"But that black dragon's strength had long surpassed that of an immortal. Its soul was immortal, and its body could regenerate indefinitely. At that time, two-thirds of the cultivators in the cultivation world perished, including those immortals who were on par with me."
"Finally, we devised a plan: drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and using the spatial primordial stone, we successfully sealed the black dragon's soul in that void. Humanity won, but at an extremely heavy price."
"The spiritual energy of this world was instantly depleted, and the spatial stones were almost completely exhausted. An era has been disrupted. The most serious problem is that the black dragon's soul is immortal and will inevitably make a comeback."
"Among my disciples is a skilled physician, diviner, and astrologist. He foresaw that the black dragon will reappear in a thousand years, threatening humanity, and at that time, a person will emerge who can successfully slay this demonic dragon."
"However, divination is inherently against the laws of nature, and this time it directly involved the cause and effect of the heavens. Its life force was quickly stripped away, and before it died, it told me its conditions and turned into dust."
"Therefore, I, who meet all three conditions, am the one destined for us." How could Xie Wei not understand after hearing the Heartless Immortal say this?
Is this black dragon related to Ye Yan's destruction of the world? Or are the two things separate?
'The key was given by Xie Lan, and "Red Dust" was also a reward from her. My main task is to stop Ye Yan from destroying the world. So it seems that the first possibility is more likely. But could this be a subplot?' Being in the middle of the game and unaware of the whole picture, Xie Wei couldn't tell the difference.
The Ruthless Immortal nodded and said, "However, you are too weak right now. I will transfer my remaining spiritual power to you. There are also various rare and precious materials inside the stone coffin to aid your cultivation."
In any case, this was a good thing for him, so Xie Wei agreed.
"Hurry up, don't waste the young lady outside risking her life to buy you time!" The Ruthless Immortal said, about to take action.
"What's wrong with Xiao Qingying?" Xie Wei took two steps back and stared at him. He had vaguely felt the heat of his spiritual energy since earlier, but the environment seemed to have lessened the feeling.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the ruthless immortal caused the colorful spiritual energy beneath Xie Wei to become transparent.
Before he could eat, he was already suspended in the air, while below him, Lin Qingying was fighting with a man with a snake tattoo on his face, wielding a stick.
Within seconds, due to the vast difference in their cultivation levels, Lin Qingying was sent flying by a single blow, blood already trickling from the corner of her mouth.
“Spiritual power manifests, transcending the mortal realm!” Xie Wei saw the staff in the man’s hand, looked up and met the gaze of the ruthless immortal: “Why is he also able to transcend the limitations of this ruin?”
“There is no trace of cultivation of the ‘Red Dust’ on him. He is like this only because of the Avoidance Bead in his possession,” said the Ruthless Immortal.
"Averting Sense Beads?" Xie Wei seemed to have a vague recollection of them, but couldn't remember their function.
"The Aversion Bead is a spiritual artifact refined by a Manifestation Immortal from the same era as the Half-Immortal. It allows the user to temporarily break some special restrictions for about three hours. Given the concentration of spiritual energy in the present world, the cooldown time would be at least several decades."
"Judging by the luster of this bead, it should last for another two hours."
"Let me out!" Xie Wei stared at him, his tone not calm, but an order, not a request.
The Ruthless Immortal frowned, his tone no longer as friendly as before, tinged with anger: "The other party is at the half-step realm of cultivation; with your current strength, you wouldn't even be enough to fill their teeth."
"And think it over, kid. You only get one chance. Once you leave, my spiritual power will dissipate as well."
"You might as well accept my inheritance, and then I'll send you away to..."
Before the ruthless immortal could finish speaking, Xie Wei shouted sharply, "Let me out!"
Upon hearing his reply, the Ruthless Immortal laughed instead of getting angry, and with a snap of his fingers, he teleported him to the ground.
"Little Qingying...!"
