830 Farewell
Ming Yue frowned. It was undeniable that the veteran was telling the truth. She could feel that if this path continued, it would be a dead end. She could not figure out why the True Phoenix would open up a path to the Netherworld here.
What was the meaning behind it? Did it represent the will to be reborn from the flames? There was no turning back on the path of cultivation. Perhaps Senior True Phoenix had left this path back then to let them understand how difficult this path was.
Ming Yue fell silent. She fell into self-doubt and kept asking herself in her heart. Was this really the right path to walk all the way?
Ye Qiu couldn’t help but hold her hand tightly when he saw her solemn gaze that was filled with doubts about her life path. He comforted her with his eyes, as if he was saying that no matter how difficult this path was, he would silently accompany her.
Ming Yue smiled when she saw this gaze! Her smile was extremely dazzling.
“Thank you for your guidance, Senior! May I ask how we should leave this place?” Ming Yue first bowed and asked.
This journey ended here. Although it was dangerous, they had also gained a lot. Calculating the time, they had already wasted more than half a year here. If nothing unexpected happened, there were still a few months before the Heaven Mending Grand Competition. It was time for them to go back.
This competition was the most grand event of the Heaven Mending Pavilion. They could not be absent.
The veteran smiled at Ming Yue, his heart filled with relief. He was filled with anticipation for the little girl in front of him. She was very outstanding! The veteran was very satisfied with her by Ye Qiu’s side. He could not guarantee the future. He could only pray that they would always walk side by side. This was the veteran’s last hope.
“Haha!” With a relieved laugh, the veteran said, “It’s actually not difficult to leave this place. If you had noticed at first, you would have realized that there was always a door to leave behind you. It’s just that you never looked back at it.”
The two of them were stunned when they heard this. They turned around in a daze. This was the first time they had turned around.
Just as the veteran had said, there was a mysterious door hidden in the yellow sand behind them. Perhaps that was the only way out of the other side of the Netherworld. It was hidden in the most inconspicuous place.
The veteran had no reason to lie to them because with his strength, he only needed a thought to take Ye Qiu and Ming Yue’s lives.
There was no doubt that the difference between the Dao Sacrificial realm and realm above the Dao Sacrificial realm was a world of difference. Even if there was only a small chasm, it was an insurmountable natural chasm.
Therefore, the falseness of this sentence was almost zero.
“Thank you, Senior! We’ll leave now. Senior, take care.” After hesitating for a while, Ye Qiu immediately cupped his fists and wasn’t prepared to stay here any longer.
This path was too dangerous. No one could guarantee what kind of terrifying existence they would encounter if they continued down. Above the Dao Sacrificial realm wasn’t the limit of this path. Ye Qiu had a feeling that there was something even more terrifying at the end of the path.
Therefore, there was no point in continuing. Sometimes, turning back did not mean failure. There was just another better choice.
“Wait.” Seeing that Ye Qiu was holding Ming Yue’s hand and was about to leave, the veteran suddenly stopped them. The two of them turned around in confusion. The veteran smiled and said, “Two little fellows, you’ve gone through countless hardships to come here. Are you planning to leave empty-handed?”
“Senior, what do you mean?”
Ye Qiu was puzzled. The veteran smiled and continued, “In this world, the number of people who can come here can be counted on one hand, but the number of people who can walk out of here alive is even fewer. The fact that you can come here means that this is fate. Moreover, karma still exists between us. Does this also prove our fate?”
Ye Qiu looked a little surprised. He vaguely guessed what the veteran meant, but he didn’t dare to believe it.
“Haha! Kid, don’t be surprised. Since you’re Master’s disciple, you’re my junior. If you’re really particular, I’ll have to call you Young Master. Unknowingly, the heavens let us meet. This is fate between us. It’s also because of your arrival that the knot in my heart has been untied for many years and brought me news of Master. I have to repay this karma.”
After saying that, the veteran smiled at Ye Qiu. Then, he turned his hand and a ball of blood mist suddenly spread. In the yellow sand, the Netherworld Fruit Tree growing on the Netherworld Dam began to shake violently.
Suddenly, a Netherworld Fruit fell from the tree and flew straight towards Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu reached out and grabbed it. He was shocked and even puzzled. The Netherworld Fruit Tree had experienced countless tens of thousands of years of calamity before barely producing a fruit. The main reason why this veteran had waited here for tens of thousands of years was because this Netherworld Fruit gave him the power to wait.
Ye Qiu was very shocked. At this moment, other than a few immature fruits, there was nothing else on the fruit tree.
In other words, the veteran giving this fruit to him was equivalent to giving up on himself.
“Senior!” At this moment, Ye Qiu was moved! He looked at the veteran in disbelief and saw a trace of relief and loneliness in his eyes.
“Ah!” After a long sigh, he said, “Child, you don’t have to worry about me! I’ve lived for tens of thousands of years and have long become indifferent to everything in the mortal world. It’s already the greatest comfort to hear that Master is still in the world before we part. I’ve long kept myself from life and death. Perhaps, I should pack up and go down to meet my brothers.”
The veteran replied to Ye Qiu in an incomparably lonely tone. Losing the Netherworld Fruit also meant that he had lost a chance to continue waiting for Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu. This was because it would be at least ten thousand years before the next fruit matured.
Ye Qiu couldn’t let go of his lonely expression. He looked at the fruit in his hand and couldn’t come back to his senses for a long time. He was very curious about what kind of ideal that a group of men insisted on.
That should be an especially romantic and extremely heroic ideal.
To be honest, Ye Qiu didn’t have a huge need for the Netherworld Fruit. From the quality of this fruit, it wasn’t even half the quality of the fruit he already had. If Ye Qiu deprived a veteran of his many years of obsession because of this fruit, this would definitely become a knot in his heart on his future cultivation path.
“Haha!” As he thought about it, Ye Qiu suddenly laughed. It was said that heroes cherished heroes. From the moment the veteran chose to give this fruit to Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu finally opened his heart and no longer had any vigilance.
