Perfect World: Sword of Legends

Chapter 146 Goodbye, God

"That's not the case. Don't talk nonsense and make random guesses. If you talk nonsense about that adult, it will cause disaster!"

The middle-aged man quickly shouted at everyone to stop talking nonsense.

Seeing the middle-aged man's serious and solemn look, everyone fell silent.

"Remember, that lord is not simple, and we cannot guess what he is. If you don't believe me, you can come and pay me a visit. But I want to remind you, don't just stare at the three words 'Zhengtian Palace'."

The middle-aged man gave these people careful instructions, then turned and left.

Looking at the middle-aged man's departing back, those people looked at each other, somewhat confused.

"Didn't he even see the person? Why is he speaking for that person like this? Also, why can't he just stare at the three words 'Zhengtian Temple'?"

As these questions arose in their minds, they all subconsciously looked towards the top of the mountain, feeling even more mysterious.

Over the following period of time, people kept coming to deliver invitations, all of them were famous families and clans in Imperial Guanzhong.

However, they didn’t meet the person and the invitations were not sent out.

As for those who came to deliver the invitations, when they went back, their expressions changed drastically and some were terrified, as if they had seen something terrible outside the Zhengtian Palace.

Fortunately, no one fell down the stairs for no apparent reason like the people from the Wei family.

For a time, Zhengtian Palace became mysterious in the eyes of many people, and Yun Ying, too, became an unfathomable existence. Whenever it was mentioned, people would keep it secret and only mention it briefly.

"Who exactly is that Elder Yun?"

"According to the information I got from Meng Huo, it seems that he came from Wuliangtian and is an elder of Tianshen Academy, so he is called Elder Yun."

"The God Academy? Could it be the academy that was established in Wuliangtian two years ago, led by Senior Meng, and recruited the most powerful geniuses from the ancient worlds of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?"

"Since Elder Yun is an elder of the Heavenly God Academy, why didn't he stay in the Heavenly God Academy to teach the disciples, but came here instead? From what I know, those disciples should have reached a critical moment."

……

That day, Yun Ying summoned Meng Huo and asked him to find someone.

"Elder Yun, who are you looking for?"

Meng Huo was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there would be someone Yun Ying knew in the Imperial City. This should be her first time here.

"I am from the Celestial Clan. The person I want you to help me find is the ancient ancestor of my clan. He came here several years ago to fulfill the ancient covenant. I don't know if the ancestor is still alive."

"If the ancestor is still here, bring him to see me."

Yunying explained.

Hearing Yun Ying say this, Meng Huo immediately understood and nodded, "No problem, I'll go look for him right away. If he's still alive, I should be able to find him soon."

There are many races in Diguan, but there are only a few powerful races. Races like the Celestials are still rare here, and once they appear, they can be easily found.

Two hours later, Meng Huo returned to Zhengtian Palace with an old man.

This old man is none other than the ancestor of the Celestial Clan, the old Celestial Being. He is still alive and no longer looks like his blood is drying up. Instead, he seems to be in his prime.

The strange thing is that his cultivation is still at the peak of the Kill Me Realm and has not broken through to the Escape First Realm.

In this case, he used some special means to restore his blood and vitality.

At this moment, Lao Tianren followed Meng Huo here, his expression full of confusion. He was very curious about who wanted to see him.

When he arrived outside the palace gate and looked up to see the three big characters "Zhengtian Palace", a solemn look immediately emerged on his old face, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

"Fellow Daoist, which senior wants to see me?"

The old man looked away and asked Meng Huo.

He was a dying man, and no one in the Imperial Pass was on good terms with him. He really didn't understand who would want to see him, an old man who was about to pass away.

"Fellow Daoist, don't worry. When you see it, you will understand it naturally."

Meng Huo said with a smile.

It was really hard for him to imagine that a declining tribe could actually give birth to such an enchanting being, who at such a young age had already stood among the strong.

Even this old celestial being, an ancient ancestor of the celestial race, was surpassed.

When this old celestial being sees Elder Yun later, he will probably be so shocked that his eyeballs will fall out.

Thinking of this, the smile on Meng Huo's face became more intense.

In the wide hall, a sacred purple figure sat cross-legged on the platform. Around her, wisps of sword light were wandering, colorful and seemingly tiny, but containing terrifying sword power.

Footsteps were heard, and Meng Huo walked in with the old man.

"Elder Yun, the person you are looking for is here."

