Chapter 1215 Mysterious Elder
Lei Long was unable to do anything to the ancient race archer, so its body suddenly lit up, unleas.h.i.+ng blinding arcs of lightning that made it so the archer couldn’t see anything for a moment .
In that instant, a three-foot sphere shot toward him .
The ancient race archer was truly worthy of being a rank seven Celestial . Even though he was blinded and the thunderforce was disturbing his divine sense, he still sensed it . He rapidly fell back as he blocked with his bow .
BOOM! Just as his bow touched the sphere, the sphere exploded and countless fragments devoured everything around him .
The archer was shocked . Before he could even understand what had happened, dozens of fragments tore through his body, and one of them severed his neck .
His head had only just left his body when Lei Long transformed into a lightning spear and stabbed through it, instantly killing him .
“Guo Ran’s wares are all top grade . Looks like his bragging was the truth . ”
That sphere was one of the bombs that had been used as a final trump card against the sea demons in the eastern sea . But instead of being used on them, they had ended up giving a vicious blow to the ancient races and Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s disciples .
Back then, Guo Ran had given Long Chen his greatest masterpiece as a souvenir . But in truth, it was actually just to show off .
But now this bomb was even able to kill a rank seven Celestial when Long Chen used it properly .
“Not good . Gotta run!” Long Chen’s expression suddenly changed . He sensed several powerful auras rus.h.i.+ng straight over .
Clenching his teeth, he poured the tiny bit of spiritual yuan he had just recovered into his boots and vanished like a wisp of smoke .
Less than two breaths after Long Chen had left, several figures appeared on the battlefield .
One of them was the rank eight Celestial from the elephant ancient race . He looked over the battlefield and said, “His aura hasn’t dissipated yet . He can’t be far . Everyone split up . ”
The others immediately fanned out, rapidly flying through the air . All of them were on alert, ready to unleash their strongest attacks at any time .
They knew that after consecutive battles, Long Chen had long since become an arrow at the end of its path . Once they found him, he would likely unleash a final deathblow, so they were all very careful . None of them dared to be careless when it came to handling Long Chen .
Long Chen was only able to endure for a dozen breaths before his spiritual yuan was used up by the boots .
Suddenly, he saw a waterfall ahead . There was a pool below it, and he sensed a strange fluctuation coming from within the pool .
Hesitating for a moment, Long Chen dived in . Only once he was inside the pool did he realize it was just like an ancient well . Although it hadn’t looked remarkable on the outside, it was incredibly deep .
Long Chen had gone down hundreds of meters without seeing the bottom . Once he was over a mile deep, he saw a curtain of light blocking the water .
Entering the light, he realized it was an immortal cave . When he looked back, the light curtain had vanished, and the water of the pool had also disappeared . He had unwittingly been transported to some kind of special location .
Suddenly, eight pearls at the top of eight stone pillars lit up, making this immortal cave as bright as day .
With this light, he managed to get a clear look . This immortal cave was like the inside of an ancient palace . The eight stone pillars had fierce beast carvings on them . Long Chen didn’t recognize a single one of those beasts .
Standing within this room, he saw a throne ahead . The throne was empty, but it emitted its own powerful pressure .
On the wall behind the throne, there was a huge mural three hundred meters high . There were countless creatures depicted within it . Flying birds, walking beasts, all living in peace .
He didn’t know whether it was a misperception or not, but when he looked at those creatures, he felt like they were looking back at him, appraising him . This mural was filled with Dao charm .
“This painting is definitely a treasure!” A fiery light appeared in Long Chen’s eyes as he looked at the mural .
“How can you be sure?” Suddenly, a voice rang out behind Long Chen .
Long Chen jumped in fright . Without even thinking about it, he smashed behind him with his pot .
But after swinging the pot, he was shocked to find that the pot had disappeared from his hand . Instead, it appeared in the hand of an elder that had appeared behind him .
The elder was tall and lean . He wore cyan robes and had a scholar’s band wrapped around his head . He looked just like an old Confucian scholar . He possessed a simple and elegant air .
The elder seemed to be lost in thought as he held the pot . He gently stroked it with his other hand . The pot actually let out a rumbling sound that sounded like the wailing of a child .
“When I forged you, it was in recollection of my childhood memories . You were the proof of my Dao-heart . But now that I think about it, it was nothing more than a joke… Becoming a G.o.d or an immortal is nothing more than this…” sighed the elder . His eyes were lost as he had sunk into his memories .
Long Chen didn’t dare to make a sound . He wasn’t able to sense this elder’s aura or even his existence . And yet it was like his existence encompa.s.sed all of heaven and earth .
