Chapter 1736 - Waiting for the Next Great Era
“Precisely, many people called her Fairy Qing Yue.” The white-clothed man nodded.
This woman’s appearance was exceptional, absolutely stunning. A blue moon hung behind her, illuminating the world. She was like a goddess of the world’s creation, overlooking all under the sky.
Every frown and smile was beautiful.
Fairy Qing Yue was extremely gentle in appearance, pure and holy. This ought to have been her appearance and demeanor when she was alive, extremely calm even when facing the lord of a restricted region.
“She looks calm and peaceful, but she is extremely prideful.” The white-clothed man laughed. Then, his eyes became dim. “She has also died, falling in the last phase of Immortal Ancient.”
Shi Hao’s mind rose and fell, finding it hard to calm down. He really was shocked. He didn’t know anything about those people before, nor had he heard about them.
However, towards this final person, how could he not have heard about her? He had previously seen the seed she left behind, that green moon!
Fairy Qing Yue, the seed she passed down had been obtained by Qing Yi!
That flame and those symbols had long become one with Qing Yi.
It was to the extent where there were some who suspected that Fairy Qing Yue might have some type of connection with Qing Yi, perhaps even a reincarnation, difficult to say clearly.
Shi Hao was naturally shocked. The Fairy Qing Yue whose name shook Immortal Ancient Great Era was actually connected to this person?
“She is your disciple?” Shi Hao asked.
“She can be considered one, I reckon. I passed down a great method onto her.” The white-clothed male nodded.
Shi Hao was speechless. Just how strong was this person? He had seen eight individuals, all of them figures who could move heaven and earth. Through Fairy Qing Yue, he knew that the others were all truly exceptional.
This restricted region lord was too mysterious, definitely an unmatched figure. From his words, it seemed like he began taking on disciples from the start of Immortal Ancient Great Era.
Ao Gu, he came from Primal Chaos Clan, the first expert to have reached this place, born at the start of Immortal Ancient Great Era.
One could imagine just how long this restricted region lord had lived for!
“They are all dead.” The white-clothed man released a sigh. A breeze blew past, moving his white clothes, adding a bit of a bleak feeling to his appearance.
“I drank this tea, then…” Shi Hao carefully spoke.
It was because he didn’t want to die for no reason. Those who drank this tea all died, it truly was inauspicious.
“You are the tenth. I waited for an entire great era, today, I’ve finally met you.” The lord of this restricted region said.
Shi Hao felt a headache, saying, “I don’t want to follow them to the grave.”
The white-clothed man heard this, shaking his head and saying, “I won’t force you to take that path, to the extent where I was even opposed to them entering ahead of time. However, they still went too early, in the end all dying.”
Those individuals were in such a rush to head down this path, desired it so greatly, risking their lives to explore it.
“They knew that their own cultivation had reached the peak, unable to break through any further, which was why even though they knew they would fail, they still wanted to continue… sigh!” The white-clothed man actually spoke this with a sigh.
“I know that they respected me as their master, which is why they wished to fight in my place.” The white-clothed man said.
Shi Hao was confused. What was he trying to say? Did this lord of the restricted region have great enemies? Why didn’t he go himself?
The white-clothed male gently brushed out with his hand. Heaven fell and earth fissured, ghosts wept and deities howled, the universe torn apart. In the end, a quiet scene appeared.
“That place is…”
Shi Hao was shocked, finding it hard to calm down.
It was because he had previously went to that place, saw a portion of the truth.
Now, the white-clothed man separated the void, making that scene reappear.
This should only be a scene, a past memory, not them truly descending into this place.
A dam rested there from past until now, faintly discernible. Sounds of great waves sounded from behind the dam.
The sky was dusky, layers and layers of mist shrouding this place.
This place was extremely mysterious, nothing could be seen clearly.
However, Shi Hao still saw that on the dam, there was an individual. Its body carried blood, releasing immortal dao aura. This was a true immortal who died there.
As his eyes shifted, in the distant part of the dam, there were similarly many undying level corpses hung on the dam, dying on it.
Shi Hao had been here before!
Back then, when he left Immortal Domain with Sanzang and Shenming, looking for the path back, they had previously seen a Lightning Abyss. They passed through that path, eventually reaching this dam.
In that place, he found traces of Willow Deity. Willow Deity also left, entering the world behind the dam!
Apart from this, there was a trail of faint footprints, unknown what era it belonged to. It seemed like all those who came after followed these footprints.
The path the white-clothed man spoke of was precisely that place, behind the dam?!
Shi Hao couldn’t hide his shock. He never thought that this would be it!
Suddenly, his mind went taut, because he saw a creature in that scene.
His white clothes were purer than snow, untainted by a speck of dust, aloof and transcendent. He stood on the dam, in the end, he took a step out, heading inside.
It was the lord of the restricted region, his past self had entered inside!
Shi Hao was extremely shocked. Those who entered inside could still return alive? All of the scene pointed at the fact that this was a path of death, no one has ever brought back valuable information out from that place.
He had previously seen immortal dao remains there, one after another!
Hong!
Soon afterwards, he heard the crazy sounds behind the dam. It was as if great waves were surging, but also as if there was a great battle. Then, they gradually faded into the distance.
Day after day, year after year passed.
