Chapter 645: Chapter 645 – Yiu Ruo

Bai An was revisiting his old place inside the Eternal Dynasty. After hearing the news, many of Bai An’s old friends came out of their seclusion to the outside world. The old man before him was one of them.

The old man looked old, but he still exuded an inexplicable majesty, making people feel awe-inspiring at first glance., like a peerless emperor. This old man was undoubtedly very powerful. His strength had long reached the Demigod Stage.

The current emperor beside Bai An hurried forward and greeted him, revealing his identity, “Ancestor.”

He was the old emperor of the Eternal Dynasty. This old man was a prodigy of the same generation as Bai An, who had become the emperor of that generation. He was a chosen of his generation, and his reputation was even higher than Bai An in the past. However, he had grown old with the vicissitudes of time and had become who he was today.

“Your appearance hasn’t changed much, still look the same as you did in the past. How nice.” The old emperor walked out from his secluded meditation and welcomed Bai An and couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at Bai An’s unchanged appearance.

Thousands of years had passed. The people of that generation had long since withered and turned into ghastly white bones. However, Bai An was still young. His Qi Blood was so powerful, and his aura had reached its peak. His appearance didn’t look any different from before, as young as ever.

“It’s just a look.” Facing the old emperor’s words, Bai An only smiled and said, “Many years have passed in the blink of an eye. You and I have grown old.”

“That’s right.” The old emperor sighed and nodded.

The current emperor and the family leader of the Bai Family followed respectfully at the side and quietly lowered their heads to guide him without saying anything else.

Bai An and the old emperor chatted, though their relationship might not have been that good back then. After all, they were both well-known Heavenly Gifted Individuals back then. They were more or less unconvinced of each other and had even competed for a time.

However, the past was no longer critical as time passed. Now that the two of them were talking, it was more like an interesting, casually told story. The grudges that were sealed in the past would eventually dissipate with time and became topics of laughter. The two of them talked about many things, in terms of cultivation and some interesting things from the past.

“After the news of you going into seclusion spread, I stepped down from my position as emperor and entered seclusion too to complete my breakthrough.” The old emperor chatted casually, looking at Bai An. Then, he talked about him going into seclusion back then and couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s a pity that I still haven’t reached this level even now.” A self-deprecating look appeared on his face.

The two were rivals back then. The old emperor also regarded Bai An as his benchmark and wouldn’t allow himself to fall behind Bai An. Therefore, when the news that Bai An was about to break through to the Demigod realm spread, he immediately stepped down from his position as emperor and entered the exclusive closed-door cultivation area of the royal family to seek a breakthrough. It had been thousands of years since then.

After thousands of years, Bai An had advanced to the Heavenly Venerate domain and reached another level. However, the old emperor was still in the Demigod realm and had just reached its peak. He was still a little bit away from the next level.

Bai An looked at the old emperor and felt his aura, and couldn’t help but sigh, didn’t know what to say. Cultivation was a challenging thing to do.

Every step was challenging, from the initial Qi Refinement Stage to the Nascent Transformation Stage to the Demigod Stage. Even with sufficient resources to support it, if one were careless, one would die, and his Dao would vanish, leaving behind a lifelong regret.

This was the case for the old emperor before him. An accident occurred when he was undergoing his enlightenment, damaging his Dao Foundation. It would still be challenging to make up for it even if he used thousands of years and could only waste his time at this level.

The old emperor’s talent was astonishing, and he was on par with Bai An back then. They were both Heavenly Gifted Individuals, so there was not much of a gap between them in terms of aptitude, talent, comprehension, and other aspects. They were all on the same level.

As for resources and support, it was needless to mention. He was the emperor of the Eternal Dynasty and the core of the royal family back then. Hence, the support he received was much more than Bai An. All of his requests could be met immediately.

However, he had still come to this point, although he did not lack the aptitude, talent, resources, and other things. One wrong step had caused him to lose the entire game.

