Chapter 144 A Higher Level
Gu Dan looked helpless.
Mr. Ji did not listen to the advice and had made up his mind.
Five years have passed since Gu Dan met him.
But for Mr. Ji, behind this struggle are decades of accumulation and hard work.
When he met Gu Dan, Mr. Ji just wanted to leave a legacy, and the ideal of advancing to the innate realm had never been placed on others.
This is the conservatism and self-confidence of a master, and they do not conflict with each other.
Human life is finite, and few masters are willing to die peacefully in bed.
Old Ji would rather live a few years less and seize the opportunity to try to break through to the innate realm. He is well prepared for the end of everything. How could he be shaken by a few words?
"Since you have made up your mind, I naturally cannot persuade you any further."
Gu Dan nodded slightly, "Whether it succeeds or not, there will be no problem in protecting you."
Old Ji nodded in satisfaction and said, "You are good in everything, but you are too careful about your life. I have lived for 112 years, which is the time of several generations. Even the emperor has changed four times. Is there anything in this world that I have not experienced? There is nothing to be nostalgic about!
Living a few more years, living a few less years, what does it matter? It's nothing but the same old things. You may not be tired of it, but I am. The advantage of staying in the Sutra Library is that we can have more books, less things to do, and peace!
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
From then on, the moral principles, the rise and fall of dynasties, the warmth and coldness of human nature, these things can no longer bind me. I will live the rest of my life for just one thing."
He turned around and slowly walked out of the Sutra Library. His voice floated and spread in the air. The martial arts master who had guarded the Sutra Library for decades walked forward without hesitation. He never looked back along the way, nor did he show any regret.
"That is to impact the innate realm!"
The firm voice fell in the air, like a deafening thunder.
The ancients often gained something when they observed the heavens and earth, mountains and rivers, plants and trees, insects and fish, birds and beasts, because they sought deeply and thought about everything.
If the place is easy and near, many people will visit it; if the place is dangerous and far, few people will visit it. However, the most magnificent, bizarre and extraordinary sights in the world are often in dangerous and far places, where few people go. Therefore, only those with ambition can reach them! Now, he is that ambitious person.
The sky is bright and sunny.
It was summer now, and the red sun was hanging high in the sky. The fierce sunlight was still scorching and irresistible. The thin figure walked under the sunlight, and a shadow was cast on his side, which was a little short.
"Tread, tread, tread."
The sound of footsteps hitting the ground continued and became heavier.
Master Ji’s aura was also rising continuously.
The thin and slender shadow cast on the ground was actually becoming thicker.
His skinny and dry body became tall and strong in a very short time, and the moon-white robe that was originally draped over his body was forcibly stretched out by his thick muscles.
Even his sagging, wrinkled cheeks became handsome and plump, and every time his feet touched the ground, it was as if he had retrieved something that had been lost over the years.
The strong and mighty true energy gushed out, and the volcano that had accumulated to the extreme finally opened a corner!
When he reached the final destination, Ji Lao seemed to be a different person, no longer showing any signs of old age. No one who saw him would think that this martial arts master was about to die.
At the end of the road is an extremely quaint and simple stone chamber.
Lacking the solemnity and majesty of the royal family, the house made of thin gray stones looks like a small mound of earth at first glance. Such a building seems somewhat out of place in the palace.
However, a mountain is famous not because of its height, but because of the immortals living there; a river is magical not because of its depth, but because of the dragons living there.
Because this stone chamber is where Master Ji secludes himself, it is the most outstanding one even in the imperial palace, and few people can go in and take a look.
Old Ji stretched out his broad and thick palm, and with just a slight force, the door of the stone chamber opened.
It's not locked here, and of course, there's nothing worth remembering.
After all, it's just a room for retreat.
Gu Dan followed behind him and walked in together.
The stone chamber was not very big, the space inside was only about two meters in size, and there was nothing inside, no furnishings, not even a stone bed or chair!
Gu Dan, who walked in with Ji Lao, was stunned. He looked at the stone door which was not locked and whispered a cold joke: "Did you get robbed here?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"You don't have to speak if you can't."
Master Ji glared at him. The ever-increasing true energy was not unbearable for him, but Gu Dan's words almost made him unable to breathe. He almost became a martial arts master who was angered to death.
Naturally, there are no objects here.
The interior of the entire stone chamber looked ordinary. The walls were made of exactly the same gray stone as the outside, except that the bricks and stones on the ground were a little different.
The floor of the stone chamber is paved with layers of purple crystals about the width of a human thumb. It cannot be said that it does not match the overall style, but it can only be said that it is completely different from the others.
But what is most eye-catching is not the contrast.
It was a small, almost oval-shaped pit in the very center of the stone chamber.
The ground had sunk down abruptly, and there were still traces of crimson blood on the slightly damaged purple crystals! Ji Lao's eyes also fell on the small pit, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. He stretched out his hand to signal Gu Dan to look, and said without hesitation: "The last martial arts master in the palace who challenged the innate realm died here."
Gu Dan nodded slightly.
Master Ji had mentioned to him several times the fate of another martial arts master in the palace whom he had never met before, so he naturally remembered it.
"The ground is covered with a special material called 'Purple Sun Crystal'. As long as it is stacked together to a width of more than ten feet, even the power of a martial arts master will find it difficult to destroy it. And the wider it is, the stronger its defense capability is. So far, no master has been able to understand the ultimate defense of the Purple Sun Crystal.
The ground here is paved with purple sun crystals and is a full two feet wide. Even if a martial arts master used all his strength, it would be impossible to cause such damage! "
Elder Ji's expression became extremely serious. "So, I have reason to believe that before he died, he had touched upon a power higher than the martial arts master level. He just didn't have the time to express his feelings, so he could only tell me in this way. Otherwise, how could the ground be damaged?!"
