Chapter 648: Reincarnation to Immortality
Chapter 648: Reincarnation to Immortality
In contrast to what he had known before, some events that had been buried for twenty years seemed to be gradually unveiling before his eyes.
Twenty years ago, it wasn't just the Reincarnate who had stripped the Emperor of his identity, but even the State Preceptor was involved?
"Not just the State Preceptor?"
Seeing the astonishment on Hu Ma's face, Long Jing Senior smiled faintly and said, "Even the Ten Surnames were convinced by the State Preceptor to stand by and watch as we severed the Yi Dynasty's fortune."
"However, we originally thought they would agree because they also wanted to stop the Heaven Sacrifice Plan of the Du Clan. We thought they had seen through that lie, but later we realized it wasn't the case. Even the wise State Preceptor, despite having the same humble origins as the Ten Surnames, they didn't want to stop the Heaven Offering Ceremony. They just wanted to be the ones to perform the sacrifice..."
"It's just laughable. They hurriedly took action against us as if they were afraid we would steal their opportunity..."
"But becoming an immortal, hehe, becoming an immortal, if the Reincarnate wants to achieve immortality, why go through so much trouble?"
"..."
"The Ten Surnames..."
Hu Ma listened up to this point, and from the perspective of the Hu Family of the Pacifying Evil Office, he couldn't help but feel a sense of shock, and a vague sense of panic welled up inside him.
Even now, he still remembered what he had seen in the Extinct Village and the appearance of Old Master Yan.
Especially the impression left by Elder Master Meng, who had almost destroyed him with a single glance.
But was that an immortal?
Hu Ma also remembered that when he had asked Old Abacus, he had disdainfully said that becoming an immortal was unreliable and called it the so-called greatest freedom under heaven.
On that old face, the disdain for this so-called immortal was evident.
But he should also be affiliated with the State Preceptor, why were their thoughts so different?
His mind filled with countless questions, he looked up at Long Jing and asked in a low voice, "Becoming an immortal, what is it exactly?"
As the two of them talked, with a few casual actions from Long Jing, he had already cleared out many remnants hiding in the ruins. Those who could survive under his Curse Technique were already quite capable, but under his technique, they died silently without any resistance, not even a ripple.
To those in the know, Long Jing Senior seemed like a disabled person, but as he walked through the ruins, he was like a master.
However, just as Hu Ma asked about becoming an immortal, Long Jing, who had done such things, fell silent.
After a long while, he slowly gave Hu Ma an answer, "Omnipotent."
Hu Ma was momentarily stunned, pondering the meaning of the word 'omnipotent'.
Long Jing Senior also noticed the confusion in his eyes and sighed softly before saying, "I wish I could give you a precise answer, but this isn't my expertise. Perhaps Iron Guanyin will tell you the real answer. She is the explorer of the Return Home Secret, while I only know that 'immortal' is extremely challenging and involves the most terrifying matters."
As Hu Ma listened, he also sighed softly, "I've met the Great Red Robe Senior, and I've been searching for Iron Guanyin as well."
"But many of us have tried, yet we haven't found her."
"..."
"If you can't find her, perhaps she's also verifying certain matters and doesn't want to be found by you."
Long Jing sighed softly and said, "But for me, the only answer I can give you is that becoming an immortal is just a delusion. It's even more impossible than what the Du Clan Imperial Clan, the Ten Surnames, and the Celestial Sect thought. Their pursuit of immortality, in our eyes, is just a joke, a lie to deceive monkeys."
"On this point, we have more say than anyone else!"
"..."
"What?"
Hu Ma was taken aback and quickly raised his head, "Why do you say that?"
"Because we are closer to the level of immortals than anyone else, or perhaps, we are the immortals."
Long Jing Senior fell silent for a long time, looking at Hu Ma seriously and saying softly, "But when we look deeper, there's only darkness."
Hu Ma was startled by his words and quickly tried to understand.
Just then, they had crossed the ruins, and in the pile of rubble, they saw a black shadow guarding a large black cauldron. Under the cauldron, countless wronged souls struggled, their souls rising like burning wood, and black smoke ascended. In front of the cauldron, those sinister shadows were shouting in fear:
"Mr. Tie, the Nobleman Zhang Family has treated you well. How dare you betray and harm the Meng Family's disciples?"
"..."
"Don't even think about it."
Long Jing Senior stopped in his tracks and sighed lightly, "When you come into contact with the Purple Great Guardian, you'll understand these matters."
"First, let's get rid of these people and take that cauldron!"
"..."
