Chapter 573 (2/2)

At the same time, his bearing seemed to have turned somewhat ethereal, making him look like a son of G.o.d that had just descended from the heavens. And the change of bearing was not something as simple as a change in physical appearance. Rather, he emanated a sort of feeling that made it very clear he was an extraordinary person.

In the past, he had needed to use his unrivaled will to unleash a pressure capable of pus.h.i.+ng someone into admitting defeat without even trying to fight. Now, he no longer needed to make a conscious effort to achieve the same effect. It was a change brought by the increase of his strength, the acc.u.mulation of nine unique powers in his nine stars, and the transformation of his soul into a filthless soul.

One could say that Xiang Shaoyun had finally created his vessel of cultivation and battle, reaching a turning point in his path of cultivation. One should not look down on him just because he wasn't an Emperor. Just from all he had accomplished thus far, not even an Emperor was comparable to him.

Finally, Xiang Shaoyun stood up and gazed toward the depths of the Back Graveyard. He was wondering if he should continue going deeper. One ought to know that all the evil spirits nearby had dissipated after he had purified them. And he was in need of more evil spirits to feed his ghostrunes.

If others knew what he was thinking, they would probably curse that he was a madman. Others wanted nothing more than to avoid meeting evil spirits, yet he wanted to seek for more evil spirits. If he wasn't a madman, what was he?

Just as he was about to move, he found that a crooked figure had suddenly appeared before him. Although the newcomer had a crooked figure, that did not hide the fact that he had a st.u.r.dy body. His long silver hair was also rather conspicuous.

Xiang Shaoyun was given a fright. He almost a.s.sumed that it was an evil spirit with a solid form. If that was the case, it could only mean that it was an extremely powerful evil spirit. Without any hesitation, he unfurled his wings and attempted to flee.

At that time, the newcomer said, ”You don't need to be afraid. I am a human, not a spirit. You can call me the gravekeeper elder. I am in charge of the Back Graveyard.”

”Gravekeeper elder? Why did I not see you when I first came?” Xiang Shaoyun asked vigilantly.

”That was because you were thrown in here. With such a situation, it's not weird that you haven't seen me,” said the gravekeeper elder without moving his mouth.

”Then why are you showing yourself now? Are you going to bring me out?” asked Xiang Shaoyun. He kept getting an eerie sensation from that person, especially that pair of empty eyes. They seemed to contain endless dreadfulness, a pair of eyes one did not dare look straight into.

”It's still not the time for you to leave yet,” said the gravekeeper elder. ”I am showing myself because the time has come for me to appear.”

Xiang Shaoyun was completely confused as he thought to himself, What in the world does that mean?

”Since you're not here to take me away, I won't be taking much more of your time, then,” said Xiang Shaoyun as he cupped his hands and saluted the elder before flying toward a different direction.

He was still filled with suspicion toward the gravekeeper elder. After all, the gravekeeper elder looked more like an evil spirit that had hidden its form than a human. But Xiang Shaoyun had only flown for a short while when the gravekeeper elder appeared before him yet again. In his shock, he stopped moving.

”What do you actually want?” Xiang Shaoyun asked as he released Yun Flame's power and wrapped it around himself.

”Come with me if you have the guts,” said the gravekeeper elder before flying toward a different direction.
