Chapter 798: Chapter 669: Contacting the Two Unlucky Guys Again [Seeking for Monthly Tickets, Seeking for Subscriptions]_2

Yao Wenxuan’s face stiffened, and he fell silent again, making it impossible to continue the conversation.

"Now, tell me what you need. You couldn’t possibly have come to reminisce about old times. I wouldn’t want to end up with a string of extremely bad luck just because we reminisced, and then spend my days leading a precarious life!" Wang Zijia said, seemingly oblivious of Yao Wenxuan’s rigid expression and showing no consideration for his feelings.

"Huff..." Yao Wenxuan took a deep breath before saying, "Can the Immortal Venerate still return to the Xian Gu Sect’s forbidden area?"

"Hmm? You want to go back? What for..." Wang Zijia’s expression shifted, then, abruptly realizing something, he said, "Are you preparing for your Immortal Ascension?"

Yao Wenxuan nodded, not avoiding the question.

"You already have all the spiritual objects so soon? Didn’t you say you spent half a year recovering from your injuries?" Wang Zijia asked, frowning.

"I was indeed healing, but what does that have to do with collecting spiritual objects?" Yao Wenxuan retorted.

Wang Zijia: "..."

"How did you gather the spiritual objects?" Wang Zijia asked persistently.

"To speak of it, I have to thank you, Immortal Venerate!" Yao Wenxuan replied.

"Me? What does it have to do with me?" A puzzled Wang Zijia asked.

"When we initially emerged from the forbidden area, didn’t we share the corpse of an immortal? It’s my first spiritual object. Later on, while strolling around in the foreign world and traversing back through the void, I happened upon an ancient ruins."

"Because the other immortal beings from the Central Immortal Domain didn’t prevent our exploration, because of this corpse, I serendipitously discovered a death-related spiritual object there."

"However, I was injured in the process, made some enemies, and was relentlessly hunted down, what a mess it was!"

"A month ago, while healing, I was chased into the mountains by some people, but surprisingly, I also found what I needed for the life-related spiritual object."

"After everything, I had the three types of spiritual objects. Though somewhat reluctantly, right in the altar of the forbidden area, the object suppressing the Old Ghost was precisely what I needed, everything together, it was enough."

Wang Zijia: "..."

Is this the god-level treatment he got from his incredibly bad luck?

Danger and opportunity side by side?

Almost like blatantly being spoon-fed!

Why do I feel a little bit sour even as someone who’s been leeching off him?

Speechless, Wang Zijia fell silent for a while, seemingly just in time for Yao Wenxuan to speak again, a passage appeared before him.

...

In the remote mountains of the northern region of the East Wilderness, an underground cave was hidden deep inside.

Yao Wenxuan was in the cave, communicating with Wang Zijia.

The skill of digging this hole was learned from Wang Zijia!

At this moment, he and Old Ghost Tong in his mind simultaneously perceived something. Yao Wenxuan flicked his wrist, revealing a magic tool.

It was the Anchor Artifact Wang Zijia had given to him.

Just as he pulled out the anchor, a Space Gate appeared in front of him.

Seeing the familiar entrance to the Duobao Realm, Old Ghost Tong didn’t try to dissuade Yao Wenxuan from going, as it was clearly futile.

After a moment of silence, Yao Wenxuan stepped into the portal.

...

Duobao World, at the summit of Spiritual Vein Mountain.

Wang Zijia watched as Yao Wenxuan stepped into the entrance.

Compared with the Yao Wenxuan he saw on the communication device, the man before him seemed different. He still had some blood stains on him and looked slightly disheveled.

However, his aura was much softer than before, without the violent temper he had when they first met.

With this change in temperament, Wang Zijia felt that Yao Wenxuan had changed significantly.

Ah, maybe there were other changes as well, but after not seeing him for half a year, Yao Wenxuan seemed much more lively to Wang Zijia!

"Greetings, Immortal Venerate!" Yao Wenxuan bowed respectfully to Wang Zijia.

After looking Yao Wenxuan up and down, Wang Zijia got straight to the point, "Are you eyeing the treasure on the altar?"

Yao Wenxuan nodded, saying, "Though I already have enough at hand, the addition of an item from the Altar would definitely add a touch of perfection."

"Whatever condition you request, Immortal Venerate, feel free to ask. If I can fulfill it, I will certainly not delay," he added.

