Chapter 1328: Waiting Through Six Lives
Chapter 1328: Waiting Through Six Lives
The Wanggu Heavenly Dao was reshaped. From now on, there would be one Ancient Dao and ninety-nine Dao to continue the path of cultivation.
To Wanggu, this was a merit.
To the Myriad Races, this was hope.
The path of cultivation was finally continued!
The obsession of the Ancient Spirit Emperor would light up a lamp in the darkness before the 10,000 races with his status as a immortal.
While dispelling the fog, one could walk in the direction of the lamp and reach the other side!
"There are still some things to deal with."
In the sky, Xu Qing looked at the ground and muttered as he took a step forward.
Zhou Zhengli and the others followed behind him.
Just like that, time passed. Three days passed.
In these three days, Xu Qing went to many places.
His figure descended one by one to the powerful clans where the gods were.
There were also places that seemed to have traces of the power of the outside world. Xu Qing also walked into them.
In the end, almost all the chess pieces of the outside world were pulled out one by one.
After doing this, the fusion of immortal and god had reached its limit and could not continue. At dusk on the third day, he separated in front of the Ghost Emperor Mountain.
His god body was separated and fused with the Godhead.
To a certain extent, his god body could already be regarded as a clone of the Eminent Desolation.
He was formed from the flesh and blood of the Eminent Desolation, and now he also had the Godhead of the Eminent Desolation.
Although he was still connected to Xu Qing, there were too many uncertainties.
It was also because of this that Xu Qing did not let him return to the underground palace.
Instead, he sank into the depths of the Wanggu Heavenly Dao.
Then, he returned to his immortal body and stood in front of the Ghost Emperor Mountain in the dim yellow sky, staring at the vast mountain.
Behind him was Zhou Zhengli and the others who were silently following him.
As for in front of himā¦ there was also a person on the Ghost Emperor Mountain.
That person was sitting cross-legged on the top of the Ghost Emperor Mountain. His clothes were a little dirty, and his expression was haggard. He was closing his eyes and comprehending.
"Third Senior Brother."
Xu Qing said softly.
The figure sitting cross-legged on the Ghost Emperor Mountain was the third disciple of the Seventh Master, Xu Qing's Third Senior Brother!
Back then, during the Wanggu Catastrophe, the Seventh Master went into seclusion, Xu Qing went out, Er Niu went to Brilliant Heaven, Second Senior Sister stayed behind to guard the Seventh Blood Eye, and Third Brotherā¦ he came to the Ghost Emperor Mountain.
... and sat cross-legged on the mountain.
Just like that, he sat there for close to half of the sixty-year cycle.
He wanted to return, he wanted to use the power of his previous life to protect the people he cared for in this world.
Because he was the reincarnation of the Ghost Emperor.
As for the relationship between him and the Ghost Emperor Mountainā¦ it was obvious that the Seventh Master knew about it. Moreover, in Xu Qing's past memories, there were many traces of it.
Back then, when the Ghost Emperor passed away in the Emperor Welcoming Prefecture, his three souls transformed into mountains and his seven spirits became fiendish spirits.
His spiritual power spread out and nourished all living beings in the Emperor State.
However, it was clear that his life essence was still there, and had dissipated along with his spirit. Perhaps he had reincarnated, or perhaps some external force had taken action, causing him to be reborn in Emperor Welcoming Prefecture after many years had passed.
He had experienced many hardships and hatred when he was young. In the end, he was sent to the Seven Blood Eyes by a servant.
Take the Seventh Master as your teacher.
He became the third disciple of the Seventh Master.
However, it was clear that there was an invisible gap between the previous life and the current life. It was not easy to return, to integrate, and to take back the power of the previous life.
The three souls did not return, and the seven spirits did not move.
Original Lifeā¦ was just Original Life.
Therefore, Elder Third, who had been sitting on the Ghost Emperor Mountain for nearly thirty years, did not succeed.
Perhaps, if Xu Qing did not return, the Ninth Star Ring's Black Pagoda behind Elder Third would have sent help during the Ancient Immortal Catastrophe, allowing him to successfully integrate his previous life.
He would have become a bigger chess piece for the Black Pagoda in Wanggu.
However, at that time, he might no longer be himself.
However, Xu Qing's return and drawing of the line had ended the Ancient Immortal Catastrophe. At the same time, the Ninth Star Ring's Black Pagoda was the only one among the four God Venerables who chose to sever all karma.
Therefore, Elder Thirdā¦ was free.
At this moment, as Xu Qing's voice echoed, Elder Third, who was sitting cross-legged on the Ghost Emperor Mountain, slowly opened his eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Fourth Junior Brotherā¦"
Xu Qing's relationship with Elder Third was much weaker than that of his Second Senior Sister and Eldest Senior Brother. They had very little interaction with each other. The one who left the deepest impression in his memory was the Mermaid Clan's princess from the Seven Blood Eyes.
At that time, the princess, while being hunted down, escaped onto the Third Brotherās magic boatāwhere he, with a soft smile, snapped her neck.
That scene had once given Xu Qing a very strong impact.
However, it was also because of that that he became wary of Elder Third and rarely interacted with him after that.
Thinking back to the past and looking at the present, Xu Qing sighed in his heart.
Therefore, he took a step forward and appeared on the Ghost Emperor Mountain next to Elder Third's Spiritual Boat.
Looking at Elder Third's haggard expression, Xu Qing spoke softly.
"Elder Third, do you need me to help you return to your previous life?"
Elder Third was silent with a hint of confusion in his eyes. After a while, he shook his head.
"Junior Fourth, do you want to hear my story?"
