Chapter 504: Old Man Wen Appears
The Earth Spirit waved his hand, and a contract appeared before her. He said, "The contents of the contract have been drafted. Simply imprint a trace of your divine consciousness on it. Finally, I remind you that this contract is bound by divine power. Once it is signed, it cannot be changed."
Tao Zi read the contents of the contract and imprinted his spiritual consciousness on it without hesitation.
The moment the divine consciousness was imprinted, she vaguely sensed an extra mark deep in her soul.
The Earth Soul put the contract away and said, "Just in case, I will help you fuse with the Half-Demon God, but don't be greedy, or your strength will be wasted."
Tao Zi looked up at her: "This is the power given by the Heavenly Soul. Is it too careless to use it against the Heavenly Soul?"
"Normally, it's impossible, but I will give you this experience so that it will be completely yours. However, the consciousness of the half-demon god must be extracted. Its presence will seriously affect your control over this power."
Without even raising his eyes, Tao Zi asked, "Break them apart?"
The Earth Soul shook his head: "Of course not, you can't master this power all at once. You need it to store the part you haven't absorbed."
She stated a fact: "It was sent by the Heavenly Spirit."
"No, you're wrong. It was tricked by the Heavenly Soul into coming here. It always thought it was there to help you become a god. Believe me, after learning the truth, it will only hate the Heavenly Soul more than you do."
Tao Zi was a little surprised, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just asked, "How do you train?"
The Earth Soul said, "You will relive all the painful past, not just this life, but every life before it. In the pain of these lives, you will become highly compatible with the power of the Half-Demon God. After this experience, do not lose yourself and become a complete madman."
She nodded in agreement.
The Earth Soul added, "By the way, the broken sword can be used as a carrier of the Half-Demon God's consciousness."
Tao Zi felt that she had not finished speaking, so she did not respond.
"But the broken sword has its own consciousness. How about this, you give me the broken sword's consciousness?"
Tao Zi still didn't respond.
The Earth Soul looked at her with interest and said, "When we were trading just now, you didn't even care about your soul, but now you're starting to care."
She said, "That's different."
Anyone who lives like her wouldn't care whether there is an afterlife or not. For her, this is a sure win.
"In that case, I'll add one more condition—help you refine the Blood Melting Box. How about that?"
Tao Zi thought for a moment, then summoned the Broken Sword and said, "The Broken Sword once saved the life of one of my masters. This matter still requires it to..."
Before he could finish his words, Canjian rushed towards the Earth Soul happily, and the sword body almost left an afterimage.
It seems that there is no need to ask.
The Earth Soul smiled and grasped the hilt of the sword. He waved his hand and said, "In that case, go and gain experience."
Before Tao Zishang could react, everything went dark, her body went limp, and she passed out leaning against the railing.
The Earth Soul gripped the hilt of the sword and sighed softly, "You haven't had an easy time in the past three thousand years, have you?"
The broken sword made two buzzing sounds.
"You are trapped in Jianshan, and I am also trapped in these ruins. Only when this ends soon can we rest in peace, and the Emperor's daughter rest in peace."
A breeze blew across the pool, and a drop of water quietly dispersed between heaven and earth.
The small grass not far away transformed into a human form. If Tao Zi was still awake, she would definitely recognize that this person was the long-missing Old Man Wen.
Old Man Wen had a complicated expression, but after all, he had lived for many years and controlled his emotions very well.
He looked at the Earth Soul and said, "This is the first time that a senior brother and sister meet. The senior brother should give a gift. Unfortunately, I came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts."
The Earth Soul gripped the hilt of the sword and said with a smile, "I am not the Emperor's daughter, so how can I talk about brothers and sisters? Even if I were, my master is only the Imperial Master."
Old Man Wen walked up to the pavilion and sighed, "Master always wanted to take you in as his disciple, but unfortunately, he was never able to do so until his death."
Dihun poured him another cup of tea and handed him the broken sword: "This is what you want."
"Thank you very much, including for Ah Zi's matter."
The Earth Soul shook his head: "The Sword Immortal once taught the Imperial Daughter for a period of time, and Miss Yue is considered the Sword Immortal's disciple. Logically, I should spare her life."
Hearing this, Old Man Wen fell silent. After a long while, he said, "If I had met the Emperor's daughter three thousand years ago, I would never have easily accepted her as my disciple."
The Earth Spirit could not deny it and said, "If it wasn't you, it would have been someone else. Forgive me for being blunt, but the thing you shouldn't have done the most was to be deceived by Heaven and push her step by step onto a path of no return."
Old Man Wen frowned, a hint of regret flashing across his eyes. "I really didn't expect that Heaven could deceive people, and I never thought that the Emperor's daughter would..."
The Earth Soul ignored his emotions and simply asked, "Will you still want to enter the world in the future?"
Old Man Wen's face showed fatigue. "I'm not sure. Although the alien race has calmed down and I can escape, I'm worried about being deceived by the Heavenly Dao again."
"No, she has been possessed by the devil, and nothing can be undone."
Speaking of this, grief once again appeared in Old Man Wen's eyes: "If I had known this would happen, I would have taken action at that time..."
Before he could finish his words, the Earth Spirit interrupted him: "If you want to save people from that so-called Qing Lan, you will have to reveal your strength and attract the attention of the aliens. By then, will you be able to conceal the true origins of those three people?"
He sat there in a daze, knowing that she was right. Even if he had known all this earlier, he would not have been able to save anyone. It was all just talk.
How unfortunate Qi Ran was to have such a useless master.
The Earth Soul shook his head. "In the memories of the Empress Dowager, the Sword Immortal always said that you, her young disciple, were too impulsive and unreliable. From what I've seen, for three thousand years, you've been preoccupied with killing aliens, yet your mind hasn't matured much."
Old Man Wen smiled bitterly and said nothing, deeply hating that it was he who survived three thousand years ago instead of his senior brother.
The Earth Spirit added, "Now that things have come to this, I just hope you won't ruin Miss Yue's plan."
"No, this is about Xi Jing and the other two, and she won't let me interfere. I shouldn't have introduced them to each other, I really shouldn't have."
"What's the point of you saying this now?"
Old Man Wen smiled bitterly again.
The Earth Soul's gaze fell on Tao Zi's face and said, "This face is so similar, but it's a pity that her behavior is completely different. No wonder the princess hates her."
"Before I showed up, what you said was indeed for her to hear."
The Earth Soul smiled and said, "She hates that the world has forgotten her sister, and she also hates that human souls have not inherited her merits in reincarnation. But whether as a human or as an alien race, she always loves her sister. No matter how many mistakes there are in those words, she will believe them without a doubt. After all, after three thousand years, she is exhausted."
Old Man Wen suddenly realized and said, "Tell me the truth, is it because of you and Tianhun that she became like this?"
"No, I just tried to preserve the sisterhood between her and the Imperial Princess. The rest was done by the alien race."
Old Man Wen looked at her and said firmly, "You've already calculated this, including the contract with Ah Zi."
"The alien race has planted so many spies in Xuanyue, we should at least return a few of them. Moreover, the Emperor Princess has committed grave sins and must atone for them. Of course, the same goes for me and Tianhun."