Long Chen had never seen anyone as terrifying as this . It was like on his own, he was the entire world . In this world, he was in control of everyone’s life and death .
“Alright, you were born from my hands, but you were almost destroyed because of me . Now you’ve encountered a new master . I will give you some good fortune to make up for that ancient debt . ”
A rune appeared in the elder’s hand, and he slowly placed it on the bottom of the pot . The pot’s aura rapidly changed . Despite clearly being an ordinary pot, it now possessed a sacred and divine air .
That divine air slowly faded, and the elder returned the pot to Long Chen . “It has fate with you . I hope you won’t let it down . ”
Long Chen was in a daze, but he obediently received the pot . However, the pot was in a strange state, and it seemed to be lost in slumber .
“Senior, don’t tell me that you are the master of this minor world?” After a long moment of hesitation, Long Chen still ended up asking this question that even he couldn’t really believe .
“Yes, this minor world was created by me . It is the only inheritance I left behind before ascending . ” The elder nodded .
Long Chen was shocked by this . Didn’t this mean that this elder had become a G.o.d or immortal? No wonder he couldn’t sense any of the aura of a person .
He looked in shock at this elder, but then he suddenly realized he was wrong . If someone had become a G.o.d or immortal, there should be an immortal charm around them . After all, even the Xuan Master had a very, very slight amount of immortal qi revolving around him . Why did this elder possess no aura at all?
“Haha, you don’t need to be shocked . Right now, I am not an immortal, nor am I a person . If I were to pick the closest term, I am currently a ghost . ” The elder smiled lightly .
“Senior, please forgive this junior for not being able to believe such a thing . ” Long Chen shook his head, because he didn’t sense the slightest aura of death from the elder .
“Haha, what an interesting child . No wonder we have fate together . I was a free cultivator, and I had no disciples, sons, or daughters to carry on my inheritance . The only legacy I left behind is the Myriad Spirit Diagram within this minor world . Not only did you enter the inheritance region, but you also found an item I forged back in the day . It seems you are the person I was waiting for to pa.s.s on my legacy . ” The elder smiled at Long Chen, as if relieved from a heavy burden .
Long Chen was stunned . Was this really possible? His luck had turned? He felt like he had never had such good luck in his entire life . Now that it happened, he didn’t dare to believe it .
“But the curious thing is, you aren’t even a soul cultivator, let alone a Beast Tamer . The Myriad Spirit Diagram shouldn’t have much meaning to you . ” The elder now shook his head .
“Senior, can we not play around? Just tell me for sure whether you’re going to give me this treasure or not . My heart can’t handle these sudden turns . ” Long Chen bitterly smiled .
First, he made him as happy as possible, and then he said it was useless to him . It couldn’t be that the next words out of his mouth would be sorry, it turns out you aren’t the destined person, right? That would definitely be able to make a person cough up enough blood to die .
“Haha, don’t worry, you are the destined person . I was just curious . This Myriad Spirit Diagram is the c.u.mulation of my cultivation . I cultivated the path of all beasts to achieve my Dao . The Myriad Spirit Diagram has thousands of divine abilities of the myriad beasts in this world . I was a Beast Tamer in my life, and my true body ascended through the path of ten thousand beasts . I left behind the Myriad Spirit Diagram as a legacy for a destined person . Although you are not a Beast Tamer, the destined person doesn’t necessarily have to cultivate the same path . It’s also possible you are destined to pa.s.s it on to someone else . As for whether or not you’ll be capable of that, it’ll be up to fate . A person can only do so much . ” The elder smiled .
The elder beckoned, and the mural on the wall began to roll up until it was a scroll only a foot thick .
He gently rubbed it, a complicated expression in his eyes . He sighed, “Becoming a G.o.d or immortal is nothing more than this . In the end, everything was still futile . Why bother?”
The elder stroked the scroll a few more times before handing it to Long Chen . “Help me find a suitable disciple to carry on my legacy . It can count as leaving my mark on the world . In the end, G.o.ds and immortals are nothing more than ordinary people, unable to sever the feelings in their hearts . ”
Long Chen received the scroll and solemnly said, “Senior, don’t worry . I have a genius Beast Tamer by my side . Your inheritance will definitely continue . ”
The elder smiled slightly and nodded . This promise was comforting . He said, “It seems you have a powerful physical body . I suppose I can’t let you have come for nothing, so I have a body tempering art I can transmit to you . ”
The elder pressed a finger against Long Chen’s forehead . A torrent of energy poured into his head .
Suddenly, the silent primal chaos bead began to rapidly revolve, and a terrifying aura erupted .
The elder’s arm exploded from some terrifying energy .
