A Reason to Blossom
Secluded cultivation.
When the young man came out of seclusion, he finally understood what the middle-aged man had told him back then.
He'd stepped onto the path of immortality. As long as he chose the path of cultivation, he'd walked far away from the world of mortals.
At the time, he'd naively wanted to use immortal spells to win the acceptance of the village children. Only when he emerged did he realize how laughable it had been.
Immortals lived long lives.
To him, seclusion had been like the snap of a finger, but to mortals, it was a lifetime.
He looked at the children in the village, who'd gone from youth to old age. After a moment's hesitation, he turned around and walked away with the village on his back.
He knew that he no longer belonged here.
The youth really was made for immortal cultivation. In just a hundred years, he'd reached the Sky Immortal level. Fully fledged, he founded the Hundred Flowers Gate and stationed himself in the Immortal Region's Hundred Flowers City.
His father disappeared after his seclusion, never to be seen again.
A thousand years passed.
In the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed. The youth was now the master of a gate. Outside the Immortal Region, or even in the entire Three Realms, he was a powerhouse.
His hands and eyes were everywhere, and he could decide the fate of ten thousand people with a smile ….
But his heart was still lonely.
The Hundred Flowers Battle Technique.
He could skillfully use all the techniques, and he'd even modified them. But he'd never released the final bloom of the secret manual.
He'd gotten used to the withering of flowers. In truth, he was curious as to what a black rose would look like after it bloomed.
But he had no reason to bloom, and he couldn't find any reason to do so.
He'd once thought that the middle-aged man's reason was that he might release it when he died. But after all this time, he realized that the middle-aged man hadn't meant that ….
Die for someone else?
He snorted disdainfully.
The path of immortality was a path that defied the heavens. Only selfishness would allow one to live longer and walk further.
Die for someone else?
He wasn't that stupid, and he didn't believe anyone would be that stupid.
Until ….
"Hua Hai, Sect Leader Hua …."
Amidst the swirling clouds, Hua Hai stared at the old man in blood-red robes. His left arm was twisted irregularly, and his body was riddled with bone-deep wounds.
"Someone plotted against me …" Hua Hai couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Due to his childhood memories, his thoughts were a little extreme. He had tried countless times to find the middle-aged man and ask him about the true meaning behind his actions. However, even with his current strength, he still could not find any information about the middle-aged man.
It was as if he had evaporated into thin air while he was in seclusion …
Evaporation.
However, just as he was about to give up on the search, he received a message. Without any hesitation, he bent down and walked forward, but he did not expect that this was a trap left by his enemy.
A thousand years old, in this Immortal Region that had an ancient history, could only be considered a youth.
His Hundred Flowers Gate's bold and decisive expansion naturally encroached on the interests of certain people. However, he didn't care at all. In his eyes, those guys were just losers. He didn't care about them at all.
He had no respect for others and did as he pleased …
But he didn't expect to suffer a setback here.
"Our insufferably arrogant Sect Leader Hua, aren't you rather arrogant? Now, it seems that you're only so-so? "
Beside the old man in the blood-red robe stood a few middle-aged men who looked like merchants.
Needless to say, these guys were definitely the ones whose interests were harmed.
"A bunch of scoundrels," snorted Hua Hai disdainfully.
In his eyes, these merchants were nothing more than ants. If they hadn't found Elder Xue ….
Elder Xue was an old senior of the Immortal Region, the sect master of the Blood Temple Sect. Even the major powers of the Immortal Region's sacred lands had to give him some face, much less those outside the Immortal Region.
Although the Hundred Flowers Gate had plenty of momentum, it paled in comparison to the Blood Temple Sect. In terms of strength, the difference between him and Elder Xue was like the difference between heaven and earth.
There was an absolute gap between their strengths, and his arm had been severed.
"I can only use that move."
Just as he was about to grit his teeth and make his decision, a man in a woven rush raincoat appeared in front of him.
When he saw the familiar figure, Hua Hai's heart trembled inexplicably.
"It's … it's you …."
"Not bad."
The man in the woven rush raincoat turned around. It was none other than Hua Hai's father. He smiled and nodded, but Hua Hai could tell that the middle-aged man's "not bad" referred to his current strength.
"Early sky immortal.
Hua Hai, who'd already reached the mid-stage sky immortal stage, could tell his father's strength with a single glance.
He furrowed his brows and roared, "What are you doing here?"
"To save you!"
"You can't beat him!" rebuked Hua Hai. "Hurry up and leave. You don't need to worry about my business."
"Have you forgotten about that forbidden technique?"
The middle-aged man in the woven rush raincoat smiled. Hua Hai's knitted brows instantly froze. His lips quivered ….
"You'll …."
"Do you remember what I told you before I found out? My reason is right now! "
… …
"Bloom."
Amidst the murderous atmosphere, the snap of his fingers was ear-piercing. Hua Hai smiled calmly as he stood in the sky, his fingers still in the same position.
A black rose, tens of thousands of meters long, suddenly appeared in the sky. It was a bud, ready to bloom.
Beside it, countless tiny roses appeared, either at the bottom of the sea of flowers or on top of its head …
Five roses. Including the one in the center, there were five in total.
"Look!"
The moment Rose appeared, almost everyone turned to look at her.
"That's …. A Blossoming Rose." The city lords of the Beast Region and the Immortal Region couldn't help but arch their brows.
The Hundred Flowers Battle Technique was one of the more famous battle techniques of the Immortal Region. Hua Hai, the head of the Hundred Flowers Gate, had given even more people a better understanding of it.
They all knew that this technique was called Blossoming. And they also knew ….
The price of Blossoming.
"Master."
When Li Jiayi saw this, she couldn't help but tear up.
Buy time. Was this why her master was so certain that he'd be the one to buy time?
"A Blossoming Black Rose." Hiderigami, the Zombie Progenitor who had remained in the distance, couldn't help but snort and laugh. "Using your life in exchange for a fleeting bloom? It's quite sad to think about it. It's just a bud, waiting to bloom. Once it's all in full bloom, it'll probably be quite magnificent. "
"Hah …. Tragic, is it?"
Hua Hai smiled calmly. Once upon a time, he'd thought the same thing, but now ….
He stared intently at the Zombie Progenitors blocking their path. Then, his gaze landed on Li Jiayi and the senior and junior sisters behind her.
After that, the words that he would never be able to forget suddenly appeared in his mind.
