3022 The aftermath, a coincidental encounter (1)
A minute later, the deranged cultivator suddenly disappeared from the deck, officially leaving the purple light world.
Before he left, he took a deep look at Tang Zhen with a profound expression.
Tang Zhen once again surveyed his surroundings. It was likely that he would not return to this special world.
Light and shadow flickered before his eyes. In the next instant, Tang Zhen had already left the huge ship.
Looking at his surroundings again, he was already standing at the edge of purple light ruins, the intersection point of the two worlds.
When he looked back, he saw that the green ocean was still there, but it was rapidly disappearing.
A giant ship sailed into the distance, and a monster’s head poked out of the bow, turning its head to look over.
When it realized that Tang Zhen was looking at it, the monster let out a “hiss” roar as if it was bidding farewell to Tang Zhen.
A small figure waved his hand at Tang Zhen before turning around and walking into the cabin.
Then, the ocean and the giant ship disappeared in an instant, like smoke blown by a strong wind.
Tang Zhen turned around and sized up his surroundings. He discovered that there was no one around.
This situation was very abnormal. Purple light ruins couldn’t be so deserted. The old man’s deduction was very accurate.
Every cultivator who left would be in a different time and space to ensure that they would not interfere with each other.
This could be considered a gift from the boy to the cultivators before he left. Perhaps it was out of good intentions, or it could be to deliberately disgust some people.
Tang Zhen was not particularly concerned no matter what his goal was. This was because he would definitely not suffer a loss.
As the purple light world dissipated, Tang Zhen’s exploration this time could be considered to have officially ended.
The next thing he had to do was to find the deranged cultivator and take back what was rightfully his.
As he strode forward, the surrounding space seemed to tremble like flowing water. This allowed Tang Zhen to confirm that he was in an independent space-time.
However, as he moved forward, the originally quiet world suddenly became lively.
Tang Zhen heard the conversation and then saw the figures that turned from illusionary to real. These were all the residents and cultivators near purple light ruins.
They had actually been here all along. It was only because they were in a different time and space from Tang Zhen that they were unable to discover each other’s existence.
However, at this moment, this situation had already been destroyed. Tang Zhen had also walked out of the frozen time and space.
look, another lucky guy has appeared. I hope he hasn’t been scared out of his wits by this adventure!
After seeing Tang Zhen, a cultivator not far away said loudly. His voice contained a hint of gloating.
Everyone looked at Tang Zhen. It was obvious that the news about the purple light world had spread in the purple light ruins.
Every cultivator that suddenly appeared was a lucky person who had returned from the purple light world. Furthermore, they had appeared frequently during this period of time.
The residents near purple light ruins were not surprised and even commented without care. They did not have the reverence that mortals had for cultivators.
The main thing was that they didn’t know that the cultivator who had suddenly appeared in front of them was actually an existence that made them tremble in fear.
Tang Zhen completely ignored the gazes and discussions around him. He only slowly walked forward until he left this special ruins.
The streets of purple light ruins were still the same as before, but they looked much more deserted.
Many cultivators had left and never returned, affecting the prosperity of this place, but it was only a temporary phenomenon.
It wouldn’t take long for more cultivators to arrive here and try to find their own opportunities.
Tang Zhen was not in a hurry to leave. He had just experienced a near-death experience and needed a short rest.
It wasn’t because he was tired, but because he wanted to digest the gains this time and then plan his next move.
As they walked on the streets, no one was pointing at Tang Zhen anymore. No one knew that he had just returned from the purple light world.
It could be seen that the way to get rid of the annoyance was to leave one place and head to another.
Tang Zhen suddenly recalled something when he passed by a pub on the side of the road. He directly walked in.
“Customer, what do you want to eat?”
A tender child’s voice sounded, causing the corner of Tang Zhen’s mouth to reveal a smile. He slowly turned his head over.
A cute little girl with pigtails was looking at Tang Zhen as she asked with a somewhat tender voice.
“Bring me all the food you’re good at. Also, bring me two pots of the wine made from the berries.”
After remembering the food that Tang Zhen needed, the little girl told him to wait a moment before bouncing and running to the house next to her.