Xu Qing nodded.
Elder Third raised his hand and took out a bottle of old wine. After taking a sip, he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"I was born in the Emperor Welcoming Prefectureā¦ After I was born, I didn't know my relationship with the Ghost Emperor."
"However, there was a voice that kept calling out to meā¦"
"The direction it pointed to was this mountain."
"As I grew, the call became stronger and stronger. It also made me feel as ifā¦ this mountain was me."
"When Master went into seclusion, the call became even more frequent, so I came here."
"You went missing, and so did Eldest Senior Brother. I could guess that you went to find a way to help Master, and I also wanted toā¦"
"So, I wanted to fuse with this mountain, and during the processā¦ I saw a Black Pagoda."
"That tower told me that it was not the Ghost Emperor Mountain that was calling me, but him. He was calling. He wanted my soul, my body, my everything, and he promised to protect the Seven Blood Pupils."
"I agreed."
Elder Third muttered.
"Actually, I also didn't know if there was a previous life between me and the Ghost Emperor Mountainā¦"
"However, I wanted to try, so with the help of the Black Pagoda, I started to fuse with the Ghost Emperor Mountain. The process was long, but in the end, I vaguely saw you. Junior Fourth, I saw you drawing a line in the sky."
"I also saw that mysterious Black Pagoda that cut off the connection with me and gave me freedomā¦"
"Butā¦"
Elder Third raised his head and looked at Xu Qing.
"The moment the connection was cut off, I realized that the voice that had appeared when I was young and called out to me for half my lifeā¦ was actually still there!"
"This voice did not come from the Black Pagoda at all. Even as I sit here, I can be very sure that it did not come from the Ghost Emperor Mountainā¦ Before that, the Black Pagoda had lied to me."
"That voiceā¦ came from that directionā¦"
Elder Third raised his hand and pointed to the north.
"There is a person there who has been waiting for meā¦ for many yearsā¦"
Xu Qing followed Elder Third's finger and looked to the north. At this moment, waves rose in his heart.
That was the direction of the Absolute Beginning Pillar. That wasā¦ where the ghost cave was!
"You asked me if I wanted to fuse with the Ghost Emperor, but I don't want to. Junior Fourth, I want to go there. I want to find the source of the callā¦ to see the person who called me."
Elder Third looked at Xu Qing.
"Okay."
Xu Qing raised his hand and waved. Immediately, the world distorted, and the void blurred. In the next momentā¦ he and Elder Third's figures had disappeared from the Ghost Emperor Mountain.
When they reappeared, they were on the ice plains north of the Emperor State.
They stood in the sky.
As the cold wind whistled, the Absolute Beginning Pillar stood in the wind and snow, shocking everyone.
With the appearance of Xu Qing and Elder Third, the huge Pillar suddenly trembled, and the originally dim runes on it lit up one by one in an instant.
In the end, the entire Absolute Beginning Pillar shone with a brilliant light.
However, Third Senior Brother did not pay attention to the change in the Absolute Beginning Void Pillar. At that moment, his gaze was focused on the ground without any distraction.
To be more precise, he was looking atā¦ the place where the Absolute Beginning Pillar connected to the ground!
Which was the entrance to the ghost cave!
"All these years, the voice that has been calling out to me is actually hereā¦"
Elder Third's voice was a little strange. As he muttered, he instinctively raised his hand and pressed it on the Absolute Beginning Pillar.
As he raised his right hand, perhaps it was the continuous integration with the Ghost Emperor Mountain over the past thirty years, or perhaps it was the absence of the external influence of the Divine Black Pagoda, the connection between him and the Absolute Beginning Void Pillar became even closer and was no longer distorted.
Thus, the Absolute Beginning Pillar immediately rumbled.
Amidst the shock of the cultivators in the surrounding tents, the Absolute Beginning Pillar actually slowly rose with this huge sound.
During this process, the ice plain trembled!
The Absolute Beginning Pillar rose higher and higher until it was pulled out from the ground!
It danced in the air!
A violent wind swept across the earth, howling in all directions. Countless tents were lifted up, and the cultivators of the various clans who were cultivating here all retreated in shock.
The expressions of some of the sword holders here changed as they flew into the air to see what was going on.
On the ground, as the Absolute Beginning Pillar rose into the air, a huge and dark hole suddenly appeared!
That hole wasā¦ the ghost cave!
Waves of cold air spread out from inside, and there was also the sound of a woman singing that echoed in the ghost cave.
"The past life did not come, but the past life is always here. Cut the dust of the love paintingā¦"
"Wandering in this life, the rest of life is buried. Who waits in the cycle of reincarnationā¦"
The voice was sad and beautiful, as if crying and complaining.
It was as if it contained the countless regrets and reluctance of the previous life. The confusion of this life and the loneliness of the rest of life were all mixed into this melody.
Every word seemed to be ground out of endless yearning and loneliness. It swirled in the wind and snow, dragging out a long ending note, as if it could not be cut.
The messy strands of love weaved a beautiful and melancholy picture between heaven and earth.
It made people feel as if they could see the various things that they missed in the previous life. The love that was sealed in the dust of time could only helplessly turn into dust and dissipate in the wind of time, leaving behind a faint sadness that lingered in their hearts.
Ups and downsā¦
Outside the dream of three lives, old memories are hard to change, leaving only lingering thoughts in the wind.
Four lives of sorrow, obsession with success and failure, tears by the side of the bridge of helplessness.
Five lives in vain, fate is hard to meet again, alone in the cold cave to express my feelings.
Six lives of loneliness and sorrow, old dreams turned into haze, scattered but still difficult to findā¦
