Volume 3, Chapter 75: Meeting the old man again.

On the Avenue of Samsara, countless wandering souls were bustling about, heading in the same direction. The sky was dark, and the shrouding fog obscured the endless sea of stars above their heads.

On the distant skyline, there is a crimson light, dotting the sky red.

At the end of reincarnation, it is like a bright lamp, illuminating the way ahead and guiding the lonely souls.

And somewhere on the Avenue of Reincarnation, there is a stone statue, standing there quietly.

The dust on its body covers it, making it look ancient and mysterious.

Ye Tingmu came to the stone statue again, and the stone statue in front of him was still the same as before.

He stretched out his hand, stroked the stone statue in front of him, and called softly.

"Jing, long time no see."

However, he did not receive a response, and fell into a deep sleep just like when they first met. But this time, he no longer had the talisman paper to wake him up.

He closed his eyes and tried to communicate with the sutra before him in some way.

Thousands of years have passed, and the world has changed dramatically. However, he still dares not forget his gratitude to Jing. If it were not for him, how could he have left the abyss and reached the top for three days.

The bronze stone he gave me at the beginning not only repaired the broken sword, but also helped me in my growth invisibly.

Looking back on the past, I met Jing and we only exchanged a few words, but I received his gift. I was terrified, but also grateful. The feeling of gratitude has always been in my heart.

When he left this place, he also made a vow in his heart that if he could transcend the world in the future, he would break the cycle of reincarnation and come to thank him in person.

So I came here today to comprehend the laws and reach the peak of immortality. I also have a wish, which is to complete what happened in the past and repay my gratitude.

A favor must be repaid, this is Ye Tingmu's philosophy in dealing with people and things.

If possible, he wanted to take the scriptures away from here and not have to sleep here forever.

But now he is unable to wake up Jing, which makes him feel distressed and his brows are tightly furrowed.

If you think about it carefully, the appearance of the sutra is actually surprisingly similar to the stone carving on the giant gate that you saw outside the fairy mountain.

When I first chatted with Su Changge, we also mentioned the Sutra.

It was originally thought that the sutra was left by Su Changge, but Su Changge said that the sutra was not left by him, and he did not know who left it.

He was also curious about why Chinese characters appeared on the body of the scripture and who they came from. Su Changge also said he didn't know.

This question made both of them fall into deep thought. Perhaps only Jing himself knew all this.

This also foreshadows a problem. Before Su Changge and Ye Tingmu, perhaps someone had already appeared in the divine universe before them, and even left traces on this cycle of reincarnation.

This person also came from Blue Star, or in other words, this person was of the same lineage as them and was their ancestor.

Just as Ye Tingmu was thinking, a gust of wind suddenly blew, carrying a familiar smell.

Ye Tingmu's eyebrows twitched, and his thoughts ended.

Just as he raised his head, an old voice sounded from above his stone statue.

“Here I come.”

Ye Tingmu also looked up, his eyes fixed on the top of the bronze statue.

What came into view was the old man from before, he was still wearing the same long grey robe, his beard was grey and dancing with the wind.

There is mystery in his body, but his face is still kind.

Just like when we first met, the old man was still the same old man, unchanged at all. Thousands of years had passed, but no traces had been left on his already aged face.

A hint of joy flashed in Ye Tingmu's eyes and he nodded heavily.

"Yeah, here I come."

Then he came to his senses, shook his sleeves, knelt on his knees, and bowed deeply to the old man in front of him.

"Junior Ye Tingmu pays homage to the old senior and thanks him for his guidance back then."

The old man held his long beard and slowly floated down from the stone statue. Then he raised his hand and a gentle breeze gently lifted Ye Tingmu's body and lifted him up.

"No need for such a grand ceremony. It was just an unintentional act back then. I feel unworthy of it. Hahahaha."

Ye Tingmu stood up, looked directly at the old man, and said seriously: "Senior, you are humble, but I dare not forget. If you hadn't saved me, I would have died. If you hadn't guided me, I would have died too. If you hadn't given me the skills, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today, and I wouldn't be here."

"Senior, you saved my life, gave me a chance, and gave me a new life. You deserve this respect from me."

He once declared, and taught, his younger brothers and sisters that as human beings, one should stand tall and upright, not kneeling to heaven above or to the earth below, and not to any living thing in the world.

Only kneel to three people: one is your parents and teachers, two is someone of high moral character and prestige, and three is your benefactor.

To him, the old man in front of him was his teacher and benefactor, and therefore worthy of his respect.

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, looked kind, and smiled gently.

"It's just a small favor, no need to worry about it. I knew you had great luck back then. As expected, you've already reached this point in less than ten thousand years. You're truly remarkable."

What he said was indeed what was in his heart. It was a miracle in itself that Ye Tingmu could get here in such a short time.

Even if someone paves the way for it, this speed is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

He could feel that the powerful aura of Ye Tingmu's soul already possessed the power of immortality. Being able to reach this point meant that he had mastered the ability to break through space.

He also understood the laws of years and time. As long as he completed this final cycle, he would be able to reach the pinnacle of life and the realm of immortality.

And if he remembered correctly, it only took him 8,000 years to complete this process.

This period of time is naturally long for ordinary people, but as an immortal and powerful being, he has also walked the same path before.

It took him hundreds of thousands of years to reach Ye Tingmu's level.

Perhaps you could say that he himself has mediocre talent, but in his cognition, under this starry sky, there has been an immortal who has broken through, and the fastest one took tens of thousands of years, and that person is the Immortal King of the Eternal Fairyland.

He is also extremely talented, but don't forget that he is blessed by the heavens.

So, with the same outstanding talent and with the same people paving the way for him, Ye Tingmu was able to progress so fast, which shows that he is better than them.

This is beyond doubt.

However, what he didn't know was that he was the one who contributed greatly to Ye Tingmu's rapid progress. If it weren't for the Wu character technique, Ye Tingmu would have reached the pinnacle before reaching the realm of Immortal Venerable.

The road ahead will naturally not be so smooth.

It is precisely because he has a solid foundation that he can make great progress and achieve success as fast as running when he is promoted to immortality.

Ye Tingmu replied respectfully, "Thank you for your compliment, Senior. I just took advantage of it."

Facing Ye Tingmu's modesty, the old man just smiled and asked, "Since you are here, are you interested in playing a game of chess with me?"

"It is better to obey than to be respectful. I am willing to follow the arrangements of the senior."

"Okay, follow me..."
