Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1551 - 414: Crystal Ball Fracture, Never Completed

In that perspective, more void than the void itself, the juice was still gently swaying, its leaves a vibrant green, bursting with life, just like everything at the very beginning, filled with endless possibilities.And the starting point of it all was when Yu Ziqing, filled with absolute confidence, completed a root cutting transplant.

The tales of past times have turned into the past, leaving only an old stump.

The tales of new times have gained a new name, called Juice, sturdy, vibrant with life, exceptionally resilient.

The moment it was endowed with a new name, true rebirth was completed.

Immortal Herbs are the most mystical existence, yet for this very reason, when an Immortal Herb starts approaching the end of life from a human perspective, normally, it's like the torrent of time, unstoppable.

Even the Immortal Herb itself cannot withstand the arrival of that day.

Although Immortal Herbs, unlike humans, do not pursue eternity, or longevity, and do not even resist perishing.

The tales of past times, awaited natural demise in a state where blooming was no longer possible.

Yet, when a person, one not belonging to this world, with a mind filled with countless imprints not of this world, sees it merely as a flower, simply wishing to revive it, and possesses absolute confidence.

When crouching in front of it, telling all sorts of little stories, as if afraid it can't bear it, meticulously applying thin fertilizer, changing to the best and most suitable soil, everything began to change.

The tales of times, like the old stump, thoroughly transformed into the past.

Now, there is only Juice, gently swaying its form, growing robustly.

When Yu Ziqing was eroded by something beyond normal scope, involving the realm Juice had touched, some kind of charm or power or other entity intervened in an undetectable way from an unseen perspective.

Which is roughly like giving the adversary a sneak attack from behind when they secretly did something bad.

But currently, Juice, having just passed the toothpick seedling stage, still showed some limitations.

So, the Undying Mandala emerged, and the opposition retreated voluntarily.

Yu Ziqing, of course, didn't know what happened, only sensing faintly, something might have occurred, yet maybe nothing at all.

Moreover, while being immersed in the insights Han Dong once had, the overlap made Yu Ziqing even more unable to distinguish whether it was Han Dong's sensing, or his own.

Because, both were, and exactly the same.

Yu Ziqing couldn't determine anything, but he still cautiously withdrew from the insights.

He held the Short Sword given by Han Dong in one hand, furrowing his brow in thought, sensed again, still having a kind of vague sensing, utterly indescribable.

He put away the Short Sword, and at that moment, he felt he had sensed something.

He rummaged through his belongings, finding the True Sixty-four-sided Crystal covered in dust.

After unsealing it, he saw the Sixty-four-sided Crystal, in the absence of anyone peering, slightly flickering, with runes inside constantly shifting and glowing.

Finally, the runes converged into one, manifesting a very simple meaning.

"There are limits to people, but heaven is endless."

Yu Ziqing frowned slightly, reviewing it again with nobody around, somehow it self-manifests.

What does this mean?

However, just as Yu Ziqing gazed at that rune, another anomaly appeared.

Before the rune completely settled, it flickered slightly, seemingly unchanged, yet its meaning entirely shifted.

Still a phrase seeming very simple.

"The Blue Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven should rise."

This sentence was too familiar to Yu Ziqing, and he was very certain, he had never said it, nor written it.

In this world, speaking or writing this phrase could mean completely different things.

In an instant, Yu Ziqing understood, even just seeing it was an influence.

Something major must have happened.

The True Crystal Ball, always following the Riddler style, he couldn't understand what each piece of information was, so he sealed it and left it to gather dust, seldom taking it out.

After all, the creator of the Riddler, because of disliking riddles, created the Riddler.

Isn't there a saying, the smile doesn't disappear, it just transfers?

Let the Riddler annoy others—it's better than being annoyed oneself.

Like this Sixty-four-sided Crystal Ball, if really used, Yu Ziqing feels the counterfeit he made is more useful.

Although the counterfeit is also quite riddle-like, but if it annoys others, then it's fine.

It's rare for the True one to appear once he can immediately understand, able to instantly grasp the presented meaning.

Yu Ziqing felt certain something had happened, he just didn't know what.

He could only use that vague sensing to feel as if something occurred.

Then, the light of the rune within the True Sixty-four-sided Crystal gradually dissipated, and at the very moment it stabilized, a crack appeared on the surface of the Crystal Ball.

Yu Ziqing stared at the Crystal Ball for a while, remained silent for a long time, refrained from turning the Crystal Ball to see if a new rune would emerge, or to check if the Crystal Ball was broken, silently packed it away and resealed it.

From the start, he felt that this Sixty-four-sided Crystal Ball was peculiar, possibly holding pitfalls he hadn't discovered.
