"You brat, you're useless." Xi Fu shook his head with a smile. "My life is hanging by a thread. Even the Great Immortal Pill can't save me. Eating this meat would just be a waste."
"What did you say?" Wang Yao stared wide-eyed in astonishment.
"But don't worry. Since you already know something about the underworld, you should know that reincarnation is the way of heaven. I, Xi Fu, have traversed the six realms for thousands of years. How could I be controlled by a few ghosts? You should have some confidence in me."
Xi Fu's low voice, however, revealed an undisguised sense of pride.
"But...didn't you say that your immortal spiritual power is suppressed now, and as long as your immortal body doesn't collapse, you won't die?" Wang Yao still didn't believe Xi Fu's words that he was going to die.
“Isn’t my throat cleared? My immortal body was on the verge of collapse, and this little bit of immortal spiritual power is enough to send me to the underworld.” Xi Fu smiled slightly. “Actually, it’s very good. I’m tired of staying here and was just thinking about changing places. You just happened to come and help me a lot.”
"No... Hurry up and eat the meat, then you'll be fine..." Wang Yao was still struggling.
"It's too late, brat. Isn't this a good thing? I'm a hero as a human, a great immortal as an immortal, and a mighty ghost as a ghost. As long as I'm still roaming in these six realms, it's all the same wherever I go. Don't worry about it." Xi Fu advised with a smile.
"Fairy Maiden, he...he won't eat...what should we do...?" Wang Yao felt something was wrong, something was definitely wrong! Something was definitely wrong. He could have saved Xi Fu, how could this have happened? How did he end up being the one to see Xi Fu to his death?
“Old Xi is right. Even if he eats the meat now and elevates himself to the Nascent Soul stage, he will still have to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation once he goes out. His immortal body is already broken, how can he possibly survive the tribulation? He will die from the collapse of his immortal body before he even has to absorb the spiritual energy.” The fairy maiden also advised from the side.
"You...you lied to me! You never mentioned the Heavenly Tribulation before, you...you lied to me! You..." Wang Yao pointed at the fairy and roared angrily.
"I... I only heard about it from the Heavenly Emperor before, how could I have known that Old Xi's immortal body had reached this level? I didn't know either," the fairy explained sadly.
"You brat, everything is predestined, life and death are in your own hands, how can you blame others? You're too attached to appearances!" Xi Fu glared at Wang Yao with a stern expression. "If you were killed by the enemy on the battlefield, could you blame the enemy for killing you? Then wasn't it wrong of you to kill the enemy as well?"
"Everyone must be responsible for their own actions, especially in matters of life and death. How can you blame others? And how can others be responsible for you?"
"You must remember this: what I can't stand the most is when something goes wrong, you complain about everything and never blame yourself for being stupid or incompetent."
"Just like that Matchmaker interface panel in your hand and the Matchmaker system on your body, have you ever thought about what you would do if you were without those two things?" Xi Fu said, looking intently at Wang Yao.
"The biggest mistake I've ever made in my life is relying too much on those two things. Why is it so hard to make any further progress after reaching the Nascent Soul stage? It's because I was too good at using the Matchmaker System back then, and I'm not used to not using it anymore. But the Heavenly Court helped me become an immortal, enter the Foundation Establishment stage, form the Golden Core, and achieve the Nascent Soul stage."
"But I can no longer help you enter the Nascent Soul stage. In the end, you still have to rely on yourself. But once you become dependent, you will be unable to do anything when you rely on yourself. Rather than regretting it in the end, it is better to firmly believe in relying on yourself from the beginning."
Wang Yao stared blankly at Xi Fu, feeling that his words were profound. His heart surged with emotion, and countless thoughts rushed through his mind. He listened in a daze, dumbfounded.
"I know what you're going to ask me is probably still about the use and control of the Matchmaker System, but my time is up and I don't have time to explain it to you in detail. Moreover, as your cultivation level increases, you will face more and more problems, and I can't stay by your side forever."
"So, you brat! Always ask yourself questions and use your brain. If you really have any problems with cultivation, this fairy is a rare and good teacher. Brat, it seems that passing on the Matchmaker System to you is the best thing I've ever done in my life."
As Xi Fu spoke, his entire face seemed to glow.
"You're great, I'm very pleased. You brat, you better remember this: whatever I do, you don't need to worry about the consequences. Just follow your heart, I trust your judgment. Remember, you have to be responsible for yourself. It's better to rely on yourself than on others."
"If you're skilled, do more; if you're not, do less. Don't be stupid, and don't try to be a hero. You should know that in this Six Realms, heroes die the fastest. Kid, the green hills remain, the green waters flow on, I'm off..."
As Xi Fu spoke, points of light slowly emanated from his body, like a planet in the vast universe suddenly bursting into flames.
"Xi Da Zui Ba! Xi Da Zui Ba! You damn well better stop..." Wang Yao saw Xi Fu's face being obscured by the light, becoming increasingly blurry and unfamiliar, and couldn't help but shout anxiously.
However, Xi Fu did not respond to Wang Yao's call. His body suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the entire cell as if it were daytime, but then, like a light bulb that had run out of power, it shone for only a few seconds before dimming.
Before everyone's eyes, Xi Fu's body vanished into thin air. Wang Yao only saw the chains in the cell hanging down with a clattering sound, colliding with each other.
"What happened!" Two exclamations rang out from behind the door, and Mo Guangmu, Zhao Cai, and Qing He rushed in together.
