Chapter 1103: Chapter 699: Hey, where did everyone go? Chapter 1103: Chapter 699: Hey, where did everyone go? “Alas!”
The stout man couldn't help but sigh.
He indeed had broken through his own potential and talent, creating unprecedented achievements and breaking through to the Supreme Realm.
Especially, under the dual influence of Immortal Qi and Buried gas, he far surpassed those Supremes of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, obtaining a life span of millions of years.
But a long lifespan, after all, could not achieve true immortality.
The difficulty of his Immortal Pass was one thing.
Arriving at the Burying Ground in his twilight years was another.
Ultimately, he had exhausted most of his youth during his time in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, facing imminent old age, and invisibly faced too many constraints.
But without achieving immortality, he could not face the upcoming great reckoning with Huang.
Without achieving immortality, he could not cohabitate with the little rabbit.
Without achieving immortality, he could not truly revert to his youthful appearance.
Alas, alas, alas…
Thinking of this, Cao Yu Sheng wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.
“Woof!”
At that moment, a bark was heard.
The Big Black Dog had also climbed up.
It had been buried with the stout man and it was also time for it to awaken.
Compared to Cao Yu Sheng, Big Black Dog's progress was significantly more evident.
Before entering the ranks of the Burial Priests and practicing the Burial Master's Method, it had already been quite impressive, a Semi-step True Immortal.
“Do not worry too much, at worst just seal yourself in a long-life substance, and wait for this era to pass. Perhaps the next era will be an unprecedented golden age.
People of the world often vie with each other on talent, but actually, some eras are not friendly to certain talents, and even after countless attempts, it's hard to say whether one can truly break through.”
Big Black Dog walked over to Cao Yu Sheng, looked at this stout man, sighed, and for once did not quarrel but instead spoke to comfort him.
“I know, but I don't want to just muddle through life. If the next era is a golden age, then so be it.
But what if it isn't? I still hope to achieve immortality in this life, stand with Huang, and jointly face the impending great reckoning… otherwise… who else could be by his side…”
Cao Yu Sheng wore a melancholic expression.
From achieving the Tao in his youth to now facing a world frosty with age, although he always seemed quite timid to others, he, in fact, possessed a brave heart.
It just that countless failures made him somewhat passive and dispirited.
Before being buried into the Burial Earth, he was confident, believing that he had an eighty to ninety percent chance of breaking the Immortal Pass and achieving immortality in this lifetime.
But when he truly tried to make a breakthrough, he realized he was merely a fool's dream.
No matter how many times he tried, the Immortal Pass had only loosened slightly, and a real breakthrough seemed like it might take forever.
He clearly had enough foundation, but at the crucial moment, there always seemed to be something missing.
It was definitely not about settling.
He had settled for long enough.
To settle further, he might actually dig a hole and bury himself.
Big Black Dog pursed its lips, its expression somewhat strange, opened its mouth, then fell silent again.
“Are you trying to say that even if I achieve immortality, I cannot stand with Huang to face the great calamity together?”
Cao Yu Sheng looked at Big Black Dog, but smiled.
Seeing his thoughts were seen through, Big Black Dog scratched its head, sheepishly smiling.
It indeed thought so.
Huang was aiming for the title of Immortal King,
While they were still striving for Immortality.
How could they compare with such a distinguished prodigy?
Not holding him back was already good enough.
Cao Yu Sheng fiercely rolled his eyes at Big Black Dog.
Can't you die if you don't speak so bluntly?
“Have the nerve to say it, aren't you the same?”
Cao Yu Sheng glanced at Big Black Dog, then coldly chuckled.
The fur had almost fallen off, not replicating its previous lushness, bent over, yet mocking him? Just seeing others, not seeing oneself.
Compared to this Big Black Dog, wasn't he much younger, handsome, and dashing…
Whether others admit it or not, he believed it himself.
“It seems this life really isn't meant for us, unfortunate brothers.” Cao Yu Sheng turned around, his large hands filled with dirt from the nail seams, patting the black dog beside him, sighing incessantly.
He had wished in this lifetime to carve out a path of the Great Taoist for himself, yet this world was after all not centered around him; he was merely a passerby in the vast expanse.
He was, and so was the Big Black Dog.
Everyone else was too.
Fortunately, he still had a path to follow.
His master had once said that his physique was very special, clearly ranking among the top of the current world, yet mysteriously there was a layer of binding, cutting off the path forward to immortality.
Not suited to soar into the skies, but instead, suited to settle and transform lifetime after lifetime until the readiness was reached, and then the path to immortality would naturally appear.
For this, he was also given a very ancient method.
Not vying for the power of one lifetime, it emphasized achieving immortality within the Red Dust through the cycles of reincarnation, and while similar to the Red Dust Immortal achieving the Tao, it was also somewhat different.
But likewise, after achieving immortality, one would instantly reach the pinnacle, even possessing strength comparable to that of a Quasi-Immortal King; if one could immerse in it, the achievements achievable in the future would be even more unimaginable.
“This life asks for nothing else, only to witness the great reckoning with my own eyes!” Cao Yu Sheng shook his head.
He had long explained his situation to the Taiyin Moon Rabbit.
That little rabbit was very straightforward, saying it would go seek the path to immortality and wait for him to return during the long years after achieving immortality.
