"First question, in your eyes, what am I?"
The Ancient Mammoth stared at Ye Xuan with its sharp eyes as it asked at a moderate pace.
Hearing the words of the Ancient Mammoth, Ye Xuan couldn't help but fall into a long period of silence and contemplation.
What was this Ancient Mammoth in Ye Xuan's eyes?
A monster that had lived for hundreds of millions of years?
A man-eating ancient demon?
Or was it something else?
If Ye Xuan really had to describe it, then in his eyes, this Ancient Mammoth was a monster that could destroy the heavens and the earth.
But would such an answer satisfy the ancient mammoth?
Obviously not.
Then Ye Xuan would have to think about it from another angle.
Then why would this Ancient Mammoth ask such a question?
Or did it want to know something from this question?
Or what kind of answer did it want to hear?
"You can't even answer such a simple question?"
A trace of disappointment flashed through the Ancient Mammoth's eyes.
Ye Xuan took a deep breath and raised his head to look straight at the Ancient Mammoth. A low voice came out of his mouth, "All living things have fate, all living things have cause and effect, the rise and fall of fate, the cycle of karma! In the eyes of this junior, senior is not an ancient mammoth that has lived for hundreds of millions of years, but rather this junior's fate. "
"Fate?" "Where did that come from?"
A hint of interest appeared on the face of the Ancient Mammoth.
"The universe is vast, the sea of people is vast, and there are many cultivators. However, there are very few who can see senior's true body. Junior can see senior, senior can see junior, and you and I are fated to meet! "So in junior's opinion, senior, you are junior's fate, and also junior's good fortune."
Ye Xuan said in all seriousness.
"Your answer is quite unique. It's quite interesting. Just as you said, there are many cultivators in the vast universe, but there are very few who can truly see my true body. Even some domain lords can't … For you to be able to see me with your Nirvana Realm cultivation, this can indeed be considered a kind of fate! I'll accept your answer for now. But, where is the good fortune that you speak of? "
The Ancient Mammoth had lived for hundreds of millions of years and had witnessed countless deaths. His family and friends had gradually fallen in the long river of history, causing him to be incomparably lonely. Now that Ye Xuan was able to see him and chat with him like this, it caused the Ancient Mammoth to have a trace of interest.
"It is this junior's good fortune to be able to get to know Senior Mammoth!"
I bowed and cupped my fists in response.
"The second question, is death scary?" The ancient mammoth did not dwell on this question, but continued to ask.
Hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but sink into deep thought. His brows were tightly knitted together.
Why would the Ancient Mammoth ask this question?
What deep meaning does it have?
Does it want to die? Or is it testing me?
A moment later, Ye Xuan took a deep breath and replied in a low voice, "Senior Mammoth, death isn't scary. What's scary is wanting to die but not being able to!"
"You want to die but can't?"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the Mammoth Ancient Elephant's body couldn't help but tremble. A trace of sorrow and sadness flashed through its eyes, and its entire mood became somewhat depressed.
He had lived for hundreds of millions of years, experienced countless changes over the years, witnessed countless histories, and witnessed countless deaths, but he couldn't die even if he wanted to.
He had sought death countless times, but to no avail.
Ye Xuan's words of wanting to die but not being able to die undoubtedly spoke to the depths of his heart.
It really wanted to die, but it couldn't.
In this vast universe, there were very few people who could kill it.
"Why do you say that?" The Ancient Mammoth stared at Ye Xuan as it coldly asked.
"The most precious thing in the world is freedom. However, if a person can't even control their own life and death, then it's better to die than to live! When you want to die, you have already defeated death, so death is not scary! "But you can't die even if you want to. That's what's truly terrifying …"
"If junior's guess is correct, senior has lived for hundreds of millions of years. He has experienced countless years and seen all things in the world. After experiencing loneliness, he felt that life was extremely boring. He had once sought death, but he was unable to succeed …"
Ye Xuan's eyes flickered with wisdom as he slowly spoke.
His answer was completely based on the Ancient Mammoth's mentality, and based on its mentality and some of Ye Xuan's conjectures.
"Haha …" Interesting, interesting... You, a Nirvana Stage brat, actually dare to try and figure out my mind and guess my past. "The Ancient Mammoth laughed loudly.
As its laughter rang out, even more air was spat out from its trunk, setting off monstrous waves in the Heavenly River.
"One last question. If your answer satisfies me, I'll let you leave!"
Following which, the Ancient Mammoth's gaze descended onto Ye Xuan as it spoke in a low voice.
"Senior, please enlighten me."
Ye Xuan nodded, bowed, and cupped his fists as he asked for guidance.
His actions and words caused Hun Yuying and Ao Bingxue's hearts to be filled with doubt and confusion. However, they could guess that Ye Xuan was communicating with the giant elephant he was talking about.
"If you were to choose between the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale and those two women to die and be eaten by me, who would you choose?"
The Ancient Mammoth shook its trunk, causing the huge waves in the Heavenly River to roll. Its gaze swept back and forth between Ao Bingxue, Hun Yuying, and the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale as a large amount of saliva flowed out of its mouth.
It had lived for countless years and seen too many people who were afraid of death, abandoned their wives and children, and betrayed their friends and relatives. Now, this question was a test of Ye Xuan's character.
If this fellow's character was decent and he was a righteous person, he could let him go. Otherwise, he could only swallow him.
The words of the Ancient Mammoth caused Ye Xuan to fall into a long period of silence and contemplation.
