Chapter 397: Fulfilling a Long-awaited Wish
Silence was an invisible beast that could only live like an invisible person his entire life. How could Prime Master Jing An see him?
She couldn’t possibly just sprinkle a bucket of paint in the air and make him appear, right?
Besides, what Prime Master Jing An wanted to see was Silence’s true appearance, not his physical form. Even if the paint could reveal Silence’s body, it couldn’t show his true appearance.
Therefore, this was a difficult test for all the challengers.
However, Yu Huang was an exception.
“I can let Prime Master Jing An meet you, but in exchange, I need to obtain the legacy of Prime Master Jing An.”
Silence’s breathing suddenly became heavy. At the same time, another word appeared on the table—
[Really?]
Yu Huang nodded. She believed that Silence was standing in this room and could see her every move clearly.
She told Silence, “I have the Eternal Eye. The Eternal Eye can see the past, predict the future, and also see everything in the world. Since the invisible beast exists, it is a creature of this world.”
Yu Huang clenched her fists and made a bold decision. She said to Silence, “I can let Prime Master Jing An possess you and let her meet you.”
Another word appeared on the table. Perhaps it was because the person who wrote it was too agitated, but his fingers trembled. The handwriting of the word was a little crooked.
The words on the table were:
[Okay.]
Yu Huang stared at the word “good” for a moment. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the void again. Then, she warned him in a dangerous and cold tone, “I have to warn you. Don’t think about helping Prime Master Jing An possess and revive.”
The air suddenly fell silent, and the heat that sprinkled on Yu Huang’s face disappeared.
‘Silence’ seemed to be holding his breath.
Yu Huang continued, “My mentor is an extremely powerful Soul Driving Master. He left a soul mark in my Spiritual Abode world. Once he senses that Prime Master Jing An wants to possess me, he will definitely be able to turn her into ashes and she won’t even have the chance to reincarnate!”
“I sincerely want to cooperate with you, but it depends on your sincerity.” With that said, Yu Huang walked to the tea table and sat down while waiting patiently.
She was not anxious at all.
‘Silence’ had waited for this moment for more than two thousand years. He was even more anxious than Yu Huang.
Soon, the word “okay” on the table in front of Yu Huang was brushed away. Following that, a new word appeared—
[Deal.]
Seeing this, Yu Huang immediately stood up. She slowly closed her eyes and mobilized all the mental strength in her body.
When Yu Huang opened her eyes again, her eyes were dark. If one looked carefully, they would discover that her eyes had already turned into an abyss-like vortex.
There was no end to it.
Under the Eternal Eye, there was nowhere to escape.
Yu Huang turned around and discovered a tall figure standing in front of the stone door on the east side of the activity room. That person had his back facing Yu Huang and stared up at the tightly shut stone door in a daze.
Yu Huang walked towards the figure.
The man heard Yu Huang’s footsteps but didn’t turn around. He only stared at the closed door of the main tomb in front of him hesitantly, as if he was afraid of something.
Yu Huang suddenly raised her hand and patted his shoulder.
The man suddenly turned his head to look at Yu Huang. He couldn’t hide his surprise as he asked, “You can see me?”
Yu Huang nodded.
The man turned around, and only then did Yu Huang see his face clearly.
This invisible beast actually looked exactly like a human man!
And he was very handsome.
Yu Huang was only surprised for a few seconds before she regained her composure. “The opening of the Eternal Eye is limited. Quickly summon Prime Master Jing An’s soul.”
“Okay.”
‘Silence’ stood in front of the door and hesitated for a few seconds. Then, he took a deep breath and raised his hand to draw a rune in front of the stone door.
The rune was imprinted on the tightly shut stone door. The mechanism inside the stone door rang for a moment before the door suddenly extended underground. Everything in the main tomb was seen by Yu Huang.
The main tomb was very wide, but the inside was very clean and simple. It was so simple that there was only a huge coffin in the middle of the main tomb.
Silence walked steadily to the coffin. He stared at it quietly.
