Chapter 1813: Bo Xun Ancient Sage

"This is Yuan Dang Mountain!"

After their discussion, Wu Chen and Zhang Xuan bid farewell to Liu Yang and hurried towards the location of Ancient Sage Bo Xun. Fearing discovery by Emperor Ling and others, they dared not use their spatial tearing abilities. However, the place was not far from the imperial city, and they arrived in less than an hour.

What was called a mountain was more like an abyss—a dark, bottomless chasm that emanated a chilling, 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 has come to visit!"

His voice, condensed into a thin thread, traveled into the dark depths, its reach unknown.

After he called out three times, black clouds seemed to churn beneath the abyss. Immediately, streams of colorful light shot up from below, like the aurora.

The moment these lights appeared, both men felt their flight become unstable. Their bodies swayed uncontrollably, and their zhenqi became erratic, threatening to cause them to fall from the sky at any moment.

"It's primordial magnetic force!" Zhang Xuan's eyebrows rose.

This force was similar to magnetism, but it had a disruptive effect on a cultivator's zhenqi, making it impossible to control.

"Hmph!"

With a raised eyebrow, Wu Chen dropped his disguise, reverting to his Ethereal Spirit Tribe form. His pure killing zhenqi surged, finally stabilizing him. However, his injuries had not fully healed, and using such power made his face turn pale again.

Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist, and the Demonic Black Saber flew out, positioning itself beneath his feet and stabilizing him. This primordial magnetic force could disrupt zhenqi, but since the Demonic Black Saber was merely a weapon and had no zhenqi, it remained unaffected.

The colorful lights below churned again, like surging waves. Then, a black-robed figure appeared, standing atop the lights and slowly rising.

"Ancient Sage Bo Xun!" Emperor Chen Yong cupped his fist.

Zhang Xuan looked over. The figure before them was entirely cloaked in a black robe, with only two blood-red eyes visible, giving off an eerie impression. His aura was dense and powerful, making it impossible to discern his exact strength, but he was certainly more formidable than Ancient Sage Bu Yu. He was even comparable to Zhang Hongtian. It was no wonder Wu Chen held him in such high regard; he was likely a top-tier expert even within the Blood Reincarnation realm.

"I have long ceased to meddle in worldly affairs. Your personal visit is futile!" Ancient Sage Bo Xun said emotionlessly, his hands hidden in the darkness.

"You can see the current situation, Brother Bo Xun. I hope you can lend me your assistance!" Emperor Chen Yong bowed deeply. He was severely wounded, his life force constantly draining. Any cultivator could see this, so there was no need for him to explain further.

"Everyone will eventually fall, be it emperors or common folk... If seeing me once before your death is enough, then I am satisfied. If there's nothing else, please excuse me." Ancient Sage Bo Xun's expression was indifferent. The colorful lights beneath him continued to shimmer, and his figure seemed about to recede into the darkness once more, disappearing from sight.

"I was ambushed, my life hanging by a thread, and I only seek to personally avenge myself against my enemies..." Emperor Chen Yong was filled with anxiety, not expecting such indifference from this individual. "I'm asking for your help, not paying a deathbed visit! Our friendship isn't that deep, is it?"

"I am no longer involved in matters of power; I do not wish to be entangled in these affairs..." Shaking his head, Ancient Sage Bo Xun did not bother with further words. With a wave of his hand, the colorful lights enveloped the entire abyss, and his figure vanished into the darkness.

"Please wait!"

Just as he was about to completely vanish, Zhang Xuan frowned and pointed a finger forward. The colorful lights in the air were immediately drawn into his hand. The primordial magnetic force that had previously made their zhenqi difficult to circulate now shifted direction, surging towards the black figure.

*Whoosh!*

Under the pressure of this force, Ancient Sage Bo Xun, who had just disappeared, stumbled out of the darkness, as if the surrounding colorful lights were repelling him.

"Who are you... How can you control primordial magnetic force?" Ancient Sage Bo Xun's eyebrows shot up in disbelief. He had spent no less than three thousand years trying to comprehend the primordial magnetic force of this abyss. Only now did he have some understanding, enabling him to manipulate this power to unleash effects that even other Ancient Sages of his level would dread. Yet, the person before him had, with a single move, caused the colorful lights to repel him... How was that possible?

"I am not controlling it; rather, I am identifying its flaws and allowing my zhenqi to integrate with the primordial magnetic force, creating a resonance with the power here!" With a slight smile, Zhang Xuan pointed his finger, and the Demonic Black Saber beneath his feet was immediately withdrawn into his ring. He remained suspended in mid-air, seemingly unaffected by the surrounding primordial magnetic force.

The Heavenly Dao zhenqi, capable of transforming even the Ethereal Spirit Tribe's killing zhenqi, could change into and merge with primordial magnetic force without much difficulty. When the other party had used it earlier, he had used the Library of Heaven's Path to analyze it, and now he was already capable of using it himself.

"Identifying flaws? Integrating zhenqi with primordial magnetic force?" Ancient Sage Bo Xun frowned.

"Precisely!" Responding, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath and abruptly raised both palms.

*Whoosh!*

Countless colorful lights illuminated the abyss, and a vast aurora enveloped him, making him appear like a giant made of pure light. By changing the attributes of his Heavenly Dao zhenqi to resonate with the primordial magnetic force, the abyss, to him, felt like a warm source of power, allowing him to unleash strength far beyond his own cultivation level.

"You truly can control primordial magnetic force..." Feeling that his own controlled power was less refined than the young man's, Ancient Sage Bo Xun's face was filled with shock. He had studied for three millennia, yet he 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 primordial magnetic force!" Seeing that the ancient sage understood his abilities, Zhang Xuan looked at him.

"This..." Ancient Sage Bo Xun hesitated. He had remained here for over three thousand years solely for the primordial magnetic force. If he could truly control it as easily as the young man before him, he wouldn't have to endure such hardship. Furthermore, his purpose in comprehending the primordial magnetic force was to find a path suited for him to break through to higher realms. If he could control it as effortlessly as Zhang Xuan, his strength would undoubtedly advance by leaps and bounds, potentially even allowing him to surpass his current Blood Reincarnation realm!

"Who injured you?" Although somewhat tempted, Ancient Sage Bo Xun did not rush to make a decision. Instead, he turned to Emperor Chen Yong. As the first and foremost emperor of the Spirit Tribe, to be injured to such an extent meant that while he considered himself strong, he knew his opponents were certainly not simple. If there was no chance of victory, he would never put himself in danger merely to obtain a cultivation method for resonating with primordial magnetic force.

"It was Emperor Ling and Emperor Xing! They colluded with the human race and ambushed me!" Emperor Chen Yong stated.

"It was them?" Upon hearing it was the two emperors, Ancient Sage Bo Xun's face turned grim. "For this matter, I am afraid I cannot help you. You should seek assistance elsewhere!"
