Chapter 1699: The Flower King

Chapter 1699: The Flower King

Walking on the bare mountain path, Ye Xiao kept both hands behind his back. He was so tall and slim, like a big tree with his long robe flickering the air. He was handsome and elegant. He walked slowly like it was an enjoyable trip to a scenic spot.

“The Matchless Soul Valley; the Matchless Soul Valley. The world’s unique scenery. Life depends on fate here; heroes rely on luck!” Ye Xiao chanted and laughed. “Life depends on fate here; heroes rely on luck! Hah hah hah… It is fate, and it is luck… Perhaps, it is fate that pushes everything. Well, this is too pessimistic.”

An insidious voice sounded from nowhere as if it sounded everywhere. “Oh? Pessimistic? How come?”

Ye Xiao blandly said, “When you submit to fate, you give yourself up to others. What cultivators do is to go against the will of the heavens. We make use of the energy that doesn’t belong to us. We steal the chance that isn’t given to us. If somebody like us talks about letting fate decide life, that would be ridiculous!”

The insidious voice sounded again. “Well, you think life doesn’t depend on fate, and a hero doesn’t need good luck, don’t you?”

Ye Xiao walked up on the hill and said, “Well, I control my life, and I decide my future!”

The man sneered and blandly said, “You must be confident. Well, the truth may fail you. Since you are here in the Matchless Soul Valley, your life is in my hands, and I decide your future.”

Ye Xiao blandly smiled and said, “Not in my hands? In your hands instead? Oh, I don’t think so.”

The insidious man sounded surprised. He stopped for a while and said, “An arrogant and ignorant kid!”

Ye Xiao said, “You are speaking to me. I think you are interested. Why don’t you just show yourself? So I can see who on earth actually believes he controls my life!”

The man blandly said, “If I show myself, you are dead. For one hundred thousand years, nobody escaped death after seeing my face!”

Ye Xiao laughed and said, “What? Would you keep hiding if I don’t invite you out? I have offended you, and if I leave safely today, what would people think of you when they know this? A young man breaks your rules!”

The man was quiet for a while. Apparently, Ye Xiao touched his nerve.

All of a sudden, the cold wind blew up. Countless shadows of a man showed up from everywhere. As Ye Xiao looked carefully, he realized those shadows were the same guy.

The shadows were moving in the fog.

“The Matchless Soul Valley; the Matchless Soul Valley. The world’s unique scenery.” The shadows spoke at the same time. “Young man, do you know why this is the unique scenery?”

Ye Xiao frowned and looked around. All he could see were bare rocks everywhere. He honestly answered, “I truly have no idea. This is just a bare mountain of rocks. I don’t see any unique scenery at all.”

The man laughed and said, “You are frank and honest. You didn’t lie like you knew everything. Truth to be told, the unique scenery is something every man saw before they died in my hands.”

Ye Xiao’s pupils shrunk. He said in a deep voice, “If this is what you mean… The unique scenery is the scenery only a dead man can see?”

“The Matchless Soul Valley is foggy, and heroes are buried. The soil covers the flowers up, and they won’t blossom before I show up.”

The man chanted. The shadows in the sky suddenly scattered away. Only one shadow still stood in the air.

The man slowly stretched both hands and pushed downward.

Countless shiny spots flew out from his two hands like stars all over the area. Within seconds, they had reached the entire Matchless Soul Valley!

The next moment, a unique scene was showing up!

The bare mountains in the Matchless Soul Valley suddenly became an ocean of flowers.

The Matchless Soul Valley was full of flowers in different colors. Ye Xiao didn’t just see the flowers. He smelled the beautiful scent of the flowers. It permeated a thousand miles away.

Ye Xiao was sure that it was not a magic or a delusion trick. He saw something green growing up on the bare land and quickly becoming flowers… They blossomed immediately at the same time in the end…

That was the most beautiful picture of flowers.

Everything happened within seconds.

All he could see was an ocean of flowers. His feet were surrounded by flowers as well.

The wonderful scent of the blossoming flowers immersed him.

Within seconds, just the time of a click of fingers, the bare hillside—completely bare mountains of rocks suddenly became the ocean of colorful flowers.

‘What was that?’

‘What is this incredible power?’