If he had to choose between the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, Hun Yuying, and Ao Bingxue, then Ye Xuan would naturally choose to give up on them. After all, their value was far lower than the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's. This was the smartest choice, as well as the most rational choice.
However, Ye Xuan couldn't do that.
He wasn't a heartless person.
Although Ao Bingxue and Hun Yuying had their own reasons for following him, they were willing to abandon their comfortable lives in the Milky Way Region and risk their lives to accompany him to the Nine Heavens Star Domain. How could Ye Xuan abandon them?
"Puchi …"
Seeing that Ye Xuan was still thinking and didn't reply, a trace of disappointment flashed through the Ancient Mammoth's eyes. A boundless and terrifying aura spread out from his body and crushed towards Ye Xuan, Hun Yuying, and Ao Bingxue.
How could Ye Xuan, Hun Yuying, and Ao Bingxue withstand the aura of the Ancient Mammoth? Their faces paled as if they'd been struck by lightning, and they spat out a mouthful of black blood.
This Ancient Mammoth was simply too terrifying. It was so terrifying that it caused one's heart to palpitate, causing Ye Xuan to feel despair.
This fellow was even more terrifying and stronger than the Milky Way's Domain Lord, Huangfu Tian Cang.
"Tell me your answer!"
The Ancient Mammoth's voice resounded in Ye Xuan's ears. It was ear-splitting, causing him to spit out another mouthful of black blood.
This guy was ridiculously strong. Even if Ye Xuan used the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale and his second clone, he still wouldn't be a match for it.
"Senior, if you really want to eat them, then you'll have to step over my dead body first!"
Ye Xuan raised his head and stared at the enormous Ancient Mammoth. A trace of determination flashed through his eyes as he gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Is that so? "Then I'll grant your wish."
Ye Xuan's reply caused the Ancient Mammoth to raise its eyebrows. It swung its trunk fiercely towards Ye Xuan with the power to destroy the heavens and earth.
The Heavenly River that traversed the sky surged and its position changed accordingly.
Ye Xuan's expression was solemn as he looked at the Ancient Mammoth's trunk. He clenched his fists tightly and didn't dodge. Instead, he slowly closed his eyes. A trace of determination flashed across his face as he chose to quietly wait for death.
The Ancient Mammoth's attack was enough to explode a planet. Even if Ye Xuan tried to block it, it would be useless.
Ye Xuan was gambling.
He was betting that the Ancient Mammoth wouldn't kill him.
The question he had just asked was just a test.
Hun Yuying and Ao Bingxue only felt the danger of death quietly descend upon them. It was getting closer and closer to them, but they couldn't see anything. They could only circulate the Supreme Force within their bodies to defend themselves.
Just as the Ancient Mammoth's earth-shattering attack was about to land on Ye Xuan's body, Ye Xuan still didn't move an inch, causing the Ancient Mammoth to flick its trunk before withdrawing its attack.
The danger of death instantly dissipated. Ye Xuan only felt a cool breeze blow past them, causing them to feel refreshed.
"Brat, I didn't expect you to be such a loyal person. Your answer makes me very satisfied. You may leave!"
The Ancient Mammoth looked at Ye Xuan, who slowly opened his eyes, and lightly said.
"Thank you, senior!"
Ye Xuan let out a long sigh of relief. As if he'd been pardoned, he hurriedly cupped his fists and bid farewell.
With a thought, he controlled the Sea Cracking Mysterious Dragon Whale to fly into the distance.
"Wait …"
As if he had thought of something, the Ancient Mammoth spoke up.
The Sea Cracking Mysterious Dragon Whale's figure paused and stopped.
"What other advice does Senior have?"
Ye Xuan respectfully cupped his fists towards the Ancient Mammoth.
"It's fate that we meet. This sword is for you!"
The Ancient Mammoth opened its mouth and spat out a golden longsword that suddenly shot out from its mouth. It flew towards Ye Xuan and floated in front of him.
This was a divine sword around nine feet in length that had been forged from a dragon's spine and countless divine materials. The blade of the sword was extremely sharp, and there were terrifying crimson flames burning on its surface. The hilt of the sword was like a giant dragon with its wings spread open, giving it a unique sense of beauty. It was even more dazzling and dazzling than the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword.
"This sword is called Jun Ni. I took it from a Domain Lord a hundred thousand years ago. It is extremely powerful and is an ancient divine weapon!"
The ancient voice of the Ancient Mammoth resounded in Ye Xuan's ears, causing his expression to become especially solemn.
"Thank you, senior, for bestowing the sword!"
Ye Xuan took a deep breath and respectfully cupped his fists towards the Ancient Mammoth.
"Roar …"
"Peerless Divine Sword …"
"Then it might be a Realm Lord weapon or even a Domain Lord Divine Weapon …"
"Quick …" Over there, hurry up and snatch it! "
The appearance of Jun Ni Jian had attracted the attention of the cultivators that were fighting for treasures in the distant Heavenly River. When they saw Jun Ni Jian floating in front of Ye Xuan, their expressions were filled with shock and madness as excited words came out of their mouths.
As their voices sounded out, countless cultivators charged towards Ye Xuan and the others.
The Ancient Mammoth didn't pay any attention to all of this. Instead, it slowly closed its eyes and fell back into a deep sleep.
He was only responsible for bestowing the sword. As for whether or not Ye Xuan could protect the sword, it had nothing to do with him.
