In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone.

Chapter 405 Chapter 405-1 Listening to Langlang telling stories from the past
It all happened so fast.

Hei Yao appeared and attacked, breaking Wang Jixuan's formation with a spear, injuring Wang Jixuan;
Until Wang Jixuan used his last trump card to burn the remaining Mahayana soul, he could eliminate all powerful enemies on the earth in the time of an incense stick, kill the pillar blade beasts, and destroy a large number of spiritual practitioners.

Unfortunately, what came from Hei Yao was just a clone.

Wang Jixuan could only curse Hei Yao lightly, preventing Hei Yao from doing evil for a short period of time.

Then, he "opened up" Amina's mind, removed the restrictions on the core circuit, and healed Nilda Tamon's injuries, allowing this conservative spiritual practitioner to return to his peak strength.

By the way, he went to visit Old Fu and asked Fu Jian to press the button to kill the six elders.

The Six Elders were actually high-level spirit slaves trained by Sabina. After his initial cooperation with the Council of Wings of Light, Wang Jixuan had been resisting the urge to kill the Six Elders to avoid deteriorating his relationship with Nilda Tamon and Sabina.

We just need to use each other, we have no choice.

But after Wang Jixuan burned the remnant soul of the Mahayana, he suddenly lost all regard for these spiritual practitioners.

At once……

After understanding the background of guys like Obsidian, I feel that they are not worthy of being my enemies at all.

My only opponents are heavenly tribulation and the way of heaven.

Probably that's it.

He arranged everything in a short time, and then followed the memories that popped up in his mind and rushed to the Cloud City.

There are no obstacles and no sense of nothingness.

When Wang Jixuan rushed here and saw He Ruli, he was filled with mixed emotions.

then……

He Ruli threw away her disguise and became a white-haired old man. Her facial features were 90% similar to his, but she didn't give him the feeling of "this is me".

Like two people;
It's more like a person develops two temperaments due to different experiences.

Wang Jixuan couldn't help but swear.

The old man sitting there smiled and shook his head, saying "scheming against all living beings".

The Taoist priest suddenly understood;
But even though he understood it, the emotions deep in his heart became more complicated.

The power of the residual soul of the Mahayana period quietly disappeared. Wang Jixuan stood there in a daze. He felt severe pain on his body. The sound of all souls crying rang in his mind. The mark of the Demon Lord on his forehead seemed to condense again, but was gently wiped away by a touch of green light.

He smiled bitterly, as if he had lost all his strength, and sat cross-legged in front of the old man.

The old man raised his hand slightly, and a beam of green light fell. The backlash from Wang Jixuan's refining of the sea of ​​​​resentful spirits and the pain of his body being impacted by powerful spiritual power were temporarily suppressed.

The old man said gently: "You must have a lot of questions, but I don't have much to tell you."

"why?"

Wang Jixuan's voice sounded more helpless:
“No matter how important becoming an immortal is, it is our own business, why should we involve others?

"Moreover, you created blade beasts and killed so many humans, and this is just one Earth. Have you found the path to becoming an immortal? Do you see the hope of becoming an immortal?"

The old man sighed: "I didn't create the blade beast."

Wang Jixuan was speechless for a moment.

The old man said slowly: "When I say calculating all living beings, I actually want to find a suitable opportunity for the residual soul to live a third life."

"So the basis for the birth of the third life is that you devoured several batches of souls sent by Hei Yao and others every thousand years?"

"Yes."

The old man confessed:

"Of course I would not avoid this matter. I was too weak at the time."

"I was wondering," Wang Jixuan laughed bitterly, "How could a person who is an opponent of an ancient civilization have the means to refine souls for his own use?"

“I didn’t make up the opposition, it’s just that the administrator here has long passed away.”

The old man said:
"I regained consciousness about twelve thousand years ago.

"After the second catastrophe, I am completely exhausted..."

"What happened?" Wang Jixuan's eyes became sharp. "What happened in the heavenly tribulation? The first time I overcame the tribulation, I was only one step away from becoming an immortal. Why did I prepare so much and for so long the second time, but still lost?"

The old man sighed and said, "I'll tell you this later. Please be patient with me in my third life."

Wang Jixuan was silent.

The old man continued to talk about his experience:

“After the second catastrophe, I was completely exhausted. Although I had this precious stone of the past and various rare treasures I had prepared before, which allowed me to barely survive, it was extremely difficult for me to rebuild.

