“Thank you, Honored Senior, thank you.” Dongbo Xueying was very excited. He believed he could manipulate some of the world’s power and evade detection by the world’s forces, which should indicate transcendence over the laws of heaven and earth, possibly making the individual a legendary great being! Although such an exalted existence, why would they pay attention to him or appear here, Dongbo Xueying was puzzled, after all, he was merely an inner disciple of the Hongchen Holy Master, and even the Temple of Time and Space had refused to help him save his wife. All of this suggested that his talent probably wasn’t enough to attract the attention of such a powerful figure.
Yet, no matter the reason or purpose, as long as Jingqiu could be saved, Dongbo Xueying was already brimming with gratitude.
“Don’t rush to thank me; I must make something clear first. After I finish speaking, you can continue with your efforts to save your wife, and then I shall act,” said the old man with white hair and a youthful face.
“Honored Senior, please speak,” Dongbo Xueying replied hastily.
“Firstly, the method I use to save her will require you to give half of your soul’s essence to your wife,” said the old man with white hair and a youthful face. “I believe you understand the importance of the soul’s essence. Losing half of it will greatly slow down your cultivation and comprehension speed. Your future prospects will be affected. You must think carefully whether you are willing.”
“I’m willing, I’m willing,” Dongbo Xueying replied quickly. “It’s just half of my soul’s essence, right? I cultivate the Ten Thousand Tribulation Primordial Scripture, and my soul has become several times stronger than when I first started.”
After advancing to the second layer of the Ten Thousand Tribulation Primordial Body, his soul had been continuously strengthened by his physical body.
Losing half of it wouldn’t even make him weaker than when he first began his cultivation journey.
What was such a loss anyway?
“If you don’t become a World God and don’t comprehend the first grade, recovering half of your lost soul essence will be extremely difficult. This will cause you to become a World God ten or even a hundred times later than you otherwise would. It might even prevent you from becoming a World God at all.” The old man with white hair and a youthful face looked at Dongbo Xueying. “The path of cultivation is difficult to advance even a single step. Yet you are willing to lose half of your soul’s essence… Are you truly ready? Don’t blame me afterward.”
“I have thought it through, Honored Senior,” Dongbo Xueying replied quickly.
“Very well,” the old man with white hair and a youthful face nodded. “But I won’t help you for free. In the future, I will need you to do one thing for me.”
Dongbo Xueying understood that a being who was at least a fourth-heaven World God, or even possibly a great being, had come to help him. He was willing to pay any price, but even the Temple of Time and Space had not agreed to help him save his wife. Obviously, the method to save his wife would likely come at a high cost. It was only natural for the other party to have some requests.
“Honored Senior, please speak. Dongbo Xueying will not hesitate even if it costs my life,” Dongbo Xueying replied hastily.
“It won’t be anything evil,” the old man with white hair and a youthful face said, flipping his hand and producing a golden talisman. It looked ordinary, but the golden talisman flew toward Dongbo Xueying. “This is a token. One day in the future, someone might come to you with an identical token, and at that time, you will need to fulfill your part.”
“I will remember, Honored Senior,” Dongbo Xueying immediately accepted the golden talisman.
Such a great favor was worth repaying with his very life.
Previously, he was willing to pay any price, but unfortunately, even the Temple of Time and Space had looked down on him.
“Don’t think too much about it, little one. Your current strength is still too weak. Even if you want to help me, you won’t be of much use,” the old man with white hair and a youthful face smiled. “After saving your wife, you must cultivate diligently. By the way, in a thousand years or so, there will be a grand event at the Blood Blade Divine Court. You can go and participate… because through it, there is hope of becoming a disciple of a great being. Although you are an inner disciple of Hongchen, Hongchen is already dead, so you won’t be able to receive his guidance. You must know that the biggest difference between a guardian disciple and an inner disciple or a direct disciple is having the guidance of a great being. Great beings have transcended the laws of heaven and earth. They have mastered the complete laws of heaven and earth. Their guidance will point directly to the essence, greatly enhancing your cultivation.”
Dongbo Xueying was not surprised that the other party knew he was an inner disciple of the Hongchen Holy Master and quickly asked, “Can I learn from another master after becoming the Holy Master’s disciple?”
“Yes, as long as your previous master agrees. Since Hongchen is dead, he naturally won’t refuse,” the old man with white hair and a youthful face smiled.
“Oh,” Dongbo Xueying nodded.