Tang Zhen turned his head and poured a cup of tea to carefully savor.
“Your Excellency, your food is here.”
It didn’t take long before a woman’s voice was heard, and she walked to the table with light steps.
After clearly seeing Tang Zhen’s appearance, the woman was stunned for a moment. Soon after, she used a surprised tone and said,”Oh, it’s you. Welcome to our restaurant again.”
The tavern was run by a pair of sisters, and the woman in front of him was the older sister.
Tang Zhen smiled and asked the older sister, the last time purple light ruins opened, you were all sucked in. I wonder if you encountered any danger? ”
Although the residents of the extreme spiritual realm had the ability to come back from the dead, they still couldn’t avoid the pain.
The pain of death would not be numbed by too much experience. On the contrary, one would feel fear and respect for death, and learn to cherish their own life.
He could be resurrected after death, but he had to endure that terrible pain. It was not worth it.
Her sister smiled sweetly. She helped Tang Zhen place the dishes and filled the glass with fruit wine.
“Thank you for your concern, Sir. Although we were a little frightened, we didn’t encounter any danger.
Not long after the purple light world opened, we were sent out, and so were the other residents of purple light ruins.
It wasn’t easy for you to return safely.
I’ve heard that the purple light realm that’s opened this time is extremely dangerous. Hundreds of thousands of cultivators went there and never returned.”
When the elder sister said this, a hint of fear appeared on her face. She was clearly shocked by the terrifying number of casualties.
The foreign cultivators were different from the indigenous people. Once they died, it was a real death. The bodies of hundreds of thousands of cultivators would probably pile up like a mountain.
The elder sister continued,”according to the rumors of those cultivators, the difficulty of the purple light world this time is extremely rare. It had only appeared once a few decades ago.”
Moreover, it was said that there were two gods among the cultivators who took the risk this time, and one of the gods ‘corpses was involved.
It was because of their existence that the difficulty of the purgatory level appeared, causing the death of hundreds of thousands of cultivators.
In addition, I’ve also heard that the two gods have obtained the top ten places and received a generous reward.
Your Excellency was also a participant. I wonder if you have seen the two gods and what they look like?”
When the elder sister said this, she revealed a curious expression.
In the eyes of the residents of the extreme spirit realm, gods were also great and ethereal existences. They had only heard of them but had never seen them.
“So what if you’re a deity? in the purple light world, you’re just like any other ordinary cultivator.
Otherwise, where do you think the God’s corpse came from? it was still the one who died in the purple light world.”
Tang Zhen laughed. His tone was disapproving. He did not have the slightest bit of respect for gods.
“You’re right. It seems that the most powerful place is still our purple light ruins. Even gods can’t enter it.”
The elder sister sighed and let Tang Zhen enjoy the food and wine while she went to do other things.
Tang Zhen poured himself a cup of wine and drank by himself. After tasting the specialty food of purple light ruins, he got up and left.
Just as he left, a man and a woman walked out of the house next to him.
The woman was the younger sister who ran the tavern, and the man was a long-haired, white-faced cultivator. He exuded a gloomy and cold aura, and seawater dripped from the ends of his hair from time to time.
After seeing Tang Zhen’s back, the long-haired cultivator was slightly stunned. Then, he revealed an ecstatic expression and wanted to chase after him.
However, Tang Zhen didn’t even turn his head back. He raised his hand and gently waved, as if he was bidding farewell to the long-haired cultivator and stopping him from chasing after him.
The long-haired cultivator stopped in his tracks and bowed deeply to Tang Zhen’s back.
“Husband, what are you doing?”
The younger sister asked in a curious tone when she saw this scene. She swept her gaze over Tang Zhen, who was in the distance, and felt that she was familiar with him.
“I’m thanking a great benefactor. It’s because of him that you and I have the chance to reunite.”
After hearing the white-haired cultivator’s words, the item in the elder sister’s hand suddenly fell to the ground.
She looked at the long-haired cultivator and said in a surprised tone, ” you mean, the Lord who just ate is the God who helped you come back to life? ”
The long-haired cultivator nodded his head.