The coffin lid trembled slightly. Soon, the coffin lid flew up, and an illusory gray figure floated out of the coffin.
The woman’s white hair was like a waterfall as it gently draped behind her head. She was wearing a light green dress, and she had a galiant aura. The woman’s gaze crossed s.p.a.ce and time as she looked at Yu Huang, who was outside the door.
“Who woke me up?”
Yu Huang walked into the main tomb and knelt down in front of the coffin. She kowtowed and lowered her head as she said, “Yin Clan’s direct disciple, Yin Huang, has specially come to pay her respects to the ancestor.”
Prime Master Jing An had been asleep for more than two thousand years, so she was a little slow-witted. She stared at Yu Huang for a moment before understanding what she meant.
Only then did she remember that she had already entered the Saint Tomb and was resting here while waiting for the fated person to come and accept the inheritance.
Prime Master Jing An asked Yu Huang, “How many years have I been resting here?”
Yu Huang replied, “More than 2,600 years.”
“More than 2,600 years…” When Prime Master Jing An heard this number, she couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.” I didn’t expect that I would wait for more than 2,000 years. ”
Prime Master Jing An slowly landed on the ground. She stood beside Silence. However, Prime Master Jing An didn’t know that her lover was standing beside her and looking at her affectionately.
Prime Master Jing An lowered her head and looked at the wide double coffin under her with a sad expression.
In the coffin, there was a skeleton that had long rotted. There was a wide spot beside the skeleton, where her lover was.
Prime Master Jing An looked at the empty s.p.a.ce in the coffin and asked in a low voice, “Are you still there?” It had been more than two thousand years, so Silence had long escaped out of boredom.
Seeing that there was no movement in the coffin, Prime Master Jing An was a little sad and happy.
She hoped that Silence would stay by her side forever, but she didn’t want him to live alone. The outside world was so exciting. Silence should belong to that exciting world.
Silence heard Prime Master Jing An’s question and kept breathing at her. However, Prime Master Jing An was now a spiritual body and couldn’t feel his breathing at all.
Helpless, Silence could only pick up a small stone on the ground and write on the coffin—
[Jing’er, I’m here.]
When Prime Master Jing An saw the words suddenly appear on the coffin, her soul body suddenly froze.
He was actually still here!
After 2,600 years, Silence was still protecting her!
At this moment, Yu Huang stood up. She stared at the void on the right of Prime Master Jing An and said softly, “Ancestor, ‘Silence’ is standing on your right and looking at you.”
What Yu Huang didn’t say was that there were tears in Silence’s eyes.
Prime Master Jing An turned around in shock. She stared at the void and her eyes unknowingly blurred.
Prime Master Jing An asked in a choked voice, “Silence, is that you?” She reached out to touch the void, but her illusory fingers pa.s.sed through Silence’s body.
When she was alive, she could still feel Silence’s existence through touching him. After she died, she could no longer approach him.
Silence reached out to wipe her tears, but he couldn’t touch her at all.
Silence looked at Yu Huang for help.
Yu Huang nodded. She told Prime Master Jing An, “Ancestor, if I want to accept your inheritance, I have to pa.s.s Silence’s test.”
Prime Master Jing An turned around and asked her, “What is his test?”
Yu Huang replied, “He has a long-awaited wish.”
“Huh?” Prime Master Jing An was a little confused. “His long-cherished wish? What is it?”
“He wants you to see what he looks like.”
Hearing this, Prime Master Jing An suddenly pursed her lips.
Was this Silence’s long-awaited wish?
Prime Master Jing An sighed with emotion. “No wonder I’ve been lying here for 2,600 years. The test he set for you is simply impossible. This is a test that you can’t pa.s.s.”
Prime Master Jing An shook her head helplessly. She told Yu Huang, “If this is a test set up by Silence for you, then I’m sorry to tell you that you can’t complete the inheritance test. I’ve lived for more than four hundred years, but I’ve never seen him once. Leave. You won’t be able to pa.s.s the inheritance test.”
However, Yu Huang told her, “I can.”
