Chapter 1793: The Ancient Sage Bo Xun

"This is Mount Yuandang!"

After the discussion concluded, Wu Chen and Zhang Xuan took their leave of Liu Yang and hurried toward the location of the ancient sage Bo Xun. Fearing detection by the Spirit Emperor and others, they dared not use the ability to tear space. However, the place was not far from the royal city, and they arrived in less than an hour.

It was more an abyss than a mountain. At a glance, it was pitch-black with no end in sight, exuding a chilling and icy aura.

"Let me try!"

Wu Chen stepped forward, hovering above the abyss, and took a deep breath: "Ancient Sage Bo Xun, your old friend Chen Yong pays a visit!"

His voice condensed into a thin thread, traveling into the depths of the darkness, spreading who knew how far.

After calling out three times, black clouds seemed to churn below the abyss, and then streaks of multicolored light shot up from below, like auroras.

As soon as these lights appeared, the two immediately felt unsteady in flight, their bodies swaying incessantly. Their true qi became uncontrollable, as if they might fall from the sky at any moment.

"It's the Yuan magnetic force!"

Zhang Xuan raised an eyebrow.

This force was akin to magnetism, but it had a destructive effect on the true qi within cultivators, making it impossible to control.

"Hmph!"

Raising an eyebrow, Wu Chen ceased his disguise and reverted to his alien form. His pure killing true qi surged, finally stabilizing his form. However, his injuries had not fully healed, and using his strength turned his face pale again.

Zhang Xuan flipped his wrist, summoning the Demonic Blade of Calamity, which he stood on to stabilize himself.

This Yuan magnetic force could damage true qi, but the Demonic Blade of Calamity was merely a weapon, devoid of true qi, and thus unaffected.

The multicolored light below churned again like surging waves, and then a figure in a black robe appeared atop the light, slowly rising.

"Ancient Sage Bo Xun!"

Emperor Chen Yong clasped his fists.

Zhang Xuan looked over.

The man before him was entirely shrouded in a black robe, with only two blood-red eyes visible, giving an eerie impression. His aura was dense and vigorous, impossible to gauge his exact strength, but compared to the earlier Ancient Sage Bu Yu, he was even more formidable.

He was even no weaker than Zhang Hongtian.

No wonder Wu Chen held him in such high esteem; he was likely a powerhouse even at the Blood Rebirth realm.

"I have long ceased to meddle in worldly affairs. Even if you come in person, it is useless!" Bo Xun's hands hidden in the darkness, his expression impassive.

"You see the situation now. I implore you, Brother Bo Xun, to lend me your aid!" Emperor Chen Yong bowed deeply.

He was severely injured, his life force nearly depleted—any cultivator could see that without explanation.

"All beings fall—emperors and commoners alike. I am content to have seen you before my death. If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave!"

Bo Xun's expression was cold. The multicolored light beneath his feet shimmered, and his figure seemed about to vanish back into the darkness.

"I have been wronged and am on the brink of death. I only wish to slay my enemy..." Emperor Chen Yong was anxious, not expecting such coldness.

I'm asking you to help me fight, not to come see you before I die!

Our friendship isn't that deep...

"I have long stepped away from power and wish not to be entangled in these matters..."

Shaking his head, Bo Xun could not be bothered to waste words. With a wave of his hand, multicolored light enveloped the entire abyss, and his figure had already entered the darkness.

"Please stay!"

Just as he was about to disappear completely, Zhang Xuan frowned and pointed a finger forward.

The multicolored light in the air was instantly drawn into his hand. The Yuan magnetic force that had previously disrupted their true qi now changed direction, surging toward the shadowy figure.

Splash!

Pressed by this force, the vanishing Bo Xun stumbled out of the darkness, as if the surrounding multicolored light was repelling him.

"Who are you... How can you control the Yuan magnetic force?"

Raising an eyebrow, Bo Xun was filled with disbelief.

He had spent no less than three thousand years comprehending the Yuan magnetic force of this abyss, and only now had he gained some insight, able to manipulate this force to unleash power that even ancient saints of the same level feared.

Yet this newcomer, with a single move, caused the multicolored light to repel him... How was that possible?

"I am not controlling it, but finding its flaws, allowing my true qi to merge with the Yuan magnetic force and resonate with the power here!"

With a light laugh, Zhang Xuan pointed a finger, and the Demonic Blade of Calamity beneath his feet was instantly retrieved into his ring. He remained suspended in the air, seemingly unaffected by the surrounding Yuan magnetic force.

Heavenly Dao true qi could even transform into the killing true qi of the aliens; changing it into Yuan magnetic force and merging with it was not too difficult.

When the other had used it earlier, he had examined it with the Library of Heaven's Path and could now employ it.

"Finding flaws? Merging true qi with Yuan magnetic force?"

Bo Xun frowned.

"Indeed!"

Responding, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath and raised both palms.

Splash!

Countless multicolored lights blazed from the abyss, a vast aurora surrounding him, making him appear like a colorful giant.

His Heavenly Dao true qi changed attributes, resonating with the Yuan magnetic force. To him, this abyss was like a warm source of power, allowing him to release strength beyond his own cultivation.

"You truly can control the Yuan magnetic force..."

Feeling that even the power he controlled was less pure than the other's, Bo Xun's face was filled with shock.

He had studied for three thousand years, yet was inferior to this young man who had just arrived.

"If you can help Emperor Chen Yong, I can teach you this method of controlling the Yuan magnetic force!"

Seeing that Bo Xun recognized his ability, Zhang Xuan looked at him.

"This..." Bo Xun hesitated.

He had stayed here for over three thousand years for the Yuan magnetic force. If he could control it as effortlessly as this man, he wouldn't have to work so hard.

Moreover, his purpose in comprehending the Yuan magnetic force was to find a suitable path to break through to a higher realm. If he could control it as easily as the other, his strength would surely advance by leaps and bounds, possibly even breaking through his current Blood Rebirth realm!

"Who injured you?"

Somewhat tempted, Bo Xun did not make a hasty decision but turned to look at Emperor Chen Yong.

As the first emperor and foremost figure of the Spirit race, even he had been wounded so severely. Although Bo Xun considered himself powerful, he understood that the opponent must be formidable.

If there was no chance of victory, he would not risk danger just to obtain the technique for resonating with the Yuan magnetic force.

"It was the Spirit Emperor and the Star Emperor! They allied with the humans to ambush me!" said Emperor Chen Yong.

"Them?"

Hearing it was the two emperors, Bo Xun's face darkened: "I can do nothing about this. You had better seek someone else!"
