“It’s still incomplete.”At the lowest level of the Dark Emperor Tomb, an elder sat cross-legged beside the coffin. He had a smile on his face. Even though he exuded the aura of old age, his smile was the same as ever. It was the same warmth and love that Wang Baole had felt in his dark dreams, it was the same warmth and love.
His gaze landed on Wang Baole’s eyes and melded into his heart. The many hardships that Wang Baole had suffered over the years seemed to have been resolved a little. All that was left was calmness and peace.
“Master…”Wang Baole looked at the figure in the depths of the Dark Emperor’s tomb. A smile gradually appeared on his face. He didn’t ask why it was incomplete. Instead, he stood up and walked towards the passageway formed by the huge crack in the black seawater below, he walked forward step by step.
His figure walked into the Black Sea, into the crack, and into the next layer that was torn apart by the resonance of his Dao of Enlightenment. This layer was originally a cause and effect layer. However, it wasn’t tainted by Wang Baole’s aura at all and allowed him to walk past it, he entered another layer.
Just like that, he got closer and closer to his master. He arrived at the bottom of the tomb of the Dark Emperor, before the coffin, and before his master.
He didn’t look at the coffin, nor did he pay attention to the man and woman who had appeared on the upper level when he had walked all the way here. He didn’t pay any attention to the two figures either. The way they looked at him was filled with shock and disbelief, it was also filled with wariness, mixed feelings, and unwillingness.
None of this was important, because Wang baole only had his master in his eyes.
He gradually approached, and about ten feet in front of his smiling and kind master, Wang Baole stopped in his tracks. He lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt in front of his master. He kowtowed to his master with respect, gratitude, and peace.
He did everything meticulously. Even though it was slow, he was very serious. Very serious.
Ming Kunzi’s smile remained the same, but his eyes were filled with emotion, admiration, and even more… Heartache.
“I regret it a little. Perhaps I shouldn’t have led you into the dark dream back then.”Ming Kunzi sighed softly. He looked at the disciple before him. He saw Wang Baole’s suffering, his fatigue, and his confusion, he saw what he had said.
“Master, I don’t regret it.”Wang Baole raised his head and smiled.
Ming Kunzi shook his head. His face was filled with more wrinkles, and his aura was older. His gaze was gentler and more filled with heartache. He wanted to raise his hand to caress Wang Baole’s head, but he didn’t raise it, instead, he shifted his gaze away from Wang Baole and looked outside the Dark Emperor’s tomb. Outside the Dark River, in the void… the figure of his other disciple.
When he looked at the figure, his gaze was no longer gentle. Instead, it was filled with regret, mixed emotions, sadness, and… helplessness. The figure, in silence, bent down and bowed deeply.
In the end, Ming Kunzi retracted his gaze. There was a hint of regret in his expression. After a long while, he looked back at Wang Baole and murmured softly.
“Are you here to retrieve the remains of the Dark Emperor for your senior brother?”
“The remains of the dark emperor are of great use to senior brother. I… Wish to retrieve them for him,”Wang Baole said softly as he looked at his master.
Ming Kunzi smiled. He gave Wang Baole a deep look and nodded.
“Go and retrieve them.”
“Thank you, Master!”Wang Baole stood up and bowed once more. His trip had gone smoothly. He had gained a new understanding of his Dao and was about to retrieve the remains of the dark emperor for his senior brother. He had also met his master, who he had thought had fallen.
This made him feel even more at ease. His original intention of not staying in the dark sect wavered. Even though the Dao was different, if his master and senior brother were here.., then… Wang Baole felt that he should stay.
With that thought in mind, Wang Baole walked towards the coffin. At that moment, the man and woman, who were about to die, were looking at him.
At that moment, Chen Qingzi’s gaze was also fixed on him in the nine serenities void above him.
At that moment, the dark sect cultivators who had been freed due to the incident in the Dark Emperor’s tomb also noticed and looked at him!
Wang Baole, who was being watched by all eyes, did not notice that as he approached, his master was looking at him with nostalgia and… farewell.
Ming Kunzi didn’t tell Wang Baole that Chen Qingzi had come before Wang Baole. He wanted to take away the dark emperor’s remains, but he didn’t agree and rejected him outright.
That was why Wang Baole had come. He didn’t want to talk about it, and he didn’t want to see any conflict between Wang Baole and Chen Qingzi. The two of them were his disciples. One had been accepted into reality and had followed him since he was a child. In the end, he had betrayed him, he had lived in pain until he had fused with the Heavenly Dao and walked to the other extreme.
The other had been accepted into his sect in the dark dream, allowing him to experience everything in the dream. He had walked to this day, found his own dao, and remained unchanged.
This… is good. Ming Kunzi muttered to himself. He closed his eyes. He didn’t want his youngest disciple to see him disappear.
However, Wang Baole’s experience had allowed his senses to exceed Ming Kunzi’s. Just as Wang Baole was about to approach the coffin, Wang Baole suddenly stopped in his tracks. A look of confusion appeared in his eyes, his instincts told him that… something wasn’t right!
However, he didn’t know what wasn’t right, so he turned to look at his master.
There didn’t seem to be any difference at first glance. However, after Wang Baole fell silent, a dark light suddenly flashed in his eyes. The Shadows of his previous life appeared one after another, and the aura from the intrinsic scabbard spread out, gathering into his eyes, his eyes shone brightly, but… everything was as usual.
“Aren’t you going?”Sensing Wang Baole’s gaze, Ming Kunzi opened his eyes and asked kindly.
Wang Baole stopped in his tracks. He was less than ten feet away from the coffin, but his instincts made him hesitate. Even though everything he saw was normal, he still looked at his master’s face and asked.
“Master, do you… have something you haven’t told me? If I take the Dark Emperor’s remains, will it… affect you in any way?”
Ming Kunzi laughed.
“You Child, you don’t have a suspicious personality in the dark dream. Why are you in such a state? Don’t think too much. I’m not the Dark Emperor. What kind of influence can I have? Hurry up and take it away.”
Wang Baole was silent for a moment before he suddenly spoke.
“Master, you said that my dao isn’t complete yet. I don’t know how it can be complete.”
“If you take it away, I’ll tell you. Go.”Ming Kunzi laughed and closed his eyes.
Wang baole frowned. He looked at his master, then at the Dark Emperor’s coffin. He paused for a few breaths, then suddenly raised his hand and waved it over his storage bag. Instantly, a small bottle appeared in his hand!
It was the wishing bottle!
“I wish for the eye that can see through the truth now!”
Ming Kunzi opened his eyes the moment Wang Baole spoke. At the same time, the gaze from above turned grave. That was because… at that moment, the wishing bottle released a stream of heat. It merged with Wang Baole’s body and gathered in his eyes, black Lightning appeared in his eyes at that moment.
The moment the Lightning appeared, everything before Wang Baole’s eyes… changed!
It was still the tomb of the dark emperor, the coffin, and the master. However… the figure of the master wasn’t real. It was illusory… it was a soul body!
Three strands of soul threads extended from the soul body and connected to the coffin. There… were three soul lamps that Wang Baole couldn’t see before!
If the soul lamps were extinguished, the library could be opened!
If the soul lamps were extinguished, the universe would die!
