Upon hearing that, Hokkaidōjin's heart stirred as he nodded repeatedly. "Good lad, you've cultivated to this stage as well. Very good, very good. Hurry and get up. "
Tears streamed down Dao Lord Scarlet Star's clothes but he merely shook his head and knelt down.
Hokkaidōjin felt an ominous feeling surge in his heart. Taking a few deep breaths, he asked, "Is your master, Heaven's Will … alright?"
Heaven's Will Dao Being was Hokkaidōjin's eldest disciple and the only one among his seven disciples who managed to cultivate the Scarlet Flame Heart Sutra.
After Hokkaidōjin went missing, it was all thanks to Heaven's Will Dao Being that the Scarlet Flame Heart Sutra was passed down.
Upon hearing Hokkaidōjin's question, Dao Lord Scarlet Star's expression was sorrowful as he sobbed, "Master is already dead!"
"Ah!"
Although Hokkaidōjin was prepared, he still exclaimed softly with an unresolvable pain in his eyes.
After a long silence, Hokkaidōjin could not help but ask again, "Your Uncle-Masters, Shi Yu, Chang Hai, Luo Ling and the others …"
Hokkaidōjin could not continue asking.
Dao Lord Scarlet Star lowered his head and pursed his lips tightly. His shoulders trembled as he sobbed softly.
"The Uncle-Masters did not manage to enter the Dharma Characteristic realm and their lifespans were exhausted. They have already passed away."
Finally, Dao Lord Scarlet Star said it with difficulty.
"Sigh."
When he heard that, Su Zimo sighed internally.
Suddenly, he felt a sense of pity towards Hokkaidōjin.
Time was heartless.
Without entering the Dharma Characteristic realm, one's lifespan was less than 5,000 years.
Who would have thought that by the time Hokkaidōjin returned, all seven of his disciples had already passed away?
The saddest thing about 5,000 years was that things had changed but people had changed.
Hokkaidōjin remained silent and closed his eyes with a sorrowful expression, as though he had aged significantly in an instant.
The figures and appearances of his seven disciples flashed through his mind.
The sounds of the seven disciples laughing and playing with each other seemed to still be ringing in his ears.
When he left, these disciples were not very old. The oldest was only a thousand years old.
The youngest, Shi Yu, was just a little over a hundred years old. In his eyes, he was like a child.
When he returned, he could no longer see these people.
Su Zimo stood quietly to the side, not knowing how to comfort Hokkaidōjin.
This was the cruel and merciless world of cultivation!
In addition to the battles between cultivators, races, righteous and evil, immortals and devils, there was also the constant threat of time hanging behind their necks.
On the path of cultivation, if one were to stop moving forward, this saber would slash down!
No one will be spared!
Suddenly!
Hokkaidōjin seemed to have thought of something. He opened his eyes, and there seemed to be two balls of fire burning in his eyes!
"Something's wrong!"
Hokkaidōjin shook his head. "It's understandable that Luo Ling, Shi Yu and the others did not manage to cultivate the Scarlet Flame Heart Sutra and could not advance to the Dharma Characteristic realm."
"However, your master, Heavenly Heart, had clearly cultivated the Scarlet Flame Heart Sutra. Furthermore, when I left, he was already at the perfected Void Reversion realm and could advance to the Dharma Characteristic realm at any moment. How could he have passed away?!"
At that point, Hokkaidōjin suddenly recalled that Just Now, Dao Lord Scarlet Star said that his master had died and not passed away!
Generally speaking, when a cultivator died, it was not a good ending!
"What happened to Heavenly Heart?" Hokkaidōjin asked slowly.
Dao Lord Scarlet Star had already stopped crying. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth with hatred in his eyes. "It's the Hall Master of Hellfire Hall!"
"Who is he?"
Hokkaidōjin asked, "I heard that he's a traitor of Hundred Refinement Sect?"
Dao Lord Scarlet Star nodded and raised his head to look at Hokkaidōjin with a conflicted expression. "His Dao title is Purple Flame. He was, was …"
"He was my senior brother," Hokkaidōjin continued calmly.
