Chapter 200: The Firmament Chain!

Chapter 200 The Firmament Chain!

Chu Xun had only heard of the legendary Firmament Chain. He had never really seen it before.

For three thousand years in the world of cultivation, Chu Xun was known as a genius. However, now it seemed that he was less than a true genius.

For example, Emperor Ao was a person that the heaven was jealous of and afraid of. How stunning had he been in the past?

“What exactly is the Firmament Chain?” Chu Xun asked curiously.

Emperor Ao glanced at him and said indifferently, “It is just a golden chain.”

Chu Xun was stunned.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Ao reached out his hand.

Chu Xun instantly understood what Emperor Ao meant. He placed his hand on the wrist of Emperor Ao and then his divine sense spread to Emperor Ao.

Chu Xun’s eyes widened all of a sudden. He saw the Firmament Chain.

However, it was still a bit different from what Emperor Ao said.

He saw that Emperor Ao’s bones, internal organs, meridians, and even his heart were all locked tightly by chains, which were as thick as fingers and shining with golden light.

Was this the Firmament Chain?

Chu Xun was curious about it, so a strand of his divine sense went to touch it. However, the divine sense was absorbed by the Firmament Chain before it could get close. Once again, Chu Xun transmitted another strand of divine sense. However, as soon as it got closer, it was absorbed again. The Firmament Chain was like a hungry little snake.

Chu Xun was a bit shocked. With such a thing inside one’s body, no matter how much True Energy and divine sense one had, it was still not enough for it. Emperor Ao was an Immortal Emperor. However, because of the suppression of Firmament Chain, his cultivation fell from the Immortal Emperor Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm. One could imagine how terrifying the Firmament Chain was.

Chu Xun retracted his divine sense and was about to withdraw his hand.

But suddenly, a scene that caught both Emperor Ao and him off guard happened.

Suddenly, a strand of Firmament Chain inside Emperor Ao’s body, which was as thin as a strand of hair, actually came over along his retreating divine sense.

Chu Xun was so shocked that his hair stood on end. He quickly withdrew his hand, but he was still late. The Firmament Chain had entered his body through his fingers.

Chu Xun panicked. Several streaks of Reincarnation Line immediately appeared inside his body and rushed towards the Firmament Chain, wishing to force it out.

But the Firmament Chain was not afraid of the Reincarnation Line at all. Every streak of Reincarnation Line was absorbed by the Firmament Chain instantly when they touched it.

The Firmament Chain was so fast that Chu Xun could not make any other response.

Inside Chu Xun’s body, a chain, that was shining with red light and as thin as a strand of hair, was swimming rapidly along with his limbs and bones...

Soon, Chu Xun’s situation was the same as Emperor Ao’s.

Not only Chu Xun, but also Emperor Ao was stunned. He did not expect such a thing to happen at all.

He grabbed Chu Xun’s wrist to examine him. After a long time, his expression changed.

Cold sweats broke out on Chu Xun’s forehead. He had also been locked by the Firmament Chain.

However, Chu Xun soon made a sound of surprise.

“What’s wrong?” Emperor Ao thought that there was a favorable turn.

Chu Xun looked at Emperor Ao and said, “Didn’t you say that the Firmament Chain would suppress and refine one’s cultivation? But I cannot feel it at all.”

Emperor Ao was slightly startled. He then said with a bitter smile, “You can try to mobilize your True Energy.”

Chu Xun tried to mobilize his True Energy, but something terrifying happened. His True Energy flowed out from his belly, and when it passed his meridians, the Firmament Chain shone brightly and absorbed a portion of it.

He was now in the late stage of Foundation Realm, but the strength he could show was only in the middle stage of Foundation Realm. The rest had been absorbed by the Firmament Chain.

Chu Xun was somewhat at a loss. Hua Qingwu was still lying in the ice coffin, waiting for him to save her. He could not afford to lose his cultivation.

“Chu Xun, calm down.”

“How can I calm down? Without cultivation, how can I save Little Wu?” Chu Xun roared angrily. This was the first time that he had behaved badly.

“No, I cannot be influenced by it...” Chu Xun muttered. At the same time, his True Energy surged crazily, his limbs and bones shone with red light, his internal organs resonated, and his heart beat faster.

