"That's your Uncle-Master Hei. This guy is definitely a weirdo. You'll find out in the future."
Even Gu Fei blushed when he saw Hei Tian being chased around by an Immortal. It was too embarrassing.
However, he soon realized that Hei Tian was not afraid of the Immortal-level cultivator. Instead, he was playing with the Immortal-level cultivator.
"Uncle-Master Hei Tian."
Old Jiao remembered the name.
"Despicable guy, hurry up and give us back our things."
Heng Xiong's eyes were red. They had entered the ruins of the Mythological Era, but they were unlucky. Not long after they entered the ruins, someone triggered the remaining restrictions and lost his life.
However, when they carefully arrived in front of a collapsed stone tablet, they discovered a divine item at the base of the stone tablet.
It was a jade slip embedded at the base of the stone tablet. Although countless years had passed, the jade slip was still crystal clear. There was a spiritual light flowing on it, and there seemed to be ancient words appearing on it.
Everyone could sense a Daoist Rhyme from the jade slip.
Heng Xiong and the others were overjoyed. They thought that they had encountered an unprecedented opportunity and that the jade slip would definitely contain something they wanted.
Therefore, everyone was extremely excited and wanted to take the jade slip embedded at the base of the stone tablet. However, those who could cultivate to the Immortal Realm were not ordinary people.
Heng Xiong and the others were even more careful in this ruins that had existed since the Mythological Era. No one dared to step forward rashly.
However, Heng Xiong and the others could not help but step forward when faced with the divine item from the Ancient Supreme Palace.
However, the result made them tremble with fear. The first person who walked forward had all his Blood Essence devoured by an invisible force. Even his soul was extracted and devoured by the shattered stone tablets on the ground.
This outcome shocked everyone.
There were many bones scattered around the stone tablet. Some of the bones were as white as jade. Obviously, these were the bones of Immortals.
Did these people all die like this?
Very soon, someone came up with an idea, which was to go out and catch some live animals, and then use these animals to explore the dangerous area at the base of the stone monument.
Thus, the old man walked back. Soon, he caught many lions, tigers, jackals, and wolves in the mountains. Twenty to thirty wild beasts were brought to the base of the stone tablet by the old man using the Heaven and Earth in his sleeve.
However, a shocking scene occurred. When those ordinary beasts approached the base of the stone tablet, they were completely fine.
"How could this be?"
Seeing this situation, everyone was dumbfounded. For a moment, no one could think of the reason. Could it be that ordinary people and beasts could walk in this kind of ruins?
Heng Xiong and the others couldn't wait to fly out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains and catch a mortal to try.
Such a thought was very unrealistic. After all, it wasn't an easy task to make a trip to and fro the Grand Myriad Mountains. They'd prepared for an entire half a year, and it would take them another three months to arrive here after entering the Grand Myriad Mountains.
After half a year, the daylilies would turn cold.
Therefore, someone suggested that they should either leave, or let one of them destroy their own cultivation and become an ordinary person. Then, they could retrieve the jade scroll embedded at the base of the stone tablet.
"This …"
Everyone hesitated. Destroy their own cultivation? They were all rogue cultivators. To be able to cultivate to the Immortal Realm, they had suffered a lot. It could be said that they'd gone through a lot of hardships.
It wasn't easy to obtain the Immortal Realm's Fruit of Way. Who would be willing to give up their Immortal Realm's Fruit of Way and become an ordinary person without the strength to catch a chicken?
"I've lived long enough, and I have hidden injuries of the Great Dao. It's impossible for my cultivation to improve any further. Let me fulfill your wish."
The old cultivator's final words came as a surprise to everyone. No one thought that he would be the one to stand up in the end.
"Old man, you …"
After the sloppy old man made this decision, he seemed to be relieved. His eyes flickered, and his essence, qi, and spirit were raised to their peak state.
"You don't have to say anymore. Heng Xiong, can you promise me one thing?"
The sloppy old man looked at Heng Xiong.
"Speak."
Heng Xiong's heart seemed to be blocked by something when he saw that the old man was willing to make such a sacrifice. Was this the final fate of a rogue cultivator?
"My grandson's physique isn't bad. After I die, I hope you can take him as a disciple for my sake." The old man couldn't let go of his grandson.
"Alright, I promise."
Heng Xiong said.
"I can rest easy now that you've agreed."
After the old man said this, his body began to emit specks of immortal light. This was the essence of the Immortal Path that the old man had cultivated for countless years. He was unraveling immortality.
This was a type of immortal art. Those who used this art could turn their immortal body and immortal essence into a mortal's body.
It only took an hour to go from immortal to mortal, but some people couldn't even cultivate their entire lives to become an immortal.
An hour later, the old man had become incredibly old. There was no longer any immortal essence coming from his body. He had turned from a high and mighty immortal into a mortal.
"Old man …"
The others couldn't help but be shocked.
This kind of heroic act of sacrificing oneself to help others wasn't something that just anyone could do.
There were eight other survivors besides Heng Xiong. The old man was on the verge of death. The immortal essence had dissipated, and his immortal body had transformed. His life was almost at its end.
Moreover, he still had hidden injuries of the Great Dao. These injuries wouldn't disappear just because the old man used the Unraveling Immortal Art.
Conservatively speaking, the sloppy old man could only live for a few more hours. Heng Xiong was very sad.
"Don't worry, your grandson will definitely be fine as long as I can leave this place alive," Heng Xiong said to the old man. This was equivalent to his oath.
The old man nodded and walked to the base of the stele.
This time, the old man wasn't affected by the mysterious power. He walked straight to the base of the stele and was about to take out the jade scroll embedded in it.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the old man.
The old man was shocked. He tried to snatch the jade scroll, but he had lost all his cultivation. There was no way he could match the speed of the person who suddenly appeared.
The old man's vision blurred. He saw that the jade scroll at the base of the stele was already in the person's hand.
"Boom."
Heaven and earth shook. Runes appeared on the shattered stone tablet, and an unfathomable power was activated, enveloping the person who had suddenly appeared.
"The power of time."