Hearing this, Prime Master Jing An suddenly raised her head and asked in bewilderment, “You can really do it? What method do you have?” However, the way she looked at Yu Huang was filled with antic.i.p.ation.
Yu Huang told Prime Master Jing An, “I have the Eternal Eye and can see the past and present lives of all living beings in the world. Naturally, I can also see Silence.”
“Eternal Eye…” When Prime Master Jing An heard her words, she immediately recalled the legends about the Eternal Eye.
Prime Master Jing An said, “Only when a world is about to face a destructive calamity will the benevolent heavens bestow a pair of Eternal Eyes on that world. In that case, the Holy Spirit Continent is about to face great destruction?”
After all, Prime Master Jing An always cared about the future of the Holy Spirit Continent.
Such compa.s.sion was really admirable.
Yu Huang nodded and told Prime Master Jing An, “My adoptive father is the Grand State Master. He is an extremely powerful fortune-teller. He has already divined the arrival of the great destruction. However, we won’t sit back and wait for it to happen. If the calamity really comes, as cultivators, we will definitely be the first to suffer, if suffering there must be, but if benefits are to be gained and distributed, be the last man to claim them.”
“What a good saying! Be the first to suffer, if suffering there must be, but if benefits are to be gained and distributed, be the last man to claim them!” Prime Master Jing An smiled at Yu Huang in relief. She said, “With you guys, I believe the Holy Spirit Continent will definitely be able to defeat the Great Destruction and welcome prosperity in the future.”
Yu Huang bent down and said, “Prime Master Jing An, I’m willing to help Silence fulfill her long-awaited wish. Please possess me and open the Eternal Eye to meet Silence.”
Prime Master Jing An looked at her playfully and suddenly asked, “Aren’t you afraid of being possessed by me?”
Yu Huang smiled and said, “I naturally have a backup plan. I signed a Blood Pact with my mentor. My mentor is the most powerful Exorcist in the world today. Once he discovers that someone is trying to possess me, the one who will suffer won’t be me, but you.”
Prime Master Jing An finally smiled.
“You’re brave, resourceful, and courageous. You’re quite to my liking. If I can give you the inheritance, it can be considered a good fate.”
Prime Master Jing An looked back at the void.
Meeting Silence was actually Prime Master Jing An’s long-awaited wish. Now that the opportunity to fulfill her wish was right in front of her, how could she bear to miss it?
“Little girl, if you can let me see Silence successfully, I promise to give you the inheritance.”
Hearing this, Yu Huang also revealed a relieved smile. “Then please possess me.”
Yu Huang opened the Spiritual Abode World and lowered her guard before closing her eyes.
Prime Master Jing An suddenly charged towards Yu Huang’s body, and her soul headed straight for Yu Huang’s Spiritual Abode.
When the unfamiliar soul entered her body, Yu Huang immediately clenched her fists uneasily. She suppressed the urge to expel the unfamiliar soul from her body and forced herself to calm down.
Prime Master Jing An’s soul power was powerful, and she quickly took control of Yu Huang’s body.
Yu Huang’s consciousness fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, Yu Huang’s eyes suddenly opened. Her pitch-black Eternal Eye turned slightly before looking towards the coffin.
Prime Master Jing An saw the figure standing beside the coffin. She stared at the figure and couldn’t believe that it was Silence.
So Silence’s original form was actually a human.
Prime Master Jing An stared at Silence in fascination for a few seconds before saying softly, “I see you.”
Hearing this, Silence trembled.
Seeing that he didn’t dare to look at her, Prime Master Jing An asked curiously, “Why don’t you turn around? I want to see your face.”
Silence seemed to be hesitating and struggling. He clenched and unclenched his fists. After two or three repet.i.tions, Silence gathered his courage and turned around.
That person was dressed in snow-white clothes. His eyebrows were sharp and his facial features were well-defined. When his black eyes looked at Prime Master Jing An, there were actually tears in them. Those eyes were like fine wine hidden deep in the cellar. They were sparkling and enchanting.
