Listening to this, everyone sucked in a cold breath without exception.
Only Yun Yang's gaze was brighter, his face flushed with excitement.
"In the end, he saw the person he loved the most, when she was nineteen years old. He took his lover and broke the shackles that this world had placed on her, transcending the rules and soared into the sky. Because, moreover, by using the rules of his Great Dao, his lover can also accompany him for eternal life, until the end of time! "
The skeletal man said softly, "Legend has it that he reversed the time of that world by hundreds of thousands of years!"
He lifted his head and looked at Dugu Chou. "If you can be like him and cultivate the rules of Dao to achieve this, you can see her again! But … "
The meaning behind his words was clear. Even though Dugu Chou was at the pinnacle of this world, he was a rare cultivator in the last thousand years, but he could not be compared to that legendary person. The saying that it was impossible to achieve was not a lie!
Feng Xiange sighed in melancholy. Lowering his head, he picked up a wine pot and gulped it down.
Ling Xiaozui was still seated calmly, an inexplicable agitation surging on his face. Sword intent flowed through him, almost bursting into the clouds.
Dugu Chou turned around abruptly to look at Ling Xiaozui, his eyes gleaming. Faintly, he enunciated each word clearly, "Ling Xiaozui … If there's a day where I can really get drunk with you, how about that?"
Ling Xiaozui's green robes fluttered despite the absence of wind as he replied softly, "As you wish!"
It was obvious that Feng Xiange was not the oldest among those present, but he was already the oldest among those who could hardly progress further in their cultivation journey. His lifespan was approaching its end as well.
Therefore, Feng Xiange could already be declared hopeless in advance if he wanted to go that far.
In spite of this, Dugu Chou and Ling Xiaozui were still at their pinnacle, and they still had a long way to go. If they could achieve another breakthrough, they could extend their lifespans considerably. It was not impossible even if it meant that they would have an endless lifespan again!
Therefore, despite knowing that the road ahead was treacherous and filled with thorns, the two of them were still full of ambition, aiming for the Dao.
The skeletal man looked at Dugu Chou and then at Ling Xiaozui before lowering his head and calculating silently with his fingers. After a while, he lifted his head to look at Yun Yang in surprise before lowering his head again to calculate in silence.
"Have you calculated anything?" asked Ling Xiaozui.
"So what if I have? No matter what I've calculated, it can't be said …" The skeletal man heaved a long sigh but he still said softly, "Both of you are fortunate to have met a benefactor who has allowed your path to continue. Dugu and Ling Xiaozui both have the chance to advance in their cultivation, but … you'll have to plan in how your future will be and how it will be. One wrong step and you will be gone forever."
Dugu Chou and Ling Xiaozui frowned and asked at the same time, "Please enlighten us."
The skeletal man said, "The journey of the Dao emphasizes primarily on fate. In everyone's life, there will be a benefactor who will appear to help and protect you. As long as you don't miss the opportunity and find this benefactor and pay the price that you should, there's hope for success. What's left is just hard work, not giving up, and working hard at all costs. Success will be achieved. However, if you can't find the benefactor or if you've found the wrong one, then the opportunity will be gone and you'll have nowhere to go."
"Opportunity? A benefactor's help … "
Dugu Chou and Ling Xiaozui were deep in thought.
The skeletal man turned to look at Yun Yang again, a gentle but terrifying smile on his skinny face as he said, "Young Brother Yun Yang, may I ask what request you have?"
Yun Yang thought about it carefully and said, "I only want to ask if I want someone to resurrect someone as well, is it the same?"
The skeletal man flashed a strange smile and said, "It's the same, but it's also different."
His words baffled all four of them. Dugu Chou, Ling Xiaozui, and Yun Yang asked at the same time, "How is it the same? How is it different? "
The skeletal man answered, "I can't say it, I can't say it. I'll understand it when the time comes."
The three of them had their own thoughts, and they seemed to be deep in thought.
Dugu Chou's gaze on Yun Yang was rather odd. He said, "Young Brother Yun is so young. Could it be that you have such regrets?"
