Old Sou had left very peacefully. The footprints on his face were still as clear as ever, and there was a faint smile on his lips. It was as if he was lying on his bed surrounded by his loved ones.
No one knew if Old Sou had chosen Su Bai purely to help Su Bai advance, or if he had wanted to take revenge on Sun Hai for using him as a stepping stone to advance. Perhaps Old Sou had simply wanted to take revenge on Su Bai for kicking him in the face.
Just like how Su Bai didn't know why his Ninth Brother hadn't opened the bronze chest in front of him when he had gone to look for him, following Old Sou's death, no one knew what Old Sou had been thinking.
Dead people were the best at keeping secrets. They could often drive the living crazy.
The reverse flow of time disappeared. Following Old Sou's death, this node began to truly collapse. This region started to become very mottled. Furthermore, it was clear that this time, it wasn't as fake as it had been when he had played tricks on Sun Hai. This time, it was real.
The node …
Was really starting to collapse.
Su Bai's advancement had also stopped because of this. However, everyone knew that this kind of thing couldn't be stopped.
He had already succeeded 90%. Only 10% was left. Only one last step was left.
Who would be willing to fail now? Who would be willing to fail?
However, Su Bai really sensed that the support and reverse flow around him had stopped. He was now standing on the last step. Once he stepped on it, he would be able to see the world. However, following Old Sou's death, he was no longer simply standing still. His entire vigor was showing signs of weakening. He was like a boat sailing against the current. He couldn't continue moving forward, so he could only fall!
90% was very high, but he hadn't succeeded yet. He hadn't taken that step yet. Even if he was standing at a very high position, he had already sold everything he had. Everything was blocked. It was like a person who went to a foreign casino to sign a contract. Unless he won, everything would be gone.
Su Bai had a pained expression on his face. He was forcibly holding on to his Essence, Qi, and spirit, but there was no other way. At this moment, he had already used everything he could, including 90%. If Old Sou hadn't died, with his help, Su Bai would still have had a chance to forcefully leap over the last 10%. However, Old Sou was already dead. Without external help, the result of Su Bai's forceful holding on was that the speed at which his aura was falling was slightly slower. In at most half a minute, 90% would slowly fall to 80%.
"I can't accept this!"
Su Bai gnashed his teeth and said. He really couldn't accept this! He really couldn't accept this!
Suddenly, in Su Bai's mind, the picture of him being thrown by the man and the woman to be washed under the rusty faucet in the bathroom of the hospital when he was born emerged in his mind. The picture of him standing there in a daze with a piece of talisman paper stuck on his body in the family photo emerged. The picture of the little fellow missing when he returned home emerged.
No matter how much unwillingness, how much unwillingness, and how much anger he had, at this time, it all seemed a little pale and powerless. The saying that man could conquer nature was the highest level of chicken soup for the soul. In fact, the more daring a man was, the more successful he would be. It had long been proved to be a joke.
Even if Su Bai had tried his best, at this time, he still had to face the ending of failure on the verge of success. Sun Hai was deceived and courted death, while Su Bai himself was really at the end of his rope.
"Da Bai, hold on, there's still a chance!"
Fatso suddenly shouted at this time.
Su Bai looked at Fatso and saw that Fatso was making a gesture. Obviously, he was planning to trigger the Dharma Formation, but what was the use of the Dharma Formation now? To ease his pain? To make it less painful when he died?
"Motherf * cker, this time I help you, it can be considered that all the previous friendship is written off. In the past, I stole the little fellow and went to hand in the task myself, and cheated you once. After that, I almost cheated you and Monk Zeng to die in the suburbs of Shanghai. This time, at least to you, I, Master Fatty, will pay it off.
Being with you, Master Fatty doesn't even have a sip of soup. From today onwards, you are your Lord Listener. Master Fatty will find a place where there is no one to try my luck. The next time I meet you, don't show any mercy, and don't care about feelings. "
As Fatso shouted, he looked at Old Sou, who was sitting there quietly and dead.
"Five Elements Formation, alchemy repair!"
Fatso opened his hands, and three red halos surrounded the dead Old Sou. Then, flames rose and began to burn Old Sou's body.
Everything here was fake. This was what Old Sou had said to Su Bai. Because everything here was fake, when Old Sou said to Su Bai, "Blessed by Heaven, Live Forever" and threw the Imperial Jade Seal to Su Bai, Su Bai couldn't see the Imperial Jade Seal, only a handkerchief. When he realized who the girl and the man and woman were, Su Bai turned around, but he couldn't find any trace of them.
Because this was a fake area, it couldn't even be called a space. Here, it was just a dream, a mistake, a misunderstanding, an accident!
