The seal in the forbidden horizon is extremely strong, it caused it to be separated from the rest of the world; it prevented any form of communication.

E ChangGuang, a grandmaster formation master, still did not have a way to leave. After spending three thousand years only did she know a little. She constantly felt that this was the work of a celestial being.

Based on her words, it once again opened an entirely new world to Su TingYun.

Cultivators face the tribulation to steal authority from the heavens. After that they would enter a new realm which is also known as the celestial realm. But now they are now in the cultivation world, so they are not the strongest individuals.

‘Four seas eight desolate lands, heroes from all walks of life, becoming an immortal and ascending to the celestial realm, the place where the talented converge.’

‘So, I have never thought of what comes after I complete the tribulation. Now I am a tribulation transcendent, but after I ascend, wouldn’t I become the bottom level cultivator again, do I have to start from there?’

E ChangGuang laid lazily on one side. She did just like she pleased, just like on her former days when she was cultivating. She differed from other people who cultivated at home. She liked to travel around, observing everything and meeting all sorts of people. As a result, she had a talent for formations. It also allowed her to stumble upon and caught a glimpse of the secret of the universe, forming the universal eyes.

Su TingYun also felt sorrowful. She is originally a low leveled cultivator. In the eyes of other people, she is an ant, but after hearing what E ChangGuang said, now she feels like she is worse than an ant, a microbe at best. An analogy would be an elementary student joining olympics, then a crowd of senior high school student from the upper realm and steamed rolled them. Even before the results are finalised, the organisers say that they want post-doctoral students to join……

E ChangGuang turned her head to look at Su TingYun after she finished talking, she realised that she had a bitter expression on her face. She smiled faintly, ‘why are you bothering with these things, in any case we can’t leave this place.’

Su TingYun’s heart had broken into many pieces. Did she have to live here for her entire life? When she recalled E ChangGuang had lived here for three thousand years, Su TingYun nearly panicked to death. She had been stuck here for three thousand years and was still a normal person. She cannot help but admire how resolute her mind was.

‘The truth is that I did not intend to save you.’ E ChangGuang was lonely for too long, even if it was tiring to talk, she remained talkative. On ordinary days when there was no one, she would be talking to herself. As a result, she tasked the orchid tongue grass to repeat her words. Now that there was someone, she could not quieten down no matter what.

‘Then what was the reason?’

‘It is hard to fathom the human mind.’ she used her hands to prop up her chin. Sunlight reflected from the back of her hand and into her eyes. Simultaneously, the expression in her eyes dimmed, and once again kept her hands into her sleeve.

‘I merely just saw that you did not get rid of the person on your back despite the circumstances, so I felt that you still have some rights to keep on living.’ E ChangGuang sat upright. She signalled to Su TingYun to carry over Li XinMei to her. After placing her down, E ChangGuang held a finger above Li XinMei’s body.

‘Her primordial spirit had left her body.’ She lifted her head and looked at Su TingYun with sparkling eyes, ‘How did you do it?’

The rays of light in the pair of eyes were now golden in colour, rather it was like glistening white moonlight, and her pupils were like two beads of obsidian. It felt like it would suck the consciousness of the viewer into it.

Being gazed by that pair of eyes, Su TingYun felt that she had no chance to lie. She unconsciously told her condition of how she could leave her body and possess a person. After she finished speaking, the brilliance in E ChangGuang’s eyes disappeared instantly, and what replaced it was a layer of white fog. It looked extremely turbid, just like the eyes of an old person.

Using a popular term, it would be a case of cataract.

E ChangGuang tightly closed both of her eyes. After taking a quick moment to recompose herself, although her eyes still did not regain the lustre, but it did not look as scary as before.

She raised her hands and used both hands to do some hand gestures. Then, a woman that looked identical to her appeared beside her, and smiled at her.

Su TingYun was once again shocked.

‘Judging from your shocked expression, all cultivators at the nascent soul stage can refine a clone outside of their body.’ E ChangGuang laughed. After that, she retracted her mental energy from the clone. After that, she added: ‘Can you try to possess my clone?‘

Su TingYun complied to her request, the result was, it failed.

E ChangGuang thought deeply for a moment and said: ’The clone is linked to me, so even if I am not controlling it, my mental energy has a link with it, so you are unable to possess it.’

‘Or it might be because the clone had been refined first before it formed, so you could not possess it?’ she stroked her chin and thought for a while before adding: ’when you are entering her body, her primordial spirit has yet to completely dissipate, just not in the body, therefore the moment you entered the body is still alive. Supposing that the body that you entered had its soul completely dissipated, that corpse would not have a chance of reviving.

E ChangGuang’s eyebrows creased as she thought harder, ‘Possession should be defiance of the natural order, so why is it so easy when it is you doing it?

Although it was not possession in a true sense, it was not far from it.

The corners of her mouth turn into a grin, ‘Or could it be that you are the blessed of heaven?’

Su TingYun was startled, E ChangGuang had guessed she was a transmigrator, the blessed from a different world!

‘Enough, you have such a gigantic body yet you are scared till you are trembling, its like your head shrunk to the size of a quail, how shameful.’’ E ChangGuang swatted her hands, ‘I don’t care where you came from, since you have already come to the forbidden horizon, you can accompany me to death.’

Su TingYun only had a cultivation of qi formation stage.

