Chapter 1568 Master’s Beloved Disciple
Shang Zhang had been in frequent contact with the two girls during this period of time He found that they did not dislike the Great Void and were not as conflicted as he had imagined. Compared to the other owners of the Great Void Seeds, the two young and innocent children were more likable.
“Conch, you should come with us as well,” Little Yuan’er said.
Originally, Shang Zhang only wanted to bring Little Yuan’er along. However, since she had said such words, he could only bring two of them with him. In any case, Conch also possessed the Great Void Seed. Conch’s performance was only slightly worse, but it was not bad.
Conch nodded.
Then, Little Yuan’er looked up at Shang Zhang and asked, “You won’t refuse, right?”
“Of course not.” Shang Zhang revealed what he thought was a friendly expression. He was so used to keeping a straight face all year round that he had to force himself to smile.
Most people in high positions had this problem. It was quite difficult for them to be approachable and less arrogant. This was especially true for those who had been in high positions for a long time. It was something that developed over time, and it was so ingrained that it could not be changed overnight.
“Let’s go.” Shang Zang raised his hand and drew a circle in the air.
A brief moment later, a small runic passage appeared.
The trio stepped into the runic passage and vanished in just a blink of an eye.
It did not take long before a bright runic passage appeared in the eastern sky of the Unknown Land before Shang Zhang, Little Yuan’er, and Conch descended from the sky.
“Eh? I thought we’d arrive directly in Dunzang?” Little Yuan’er asked, puzzled.
Shang Zhang smiled and explained, “No cultivator is capable of doing something like that. I’m skilled in runes and can go wherever I want; even then, I can only use the runic passage that was left here.”
“It’s impossible even for divine emperors?” Little Yuan’er was surprised.
“Divine emperors are also humans. The powers of humans are limited,” Shang Zhang said.
“Humans can definitely defy the heavens!” Little Yuan’er said confidently.
Shang Zhang did not disabuse her of that notion. Since Little Yuan’er was young, she was energetic and optimistic about the future. This was normal and something she should experience and learn from.
After that, the trio flew toward Dunzang’s Pillar of Destruction. After 15 minutes, they hovered above the abyss.
Shang Zhang pointed at the abyss and said, “We’re here.”
Little Yuan’er nodded before she asked, “Can I go down and take a look?”
“Yes,” Shang Zhang said.
Little Yuan’er flew down and landed by the entrance of the abyss. When she looked into the abyss, she felt that it was extremely beautiful just like the magnificent and mysterious galaxy. The darkness and the spots of light were just like the beautiful starry sky she had seen when she was young.
“Conch! It’s so beautiful! Come and have a look!” Little Yuan’er said excitedly.
Conch flew over and landed next to Little Yuan’er. She was also shocked by the sight of the abyss.
Shang Zhang looked at the abyss as well, but he still could not figure out what was going on in there.
Little Yuan’er was originally very happy, but soon, she said in a low voice, “Did master die here?”
“Maybe. They said that the Unholy One also fell into the abyss.”
Little Yuan’er nodded and said, “The Unholy One must be a big villain. He and Tu Wei must have taken advantage of the situation and launched a sneak attack on master!”
Shang Zhang, who was hovering above Little Yuan’er, smiled and said, “You said the Unholy One is a big villain; I agree. However, he and Emperor Tu Wei were both supreme beings. Why would they attack your master?”
Little Yuan’er said, “I don’t know. Tell me. Is the Unholy One particularly sinister and cunning?”
Shang Zhang was about to agree with Little Yuan’er, but when he recalled what he knew about the Unholy One, he could not find a derogatory term to describe the Unholy One. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, “In my opinion, the Unholy One could be considered straightforward and upright. He’s the first person to have opened up a new and unique cultivation path. He could be considered an important figure.”
“Was he very powerful?” Little Yuan’er asked.
“There’s only one person in the world who’s a match for him…” Shang Zhang said.
Before Shang Zhang could finish his sentence, Little Yuan’er interjected, “My master?”
ILI
Shang Zhang frowned slightly before he corrected her, “Great Void Emperor Ming Xin.”
