Chapter 958 (2/2)

“If possible, perhaps becoming a mere mortal wouldn’t be so bad.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing hurriedly said,

“Elder Bai, the Immortal Road is not hopeless, it’s just that it has not been found yet.

I believe that one day, I will find that path.”

Hearing this, Elder Bai smiled and said,

“You have such determination, which is good…”

“I believe you will find that path.”

“However, I can’t accompany you any longer.”

Lin Jing became somewhat anxious,

“But, Elder Bai…”

However, before Lin Jing could finish speaking, Elder Bai interrupted him:

“Actually, I had already come to terms with it before I used the Forbidden Technique.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have used it.”

Saying this, Elder Bai smiled at Lin Jing,

“Now, there are still twenty-something years left before the thirty-year term ends.

I plan to return to the Xuanqing Realm, then find a place to seclude myself and spend the last years of my life.”

“Of course…”

“You all can come visit this old man, but don’t come to persuade me.

I’m tired and want to rest.”

“After these twenty-something years pass, I will naturally dissolve, and then I will be reborn and fall into the cycle of reincarnation.”

“This end is much better than for others, don’t you think?”

Lin Jing was silent, nodding:

“Yes!”

Compared to the end of other cultivators, being able to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation and be reborn is the best outcome.

And Elder Bai continued:

“After being reborn, maybe I’ll be a scholar, or perhaps a cowherd, or maybe a rich young master.”

“All possibilities…”

“If one day after my reincarnation you meet my reincarnated self, please do not lead me to cultivate.”

“As for cultivation…”

“This lifetime is enough, I do not wish to go through it a second time.”

As Elder Bai spoke, Lin Jing listened silently.

At that moment, the patriarch of the Changyun Clan entered with red eyes, carrying two jars of aged wine.

“Old Bai…”

“Why talk about these things.”

“Come, let’s drink.”

“It’s been a long time since we’ve drunk together.

With old Lin gone, it’s good that we have the young Lin here as a substitute.”

“Today, we’ll drink to our heart’s content.”

Elder Bai looked at the patriarch of the Changyun Clan and then said with a smile:

“Good…”

“Let’s not think about those things today.”

“Let’s, together, drink to our heart’s content…”