The King of Poisons behind Ye Xiao was totally astounded.

He had the thought again. ‘If Lord Monarch wants to risk his own life, it is his own business. I have nothing to do with this! Why was I so stupid there? Why didn’t I leave some money on the rock?’

‘I am getting caught in the crossfire. This is wrong. I shouldn’t die like this!’

The man slowly flew out of the ocean of flowers. He was wearing a long robe that was white like pure snow. He didn’t look at Ye Xiao, just stood aside with his hands behind the back, as if Ye Xiao or anybody else didn’t exist. He soulfully looked at the flowers around him, and spoke to Ye Xiao in a low voice, “Xiao Monarch, this is my unique scenery. Are you satisfied?”

Ye Xiao smiled and said, “The owner of the Matchless Soul Valley actually knows my insignificant title. I am flattered.”

The man blandly said, “Don’t be. The Lord Monarch, known as the One Meter Higher Sky, has been winning his way from the west to the east of the Limitless Ocean. I must pay attention to it. You are truly just as good as people said.”

Ye Xiao said, “Thank you. I am truly flattered. Thank you for the special scene that you bestowed upon me.”

The man in the white robe kept his hands behind the back and looked at the ocean of flowers. He blandly said, “Lord Monarch, don’t be too modest. There were a lot of people who did not follow my rules when they came to my place. I showed them this unique scenery. This is the most beautiful scenery in the world. I killed them after that.”

“Every dead soul in the Matchless Soul Valley saw what you see before death descended. They died with no regrets.” The man in the white robe gently said, “The Matchless Soul Valley; the Matchless Soul Valley. The world’s unique scenery.”

He stopped for a while as if he was leaving time for the audience to think. He said, “What you see is… the unique scenery of the world. This blessed wonderful scenery is built by me with my own hands.”

He slowly turned over and looked at Ye Xiao. His eyes were clear, and they were full of indifference and coldness. It was like he was staring at a dead man.

When the man turned to look at the ocean of flowers, the eyes became lively again.

There was a heat like fire.

“Ye Xiao, you are lucky to have the chance to see the world’s unique scenery. You should die in peace.” The man in the white robe gently talked to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao laughed again. In a deep voice, he said, “I won’t talk about dying in peace so soon. Let’s talk about what you just did. It was a surprise, but not as incredible as you think. At least, this is far from the unique scenery I expected. This is much worse. Sometimes things are better before they are seen! This is disappointing!”

The man in the white robe showed a fierce look for the first time. He coldly said, “Oh? Not as incredible as I think, really?”

Ye Xiao said, “What you did was impressive. You absorbed the dead qi and used it to create the blossoming flowers. Within just a few finger moves, you played the Yin and Yang. All the flowers are at the prime moment of their lives. It did shock me very much, but for people who know what it truly is about, this is not so incredible after all.”

The man in the white robe coldly smirked and said, “Oh? In your opinion, is there anything better than this? More magical than this?”

Ye Xiao was surprised. “Do you actually think what you did represents the highest performance in the world? This is weird. It is true that sometimes people are better in the stories than in reality! Well, you are quite much… stronger than what they said indeed!”

That was ambiguous. The man in the white robe felt surprised, but he didn’t get mad. He just waited for Ye Xiao to continue.

“You made this area a wasted land, but let it free before the eyes of the people you wanted to kill… It is the life energy that you unleash… Well, you accelerate the growth of the flowers, which is magnificent. However, you don’t do it for the beautiful scenery.”

Ye Xiao blandly said, “What you really want from it… You just want to gather your own energy. The lively flower sea here is the source of your energy. As long as the ocean of flowers is here, the energy supply will continue. You are invincible in your own ocean of flowers!”

Ye Xiao coldly raised up his head and stared at the man in the eyes. “You are using the flowers here to create the endless energy for you. The life qi will eventually become death qi, and that is why you always win the fight!

“And now, I know who you really are, Master Flower King!”

Ye Xiao smiled and said, “The Flower King used to travel the world. Wherever you went, beautiful flowers followed. What a surprise! You are actually the owner of the Matchless Soul Valley, the first of the nineteen passes!

“Compared to the world’s unique scenery, your real identity shocked me much more!”

