Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone-Chapter 1266 - 578: Shiner_2

"Oh?" The voice echoed again, "A generous gift? What kind of generous gift? If you are sincere in seeking me, why not prepare it directly?"

"I entered this small world by utilizing the bones from here and the peculiar characteristics of that Evil Qi."

Wang Jixuan said:

"I still need to find the true entrance and exit of this place before I can bring the treasure inside."

"Is that so?"

From the bed inside the window, a graceful figure slowly rose. A thin layer of gauze materialized out of thin air, followed by a light gray long skirt appearing over the gauze.

It leisurely tidied up the clothing.

Wang Jixuan didn't dare to breathe heavily, and that strange hand had also become much more obedient.

It casually tied up its dark green long hair, slowly turned around, and a face that left a deep impression on Wang Jixuan appeared before his eyes.

That face was unexpectedly...

Lingtong?

No, it was an illusion.

Wang Jixuan shook his head violently.

This time, when he looked again, he saw a face that bore a six-to-seven tenths resemblance to Lingtong, gradually transforming and finally settling at a three-to-four tenths resemblance.

It smiled faintly, saying, "Is this the person you most desire to see in your heart? There is indeed a bit of heroism."

Its speech paused, and the mixed male-female voice carried a trace of melancholic emotion.

"Unfortunately, I have never experienced the affection between men and women, truly wish to taste the pain of a love tribulation... Come over, as long as you answer three questions for me, I will let your fellow go."

Wang Jixuan's heart tensed.

Let go?

Has Red Snake been captured by this deceitful monster?

He did not speak much, controlling the bone to ride the clouds forward, that strange hand subconsciously stepped back half a step, landing behind Wang Jixuan.

Like a subordinate to him.

As soon as Wang Jixuan's bone arrived in the courtyard, there was a slight tremor in a spider web with a three-inch diameter on a fake hill beside him. Stuck on the web, as small as a grain of rice, was it not the Red Snake he was searching for?!

"Good eyesight, you can even see this directly."

A light sigh came from inside the house:

"Rest assured, if I wanted to harm her, even the master of the Time Dao could not save her."

Wang Jixuan hurriedly asked, "Senior, did you rescue my elder sister?"

"Hmm, otherwise she would have been captured by a few Golden Immortals sent by the Heavenly Dao Sect long ago. Come in."

Wang Jixuan cupped his hands, confidently stepped into the dwelling.

Since you're here, be at ease.

There is no need to be overly affected when facing a rival much stronger than oneself.

The room's arrangement exuded warmth in every corner.

The deceitful monster led him to another window side, setting up a low table with three cushions.

The strange hand jumped onto a cushion, crossing two fingers and forming a meditative posture, the face emerging on the back of the hand was full of seriousness.

Wang Jixuan faced the deceitful monster.

He asked with a smile, "May I know the revered name of my senior?"

"Just a mere residual spirit, unworthy of reverence, you may call me Luoshan Hermit."

"According to what Senior Luoshan mentioned earlier, it seems you have saved my elder sister once."

"Yes, she should indeed be grateful to me, but you need not be grateful to me."

Luoshan Hermit smiled and said:

"You do not have a deep relationship with her, but because she is your companion, you must come to save her.

"What is this?

"Empathy? Or a sense of responsibility imposed on yourself?"

Wang Jixuan said, "I didn't think so much, being friends, naturally I would come to rescue her, moreover, she is my battle companion, someone I have gone through life and death with."

"People like you are indeed rare in the Immortal Realm."

Luoshan Hermit corrected,

"To be precise, Celestials like you are already rare in the Immortal Realm.

"For those of low rank and humble life, shouting a commitment to righteousness is actually nothing remarkable, but when they reach a high position and have a better life, yet still willing to go through life and death for friends, that indeed counts as a precious quality."

Wang Jixuan curiously said, "Senior, do you have something you want me to do?"

"Oh? How did you guess that?"

"From the tone of your words, senior, there is much good intention and an inadvertent compliment."

Quite shyly, Master Wang smiled:

"And as senior, you are the sovereign of this realm, have cultivated into a second lifetime, possess divine skills I cannot fathom or comprehend, yet you speak with such kindness to me.

"You must have a task in mind for me."

Luoshan Hermit's face slowly changed, transforming into a faceless state.

Its head appeared like a translucent balloon, with dots of flowing light within.

Unexpectedly, it exuded a hint of a science fiction aura.

