Chapter 958: Who Is To Use It?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

However, Heaven Sword and Earth Saber, as well as Wan Qingliu and Bai Yuxi, were not at all concerned with Yun Yang’s pleasantries. It was not a matter of whether they believed him or not, but their collective attention was attracted by the men who were exhaustedly caught up in training at the Residence of Nine Supremes’ training grounds.

The eight people in the field had bruises and swollen faces. All of them looked the worse for wear and there were even a few of them who were crying out, holding on to their groins. In a nutshell, it was a scene of an absolute disaster and a horrible sight to behold.

It was probably due to the distance as well as the sealed six senses that all eight men were unaware of the presence of the outsiders. In spite of this, the gazes of Song Changgong and the other three elderly men lingered upon them.

These people were wilting, but their extensive experience and knowledge were still present. No matter how murky their eyes looked, it did not affect their sight. All of them felt the soaring vigor from the eight people, the type that hinted at a boundless future. Although the eight men were exhausted and injured and looked terribly pathetic, the sense of hope that they exuded heavily impacted the four seniors.

It was not that they sensed it upon discovering the mystery behind the Art of Ultimate Heaven. It was simply because the zeal spilling from Shi Wuchen and friends were what they needed and wished for the most.

All four elderly seniors who came from the General Commerce League this time around were cultivators of Supreme Saint level, with Wan Qingliu and Bai Yuxi slightly stronger than the other two. In spite of this, the two men mentioned had felt their time dwindling, knowing that their last breath would come within a year and a half. As for the Heaven Sword and Earth Saber, their conditions were far more critical. Their remaining vitality was like a flickering candle in the wind; they might die at any moment, possibly passing away once the moment they closed their eyes.

In fact, these two older men had maintained a state of suspension for years now. The league had expended an incredible amount of heaven and earth resources to keep the rein on their lives, but it was not a long-term solution as it was not of much help.

If both old men who had contributed so much to the General Commerce League had to be described, it could only be ‘on the verge of death’. Moreover, a lot of people from the league were worried that they might succumb to death themselves, given the long journey they had to take this time…

“Brother Yun, the Qi of vitality…”

Lang Fantian went straight to the point of their trip, his impatience to resolve the issue apparent. As Song Changgong and Li Yixi heard him, they turned back to look at them, while Wan Qingliu and Bai Yixu looked on with anticipating eyes.

Yun Yang himself wasted no time as he extended his arm easily, saying, “The vitality Qi is sealed within my arm. You can use it once you open the seal… but I’m not sure how many of you could use it. It’s my first time taking it out as well.”

Lang Fantian was ecstatic, immediately ushering everyone into the meditation room.

Song Changgong, Li Yixin, Wan Qingliu, and Bai Yuxi were utterly focused, respectively checking the vitality Qi around Yun Yang’s arm, before their wrinkled faces showed absolute excitement.

When hope arrived as death was knocking on the door, anyone would be exhilarated. Song Changgong and his colleagues were no exception, especially when the divine senses that sealed the Qi of vitality felt unusually intricate, exceeding all the techniques that they currently knew. They even doubted that the masters of elder level in upper-class Celestial Luck Banner sects could achieve such a refined sealing technique. What was even more outstanding was that such an intricate technique could actually be lifted at any time as long as one wished to undo it. It was like its existence was only to contain the presence of the vitality Qi!

“The sealing technique itself is already God’s doing!” Song Changgong exclaimed softly.

As the group admired the seal, they fell into an awkward silence.

The Qi of vitality was right before their eyes. The four elderly men had verified that it was genuine. The following issue was still as tricky - who should this Qi of vitality be given to?

Once the seal was undone, the Qi of vitality would stream out. It would be fine if there were a lot of it, but who should it be given to if it was only sufficient for one?

Wan Qingliu and Bai Yuxi both looked tortured by an internal struggle. Finally, they swallowed and spoke hoarsely, “The both of us… can at least keep ourselves up for half a year. There’s still some time. We can try to accumulate more spiritual gems in the time to come and wait for the next transaction… This time, Senior Song and Senior Li, please go for it.”

The two men looked at each other and took a heavy step back, despite their gazes still being trained greedily upon Yun Yang’s arm.

Yun Yang’s appraisal of these two men went up after listening to what they had said. If one had not come to this stage, it would be difficult to comprehend how huge a sacrifice and compromise they were currently making.

Death was knocking at the door and the hope to stay alive was right before their eyes, yet both of them had given it away. This was no longer a question of their morals or generosity, but a representation of their truest sentiments.

All of them knew about what was at stake. From the surface, it looked like as long as Yun Yang was still here, as long as the league collected a certain sum of heaven and earth resources, the items could be taken in for an exchange and the opportunity to acquire the vitality Qi once again was not slim.

In spite of this, it was not as simple as that. Yun Yang had long stated that whatever he was given when he entered the Spirit’s Grave was not decided by him. It was lucky that he had gotten the Qi of vitality this time around, but what about the next?

Who could be sure about what would be given then?

Perhaps, the Qi of vitality would not appear ever again, after this round…

Perhaps, this was the only time they could come in contact with the vitality Qi; there would be no second chance after missing this one!

Then, those who were waiting would be doing so in vain.

Furthermore, the General Commerce League had utilized plenty of manpower, resources, and effort to gather the number of goods this time. Maybe it could be done for another one or two times in a short period but it was impossible to assemble so many exquisite gems for so many times. When the next time came, maybe… they could not have waited for it.

A tremor ran through Song Changgong as he turned around slowly and took a deep bow at Wan Qingliu and Bai Yuxi, uttering, “Thank you, brothers.”

Wan Qingliu and Bai Yuxi’s lips quivered for a while before they answered dryly, “You’re welcome. It’s what you should receive, seniors. We’re envious, but we shouldn’t be the ones taking the Qi of vitality this time. We know this. We’re not giving in purposely, so it’s not a matter seniors should be concerned with. Life and death are fated, so is our destiny. The Qi of vitality is destined to be yours.”
