Chapter 57 Old Taoist
"Little girl, if you want to return to your own realm, you must cultivate to the state of nothingness or master the spacetime technique to have any chance of returning to the past or the future."
You should know that in the midst of chaos, in the blink of an eye, countless worlds have existed for millions of years.
Therefore, do you still believe that the realm you inhabit still exists? Perhaps it has already shattered. To us demons, countless realms below would be destroyed in the blink of an eye.
"Your Majesty, it's just... alas..." Yun Dan sighed, unsure of what to say.
Perhaps, I no longer exist in that world, after Xiaoyu and I have been wandering in the chaos for so long.
Perhaps it is true, as the Emperor said, that a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years have passed on Earth.
"That's enough. You still have a long road ahead. Those who cultivate the divine should abandon the seven emotions and six desires, otherwise they will find it difficult to suppress their inner demons and make further progress."
Emperor Gu Yuan waved his hand, sending Yun Dan's soul out.
On the bank of the deep pool, a girl lies face down. How much time has passed is unknown.
The little girl slowly awoke, opened her eyes, and saw a beautifully made-up child smiling at her. This child was none other than the Ancient Yuan Emperor.
"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me, little girl?" Gu Yuan Emperor blinked his big eyes, his tone tinged with a hint of mockery.
Yun Dan came to her senses and realized that she was soaked in sweat and aching all over. She struggled to sit up.
Yun Dan looked at Emperor Gu Yuan and said, "Emperor, are you... are you leaving?"
Emperor Gu Yuan smiled slightly and said softly, "It will be soon, but before that, you should kneel down and kowtow to me nine times."
Yun Dan hesitated for a moment, but then realized what was happening and immediately knelt down and respectfully kowtowed nine times.
After Yun Dan finished kowtowing, Emperor Gu Yuan nodded in satisfaction and said "Good, good, good" three times.
Then, he stretched out his chubby little finger and gently touched Yun Dan's forehead.
Suddenly, a strange power surged into Yun Dan's body.
It made her feel incredibly comfortable in both body and soul, as if she were immersed in an indescribable wonderful feeling.
Yun Dan's entire body emitted a red light, which then quickly receded back into her body.
"My little disciple, I have sealed the red energy within you. This special ability is harmful to you now, and it will only recover automatically when you improve your cultivation level in the future."
Cultivate diligently, and when you reach the realm of gods, you will understand. May we meet again after countless eons.
Emperor Gu Yuan spoke in deep thought, his voice filled with expectation.
The sky was suddenly covered by darkness, and a golden light appeared at the bottom of the cliff. Judging from its light, it seemed to be urging someone to leave quickly, and it trembled violently.
"Enough! Enough! I will take my leave now, and you need not drive me away," said the Ancient Yuan Emperor.
Immediately, with a light wave of her small hand, a purple crack appeared out of thin air.
"Hmm?" The Emperor let out a soft exclamation.
“A tiny creature was sucked into my crack.”
Yun Dan followed the Emperor's gaze and saw that the Ancient Yuan Emperor pointed forward, and a dazed old Taoist priest in a tattered coat and robe floated out from the crack.
The Emperor smiled slightly and gently tapped the old Taoist's forehead with his finger.
Then he turned to Yun Dan and said:
“My little apprentice, this boy has some spiritual energy in his body, though it is somewhat mixed. It is still good for you. You can ask him for more guidance in the future.”
Yun Dan nodded respectfully, curiously scrutinizing the mysterious old Taoist priest before her.
The Emperor gently stroked Yun Dan's beautiful hair, then solemnly instructed her:
"My good disciple, remember this: when this child wakes up, you must warn him that he must never use his own spiritual power to fight in this realm, or the consequences will be unimaginable."
I have just helped this little guy cleanse his aging dantian.
Once he wakes up, be sure to tell him to wait quietly on this interface for the next opportunity to come.
Once you cultivate to the same level as this little fellow, you will naturally know how to travel to the higher realms.
"I am about to depart now, and I look forward to reuniting with you in the Void Realm."
Having said that, the Emperor moved like lightning, rushing into the crack in an instant.
"Emperor! Emperor!" Yun Dan cried out anxiously.
However, before she could say another word, the crack closed rapidly and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
At this moment, only Yun Dan and the old Taoist priest remained in the room, and the atmosphere around them suddenly became strange and awkward.
After the Ancient Yuan Emperor departed, the golden light also vanished into the air, as if it had never existed, and the sky gradually brightened.
Just as Yun Dan thought she should wait here for this venerable old man to wake up and find out what had happened,
A sound came from afar. Yun Dan turned around and stared, a sword suddenly appearing in her hand.
Upon seeing the person before him, his long hair was disheveled and his beard was unkempt.
They wore a leather coat made of unknown animal hides, and their lower body was also made of wild animal hides.
The other person was like a complete savage.
When he was about ten meters away from Yun Dan, Yun Dan spoke.
"Halt! Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Yun Dan looked at him warily.
Just as he was looking around, a voice suddenly came from beside him: "Stop! Who are you? Why are you here?"
"Little girl, what just happened here? I saw a golden light in this direction from the other side of the Abyss Valley."
"He came running over quickly. 'Little girl, do you know what just happened here?' the slovenly savage asked Yun Dan."
"Yes, the light just now was my doing. It's fine now, you can leave." Yun Dan tried to persuade the disheveled old man to leave.
"Don't be afraid, little girl. I mean no harm. You can't get out of this valley."
"So when I saw you, little girl, my heart skipped a beat," the disheveled old man said.
"We can't get out? You're saying we can't get out of this valley?" Yun Dan asked the disheveled old man in surprise.
The old man sighed and said:
"Sigh... Yes, there's no way out. I was tricked by my best friend 21 years ago and fell to the bottom of this Abyss."
Yun Dan exclaimed in surprise, "What? You were framed by your best friend? How did this happen?"
The old man fell into reminiscence and slowly said, "21 years ago, my good brother told me that he had discovered a mysterious treasure map."
He said there were martial arts manuals inside, and asked me to come and find them with him.
I thought he was my brother, but he suddenly betrayed me, injured me, and pushed me off this cliff.
Yun Dan said angrily, "That person is too vicious! Why don't you go back and take revenge on him?"
The old man shook his head and said, "Didn't I just say that there's no way out of here? I've seen through everything; revenge won't solve anything."
Moreover, I have lived here for 21 years and have gotten used to life here.
Moreover, I've been searching for 21 years. Unless one's internal energy reaches the Great Ascension Realm, getting out will be extremely difficult.
Yun Dan said admiringly, "Grandpa, you are truly remarkable. But you must be very lonely living here all by yourself, right?"
The old man smiled and said, "Loneliness is a normal part of life, and I'm used to it now."
Moreover, I have some friends here who have kept me company for many years.
Yun Dan asked curiously, "Your friends? Where are they?"
The old man pointed to the animals around him and said, "They are my friends."
In this valley, I learned to get along with the animals, and they gave me a lot of help.
Yun Dan looked at the animals around her, her heart filled with emotion.
She realized that humans and nature can live in harmony.
The old man continued, "Little girl, I know you are full of curiosity about this place, but I must remind you that it is also full of dangers, so you must be careful."
Yun Dan nodded and said, "Thank you for reminding me, sir. I will be careful."
The old man chuckled and said, "Look at you, all soaking wet. Did you fall down from there?"
When Yun Dan heard the old man ask this question, she did not answer. Instead, she looked at the old Taoist lying on the ground and silently sat down next to him.
