Xiao Chen simply could not believe what he was hearing.
Thirty-six million years?!
Although the lifespan of experts was very long, this was the first time Xiao Chen heard such a number. The shock he felt was indescribable.
After all, even if Xiao Chen had a very long lifespan, he had only lived for a few hundred years.
Hence, when he heard this number, he was truly shocked.
Furthermore, these thirty-six million years were just the number of years this Senior Nameless had been trapped here.
Xiao Chen did not dare imagine how many years this Senior Nameless had lived for.
"Look at yourself. What's there to be surprised about? However, it is understandable. I can see that your bone age is not that old. To be able to cultivate to Immortal King at such a young age, you can be considered a dragon among men. Unfortunately, you were unlucky to end up in this uninhabited region. " Senior Nameless rolled his eyes. Then, he looked around and actually saw through Xiao Chen's true age.
"S-Senior, it's been so many years. Have you been trapped here all this time?" Xiao Chen asked hoarsely.
The number of years had truly frightened him.
"Isn't that obvious? If I could leave, I would have left long ago. That's why I advise you to spend less effort and rest more. Don't die so early. "Senior Nameless snorted softly.
However, at this point, Senior Nameless glanced at him again, feeling somewhat doubtful. "Why do I feel that your lifeforce has not decreased over the years?"
"This … indeed not," Xiao Chen said honestly after hesitating for a while.
In the past few decades, aside from trying to find a way to leave, he had spent the rest of his time cultivating and comprehending the Creation Scroll and Law Energy.
The Endless Growth Art in the Creation Scroll seemed to be able to neutralize that corrosive energy.
Hence, his lifeforce had not decreased at all.
"Indeed, not at all! It looks like you have many secrets on you. No wonder a mere Immortal King could come here. "Senior Nameless stared at Xiao Chen and sighed.
Then, he actually laughed. "That's good too. It's been quite boring for me to stay here alone for so many years. It's good to have you to talk to me now."
Even if an expert at the Celestial King Realm was unable to quickly improve his cultivation here, it was not a problem for him to live for tens of thousands or even millions of years.
Although she couldn't compare to him, she could at least keep him from feeling lonely and bored for a long period of time.
Senior John Doe did not intend to ask further, which made Xiao Chen heave a sigh of relief.
Although they were very familiar with each other after so many years, and there was an inexplicable tacit understanding between them, Xiao Chen was still somewhat nervous when it came to the Creation Scroll.
"Look at you, brat. Even if you have a treasure, this old man won't be moved. No matter how good the treasure is, it's worthless here. If you can't get out, you might as well drink some wine! "Senior John Doe could still easily see through Xiao Chen's mind and directly sneered.
"I've embarrassed myself in front of you, Senior." Xiao Chen scratched his head awkwardly.
"Brat, you don't know. In order to live here for one or two more days, there were many super powerful beings who were willing to give up everything they had in exchange for my life. I didn't care at all." Senior John Doe snorted.
"Haha, those old guys are too strong. It's very costly to help them extend their lives. I won't help them extend their lives for some worthless things and end my own life early."
Xiao Chen was speechless, but he still couldn't help saying, "Senior, forgive me for offending you. Since you've already given up the possibility of getting out, why do you still persist? I remember you said before that if you really die, it's a kind of relief. "
"Brat, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Why should I die if I can live? Even if there's no hope, do I have to die? "Senior John Doe glared and scolded with a smile.
"For those who can't live on, death is a kind of relief. But since I can live on, why shouldn't I live? And although there's no hope of getting out of here, think about it from another perspective. Here, you can cultivate and comprehend without any distractions. If you can achieve success in your cultivation, you can forcibly break out of here, right? "
"This …" Xiao Chen blinked. He didn't expect Senior John Doe to be able to say such a reasonable thing.
"Of course, even if you were to cultivate for tens of millions of years, you wouldn't be able to do that. However, I still have a little bit of a chance. After so many years, I also have a little bit of a clue. Maybe after tens of millions of years, I will be able to get out of here. Tell me, since there is a little bit of hope for me to get out, why would I want to die?" Senior Wu Ming said with a smile.
Xiao Chen could only be speechless.
"If I help them prolong their lives, it will delay my comprehension. So, no matter how good the treasure is, I won't be tempted at all. And I can also tell you that besides the direction you came from, there are also many powerful skeletons and space rings in other directions. If you like, you can take them at any time, "Senior John Doe said calmly.
Naturally, Xiao Chen wouldn't take them because those things were useless to him.
"Then, Senior, if one day you really comprehend the Great Way, what's the first thing you want to do when you get out of here?" Xiao Chen was very bored anyway, so he asked casually.
"This … I don't know. Do you think the Great Way can be comprehended just because you want to? I don't even have the slightest confidence now. Why should I think about getting out? "Senior John Doe curled his lips.
Xiao Chen finally understood that this old man was also a person who didn't play by the rules.
"Ah!" Originally, Xiao Chen felt that there was some hope, but after hearing this sentence, he also looked dejected. "If only I could get out, it would be good, even if I have to pay a big price!"
"Humph, what kind of price can you, a weak Celestial King, pay? If someone can help me get out, I am willing to pay any price! "Senior John Doe said disdainfully.
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, stopped talking to this old man, and continued to comprehend the Creation Scroll in silence.
This old man was right about one thing, he could indeed cultivate and comprehend here without distractions.
The effect of comprehending the Power of Law here was very small, so Xiao Chen concentrated on comprehending the Creation Scroll!
Another seven or eight years had passed.
Senior John Doe was comprehending, so was Xiao Chen. Their conversation became less and less.
On this day, Xiao Chen, who was comprehending, suddenly heard the voice of the Fengsha Sword.
"Big Brother! Big Brother! Haha, I have been in seclusion for so many years, and finally I have a little bit of memory about the Killing Emperor Tactics! "The little fellow was very happy.
