1523 Monster, Crystal, and Mysterious Power

The accidental blunder by Hidden Spring sent the video of the fight between Hidden Wind and Xia Fan into the group chat with the Four Great Clans. Instantly, like a depth charge dropped into a pond, countless big and small fishes were caught in the blast…

A young warrior had actually fought Hidden Wind to a standstill?

Hidden Wind was a distinguished madman. Everyone knew how brutal his methods were. The fact that he was willing to unleash such attacks upon Xia Fan was enough to prove that, yet Xia Fan was still able to force their confrontation into a stalemate, in spite of Hidden Wind’s strong assault!

Examining the video even more closely, they could tell that Xia Fan’s speed had broken past 4000 m/s, which meant he was Advanced Star Domain rank!

Other special abilities reaching Advanced Star Domain rank might be nothing, but this was Speed! It was the special ability that was considered the most terrifying and most difficult to train!

He was of such a young age, yet he already possessed such a formidable cultivation. It was simply hard to imagine!

For a while, an undercurrent brewed. The Four Great Clans appeared to be a united front on the surface, when really they were vying for power with each other behind the scenes. Given Xia Fan’s strength, he was definitely qualified to join the circle of the peak warriors among the Four Great Clans, but the only problem was, who among the four would be the first to recruit him?

While there were those who became interested in Xia Fan after he was discovered, there were also those who were gnashing their teeth and gloomy. People like Moon Wanhe, who had wanted to kill Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha several days ago, all for the sake of protecting his son, had instead nearly found himself being the one on the verge of losing his life. He had ultimately managed to escape thanks to the protection of an old ancestor of his clan.

“This kid is truly haunting me everywhere I go!” Moon Wanhe hissed in anger after watching the video.

…

…

Xia Fan went to the home of Hidden Wind, as was their arrangement, and waited for his return.

Hidden Water was very attentive, serving tea and satisfying the needs of Traveling Buddha, the young master. Traveling Buddha was someone who lived with a silver spoon in his mouth, and was treating this attention as if it was entirely deserved. Xia Fan could not help but sigh. This was life; Hidden Water clearly had the conditions to be treated like a princess by anyone out there, yet she was willing to follow Traveling Buddha with all her heart. One was willing to serve, while the other was willing to be served; Fate was truly quite a wonder.

Hidden Wind only returned after dusk had fallen. There were several simple dishes on the dining table, and the four of them shared dinner together. Hidden Wind was silent the whole time they had the meal, as if he had plenty on his mind. He had an unpleasant look on his face, so Xia Fan and the others did not say much either.

After they were done, Hidden Wind invited Xia Fan, Traveling Buddha, and his granddaughter into his study. He then closed the door behind them, and first turned to face Xia Fan.

“You wish to know the reason behind the planets splitting?” Hidden Wind asked.

Xia Fan nodded.

Hidden Wind said, “Actually, there’s no way we can hide this any longer either, so telling this to you all earlier isn’t a problem.

“The reason why the planets are experiencing fission is related to the evolution of the exotic beasts. They are both a result of some mysterious power that is quietly changing the space.

“Not too long ago, that pangolin that you three encountered, was actually a very common sort among the exotic beasts. There are still many more stronger beings that none of you have seen, and they are extremely frightening, possessing great strength and intelligence beyond what you can imagine.

It has been many years, and no one has seen any of those old monsters of the Four Great Clans, That is because they are all concentrating all their energy ion fending off that mysterious power.”

Hidden Water wrinkled her brow. “Haven’t the patriarchs of the Four Great Clans been living in the city all this while?”

Hidden Wind let out a cold snort and said with contempt, “Those living in the city are just dummies. Back then, they even wanted to make me the patriarch, but I rejected them!

“The old monsters I’m referring to aren’t in the city. When I wanted to kill Moon Wanhe the other time, the mysterious power who stopped me, someone that I was helpless against, was one of the real core experts from the Four Great Clans.”

Xia Fan was shocked. He and Traveling Buddha had also been pinned down by that same amazing power. Recalling the incident now, anyone who could wield such a god-like power definitely had to be a monstrous existence!

Hidden Wind continued, “In any case, the old monsters have brought word back that they cannot hold on anymore. The moment they let go, the space will collapse, and from then on, it just might cause the entire Ashen Moon Universe to descend into chaos. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

“As for just what the mysterious power might be, I can’t explain, either. When you leave later, I’ll give you a few coordinates, and you can go have a look. You’ll be able to understand what I mean then.”

With that, Hidden Wind turned his focus toward Traveling Buddha, “Do you wish to learn Law Power?”

Traveling Buddha’s temper reappeared, as he nonchalantly answered, “I’m okay with learning it, I’m also fine with not.”

This guy!

Even Xia Fan wanted to go and slap him. They were already at this point, so what was the point of acting high and mighty? Would it kill him to debase himself slightly on occasion?

