Chapter 741 - At that time, the Wielder of the Will got bored (2/2)

“This ‘existence’ I’m talking about isn’t related to the body or the soul… in fact, that mysterious enemy was standing in front of me undamaged even after suffering the effects of the innate skill. However, even if it was ‘standing’ in front of me, part of its ‘existence’ had already disappeared, and it was no longer complete.

“After that, that ‘Immortal’ became the new Wielder of the Will, and my old and worthless died in its hands, getting destroyed both in soul and body.”

After speaking up to this point, the voice of the Sage finally stopped.

His life had ultimately come to an end.

Both his soul and body were destroyed!

❄️❄️❄️

Since both his soul and body were destroyed, it meant that the ‘Sage’ was thoroughly dead and wouldn’t have the possibility to reincarnate in the future.

Such being the case, what was the deal with the ‘Sage’ before their eyes?

“Is this something akin to a video recording?” Song Shuhang asked in puzzlement.

True Monarch Eternal Fire, True Monarch Fallout, and Scholar Drunken Moan were likewise confused.

There were no fluctuations of spiritual energy coming from the body of this ‘Sage’ in front of them. Moreover, from beginning to end, the ‘Sage’ had narrated the story of his amazing life, and hadn’t paid any attention to Song Shuhang and True Monarch Eternal Fire when the two of them had tried to talk to him.

Perhaps it’s something similar to the recording that Immortal Cheng Lin left behind…? True Monarch Fallout thought to himself.

True Monarch Eternal Fire forced a smile, and said, “The Sage has already pa.s.sed away, and nothing can change this fact. Why was I even getting my hopes up?”

Just now, he’d really wished for the Sage to be alive so that he could lead the scholars to a new golden age.

Even if the Sage didn’t do anything after coming back and only hid behind the scenes, it would still be an incredible boost to the morale of the members of the scholarly faction.

I have to overcome this inner demon, True Monarch Eternal Fire thought to himself.

❄️❄️❄️

Just as all the fellow daoists were sighing with emotion, Venerable White held his chin, closely examining the video recording of the ‘Sage’.

Song Shuhang silently sighed. From the looks of it, the l.u.s.trous scholar left behind that sentence—’Overturn the Mountain of Myriad Books, the Still Pond of Wisdom…’—so that they could find the video recording of the Sage and come to know about the past events related to him…

Well, perhaps this information was very valuable for scholarly disciples, but it wasn’t of any use to Shuhang!

But right at this time, Venerable White laughed, and said, “Both the body and soul of the Sage were destroyed… in that case, what kind of method did he use to make you appear in this place?”

Since the Sage had died while battling against the new Wielder of the Will, who left behind this recording?

The content of the recording was the autobiography of the Sage, and the events narrated were seen in hindsight, after the battle between him and the new Wielder of the Will took place.

However, the ‘Sage’ in front of them didn’t move and didn’t reply to the questions of the people present.

“Shuhang, go pinch the Sage,” Venerable White said.

“Ah?” Song Shuhang pointed at himself, and then looked at the nearby True Monarch Eternal Fire. The person in front of them was the Scholarly Sage; wouldn’t True Monarch Eternal Fire get angry if he were to pinch him?

“Leave it to me!” At this time, True Monarch Eternal Fire gritted his teeth and took a step forward, stretching out his hand and preparing to touch the ‘Sage’.

However, True Monarch Eternal Fire’s hand had yet to reach its destination when his body was suddenly sent flying and fell to the ground. He fell in a rather tragic manner, but something of the sort was unable to cause True Monarch Eternal Fire any harm.

True Monarch Eternal Fire’s eyes immediately lit up. “Sage!”

The Scholarly Sage was still alive!

“I’m sorry, but I got distracted just now. Has the broadcast of the last words of the Sage ended?” The ‘Sage’ turned his head around, and said, “At this time, I’m communicating with you all through a method that is hard to describe with words. Therefore, I frequently get distracted.”

The way he was speaking this time was different from before, and he didn’t refer to himself as ‘my old and worthless self’.

In addition, he talked about the ‘last words of the Sage’. In other words, that super amazing tale from before was really a recording?

“Let me introduce myself again.” The ‘Sage’ faintly smiled, and said, “I’m the Still Pond of Wisdom.”

“…” Song Shuhang.

First, they met that Mountain of Myriad Books that liked to stand upside down, and now this human-like ‘Still Pond of Wisdom’ that can speak…?
