Chapter Summary
“Why did he betray the immortals who took care of him? Just becoming a pseudo was worth throwing everything away, what would you two have done for true immortality? ” Li Qiye smiled: “One is a dao avatar while the other is the true body’s remnant life, they have been separated for eras now.
Chapter 6120: Want To Know Who You Are?
“So during the exchange, it wasn’t for a Supreme Terror, at least not in the beginning.
The targets were the three immortals.
” Li Qiye said.
“These words hurt the heart, Sir.
” The old man said.
“Look into yourself, or rather, him, what was the purpose of obtaining the corpseworm?
” Li Qiye continued.
After a long pause, the old man answered: “I was reminded of a famous tale.
” “Which one?
” Six-style asked curiously.
“You surely know Xian Chengtian.
Can he become an immortal?
No, such a hard and long path.
” The old man said.
“And then?
” She didn’t quite understand what he was trying to imply.
“Why did he betray the immortals who took care of him?
” The old man said.
“For an item.
” Six-style said.
“Their legacy, the answer is greed again.
” Li Qiye said.
“He knew about the legacy of the three immortals.
Why were they able to become immortals and not him?
” The old man continued.
“Virtually impossible, becoming an immortal through someone else.
” Li Qiye shook his head.
“You stand at the top, Sir, so you also know the insurmountable gap.
Not the most brilliant cultivator can make it through, hence requiring external help.
” The old man said.
“So he wanted their legacy but they refused, hence starting over from the beginning.
” Li Qiye said.
“That’s the idea.
” The old man nodded.
“Fire Ancestor fell into the darkness because of fear, but to be driven by greed, how pitiful.
” Li Qiy said.
“After all, no one can resist the temptation of immortality.
” The old man said.
“That wouldn’t have counted as immortality.
Just becoming a pseudo was worth throwing everything away, what would you two have done for true immortality?
” Li Qiye said.
“I respectfully ask you that question, Sir.
” The old man said.
“The dao must be obtained and proven by the self, that is the only way to reach the other shore.
Any external help will cause a backlash in due time.
” Li Qiye said.
“But what if one can’t live long enough?
” The old man said: “You have traversed the Uncrossable Expanse and killed Supreme Terrors, do you think the brave vanguards could have survived?
” “Either way, this was more shameful than Fire Ancestor since at the very least, he never harbored this idea.
” Li Qiye shook his head.
“Temptation is a bottomless abyss.
There is no climbing back out once fallen, only death will get rid of it.
” The old man said.
“Is that why you used this method to say goodbye to the past?
” Li Qiye said.
“Well, it wasn’t up to me then, I was just a dao avatar.
I also don’t mind the current circumstances.
” The old man said.
“If it’s only to feel better, you certainly have more choices than just being a grand ghost here.
After all, you’ve walked the furthest out of all the ghosts.
” Li Qiye said.
“I love this place and have grown used to it, it is my home so I don’t want to leave.
” The old man said.
“Because you are also Gold Emissary.
” Fog Emissary appeared in the main hall.
“He’s Gold Emissary?
” Six-style stared at the old man.
Judging by his expression, Fog Emissary was correct.
“You’re quite a pest, Fog Emissary.
” The old man commented.
“Uncle, I’ve been observing you for a long time, you are not only the oldest grand ghost but also an ancient being, a progenitor since the distant ages.
” Fog Emissary said.
“Have you figured out who you are yet?
” Gold Emissary said.
“Do you know the answer?
” Fog Emissary said.
“Hahaha.
” Gold Emissary chuckled without responding.
“He’s the one who saved you and planted the ghost sigil.
” Li Qiye said.
Six-style and Fog Emissary stared at the old man in disbelief.
“As long as you care enough, Sir, nothing can escape your eyes.
” Gold Emissary sighed.
“How did I get here?
” Fog Emissary asked.
“You tried to escape by erasing yourself, fusing with the ghost market.
He was there and secretly gave you a sigil.
” Li Qiye said.
“I knew the laws of the ghost markets when I was alive?
” Fog Emissary asked.
“Because you have done it once before.
” Gold Emissary didn’t mind telling the truth.
“Then who was I?
” Fog Emissary stared at him.
Gold Emissary took out a pendant identical to the one in Li Qiye’s possession.
The only difference was a shining miniature galaxy within his.
“This is Baihui’s...
” Six-style said.
“Redeem this and you can have all of your memories back.
” Gold Emissary said.
Fog Emissary’s eyes lit up while staring at it.
“Unacceptable.
” Another ghost appeared in the main hall.
“Water Emissary!
” Six-style blurted.
“Why not?
” Fog Emissary asked.
The always-smiling Water Emissary had a cold expression this time as he spoke: “Because that belongs to me, not you.
” This perplexed Six-style at first because it belonged to Xian Baihui, meaning Fog Emissary was him.
“Could the two of you be one?
” She speculated.
“Yes.
” Li Qiye smiled: “One is a dao avatar while the other is the true body’s remnant life, they have been separated for eras now.
” “You’re me?
” Fog Emissary stared at Water Emissary.
“Let the past be the past.
” Water Emissary didn’t like this development.
“Does this conversation sound familiar to you?
I feel like I heard it just a while ago.
” Li Qiye playfully tapped Gold Emissary’s shoulder.
“Blame Jiao Heng for this, he noticed it first.
” Gold Emissary said.
“Jiao Heng!
” Both Water and Fog Emissary had the same reaction upon hearing this name.
Although they didn’t despite Jiao Heng, they wouldn’t mind giving the guy a beating until tears streamed down his cheeks.
“So you two are both Xian Baihui.
” Six-style remarked.