“Plus, I failed to survive the calamity, and the opposition within the Ina civilization rose. Civil unrest and war broke out. Without the support of the Ina civilization, I soon fell into a deep sleep and died little by little in my sleep.

“I thought this was the end of my two lives of cultivation.

"But, unexpectedly, this Stone of the Past awakened me, and the spiritual power that I had injected into it in order to refine it became the nourishment for my awakening."

There was a hint of reminiscence in the old man's eyes.

Wang Jixuan listened patiently without interrupting.

He was actually more concerned about the problems that arose during the second catastrophe.

The old man, the wanderer of the three realms continued:
“Initially, I didn’t think about reincarnation or continuing to live.

“The endless sleep, the almost boundless darkness and loneliness, corroded my once steadfast body.

“But I am unwilling to succumb to fate.

“So I lived.

“In the beginning, I slowly took over the Cloud City. I participated in the production of all the psychic technologies here, and I am very familiar with them.

“Later, I sensed the different ruins left by other Ina civilizations in this star field through the Cloud City. Some of those ruins contained some formations that could be operated.

"I'm waiting for someone who's meant to be to me."

"Obsidian?" Wang Jixuan asked softly.

"Yes, but at the beginning I had no choice but to pass on some information about ancient civilizations to spiritual practitioners passing by the ruins, and then wait for time to ferment."

The old man smiled and said:

"It's just like fishing, if you cast a wide net, you'll always find a useful fish.

“Obsidian is this fish.

“He was lost, frustrated, and confused, so I used the guidance of ancient civilization to cheer him up again. I needed him to bring me a fresh soul so that I could regain some of my strength.

“So, when Hei Yao first arrived on Earth, I gave him many benefits.

"On the one hand, these benefits can help Obsidian grow stronger and get me more souls.

"On the other hand, I discovered that Black Obsidian hated the spiritual civilization itself, and had an indescribable hatred for those corrupt and degenerate spiritual practitioners.

"The technology I gave him will help him win over people and build up his power. He will take revenge on the entire spiritual civilization, which will also be considered as achieving my second goal."

"Revenge against the spiritual civilization?" Wang Jixuan was puzzled. The old man sighed, "Although I don't have much sense of belonging to the Ina civilization, this is where I once lived and the people here are friendly to me... Do you know how the Ina civilization was defeated in the end?"

"how?"

“There are three stages to this.”

The old man pointed his finger:

“The first stage was after I failed to overcome the calamity. After a thousand years of preparation, the opposition united with foreign enemies and launched a war against the main body of the Ina civilization in the Cloud City.

“The battle you saw in Gao Huating’s mind originated from this.

“The result of this war was that the opposition was wiped out, the Ina civilization suffered heavy losses, and the major civilizations that besieged the Ina civilization suffered even more severe losses.

"In the second stage, the Ina civilization sent out a large number of spiritual practitioners...

“I know you might ask, this is different from the history of spirituality you know.

“It is obvious that the first spiritualists falsified this part of history.

“In fact, spiritual practitioners were sent to the battlefield as a product of experiment. Several of my spiritual servants were responsible for manufacturing batches of core circuits, allowing the core circuits to resonate with humans, thus giving birth to new war weapons.

"The mission of the spiritualist troop was to eliminate the ancient civilizations that besieged the Ina civilization. They did it almost easily, and then, this troop rebelled...

“That’s the third phase.

"After a tragic war, the Cloud City was forced to move from the surface to underground, and the entrance and exit were blocked. The tens of thousands of people who remained here spent the rest of their lives guarding my remaining soul in great misery and self-blame.

"They can't even reproduce because several spiritual practitioners used the core circuit to curse them, and my spiritual servants also died in the war."

The old man sighed:

“So, I want to destroy spiritual civilization.

"The method is to cultivate Black Obsidian's hatred for spiritual practitioners, and at the same time give Black Obsidian enough technology to destroy spiritual civilization.

"If the spiritual civilization was at its peak, with the first batch of spiritual practitioners as ruthless and decisive, Black Obsidian would not have been able to succeed, but this civilization has already been corrupted."

Wang Jixuan asked: "Although what I said may be a bit hypocritical, after all, I have killed many people, but... have you ever considered the hundreds of billions of intelligent life forms that have died on the affected planets?"

"Thinked about it."

