Chapter 668 – Try! (1/2)
“You really aren’t from here!” Elder Mu gazed at Lu Yuanhao while his eyes revealed a trace of seriousness and bewilderment.
Lu Yuanhao looked at Elder Mu with an extremely heavy and fearful gaze. Even though this old man’s strength wasn’t as formidable as the Unfettered One, Elder Mu was definitely the strongest on the continent after the Unfettered One. The most important thing was the old man’s ident.i.ty….
Lu Yuanhao replied in a low voice, “I’m am, but aren’t you?”
Elder Mu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said, “I’m not from here as well?”
“You don’t know?” A wisp of surprise flashed through Lu Yuanhao’s eyes, but it wasn’t long before he seemed to have thought of something and nodded slightly. He said, “Right, how could someone who was banished be allowed to possess his complete memories.”
“Explain!” Elder Mu spoke in a low voice.
Lu Yuanhao shook his head and said, “If you’re able to break through from the Half-Saint Realm and attain the Saint Realm, then you’ll naturally be able to unlock the seal in your mind. At that time, you’ll understand everything. If you’re unable to attain the Saint Realm, then knowing your own origins is completely meaningless, isn’t it?”
“No wonder I wasn’t able to recall anything after I woke up at the bottom of Death Abyss. So there’s a seal in my mind. I never expected that I’m actually from the world outside. Haha….” A wisp of ferocity flashed through his eyes. After all, no one would be happy to have lived an ignorant life for over 10,000 years.
“Actually, if you tried to overcome the Heavenpath before the Sword Sect’s Founding Ancestor, then you should have been able to leave this world a long time ago!” Lu Yuanhao said, “Unfortunately, you missed that opportunity. The Sword Sect’s Founding Ancestor’s success caused the Outer Heavens to dare not underestimate Profounder Continent again. So, those tasked with guarding the Heavenpath were changed to Saint Realm experts. That’s why no one after the Sword Sect’s Founding Ancestor has been able to overcome it. Because even a Half-Saint is like an ant before a Saint!”
Elder Mu raised his head slowly and looked up into the sky, “What exactly are they trying to do!?”
“Seal and suppress the defiant profounders!” Lu Yuanhao explained, “It’s impossible for you to imagine their true strength. They’re able to instantly attain the Saint Realm if they are able to obtain Primordial Violet Energy. All those years ago, they arrived as a group of over 10,000 Saint Realm experts. If all the powers of the Outer Heavens hadn’t joined forces and coupled with the chaotic relations.h.i.+p between the defiant profounders themselves, they would have probably dominated this entire region in s.p.a.ce!”
“A billion living beings here have to be sacrificed for that?” asked Elder Mu.
“If a billion weren’t sacrificed here, a trillion might have died instead.” Lu Yuanhao said, “Yang Ye said that cultivation itself is defiance of the heavens, and that’s true. Actually, it isn’t just a fight with the heavens? It’s a fight with other people and all sorts of beings.”
Elder Mu nodded and said, “Yang Ye was right. There’s no right and wrong in this world, and there’s only a differentiation between strong and weak. We’re weak, so we can only be sealed and suppressed by others, and we can’t blame anyone for it. The only one we can blame is ourselves for being too weak!”
“The weak have no rights!” Lu Yuanhao spoke in a heavy tone.
Elder Mu chuckled, and then he gazed at Lu Yuanhao and said, “Be frank, are we enemies?”
Lu Yuanhao’s heart shook. He knew that the old man who stood before him had aroused killing intent. His current strength was absolutely sufficient for him to flee, but he was definitely incapable of defeating the Undertaker. However, fleeing would spoil his plan!
So, he pondered deeply for a moment before he said, “My plans don’t conflict with yours. That’s why I chose Yang Ye and not Luo Jun!”
Elder Mu took a deep and long glance at Lu Yuanhao before he said, “I’ll be keeping an eye on you!” He vanished on the spot once he finished speaking.
Lu Yuanhao stood silently on the spot for some time before he left as well.
…
Three young girls were seated on the stone steps outside Yang Ye’s room. It was Bao’er, Little Yao, and Lei Lin who was constantly eating spirit fruits.
The violet mink was on Lei Lin’s shoulder.
“Little Yao, you’ve been constantly cultivating lately and never play with me anymore!” Bao’er puckered her little lips. Little Yao had started to only cultivate every single day and never accompanied her anymore, and that made her feel very displeased.
Yang Yao was still very young, but she was a ninth rank King Realm profounder now. Actually, she could be considered a rare genius in the southern territory. Of course, besides the natural talent she possessed, it was also because she could obtain any resources she desired. Moreover, there were countless Exalt Realm and Monarch Realm experts to provide her with guidance at all times. So, her cultivation naturally advanced by leaps and bounds.
At this moment, she’d shed quite a bit of immaturity and seemed much more mature. She replied, “Bao’er, we can’t be playing all the time. We have to become stronger and help big brother. Otherwise, it’ll be too tiring for big brother to deal with everything on his own.”
The violet mink hurriedly nodded, and Lei Lin immediately nodded as well when she saw that….
“But cultivating isn’t fun at all!” Bao’er had a bitter expression on her face because cultivating was truly painful to her.
Lei Lin seemed to agree with Bao’er, and she hurriedly nodded without the violet mink telling her to. However, the violet mink slapped her a few times on the head in response….
Yang Yao sighed while acting like she was much older, and she patted Bao’er on the shoulder and said, “Big Sister Bao’er, you’ve always been protecting me in the past, so big brother and I will protect you once I’ve become strong. So long as big brother and I are here, then you can blast anyone you want, alright?”
Bao’er’s eyes lit up as she said, “Very good!”
The violet mink rolled her eyes at Bao’er….