Meng Huo stopped and bowed towards the figure above the hall.

Behind him, Lao Tianren looked forward and felt a fierce aura rushing towards him, making the hairs on his body stand on end.

He looked at the strands of sword light floating in the air, each of which brought him a fatal threat. He was horrified. Which senior could be so frightening with the sword?
But then he was shocked because he saw the man's face.

At the same time, Yun Ying also opened her eyes. Her deep eyes made the hall darken for a moment, as if two suns appeared out of nowhere.

"Ancestor, long time no see."

An ethereal voice sounded, very peacefully, echoing throughout the hall.

All the sword lights disappeared, and Yun Ying's figure flashed and appeared in front of Meng Huo and Lao Tianren.

"Elder Yun, the person has been brought here. I will take my leave now."

Meng Huo bowed, turned around and walked out.

At this time, the old man looked at the person in front of him, and his old face was filled with shock, which took a long time to fade away.

"Xiao Yunying, it's really you!"

After a long while, the God finally uttered these words slowly.

He felt that he had used up all his strength to say this. He really didn't expect that the senior who wanted to see him would be Yun Ying.

Although Yun Ying has changed a lot compared to a few years ago, her appearance has not changed much, especially the purple clothes and even her terrifying swordsmanship.

Otherwise, God really wouldn't believe that the woman in front of him was Yun Ying.

In just a few years, Yun Ying has grown to such a terrifying state.

She was extremely beautiful and charming, and seemed invincible. Just standing there, she was like an unrivaled supreme being, looking down upon the heavens and the earth.

Lao Tianren's body trembled slightly, and no one knew whether it was because of shock, surprise or excitement. Anyway, his mood at the moment was extremely complicated.

"It's me, ancestor,"

Yunying smiled slightly.

The aroma of tea wafted in the air, and Yunying and Lao Tianren sat opposite each other and talked about some things.

The old man in heaven was extremely impressed and happy that Yunying had reached such a level in such a short time.

Although he had long expected that Yun Ying would be the hope of the Celestials and would lead them to a brighter future, he did not expect it to happen so soon, so soon that he felt like he was dreaming.

"Xiao Yunying, now that the Celestial Clan has you, I, the ancestor, feel relieved." The old celestial said with relief.

He didn't know how long he could hold on. He had originally planned to look for an opportunity to break through outside the Imperial Pass after arriving there, but to no avail.

If the great master of alchemy in Emperor Guanzhong had not given him the life-extending elixir, he would have already passed away like the War Emperor.

However, relying on elixirs to prolong life is not a long-term solution after all; it is just drinking poison to quench thirst.

Therefore, God is destined to pass away one day, and it won’t be long, at most he can only live another ten years or so.

He was originally worried about whether Yunying and his generation would be able to grow up successfully after he and the Protector passed away one after another.

Now it seems that there is nothing to worry about.

Looking at the old celestial being, Yun Ying sighed in her heart. How could she not see that the old celestial being's potential had been exhausted and there was no possibility for him to break through to the first level of escape.

Unless one can find the Hedao Flower for him and allow him to live again against the will of heaven, otherwise, the ending is already determined.

Moreover, this era is about to end, the heaven and earth will undergo great changes, and the entire nine heavens and ten earths will enter the cruel Dharma Ending Age.

The way of heaven cuts off all living things with one sword, and no one can escape except the immortals.

Beings like Lao Tianren who have lived for such a long time will be the first to be hit and will pass away directly. There is no other possibility.

Thinking of this, Yun Ying raised her hand, and a small jade bottle appeared in her palm.

"Ancestor, this is a fruit of the elixir of immortality, which is equivalent to two drops of elixir of immortality, and can extend your life."

Yunying gave a gentle push and the small jade bottle fell in front of the old celestial being.

The old man in heaven looked at the small jade bottle, which contained a fruit with a glowing purple light. The fruit was only the size of a thumb, and was surrounded by fairy air, emitting the sacred light of the fairy way.

"This... is this the fruit of the elixir of immortality?!"

Yun Ying's words echoed in his mind, exploding like thunder, shocking the old man.

He had lived for so long, but had never seen what the real elixir of life looked like, but Yun Ying took out the fruit of the elixir of life to prolong his life.

Even those immortal families don't have such a big hand.

The old man was shocked for a long time before he came to his senses.

"Xiao Yunying, thank you. It would be a waste for the old ancestor to use such a good thing. You should keep it and leave it to someone who needs it more."