The old man nodded:
“I am not denying my sins.

“So I severed all ties with my third life and started over from scratch.

"So you can righteously call me a murderous demon here.

"But if you think about it from another perspective, I just accelerated their destruction, and the pain period of destruction must cause a large number of casualties. The only difference is the time before and after."

Wang Jixuan: "I feel like you are more possessed than I am... Do you still remember what chivalry is?"

The old man was silent.

Wang Jixuan asked again: "Do you still remember what the right path is?"

"Then do you remember?"

“I remember,” Wang Jixuan’s Adam’s apple trembled up and down, “I burned the remnant soul of the Mahayana instead of hiding back. My only thought was that I could let these hundreds of millions of people live… even if it was just for half a year, a year, or several decades longer!”

The old man smiled and said, "Isn't it good that you remember? I am just a self-exiled past belonging to the cultivator Wang Jixuan. Although you have to bear the responsibility for what I did, it will not affect your Taoism too much. After all, we survived, right?"

Wang Jixuan: ...

The old man sighed softly: "You haven't heard me finish. Ye Zi is really beyond my expectations. I really didn't expect that she would be so obsessed with the so-called big brother. Her mental state is not normal."

Wang Jixuan asked: "Why did you give him the outer golden elixir path?"

"To ensure that you will reach the Cloud City at some point."

The old man looked at Wang Jixuan:
"Gao Huating is a chess piece, Ye Zi is also a chess piece, and Hei Yao is also a chess piece.

“My plan has no steps, only four words: take advantage of the situation.

“And what I have to do is to wait quietly for my third life to become famous and stand out. Then I will just use the dozen or so chess pieces I have prepared in advance to arouse your curiosity.

“Gao Huating is indeed the remaining soul of the leader of the Ina civilization, but she was also revived in the Stone of the Past. This is also a wonderful coincidence.

"I originally thought... because of your memory, which was the continuation of your first failed tribulation, I subconsciously thought that you would be like me and choose to be more promiscuous, so I trained her to be a perfect partner.

"It's a pity that you didn't behave yourself. Instead, you are as conservative as before. After choosing Ling Tong, you started to immerse yourself in her.

“That’s pretty good too.

"This way, there will be fewer causes and consequences, and you will have fewer concerns when you go through the heavenly tribulation."

Wang Jixuan closed his eyes and sighed: "Forget it, I am who I am. The Black Storm will make up for the mistakes made by the Three Realms Wanderer one by one."

"There's actually nothing to make up for. You don't owe the world anything."

The old man shrugged:

“In the final analysis, I only did two things wrong.

"One is the deal with Hei Yao. In order to restore my strength, I devoured the soul power of more than 20,000 intelligent beings.

“One was to lay out a plan, and pass down the external alchemy to Posa Ye Zi, which was considered as aiding and abetting the evil, allowing her to have the power to bully the weak… although before that, she was already a spiritual practitioner.

"Besides that, what else did I do? The part about lying to you... isn't lying to you just lying to myself? What's wrong with self-deception?"

Wang Jixuan was so angry that he laughed.

Okay, okay, in my second life I am still a master of sophistry.

"Well, no matter what, destroying the Blade Beasts and killing the Obsidian forces is also my next goal."

Wang Jixuan said calmly:

“I can’t let go of anyone who wants to kill me.

"Master once said that what one cultivates is the Way, not the Dharma. However, the Dharma is used to protect the Way.

"How are you going to deal with it afterwards? I can't possibly be a part of you."

The old man smiled calmly: "The second life is already in the past. I will become a part of the Stone of the Past and comprehend the secrets of the Stone of the Past."

"Its secret?"

Wang Jixuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly.

He said: "This thing is indeed very unusual, I don't know where it came from."

The old man said: "There are two possibilities. Either it is the fairyland, or it is a higher plane of the same level as the fairyland."

"Does the advanced plane really exist?"

"It exists," the old man said softly, "The Ina civilization once tried to ascend collectively. They glimpsed that world. I once survived nine levels of heavenly tribulation, plus one level of heavenly punishment, a total of ten levels. I once stood in front of the Immortal Gate, and then... a finger pointed from the Immortal Gate, and I fell."

Wang Jixuan concentrated slightly.

what's the situation?
Nine levels of heavenly calamity and one level of heavenly punishment?
But he was killed by a finger from the immortal gate?
