The middle-aged man brought his wife to the temple. This was their first time there. Under the guidance of the Divine Emissaries in the temple, they arrived at the place where Wei Huo was meditating.
It was a barren land. Wei Huo sat there quietly with his legs crossed. No one disturbed him. The Divine Emissaries had built a high wall to prevent ordinary people from entering. Even they were not allowed to enter this place without permission.
The middle-aged man and his wife did not seem like ordinary people. They arrived in front of Wei Huo under the lead of the temple's abbot. Then, they retreated, leaving only the three of them behind.
The couple observed Wei Huo carefully. Wei Huo had not changed at all. Everything seemed like it had happened yesterday. At that moment, Wei Huo opened his eyes. His eyes were as black as ink and as deep as the night. He saw the couple and realized that the middle-aged man looked very similar to Zhang Li.
The middle-aged man said, "Ancestor, I'm Zhang Yi. My grandfather, Zhang Li, has passed away. Now, I'm the new leader of the Skyfall Race."
From a certain point of view, Zhang Yi was not wrong to call Wei Huo an ancestor. After all, Wei Huo had lived for too long. Now, the land people and the Atlanteans had started marrying each other.
Wei Huo realized that there were some wounds on Zhang Yi's arms and neck. It seemed like there had been internal strife in the race over the years.
Wei Huo asked, "How many years has it been?"
Zhang Yi said respectfully, "Ancestor, 5,000 years have passed."
Time had indeed passed too quickly. Unknowingly, 5,000 years had passed. Wei Huo did not sigh too much. He just asked, "Are you here to inherit your grandfather's promise?"
Zhang Yi said, "Yes, I will inherit my grandfather's promise. I will cultivate to the peak of the Legendary stage and fight you fairly."
Wei Huo was silent. The same promise had been passed down to three generations. He had not expected that so much time had passed.
Wei Huo closed his eyes and said, "I'll wait."
Zhang Yi and his wife descended the mountain. His wife asked, "One, are you really confident about breaking through to the peak of the Legendary stage? You're only at the middle stage of the Legendary stage. "
Zhang Yi said, "No."
His wife became worried. "You only got the position of the patriarch after a series of battles. Many people are not convinced by you. If you can't take back the Divine Weapon …"
Zhang Yixiao said, "Although I'm not confident that I can enter the peak of the Legendary stage, I'm confident that I can kill my ancestor. Although he's at the peak of the Legendary stage, he only has a lifespan of 7,000 years at most. 5,000 years ago, he was already over 2,000 years old. Although he looks young now, he's actually very old, right? He's about to die too … "
Zhang Yi left with his wife. They were confident that they could outlive Wei Huo. However, they did not know that Wei Huo had obtained a lifespan of 3,000 years because of the bug. That was why he could live to 10,000 years old.
In ancient times, people often said to the emperor, "Long live, long live, long live."
However, no Emperor could live for 10,000 years. Only Gods could live for 10,000 years, and Wei Huo was still one step away from becoming a God.
Zhang Yi left confidently, but he returned 1,000 years later. He asked Wei Huo in exasperation, "Why aren't you dead yet? How long can you live? "
Wei Huo told him, "Break through to the peak of the Legendary stage and defeat me. Apart from that, you have no other choice!"
Zhang Yi replied angrily, "I don't believe you. The peak of the Legendary stage only has a lifespan of 7,000 years. You can't break this rule!"
Wei Huo closed his eyes. "Let's go back."
Zhang Yi left. Before he left, he destroyed the door of the temple. No one dared stop him. However, he regretted it after returning to the clan, as many members of the Skyfall Race had started believing in Wei Huo. They believed that Wei Huo was immortal and had become a God.
500 years later, Zhang Yi came again. This time, he was not as angry. He went to the temple and found Wei Huo. He then complained to him, "My wife passed away. Her cultivation level is only at the Epic stage. I tried everything I could, but I couldn't extend her lifespan. Why aren't you dead yet?" Wei Huo frowned and said, "Why are you still alive?
Wei Huo did not answer. His body seemed to have been stopped by time. Nothing could affect him.
Zhang Yi said, "I'm only at the middle stage of the Legendary stage. I still have 1,200 years to live. From today onwards, I will come here once every 100 years. I want to witness your death with my own eyes."
After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he left. The others also came once every hundred years. In the beginning, he was a strong middle-aged man, but gradually, his hair turned white, and his body became stooped. By the 1,100th year, he had become a white-haired old man. His face was full of wrinkles, his eyesight was not good, and his legs and feet were not nimble.
However, Wei Huo still looked young. His appearance had not changed at all.
Zhang Yi smiled and told Wei Huo, "Old fart, you're not dead yet. I'm about to die."
Wei Huo closed his eyes and studied death carefully. He ignored Zhang Yi.
In the 1,200th year, Zhang Yi was carried in front of Wei Huo by a group of guards. At that moment, Zhang Yi said, "Have you broken through to the Mythical stage? You should be 9,000 years old, right? "
Wei Huo opened his eyes. His soul's lifespan was indeed over 9,000 years old. There were still 1,000 years left before the end of his lifespan. Over the past 7,000 years, he had been sitting there and observing the death of the planet and everything in the world. However, he had yet to break through to the Mythical stage.
Just as Zhang Li's big brother had said, the peak of the Legendary stage was just a matter of mortals ascending the mountain. However, the Mythical stage was a matter of mortals ascending the heavens. The Mythical stage was indeed not easy to reach.
Zhang Yi said, "I'm going to die. This challenge will end here. Don't let this promise continue binding the next Patriarch."
Wei Huo still did not speak. Zhang Yi added, "Bury me here after I die. I want to see when this guy will die with my own eyes."
After saying that, Zhang Yi asked Wei Huo, "Do you mind? Ancestor? "
Wei Huo smiled. "Go ahead."
Zhang Yi was really dead. A few days later, a grave appeared on the barren land. The grave was facing Wei Huo.
A few days later, a young Patriarch climbed the mountain and said, "Ancestor, my name is Zhang Wu. Patriarch Zhang Yi is my grandfather. I'm here to tell you that I want to reach the peak of the Legendary stage and challenge you!"
Wei Huo smiled. "I'll wait."
The promise was eventually passed down.
However, decades later, another grave appeared in the barren land facing Wei Huo. Over the years, there had been chaos in the Skyfall Race. The Patriarch had been killed, and a new Patriarch had succeeded him.
However, it seemed like a tradition. Every new Patriarch would come and explain to Wei Huo that they would reach the peak of the Legendary stage and challenge Wei Huo. In the end, there was only a new grave 100 years later.