The difficulty of cultivation was apparent. Bai An proclaimed that he probably would not be able to cultivate to this level without the ancient sword in his hand, always guiding him on his path of cultivation and correcting his course.

“Cultivation…” Bai An could not help but sigh, thinking of his current cultivation and past acquaintances did not know what to say in the end.

He toured the Eternal Dynasty for a few days before bidding farewell. He used the means of a Heavenly Venerate to make up for the old emperor’s Dao Foundation, resolving his shortcomings.

The old emperor had been stuck at the current level because there had been a problem with his cultivation, and his foundation had been lacking. Now that his foundation had been made up, the obstacles that had prevented him from moving forward had disappeared.

The old emperor was also very surprised. Before saying goodbye, he expressed his gratitude to Bai An, saying he would try to breakthrough. Bai An expressed his blessings to him, although he did not think highly of the old emperor in his heart.

After all, it was already too late. The old emperor’s blood aura was declining, and the aura of his divine spirit was no longer there. He was no longer in his prime. Under such circumstances, the probability of him succeeding in breaking through was very low, even if his foundation was repaired.

Moreover, so what if he was lucky enough to breakthrough? With the old emperor’s current situation, he probably could not block the Heavenly Catastrophe that followed, unable to overcome the vast Heavenly Catastrophe. Overall, the probability of success was very, very low. However, Chen Heng did not say anything and just silently wished for his success.

In this world, everyone had their own choices, and they could decide what they wanted to do. And for people like them, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they would never give up and continue to walk unswervingly. It was also why Bai An could reach his current level, or else he would have given up long ago. The old emperor was the same type of person as Bai An.

After bidding farewell to the old emperor, Bai An left the Eternal Dynasty and headed out. He was prepared to tour around and explore some of the scenery in this world.

There were many wastelands in this world, and many of them contained great natural creations and dangers, which some even Bai An had no confidence in entering.

Bai Ane toured around, comprehending the aura within these dangerous lands in the next few decades. He silently honed his Dao Foundation, wanting to make it stronger as he prepared for further progress.

Finally, he met a familiar person outside the wasteland. It was a woman in a long white dress. She lived in a wooden house outside the wasteland. She walked out of the house and greeted Bai An with a smile when he arrived.

“Miss Yiu Ruo?” Bai An looked at the woman and finally revealed her identity, looking somewhat shocked.

Before him, the young woman was none other than Yiu Ruo, born in the Zhou family. Back then, she had invited Bai An and the others to come and help her escape from the Zhou family to avoid her father’s arrangements. After that, she had also told Bai An the truth about her father’s death, leading her to enter the Eternal Dynasty.

Bai An had never seen Yiu Ruo ever since they had parted. He thought this somewhat mysterious woman had already fallen after many years. He had never expected to see her again in this place.

This was indeed shocking, as more than six thousand years had passed. After such an extended period, the people of the same generation as Bai An had died to the point that not even their bones were left. How could anyone continue to live?

You Ruo had done it. You Ruo was still the same as before, compared to the old emperor. She looked like a beautiful young girl and had not changed much. Time seemed to have never left a single trace on her body. She was still the same as before.

“Your cultivation base…” Streams of divine light flowed within Bai An’s eyes as he looked at Yiu Ruo as if he wanted to see through her.

According to common sense, there were not many things in this world that Bai An could not see-through at the Heavenly Venerate level. Even the so-called Earth Heavenly Weapon could not conceal its foundation and would be seen through by him.

However, Bai An still felt a haze when he looked at Yiu Ruo before him. Some deep-level things concealed her nature and did not allow Bai An to succeed. Even so, he had seen through her cultivation base. She had broken through the Demigod Stage and was half-step towards the Heavenly Venerate level.

Bai An couldn’t help but be shocked. He knew how difficult it was to break through from the Demigod Stage to a higher level. If it weren’t for the support of the ancient sword in his hand back then, allowing him to walk out at the critical moment, he doubted whether he could complete that step and truly reach this level.

Comparatively speaking, she was not well-known for her talent back then, but she has also reached this level.