"Let’s set the issue of compensation aside for now." Wang Zijia looked at Yao Wenxuan and said, "You must know what sort of ghastly thing is suppressed within that altar, don’t you?"

"The big shots from the Fourth and Fifth Epochs had their hands tied and had no choice but to seal it. Such an old ghost is definitely not simple. If something goes wrong and it accidentally gets released... Not just you and me, even Shen Hong will suffer," he warned.

"Plus, your luck... Going with you, I always have this feeling that I am courting death," he commented.

Hearing Wang Zijia’s undisguised disdain in his expression and words, Yao Wenxuan’s expression twitched slightly as he forced a bitter smile. "Immortal Venerate, you can rest assured about that. If I’m not sure, I won’t disturb you," he promised.

"If things do go wrong, I’d be the first one to suffer. I’m not stupid enough to seek death!" he exclaimed.

Wang Zijia evaluated him from head to toe for a while before saying, "Alright, I can agree to go with you, but before we really take action, you have to show me your methods. You can only go on after I confirm it without any doubts. Otherwise, forget about it."

"That old fellow may seem like a sinner, but once released, it is sure to be a reign of demonic flames. We would be the real sinners then," he warned.

The reason he agreed so easily was that he himself was bound to go sooner or later. Instead of risking it all by himself then, he might as well leverage this opportunity!

"You can rest assured about that, I care about this even more than you do," Yao Wenxuan assured with conviction.

Wang Zijia was skeptical. After all, being with this guy, there had never been any peace and calm. There were always various accidents.

"So, does Immortal Venerate have any tasks for me to complete?" Yao Wenxuan could not stand Wang Zijia’s doubtful expression, which seemed full of disbelief, and thus changed the topic once again.

"Speaking of which, I indeed have something I want your help with. I did not know how to ask before, so it’s been delayed," Wang Zijia responded.

"Oh? Immortal Venerate, just let me know what you need. If it’s within my power, I won’t refuse," Yao Wenxuan assured earnestly.

Wang Zijia glanced at Yao Wenxuan before suddenly asking, "If I am not mistaken, you cultivate the Life and Death Dao, right? Does your main Dao lineage include the Reincarnation Dao Lineage or the Life and Death Cycle Dao Lineage?"

Yao Wenxuan paused. He did not reply right away. It seemed as if the old monster in his mind was saying something, most likely trying to stop him from revealing too much.

Hence, he remained silent for a moment. In the end, he hesitated and said, "Immortal Venerate, you are right. I do cultivate the Life and Death Dao. I have delved into both branches, but I lean slightly towards the Life and Death Cycle."

Wang Zijia’s eyes brightened as he asked, "Can you resurrect people then?"

Yao Wenxuan looked surprised as he turned to Wang Zijia. ’You, an old monster who has reincarnated, are asking me if I can resurrect people?’

He remembered quite clearly the scene where he and Wang Zijia rose from the dead together!

Wang Zijia understood what Yao Wenxuan was thinking by observing his expression. He explained, "My methods mostly have certain restrictions and at least can’t work on beings who are fully dead."

Upon hearing this, Yao Wenxuan did not dare to guarantee outright. He cautiously replied, "I need to examine the target before making any decisions. Could Immortal Venerate show me the person you want to resurrect?"

"Of course!" With a wave of his hand and a smile on his face, Wang Zijia responded.

The next moment, the mountains turned and the world changed.

An abyss-like underground cave appeared in front of them.

Its darkness resembled a direct passage to Hell. Wang Zijia was the first to walk down into it.

Yao Wenxuan looked at the cave and, without any apparent reason, felt a chill run down his spine.

"Don’t go down there. I sense something’s off. Let’s just make a run for it. I’m always uneasy being around this old monster," the old Ghost Tong in his mind cautioned once again.

"I have hardly felt settled a single day with you, either!" Yao Wenxuan retorted before stepping resolutely into the underground.

As they went deeper, their surroundings gradually turned blood red, and the atmosphere slowly became more eerie.

Soon, a series of clay paper figures made of human skin, all stained and dirty, emerged as if they were patroling.

And then Yao Wenxuan saw various grim monsters.

A demon snake with writhing flesh worms all over its body;

A toad covered with ulcers;

An unknown flesh ball covered with flesh sprouts...
