If Ye Xuan hadn't reached a dead end, he definitely wouldn't have sought him out. This was because Eternal Shadow was far too terrifying and his identity far too mysterious. His cultivation could even be described as invincible in the primordial chaos.
The so-called taboos were not tolerated by the primordial chaos. Just thinking about it made one realize how terrifying they were. And after their first encounter, Ye Xuan understood that he was nothing more than a chess piece in Eternal Shadow's eyes, a chess piece that he might be able to use.
Although Eternal Shadow had passed on two forbidden techniques to him, this didn't mean that they had a good relationship. He was just using him. Ye Xuan understood this principle very well.
In the battle between the strongest, he had killed the Lord of the Extreme Devil using the Future Transfiguration technique. This technique was extremely limited, requiring the right time, place, and people to use it.
But when the Future Transfiguration technique dissipated, he suffered a fatal blow from the Undying God Lord. He could be said to have died. If he hadn't learned Eternal Shadow's' Reverse 'technique, he would never have been able to come back from the dead.
The Inverse Character Technique and the Attack Character Technique were only two forbidden techniques. Although the Attack Character Technique was much weaker than the Inverse Character Technique, Ye Xuan had heard from the Eternal Shadow that he had eight forbidden techniques. These were only two of them.
Ye Xuan was able to understand the terrifying effects of these two incantations. The Inverse Character Technique had saved his life, and the Attack Character Technique had caused his battle prowess to be monstrous. And these were only two of the eight forbidden techniques. How terrifying were the other six?
From this, one could see just how powerful and mysterious Eternal Shadow was. Even Ye Xuan's so-called future self was no match for Eternal Shadow.
Ye Xuan traveled at extreme speed, the sea of stars churning beneath his feet. However, his thoughts were in a mess as he recalled everything he had learned about Eternal Shadow.
A hundred years quickly passed.
A blurry image of a world finally appeared in front of him. It was the Great Desolate World that Ye Xuan was familiar with. This woke him up from his thoughts, and his lonely eyes gradually became resolute.
Boom!
Ye Xuan took a step forward, and the sea of stars beneath his feet vanished. He transformed into a beam of light and entered the Great Desolate World.
… …
The sky was high and the clouds were light in the Untainted World.
Ye Xuan stood in the sky as if he was air. Even the passing immortals couldn't discover his figure when they passed by him on a cloud.
At this moment, in Ye Xuan's eyes, the immortals in the Untainted World were too low-level. If they were placed in the Chaotic World, they would only be on the path of cultivation.
This time, Ye Xuan didn't want to see any old friends. The only person he wanted to see was Eternal Shadow.
Ye Xuan's aura covered the entire Chaos World as he searched for Aeon Shadow. He even searched for the cave abode he had once stayed in with Aeon Shadow. However, he did not find any trace of him.
In the sky, Ye Xuan frowned. He didn't believe that the Ancient Shadow couldn't sense his return. The other party was clearly avoiding him.
"Senior, please meet me."
Ye Xuan bowed. His voice wasn't loud, as if it was an ordinary voice, and it didn't spread far and wide. However, Ye Xuan believed that the Eternal Shadow would definitely be able to hear his words.
"I once said that I wouldn't help you. You're just wasting your time looking for me. It's better for you to cultivate. This is what you should be doing."
A desireless voice sounded in Ye Xuan's ears. It didn't have any human emotions, but it made Ye Xuan feel refreshed.
"Senior, please take a look. I'm willing to pay any price to exchange with you. I only ask that you help me this once." Ye Xuan bowed once more, lowering his posture to the extreme.
Boom!
A black vortex suddenly sucked Ye Xuan into it. Ye Xuan didn't resist and disappeared into the sky.
… …
This was a secluded valley. Birds chirped and flowers bloomed. A small stream flowed. Beasts could be seen running through the forest from time to time. Birds flew past the trees and chirped.
A house was situated by the side of an ancient pool, and some flowers and plants were planted in the surroundings of the house. A black figure sat cross-legged by the side of the ancient pool, and his entire body was silent and motionless like a rock that had been there since ancient times.
"Little friend, congratulations on reaching the Undying realm."
Gai Tianyuan came back from the forest with some wood. He was dressed like a farmer and looked like a mortal. He didn't look like a peerless expert at all.
After not seeing each other for so many years, Gai Tianyuan followed by the side of the Eternal Shadow. It could be said that he had obtained great fortune, and even Ye Xuan couldn't see through his cultivation. If Ye Xuan wasn't wrong, then the other party had probably already stepped into the ranks of the half-step strongest.
Half-step sovereign!
He was only two words away from an eternal sovereign. However, as long as an eternal sovereign didn't appear, a half-step sovereign would be able to rule the universe. But now, he had become someone's servant, working like a mortal farmer.
"You're not bad yourself. It's just a pity that you won't be able to become an eternal sovereign." Ye Xuan said in a low voice.
"Senior said that I don't have the opportunity to become an eternal sovereign. Even if I work hard, I'll only be a stepping stone for someone else. It's better to become a half-step sovereign. This is also a good result." Gai Tianyuan smiled bitterly.
"Go."
Gai Tianyuan secretly gave Ye Xuan a look. He looked at the wood on his shoulder and left. Ye Xuan took a deep breath and walked toward the Ancient Shadow.
"Forbidden. No one can save you." Without waiting for Ye Xuan to ask, the Ancient Shadow said emotionlessly.
"I don't believe it!"
Ye Xuan was stunned for a full three breaths of time. Then, he stared fixedly at the back of this taboo figure and spat out these three words with certainty.
"You don't believe it?"
The Ancient Shadow slowly stood up and looked back at Ye Xuan. The light of death around him made it impossible to see his expression, but Ye Xuan could sense the mockery in his scarlet eyes.
"What do you think forbidden power is?" asked the Ancient Shadow.
"I don't understand. That's why I'm here to beg you." Ye Xuan said in a low voice.
"The so-called taboo isn't the realm above the eternal sovereign. In layman's terms, people like me are merely eternal sovereigns. However, something has happened to me, and I'm no longer accepted by the Chaosverse. My origin force is against the Chaosverse. This is the meaning of the taboo.
"Of course, people like me are indeed above the eternal sovereigns. It's not wrong to call them taboo realms. The power we possess can also be called taboo power."
Hearing the words of the Eternal Shadow, Ye Xuan's eyes were filled with bewilderment. This allowed him to know some secrets about taboo characters, but this time, he didn't want to discuss these things with the Eternal Shadow. He came for Liu Baiyi, and only the Eternal Shadow in front of him could save Liu Baiyi.
"I only want to save him, and you're the only one who can save him. No matter what price you have to pay, as long as you're willing to save him, I'm willing to give you my life," said Ye Xuan coldly.
"Your life?"
"Hahaha!"
The Ancient Shadow laughed mockingly. He glanced sideways at Ye Xuan and said, "If I wanted your life, you'd be dead already. Why would I need you to give it to me?"