Yun Yang rubbed his nose and said, "Even if there are no immediate worries, I'm afraid of having distant concerns. I don't have them now, but it's better to be prepared in advance just in case I get flustered. "
"That's not the truth. Forget it if you don't want to say it," Dugu Chou said with a roll of his eyes.
"Hahahaha!" Ling Xiaozui chortled.
Yun Yang chuckled as well and said, "Regarding this extremely arduous method of resurrection, I do have an idea. If this method is executed successfully, the first condition is to live forever. Only with an endless lifespan can there be hope of reaching the end of Dao. Naturally, there must be conditions. Take Senior Dugu and Big Brother Ling for example. Both of them have the foundation, especially Big Brother Ling. His body and mind are at their peak."
Dugu Chou stared at Yun Yang with an amused gaze and chuckled, saying, "What about your Big Brother Ling? Are you saying that my body and mind aren't at their peak? "
"I just think that when one always looks old, even if one insists that one's heart isn't old, no one will believe it. Then, one's heart will definitely age as well." Yun Yang said seriously, "If that's the case, Senior Dugu must first prove that his heart has changed at his peak. At the very least, he must restore his appearance to that of when he was young. Only then will it be passable."
Ling Xiaozui guffawed even louder.
Dugu Chou chuckled as well. As he laughed, his face and figure underwent a shocking transformation that was visible to the naked eye.
Yun Yang's eyes widened as he watched Dugu Chou slowly turn from an old man to a younger, more muscular, and taller man at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His grayish-white hair slowly turned black, completely black, pitch-black, and jet-black …
His face, which was full of wrinkles, also gradually smoothed out. His face became smooth and glossy …
His stooped body also slowly straightened up …
"Almost there! Almost there! "Ling Xiaozui stopped him quickly.
Dugu Chou smiled and stopped cultivating. His appearance had already turned into that of a middle-aged man in his thirties. He said with a smile, "How about this?"
The corners of Yun Yang's lips twitched.
I was just saying that, but you actually came out with a person who had a big change!
Do you have to be so amazing?
Not just a disguise, but even plastic surgery isn't as exaggerated as this!
"The way you look now is just right." Ling Xiaozui looked at him and said, "If you continue to look younger, I'm afraid you'll have countless romantic debts. A beauty's heart is easily hurt. How can I bear to do that …"
The group guffawed.
The skeleton-like man chortled as well. "Everyone has their own desires. There are distant goals, there are nearby goals as well. Why don't we talk about them and see if there's anything we can help each other with? It's a win-win situation. "
Dugu Chou said, "Actually, I didn't expect to meet Feng Xiange or Ling Xiaozui when I came out this time. Of course, I didn't expect to meet you either. I only wanted to come out and move my limbs, to fight, to train. To find a few opponents to practice with. Everything that happened so far is an unexpected gain, but it's fate. "
Yun Yang's eyes shone when he heard the man's words. He said respectfully, "Senior Dugu's wish is too easy to fulfill. I dare not say much about other things in Tiantang City, but there are too many experts here. As the host, this junior is willing to help senior find opponents."
Ling Xiaozui looked at him meaningfully, thinking to himself, "This child finally knows how to talk. I thought you were going to say," As long as you're by my side, I guarantee that you'll have endless battles to fight and endless experts to fight against … "
Actually, Yun Yang had intended to say that, but he swallowed the words when they were at the tip of his tongue, adding a few more layers of foreshadowing.
Of course, the true meaning was still the same!
"It's really a coincidence that I came here to join in the fun. I came here because I had nothing better to do." Ling Xiaozui looked at Yun Yang leisurely and said faintly, "Now that Dugu is here, it saves me a lot of trouble."
Yun Yang was touched by the gesture.
Yun Yang did not believe that Ling Xiaozui, with his carefree nature, had taken the initiative to step into this whirlpool during such a time of crisis. Yun Yang did not believe that he had come for Yun Yang.
Now, in Tiantang City, Ling Xiaozui was probably the only person who could be remembered by Ling Xiaozui.
"I'm here to look for help." The skeleton-like person said, "I'm also here to look for fighters. I've found three at once, but now I've found three. It's a great destiny, a great opportunity."
