But ordinary humans had a much shorter lifespan in contrast.
Even those with power, who enjoyed wealth and had many concubines, would turn to dust after a few decades. To be enshrined in history and to be remembered by future generations was extremely difficult.
Even the Divine Kingdom’s Kingdom Knight’s and Baron’s lifespan was only a few hundred years. It was an insignificant existence in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, not to mention, in the entire vast wilderness.
Weak existences would feel tiny when they faced the vast world and the passage of time, which was infinite.
But there would always be people who did not wish to remain tiny.
They would search.
What would the future be like 10,000 years from now? What about a 100,000 years? 10,000,000 years? Did this world have an end to it?
What was at the end of the continent? Was there another piece of land across the ocean? Was there a sky above the skies?
These people would want to slowly control their own destiny. By conquering nature in the pursuit of balance, they would exist on the same level as the world!
Yi Yun was such a person.
In the past, he had no such possibility. Now, God had given him a chance. As a result, he wanted to pursue it with everything he had. He wanted to explore and see what it was like at the pinnacle of martial arts.
Pursuit…
Pinnacle…
Eternal…
There was the legend of Kua Fu who chased the Sun.
Kua Fu did not do this for wealth, for power or for beauties. All he wanted to know was where the Sun went when it set. What was at the ends of the horizons?
In the legends, Kua Fu never managed to catch up with the Sun due to the heat and exhaustion. He could not bear the thirst and he drank all the water from two rivers, but still, he died of thirst along the road.
This story seemed to make Kua Fu’s death silly. But his quest was in understanding the world and to triumph over it.
At that moment, Yi Yun suddenly felt an enlightenment…
He looked at the morning Sun in the East. He could see a rising purple gas.
Despite his tired body, he injected his spiritual energy into the Purple Crystal…
This time, he did not draw the picture according to the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ jade scroll, but he used the real morning Sun!
The pure Yang Qi began to circulate within Yi Yun’s body. Line after line of energy interwove together. Yi Yun was drawing a charm that belonged to him.
The pursuits of humans.
The pinnacle of the martial arts way.
The eternal nature…
One had to have pursuits and dreams in one’s life. What if it was achieved?
Yi Yun recited the words he had heard in his previous life. He closed his eyes and controlled the pure Yang Qi within his body. With his feeling, he guided the last stroke. He felt that this last stroke had an inexplicable power that belonged to the Sun. That eternal charm was stamped deeply into the picture of the Sun.
Instantly, the picture of the Sun in Yi Yun’s mind came alive.
“Boom!”
A burst of pure Yang fire exploded from Yi Yun’s Dantian. It burned and circulated around his body!
Yi Yun’s entire body felt like he was bathed in flames. He was like a Rainbow Blood Feather that was being reborn within the flames.
Suddenly, Yi Yun heard the sounds of eggshell cracking within his body.
With that, the energy within his body rose! More and more of it turned into a purple Qi that mixed with the pure Yang Qi in the East!
This energy became one with Yi Yun. Yi Yun felt like all of the cells in his body came alive at that very moment and they were respirating Heaven Earth Yuan Qi!
Yi Yun’s body was covered in a golden aura. It was like he had a metal cage within his body. There was a primordial species locked in the cage, and now the cage had been opened and the primordial species had been awoken!
A new, strange energy went through Yi Yun’s body!
The purple Qi grew richer. In the air, it slowly evolved into a long valley.
The blurred valley had trees and flowing rivers. But these trees and flowing rivers seemed to faintly appear within the pure Yang Qi, as if it was in a burning flame.
“Radiant Sun Qi! This is Radiant Sun Qi!” Yi Yun suddenly opened his eyes. At this moment, his eyes were like the burning Sun!
