Battle Through the Heavens: Live Q&a Session - Only I Know the Answers

140: Chapter 139 Creating a New Cultivation MethodThose once-sealed memories now seemed to find a breakthrough, surging like a torrential tide, stirring up massive waves within his heart.

Yao Lao gazed quietly at the horizon, falling into a long silence.

Xiao Yan stood to the side, not daring to even breathe loudly. He could feel the pain and conflict in Yao Lao’s heart and could only accompany him silently, offering wordless support.

After a long time, Yao Lao took a deep breath, as if that breath carried his many years of guilt and longing.

He said slowly, ”Little Yan-zi, do you know? Once, I thought that memory had been sealed away forever, but now, it surges like a tide, catching me off guard.”

After watching the live stream, Xiao Yan also understood the greatness of Grandmaster Han Shanshan.

He looked at Yao Lao’s back and softly comforted him, ”Teacher, Grandmaster Han Shanshan is truly great.”

Yao Lao gave a bitter smile, his expression filled with admiration and self-reproach for Grandmaster Han Shanshan.

”Yes, she is the bravest and most selfless person I have ever met. For my sake, she spared nothing, yet for a long time, I forgot her sacrifice. If not for the opportunity from this live stream, I fear I would never have remembered that past.”

Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao, his heart filled with heartache. He knew that what Yao Lao needed right now was not just comfort, but understanding and encouragement: ”Teacher, Grandmaster Han Shanshan surely would not want to see you so sad. She sacrificed herself so that you could live on well.”

Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan, his eyes full of gratification. This disciple of his was always able to provide just the right amount of warmth when he was at his most vulnerable.

”Little Yan-zi, you are right. I cannot remain immersed in sadness forever. Your grandmaster exchanged her life for my rebirth, so I should cherish this hard-won opportunity all the more, to teach you well and let you become a top expert on the Fighting Qi Continent.”

Xiao Yan nodded heavily, his eyes revealing firmness and determination: ”Teacher, rest assured, I will definitely not let you and Grandmaster Han Shanshan down.”

In the Jiama Empire, Chen Yang had already devoted himself entirely to comprehending the Sacrificial Art.

As time passed, he realized more and more profoundly the terrifying nature of this art. It was truly a divine art created by a Dou Di expert; the power and wisdom it contained far exceeded what ordinary people could imagine.

Chen Yang moved his hands, his movements flowing like clouds and water, yet carrying an aura that made people shudder.

The surrounding trees seemed to be under some invisible pull, beginning to wither and turn yellow.

Clearly, the life force of the trees was being taken away by a mysterious power.

As time went by, the decay of these trees became increasingly obvious. The originally emerald leaves all turned yellow and fell, covering the ground with a thick layer of fallen leaves.

The trees themselves also became incredibly decrepit, as if they would collapse with just a light touch.

Without a doubt, their life force had been forcibly controlled by Chen Yang and sacrificed to him, ultimately causing all these trees to die.

”Hoo...”

Chen Yang slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. Looking at the faint trace of life energy that had appeared within his body, it was clear that this had been sacrificed from the surrounding trees.

”Not bad, not bad. If I get injured in the future, I can just forcibly sacrifice my enemies to replenish myself.”

Chen Yang opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and said indifferently.

Afterwards, he slowly stood up and looked at the sun already hanging high in the sky; it was already well into the morning.

”I wonder if they have woken up yet. I should go check on them. Besides, it is time to set off for the Central Plains.”

Chen Yang thought to himself. Immediately, his figure flashed, and with a teleport, he appeared directly inside the room.

Looking at the women still fast asleep, their faces peaceful and serene, it seemed they were indeed quite tired from last night.

Chen Yang did not rush to wake them up, but instead sat cross-legged in the air within the room and began to cultivate.

Recently, he had temporarily set aside the cultivation of divine power and focused all his attention on comprehending the Undying Heavenly Art. He wanted to create a cultivation technique of his own.
