Chapter 333 - Chapter 333: 333 Missed Opportunities (2/2)
If his lifespan were previously at ten thousand years, then at his current rate of depletion, he would be left with about four to five thousand years at most.
Saint Chaoyang next to him also sealed her body.
No wonder the Celestial Beings of the Four Great Sacred Lands rarely ever ventured into the Great Zhou.
So it turns out that the speed at which their lifespan depletion in this world was much faster than those of the Cave Heavens.
Gu Yang now understood.
These thoughts flashed across his mind in an instant. A phoenix had already flown out from his forehead, bearing the weight of both of them; with a flap of its wings, it shot straight into the sky.
Moments later, a pink figure broke through space and arrived, seeming a bit furious.
“Enough!”
A cold voice rang out, soon afterward, a green figure blocked her path.
“Sister Green Lotus, isn’t it a bit too late to play the nice person now?”
The Red Moon Great Saint chuckled softly, “That Emperor is known for his petty nature. Your actions are tantamount to betrayal, when he fully recovers, do you think he will let you off?”
The green figure coldly said, “It’s not him!”
“How can you be so sure it’s not a smokescreen he laid down? That’s the Emperor we’re talking about, how can I rest easy unless he’s completely killed.”
“Don’t forget, that Heavenly Lord as always had his eyes on you. If you really kill Sister, how will you ward him off?”
The green figure said this and slowly faded away.
During their conversation, the two auras had already disappeared from her range of detection.
At the words of Green Lotus, the face of the Red Moon Great Saint changed ever so slightly.
In this world, the only one she feared was the Heavenly Lord of Red Clarity Heaven.
Back in the day, they fought once before. The three sisters joined forces and were barely able to draw a tie with the Heavenly Lord.
If Sister Wutong really died and the Heavenly Lord came after her, she would be hard-pressed to resist on her own.
The Red Moon Great Saint silently sighed in sorrow, knowing she had missed the best chance to kill that human.
…
…
“It’s safe now.”
After flying thousands of miles, Gu Yang felt the vastness of the sky and earth, the Red Moon Great Saint didn’t chase them, and he finally let out a sigh of relief.
Although he knew that the journey would be eventful but not dangerous, the process was still too thrilling.
Any minor accident could turn into a sudden death situation.
Even at the Unleaking Realm, there is still a significant gap between him and the Celestial Being Realm.
Heck, one of them is a Celestial Being who has lived for an unknown number of years after all.
Plants inherently have a long lifespan and are incomparable to animals. Probably on par with ancient Divine Beasts.
Who knows how long Saint Chaoyang and Red Moon Great Saint have been alive.
“But the rewards of this trip were immense.”
Gu Yang thought of the peaches he plucked from the main body of the Red Moon Great Saint and felt content.
This kind of peach can replenish life essence. When Saint Chaoyang, who was almost drained, took one, she quickly recovered.
He accessed the system and initiated a simulation.
[…]
[….Actual Years: thirty-seven.]
Gu Yang was overjoyed with the simulation result. The peach could not increase cultivation level, but it could complement the life essence, indeed a marvel.
This meant that he did not have to worry about depleting his lifespan in the future.
Once the lifespan was nearly used up, he could initiate a simulation, eat a peach, and be fully rejuvenated immediately.
While he was thinking, he saw the young girl who had been stroking the Phoenix’ feathers. When their eyes met, there was a brief awkward moment.
