Chapter 1895. The Ninth Essence (1/2)

He decided to wait. He still had nearly 60 years of life left. He didn’t want to give all the tributes his family had prepared over the generations into someone else’s dowry.

80 years of time was enough for a person’s entire life. For Wang Lin, he spent these 80 years in the Green Scorpion Temple.

During these 80 years, he could not absorb any energy and could not cultivate. He could only wait under the protection of the Heaven Defying Bead. As he silently waited, he seemed to become like an old man. A lot of things and memories seemed to become blurry.

It was as if there was a layer of fog that made it so he couldn’t see clearly, or it might be more accurate to say that his memories were sealed.

He forgot a lot of things, whether it was the Heavenly Bull Continent or the cave world. He even slowly forgot the danger he was in. He was in an indescribable state where he seemed to have merged with the world, but not like Spatial Bending.

However, in his mind, there were still some figures he could not forget and didn’t want to forget… Among those figures were his parents and that girl with the gentle smile playing the zither...

Some people stayed busy their entire life and would forget the purpose of the reincarnation...

Some people lived an ordinary life, and only when they looked up at the stars before their death would they suddenly remember that they had lost their pursuit...

Someone had subverted the entire world perhaps just to find a figure… Even if it was just a reflection, he was going to defy the world...

Time passed by. This time it wasn’t 40 years, but 30 years… After Wang Lin endured with determination for 110 years, the green-robed old man made a choice!

He could no longer wait. He had less than 30 years of lifespan left and there was no need to continue testing Wang Lin. He didn’t believe someone could wait like this for 110 years. This wasn’t cultivation, but walking toward death!!

He saw that Wang Lin’s body had become completely useless. Unless he had made preparations ahead of time, it would have been destroyed by those scorpions.

If the origin soul was there, then once the physical body was destroyed, the origin soul would be swarmed and devoured by the scorpions. He didn’t believe someone could endure waiting for their death!

On this day, on the 110th year, the green-robed old man stood up. His coughing was even more intense as he walked toward the space Wang Lin was in, accompanied by the two Green Devil Messengers.

Shortly after, the coughing voice became faint in the scorpion building.

In the green space, the green-robed old man’s weak figure walked out from the ripples. He looked at Wang Lin’s body that was covered in large amount of scorpions and pondered for a moment.

“I don’t know if you can hear me. If you can hear me, this old man admires your patience… To be able to endure for more than 100 years in such an environment, this old man couldn’t do it...

The battle between the Heavenly Bull Continent and the Green Devil Continent has reached its final stage from what the Green Devil Messengers can feel…” The green-robed old man suddenly paused.

After a long time, his voice echoed through this green space once more.

“If you can hear me, if you have really endured, then I hope that after you receive this great fortune, you won’t make it too hard on the Green Devil Continent… If you can do this, even if your mind still remains, this old man will give you this fortune without hesitation!!”

The green-robed old man muttered, his words containing a sense of fatigue.

“I’m already very old and will die in a few decades. I have been very tired over the years… My family’s mission is to guard this place...

“After I die, I hope you can promise to take all the ashes buried here and bright them back to the Central Continent, because that is the home of my family…” The old man’s words felt like they were his last words before his death; they revealed an unspeakable sense of sincerity.

But!!

In his right hand, hidden inside his robe, was a jade. This jade was green and didn’t need cultivation to use. Only each generation of Ji Si could use it. Its main role, aside from destroying things, was to detect the fluctuations of the minds nearby.

If Wang Lin’s mind showed any sign of movement, then he would not hesitate to kill with the jade; he not be so kind like his words!

This was his last test!
