Chapter 848: Afterward, The Pioneers Of The New World (1/2)

On the green grassland, a white tombstone was quietly facing the breeze. There was no word on it, but it was filled with years of vicissitudes.

A young man stood silently in front of the tombstone, compassion and relief filled his eyes.

One man and one tombstone stood opposite to each other, not moving even an inch. They let the wind and grass around them move, as well as the rise and setting of the sun. After many days and nights, the tombstone was still standing on the grassland, and the man had not moved. It was as if he was to stand there forever even if it was the end of time.

The arrival of an unexpected guest finally broke the silence there.

The visitor’s hair was grey, his wrinkled face showing the vicissitudes of life, and his back was slightly curved, showing his old age. Only his pair of eyes were still as sharp as autumn water. There was a long sword on his waist, which was dotted with broken tips and looked as bright as the rivers of stars. This characteristic revealed the identity of its owner, the leader of the Spirit Sword Sect and the successor of Stellar Star Sword Divine Art, Daoist Master Feng Yin.

“You’re still here?”

Hearing the voice behind him, the young man woke up from his reverie, turned his head, and reluctantly gave out a courtesy smile on his face. However, he could not even reply to the greetings.

Daoist Master Feng Yin didn’t say much. He just stepped forward two steps, stood side by side with the young man, and watched the blank tombstone in silence.

After a long time, Feng Yin sighed and said, “The Will of God plays with humans.”

The young man was stunned, and then his face turned bitter, “God’s will? I don’t believe in God all my life, let alone God’s will. However, today, if it wasn’t for ‘God’s will plays with humans’… How could things end up like this?”

“Before coming here…” Feng Yin said softly, “I wanted to say condolences to you, but thinking of that person’s conduct and deeds, I really can’t bring myself to say it.”

The young man closed his eyes and sighed.

“Xia Yu did all the evil things in the second half of his life. Even I, as his son, ended up going against him. So he really doesn’t deserve to be mourned… I should thank you for leaving this hundred-mile cemetery in this reborn Southern Heaven Region for him.”

Feng Yin said, “Xia Yu is, after all, the head of the Immortal Path. In the first half of his life, he was brilliant and a martial god, and made great military achievements. And also, for a time, the Immortal World was once the dreamland of our Nine Regions cultivators. This tombstone should be dedicated to the Immortal World and the dream of Immortal Cultivation.”

“Yes, there’s no Immortal World anymore, and it’s impossible for a new Immortal World to be born in this great thousand worlds.”

At this point, both of them fell into silence again.

After a long time, Feng Yin asked, “What are you going to do after this? Do you really want to explore the Wall of Worlds? Actually, you don’t have to…”

Senior Immortal Xiaoyao interrupted him, “I know. I am very grateful to you guys for accepting me, a defeated captive, regardless of the enmity in the past. However, in the end, Nine Regions is not my home. I am different from those Immortals who ascended from the Nine Regions. I was born and grew up in the Immortal World, and that Immortal World has been destroyed. Although this world is big, there’s no place for me here. Moreover, the longer I stay here, the more difficult it will be to endure the torture of conscience, so… Forgive me, but I can only refuse your kind offer.”

Feng Yin, with some regret, said, “However, the Wall of Worlds…”

“Yes, the Wall of Worlds is dangerous. Even with Xia Yu’s strength, he was not sure that he could break through the wall. So, my chance of surviving this journey is pretty small.” Xiaoyao said with a smile, “But, to die in the cusp of seeing the new world, I have no regrets. Not to mention that in this journey, I will not be alone. I have a companion.”

As he spoke, a beautiful silhouette floated in the distance.

It was a slender and graceful woman, with a crystal clear gem in the middle of her forehead. Her expression was tranquil and calm, and she had a smile on her face. In short, nothing more beautiful could be imagined.

When Feng Yin saw the woman, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, “She…”

“My wife, Yanluo.” Senior Immortal Xiaoyao gently said her identity and, with a firm gaze, stopped Feng Yin from further questioning.

Feng Yin did have a lot of doubts in his heart. Yanluo, the commander of the Servant Army of the Immortal World, should’ve died in Wang Lu’s hands. Moreover, even her body was broken and incomplete. Later, although she was taken back by Xiaoyao, a dead person could not be brought back to life. So, who was this Yanluo? Moreover, wasn’t Senior Immortal Xiaoyao’s beloved Xia Xiaohe? Why did he call Yanluo his wife?

However, out of respect for Xiaoyao, Feng Yin did not pursue his curiosity, nor did he open his Stellar Divine Eyes to see the truth of Yanluo.

Senior Immortal Xiaoyao made another salute to Feng Yin and said with a loud voice, “I have been here long enough. Now, I will start on my journey with my wife. I hope that I can meet you guys again in the new world in my lifetime. When that time comes, I will prepare good food and good wine.” Then, Senior Immortal Xiaoyao took Yanluo’s hand and flew to the sky and then quickly disappeared.

Feng Yin looked at them from afar and, after a long time, sighed. However, before his sigh fell, he heard someone snort coldly from behind him.

“Huh, death is near at hand, but this bastard is still clever and eloquent.”

Hearing this voice, Feng Yin quickly turned around and cupped his fist and said, “Golden King, you’re here too?”

“Humph!”
