I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 284 Bai's Choice!

Chen Yuer was immediately shocked when he saw this woman.

Having grown up to be a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, she is now a figure of considerable skill and experience, unmatched by many in the entire Great Qian World.

But... she had never seen such a woman with such elegance.

I instinctively felt that this person was Bai Yujing.

"Is it Master Bai?"

Chen Yuer walked over and bowed with her hands clasped in greeting.

The woman stood alone on the island's rocks, her hands behind her back. A gentle breeze ruffled the hem of her skirt, and her silver hair danced wildly.

Hearing the voice, the woman slowly turned around and saw Chen Yuer.

He smiled slightly and said, "You are now a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, so there's no need to address me like that. Just call me Fellow Daoist."

Although they called each other "fellow Daoist," Chen Yu'er dared not actually call them that. He took it as the other party's modesty.

After all, even from a great distance, Chen Yu'er could sense the extraordinary spiritual energy emanating from this woman. In comparison, she herself seemed as insignificant as dust.

"I have long admired Master Bai, and now that I have the honor of meeting you in person, I dare not presume to address you as such."

Bai Yujing chuckled softly, "Whatever you say. How is the situation in Beiliang?"

Eh.

Chen Yuer let out a long sigh, feeling extremely uneasy. Recalling everything she had seen and heard along the way, a wave of sorrow washed over her, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"Ten thousand miles of scorched earth, mountains of withered bones. Few living people to be seen."

Bai Yujing had clearly anticipated these events and was not surprised.

Even knowing that countless people had died, he didn't feel much sadness, only saying, "This grotto-heaven world is most likely doomed. It's good that you came here."

Chen Yuer walked over and asked, "Master Bai left me a letter. What are your instructions?"

Bai Yujing stared at the vast Milky Way stretching across the sky and earth, lost in thought for a long time before murmuring, "It's nothing important. I'm just feeling a bit sentimental, and I just want to find someone to chat with, to talk to, and to let more people know the truth about this world."

Having said that, she slowly walked down the reef, and with a wave of her right hand, took out two talismans from her storage bag and handed them to Chen Yu'er. "These two talismans can help you save your life. If used properly, they can withstand two attacks from Foundation Establishment cultivators." Chen Yu'er examined the talismans and felt that the spiritual energy within them was surging and extremely rich. The runes inscribed on them were also exceptionally exquisite, confirming that Bai Yujing's words were true.

After thanking him, Chen Yuer carefully accepted the two talismans. "Emperor Jingtai, you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Bai Yujing said, "Logically speaking, the spiritual energy in this world is thin, making it impossible to establish a foundation. However, Emperor Jingtai was possessed and reincarnated by the Martial Ancestor. As the supervisor of this grotto-heaven, he can use the beings in this world to forge his foundation. He can be considered the only foundation-establishing cultivator in this world."

After saying that, Bai Yujing coughed softly.

Chen Yuer could tell that she was seriously injured.

He's just putting on a brave face.

In the distance, the Milky Way rolls on, and a fierce wind howls.

Seeing this, Chen Yu'er felt anxious. She took a deep breath and asked, "Master Bai has fought against the Martial Ancestor. Can you find a way to deal with the Martial Ancestor?"

Bai Yujing did not answer directly, but instead explained the Martial Ancestor's plan in detail, finally saying, "I am just a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining. It would be good enough if I could survive against a Foundation Establishment cultivator. What way do I have to fight back... cough cough cough."

She coughed again. "I sacrificed a clone technique to escape. Now I'm on my last legs, and time is running out. Even if I'm reluctant to leave this world, there's nothing I can do. I did leave a letter, though."

She took out the letter and handed it to Chen Yuer, saying, "Stop resisting. Go to Kongsang City. Perhaps you can live a few more days there."

Chen Yu'er asked sadly, "Master Bai, where are you going?"

Bai Yujing gazed at the distant, rolling Milky Way, "When I was young, I found the opportunity in Kongsang City, and it took me hundreds of years to get to where I am today. When I learned that this world was a celestial realm, my greatest wish was to go out and see it. But I couldn't sever my ties to the mortal world, and I couldn't let go of my attachments. I wandered around and never had the determination to take that step. Now that I'm exhausted, it's finally fulfilling my wish."

Chen Yuer suddenly realized something, looked up at the rolling Milky Way, and saw that it was churning and thundering, almost like the end of the world.

How could a Qi Refining stage cultivator possibly overcome such power of heaven and earth?

Just as Chen Yu'er was in a daze, Bai Yujing spoke up, "If you are fortunate enough to see my disciple Xie An again, please tell him that meeting this disciple in this life is my good fortune. Many things in life are either successful or unsuccessful; you can't force them. If I can still live, we will meet again someday. If I die here, it is my own fate. Tell him not to be sad."

Having said that, Bai Yujing did not hesitate any longer. A magical artifact appeared beneath his feet, and he stepped on it, transforming into a rainbow of light that traversed the sky and sped into the vast Heavenly River Thunder.

In Chen Yu'er's sight, she saw the white figure weaving through the thunderous waves, repeatedly being repelled and severely injured, yet still speeding away.

His heart is like a blade, and he will not rest until death!
