Chapter Seventy-Two: Chu Ge
temporarily counteract it. As for Zhang Linchuan, he actually used his talent to research a way to break through it.What's even more terrifying is that this person, to fight against Him, even created...Though the sky outside was still dark, Tai Yin had already passed.
The Xiongshi old house under the night, like a lurking old beast. Not making a sound, and retracting its only fangs.

The marks of time are visible everywhere here, of course, in a place like Yingcheng, the Xiang family ancestral home isn't among the oldest.
When General Xianglong of Wing Nation was alive, the Wing Nation Duke's Mansion was naturally the most central place in the Xiang family.
When Xianglong went to his death, he designated Xiang Bei as his successor and heir to the future of the Xiang clan.
The core power of the entire Xiang clan gradually returned to Patriarch Xiang, awaiting transfer to the grown-up Xiangbei.
Xiang Bei, who was highly valued by Xiang Longxiang and lived directly in the Duke of Yiguo's mansion before, now moved out and moved into the Xiang family's old house.
Of course, he couldn't possibly drive out the heir of Xianglong Cavalry from the Duke Yiwu's mansion. But staying at the Duke Yiwu's mansion any longer would inevitably lead to friction...
As for Tai Yin's hasty departure from Chu, Xiang Bei could probably guess the reasons.
There are internal tensions within the Tai clan, and there is probably also a degree of suspicion towards Jiang Wang.
Within the borders of Chu, he could protect Tai Yin from harm.
Once outside the borders of Chu, it is unknown what will happen.
Tai Yin's entire skillset lay in formations. During their journey to the Shan Hai Realm, all of the formation discs he carried had been used up. Now, facing Jiang Wang, he truly lacked any means of self-preservation.
Just...
"What are you going to do about the Yuán Pò Dān he gave you"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In the silent chamber, a voice suddenly arose. It was a voice aged, imbued with the wisdom of time.
But when I looked around, there was no one else to be seen.
Item Bei seemed to be accustomed to the sound, merely saying in a soft voice, "What can we do about it"
“You know what I'm talking about!” The voice seemed somewhat annoyed: “You are at a crucial time now, and the position of heir to the Xiongs is not secure. These three parts of the soul essence that you can’t make up for could very likely ruin you!”
"Is that so" Xiangbei slowly wiped the blade of his halberd with a white velvet cloth, his voice still as calm as ever: "If I were so easily destroyed, it would mean I was meant to be destroyed."
The voice of age grew stronger: "Don't you think you are very righteous Did the martial way teach you this kind of Robin Hood righteousness Sacrificing yourself for others, is that what you consider a virtue But have you ever thought about all those who sacrificed for you along the way! Do you even know what you're doing, Xiang Bei!"
Xiangbei quietly draped the velvet cover over the halberd, and in his seldom-seen calm, he said: "I knew it before, then didn't know...now I know again."
“You... what do you mean” The aged voice questioned in confusion.
"No matter what, Tai Yin ultimately came to help me. In the Shan Hai realm, his priority is my needs. His affairs are my responsibility."
"You think Tai Yin is such a good thing Do you think he doesn't know your current predicament But look at how easily he takes things, how effortlessly he walks! I've seen many like him. You think he'll be grateful He just needs you, needs your resources. You think of him as a friend, he sees you as a fat sheep. How pathetic!"
“Who Tai Yin is, I have a good idea. He's not a perfect friend, but he's not as terrible as you say. Besides, I only do what I should, and what does it have to do with his character” Xiang Bei said calmly. “And this Yuanpo Dan, I didn't want to take it in the first place.”
"What does that mean" The old voice grew even more confused.
Xiangbei closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly: "Just now, I was sitting here alone. Suddenly, I realized...if I don't make some changes, I will never be able to defeat Jiang Qingyang."
“How is that possible How could you think like this This is just a temporary victory!” The aged voice said, “The path of cultivation is long, your future holds infinite possibilities!”
"No, I should have known that the moment he seized the glaive and charged with me toward Taiyin. To hope for a future, to fall into alliances and ambushes... I...I could never, ever be his match."
“Why was I so angry at that moment”
Items from the North speak with sorrow.
>
“I am furious with myself, for becoming so strange.”
"I am furious at myself for having thrown away the chance to fight him head-on."
"You shouldn't think that way," the aged voice said, "Xiangbei, war is unpredictable, water has no fixed form..."
"One who can win by adapting to the enemy's changes is called divine. Therefore, the Five Elements are ever-changing in victory, the Four Seasons are ever-changing in position, days have short and long durations, and months have life and death." Xiang Bei casually continued, then said, "I understand military strategy, and I understand the principles. But I cannot deceive myself like this."
“Although I've already admitted defeat in my heart, although I'm already afraid to face it... why am I still deceiving myself”
"I've lied enough!"
Xiang Bei took a deep breath and slowly said, "With soul power far surpassing that of cultivators at the same level, I am invincible. I also believe I can contend for the top spot in the world."
Having lost to Jiang Wang at the Viewing River Platform, I believe my defeat stemmed from carelessness.
After another defeat at the Huangliang stage, I acknowledged the gap. However, I still felt there was a chance after the divine guidance because I have celestial eyebrows and brilliant eyes, born with such splendor...
In the realm of mountains and seas, I even hope that he will be stripped of 30% of his primordial soul essence, so as to spare me from the torment of pursuit. Thus, I can hold absolute dominance over him on the soul level.

But what about me
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
These days, I've found myself asking myself more than once —
But what about me"
Item North gently tapped the Gaiseiki, then raised his right hand, facing himself. His index and middle fingers slowly spread apart, while the rest of his fingers curled inwards.

Move your right hand upward.

In a voice so calm it was almost eerie, he said, "I am too reliant on my eyes. They made me who I am, and they nearly destroyed me."
"What do I, Xiangbei, rely on to surpass all others"
That aged voice suddenly panicked: "No! What are you doing! Stop! Don't be foolish!"
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
Meanwhile, Xiang Bei just continued to ask —
“Was it my eyes”
"Born with heterochromia, so am I, Bei Ge of the North, unparalleled in the world"
"What if we took away these eyes"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Who am I...what am I"
"Let me...find an answer."
>
As Xiangbei said this, his lips twitched into a half-smile, half-grimace. With both fingers of his right hand, he thrust them without hesitation into his own eyes!
>
His face crumpled instantly, his lips moving unconsciously but without a sound... pain had robbed him of voice!
Fresh blood trailed down along two unfeeling fingers.
He lay on the ground, curled up, for a long time before he finally struggled out of that pain and into some semblance of rationality.
“You're mad... you're absolutely mad! You foolish, insane fool, you've destroyed your future with your own hands.” The aged voice lamented, “You’ve ruined everything!”
"Heh heh..."
Item Bei curled up on the ground, gasping for breath with difficulty. He stretched out his trembling hand and fumbled around for a while before finally grasping the shaft of the Ge Shi Ji.
When he grasped the world-shaking spear, he seemed to find much relief.
Even if the road ahead is dark, his future is still in his hands.
“Now I don’t have any special eyes, and my soul power is quite mediocre…”
He said, "But I found myself."
“I haven't seen myself this clearly in a long time.”
"Let me be destroyed!"
"Or. Let me forge the light anew."ut should he be killedLet me know if you'd like to translate anything else!Ultimately, Jiang Wang did not take any action.unnecessary.If Lin Youxie asks any questions, he will be killed by Li. Whether...