The man in the white robe didn’t move. He just stared at Ye Xiao with a pair of cold eyes, which was full of murderous intent at the moment.

“It is said that the Flower King used to travel the world, looking down upon the martial world. Whenever you gave it a thought, flowers blossomed around you. However, look at you now—you can only play your own tricks in the Matchless Soul Valley, playing a stupid role. What a shame!”

Ye Xiao asked with curiosity, “Master Flower King, what actually happened to you? Did you mess with the big boss who you shouldn’t mess with? Is that why you hide in this place, playing these tricks, pretending to be somebody else? Please. I will be so glad to hear your sad story!”

The man in white robe heard Ye Xiao. His face turned colorless, and he took a deep breath. His eyes were full of murderous intent. He slowly said, “What happened to me is none of your business. Apparently, you have forgotten what the most important thing is. You have seen my unique scenery, and you will die here for it. Trust me, it is easy for me to take your life!”

That was fierce, but he didn’t deny his true identity.

Ye Xiao blandly said, “Take my life? Easy? Is it really? Let me tell you something. There are millions of people who want to say the same thing and truly want to kill me.

“However, I am still here, alive!”

Ye Xiao blandly smiled and said, “Master Flower King, you used to be such a handsome man. Wherever you went, ladies chased after you… They were crazy for you… However, that is what the stories tell. As I can see now, you looked boring and dull. I don’t see how impressive your face is. That is such a surprise to me as well! I wonder if the story about your appearance has anything to do with your misfortune?”

The Flower King’s eyes became extremely sharp. It seemed he had almost gone mad now.

What Ye Xiao said seemed to touch his raw nerve.

The Flower King made a long shout and angrily said, “Xiao Monarch, Ye Xiao! You are going to die today! I can assure you!”

Ye Xiao casually smiled and said, “What is this about? Are you ashamed of anger? It is said that the Flower King is such a generous and lenient person. What a surprise again! The stories lie again! Are you really the great Flower King? I did not mistake you, did I?”

The Flower King coughed badly but didn’t say anything afterward.

“Don’t you at least have the courage to answer me?” Ye Xiao blandly said, “If you truly are the Flower King who controls the ocean of flowers, I should respect you. However, you can’t even leave this Matchless Soul Valley. You are like a prisoner here. It seems that you set up this unique scenery trick to create a legend, but I think you just do not have the confidence to fight somewhere else. You have no faith in yourself anymore, so you have to create a place that is definitely good for you. Otherwise, you don’t dare to fight. Many people died here, but none of them was at the same level as you. Am I right? You are a coward. Do you really think you can kill me? Come on.”

The Flower King angrily shouted and jumped up to the sky with a dash.

The flower sea was waving because of it. Many petals flew up to the sky.

The petals immediately gathered in the sky and became a giant colorful sword!

The sword was hundreds of feet long and dozens of feet wide. The handle of the sword was as big as a house.

When the flower sword was formed, the Flower King had flown over the sword and reached his hand to the handle. The sword suddenly shrunk and eventually became a sword of normal size, shining colorful lights.

The Flower King held the sword and made a slash down from the sky.

He was confident, and he was furious, but he was careless when making the first attack on the Xiao Monarch.

Ye Xiao was new to the Limitless Ocean, but he had already defeated a lot of superior cultivators. Besides, he had defeated Fang Wudi, one of the most powerful people in the west of the Limitless Ocean. How did the Flower King dare to underestimate Ye Xiao?

Ye Xiao suddenly made a dash. He jumped up to the sky and abruptly became two men. Two Ye Xiao appeared at the same time.

When he held the sword and stood on the floor, he was like the king of the world!

The king descended with his sword!

The next moment, when he jumped up, there were two streams of sword lights going toward the Flower King.

Two streams of rising purple qi were rolling in the sword lights, which was splendid!

The Flower King was rushing down from the sky, while Ye Xiao was moving up to fight back.

The Flower King didn’t underestimate the enemy. Ye Xiao was using some martial art that he had never used before.

It was even more powerful than the Xiao Monarch’s Nine Laughters.

It was originated with the same energy of the East-rising Purple Qi.

The first move.

“Initiation of chaos with the purple qi from the east!”
