Chapter 1022 - Chapter 1022 Chapter 638 Who Has Come Through Again_2

Chapter 1022: Chapter 638: Who Has Come Through Again?_2 Chapter 1022: Chapter 638: Who Has Come Through Again?_2 But he knew very well, even more clearly.

It wasn’t love, just the normal feelings that develop between people who become familiar with each other.

Moreover, he had true love hidden in his heart and could not possibly do anything to wrong her.

“Can… can you take me with you? Big Brother Zhang, you know, I want to see the world outside too!”

The girl’s expression changed slightly, then she spoke in an artificially casual tone.

“This… I’m sorry!” The broad sword man shook his head, seemingly feeling that his attitude wasn’t decisive enough, and after pondering for a few seconds, he continued.

“Ah Zi, over the years, I’ve always treated you like a sister… You should have felt it, with your gentle and kind heart, you must have guessed that I am different from you!”

“I know that Big Brother Zhang is a cultivator, but what of it? Many people in the village also train themselves every day, and how about being your sister? It’s just that we haven’t spent enough time alone together. Given more time, the temperature is bound to rise.”

The ponytailed girl responded without hesitation, directly and unreservedly, very forthrightly.

Ordinary people cannot save themselves from the claws and teeth of a ferocious and fierce tiger.

That tiger was a real Ferocious Beast, powerful, with claws and teeth that could cut through metal and stone, something even her father, who had broken through to the Insignia Realm, couldn’t achieve.

“It’s still different.” The man gave a bitter smile repeatedly but didn’t continue to explain.

“And I’ve already got someone dear to my heart…”

As he finished speaking, the broad sword man said no more.

All these years, he had made himself very clear and kept a sufficient distance.

But the heart of a young girl is ultimately difficult to calm from its ignorant agitation.

“I don’t mind, even if you have another woman, I don’t mind. Just being able to stay by Big Brother Zhang’s side at all times is enough for me.”

The girl sobbed as she spoke, revealing all the emotions she had hidden over the years.

“But… I do mind.”

The man sighed deeply, knowing no amount of talking would help and that only time could smooth everything over.

With a flick of his hand, the girl was immobilized, unable to move.

“Big Brother Zhang, take care of yourself on your journey!”

Watching his figure grow smaller and smaller in the distance, the girl wept profusely, aware that she wasn’t truly in his heart. Yet she found it impossible to let go in the moment and could only send her silent blessings.

…

…

Leaving Stone Kingdom.

The broad sword man headed north, spent nights on barren mountains, and in the blink of an eye, decades hurried by.

Due to a seal, his appearance rapidly changed from a vigorous youth to an old man, his temples white and his forehead covered with wrinkles.

On the road, he met a young man who claimed to be the King of Reincarnation.

The broad sword man certainly knew the name;, the former Supreme Immortal King, a great hero of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, who had long since perished in the Frontier Wilderness, his bones buried under the desert sands.

Most importantly,

this once Supreme Immortal King had even been deeply embroiled in a love triangle involving two men and one woman, which left him utterly baffled.

However, that was not the worldliness he was seeking.

Time flies like a shuttle, passing swiftly.

The broad sword man was nearing a hundred years old, approaching the end of his life, becoming truly elderly.

Looking back, all that remained were the traces of vicissitudes. As years flowed like water, how many past events had been obliterated, and what remained…

He could no longer see clearly.

But he had come to an understanding.

The secular world was actually everywhere; there was no need to seek it deliberately.

Looking up, it was all there.

…

“How is it? What did you see?”

As a voice, neither particularly loud nor exceptionally resonant, but deeply stirring, sounded.

The broad sword man slowly opened his eyes.

Before him

lay endless undulating mountains, peaks upon peaks stretching infinitely, like the wild dragons of the earth tangling and surging, partially obscured by swirling cloud and mist, creating a scene reminiscent of a splashed ink landscape painting.

In front of him stood that unmatched, elegantly towering figure, with its white garments surpassing the snow.

The broad sword man looked a bit dazed.

It took a long while for him to come back to his senses.

He hadn’t actually left the mountain at all.

Everything had been a dream.

The hundred-year-long dream bestowed by the adult.

Now, the dream had awakened.

“My lord, I have seen the answer I sought. I feared my beloved would pass away before that day, and in waiting, my pursuit of cultivation became my inner demon. In truth, it is better to cherish the present and have memories to hold onto,”

the broad sword man said earnestly.

