The Earth Is My Dantian - Chapter 492
Chapter 492: Chapter 37, Old Xuanwu’s reason (fourth update)
Ye Sheng was not the least bit ashamed of his own words.
If you let someone else face this old monster who had lived for 20,000 years, their legs would definitely go soft, and they might even wet themselves in fear.
The might of old Xuanwu was not something that an ordinary person could withstand. Only someone as powerful as ye Sheng could stand up straight.
So what if he said some flattering words?
Ye Sheng ignored the strange gazes behind him. Although he said flattering words, his eyes were clear and pure, without any impurities.
Ye Sheng was still true to his heart.
The old Xuanwu listened to Ye Sheng’s words of praise and stared at Ye Sheng with a calm expression. He did not say anything.
A minute passed.
Ye Sheng did not say anything either. His body was still tall and straight.
The air seemed to have frozen. Liu Rushi and the others looked at Old Xuanwu, who did not show his emotions. They all felt a great pressure.
“I told you to suck up to me. You must have kissed the horse’s hooves.”There were even people who despised Ye Sheng. If Ye Sheng had not said these words, old Xuanwu would not have been so strange.
However, in an instant, these people saw Old Xuanwu smile. He revealed a faint smile, pointing at Ye Sheng, he said, “You’re still young. Don’t tell the truth to others. It’s very easy to lose out. Not every senior is as tolerant as me.”
PFFT!
The group of people behind Ye Sheng were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out. Did this old Xuanwu still like to hear such praise?
There were even people who were tempted. They wished that they could immediately replace ye Sheng and personally mount their horses to take the photo.
Ye Sheng and the old Xuanwu did not care about the thoughts of the group of people behind them. After ye Sheng saw the old Xuanwu laugh, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and said, “Senior has a graceful bearing. Only then can I say these words from the bottom of my heart.”
…
“Alright, if you speak too much truth, others will get bored.”The old Xuanwu waved his hand as if he was tired of ye Sheng’s continuous flattery.
But he changed his tone, he said, “Save some for later. You have the key to open the Pure Land. I will follow you for a period of time. After opening the Pure Land, I will be the first to enter. I only need the aether void. I don’t want anything else.”
Ye sheng nodded and said, “The aether void is naturally left for senior. No one can take it away. If anyone disagrees, I will do it myself and let him know how powerful I am.”
The immortal tribesmen and Liu Ru behind Ye Sheng looked at Ye Sheng aggrievedly. They were furious, but they could not say anything.
“Alright, as long as you say so. I have stayed in this world for too long. I don’t need the world’s origin or any rare treasures. The aether void is the key to whether I can successfully enter the void. I can not afford to lose it,”the old Xuanwu said seriously.
His gaze swept over the members of the longevity tribe, the seven monsters of the Heavenly Mountain, and everyone from Great Qin, giving them a lot of pressure. Everyone smiled kindly, determined not to snatch anything from the old Xuanwu.
“Don’t worry, senior. As long as the ether void is here, it will naturally be yours. But Can you tell me what the Ether Void Is?”Ye Sheng asked curiously.
In the past, he had heard the old man say that the old Xuanwu was looking for the aether void. Later on, Ye Sheng thought that the aether void was the origin of the world in the Pure Land. But now, it seemed that was not the case.
The old Xuanwu looked at Ye Sheng, he said plainly, “The aether void is a substance born from the origin of the world. This substance does not exist elsewhere. I have searched for 20,000 years and only recently discovered that they complement the origin of the world. But the origin of the world is the nourishment of a world, while the aether void is only a substance. Although the two come from the same origin, the effects are completely different. If I consume the aether void, I will avoid the heavenly tribulation. At the same time, I will regain my youth and enter the void. I will be determined on my path of cultivation.”
Ye Sheng suddenly realized what was going on.
“Senior, please take a seat. I will accompany you and talk with you. Soon, we will reach the Black Sea area. The Pure Land is there,”Ye Sheng invited.
Old Xuanwu followed Ye Sheng to the best spot on the deck. As soon as the two of them left, the rest of the people let out a sigh of relief and felt comfortable.
The old Xuanwu’s pressure was too heavy. Only Ye Sheng could communicate with him smoothly. If it were another person, they would have to bear a lot of pressure.
Liu Ru’s gaze was dark as she stared at Ye Sheng. She gritted her teeth and thought to herself, “Damn it, this old bastard is also looking for the ether void. What should I do?”
Liu Ru had obtained the void Almighty’s inheritance and cultivated to the twelfth level of the Void realm. Why didn’t she break through and leave?
It was all for the sake of the ether void.
In the memories of the Void Almighty, he saw that in the void, the ether void was a relatively precious treasure. A world could not be born much, and after obtaining it, one’s body would greatly improve. This was his goal.., but now, an old Xuanwu had appeared and destroyed all of his plans.
“I’ve paid so much just for the sake of the ether void. I Won’t give it to an old bastard. Ye Sheng, just you wait.”Liu Ru lowered her head and left with a gloomy expression.
..
On the deck, Ye Sheng and the old Xuanwu were sitting. The rest of the people were watching from afar and did not dare to approach.
“Senior, the old man told me that you have a strange temper and are not easy to get along with. Today, it seems that you are not like this. The Old Man Lied to me,”Ye Sheng said with a smile.
The old Xuanwu said plainly, “That little guy has been working for me for 3,000 years and has traveled all over the world. He has long been full of resentment towards me. How can I be good to him?”
Ye Sheng could not help but smile. So that was the case. It had even caused him to worry for a long time. If he met the old Xuanwu and was a violent person, Ye Sheng and the others would have scattered and escaped.
“Didn’t the old man come with senior?”Ye Sheng asked.
“No. He is not interested in the origin of the world. I have already separated from him. He is free now. Back then, I saved his life. He has served me for 3,000 years, which is enough to repay me. He might have gone to transcend the Tribulation.”The old Xuanwu shook his head and said.
“Transcend the tribulation? Did he ascend?”Ye Sheng asked in surprise. He didn’t expect the old man to be so decisive.
“His life is coming to an end, so he naturally has to seize the time. After three thousand years of accumulation, he’s still very confident in passing.”Old Xuanwu sighed.
“Senior, your 20,000 years of accumulation should be enough, right?”Ye Sheng asked.
“20,000 years of accumulation is too rich, so rich that I don’t even dare to show my face on land. Once I am targeted by the heavenly tribulation, I might trigger the most powerful lightning tribulation since ancient times. The Heavenly Tribulation will strike me to death because I have already broken the rules,”old Xuanwu sighed.
It was not that he did not want to transcend the tribulation, but that he could not.
His accumulation was too deep. It had already exceeded the limits of the world and would cause heavenly punishment.
After listening, Ye Sheng understood why the old Xuanwu would rather hide in the dark and cold depths of the sea than come to the land.
“Senior, you have broken through to the emptiness realm, right?”Ye Sheng asked this question despite his hesitation.
