Chapter 312 – Mutating! (2/2)

Creak!

The door was opened slowly, and then an extremely old and hunched man walked out while supporting himself with a walking stick. The man’s aged appearance and weak body made it seem like just a gust of wind could blow him to the ground! However, it was precisely such an old man that caused the Mink Emperor’s expression to change!

Elder Mu glanced at the Mink Emperor before he gazed at Yang Ye, and then he sized up Yang Ye before he grinned. “Not bad. 6th level Sword Intent and the fifth rank of the King Realm. Such speed is truly shocking. Unfortunately, your Sword Intent has mutated, so you’ll be unable to inherit the mysterious ancient sheathe! However, it’s fine because Slaughter Sword Intent is the purest and sharpest amongst all types of Sword Intent. Coupled with the Enlightened Sword Heart that you possess… Haha! Would anyone be able to resist a single strike of your sword in the future?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Mu nodded to Yang Ye, and then he gazed at the Mink Emperor who had a solemn expression on his face. Elder Mu said, “Spatial Mink. Hah. Xiao Tianji once said — ‘the divine treasure emerges, the violet pupils appear. Chaos envelops the world, the Heavenpath will clear. All living beings prosper.’ I presume you’ve heard of these words!”

The Mink Emperor’s expression changed swiftly when he heard this, and then he gazed at Elder Mu and said in a low voice, “Who exactly are you? Why do you know of Xian Tianji’s prophecy from 10,000 years ago!?”

“I’m just someone that’s about to die!” Elder Mu shook his head and said, “Mink Emperor, I can’t stop you from killing him. But if you do kill him, then that prophecy will cease to exist. In other words, your Spatial Mink Clan will be buried along with all the living beings on Profounder Continent!”

“What do you mean by that!?” The Mink Emperor’s expression was slightly unsightly, and the s.p.a.ce around him rippled!

Elder Mu raised his head slightly and gazed towards the sky in the distance. After that, he said softly, “Mink Emperor, do you know why no one has been able to overcome the Heavenpath after the Unfettered One cleared it all those years ago?”

The Mink Emperor stated in a low voice. “The Unfettered One was extremely formidable indeed!”

“He was formidable indeed!” Elder Mu smiled and said, “He crushed the entire Heavenpath with just a single sword in hand. Not to mention in the history of the past 10,000 years, even if it was in the history of the continent for a few ten thousand years, no one has been able to accomplish that. As for the future….”

When he spoke up to here, Elder Mu glanced at Yang Ye, and then he said, “There’s probably no one besides him who can accomplish that!”

The Mink Emperor glanced at Yang Ye and said, “Is that so?”

Elder Mu smiled and said, “Let’s speak about the Heavenpath! In the last 10,000 years after the Unfettered One pa.s.sed through it, no one has been able to overcome it again. Besides the reason that the Unfettered One’s strength was too formidable, it’s also because the difficulty of the Heavenpath has been increasing after his departure! The people outside don’t want anyone here to leave again. Do you understand?”

“Who exactly are you!?” The Mink Emperor’s expression changed once more, and he said, “You actually know about the ‘people outside’. There are definitely less than a handful of people on Profounder Continent who are aware of this! Who exactly are you!?”

Elder Mu spoke indifferently as he gazed at the Mink Emperor. “The Undertaker!”

The Mink Emperor’s pupils constricted when he heard this. He gazed at Elder Mu for a short while, and then the Mink Emperor actually bowed slightly while Yang Ye watched with astonishment and bewilderment.

After he bowed to Elder Mu, the Mink Emperor said, “According to legend, regardless of whether one is a human, demon beast, or any other race, the corpses of all the experts who perish on the Heavenpath will be taken by a mysterious expert and given a proper burial so that their souls may rest in peace and attain reincarnation! I thought this was only a legend, but I never imagined that you really existed!”

Elder Mu smiled, and then he glanced at Yang Ye and said, “I originally intended to foster him into the next Undertaker, but I noticed that the continent wouldn’t be needing one in the future.”

The Mink Emperor fell silent for a short while, and then he said, “Indeed!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at Yang Ye, and then he said, “Since he’s your disciple, then I naturally can’t make a move against him! Farewell!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Mink Emperor bowed once more to Elder Mu, and then he vanished on the spot!

After the Mink Emperor left, Yang Ye said, “Elder Mu, what….” Yes, from the beginning until the end, Yang Ye was extremely dazed. The Mink Emperor and Elder Mu clearly didn’t know each other. However, the Mink Emperor was so courteous to Elder Mu, and it felt extremely unusual to Yang Ye!

“You want to ask why he was so courteous to me?” said Elder Mu with a smile on his face.

Yang Ye nodded.

“Because even someone as strong as he might need me to bury his corpse!” Elder Mu smiled and said, “The Heavenpath is also called the tomb of experts…. Haha, why am I tell you all of this now? Go on, return to the Ancient Battlefield. Your mother is fated to suffer this tribulation, and you still don’t have the ability to resolve this tribulation for her. Go work hard to become stronger, otherwise, your mother, you, your younger sister, and countless other people will all die….”

Yang Ye was just about to ask something when the world around him spun, and his consciousness started to become blurry!

When he regained his consciousness once more, he was already at the spot where he’d met the Mink Emperor in the beginning!