E ChangGuang is a tribulation transcendent, although she is currently injured, the disparities of their strength is too huge. Even if she did not use her mental energy to oppress her, Su TingYun would also experience a strong feeling of oppression. Her build was tall and straight, the clothes she was wearing were a cut smaller. She unconsciously contracted her body, as a result she was mercilessly ridiculed at.

Su TingYun’s heart chilled. In any case, everyone was stuck here. She would feel lonely and want to find a companion to talk to, so she would not want to claim her life. She felt both tired and unhappy. She directly walked towards E ChangGuang’s animal hide rug and sat down, using the wall as backing, closing her eyes and taking a rest.

The moment she closed her eyes, she was pushed by E ChangGuang, then she heard her hoarse voice: ‘Do you know, three thousand years ago, there was a cultivator that was called Xi Guang, his beauty could make the heavens jealous.’

‘Coming into contact with white powders which were too white, applying vermillion that was too red, eyebrows like jade feathers, muscles as white as snow, waist was restrained and plain. Currently his cultivation is at tribulation transcendent, the people who wanted to be dao partners with him amount to eight hundred and nine.’

E ChangGuang’s voice was hoarse, the gender of the owner could not be distinguished, just like a boorish old fogey.

‘And then.’ Su TingYun asked without opening her eyes.

As of now, she had a calm and composed expression. To her, the cultivation world is filled with beautiful people. If they were transported to her original world, every one of them could become celebrities. Each and every one of them were a million times better looking than her. She was tired of appreciating their beauty to the point of indifference.

So what if they were good looking, could they grow another eye or nose?

‘’Afterwards, on a fateful day, her soul left her body. Her physical body was placed in HaoYue sect. her body enveloped within ice for a thousand years. As a result, her body mysteriously disappeared.

‘Her soul lamp had yet to extinguish, so under everybody’s supervision, her physical body did not rot, everybody hoped that one day she would wake up. Never did they expect that the body would be stolen by someone. As of now the few tribulation transcendent male cultivators did not have good relations, the chance of them being related to Xi Guang’s physical body disappearance is high.’

Speaking to this point, looking at the lack of reaction from Su TingYun, E ChangGuang could not help but poke her forehead, ‘If you could possess Xi Guang, not only do you become a tribulation transcendent instantly, you would also have five or six old monsters at your disposal!’

Su TingYun: ‘hehe.’

She was now stuck in the forbidden horizon. Having those thoughts is like having a daydream. Then again, the physical body and mental energy needed to be refined in the cultivation world. If she attempted to possess a tribulation transcendent’s body, wouldn’t it be deliberately walking into a trap?

E ChangGuang’s eyebrows turned, ‘It seems that you can resist temptation.’

Actually, she had deliberately said these words. She did not have much lime left. She could not use time to test her disposition, so she could only resort to ordinary means.

She was already very tired.

E ChangGuang felt tired just from talking. She did not have much time left. After a long time in isolation made her restless, so she did not allow Su TingYun to rest, saying: Tell me about what happened in WuLiang sect.’

E ChangGuang thought for a moment, ‘Is Gu FengYang still alive? His lifespan should be running out soon.’

Su TingYun suddenly opened her eyes. If this person is Gu FengYang’s friend, she might not be a good person. Her lazy and leisurely appearance could have deceived her.

E ChangGuang is a tribulation transcendent. She also had an all seeing pair of eyes, identifying every suspicious micro movement Su TingYun made. What made little sense was why did Gu FengYang have interactions with low leveled cultivator. However, she laughed before saying: ‘Gu FengYang is my senior brother, five hundred years older than me, originally I felt that there was a hostile beast below the sect, and it ought to be eliminated.’

She suddenly paused for a moment, ‘We were both tribulation transcendents, our strength was on par with each other. Among the top echelon of the cultivation world, as long as two experts joined hands, no one would be their match. So what if it was a beast in the forbidden horizon, we were confident in killing it, nipping the future troubles from the bud.’

E ChangGuang heaved a sigh, ‘Sure enough, it was the frivolous of being youthful!.’

Su TingYun lampooned inwardly: ‘The few of you are a few thousand year oldies, are you even worthy of being called young and frivolous?’

‘After that I rode my flying treasure above the forbidden horizon and attempted to break the formation, but was assaulted by the evil qi and was pulled down mercilessly without the chance to retaliate. Gu FengYang……’

E ChangGuang’s smiling face turned slightly ferocious: ‘He did not try and pull me up.’

While she was talking, the surrounding temperature dropped abruptly, and Su TingYun felt something fall down. She reached her hand towards it and felt it. Turns out that it was the water that had turned into ice and fell from the cliff.

And at this moment, E ChangGuang had deep coughed, and some white hairs appeared amidst her black hair. E ChangGuang gently combed the white hairs behind her ears. Afterwards her finger tips emitted some light, those white hairs slowly turned back black, however, a few strands turned into a dazzling silver.

Aware that Su TingYun was looking at her, she slanted her head and laughed, ‘I have become old.’

‘Yet, when I die, I hope that I would die looking good.’

E ChangGuang was younger than Gu FengYang by five hundred years. According to reason, their cultivation was evenly matched, so naturally their lifespans were similar. It was just that she was heavily injured by that beast when she fell into the forbidden horizon. In addition, she did not want to see herself having the appearance with white hair and wrinkled skin, she kept wasting her immortal essence preserving her youthful looks. These actions caused her to be at the limit of her lifespan. Currently, she just has several months left to live.

She was not a chatty person, it was just that she did not talk to anyone for three thousand years.