“Then, why did all of you treat him this way?” Little Yuan’er asked.
Shang Zhang said with a sigh, “You’re still so young so there are many things you don’t understand. You’ll naturally understand in the future.”
Little Yuan’er looked into the abyss again. She descended a little, flying to the left and right, but she did not see anyone. When she descended a little more, she felt her heart tighten when she saw the Confinement Seal wedged in the crack. She flew over immediately.
Upon seeing this, Shang Zhang reminded Little Yuan’er, “Don’t go too deep.” “Don’t worry.” Little Yuan’er landed on the Confinement Seal. After carefully studying it, she confirmed it was her master’s Confinement Seal. She could sense the remnant of her master’s aura in it. Following that, she activated the Supreme Purity Jade, and she began to glow with the Saint Light. She did not know why, but she felt that her master was right below her.
“Master…”
Little Yuan’er leaped down without hesitation and descended deeper.
Upon seeing this, Conch exclaimed, “Don’t go down!”
Little Yuan’er did not feel the danger. She continued to descend, and when she was about 3,000 feet deep, she felt a vast power coming up from the bottom of the abyss. With that, she did not dare to go deepe
It was also at this moment that Shang Zhang flashed, tearing through space, and arrived at Little Yuan’er’s side. He admonished her seriously, “Do you want to die?”
“I…”
“The power in the abyss isn’t something humans can resist. Don’t go down anymore,” Shang Zhang said.
Little Yuan’er nodded. Then, she asked, “Can I kowtow and pay respect to my master?”
“Yes.” Shang Zhang agreed. He thought the young girl was so filial that she really could not turn out to be bad. She was truly worth nurturing
Little Yuan’er hovered above the abyss and kneeled in the air.
Shang Zhang had never seen Little Yuan’er so serious before. From the looks of it, she was truly affected by her master’s death. He could not help but wonder if his daughter was still alive, would his daughter be like Little Yuan’er.
Parents’ hearts were always soft toward their children. No matter how many years had passed, time had failed to numb Shang Zhang. Whenever he thought about the past, he would still feel at a loss, and his emotions would fluctuate. At this moment, he decided to properly nurture Little Yuan’er and… to treat her as his daughter.
Little Yuan’er kowtowed three times in the
air.
Shang Zhang remarked, “Your master can rest in peace with a disciple like you.”
“My master won’t rest in peace.” “Hm?”
Little Yuan’er looked up and asked, “Will the Unholy One come back to life?”
“Who knows?” Shang Zhang said.
Then, Little Yuan’er said fiercely, “I swear I’ll kill the Unholy One to avenge my master!”
Shang Zhang nodded. “Very good. You’re very ambitious.”
At this moment, Conch drew level with Little Yuan’er. Then, she wordlessly kneeled and kowtowed three times after glancing at Little Yuan’er.
Shang Zhang was unaware of the relationship between Little Yuan’er and Conch. When he saw Conch’s action, he assumed Conch was affected by Little Yuan’er’s feelings due to their good relationship and was only showing respect to Conch’s master.
At this time, Little Yuan’er pointed at an extremely bright spot of light at the bottom of the abyss that was clearly different from the others and asked, “What’s that?”
Shang Zhang glanced at it before he said, “The power of the earth.” “It’s like a star. It’s so dazzling,” Little Yuan’er said.
“Is that so?” Shang Zhang flicked his sleeve. His eyes glowed, and his vision improved greatly.
The spots of light in the abyss seemed to be connected as energy surged and swirled like auroras. Suddenly, a surge of power tore through space, but in just a second, the space returned to normal.
Shang Zhang frowned. This was beyond his understanding.
Little Yuan’er, who had been observing from the side, asked, “What exactly is it?”
“It might be an unstable energy that can explode at any moment. I’m afraid this place is extremely dangerous,” Shang Zhang said. “I just want to know that if a person falls into the abyss, is it possible to survive?”
Shang Zhang said, “I can’t answer your question with 100% certainty. However, in my opinion, it’s highly likely that they’ll die.”