But here, at least one thing was real, and that was Gold. There was a piece of Gold here, which had been lucky enough to make up for the Ancestral Dragon Jade Seal. Now, the Ancestral Dragon Jade Seal had disappeared, but that piece of Gold was still here.
Old Sou's body slowly vaporized and dissipated, disappearing without a trace. However, as Old Sou's wheelchair melted, some golden luster gradually appeared.
This piece of golden word..,
Was actually hiding in his wheelchair!
Fatso controlled the formation while looking at the constantly changing scene in front of him. When he really saw the golden metal luster appear, his face also revealed a surprised expression.
Really..,
It was really here!
That piece of Gold, the piece of Gold that had once made up for the Ancestral Dragon Jade Seal, was actually really here!
Suddenly, Fatso seemed to realize something. When he was setting up the formation, Old Sou had been looking at him calmly. Previously, Fatso was still thinking that this guy could not see what kind of formation he was setting up. But now that he thought about it, Fatso understood that he had actually made a huge mistake.
Since this piece of Gold could support this mysterious node, then, how could his understanding of formations be shallow and one-sided?
When he had maliciously set up the formation to smelt the dead souls and monsters beside him, how could he not see his intentions?
However, he still calmly looked at her as she slowly finished setting up the array. He didn't say anything, didn't do anything, just calmly looked at her.
Then..,
He died so calmly. He had said that the difficulty of Su Bai's advancement was lower than his. He had also said that he wanted to take revenge on Sun Hai and make Sun Hai a wedding dress for others.
So..,
How could he die so easily and calmly at the last moment when Su Bai had already completed the 90% completion?
Even for the old people in the real world, many of them had to force themselves to finish what they were most eager to do in one go before they truly passed away!
For him to leave so peacefully, could it be that he had already seen through something? Or perhaps, he had already prepared for something?
As Fatso's formation continued to be strengthened, the wheelchair completely melted. A piece of Gold the size of a pinky slowly floated up. It emitted a gentle light. Although it was not the imperial jade seal that the Ancestral Dragon had used to smash the Black Dragon, it had at least been a part of it. Its life was destined to be sad.
Nuwa had refined the stone to mend the sky. The remaining stone could still have a chance to walk in the mortal world and achieve the joys and sorrows of "Dream of the Red Chamber". However, this piece of Gold could not catch up to the era when the Ancestral Dragon was all-powerful. Although it had become a part of the imperial jade seal, its existence was equivalent to a stain on the imperial jade seal. Later, as he was born with intelligence and learned to think, he might have become more and more suspicious of his own existence. He also had a lot of entanglements about the meaning of his existence.
Go back to where you came from.
Back then, he was born as a supplement for the imperial jade seal. Then today..,
I'll end my life by becoming a supplement once again!
He would go back to where he came from.
This was the funeral and end that the Old Sou had chosen for himself!
Gold was very easy to refine. This was because when the Old Sou died, he had directly wiped away all the spiritual energy in his body. Now, this piece of Gold was the purest energy source. It was free to be plucked!
Su Bai opened his palm and grabbed. The Gold turned into a golden liquid that floated over and directly fused into Su Bai's body. For a moment, Su Bai's skin began to glow, and his aura instantly rose!
"Boom!"
A muffled sound came from the void. Su Bai's entire body was suddenly enlightened!
He had succeeded.
Advanced Listener!
Fatso waved his hands and the array formation ended. He looked at the area that had been burned black in a daze. He suddenly felt that even if the Old Sou did not choose to help him advance and chose to help Su Bai advance, the old man had actually given him a lot. The peace of death and the final arrangement for his own ending. Wasn't this completely in line with karma?
Why was there only fear and panic and a dead end when karma was with him?
The scene of the Old Sou's face slightly tilting to the side as he died kept appearing in Fatso's mind. Suddenly, Fatso suddenly felt that he seemed to have understood something.
Su Bai's floating feet slowly landed on the ground. He clenched his fists and felt the completely different power surging in his body.
This..,
Was the power of a Advanced Listener?
..
At the same time, in a Chinese class in a middle school in China, an old Chinese teacher was asking the students in his class to read a piece of classical Chinese:
"In the winter of the first year of Qin Ziying, on Duke Pei's Liu Bang's army, Ying knelt down and offered the imperial seal to the left of Xianyang Road. Qin died. The imperial seal belonged to Liu Han. "At the end of the Western Han dynasty, Wang Mang usurped power. When Ying was young, the imperial seal was hidden in the Empress Dowager of Changle Palace. Wang Mang sent his brother, Wang Shun, to retrieve it. The Empress Dowager was furious and threw the imperial seal to the ground, breaking a corner. Wang Mang ordered the craftsmen to fill it with gold. "
