The Human World, the bottom of the Soul Burial Abyss!
Space warped, and a figure walked out of the distorted space tunnel!
"You're finally back!"
The mysterious old man sitting cross-legged in front of the majestic tomb smiled faintly when he saw Chu Rui walk out of the space tunnel.
"Greetings, senior!"
From the first time he fought Xing Tian and fell here, to the time he went to the Tomb of the Gods for help … He had spoken with this mysterious and invincible mausoleum keeper several times, but this was the first time he saw him in person.
Chu Rui knew very well that he didn't have the right to see him before. But now, with his current strength, he was only qualified to see him. In front of the mausoleum keeper, he still couldn't sense his strength, just like in the past. It was just that he couldn't sense his existence before, but now that he saw him in person, he couldn't sense his strength.
This was a terrifying performance!
Could this old man be an existence on the same level as the Heavenly Demon?
Chu Rui guessed inwardly!
Chu Rui wasn't sure, but he was sure that the mausoleum keeper in front of him was definitely not weaker than a Saint!
He bowed respectfully, not daring to show the slightest disrespect. This wasn't just because the old man's strength was simply shocking, but also because he had helped him before. Chu Rui had always been clear about kindness and hatred. He would take revenge for enmity and repay kindness.
"You've done well!"
The old man glanced indifferently at Chu Rui, his tone calm. This compliment didn't seem to have any emotion in it. Or rather, it seemed like a casual remark, perfunctory in nature.
"Thank you for the praise, senior!"
Even so, Chu Rui didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
"With your strength back then, unifying the chaotic places in the Tomb of the Gods within a year was an impossible task. But now, not only did you complete it ahead of time, but you've also raised your strength to such a level. If it were anyone else, this would be absolutely shocking and absolutely unbelievable. But to me, this is only natural. "
Perhaps the old man saw through Chu Rui's thoughts, but he didn't point it out. He just talked to himself, as if he was talking to himself, but also as if he was explaining to Chu Rui.
"Mortals use their eyes to see things, wise men use their brains to see things, saints use their hearts to see things, and Daoists use their Dao to see things. The mission I gave you back then was not to make things difficult for you, nor was it to spur you on. Instead, it's because I believe in you. The Heavenly Dao believes in you. No, to be more precise, it's because you're absolutely capable of doing this. Of course, for you to be able to complete the mission so well, you are naturally worthy of my praise. "
Chu Rui's face turned slightly ugly. He respected this elder, because his strength and the kindness he showed him was worth it. However, he was not a pedantic fellow. Even if he was indebted to this old man, he could not act so high and mighty, as if his fate had already been decided. The feeling of being manipulated was very unpleasant. No one liked to be a puppet, and no one liked to be a puppet. It was even more so for Chu Rui.
"Who are you?"
At this moment, Chu Rui did not care about etiquette. Repaying kindness was his creed. However, it did not mean that he was willing to bear this shackle for the rest of his life. If there was a chance, even if it meant risking his life, he would repay it. However, this kindness was not a bargaining chip that the old man used to coerce him, nor was it a mountain that he would be unable to breathe under for the rest of his life. He was still him, and Chu Rui was still Chu Rui. He would not change his personality and character because of this kindness.
"Similar, really similar! Not similar, not at all! "
However, the old man did not answer Chu Rui's question. He looked at him, looked at his face, and the words "who are you" echoed in his ears. No one had ever been so rude in front of him, and it was even more so because after receiving his kindness, he still treated his benefactor in such a manner. However, this young man in front of him dared to do so. Looking at Chu Rui, he thought of a certain person and could not help but sigh.
What?
The old man's specious words did not make Chu Rui go berserk. Instead, he fell into deep thought. He knew very well that the old man would not use this sentence to insult him, nor would he deliberately ignore him. And the meaning of this sentence, what exactly was it?
Thank you, I'm sorry!
He thought back to when Pangu's last strand of consciousness disappeared, he said this very nonsensical sentence to him. The doubts in Chu Rui's heart deepened.
"Old friend, it's time to come back."
Before Chu Rui could think further, the old man's voice sounded again. Chu Rui had not completely recovered from his shock, but he was affected by the violent vibration from his hand. He instantly woke up, and his expression suddenly changed.
Swish …
The ring on his right index finger suddenly left him and flew in front of the old man.
The Dragon Spirit Ring?
Looking at the ring that had followed him for a long time and helped him countless times along the way, Chu Rui's heart trembled. The Dragon Spirit Ring was nothing. Now that the Primal Chaos Set had returned to its peak state, the Book of Death had evolved, and the Xuanyuan Sword and Heaven Splitting Axe were two magic treasures. This ring, which Chu Rui could not afford to lose, had fallen to a second-tier magic treasure. However, there was nothing special about the Dragon Spirit Ring itself, but there was something special about the mysterious purple Dragon Spirit in the space inside it.
All along, Chu Rui had wanted to figure out who the purple dragon spirit was, but he had never been able to do so. In Pangu's Domain, when facing Pangu's consciousness, his mind was in turmoil, and he had completely forgotten about this matter. However, he had also specifically asked Tian Yun. But this girl did not give him an answer. It was that catch-all sentence that had almost become a universal phrase for him to dismiss her: When the time comes, it will be clear.
But now, the identity of the purple dragon spirit was about to be revealed. It turned out that it was related to this old man. No wonder it was so strong. This old man's strength was definitely not inferior to a Saint.
"Greetings, Master!"
The Dragon Spirit Ring shattered with a bang and no longer existed. The purple dragon spirit that lived inside revealed its figure. Its body that had returned to its original size in the Yin Yang Land had shrunk to only a hundred meters long. The Dragon Race was proud, and the purple dragon spirit was even more so. However, at this moment, it was crawling on the ground, lowering its arrogant head to the ground, paying respects to this slightly sloppy old man in the most humble manner.
"You, who are you?"
The purple dragon spirit's posture surprised Chu Rui, and he already had a plan in mind. However, without waiting for the old man to admit it, he could not confirm it.
"My name is Hongjun!"
