Chapter 1468 - Reminisce

Unfortunately, the most important latter half was drowned under thunder, stopped by the heavenly might.

What happened after he achieved immortality?

Shi Hao wanted to know, but the other side was submerged in lightning. It was incomparably dazzling, hacking apart the sky, shaking the ancient river of time.

Bitten by dogs?

Shi Hao wanted to laugh. Was this Cao Yusheng far into the future? What did he experience, actually being chased and bitten by dogs?

However, from the way he spoke of it, it shouldn’t be some type of difficulty, but rather just an unforgettable experience.

At the same time, Shi Hao also felt a bit of grief, his emotions immediately becoming complicated to the extreme.

It was because the fat daoist wasn’t the little fatty in Imperial Pass anymore, but rather already someone who experienced endless time, long became a daoist priest who achieved immortality. It was difficult to imagine how many bumps he experienced.

From this simple sentence, Shi Hao already knew that Cao Yusheng had been buried for nine worlds, each time undergoing a flesh corpse transformation, and then crawled out of the grave, cultivating in this way.

Just how cruel was this? A living person had to be buried underground for nine worlds, relying on the flesh to develop intelligence, undergo corpse transformation, and then continue living like that, accumulate world after world like this.

Each time he underwent a corpse transformation, it would be the start of a new life, experiencing all types of mortal affairs, the vicissitudes of life, all types of emotions, everything the world had to offer.

After leaving the tomb, living in nine worlds, it looked like he obtained a lot, but who knew just how much he lost?

Every single world had unforgettable events, unforgettable people, things that couldn’t be parted with. However, in the end, he could only let them go, enter the grave alone, bury himself.

If one thought about it carefully, this fat daoist priest experienced too much. Even though he achieved immortality, just how many regrets were stored in his heart? The things that were lost, the things that elapsed, those could never be grasped or remembered again.

Even if he ultimately stood at the very peak, becoming extremely glorious and brilliant, when he turned around, he would still feel disappointment and frustration. The past laughter and grief were impossible to be compensated for.

Not to mention, after Cao Yusheng was buried for nine worlds like this, each time he revived, it was through corpse transformation, a strange reincarnation. Was he even still himself?

This question was perhaps something not even he himself was willing to face.

After all, the past primordial spirit had long rotted away, the only thing that remained unchanged was the flesh, the powerful flesh body would create a new spiritual will. Even though it would grow, moreover obtain things left behind from the past, recorded memories on other artifacts and other things, he was still different in the end.

Shi Hao sighed, tasting a bit of bitterness in his mouth.

“After billions of years, perhaps even a great era passed, what is even left?” Shi Hao asked himself. He looked at the figure on the other side. Not even this old friend was truly himself anymore, right?

Shi Hao didn’t know how many years passed, what will happen, what exactly took place.

However, he knew that under the effects of endless time, all of his close friends of this world might no longer exist. They might grow old over the ages, or perhaps they would fall in battle!

It was because he sensed something from Cao Yusheng’s words, that day will eventually come.

“Huang, brother, I am still me!” On the other side, the lightning stopped. The fat daoist immortal’s armor was tattred, but he largely shouted out, as if he could guess at what Shi Hao was thinking.

“I didn’t do a simple corpse transformation, I cultivated nine Reincarnation Imprints, truly remembering the past! I am still me!” He shouted.

Even though his cultivation was deep and profound, right now, he still forgot his manners, even more emotionally stirred than Shi Hao. It was because after endless time passed, this was the first time he saw an old friend.

This was especially the case when this person was Huang, someone who had left behind countless legends, endless brilliance, but never appeared again.

The last great era was too bloody, too dark, too cruel, too difficult to describe.

The fat daoist priest’s eyes were red. When he saw his old friend standing before him again, there were actually glistening teardrops, as if he returned to when he was still young, remembering the past, the events that were full of happiness, as well as those that were filled with sorrow, all types of old events and people appeared before him. The pretty and lively little rabbit who ate large mouthfuls of meat and drank large bowls of wine, the Heavenly Horned Ant who was always noisy and feisty, the powerful Ten Crown King… in the end, he could only sigh. There was nothing endless time couldn’t bury!

This was especially the case with the one before him. In that era, he withstood and propped open the darkness, slaughtering his way into the distance alone, gradually heading further and further.

He wanted to help before, but it was regretful. At that time, the heavens collapsed and earth split, ghosts wept and deities howled, it was too frightening.

Moreover, in the end, he returned underground, was buried, carrying great regrets.

Cao Yusheng really didn’t know if anyone could fight with Huang side by side. If there weren’t any, then it was unimaginable, just too bitter. He had to face too much alone.

Even if that dark era was buried, only legends left in this world, the truth impossible to trace or investigate, he knew that the great error of the later stages would become even greater, that it would be ten times, hundred times more difficult!

That was why when Cao Yusheng saw Shi Hao, saw that he was still young, he couldn’t help but forget himself. It was because he thought of too much. The current tender youngster, just what kind of broken path did he have to take in the future?

He wanted to know, but couldn’t know!

