Yao Ming was one step later than Jin Yu Lie. When he arrived, he saw the ground full of mess, as well as the people inside the ruins.
"You old lunatic!" he shouted.
He was originally of the same sect as the old madman, and their relationship was deep. Otherwise, the old madman wouldn't have specially invited him to go with him to Penglai.
But now, seeing this crazy old man in this state, Demonheart would naturally feel even more uncomfortable.
Seeing that the old madman had been severely injured and was about to die, the ruins suddenly moved. Xie Shuo, covered in dust, crawled out from the ruins. After being struck by the beam just now, he had only just recovered.
However, the moment he appeared and saw the heavily injured old madman, he immediately became excited.
From a distance, apart from the old lunatic, the strongest person amongst them was him. As for the old lunatic who was seriously injured, he was the one who was truly fearless.
He shouted, "Xuan, are you still unwilling to reveal the secret of the past? "You're dying. Do you want to take that secret with you into the coffin?"
The manager was stunned. At that moment, there was a strange sense of tranquility.
A moment later, Mu Yingyun came back to reality. Xie Shuo had done so much just for that secret!
She was furious. "You bastard!" As she spoke, she was about to rush over, but the old lunatic held her hand tightly.
The crazy old man looked at Xie Shuo and sneered, "Don't you just want to know what happened that year?"
"That's right!" Xie Shuo's eyes flashed with a crazy look of desire, "Daoist Immortal? Back then, what kind of deities did you see in the Penglai Immortal Realm? What did he give you? Why did he allow your cultivation to surpass the Dao Palace Realm? "
"A deity?" The old madman was stunned for a moment and then understood.
It was rumored in the martial arts world that he saw a deity! So it's a huge attraction for a lot of people. This was also the reason why everyone was coaxed by Xie Shuo to open Amu's seal. It was because of the unique nature of her body. Was it really related to the so-called deities?
However, no one knew that this was just a slip of the tongue.
When the old madman heard up to this point, he came to a realization and loudly laughed.
His laughter made Xie Shuo's scalp tingle.
Yao Ming also frowned. He was the one who spread the word about the deities, but after the old madman suffered a heavy injury in Penglai, he said the word in a daze and became a deity.
Therefore, he didn't say anything more on this matter. However, everyone thought that what they saw in the Penglai Realm was an immortal, and that the immortal gave the old madman something special that allowed him to break through to the next stage.
After Xie Shuo entered the bottleneck, he did not improve for more than ten years, and he accidentally thought about what had happened back then. So, he secretly planned everything so that he could get the truth out of the old lunatic.
When he found out that Ammu's body could raise his cultivation in a short period of time, he focused his attention on her.
At the end of the day, all he wanted was to increase his own cultivation base. In fact, he was looking forward to what would happen next.
That was the whole story!
Who would have thought that all of this was due to a slip of the tongue!
The old madman couldn't hold back his laughter. This was how he revealed the secret of that year!
"So that's how it is!" The old madman looked at Yao Ming and explained, "Back then, you heard wrong. I'm not talking about immortals, but Immortals Ascension!"
Immortal Ascension?
It was the same voice, but the truth was completely subversive!
"Do you still remember that palace we saw in the Pang Lai Immortal Realm?"
"Of course." Yao Ming would never forget the darkness that he saw that could cause people to feel despair even at the moment of his death.
"There is indeed something strange within the darkness …"
The old madman recounted everything that he had seen in the palace. It turned out that he had also seen that strange darkness back then.
However, he was extremely frightened. He felt a sense of fear in his heart. He lifted his blade and stabbed forward, but he didn't expect that there would be a powerful force in the darkness that would transfer his attack to Yao Ming who was at the side.
After Yao Ming fainted, the crazy old man gritted his teeth. They were already here. If he didn't find out, he wouldn't leave even if he died. Therefore, he fiercely rushed into the darkness.
After that, he saw the frescoes in the palace. Those frescoes were vivid and lifelike, depicting the cultivators' step by step, the events that happened at each stage, the frescoes were all-encompassing, since they depicted every type of mutation.
It was a great encyclopedia that guided a person in all aspects of cultivation.
The old madman didn't even bother to look at the situation. He just focused on the Dao Palace at the back.
And when he saw the picture of the Dao Palace in the middle of the mural, his shock could be imagined. So it turned out that the Dao Palace, which they had painstakingly pursued and trained to the point where there were no one else in the world, was actually in the middle of the entire cultivation process.
There's a lot more to come.
He took a closer look and realized that the eighth level of the Dao Palace, which he had cultivated to the peak in the Mystic Moon Continent but could never break through, was not the highest level.
The entire Dao Palace had thirteen ranks.
After passing the 13 palaces, there were still 27 ranks of Ascension. And after the Ascension, the final painting depicted a fairyland.