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat.
To think that the Hall Master of Hellfire Hall was an expert of Hokkaidōjin's generation and was even Hokkaidōjin's senior brother!
Hokkaidōjin asked, "What happened?"
"About 4,000 years ago, the Hall Master of Hellfire Hall betrayed the sect and established his own faction to create Hellfire Hall."
Dao Lord Scarlet Star said, "He was extremely ambitious. From the moment he established Hellfire Hall, he wanted to replace Hundred Refinement Sect."
"What is the Grand Elder of the sect doing? He's allowing Hellfire Hall to exist to this day? "Hokkaidōjin frowned.
Dao Lord Scarlet Star said bitterly, "It's said that Hellfire Hall has the backing of a super sect. Even the sect doesn't dare to act rashly."
Hokkaidōjin said indifferently, "His achievements in weapon refinement are not inferior to mine and he has the support of a super sect. I'm sure his development will be extremely fast."
"That's right."
Dao Lord Scarlet Star said, "When the elders of the sect saw that Hellfire Hall was already established and their rise was inevitable, they could only give up. They only hoped that the two sects would coexist peacefully."
"However, the tree wants peace but the wind won't stop. Not only does Hellfire Hall want to replace Hundred Refinement Sect, they also want the Scarlet Flame Heart Sutra! "
The flames in Hokkaidōjin's eyes burned even brighter.
Dao Lord Scarlet Star continued, "Master had long entered the Dharma Characteristic realm. However, he was schemed against by the Hall Master of Hellfire Hall and was captured alive."
"He painstakingly tortured and whipped Master's Primordial Spirit, trying to force the Red Flame Heart Sutra out of him. However, Master refused to say a single word even until his death. Thus, Master's Primordial Spirit was torn apart and his Dao vanished!"
Su Zimo was enraged when he heard that.
Such a method was simply too vicious.
No matter what, the Hall Master of Hellfire Hall was once a disciple of Hundred Refinement Sect. However, he was so vicious to his former sect mates that even gods and ghosts could not tolerate him!
"Senior Brother Purple Flame, when I recover my physical body, I'll definitely pay a visit to retrieve your soul and refine it in front of my disciple's grave for three days and three nights!"
The flames in Hokkaidōjin's eyes intensified, as though they had turned into two gigantic fireballs that wanted to incinerate all living beings in the world with torrential killing intent!
"Grandmaster, don't be rash."
Dao Lord Scarlet Star said hurriedly, "The Hall Master of Hellfire Hall is no longer the same as before. He has long entered the Conjoint Body realm. Grandmaster, don't take the risk!"
Above the Dharma Characteristic realm was the Conjoint Body realm and could be considered a Mighty Figure!
They were omnipotent!
In the past 5,000 years, Hokkaidōjin had struggled between life and death – it was already a blessing that he was able to survive.
However, the cultivation of the Hall Master of Hellfire Hall did not fall behind. Instead, he improved day by day and was already a Mighty Figure!
The gap between the two of them had widened.
Hokkaidōjin was fearless and merely sneered, "Conjoint Body Mighty Figure? Very good. If he's still the Dharma Daojun, it'll be boring for me to kill him! "
His words were extremely bold and Su Zimo's eyelids twitched when he heard that.
Dao Lord Scarlet Star could not help but ask, "Grandmaster, where have you been all these years? Your body … "
"It's a long story,"
Hokkaidōjin said, "My body has been destroyed. The reason why I've returned is to reforge it!"
"Don't worry, Grandmaster,"
Dao Lord Scarlet Star clearly had some understanding of the ancient technique of forging bones and said hurriedly, "The sect has many top-notch materials for forging bones. If you need anything else, I'll definitely do my best to get it for you, Grandmaster!"
"Grandmaster, you had better hurry back to the sect with me,"
Dao Lord Scarlet Star continued, "If those old fogeys in the sect know that you're still alive, they'll probably faint from laughter."