Xia Fan had thought Hidden Wind would get mad with that response, but who would have thought he actually chuckled and replied with an equal level of disinterest, “Whatever, it’s not like I’m saying this to you alone.”

Hidden Wind spoke in a serious tone, “What’s known as Law Power is actually, to be very precise, a Law Barrier.”

As Hidden Wind said this, it was Pearl who gasped in Xia Fan’s consciousness, “He really understands it! This term ‘Law Barrier’ was also something that I heard from your clan of madmen. Indeed, it was a Law Barrier!”

Xia Fan was taken aback, and quickly pricked his ears up to listen. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

Hidden Wind explained, “You are all special ability users, and have experienced the process of breaking through your seventh brain barrier. To put it simply, Law Power is a second barrier! After you break through that, your special ability will experience a sublimation. If you were to break through the third barrier, then you’d turn from mortal into Venerates!

“There are two methods to break the barrier. One depends on inheritance, such as a method to cultivate the various special abilities passed down through the generations in clans, allowing them to accumulate experiences that will allow warriors after them to gain a solid foundation. This is a method dependent on manpower, getting them to open the way through the Law Barrier.

“But there’s always a limitation to raw manpower. In order to break past the Law Barrier, unless they were some extraordinary expert, most people have to depend on external help.

“The mysterious power that’s causing the planets to fission, as well as the creation of these new exotic beasts , is something that could help us break through this barrier. This type of mysterious power is very special. I’m sure you’ve all seen those beast crystals, haven’t you? Humans will grow horns if they consume those crystals.

“But let me tell you, the growth of the horns is only the slightest of side effects. If one were to consume too many of those beast crystals, they will ultimately find themselves transformed into existences that are neither human nor beast.

“That is why all of you need a different power. Absorb the mysterious crystals that were born from absorbing the essence of earth and heaven. They are as harmless as energy crystals, and were shaped like chicken hearts. Their colors are very vivid and eye-catching.

“I am someone that managed to break past the first layer of the Law Barrier, but my brain has no horns precisely, because I’ve been using the mysterious crystals.

“Energy crystals, Beast crystals, and on top of that, the mysterious crystals. Those are the three main components of the crystal world that I presently know of. Energy crystals provide energy, but they are useless when attempting to break through the Law Barrier. Beast crystals could be helpful, but will ultimately turn you into a monster. The mysterious crystals are completely different, and whether humans or beasts use them, they will have a chance to break their barrier, becoming god-like existences!”

Hidden Wind was acting very abnormal after returning from his meeting with the clan patriarch. He did not leave anything unspoken, and practically told them everything he knew. This was the first time Hidden Water had heard him speak of this, despite having been with him for a very long time.

Hidden Wind spoke in a long-winded manner, not getting tired of repeating himself. It seemed like he was more afraid that Xia Fan and the others would not understand what he was trying to relate, almost as if he was a dead man giving his last words in the event of his passing. He repeatedly asked the three if they understood what he was saying, and he would explain it all over if there was anything they failed to grasp.

Xia Fan summed up the meaning of Hidden Wind’s words, and it more or less came down to a few points.

First, the old monsters from the Four Great Clans might no longer be able to contain this mysterious power. The moment they let go, what would ensue would most likely be a terrible event.

Next, if they desired to break through the Law Barrier, the method of doing so was to locate mysterious crystals. Though beast crystals could achieve the same result, it was best to avoid them, for safety’s sake.

Lastly, Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha ought to head off to a certain place as soon as possible. When there, they would be able to personally witness the truth.

——

Without even realizing, it was already bright outside.

Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha headed back to Dragon Dou’s residence with a belly full of doubts in them.

“When are we going to where Hidden Wind mentioned?” Traveling Buddha said, a solemn expression on his face.

Xia Fan was startled, “And here I was thinking that you did not believe any of his words.”

Traveling Buddha waved him off dismissively. “I can’t not believe him. He was acting too abnormally last night, and even Hidden Water silently told me that Hidden Wind spoke more words last night than what she had heard for her entire life.”

Xia Fan nodded, “Sooner is better than later. Let’s head back now and pack up. We’re leaving immediately.”

“Got it,” Traveling Buddha said.

—

The two of them returned to Dragon Du’s home. Dragon Dou was a foolish son of the local tyrant, and was still sleeping in right now. His servants said that he had gone out to have fun late into the night, and only returned home not too long ago.

Thus, Xia Fan relayed a message to Dragon Dou through the servant, to inform him that Traveling Buddha and him would be leaving for a few days, then went into their rooms to pack up their things.

In no time at all, the two were done with their packing. Xia Fan suddenly remembered that he had used the Cosmic Iron to forge a pair of weapons that were still absorbing the beast crystals. He had no idea how much they had absorbed, so he reached into his spatial ring and retrieved the case they were in.