Jiang Hui, however, let out a long sigh.

Sometimes having one’s realm too high can be detrimental; it’s easy to fall into a state of madness. Ordinary people might simply go crazy and recover, but for those with a high realm and immense power, it’s not just a matter of going insane–their thoughts might unleash a rampant demonic fire.

…

Alien Territory.

Dark fog churned, enveloping the skies.

The distant mountain ranges snaked and undulated, their shapes diverse, sharp and steep yet also smooth and sprawling.

Unlike the Burial Area.

If it weren’t for the Heaven Covering fog shrouding the sky at that moment, the mystique of this place would certainly be no less than that of the Immortal Domain, with many holy cultivation lands, and certainly wouldn’t invoke a sense of cold and oblique air.

Because of the Origin Ancient Device, even though the great domain was formed much later than the Immortal Domain, its foundation might only be slightly less.

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were still split into nine skies and ten lands, let alone the even vaster Alien Territory.

A majestic palace as vast as a starry sky spanned across the land.

Inside the palace.

Black mist flowed like cold poison snakes, surrounding the area. The terrifying pressure here was so dense that even a True Immortal would feel the suffocating horror upon arriving.

At the top of the great hall.

Several imposing figures sat loftily.

They were extremely tall.

Like towering peaks erupting from the earth, every pore on their bodies emitted dazzling light, as if waterfalls were cascading down, each breath they exhaled was intensely fiery, like rolling magma, engulfing the vast palace.

Their bodies were blurred, shrouded and concealed by chaotic fog, but just the slight essence that seeped out was enough to make one feel like they were looking up at the starry sky.

“Damn, this is so damn reassuring. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this at ease. That lunatic hasn’t shown up for so long; maybe he’s already fallen on the way. From now on, we don’t have to live in such fear!”

An Lan took a deep breath, gazing through the palace at a certain expanse of plains, a heavy note of relief in his voice, one that even he could barely detect.

That place used to be a land of mountains, but later, the lunatic turned it into a battle arena, and then, with power they couldn’t comprehend, forced the plains to exist in a separate vacuum of space.

Therefore, even though it could be seen, if one truly stepped into it, they would enter another vast space in an instant.

“What are you thinking? Lord Kundi couldn’t last three moves against him. Looking at the whole world, who could possibly kill that lunatic?” The King of Pu Demon said, his eyes solemn, slowly speaking,

The lunatic who claimed to be The Master of Liu Village was incredibly strong, far beyond the imagination of all the Immortal Kings.

They were not ordinary Immortal Kings. Some of them were already leaders, having reached the end of the Realm of Immortal King, and a step further would be to break the King’s Realm and become an Emperor.

Yet even so, they were toyed with and beaten like chicks by the other party.

Apart from shock and astonishment, there was also deep fear.

They were eager to inform that Ancient Ancestor, with whom they shared a supreme fate, of this news.

However, up to this moment, after numerous attempts at communication, there was still no response; it was as if everything had disappeared into the sea.

But fortunately, that lunatic had not appeared for quite some time.

“Boom boom boom!”

“Boom boom boom!”

However, at that moment, an abrupt change occurred.

Just as the words of the King of Pu Demon fell,

a rapid sound of war drums suddenly floated from afar, rolling in like thunder enveloped by a violent storm.

“This…”

Listening to the piercing drumbeat, the hearts of the few Immortal Kings present suddenly flickered.

They looked at each other, lost for words, staring blankly.

“What’s… what’s happening? Why have the war drums of my domain suddenly started to beat?”

After a long while, An Lan was the first to speak, his profound and impenetrable gaze shooting two cold beams, sweeping across the Alien Territory.

“Could it be that lunatic has come again?”

As he spoke, another Immortal King stood up from beneath his throne, luminosity swirling around him like a myriad of stars falling upon a Great Emperor.

The Dharma Phases of the King’s Realm were unimaginable.

“!”

At those words, the hearts of An Lan and Yu Tuo thumped wildly, like thunderous drums.

A strong sense of terror, the likes of which they had never felt before, made them feel as if their hearts were about to leap out of their chests.

Heaven have mercy.

Whenever that lunatic arrived, they were the ones who got beaten up the worst, without exception.
