Chapter 370 - The Old Man In The Abandoned Cemetery
Jiu Shen waved his right hand.
Om!
A door-like rift opened in front of Jiu Shen. He was planning to directly teleport where the peak stage Origin God Realm expert was secluded. Although it was disrespectful to do this, Jiu Shen couldn't care less. After all, he was planning to give the blind old man an opportunity to reach greater heights. However, this was if the old man would agree to his terms.
"Let's go." Jiu Shen told the three ladies as he looked at them.
The three women nodded their heads as they jumped inside the pitch-black space door.
The scene in front of them suddenly changed and they were teleported into a dilapidated cemetery with dozens of aged tombstones scattered around. The atmosphere in this place was quiet and lonely. It was the kind of place that no one would dare to live alone.
A breeze of cold wind struck Jiu Shen and the ladies, but their faces remained unchanged. For people at their level, this kind of place was not enough to scare them. Only mortals with weaker willpower would feel afraid in this gloomy cemetery.
Jiu Shen scanned the surroundings with his peripheral vision. His golden eyes flickered with divine glow and a wave of spiritual power burned within those beautiful gold orbs.
"He's here." Jiu Shen muttered as he slowly walked. The three ladies silently followed him as they curiously glanced at the desolate tombs. Although the tombstones were quite old, all of them looked tidy as if they were regularly cleaned by someone.
"The Origin God Realm expert that you mentioned is living in such a place?" Theia asked as she sneakily held Jiu Shen's hand.
Jiu Shen's expressionless face turned a shade warmer as he stared at Theia. He could feel the warmth of her hand and he could not help but grasp it tightly. "Indeed. He only has a few hundred years left to live based on his weak aura. As to why he lives in this cemetery, I think this place holds a significant memory to him."
Theia nodded her head at his answer and agreed with it silently. A few hundred years was indeed a small amount of time for experts at their level. In their eyes, a year may just pass by in a blink of an eye. Some experts even meditate for more than a hundred years...
Not far from them, an old man was sweeping a tombstone with a broom. His back was hunched and he seemed to be struggling to stand up as he busied himself. Suddenly, he sensed a disturbance ahead of him. "Hm?"
"This power... Void God Realm..." The old man's body trembled as he muttered those words. There was a hint of sadness and longing in his tone.
Void God Realm.
It was the realm that he and his buddies wanted to reach for so many years. They trained like crazy as they protected the Profound Dragon Continent, but even after thousands of years, they all failed. All his friends died and he was the only one left struggling to achieve their dream.
Without knowing it, he had already dropped the broom he was holding. After being shocked for a moment, the old man sighed and shook his head. "Who could this person be? To reach the Void God Realm in this world is very difficult and only those with heaven blessed talents could reach that level of cultivation. I just hope that he isn't an enemy or else, no one in the Profound Dragon Continent will be his opponent..."
The old man didn't wait for long. He saw four individuals dressed in luxurious robes. They seemed to have come from the same background based on their clothing. He was also shocked when he discovered the cultivation levels of the three ladies. All of them were at the Nascent God Realm! And based on their vigorous vitality, they were among the younger generation! However, what made him even more surprised was the man leading them. He looked like a young man in his early twenties and when he tried to inspect the young man's vitality and cultivation level, the old man felt a sharp stinging pain in his head.
The old man placed his hands behind his back and stared at the incoming group using his 'blind eyes'.
"Who knew that I would receive such distinguished young guests in my twilight years!" The old man smiled warmly like a kind elder.
Ice, Theia, and Long Meili greeted the elder with cupped fists. Even Ice who was usually uncultured acted well-mannered this time. Of course, they had their reasons for doing this. The old man was an expert at the peak stage of the Origin God Realm. Cultivators at that level are worthy of their respect.
Jiu Shen stared at the old man with a stern look. "You faked your blindness, but you can't fool me, brat. Why are you even hiding those eyes? You have the Fire Lord Crimson Eyes, a rarity that could make one a rarely seen genius! What you are doing is the same as forsaking your talent... So foolish..."
"Fire Lord Crimson Eyes? Do you mean my Devil Eyes? What talent are saying? My eyes only brought me chaos! Who are you to say such things you... you..." The old man flared up when he heard Jiu Shen's words. He had even forgotten the fact that this young man might be a Void God Realm Expert.
"Chaos?" Jiu Shen laughed lightly as he shook his head. He then continued. "That's just because you don't know how to properly control your power. Well, you could not be blamed. This world has no knowledge about your Fire Lord Crimson Eyes. However, what if I tell you that I have a way to help you control it?"
The old man's furious face slowly changed into surprise when he heard his words. "That's impossible! Even those ancient beings of the ancient era might not be able to do it. You-"
"Ancient era?" Jiu Shen almost burst into laughter when he heard that. Even Theia who knew about Jiu Shen chuckled at the side.
This world and even the stars near this planet weren't even born yet when Jiu Shen was already roaming around the Primordial God Realm....