Time fragments flew about. As he watched those scenes, he didn’t know how much time passed. Was it a few months or was it many years?
Finally, one day, there was a blood-colored palm that appeared, clinging onto the dam. It was soaked in blood, the damage severe, shattering the peace of this scene.
Then, that hand exerted force, pulling upwards with great difficulty, wishing to climb over the dam. Soon afterwards, a head was finally revealed.
That person’s hair was disheveled, his face covered in blood, eyes dim, lacking radiance. He struggled with great difficulty, finally getting on the dam.
His entire body was red, covered in injuries. The space between his brows was cracked, body having countless bloody holes and other wounds, his condition terrifying.
His armor was tattered, scarlet and bloody.
His body was rocking from side to side, staggering, falling down several times, and then getting back up. He fled towards the distance, finally leaving the dam.
Shi Hao was shocked. He recognized that figure, this was the lord of this restricted region.
Originally, his white clothes were purer than snow, yet now, only tattered armor could be seen, long soaked red from blood. He had already lost his past exceptional bearing.
The scene rippled, in the end completely disappearing!
Shi Hao was shocked. He snapped back to reality, giving the restricted region lord a look. Even someone as powerful as him, after going to the dam, almost died, only returning with great difficulty?
Then, the disciples he taught all went there as well, most of them buried there?
“Those who drank this tea, most of them died by the dam.” The white-clothed male said.
“What exactly is over there?” Shi Hao asked. He really was extremely shocked. Even someone as powerful as the restricted region lord almost died, barely able to come back alive.
“Sigh, back then, they all wanted to know as well. However, one fell after the other, all of them dying in the end.” The white-clothed man said with a sigh.
Then, he looked towards Shi Hao and said, “Do you still want to go? Do you dare head there?”
If it was any other place, Shi Hao might have some hesitation, really needing to think things over. However, towards this place, he had no hesitation. He immediately nodded, directly stating that he dared to go, and he had to go.
It was because even if it wasn’t for any other reason, just because Willow Deity left for the world behind the dam, it was already enough for him to set the resolution to make this choice. He had to go there sooner or later.
This was, on the premise that he got stronger, accumulated enough strength. Then, he would march into the dam!
“I have to go there, I dare go there. However, senior, you should teach me heavenly arts and precious technique, teach me everything you taught those people from before!”
Shi Hao’s eyes shone, speaking like this. He longed greatly for those ancient techniques. Immortal Slaughter Technique, Dragon Wrestling Heavenly Art, all of these things were powerful, one knew it just from their names.
“Immortal Ancient has ended. I have now waited an entire great era for you to appear, one of us. However, this time, I won’t pass down any great methods again.” The white-clothed male shook his head.
“Why?”
Shi Hao began to panic. From the first generation’s Ao Gu until the last one’s Fairy Qing Yue, which one of them didn’t inherit a heavenly art or great method from this white-clothed male, obtain tremendous benefits.
Every one of them studied different things, one could see just how heaven-defying this restricted region lord was. He grasped too many secret methods, a research god!
“I previously taught them exceptional great methods, having them become stronger, but in the end, none of them walked their own path, only following my past shadow.”
“This type of path, even if they caught up to me, able to match me, so what? It is nothing more than another me. What I want is someone who can transcend beyond.” The white-clothed man said.
“Then what do you wish to do?” Shi Hao asked, his heart starting to pound intensely.
“After waiting for an entire great era, I’ve finally met a suitable person. I will guide you on your own path, forge a true unmatched existence!” The white-clothed man said.
“How are you going to do this?” Shi Hao found it hard to calm down. He knew that a tremendous opportunity might be right before his eyes.
Of course, all of it might also end up becoming nothing.
In reality, he really wanted to learn those great methods, and then after having a good grasp of many different techniques, he would then create his own method, walk his own path. This way, it still wouldn’t be too late!
“Take this piece of jade, you can leave for now. Once you have separated yourself from worldly affairs, come look for me.” The white-clothed man’s voice became extremely gentle again, carrying an alluring feeling.
Multicolored light flickered. A piece of old-fashioned jade appeared in Shi Hao’s hands.
“Go.” The white-clothed man gestured with his hands.
Shi Hao bowed, saying goodbye.
However, when he raised his head, he couldn’t help but be stunned, in complete disbelief.
Around here, where were there any thatched cottages and grass? Everything was completely barren, the entire Cosmos Lake disappearing, the distant medicinal fields and others all dried up.
There were only a few ruined mountains, all of them deathly still as well.
This continued until Shi Hao raised his head and concentrated his gaze, seeing a skull, snow-white like jade, only then was he shaken.
Right now, there was no jade piece in Shi Hao’s hands, yet that jade piece really did exist, right in front of that skull. Apart from that, there was a teapot that was damaged, as well as half a teacup, incredibly old-fashioned.
Shi Hao was stunned!
What kind of place was this? Who was he talking to not too long ago?
Soon afterwards, he saw two other skulls, extremely dull, already damaged, behind the snow-white skull.
“The lord of the restricted region, as well as his pair of dao children…” Shi Hao felt his own voice shaking!
A desolate scene!
The past taboo existence, a glorious world-shocking individual, how did he die? Was he actually buried one day like this?
