“Are You Xiao Hu?”w.a.n.g Baole asked slowly, staring at the elder before him.
“Yes and no,”the moon star sect’s ancestor answered hoa.r.s.ely.
“I have followed you for many years. I was a devil and a sword spirit. I have experienced countless eras and traversed the galaxy. In the end, I was willing to die. I gathered a thread of immortal thought and followed you into this world to protect your dao
“Speaking of which, many years ago, on the planet where you are located, I saw you once. I enchanted one of your Dharmic puppets and made it strange. I believe that over the years, it has helped you to a certain extent
“Many years ago?”w.a.n.g Baole’s eyes were deep in thought. After a long while, he raised his right hand and waved it. Immediately, a puppet flew out of his storage bag. This puppet… w.a.n.g Baole had not used it for many years. It was the first puppet that he had created, then, many changes occurred to the puppet.
!!
“It’s this puppet.”Patriarch Yue Xing smiled faintly.
w.a.n.g Baole looked at the puppet and then at Patriarch Yue Xing. He couldn’t help but have a strange expression on his face. He recalled his own puppet. It seemed to… have some unspeakable quirks in its so-called quirks, all the opponents who had been entangled with it in the past had been miserable.
This evil interests didn’t seem to match the image of patriarch Yue Xing, who looked ordinary, but had a hint of a sage-like demeanor.
For no apparent reason, w.a.n.g Baole took a few steps back. He looked at Patriarch Yue Xing with a more serious expression.
“Fellow Daoist, there’s no need to be afraid. Before I died, I was still able to fight you. Now that my divine thought has been reincarnated, I’m no match for you even though I’ve reached the third step,”patriarch Yue Xing said flatly. Then, he waved his hand, two prayer mats materialized and landed at w.a.n.g Baole’s feet.
“Please take a seat.”
w.a.n.g Baole looked at the prayer mats cautiously. He scanned the prayer mats with his divine thoughts to make sure that there were no problems before he sat down cross-legged. Various thoughts surfaced in his mind. As he thought about it, he had completely understood the cause and effect of the agreement.
The agreement from sixty-eight years ago had been met in front of the cliff today. When he had arrived, w.a.n.g Baole had thought that he had already guessed the other party’s ident.i.ty. However, he now understood that his guess was both right and wrong.
He had guessed that the Moon Star Sect’s patriarch should be Xiao Hu from back then.
However, he hadn’t expected that there was another ident.i.ty besides Xiao Hu’s. therefore… rather than saying that the sixty-eight-year-old agreement was to meet him, it was more appropriate to say that it was to invite w.a.n.g Yiyi to meet him..
That was because… w.a.n.g Baole could guess who the master was. It had to be w.a.n.g Yiyi’s father. The way the little master addressed him and w.a.n.g Yiyi emerged from the mask in w.a.n.g Baole’s arms made w.a.n.g Baole realize that.., his current judgment wasn’t wrong.
“Uncle Xu…”w.a.n.g Yiyi said softly, bowing to the moon star sect ancestor before her.
A smile appeared on the Moon Star sect ancestor’s face. He stared at w.a.n.g Yiyi for a long time. His smile grew kinder as he spoke softly.
“Yiyi, it’s time.”
w.a.n.g Yiyi opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something. However, she fell silent in the end.
Seeing that, w.a.n.g Baole’s heart stirred. At the same time, patriarch Yue Xing s.h.i.+fted his gaze away from w.a.n.g Yiyi. When he looked at w.a.n.g Baole, he stood up, cupped his fists, and bowed to w.a.n.g Baole.
“Thank you, fellow Daoist, for protecting my little lord.”
“There’s no need to thank me for that,”w.a.n.g Baole replied softly. When he looked at w.a.n.g Yiyi, his gaze was gentle. It could be said that… she was the person who had truly been with him his entire life.
From the beginning of their meeting until now.