In the misty clouds, there were some people walking on the clouds, soaring up. They were Immortals.
This was the most important step!
The old madman was extremely shocked. At this moment, the entire hall began to tremble violently.
Those patterns began to turn blurry, as if everything was just a blur.
When the time came, if he still did not leave this place, he would disappear along with the entire palace. The old lunatic brought the heavily injured Demon Nether along with him and quickly fled.
The process was very complicated. He did not go into details, but a few simple words were enough to throw out one heavy bomb after another.
It was incomparably shocking!
Back then, the temptation to become an Immortal was simply too great. When the old madman was young, he was unable to control the thoughts in his heart and had always wanted to reach that realm. After returning from the Pangolin's Immortal Realm, he locked himself up and began cultivating like a madman.
Training should have been done step by step. Even the crazy old man at that time was a cultivation genius, but he could not resist the crazy old man's crazy thoughts.
As a result, his cultivation went berserk. His failure at transcending the tribulation had damaged his mental fortitude, so he had remained lingering at his original location. Sometimes he would wake up, sometimes he would go insane.
This was the reason why he was nicknamed the Old Madman. Over time, everyone forgot his real name and called him Old Madman.
In the past, other than the fact that he had no time to cultivate, he also believed that now that everyone knew about the secret behind the Dao Palace, there might be many people who would go insane from cultivating like this.
That was why he decided not to reveal this secret!
Only, he hadn't thought that his slip of the tongue would cause Xie Shuo to think about this day.
He also didn't expect Xie Shuo to set his sights on Amu.
As the old madman finished speaking, he looked at Mu Wanyun and Jin Yu Lie with incomparable affection. He was filled with emotion: "Back then, I thought that only cultivation was the most important thing in my life, I didn't expect that I would be wrong. I missed the best thing in my life, and I failed her who loved me. God has punished me for my madness. I asked for it. "Yun, meeting you and Amu is the happiest thing in my life."
He squeezed their hands and held them together.
Jin Yu Lie and Mu Wan Yun looked at each other, their hearts filled with dissatisfaction.
To the two of them, the old madman could be said to be their true kin. One was their foster father, while the other was their master. However, the current him knew that he was dying, but there was nothing they could do about it.
"Ah Lie, you're my only disciple. You have to treat her well. She's really a good girl. Don't disappoint her …" As he spoke, he began to cough loudly. Blood continued to gush out from his wounds, as if carrying the last of his life force away.
"Don't worry, Master. Your disciple knows."
"Ammu, with his body, I have no other choice. I can only … seal …"
Before he could finish his words, he let out his last breath and stopped breathing.
The old madman went on like that.
"Foster father!" Mu Wanyun's eyes widened as she saw the old madman's grip loosen up. After his grip loosened up and fell off powerlessly, her heart ached as if she couldn't breathe.
Her foster father had saved her in the snow, leading the two of them away from the chase sent by Lady Liu and Mu Yanran. It could be said that the reason why Mu Yunji and Amu could live as carefree and as carefree as they did today was all because of their foster father.
Now he was risking his life to save Ammu.
How could this not make Mu Wan Yun feel heartache?
Without even thinking about it, she wanted to channel all the cultivation base in her body into the old lunatic's body so that he could be revived.
However, the old madman no longer had any breath left.
Mu Yunji cried in despair.
Jin Yu didn't show any reaction on his face, but the water vapor that appeared in his eyes showed the pain he was feeling in his heart.
Looking at the sorrowful Mu Yun, he held her tightly in his arms.
"Wan'er! Wan'er!" He tightly embraced her and whispered in her ear, "If Master goes, even if you scatter all your cultivation base, you still won't be able to come. Calm down, there's still me and Ammu. "
Mu Wan Yun stopped crying in Jin Yu Lie's arms.
"Amu!" She suddenly thought of what her foster father said before he died. It seemed like he had sealed Amu's meridians. Why was that so? The godfather had been doting on Ammu to the point that he couldn't bear to harm her. There had to be a reason for why he did that. Right now, Amu's meridians had been opened by the impact. Would there be any bad consequences?
Thinking of this, Mu Wanyun quickly said to Jin Yulie, "Quickly go and see Amu."
At this moment, when Xie Shuo saw the old lunatic suddenly pass away, his face changed. Only now did he know that the path of cultivation that he painstakingly pursued truly had people who could become immortals. He said, "So that's how it is!"
The eighth level of the Dao Palace was a bottleneck. His cultivation, which had remained stagnant for more than ten years, had rapidly increased to the maximum level after a few days of training from Amu. Now, he had stepped into the eighth level of the Dao Palace.
He had originally thought that it would be impossible for him to continue on, but now it seemed that not only could he continue on, he might even reach Immortal Ascension!
Thinking of this, Xie Shuo shifted his gaze back to Amu.
