It was not for anything else, but because of the person who appeared in front of him. Although his hair color and eye color were different, Yun Luo was very familiar with him.
So what if you wear a mask? Will the person who has always been by your side fail to recognize you because of such a small change?
Yun Luo remembered very clearly that when he came in, Yan Su did not come in. He should have been blocked outside by the dark blue light. What was going on now?
Yun Luo was able to come in by himself entirely because the little king worm wanted him to follow in. Touched by the little king worm's thoughts, the secret realm allowed him to come in. But Yan Su was different. Yun Luo didn't know what happened in the outside world after he left, which led to Yan Su now appearing in the secret realm, still in this form.
Sensing Yun Luo's displeasure, the black-robed man said, "You seem to be very unwelcome to my arrival?"
"It's not that I don't welcome you, but I don't welcome you to wear this shell." Yun Luo was not polite at all.
"Aren't you afraid that I might do something when you talk to me like this?" the man in black robe asked with interest.
"Try it if you can," Yun Luo said with a cold look in his eyes. "Let's see who's faster, you or me."
"Young man, don't be so angry." Seeing that Yun Luo couldn't be provoked, the black-robed man changed his tone, "I'm just borrowing this body. I will return it to its owner intact after use."
"It's better this way, otherwise I don't think you want to see your last habitat destroyed from this world." Yun Luo was not joking. With his strength, it was not difficult to destroy a secret realm that had not yet been formed.
"I wonder what's wrong with you youngsters? You have no respect for your elders at all." The man in black robe complained in a low voice.
Sensing the unstable spiritual energy flowing around Yun Luo, the black-robed man quickly spoke up to make amends, "I really didn't do anything to your friend. He was trapped in the illusion woven by the blue spirit. If I hadn't intervened, his soul might have been eaten by those little guys. I'm borrowing his body as a reward for saving his life."
Blue spirits are those insects that emit a faint blue light. They look harmless, but in fact they can devour people's souls without knowing it. It is obvious that such creatures are not native to the interstellar world.
Yun Luo had never heard of this kind of insect in his previous world. As if understanding Yun Luo's confusion, the black-robed man explained, "These insects grew from my bones. I don't know why my bones could give birth to such creatures, but it is precisely because of these little guys that I was able to create this secret realm, avoid the eyes and ears of the Heavenly Dao, and continue to stay in this world."
"You don't know the origin of these insects either?" Yun Luo was suspicious. Now he was almost certain that the person in front of him was the owner of the huge skeleton outside.
"They were there when I woke up again."
The black-robed man looked melancholy. "I don't know how many years I've been here. I've always been alone. I'm very happy to see someone come in."
Yun Luo didn't say anything.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to your friend. After all these years, I just want to experience the feeling of having a body again. Look at this secret realm. Everywhere is me, and yet everywhere is not me. Although I still retain consciousness, it is almost impossible for me to leave this place."
"Where is he now?"
Yun Luo did not specify who it was, but both of them knew that he was asking about the real owner of this body.
"Sleeping in this body."
Yun Luo looked at him steadily, and just when the man in black robe was ready for him to ask another question, he suddenly changed the subject.
"Is its birth related to you?" Yun Luo pointed to the little king insect not far away.
The little king insect has not yet woken up, as if immersed in an unknown dream. There is a circle of white spiritual power surrounding it to protect it from external intrusion.
"Strictly speaking, it is indeed my descendant, but its body contains not only my bloodline, but also that of many other creatures. Some of it has been devoured, and some of it is competing with my bloodline. For the time being, neither can do anything to the other. Once my bloodline becomes stronger than the bloodline of the other creatures, it will be able to truly evolve."
The man in black robe looked at the little king bug with a dark look in his eyes.
"You don't like it?" Although it was a question, Yun Luo used a positive tone, "Then why did you summon it in?"
"Your perception is very sharp, you can sense even the slightest emotional fluctuation. Now I'm really curious about your origins." The black-robed man retracted his gaze. "As for why you summoned it, it's my descendant after all. I didn't know of its existence before, but now that I know, I'm willing to help if I can."
"You didn't know of its existence before?" Yun Luo raised his eyebrows.
"If I had known, I would have summoned it long ago. Why wait until now?" The black-robed man said in a low voice, "It was only when you approached that I sensed that one of you was my descendant. Otherwise, I wouldn't have suddenly woken up."
In this long and lonely life, the only way to not feel so difficult is to let oneself drift unconsciously. Before this, he was unconscious for a long time until he felt the approach of a blood-related existence.
It would be more accurate to say that the little king worm awakened him rather than that he was summoning the little king worm. After so many years, meeting his own kind again was a very lucky thing no matter how you looked at it.
"I really didn't expect that one day I would meet someone of my own race again. Even though the bloodline of this person isn't pure, it does mean that I'm not the only one representing a race in this world anymore."
There was a lot of information in these words. Yun Luo was sure that there was only one creature in this world that looked like the giant skeleton seen in the outside world, and it was unknown how many years ago that this creature had died, and now existed in another form.
It is easy to imagine that if there is more than one existence like this in the world, how could there be no record of it in the empire? According to the documents recorded in the empire, the person in front of us should have died before the establishment of the empire.
The existence of the secret realm also indirectly verifies this point. The secret realm he is in now is definitely not formed overnight. To reach its current scale, it must have gone through a long period of time. For cultivators, thousands of years are just a moment. Judging from the meaning of the words of the person in front of him, he has definitely existed for more than thousands of years.
"How did it come into being? Can you feel it? Logically speaking, you are the only one of your kind in this world. So how did it come from? Have you ever thought about it?" Yun Luo asked
"I'm not sure about that," the black-robed man touched his chin. "I just feel that it has some of my blood in its body. Beings like us sometimes bestow blood upon our followers. You know that, don't you?"
"I know that, but have you ever given away your bloodline power?" Yun Luo certainly knew this. Even he himself had once given it to a little flower demon. Obtaining his bloodline power would not only improve one's own talent, but would also be beneficial to the path of cultivation.
Before he had truly achieved success in his cultivation, countless people coveted his true body. Wasn't it because after eating his true body, they could reach the pinnacle of cultivation?
Creations like them can be said to be full of treasures. If they do not have enough self-protection capabilities, they will only become fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered at the mercy of others.
"I vaguely felt that someone had been here before, but I was in a sleeping state before, and I was not awakened because no one touched the restrictions. I am not sure what happened exactly." The man in black robe thought carefully and said.
Yun Luo: "If someone touches the bones you left outside, can you feel it?"
"Are you saying it has my blood because of my bones? Impossible," the black-robed man rejected it outright. "Do you think I would leave my real bones out in the open? You can see them, but actually touching them is impossible."
Yun Luo understood. It was the same as the existence of this secret realm. It seemed to be in the same dimension, but it was not. Or perhaps there was a special protective mechanism around the skeleton.
If those people had not obtained the skeleton, how did the genes belonging to the black-robed man come into the little kingworm's body?
Just at this moment, the little king insect that had been in a deep sleep woke up. Seeing Yun Luo, it flew to him without hesitation and looked at the man in black robe vigilantly.
"This little guy got my things, why doesn't he like me at all?" The man in black robe seemed to be complaining.