“Break...” Chu Xun roared. He wanted to break the Firmament Chain.

After struggling for a few hours, Chu Xun was gasping now and was drenched in sweat, as if he had just come out of a pool. No matter how he struggled, he still could not free himself from the shackles of the Firmament Chain.

Looking at Chu Xun, who was a little crazy, Emperor Ao let out a long sigh. He was about to comfort him, but Chu Xun suddenly sat down cross-legged.

Chu Xun frantically absorbed the spiritual power from his surroundings to replenish the energy he had exhausted earlier.

In the past, he only needed two hours to recover his full strength, but now he needed four hours, because half of the spiritual power that was absorbed into his body had been absorbed by the Firmament Chain.

“Ah...” Chu Xun roared.

For three days, he tried to break free of the Firmament Chain over and over again.

But the result could be imagined.

Chu Xun was lying on the lawn. He had remained still for a few hours.

Gradually, he gave up. Emperor Ao had spent ten thousand years and tried various ways to break free from the shackles of the Firmament Chain, but failed in the end. His struggle these days was all in vain.

Seeing that Chu Xun had calmed down, Emperor Ao walked over and sat beside him. He glanced at him and said in disgust, “As far as I know, for hundreds of thousands of years, only three people have been locked by the Firmament Chain. How could a rookie like you be locked?”

Chu Xun sat up, glared at him, and said angrily, “What’s wrong with being a rookie? It seems that I want the damn Firmament Chain. Why don’t you take it away? If you like it, I will give it to you.”

Emperor Ao was speechless. Take it away? How could he take it away?

After being silent for a while, Emperor Ao said, “In fact, in some ways, it is also a kind of glory to be trapped by the Firmament Chain. You know, those who have been locked by the Firmament Chain are all geniuses. Of course, you are not included.”

The corners of Chu Xun’s mouth twitched when he heard that. He glanced at Emperor Ao and said unhappily, “I really cannot accept this honor. How about you take it away?”

“No, thank you! I have it,” Emperor Ao said in a deep voice. If possible, he would like to give it away.

The two of them fell into silence again, with different thoughts in their minds.

After a long time, Emperor Ao glanced at Chu Xun and said in a low voice, “Actually... there is a way to break the Firmament Chain.”

“Uh-huh.” Chu Xun answered indifferently.

Chu Xun did not believe Emperor Ao’s words. If there was really a solution, why had he been trapped for ten thousand years?

“Hey, what does the expression on your face mean?” Emperor Ao was quite dissatisfied with Chu Xun’s attitude.

This time, Chu Xun even did not respond.

Emperor Ao was unhappy. He flipped his hand and a colorful crystal appeared in his hand.

“Boy, look, what is this?”

Chu Xun glanced at him and said, “It is a stone.”

Emperor Ao was speechless and a little unpleasant. His tone suddenly became serious and he said, “Boy, do you still want to save your girlfriend?”

“Don’t talk about her.” Chu Xun suddenly growled.

Emperor Ao was stunned. Then he said in a low voice, “It is true that there is a way to break the Firmament Chain. It is up to you whether you want to try it or not.”

Chu Xun looked at him in disbelief and said, “Is there really a way?”

“I am not certain, because no one has tried it before,” said Emperor Ao.

“Why don’t you try it yourself?” Chu Xun asked.

“Don’t I want to try?” Emperor Ao despised Chu Xun and said in a low voice, “Don’t I want to stop living such a life? If there were no conditions, I would have already tried it. If there were nothing I can do with it, I would rather fail after having a try.”

Chu Xun was silent for a long time. Then, he suddenly raised his head and said, “I’m sorry!”

Emperor Ao shook his head. Looking at the crystal in his hand, he said, “I got it by chance. Inside it was an ancient technique, named Hong Meng Scripture.”

“By cultivating the Hong Meng Scripture, one will acquire Hong Meng Immortal Qi, which is neither the True Energy nor the Internal Breath... The Firmament Chain keeps absorbing and suppressing the True Energy, but it might not absorb or suppress Hong Meng Immortal Qi,” Emperor Ao said.