It was precisely like his disciple said, in the end, he was buried in the ground. After remaining underground, he didn’t know what happened in that most important segment of history!

After seeing this old friend disappear, and then seeing him before his eyes again, seeing that he was still young and full of youthfulness, even though he knew that Huang was extremely optimistic, Cao Yusheng still couldn’t help but feel the innermost part of him twitch. Could this youngster still continue laughing in the end, or was he going to fight with the heavens on his shoulders?

However, he remembered, at the very least, before he left, Huang was still smiling, only a bit exhausted.

“That heaven warping battle, I believe in that era, you are the strongest, that you will live! Only, why did you disappear?” When he thought of the later events, how Huang never appeared again, he couldn’t help but roar out.

It was because when he saw the young Huang, Cao Yusheng became even more disappointed and frustrated, even more grieved. He really wanted to cross over the ancient river of time, meet him, and then sit down to talk about everything, to drink and chat merrily.

However, he was unable to do this, no one able to do something like this.

Moreover, it was precisely because he knew that the later world didn’t have Huang, his whereabouts unknown, that he felt an even stronger suffocating feeling in his chest.

“The world is so large, there are naturally places for me to go. I won’t die!”

Even though Shi Hao was still young, he saw a corner of the future, able to feel the loneliness of endless time. He understood how Cao Yusheng was feeling, so he spoke out this way in consolation.

“Right, you won’t, you will appear in the end, 

haha

… I am waiting for you!” Cao Yusheng laughed loudly. He was normally a rather frivolous person, but today, his nose became sore, constantly feeling the urge to cry.

Hong!

Electrical radiance overflowed, carrying immortal mist and chaotic light, all of it immortal lightning, hacking down on Cao Yusheng’s body.

Even when their conversation didn’t touch upon secrets, not involving those great topics that affected past and present, he still suffered heavenly punishment, taking on the wrath of heaven.

This could destroy all living things, cut down unmatched experts.

“Why? Why am I not being punished?” Shi Hao was confused.

“It is because that person is forcefully receiving heavenly might, taking it all alone, taking the initiative to receive all of it!” The female undead knight said with a light sigh.

She found it hard to calm down. She was incomparably shocked, everything she saw today was definitely rarely seen throughout the ages. Even if all of history was examined, it was difficult to find another terrifying event like this.

Yet she witnessed it today, witnessing heaven change. This will become a piece of hidden history!

Not long afterwards, the lightning disappeared. Cao Yusheng grimaced, cursing the heavens, returning to his true nature.

“How are they?” Shi Hao wanted to know. However, he knew that he shouldn’t ask this.

However, he trembled inwardly, really wishing to know how these people were.

Cao Yusheng naturally knew who he was asking about. It was about that era, those people they were familiar with, those mountains and rivers, wishing to know about what happened to them.

Only, Cao Yusheng felt embarrassed. There were some things not even he was clear on.

“When I was buried, they…”

When he spoke up to here, a streak of light pierced Cao Yusheng’s body. It was too terrifying, that streak of light powerful to the extreme, blasting his body until it cracked apart, making him suffer a great disaster.

This heavenly might was unfathomable, about to destroy him.

Shi Hao’s expression changed. He regretted it greatly, blaming himself, realizing that he shouldn’t have asked this.

It was clear that this fat daoist understood that things would be like this, yet he still replied, answering him, not fearing life and death

“They… they followed you!” Cao Yusheng roared out, in the end still spitting out these words, about to be blasted into nothingness by the lightning radiance.

However, his strength truly was great, shouting out, “Tribulation Crossing Immortal Art!”

In the end, his body reassembled, not destroyed. The main reason was because these words didn’t affect the past and present much, the karma not that great.

Otherwise, there would be no way for him to even open his mouth.

Shi Hao relaxed a bit, feeling like there was hope. The road ahead wasn’t that dark, everything could be changed!

Only, Cao Yusheng on the other side still felt a great emotional burden, because even after endless years, only the name Huang was heard, the old friend nowhere to be seen. This most likely foretold some things.

When he thought of these things, Cao Yusheng also began to ask himself just what the truth really was like. Why did it seem like everything was covered in dust?!

In later generations, many people were researching that piece of ancient history. There was only the name of Huang that was circulated about, one blade severing endless ages, passing judgment on time itself, too terrifying.

Even though Huang was nowhere to be seen, Cao Yusheng knew that that era definitely had a conclusion. After things were settled came a long period of peace, with no individuals that popped out.

“I searched for you for many years, but still failed to find you. After searching through all different regions, I still couldn’t find you alive. Being able to see you today truly makes me happy, extremely moved. I now have no regrets in this life! It has already been many years since I last felt the urge to cry.” On the other side, Cao Yusheng really wanted to cry, but he was smiling instead, yet it looked even uglier than crying.

He really was moved, his fists tightly clenched. Then, he took a deep breath, having himself calm down, moreover becoming serious.

He wanted to tell Shi Hao some things. Even if he was going to suffer the wrath of heaven, even if he died, he had to speak of these things, he had to tell the Huang who was still young. This was just too important!
