Chapter 1151: Chapter 726: Jiang Hui's Plan and Qin Chang Sheng_2 Chapter 1151: Chapter 726: Jiang Hui's Plan and Qin Chang Sheng_2 “Not only do I know you have a daughter, I also know where your daughter is…”
“I beseech the Adult to tell this old one the whereabouts of his offspring!” the old man immediately spoke, his voice filled with urgency.
“Do one thing for me, and I naturally will tell you where your daughter is,” Jiang Hui's tone remained unhurried and steady.
“Simply command me, Adult!”
The old man didn't even have to think about it. To know the whereabouts of his daughter, he would brave any danger, even if it meant climbing mountains of swords or descending into seas of flames.
With Jiang Hui's prompting, those heavy memories resurfaced. He remembered, and the memory was incredibly vivid. He indeed had left an offspring in the human world, a daughter. When turmoil had struck, to avoid being hunted,
He was forced to seal his daughter away and went alone to The Boundary Sea, and then…
The result was as one might expect.
He failed, not even meeting his primary target, his body destroyed by unimaginable forces, leaving only the Primordial Spirit intact, which was then sealed within a Dark Cage.
If it were not for the Dark Cage being suddenly struck by an external force and mysteriously damaged, he might still be trapped inside, unable to say whether he could have ever gotten out.
“I require you to enter the Dark Cage once again.”
Upon hearing this, the head symbolizing the old man was momentarily stunned, then it showed an incredible look of disbelief.
Be confined in there again?
Could he even escape once more?
Wouldn't that mean facing an endless degeneration and nightmare again?
The other eight heads, each of different shapes, were also somewhat dazed, but then right after, the eight faces instantly filled with horror.
If the old man entered, wouldn't that mean they had to go in too?
After all, they now were one entity, one team.
Although their fusion was not complete, at this point, none could leave the others.
Seeming to perceive what the other eight heads were thinking, Jiang Hui slightly smiled and nodded towards the remaining eight heads.
This time, the horror on those eight faces deepened, each one wearing a frown and looking decidedly upset, as if plummeting into the Abyss.
“Adult, may I ask why?”
The old man couldn't help but ask.
If he were to be locked in the Dark Cage again, what would be the point of finding his daughter? He would still not be able to see her.
Moreover, his strength was indeed mighty, but not enough to control the nine-headed creature's body alone.
Most importantly, he still could not understand why!
“I will ensure that you do not degenerate in the Dark Cage, maintaining your original sense of self. Moreover, I promise that once the time is right, I will naturally release you.”
“As for the reason, I will tell you in the future!”
Deep within the Immortal Domain,
The Ancient Land covered with endless white bones had existed for countless years.
However, thanks to a fierce battle that occurred here previously, it now appears incredibly tattered.
A sense of indescribable oppression still lingers in the air, as if the remnants of the battle's momentum are still present.
Across the ground, an unimaginable fissure spreads outward from the center of the battlefield, like a chasm split by Thunder and Lightning, with mountains shattered to pieces, rivers severed, and in the distance, massive Stars fallen, all crushed by unthinkable forces.
Of course, this scene of utter disarray was not left by Jiang Hui when he suppressed the nine-headed creature.
“`
It was the product of a collision between the Primordial Spirits of the nine-headed monster and others who had escaped from the Dark Cage and Shi Hao and his companions.
After Jiang Hui captured the nine-headed monster, he did not take away the Ancient Guidance Palace, as it was something made by a Quasi-Emperor and was of no other use except to capture people; it naturally could not catch Jiang Hui's eye, so he left it right where it was.
In one corner of the Ancient Guidance Palace, Shi Hao and the others found Qin Hao, who had been captured.
Fortunately, the palace was indeed as the creatures from the nine clans had said, suffering unimaginable damage, otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible to take people out so easily.
After many days apart, Qin Hao had suffered no injuries, and his life force was still vibrant; he only looked a bit down and desolate, as if he had received some inhuman treatment in the Ancient Palace.
