Xia Keke's Message
In a region of ancient trees on the outskirts of the Immortal Region, the old beggar, who'd tied up Yun Ting, staggered through the gaps between the ancient trees.
After passing several hundred meters, a simple thatched hut appeared in the depths of the thicket.
"Burp."
The old beggar's face was bright red, and his breath reeked of alcohol. His feet trembled as he walked to the stone table in front of the hut and sat down. He poured wine into his mouth, only to discover that it was empty at some point.
"Endless gourd of wine? That's all nonsense."
He casually tossed the gourd to the ground. Relying on the alcohol, the old beggar lay down on the grass next to the stone table and stared at the dazzling river of stars overhead.
"A hundred years."
The old beggar muttered in a low voice. However, his voice wasn't as hoarse as before. Instead, it was ancient and filled with melancholy.
"A hundred years. Your corpses have turned cold, but I'm still alive. What's laughable is ….. in a hundred years, I haven't found a single trace of your soul or bones."
In the darkness of the night, his bitter words were heart-wrenching.
"That's a divine artifact. How could you just throw it away like that?"
At that moment, a white-robed man suddenly appeared in front of the thatched hut. He reached out with his right hand and grabbed the gourd. He walked over to the old beggar and placed it back on the stone table.
The old beggar completely ignored the man's appearance. It was as if he hadn't noticed him at all. He continued to lie on the ground and stare at the vast river of stars overhead.
"Hey, I say ….. I was the one who pulled out a strand of your soul from that soul lock and helped you reincarnate. I'm your benefactor, right? Can you stop ignoring me all the time? "
The white-robed man helplessly crouched down, but the old beggar snorted.
"Do I need you to meddle in other people's business?"
"Heh, you …" The white-robed man furrowed his brows, speechless. However, he quickly relaxed and sighed. "You're too disappointing. I've been at your beck and call for you for the past hundred years. I've been looking for Xia Keke and Su Yiyun the entire time. I've only just found some clues when I came to find you, but you treat me like this. Forget it, I'll just pretend I'm meddling. I'm leaving. "
"Wind Seal."
Just as the white-robed man was about to leave, a wall of wind surrounded him. The dispirited old beggar's spiritual energy trembled as he vaporized the wine. Then, he leapt in front of the white-robed man.
"You just …"
The old beggar's voice trembled. Through his disheveled hair, one could see that his eyes shone with a light as bright as the stars of the nine heavens.
His hand, which was reaching for the white-robed man, trembled slightly, and his breathing quickened.
"Gu Zichen, please don't joke with me. If you ….."
"What if it was me?" The white-robed man smiled calmly, then pursed his lips at the old beggar. "Why haven't you dispersed the Wind Seal yet?"
The Wind Seal dispersed, and the white-robed man took the opportunity to sit down in front of the stone table.
Tapping his fingers on the table, the old beggar nervously rushed over and sat across from the white-robed man.
"You said … you said you have news about them?"
"I never would've guessed that after a few years, you'd gain enlightenment in the Five Elements. Ten reincarnated saints truly do have a unique advantage when it comes to comprehending the Laws of Heaven and Earth."
The white-robed man didn't answer his question, but little did he know that he'd touched the old beggar's weakest nerve.
"I'm asking you, do you have news about them?"
Rumble!
A sudden clap of thunder boomed through the sky. At the same time, the old beggar's body gradually emanated a frightening spiritual pressure.
The Laws around him were in chaos. The earth trembled, and the space around him distorted until it collapsed.
The birds and beasts in the forest couldn't withstand the spiritual pressure. They cried out in pain and fled.
The white-robed man sat calmly on the stone chair and arched his brows. When he saw the bloody aura surrounding the old beggar, he calmed himself and said seriously, "I can't say I have news about them.
I can't say I have news about them. "
"Tell me everything!"
The old beggar's tone was extremely oppressive. Although this sort of pressure didn't mean much to the white-robed man, he still shook his head.
"I think I saw Xia Keke in the Yao Realm, but I'm not completely sure if it was her or not. However, based on her aura, I can't be wrong. Right, I think I saw Su Yan in yao territory as well. "
"She …."
At the mention of Su Yan, the old beggar's expression trembled inexplicably.
However, he didn't say anything. Instead, he let out a disappointed sigh, then frowned at the white-robed man.
"So that means I have to ascend, right?"
"You can interpret it that way." The white-robed man nodded noncommittally. "Besides, given your strength, you should've ascended long ago. It's just that you've been suppressing your spiritual energy all this time. From the fluctuations of your spiritual energy, it's already on the verge of overflowing. You can't suppress it for much longer, can you? You might as well take advantage of this opportunity to ascend. "
The old beggar's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of vigilance. Sensing the old beggar's wariness, the white-robed man couldn't help but sigh.
"Ye Zichen, do you think I'm lying to you?"
When he heard that, the old beggar grabbed the man's hair. When he lifted the hair covering his face, the face revealed was none other than the Immortal Region's Emperor Ye, Ye Zichen.
"Can I trust you?"
Ye Zichen rubbed his forehead and pulled at his hair suspiciously. He stared intently at the white-robed man, as if trying to see right through him.
"Are you sure this isn't part of your plan to help me ascend?"
"Believe it or not, that's up to you." The white-robed man snorted angrily. "In any case, I've already said everything I needed to say. As for how you judge, that's your problem. That's all I have to say. Goodbye. "
With that, the white-robed man flicked his sleeves and left without so much as a backward glance.
As Ye Zichen watched him leave, he sat in front of the stone table, unable to make up his mind.
"Forget it."
After a long silence, Ye Zichen stood up from his stone chair. He took a few steps forward and gazed at the vast Milky Way in the distance.
"I'll have to go eventually, so I might as well go."
As he considered this, Ye Zichen stopped suppressing his spiritual energy. The instant it spread out, the heavenly lightning descended one after another.
Little did he know, in the sky not far from the thatched hut …
The white-robed man had been watching them the entire time. When he saw Ye Zichen summon tribulation lightning, he smiled calmly.
He understood Ye Zichen far too well; it was almost as if he understood himself.
Rather than wasting his breath explaining things to Ye Zichen, he might as well just wave his sleeves and leave. It was more practical to goad Ye Zichen into action.
Besides, he was very satisfied with the results.
The only thing he worried about was that Ye Zichen's previous lightning tribulations had all ended in failure. Now that he'd reincarnated ten times and forged a saint's soul, the heavenly lightning might be even fiercer than before.
