Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone-Chapter 1261 - 576: Immortal Encounter with the Strange

Is it haunted?

Wang Jixuan's Bone Puppet 'widens its eyes'.

At this moment, he arrived near a dry, great marsh. At the edge of the marsh, there are a few points where Evil Qi gathers. According to the experience Wang Jixuan summarized before, those points hide incomplete treasures.

Where did this voice come from?

Wang Jixuan dared not be careless in the slightest.

Although he and Mu Dan have mastered the small tricks of entering and exiting this place, he also understands the principle that delays might cause changes.

The process of them entering this place was not considered discreet, so naturally, other forces might think of using Evil Qi to 'seep' in.

Wang Jixuan stopped his actions, and the Bone Puppet waited silently on a cloud for a while.

Suddenly, he heard that voice again.

"Alas... it seems this old woman misunderstood..."

Wang Jixuan still gave no answer.

He waited silently for a moment, and when he realized no terrifying aura descended directly, he cautiously left the place on the cloud.

He didn't even mark the locations of those incomplete treasures.

Suddenly, that voice rang out again, more lively than the hoarse and dark tone before:

"Are you a living being? Don't worry, I hold no malice against you, nor can I harm you."

Wang Jixuan pondered for a moment and used his immortal sense to transmit his voice to the surroundings.

He said this...

"Change is odd, but not even!"

"Hmm?"

"Who was the woman I loved the most?"

"This?"

"What was the name of our homeland, that blue planet?"

"What are you saying?"

The old female voice was full of confusion, speaking in ancient dialects of the Immortal Realm, some grammar of which slightly differs from the Immortal Realm's current common language.

In short, the master of this female voice is likely not Red Snake.

"Are you suspecting that I am the person you are looking for? Why don't you try searching six hundred miles to the left, you will see a small grave mound where I reside."

Wang Jixuan slowly shook his head and performed a Daoist bow in the direction the female voice indicated.

The Bone Puppet performing such an act was somewhat comical.

Master Wang understands how to make grand gestures;

He spoke softly, "This junior apologizes for any disrespect and asks the elder not to mind. It's just that, previously, an elder in my family, a Daluo Golden Immortal who cultivated the Time Dao, buried my older sister here to cultivate, probably for two to three thousand years. Now, I'm here to bring her back, but I don't know her specific location... This test is truly difficult."

"Oh?"

The female voice was clearly a bit surprised:

"A Daluo Golden Immortal of the Time Dao? Impossible, even those who solely cultivate the Universe cannot become Daluo, let alone a master of the Time Dao."

Master Wang sighed and said, "An elder in my family also went through many hardships, crossing millions of years, even being besieged by various forces, ultimately ending up all alone in a tragic state... Alas, it wasn't easy for him."

The female voice sighed, "Who has it easy? The ants fear the strong, the strong fear death — when there's nothing, it's simple; you die and everything's over. But once you have attachments, you have restraints, then you're full of weaknesses, bullied, even humiliated. In the end, isn't it just death? All is but illusion."

The owner of the female voice was clearly somewhat melancholic.

Wang Jixuan's mind slightly wavered.

He pondered slightly, controlling the Bone Puppet to drift in the direction the voice came.

After traveling five to six hundred miles, he saw a broken cliff, the base of which was filled with various weapons. At the corner at the base, near the cliff's edge, there was a grave mound made of piled stones.

Beside the mound sat a dark yellow skeleton, with a few pieces of cloth unweathered by the wind.

Getting a bit closer, Wang Jixuan's immortal sense slowly probed, and he could see within the grave a skull looking as if it was made of jadeite.

The voice that kept communicating with him was from this skull.

"Are you relieved to come over?" The voice carried some helplessness, "I was awakened by you and thought you were a descendant of the Fu Family."

"Does the elder have the surname Fu?"

"My husband's surname was Fu."

The female voice whispered, seemingly lost in long and distant memories.

Time has passed by, past events are gone, and now there's only a pile of bones.

The female voice sighed, "I never thought, my strand of Residual Spirit would not perish, yet it's polluted by Evil Qi, now becoming a lonely ghost, unable even to die... Can you let me die? Please do me a favor, for the sake that we are both members of the Human Race."

Wang Jixuan thought for a moment, "I'm afraid I can't do that now, your cultivation was too high when you were alive."

"Yes, I was among the top ten in the contending parties on this battlefield... Otherwise, I couldn't still maintain consciousness..."

The female voice seemed somewhat pained, letting out a few light hums.

She continued, "You are indeed very weak; are you at least a Fifth Grade Heavenly Immortal?"

"I am, indeed I am; this is my Puppet, and I'm here to find my older sister."

"Then how about this, let's make a deal, I will help you find your sister, and after that, you think of a way to kill me."

The female voice said softly:

"After being polluted by Evil Qi, it is very hard for me to die.

"And if you can't kill me... can you stay with me?"

Wang Jixuan immediately wanted to turn and run for his life.

But just as he had this thought, a warning arose in his heart, with his Spiritual Sense alerting him of extreme danger.

Spiritual Sense usually only concerns the main body;

In other words, even his main body might be targeted by this lonely ghost...

"I can't," Wang Jixuan answered seriously, "I have more things to do, like fighting against the Heavenly Dao, protecting more innocent people, and opposing the parasitic Mind Bodies in the Heavenly Dao."

The female voice carried more confusion, "Parasitic Mind Bodies in the Heavenly Dao? What's that?"

"Po Luo."

"Po Luo... the Great Path responds to this name... yes, indeed it's Po Luo..."
