Chapter 736: To Break Free

Hui laid Li Xiangs body down on the floor. Reaching to his neck, he laid Zhubi down beside her. Resuming a meditative stance, he plunged himself into cultivating, more than ever before.

Zhubi, do you hear me?

Elusive Ghost, do you hear me?

Song Wei, Li Xiang, Bai Xue, do you hear me?

No replies.

He pressed his hands flat on the floor. The golden stitches appeared all over his body once more. They glowed once, vibrantly. Hui hesitated.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

No. No hesitation. I cant have a single doubt.

Making a slicing motion at the air, he severed the threads.

His body fell apart. The seven ghosts leapt free, each one as savage as before. Leaping at one another, they tore each other apart with their teeth, their eyes furious, hatred in every inch of their bodies.

The gold threads spread over the surface of the floor, stretching out wide, like roots. They sunk into the ground, infiltrating deep into the white. Reaching down. Sinking. Calling out.

Zhubi. Elusive Ghost. Song Wei. Li Xiang. Bai Xue.

Im here.

Remember me.

The gold roots pierced through the wall of the white world. Down to its core, out into the void. Growing and growing, they pierced through the entire realm, until gold threaded through the realm from top to bottom. The ruins, the bodies, all of them threaded with gold, the loot, the insides of the holding rings, the stones and buildings, all of them threaded with gold.

It doesnt seem like it. Surely he would do something, if he found a way to get a hold of me. Its not like he wants me dead, or captured and made inert, or else I would have been dealt with long ago.

But if its not the Golden Immortal, what is it?

Im so sleepy

Its okay. I just gained a lot of power. The power of time, and a new realm, soaked in it. Maybe I just need to sleep it off, to let my body adjust.

I did die, too. In a brand new way, at that. Ive never collapsed a realm down on myself before. I did collapse the Underworld, but I had that under control, mostly, and also, I was outside of it at the time. This time yeah. This time was different.

Weariness overcame him. His eyes drooped shut, and a yawn escaped him.

Something bled into him from the room. Inside, everything mixed together. His qi, his self, the room, all of it, mixing into one. He struggled against it, then stopped. No whatevers happening, I should allow it to happen. The room becoming part of me, thats what I want. Whatever side effects comeIll take them. Its a small price to pay.

The mixing sensation grew stronger as his weariness grew stronger. The room merged into him, and he merged with the room, the two of them becoming one and the same. The urge to sleep welled up, forcing his eyes shut.

Okay. Just a little nap. Ill be awake before I know it.

And so the years passed.

Time rolled on, running forward once more. Immortals came. Some left, ascending to yet higher realms. Others died, lost in their bloodlust, or wasting their lives on useless things. Sects rose and fell, and the whole time, the Golden Immortal watched on, its unblinking gold eye gazing down from the sky. Its brows furrowed. This isnt right. None of this is right. What went wrong?

It searched all over, but found nothing. Not even a trace.

The Golden Immortal gnashed its teeth. It settled back, crossing its arms. Whoever threw this trash into my perfect realm, Ill simply wait for you to show your traces. You dont win. A fool like yourself will surely move sooner rather than later.

Deep in a forest, a gold egg sat, unmoving, unaware.

Thus, they waited, in an unknowing stalemate. And the years wore on. Until, at last

Xiao Hui, Ive come. Like we promised.
