Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1220: Chapter 1217: The Sea Changes into Mulberry Fields, Stars and Moon Sink Deeply (2nd Update)

Divine Prison.

Ten days had passed, and during these days, Zui Meng and Yu Ren had been guarding Xue An without taking a single step away.

Xiao Tian hadn’t left either, but he seemed to be possessed, sitting idly among the abandoned lofty towers, his gaze obsessed, lost in unknown thoughts.

At this moment, Xue An was enveloped by layers of luminous brilliance, forming a thick cocoon of light.

Although the situation inside could not be clearly seen, Zui Meng could distinctly feel that Xue An’s aura was gradually intensifying.

Finally.

After three more days had passed, the cocoon began to tremble lightly, and then it shattered like an eggshell.

Seated in the lotus position within was Xue An, who slowly opened his eyes.

Where his gaze fell, a streak of golden light swept across heaven and earth.

Zui Meng and Yu Ren shook all over, then they lowered their heads in shock, not daring to look directly into Xue An’s eyes.

For they felt that at this moment, Xue An’s eyes seemed to contain infinite authority, compelling them to bow down in veneration.

Xue An took a deep breath, gently blinked, and the brilliance in his eyes receded, the overwhelming pressure from a moment ago disappearing completely.

Zui Meng and Yu Ren couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief, then said with joy on their faces: ”My lord, your injuries...”

Xue An nodded with a smile, ”It’s no trouble anymore!”

With that said, Xue An slowly stood up.

Indeed, the horrifying scars that crisscrossed his body had mostly vanished, save for the deepest wound between his chest and abdomen which still remained.

His severed arm had also regenerated, but Xue An knew this was only a temporary restoration of function, and true recovery would require a much longer time.

After all, his injuries this time were extraordinary, having even shaken his very foundation.

In reality, if it were any other cultivator who had suffered such severe injuries, even if they managed to survive, their path of cultivation would likely be severed.

Because the journey of cultivation itself defies the heavens, and the slightest mishap may end any chance of progress.

This is also the reason why most cultivators try their best to avoid life-and-death disagreements, for in such conflicts, even if you win, it might be a pyrrhic victory that could jeopardize one’s own future prospects.

Only a supreme power like Xue An, who had once reached the peak, could have the confidence that such injuries would not hinder his cultivation.

In fact, during these thirteen days, Xue An had done many things.

First, he reviewed all the abilities he had cultivated thus far, and then with resolute determination, began to heal the injuries within his body.

This process was excruciatingly painful and extended, yet Xue An managed to complete it in just a matter of days.

Now, although his appearance still seemed a bit alarming, he was actually mostly unharmed, and when he fully recovered, his strength would surely advance a step further, and his cultivation level, half-step Great Luo, would be thoroughly stabilized.

Naturally, Zui Meng and Yu Ren were thrilled beyond measure, while Xue An turned to look at the silly looking Xiao Tian sitting on the ground in the distance, heaved a soft sigh, and then walked over slowly.

Xiao Tian, oblivious to everything that had happened, appeared to have sealed off his heart, becoming as lifeless as a wooden puppet.

Xue An stood next to him, looked up at the dozen or so towers, then said softly: ”If you feel like crying, just cry it out! It will make you feel better!”

The volume was not loud, yet it caused Xiao Tian’s body to jolt, and then, with a dazed expression, he turned his gaze towards Xue An.

Xue An did not acknowledge his gaze, but continued, ”I won’t comfort you because I know that no mere words can make up for such things! After all... nobody can truly understand someone else’s feelings!”

Xiao Tian trembled lightly, and a look of sorrow and pain finally emerged on his previously vacant face as he uttered his first words in the past several days.

”Mr. Xue... I’m so sad!”

Xue An nodded and said softly, ”I know!”

A smile uglier than crying squeezed itself onto Xiao Tian’s face as he then said shakily.

”Leaving that ghostly place, I spent these days thinking about how incredibly long a span of ten thousand years is! It’s long enough to turn seas into mulberry fields and to make stars and moons sink! Yet in such a vast expanse of time, our master silently endured cruel torture in this place! And I... I knew nothing and even became the enemy’s lackey, manipulated at will!”

As he spoke, tears filled Xiao Tian’s face, then he roared with a voice nearly driven to despair, ”Mr. Xue, tell me, am I not a scoundrel?”

Zui Meng and Yu Ren were watching from a distance, and at some point, they too had tears streaming down their faces.

After a moment of silence, Xue An nodded slowly, ”Yes, you are indeed a scoundrel! The very worst kind of scoundrel!”

”That’s right! You are absolutely correct, sir! I am not even worthy of being called a scoundrel! Ha ha ha ha!” Xiao Tian let out a howl that sounded like both crying and laughing, then he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

”Xiao Tian!” Zui Meng cried out, about to rush forward.

Xue Anchong shook his head slightly at her, signaling her not to come over, and then quietly looked down.

At this moment, Xiao Tian bent his body and let out a low growl like a beast.

That was his wailing sobs.

Xue An did not stop him, but a trace of pity appeared in his gaze.

Not until some time had passed did he speak faintly, ”So then? What do you intend to do?”

Hearing Xue An’s question, Xiao Tian gradually stopped crying and then slowly lifted his head, staring solemnly at Xue An.

”Mr. Xue, I will forever engrave the favor of avenging my master within me, and please allow me to repay you in the next life!”

After speaking, Xiao Tian gave a deep kowtow, thumping his head on the ground three times.

Then he closed his eyes, determined to end his own life.

In fact, he had this intention as soon as he woke up, but Xue An was meditating to heal at that time and had not yet roused.

In order to express his gratitude and to act as a protector for Xue An, he had waited until now.

Now that he had finally seen Xue An, he felt that everything was settled, and he could finally be released and accompany his master.

His action naturally shocked Zui Meng and Yu Ren, both wanting to stop him.

But Xue An did not move at all, even when Xiao Tian knelt down to perform his kowtows, he just coldly observed.

It was not until Xiao Tian closed his eyes, resolute in his suicide, that Xue An scoffed and said, ”To think that a being like the revered Early God was born a god, with such renown, yet his own subordinate is such a coward?”

Hearing this, Xiao Tian, with his eyes closed, shuddered, but he did not argue back because he was already filled with a resolve to die.

After all... Mr. Xue was right; I truly am a coward!

With a heart full of desolation, Xiao Tian thought and was about to ignite his divine soul.

But just then, Xue An said coldly, ”Do you really think... that dying can prove your loyalty? And since you’re so eager to die, then go ahead and die! It’s just a pity for the revered Early God; even the last glimmer of hope was extinguished by his own most trusted subordinate!”

With that, Xue An turned and walked away.