“Senior, what is it that you have agreed to meet me here today?”w.a.n.g Baole took a deep breath and looked at patriarch Yue Xing. He asked in a deep voice. He really wanted to know what would happen to the agreement that had lasted for sixty-eight years.
Patriarch Yue Xing’s expression was solemn. He remained in his cupped fist position and didn’t get up.
“I, Xu, have invited you to meet me here for three things
“First, to welcome the return of my young lord and complete his soul. To complete the final preparations… for the final resurrection.”As elder Yue Xing spoke, he raised his right hand and waved it. Instantly, the air distorted, fragments appeared out of thin air. Light flowed in all directions, and the sky shone as well. Endless light shone in all directions, turning the place into a sea of light.
The source of the Sea of light was the fragments. As they shone, the fragments gathered in mid-air between patriarch Yue Xing and w.a.n.g Baole, eventually forming… half a mask!
Seeing the appearance of the mask, w.a.n.g Baole’s breathing quickened slightly. He took out his mask from his robes. Almost at the instant the mask appeared, a strong and dazzling light also emanated from within. It was extremely dazzling, the two incomplete masks seemed to be pulled by an invisible force. They slowly approached, and when they fused together..
The mask was complete!
There was no longer any imperfections. There was a shocking aura emanating from within. This aura was sacred and seemed inviolable. It seemed to be able to suppress all directions, causing the starry sky where the Moon Star sect was located to shake, in fact, it even affected the collateral saint realm.
“This mask was personally created by master back then. It looked complete when it was first created, but in truth, there were cracks in it from the very beginning. There were seventeen of them, and each of them contained a wisp of the little lord’s soul fragment, allowing it to be nourished within. Once… One day, the mask is truly complete, and there are no cracks in it, the Little Lord’s soul fragments will be able to fuse with it and… be resurrected
“However, to make it complete, a special method is required. The main ingredient required for this method is… immortal bones
“Only a complete immortal can form immortal bones in the body
“Therefore, the second reason I asked you to come here is to hope that you can obtain all the immortal inheritances as soon as possible and become a true immortal
“Before that, the little lord will be by my side. I will maintain the integrity of the mask with my divine thoughts and wait for your success.”
w.a.n.g Baole appeared to be calm when he heard that. However, a complicated look flashed across the depths of his eyes. He wasn’t stupid. On the contrary… he had experienced too many things, and he had developed a keen mind, he could sense the unspoken words hidden in the other party’s words.
He didn’t know what the other party was hiding, and he didn’t want to pursue the matter any further. He lowered his eyelids slightly, concealing the complicated look in his eyes. His actions were something that even someone as sensitive as patriarch Yue Xing didn’t notice, he continued speaking
“The third thing is the reward…”just as patriarch Yue Xing finished speaking, w.a.n.g Yiyi suddenly spoke up.
“Uncle Xu, don’t hide it from him anymore.”
Patriarch Yue Xing paused and looked at w.a.n.g Yiyi.
“I don’t want to hide it from him. Uncle Xu… tell him the truth,”w.a.n.g Yiyi said softly. If one listened carefully, one could hear her voice trembling. When she spoke, she didn’t seem to dare look at w.a.n.g Baole, she lowered her head and walked silently between w.a.n.g Baole and patriarch Yue Xing. The mask floated in mid-air. As she got closer, she gradually blended into it.
Her back was filled with timidity and loneliness. There was also a deep sense of escape. As she blended into it, she slowly disappeared..
It was as if she didn’t want to face what happened next.
w.a.n.g Baole raised his head. His half-closed eyelids lifted slowly. He looked at the mask and sighed softly.
“Could it be that just the immortal bone alone isn’t enough to completely heal the cracks in the mask?”
There was no sound from within the mask. Patriarch Yue Xing fell silent as well. He looked at the mask, then at w.a.n.g Baole. The wrinkles on his face had clearly increased.
“Your fate is still in question.”After a long while, patriarch Yue Xing spoke in a low voice.