On the path of cultivation, others generally could not casually offer guidance.
But great beings were truly beyond the laws of heaven and earth, and their guidance was something one could only dream of.
“Of course, this is just a suggestion, to help you walk a smoother and farther path in your cultivation. As for how you choose to proceed, ultimately, it is your own decision,” the old man with white hair and a youthful face said. “If you’re ready, then I shall act.”
“Please, Honored Senior,” Dongbo Xueying replied hastily.
The old man with white hair and a youthful face became solemn and walked to one side.
Then he reached out and made a sweeping gesture in the distance.
A massive mark appeared in the sky.
“Boom!!!” Dongbo Xueying felt the entire mortal world’s power trembling faintly, as if it were resisting.
Although this old man was merely a projection of the world, seemingly very weak, the world’s power could not harm him in the slightest.
The old man with white hair and a youthful face continued to draw, and the sky was filled with countless golden divine patterns. The patterns were dazzling, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. Dongbo Xueying looked up and vaguely felt as if some force were following the patterns and continuously drilling into the old man’s body. He didn’t know… this was the backlash of the laws of heaven and earth.
Of course, all of this was blocked by the old man’s true body.
“Remember, do not resist at all. If you resist, everything will be in vain!” the old man with white hair and a youthful face shouted.
“Yes,” Dongbo Xueying quickly nodded.
Buzz!!!
Countless divine patterns formed a giant golden gate. The golden gate emitted two golden beams, one connecting to Dongbo Xueying, and the other connecting to Yu Jingqiu lying there.
At the moment the golden beams touched their bodies,
Dongbo Xueying immediately felt his soul becoming somewhat ethereal. Although it seemed comfortable, he could sense his soul gradually weakening. However, he could also feel his soul energy following the golden beams, transforming through the golden gate into a more mysterious force that entered his wife Jingqiu’s body.
Beside them, the old man with white hair and a youthful face was manipulating everything, his expression solemn.
This scene lasted for almost half an hour.
The backlash of the laws of heaven and earth was resisted by the old man’s true body for nearly half an hour.
“Steady.”
With a shout,
The golden gate in the sky silently began to dissipate, and the golden beams also vanished.
The ethereal sensation in Dongbo Xueying’s soul disappeared, and he returned to his normal feeling.
“It’s done. I should go now,” the old man with white hair and a youthful face pointed with his finger, and the talisman controlling the time flow rate on Yu Jingqiu flew to the ground. “Kid, remember your promise.”
“Rest assured, Honored Senior,” Dongbo Xueying couldn’t help but ask. “When will my wife wake up?”
“Very soon,” the old man with white hair and a youthful face said, and his figure began to fade away.
Whoosh.
He completely vanished into the sky and earth.
On the mountaintop of Xueshi Mountain, only Dongbo Xueying and Yu Jingqiu, who was lying there, remained.
“Jingqiu.” Dongbo Xueying immediately went to his wife’s side, half-kneeling beside her, carefully looking at her face, anxiously waiting.
Would she wake up?
Would that old man with white hair and a youthful face trick him? Or was it some kind of sinister plot?
Would Jingqiu not wake up?
Though Dongbo Xueying’s reason told him that such an existence would not stoop to tricking him, he was still anxious because of his concern. Looking at his sleeping wife, Dongbo Xueying felt very nervous, his heart beating rapidly.
“Please wake up, wake up soon.” Dongbo Xueying eagerly waited. Suddenly, he felt a bit dazed from losing half of his soul essence, but he kept his eyes fixed on his wife.
Jingqiu lay there, her face serene, as if she were asleep. Her skin was like white jade, everything so beautiful.
Suddenly, her eyelashes fluttered, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
Looking into his wife’s eyes.
“Xueying?” Jingqiu murmured groggily. “This… what is this…?”
Dongbo Xueying was overjoyed and smiled. He felt as if everything in the entire world had suddenly become colorful, the colors much more vivid. Even the distant white clouds in the sky now felt warm. The dirty snow on the ground that had been stepped on seemed to carry the fragrance of the earth. The whole world was completely different because Jingqiu had woken up.
Jingqiu reached out and wiped away Dongbo Xueying’s tears. “Crying and laughing again.”
“Nothing, can’t I just be happy?” Dongbo Xueying hugged Jingqiu.
“How come I’m not dead? I remember I…” Yu Jingqiu was still a bit dazed.
“Dead? You still have to give me a bunch of kids!”
