In a corner of the 18 levels of the deep abyss, in front of a short grave, the soil moved and a white palm squeezed out.
This was the hand of an old man. Its skin folded and there was no flesh at all. The skin tightly attached to the bones and it seemed like a dry corpse.
“I am really going to die.” The old man climbed out from the soil and he was totally wet. He knew clearly that he was about to die.
No medicine could save him and no doctor could cure him.
“My soul and body have been shattered. I don’t have long to live.” The hope in the old man’s eyes had been extinguished. He knew that he was about to die.
“I am going to die but I can’t die in my own home, what a regret.” The old man gave a tragic smile and he looked on in despair. Time seemed to flow backwards and he returned to the small sect he spent 20 years at when he was young.
Many peach trees blossomed and the scent of flowers wafted in the air. There was a person under the cherry blossoms, wearing a red skirt and looking at him with a flower-like smile.
This was the girl that he loved, the moonlight in front of his window.
“I left the sect when I was 20 and thought that it was a small place and that I needed to see the world. But after leaving, the place I wanted to return to most was that small sect.” The old man smiled woefully. His heart was aching. His whole life he had been chasing something that he always had.
As time went on, he abandoned these things one by one and ended up like that.
“If I have a chance to restart, I wouldn’t enter this deep abyss and join in that celebration. In the end, I even lost myself.” The old man’s eyes were filled with regret. His breathing calmed down such that it all disappeared.
“Cherry Blossom Mountain…” At the last moment, the old man’s desire for home won his hatred.
* Crack!*
Space, a red watch landed onto the old man’s body.
But the old man was already dead.
He used his strength to climb out, using up his last bit of energy. His injuries exploded, he couldn’t control himself anymore and he died.
The red watch landed half a beat later.
The red watch was stunned and after sensing, it realized that the host was really dead and it wanted to leave.
* Kacha!*
But at that moment, a piece of twin fish pendant flew out from space. It was an artifact spirit that shattered the watch.
“I will complete your final wishes.” This artifact spirit was a girl. Like ink, like mountain water, like spring breeze. She was really beautiful and brought with her the beauty from the countryside.
She appeared, shattering the red watch. She was going to complete her dead master’s wishes.
The watch shattered and the girl returned to the pendant. The old man’s corpse disappeared and he entered the Bank of the Universe.
…
Within the Bank of the Universe, Li Xiandao looked at the old man and blinked.
A corpse!
This was the new guest?
Li Xiandao thought that it was fake and that it was a prank but Seven nodded her head solemnly. Only then did he know that all of this wasn’t fake.
The new guest was really a corpse.
Li Xiandao looked at the corpse and frowned, “Since the guest is already dead, then he shouldn’t come in. A watch is waste and it has no value at all.”
“Someone crushed the watch.” Seven said innocently.
“He is already dead, did he shatter it before he died?” Li Xiandao was really confused. He looked carefully at the old man.
He was so thin that he didn’t look like a human. If one didn’t look carefully, one wouldn’t notice that he was a Destiny Realm expert when he was alive.
“I was the one who shattered it.” A female voice rang out. A green wisp flew out from the twin fish jade pendant and turned into a girl.
A girl with a countryside aura.
“You are an artifact spirit?” Li Xiandao’s brow rose up. She looked at the jade pendant. It was of great quality and was a celestial artifact.
“Right, I am the jade pendant’s artifact spirit. This is my master and he has died. I used my stored up energy to appear.” The artifact spirit nodded her head.
Li Xiandao fully understood. This guest should be her Master. This person died before the watch appeared which resulted in the current scenes.
What should he do?
Li Xiandao injected true qi into the artifact spirit to ensure that she wouldn’t disappear from the lack of spiritual energy. He asked, “Since you shattered the watch then you are my guest. So what would you like to trade?”
The artifact spirit pointed and said, “Send my Master home and bury him beneath Cherry Blossom Mountain.”
“So simple?” Li Xiandao was curious.
“Right, this was his biggest regret, something he regrets even more than people he hates. He would rather not take revenge and complete this final matter.” The artifact spirit nodded her head.
“I understand. Since that is the case then what price can you pay?” Li Xiandao asked.
“Me.” The artifact spirit pointed at herself. Her petite body gave off a different kind of charm.
Shua!
Li Xiandao felt like a gaze landed on his body.
Li Xiandao coughed, “Your main body is the twin fish jade pendant?”
“Right, this pendant is my main body and is a celestial artifact. It is strong at protecting one’s body and it can help adjust one’s cultivation ability. When one wears it, one will get many benefits.” The artifact spirit nodded her head.
“Your main body and your request are comparable. I can bury your master but I have some questions for you.” Li Xiandao bent down and picked the pendant up to pass to Seven.
Seven smiled, she seemed really elegant and noble.
“What do you want to ask?” The artifact spirit looked at Li Xiandao curiously.
“Has your Master always been living in the deep abyss?” Li Xiandao asked.
He sensed the pendant. The master was really strong and was at least stage eight. In Heaven Sky, he was an expert.
But he died and died quite badly. It was like he climbed out from the dirt himself.
In truth, he really did.
“My Master left home when he was 20 and ended up in the deep abyss by accident. He rose up here and it has been 10,000 years since. He reached stage eight but because of an accident, he died here.” The artifact spirit said regretfully.
“What accident?” Li Xiandao’s eyes lit up. He wanted to understand the situation here.
This person lived in the deep abyss for so long and he definitely understood the place like the back of his fingertips. As the celestial artifact he carried, the jade pendant definitely knew about things that Li Xiandao didn’t.
“That is because the four kings in the deep abyss want to become Celestials in the human world so they are working hard to dig up the ancient treasure.” The artifact spirit added.
“Celestials in the human world!” Li Xiandao looked at her in shock. He didn’t expect there to be such a situation.
