Chapter 98 Dead Branches 1 New Buds
The sharp edge of the "Dui" sword touched Fushiguro Shige's brow.
Tick.
Something fell.
Fushiguro Shigeki stopped instantly, the tip of the sword slightly pierced his skin, and drops of bright red blood oozed from his brow.
Although he cannot use cursed power to perceive, his five senses have been enhanced along with his physical body, far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
And now, every cell in his body was speaking one sentence at the same time.
——The power of this pure white sword ends here.
The white mist around that guy also became illusory and unreal——
He was forced to stop moving forward because of the sword, and fell heavily because of the loss of kinetic energy.
But it was the first time he felt such a thorough understanding - was it the joy of victory after a fierce battle?
Or is it the relief of breaking those shackles?
Or maybe...is it because of the influence of the surrounding world?
But the expression of the sword-playing boy was still indifferent, and there was even an indescribable compassion in his expression.
What's that expression?
——Are you sympathizing?
You feel pity—
Do you feel pity for me?
Why do you?!
——Can you pity me?!
Fushiguro Shier fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a large cloud of dust.
There was not a single intact part of his body, but he still held Youyun tightly in his hand. With bloodshot eyes, he slowly climbed up.
He could feel that the Qi in Su Ze's body had indeed become weaker, but the Qi in the air seemed to be everywhere.
He gritted his teeth and staggered to support himself, trying to make a last-ditch effort and find a way to defeat the enemy.
"Tracing back to the origin of Weiyu Cave, the rumors are as vast as the sea of smoke. For thousands of years, there have been many cultivators, but it is difficult to find the origin of the sect..."
?The second cave heaven——"Weiyu Cave".
It is also called "the great and empty and bright sky".
Su Ze finally spoke, his tone slow and calm.
He lowered his head and looked down at Fushiguro Shiori.
"Why do you think you can understand its source?"
Su Ze had an indifferent expression, his eyes contained a mysterious and ethereal aura, and his ethereal aura had never been so strong as it was at this moment.
just like……
In his eyes, everything in the world is the same.
For the first time, Xia Youjie felt that the term "exiled immortal" was so accurately coined.
"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as straw dogs."
Someone's voice suddenly rang in everyone's mind.
Geto Suguru felt that the remaining cursed energy was vibrating... no, perhaps it was "beating".
He seemed to understand why Su Ze deliberately pulled him and Gojo Satoru into the cave.
Because of the situation here, it can be said that the time, place and people are right.
…enlightenment.
...What is "enlightenment"?
...know?
...through?
Or something else… ?
His head was splitting, his consciousness was shattered by the pain that pierced his whole body, he felt the curse power burning, and the burning curse power attached to his flesh and blood, piercing the pain. He let out a low and hoarse roar, sweat flowed into his eyes, and the intense stinging sensation reveled in every cell.
A large area of darkness slowly emerged under his feet. That was the "door" where the cursed spirit appeared.
……
Gojo Satoru seemed to be in another world.
...What's that expression?
——Pity? Sympathy? Or sadness?
...What is that scenery?
It was as if heaven and earth were separated, with the azure "water" dividing the two.
The water on the ground formed ponds, but the sky could hardly contain even a trace of it.
Tick.
The crisp sound echoes endlessly.
The water on the ground actually flowed backwards into the sky.
After one drop, the second drop came swaying.
Then, comes the third drop.
Then connect the beads into a line.
The thin line became denser and denser, becoming a gurgling stream, and then merged into a river.
boom--
The surging river broke the shackles.
The Heaven and the Earth have been reversed.
"Water" no longer belongs to any one party.
“I see…I see!!!”
Gojo Satoru looked mad and crazy, his eyes widened to the limit, the wounds on his throat and abdomen were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, the new skin was pink and delicate, and the pool of blood under his body was rippling.
"This is it—" He raised his hands high, bent his fingers and clenched them tightly.
"The core of the cursed power!!"
His tone was trembling and crazy, and his bright blue pupils reflected the entire world.
It is vast and boundless, encompassing all of myriad sects.
For the first time, he felt the flow and grandeur of "life".
Fushiguro Shige was shocked by the scene before him. He stared at Gojo Satoru, and the next moment, he dragged his wounded body and burst out again, rushing in front of him in a moment.
null--
Yuyun's attack missed. The figure in front of him disappeared.
He turned his head in horror and saw a scene he would never forget.
A purple spot of light condensed on Gojo Satoru's fingertips.
——That is the fusion of "Heaven" and "Earth".
Using "water" called "curse power" as a medium.
"Virtual Style"
Gojo Satoru was suspended in the air, his hands forming seals and drawing arcs, and the azure "Eyes of the Sky" reflected the truth of all things in the world of sorcery.
"Heaven and earth..."
He looked intoxicated, oblivious to everything around him.
“…I am the only one who is supreme.”
— Tick.
Something fell.
The surging crimson-purple color swallowed up everything.
……
"How is she?" The gentle voice had a hint of vagueness in it.
"It's okay." A lazy voice said softly, "You've worked so hard these days..." she continued to add.
"...No, you are."
The "Dui" sword was still hanging at his side, the white long sword was fluttering in the air, and it seemed to be shrinking for a moment.
He sighed heavily and covered his rib injury.
“Your injury…?” Nishiko squatted beside Tenriko and looked up to ask.
"It's okay, Qi is slowly repairing my body." Su Ze looked tired, with deep sunken eye sockets.
His lips moved, but he remained silent.
Nitro is concentrating on treatment.
The sword trembled slightly, and Su Ze lightly snapped his fingers.
Two figures stepped out one after the other.
“…Where’s that guy?”
Su Ze's tone was filled with fatigue.
"I still have a breath." Gojo Satoru fell into the stage of nothingness after madness, and the feeling of emptiness made him feel confused.
"You really...played a good game of chess."
Geto Suguru's face still looked grim because of the pain, and he frowned. The breathing of Tenriko in front of Nozomi gradually slowed down.
Su Ze did not respond.
The effect of "Weiyu Cave" is mysterious. Xiayou Jie and Gojo Satoru were able to sense Su Ze's state of mind, thanks to this incidental result -
"Great emptiness and clarity"
The human heart is hard to predict, but in the "emptiness and clarity" there is no longer any barrier.
The three of them not only saw each other's state of mind, but also saw Fushiguro Shigenori's memories and emotions.
It was only then that the two of them understood Su Ze's back-up plan -
"Glass, she..."
Su Ze was very tired.
"Always in the realm of the 'Dui' sword."
He stated a fact that the two of them already knew.
Glass raised her hand slightly and greeted Goka, who didn't know what expression to show.
-
"Heaven and earth are not benevolent..." is a sentence from Tao Te Ching.
Original sentence: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, they treat all things as straw dogs; sages are not benevolent, they treat the people as straw dogs."
"Unkind" does not mean unkind. Rather, it means having no subjective emotions and not having any special feelings towards anything.
Straw dog: a symbolic word. Originally refers to a dog-shaped object made of straw in a sacrificial ceremony, which is burned or discarded after the ceremony.