His hair was disheveled, his eyes lifeless, as if he had lost all their sparkle, reflecting endless darkness and confusion in his profound pupils. With an ashen complexion, his skin, once like jade, had also become dull and lusterless.
His once snow-white, ethereal robes were now muddy and tattered.
Upon seeing Shi Hao, this young man with Twin Supreme Bones and exaggerated talent, once placed with great hope by Mount Bulao, nearly burst into tears on the spot.
His trembling hands tightly grasping Shi Hao's shoulders, eyes sparkling with tears, his voice choked, “Shi Hao… Brother… you've finally come! I thought I'd never see you or our parents again… *sobs*”
Qin Hao eventually could not hold back, and wept aloud.
The time he had been imprisoned, though the Primordial Spirits who escaped from the Dark Cage had not treated them too harshly, being held captive in the Ancient Guidance Palace was already considered the most unimaginable and toughest punishment in the world.
Inside, time seemed to lose all meaning, with nothing but endless darkness, on top of endless darkness.
But this darkness was not like the black of night falling, or like the similar blackness at the beginning. With the passage of time, Qin Hao could clearly feel his Primordial Spirit sinking deeper and deeper into degeneration.
Gradually, he couldn't even clearly remember what light was anymore, as if he had fallen into an abnormally endless nightmare, one from which he could not wake, leaving him continually haunted even after his release.
After all, he was a hot-house flower who had never experienced much hardship since childhood, with every cultivation resource provided generously by Mount Bulao as long as it was available.
“Don't worry, brother… it's all right now!”
Shi Hao replied with a wry smile, patting Qin Hao's shoulder, speaking softly.
It was only then that Shi Hao noticed.
Among those imprisoned in the Ancient Guidance Palace, besides his own brother, there was also the Qin family's old ancestor, Qin Chang Sheng, and Mu Chang Sheng, the third person from the Epoch of Longevity.
After so many years, seeing Qin Chang Sheng again, Shi Hao couldn't help but feel a little sentimental and surprised.
Sentimental because the other still looked so young, despite being the master of Mount Bulao and the honored progenitor of his mother's family, he even looked younger than a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.
Of course, Shi Hao could sense that although Qin Chang Sheng still looked young, the accumulation of vicissitudes within his body was inevitable; his realm was evident, and had he not come to the Immortal Domain, he might have already suffered a heavy destiny.
The surprise was that if he remembered correctly, Qin Chang Sheng had resisted the temptation years ago and had dug out the Bone of Longevity that had been implanted in his body.
Without the object of longevity, how could there be a disaster of longevity?
Why had he been captured as well?
Like Shi Hao, upon seeing the youth who had once depended on him, the old ancestor of the Qin family was immediately taken aback, sensing the exaggerated aura emanating from him and couldn't help but sigh.
Having once possessed the Bone of Longevity, he naturally recognized what that aura was: the genuine Immortal Qi that only those who had stepped into the Immortal Path Field could cultivate.
In other words,
While he himself was still jumping around in the Human Path Domain, the junior he had once considered to be an ant had already left him far behind on the shore.
The great disparity left Qin Chang Sheng speechless for a long while, feeling like he had wasted many years of his life.
Of course, if Qin Chang Sheng knew that Shi Hao had successfully ascended to kingship and had even fought the nine-headed monster to a standstill, even gaining a slight upper hand, he probably would have dived right into a mouse hole.
Time waits for none, always showing its unforgiving nature, dealing justly and calmly with every living being, whether strong or weak.
Under the light of a million years,
The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths inevitably became more broken and dilapidated, like ancient scrolls eroded by the years, with each inch of land carrying countless legends and epic tales of heroes.
Above the Nine Heavens, the once resplendent stars gradually dimmed, with only a few still twinkling in the dark, as if narrating that era of splendor. The Immortal Palace Temples that once stood proudly in the sky are now just ruins, as if toyed with by the mighty hand of time, left in utter desolation.