It lowered its head to fiddle with the tea, its slender hands as delicate as a woman's, and its movements were very gentle.

Wang Jixuan originally thought that the demands of these Residual Spirits and Deceitful Monsters here should all be related to revival.

But unexpectedly, the Luoshan Hermit opened with a sentence:

"What I want you to do is quite simple... resurrect this land."

Wang Jixuan was stunned for a moment.

The Strange Hand couldn't help but ask, "Are you crazy?"

But Luoshan Hermit started to speak eloquently:

"I know it's difficult to accomplish this, and it shouldn't come from the mouth of a Deceitful Monster like me.

"But this is my request, my only wish thus far... Do you know, I have been watching here for countless Time, during this long Time, I have comprehended life and death, comprehended the reversal of yin and yang, and controlled all the Power I can.

"What I feel is not satisfaction, but emptiness and nothingness.

"Yes, I am nothingness, consciousness is nothingness, thinking is also nothingness, the Great Path is nothingness, everything is...

"Then I had such a thought.

"To restore vitality to this world.

"But even though I have comprehended life and death, it is still difficult to achieve. This place is on the verge of complete annihilation, if not for me maintaining the last trace of Spiritual Power, it would turn into pieces of sand and stone.

"Sigh... can you see?

"What a beautiful sight it would be when this land is full of life, and this seems to have become my only obsession as the Shiner."

Wang Jixuan: Quite beautifully haunting.

The house became quiet.

After a moment, Wang Jixuan did not answer Luoshan Hermit's question, but instead asked, "Weren't you supposed to ask me three questions, Senior?"

"That was just a saying, but I do have a question I want to ask you."

Luoshan Hermit's face, which had no features, seemed to project a profound light:

"If one day you are faced with an Immortal Realm like this one, can you save this land on the premise of the collapse of the Heavenly Dao?"

Wang Jixuan was taken aback.

Luoshan Hermit said indifferently, "It's not I who am asking, it's us."

Us?

Wang Jixuan sat there, lost in thought.

He wasn't considering how to answer to pass, but rather contemplating the question itself.

The malady of the Heavenly Dao, the great catastrophe impending;

The so-called great catastrophe, Wang Jixuan was certain, was caused by the Heavenly Dao Parasite Pola, but as for Pola's purpose, it remained elusive.

If the great catastrophe leaves a mess, does he have the ability to clean up?

Wang Jixuan knew in his heart that he was merely a Cultivator, weak and with most of his uniqueness originating from Mu Dan and her Mechanical Empire.

This question is actually, if they defeat Pola in the future, and the Heavenly Dao collapses as a consequence, with the world a desolate wasteland, can Mu Dan use Mechanical means to rejuvenate the Immortal Realm?

Daoist Wang pondered.

A cup of tea appeared in front of him, the tea water initially boiling blood, but after two or three boils, it turned into clear spring water.

After a small half-hour.

Wang Jixuan slowly shook his head: "Sorry, I cannot answer this question, my position is too low to see that far ahead."

"That's good then."

Luoshan Hermit said gently:

"If you had agreed immediately, I would have to consider whether to just eliminate you.

"Oh right, those who want to kill you have arrived, they can all be considered underlings of Pola, do you need me to help you get rid of them?"

"Is that possible?"

Wang Jixuan immediately, with a snap, cupped his fists with his Bone Puppet:

"Then I'll trouble Senior!"

Luoshan Hermit wondered: "Shouldn't you say something like—these strong enemies are just right for honing myself, then laugh thrice and turn around to fight bloodily?"

Wang Jixuan's Bone Puppet scratched its head.

"Do you like that way, Senior? I'm more pragmatic, with an Expert to help, why not use it?"

"That's quite straightforward."

Luoshan Hermit sighed lightly:

"Then how about we make a deal? I'll help you eliminate them, and you help me restore the vitality of this place; if one escapes, you need not fulfill the promise."

The Strange Hand laughed: "You're quite confident." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Luoshan Hermit said calmly: "Your existence is merely struggling for survival, while I am in Cultivation."

The Strange Hand strongly agreed.

Wang Jixuan asked: "Senior, can you let me bring the Storage Magical Treasure in and out of this place at will?"

"Of course."

"Then I'm willing to give it a try!"

"Good," Luoshan Hermit gracefully rose, took half a step forward, and her face rapidly transformed, forming a valiant female general's visage.

She murmured, "It's been a long time since I've tasted blood."
