Capítulo 1968: Chapter 1967: The Evil Path Cultivator from Three Hundred Years Ago and the Longevity Immortal

The Old Ghost has indeed accumulated a lot of things here.

The Time-Space Shuttle of the Time-Space Marshal is almost useless for attack.

Yet in terms of speed, it’s unparalleled.

The Old Ghost continued, “This object is of little use to me.

I rarely go out from this shop, so a speed treasure is indeed a pearl cast in the dark.”

“I won’t take your stuff for nothing,” Xu Zimei said.

“Give this to me, and you can make one request.”

“A request,” the Old Ghost pondered briefly.

Finally, he said, “How about longevity?

I wish to live another ten thousand years.”

Even before Xu Zimei could speak, the Old Ghost continued.

He was sitting shakily to the side.

Earlier, when looked at, the Old Ghost’s back was slightly hunched, yet his entire presence was unnerving, making it hard to look directly at him.

But if you observe carefully.

You will find that although the aura of the Old Ghost is unfathomable, hidden within this is a certain frailty.

It is like an ancient tree that has grown to the height of the sky-reaching great tree, thus starting to decline.

With great prosperity comes inevitable decline.

Just like the Old Ghost’s skin, cracked in countless places.

Only then did the Old Ghost say, “I have lived many years, from the Ancient Era to now.”

Hearing this, Xu Zimei knew he had encountered an ancient monster.

From the Ancient Era to now, it’s likely when the Empress initially built this Victory City, he was already living here.

Until this era.

The time is so ancient that it is incalculable.

To survive until now, imaginable how arduous it must be.

The Old Ghost continued, “No one wants to die, even if with a remnant body, to persist until today, I am willing.

But as time progresses, I increasingly feel the weakness within, life and youth are fading away.”

“Over these times, I have consumed many longevity extension drugs, now even my body has built resistance.

Ordinary longevity drugs have no effect on me anymore.”

“So how do you want me to help you?” Xu Zimei asked.

In terms of true immortality, Xu Zimei really didn’t have a solution at the moment.

Primarily, this Old Ghost has lived too long, and he has developed resistance to longevity drugs.

But it seemed the Old Ghost had long made plans.

Only hearing him chuckle, “In our Victory City, countless sages once left inheritances.”

“The Empress’s flags include the three saints of virtue, longevity, and prosperity.”

“That I know, among them, virtue is the Fortune True Saint,” Xu Zimei nodded.

When he previously entered the city, he encountered the Ancient Well of Fortune, which was left by the Fortune True Saint.

“Among virtue, longevity, and prosperity, longevity is represented by the Longevity Immortal,” the Old Ghost explained.

“The Longevity Immortal once left behind an item.

Named the Longevity Turtle.”

“It is said that this Longevity Turtle is the descendant of the first tortoise between heaven and earth.

Flowing through its veins is an ancient bloodline.

If one can make soup from this tortoise, regardless of the resistance your body has, it can extend life by ten thousand years.”

“You want me to exchange the Longevity Turtle for the Time-Space Shuttle?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Actually, you can’t really say that it’s an exchange,” the Old Ghost explained.

“A long time ago, I had always been scheming for this Longevity Turtle.

But the inheritance the Longevity Immortal left is too complex, with my ability, I still lack some of it.

I wish to borrow some of your power, and then I should be able to obtain this Longevity Turtle.”

“Moreover, I am proficient in divination, and if I can get the shell of the Longevity Turtle, I’m afraid my art of divination would advance even further.”

Xu Zimei had also understood.

This Old Ghost intended to join forces with him.

He thought for a moment and then said, “I can agree with you, but besides the Time-Space Shuttle.

I also need you to help me divine something.”

“No problem, what do you want to divine?” the Old Ghost nodded.

“You know about the Fortune True Well, don’t you?” Xu Zimei asked.

“There, the Fortune True Saint had suppressed malice qi.

But when I entered earlier, I discovered the malice qi was gone, so I want to know where it went.”

“If you wish to know this, I don’t even need to divine it, I can tell you right now,” the Old Ghost said with a smile.

“The malice qi had been suppressed for a long time.

Until three hundred years ago, an Evil Path Cultivator appeared in Victory City.

This Evil Path Cultivator had a secret technique, capable of controlling all malevolent beings. When the Evil Path Cultivator first came to Victory City, he actually attempted to dominate this city.

At that time, he dispatched countless evil beings, surrounding more than half of Victory City.”

You must know, today’s Victory City is vast beyond measure, to be surrounded, the number of those evil beings must have been tremendous.

Calling it an evil tide wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

“The Evil Path Cultivator initially had the upper hand; even the Nine Great Sovereigns’ forces didn’t react in time and were caught off guard.”

“However, the foundation of Victory City remains strong, the formations left by the Empress weren’t broken by the evil beings at all.

Plus, some hidden powerhouses within the city took action, eventually eradicating the evil beings.

And the wounded Evil Path Cultivator fled, ultimately captured by the people of Heaven Edge.”

Heaven Edge is also one of the Nine Great Sovereigns’ forces.

When Victory City was attacked by the evil beings, they were among the first to aid.

After capturing the Evil Path Cultivator, we originally thought he’d be executed.

Unexpectedly, a hundred years later, Heaven Edge announced that this Evil Path Cultivator became Guest Elder, joining Heaven Edge.

……

“The Evil Path Cultivator is related to that malice qi?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Indeed, after joining Heaven Edge, the conflicts with Victory City ceased.

Under the Ancient Well of Fortune, I had always paid attention to that malice qi.

After gaining consciousness, the malice qi cooperated with the Evil Path Cultivator and escaped from the Ancient Well of Fortune together.

Although the Fortune True Saint’s seal was formidable, with Heaven Edge’s covert assistance, coupled with time, the power of the seal eventually weakened.”

“As long as you find that Evil Path Cultivator, you’ll find the malice qi.”

“As for this Evil Path Cultivator, he’s in Heaven Edge, I can take you there now.”

“No rush,” Xu Zimei waved his hand.

He said, “First, tell me about the Longevity Immortal’s inheritance, what difficulty prevents you from doing it alone.”

Although not having fought, Xu Zimei understood the Old Ghost ought to be very powerful.

It’s at least at the level of dividing the Three Corpses, whether he’s achieved Enlightenment is unknown.

“Honestly, if I were at my prime, even if the Longevity Immortal was alive, I could fight him.

Not to mention a mere inheritance.”

The Old Ghost first reminisced a bit, then sighed, saying.

“Unfortunately, I am already old now, every bit of power I use reduces my lifespan significantly.

If I forcefully exerted all my efforts, it would not be worth the loss.”

“In that inheritance, there is a Longevity Tree that has gained essence and cultivated, it has always protected that Longevity Turtle.

My idea is, I’ll engage the Longevity Tree while you seize the opportunity to take the Longevity Turtle.”

At this point, the Old Ghost still reminded with a word of caution.

“Although the Longevity Turtle seems harmless on the surface, how strong it truly is, I am also uncertain.”