"When the ancestor sees your current achievements, he no longer has too many concerns in his heart. From ancient times to the present, the ancestor has really lived long enough and lived enough."

"From now on, the old ancestor will no longer need to use any life-extending items. Just let the old ancestor pass away naturally."

As he spoke, the old man pushed the small jade bottle back with a kind and free-spirited smile on his face.

Seeing the smile on the face of the celestial being, Yun Ying nodded slightly, said nothing more, and put away the small jade bottle.

Half an hour later, the old man left.

Although Yunying asked him to stay here to practice, Lao Tianren refused because he didn't want to affect Yunying's practice.

"Master, he doesn't seem to have anything left to remember."

After the old man left, Xiao Zi's voice rang out.

"Yes, the old ancestor has nothing to remember. From the ancient times to the present, nearly an era has passed. For the sake of the Celestial Race, he has managed to hold on until now. It is not easy."

Yun Ying stood tall, her purple clothes fluttering slightly, her deep eyes penetrated the palace wall and saw the old figure.

People also need support to live, it can be desire, belief, or even a breath.

When a person lets go of everything completely, it means that he is ready to face death.

A month passed quietly.

In the hall, Yun Ying sat cross-legged on the Taoist platform. The aura emanating from her became increasingly terrifying, reaching an extreme level.

Kill me at the peak of my realm!
The next moment, the pair of eyes opened, and a glazed light was like sunlight, instantly filling the entire hall.

"It's time to find a place outside the pass to break through."

Yunying's figure floated up and slowly landed on the ground.

It has been nearly three months since she came to Diguan. She has been staying indoors all the time and has rejected all invitations.

Soon, she called Meng Huo and said, "I have to go outside the Great Wall for an undetermined time. I will leave Zhengtian Palace to you."

"Please rest assured, Elder Yun."

Meng Huo didn't ask any more questions and just nodded.

After explaining the matter, Yun Ying left Zhengtian Palace.

Outside the Great Wall, the vast Gobi Desert stretches as far as the eye can see, and the bloody sunset hangs in the sky, bright red and enchanting.

There is a river flowing on the ground where no grass grows. The water is bright red, as if blood is flowing. You can also smell the strong smell of blood, which is very creepy.

One can even see countless skeletons tumbling in the bright red river water, all of which belong to those powerful men who have passed away.

This boundless desert is the battlefield between the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the foreign land. From the ancient times of immortals to the present, countless creatures from both worlds are buried here.

Soon, a graceful figure came from the air, with purple clothes fluttering in the wind.

Yun Ying was holding an old animal skin map in her hand, on which were drawn various areas outside the Great Wall. Although it was not very detailed, it basically covered most of the places.

"The Divine Medicine Mountain Range, the Heavenly Beast Forest, the Lost Sea, the Ancient Burial Area..."

Looking at the words marked on the animal skin map, Yun Ying fell into deep thought.

None of these places outside the pass are simple; they are all extremely dangerous. Even the most powerful beings from both worlds dare not enter them rashly and need to be adequately prepared.

These can be said to be forbidden areas, containing countless secrets and opportunities.

Whether it is the nine heavens and ten earths, or foreign lands, people are extremely eager for the secrets and creations within these places.

It’s just that the immortals from foreign lands cannot come over, and there are no true immortals in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, so both sides can only stare at each other helplessly.

"Master, where are we going?"

Xiao Zi asked curiously.

Yun Ying thought about it and fixed her eyes on a place on the animal skin map, the Lost Sea.

This place is not far from Diguan and is famous for its weirdness. As the name suggests, any living creature that enters it will basically get lost and eventually disappear.

From ancient times to the present, the number of creatures that have entered the Lost Sea and returned safely is less than one hand.

It can be said that the Lost Sea is the most mysterious and dangerous forbidden area outside the Great Wall, even more terrifying than the Divine Medicine Mountains and the Heavenly Beast Forest.

At least if you go to the Divine Medicine Mountains and the Heavenly Beast Forest, the possibility of coming back alive is not low. But it is different in the Lost Sea. Once you go there, you will never come back and even your body will be left.

In the Imperial Pass, there are very few records about the Lost Sea, almost none at all.

Because those who had gone in to explore before had never come back, no one knew whether they were dead or alive.

Afterwards, naturally no one dared to go to the Lost Sea anymore. People were also very secretive about the Lost Sea and wouldn’t even talk about it.
