Chapter 2372 Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten thousand years have passed.

"Saint Zhang, you are here!"

An old voice came out: "After tens of thousands of years, I finally waited for you. I thought... my old bones could not hold on to this day!"

"The life spans of you three families are extremely long. Why, is your life span coming to an end?" I said in a flat voice.

"No matter how long your life span is, there will be a day when it will end, and I am not far away from that day. Fortunately, I waited for you!"

She sighed: "You are still as young as in ancient times, and even... there is no change. After seeing you, I even had a feeling... I seemed to have returned to the day when we first met again!"

After hearing her words, I was silent.

For her, time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of years had already passed.

However, for me, time had only passed a few

days. But for these people who were left over from the ancient times, it seemed like an extremely long tens of thousands of years!

It really makes people feel infinitely emotional!

“I will fulfill my promise, and the reason I can still hold on until now is to fulfill my promise!”

“Ancestor!” the young voice rang out again: “If you really want to fulfill your promise, you need to…”

“Jiutian, you must not say too much in front of the saint!” the old voice scolded: “Over the past tens of thousands of years, my Burning Sky Blood Phoenix clan has gradually withered away. Now, you are the only bloodline left. With your temper and character, no one will protect you if you get into trouble outside in the future!”

“Ancestor…” the young voice actually started crying, and I frowned.

"Is the Burning Sky Blood Phoenix clan going to die?"

In the ancient times, there were many Burning Sky Blood Phoenixes sleeping in the Fiery Palace. Who could have thought that after ten thousand years, even the extremely powerful Burning Sky Blood Phoenix clan would gradually wither away, leaving only one sapling.

This is very similar to the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird!

Among the top three families, only the Dragon Clan is relatively prosperous. There are still a few Dragon Kings, not to mention the Dragon Princes and lower-level dragons. The number must be much greater than that of the Dragon King.

However, the Burning Sky Blood Phoenix can achieve nirvana in the fire of desire. Even if it dies, it should be able to be reborn from the ashes.

The old ancestor seemed to see through what I was thinking and said, "If you use up your life span normally, you can't be reborn from the ashes. You can only die from an accident or serious injury!"

"So that's it!"

I nodded. Normal death, that is, if you live a peaceful life, you can't be reborn from the ashes. You can only be reborn from the ashes if you are beaten to death.

"Tens of thousands of years have passed, and all my old friends have gone west. The marks I left in that era are still there, but my friends in that era are no longer here. Alas!"

I sighed softly, because at this moment, I suddenly remembered Mu Han, Chi Ruonan, and the group of people I knew in ancient times.

Those vivid faces seemed to be still in front of me, but they had passed away a long, long time ago, and now, they have turned into a pile of yellow earth.

At this thought, my expression dimmed, and then I said, "Do you have any other requests? I can do my best to satisfy you!"

"Requests? Haha, no, at my age, I have no desires, fame, or profit, they are just passing clouds. But... I do have something to ask of you!"

"Is it about her?" I asked.

"Yes, Jiutian is still young, but she is the last bloodline of my Burning Sky Blood Phoenix clan, so I would like to ask you to take good care of her for me!"

"The last bloodline?"

I pondered, because at this moment, I remembered something again.

The Burning Sky Blood Phoenix clan is a race formed by the blood of the Immortal King, and in the prophecy, the Immortal King will eventually awaken in one of the bloodlines of the Burning Sky Blood Phoenix clan.

But now, there is only this one bloodline left of the Burning Sky Blood Phoenix, and with Chujiu, that means there are only two Burning Sky Blood Phoenixes left in the world!

"In this way, the probability of the Immortal King awakening in Chujiu becomes even greater. Will the Immortal King...really be Chujiu?"

I shook my head. I really don't want Chujiu to be the Immortal King. It's not that I don't want Chujiu to become powerful, but because the Immortal King belongs to the Immortal World.

The Immortal King governs the Immortal World, and the Saints set order in the human world and govern the human world.

If Chujiu is really the Immortal King, then from now on, will we...be separated forever from the Immortals?

I sighed, then nodded and said, "I can promise you, but she still needs to stay at the end of the sea."

"No, I don't want to stay here any longer!" Jiutian spoke immediately, and said in a somewhat rude voice, "I have lived here for a hundred years, and I'm tired of it. I want to go out!"

"Jiutian, be obedient and follow the arrangements of Saint Zhang. Since Saint Zhang has promised you, he will never break his promise. He will let you out in the future!"

"But how long is later? Don't wait until I'm as old as you, Old Ancestor, before letting me go out? Then... what's the point of me going out? When that time really comes, perhaps I won't want to go out anymore, Old Ancestor. I want to go out more while I'm still young. I want to see the outside world. I don't want to be a frog in a well, living in this deep sea!"

After hearing Jiu Tian's words, the Old Ancestor was silent. After a long while, he spoke: "Alas, it's really hard for you. A hundred years ago, you were born in the sky fire, and you have been trapped here ever since. It's normal for you to want to go out. I was young once too. But... now is not the time!"

At this point, the Old Ancestor suddenly turned the sculpture's head and looked at me.

"Saint Zhang, hand over your fiancée to me!"

"Hand it over to you?" I frowned, and a hint of vigilance appeared in my eyes: "What are you going to do?"

"Of course, I will help your fiancée to achieve nirvana from the fire of desire. Saint Zhang, I gave you a method in ancient times. That method can indeed help your fiancée to be reborn from the ashes. But you refused. Then... there is only one method left, and this method requires you to leave your fiancée here. As for how long it will take, I am not sure for the time being, but I can guarantee that it will not be too long, at least a few months, at most a year. I promise to return your fiancée intact and in good condition. At that time, I will let Jiu Tian bring your fiancée to find you!"