"Cauldron?"
Hu Ma reacted slightly and looked up, then suddenly felt a familiar aura coming from the cauldron.
A large cauldron was surrounded by countless people, forming a tight circle around it. Each person had their feet shackled with iron chains, tethered to the cauldron's rim, restricting their movement. It seemed that this very arrangement had saved their lives during the recent enchantment technique. Inside the cauldron, which had a diameter of three zhang, a purple qi rose, forming a cloud-like shape, akin to a lotus emerging from the mud.
"Is that a Purple Great Guardian in the cauldron?"
"Damn! With such a huge cauldron, how many are there inside?"
"Why are there only so few people?"
Among those standing by the cauldron, one held a charred weapon, like a fire-blackened stick, pointing at himself.
Long Jing Senior frowned slightly, slowly clasping his hands behind his back, "Is the Meng family looking down on me, leaving only this handful of people to guard against me?"
"You..."
His appearance caused the person by the cauldron to shudder, and he shouted sternly, "Don't speak recklessly!"
"If it weren't for the Meng family's elder and the Zhang family's third master going out to deal with that rogue, how could you have caused such chaos?"
"Quickly surrender, or the Zhang family's third uncle will soon be back to deal with you!"
"..."
"Huh? A rogue?"
Long Jing Senior was a bit surprised and smiled, "He actually has the mind to go out and handle other matters?"
"Is that true?"
Hu Ma was also taken aback. When she and Chen Abao had infiltrated, she learned from a Meng family member that a group had to go out to deal with a rogue, causing this place to be relatively empty. But after meeting Long Jing Senior, she realized it was all a trap, thinking it was just a rumor...
Now it seemed like it might be true; this place was indeed understaffed.
"Did you come down here yourself?"
Long Jing Senior was a bit curious and glanced at Hu Ma.
"Yes..."
Hu Ma was also surprised, thinking of the second cauldron head, who was probably waiting for her outside.
But he definitely wouldn't cause trouble; he wasn't the type to do so lightly. At most, he would be seriously waiting for her signal.
"Forget it, no more questions. Just kill them!"
Long Jing Senior shook his head, no longer concerned. He turned to Hu Ma and said, "First, bring me the Purple Great Guardian, then we'll talk about the rest."
"I'm quite busy too. I'll quickly tell you about the Purple Great Guardian, and that will be my gift to you."
"..."
"Hmm?"
Seeing him with his hands clasped behind his back, acting indifferent, Hu Ma glanced at the large cauldron. She felt the overwhelming purple qi rising towards her face and looked at the figures trembling around the cauldron, their auras thick and powerful. She said softly, "Senior, these people guarding the cauldron seem quite skilled."
"Of course," Long Jing Senior replied. "Those with low skill were killed by my enchantment technique just now."
"Those assigned to guard the Purple Great Guardian must have a solid foundation and the ability to ascend the bridge. Moreover, although these people look miserable, locked here guarding the Purple Great Guardian, this has become their opportunity. Few outside the Ten Surnames have the chance to come into contact with the Purple Great Guardian. Each of these people's skills should be no weaker than those who have ascended the bridge."
"..."
As he spoke, he glanced at Hu Ma, "Not to mention that you can't even handle someone who has ascended the bridge."
"Otherwise, how dare you come in to kill me?"
"..."
"I..."
Hu Ma felt embarrassed by his words, "This really is a coincidence..."
"Don't worry, just go ahead."
Long Jing Senior didn't bother asking further, but the slight disappointment in his eyes was hard to hide. "Although you've only entered the manor..."
"But I think you should be able to handle these cauldron-tenders."
"..."
Hearing his uncertain tone and the hidden disdain in his words, Hu Ma felt helpless. It was so annoying...
The Great Red Robe was more straightforward with his dissatisfaction towards this generation's reincarnate...
"Senior, rest assured!"
Although there were many difficulties, since she had agreed, she had to help.
Hu Ma took a deep breath and stepped forward, her mind already planning.
The two deadly moves she had prepared, the reincarnate's red talisman and the evil-suppressing golden cudgel, were now unusable. Her only option was to rely on her own skills. Although she hadn't ascended the bridge, she had pushed open three manor gates. These guys, despite their aura of power, had also been affected by the immortal energy. She had experience dealing with such opponents!
She wanted to prove herself here, showing Long Jing Senior the abilities of this generation's reincarnate!
As she thought this, Hu Ma secretly gathered her energy, but suddenly realized:
Damn! Why do I feel like an adult is checking my homework? We're almost the same age in our past lives!
