Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 774 - Elder Yao
Chapter 774: Chapter 774 Elder Yao
Wang Chen’s shock at this moment was simply indescribable.
Although he knew that many cultivators and members of the Monster Race from the Haotian Realm had entered the Misty Mountain Realm, according to the Green Hill Fox Tribe, almost all these predecessors had perished within, and the only one who survived didn’t last long.
Yet now, a possible survivor had appeared before him!
Could it be a disciple or a descendant of some great cultivator?
But how could the other have guessed his origin?
Moreover, was their meeting merely a coincidence?
...
Wang Chen’s mind was flooded with thousands of thoughts, and he was momentarily stunned.
“Thousand Star Immortal City, ah…”
The man in plain clothes revealed a nostalgic expression, “Many years ago, I visited once. Is Flower Full Pavilion still there?”
“Uh…”
Wang Chen was at a loss for words.
Flower Full Pavilion was one of the most famous places in Thousand Star Immortal City. It was said that the courtesans there were incredibly charming, each with unique skills, making it a top-notch Soul-Consuming Den.
Wang Chen had not been to Flower Full Pavilion, but he had heard of it.
The problem was, this person of indeterminate age, upon opening his mouth, inquired about Flower Full Pavilion, which put Wang Chen in an awkward position, not knowing how to respond.
“Is it gone?”
The man in plain clothes looked disappointed, “That’s such a shame.”
“It’s still there.”
Wang Chen hastily asked, “Senior, how long have you been in this world?”
The man in plain clothes counted on his fingers and then answered, “Almost three thousand years.”
Three thousand years!
Wang Chen nearly choked on his saliva—how could this be possible!?
Although the Misty Mountain Realm was not entirely a Spiritless Land, it wasn’t much different from the mortal world. Given the restrictions of the world’s rules, even a Nascent Soul True Immortal couldn’t survive for long, let alone three thousand years!
In this world, transcendental and Entry Tao cultivators had lifespans of only two to three hundred years.
“You don’t believe it, do you?”
The man in plain clothes sighed, “I was trapped in this world because of someone’s scheme. I should have perished long ago, but at the time, I happened to carry a Reincarnation Treasure.”
“Counting up to this life, I’ve already undergone twelve reincarnations!”
Wang Chen was astonished, “That powerful?”
The man in plain clothes gave a wry smile, “What’s so powerful about it?”
His treasure, in the Haotian Realm, could be used only once, which means it allowed him to reincarnate once.
However, in the Misty Mountain Realm, the man in plain clothes had reincarnated a full twelve times!
Surviving for so long might seem like a stroke of luck, but in reality, these repeated reincarnations felt more like a hopeless imprisonment to him.
For over two thousand years, the man in plain clothes had tried every method possible to return to the Haotian Realm and had also made efforts to find the source of the Misty Mountain Realm, but all attempts ended in failure.
“For all these years, I’ve been looking for like-minded companions.”
The man in plain clothes said, “I’ve scattered all the magical treasures I brought with me, hoping that newcomers would acquire them.”
Within the core of these magical treasures, a bit of the man’s Divine Sense was imprinted. Once activated by someone, he could perceive it from thousands of miles away and then follow the trace to find them.
Regrettably, after more than two thousand years, none of the treasures he had intentionally scattered had been activated.
Until a few days ago.
“The Infinity Mirror is yours!”
Wang Chen’s mind was clear, and many of his questions were immediately answered.
The elderly man in plain clothes gave a slight smile, “That’s right, the true founder of the Infinity Sect was indeed me.”
He perceived that the Infinity Mirror had been activated and immediately rushed thousands of miles to Red Cliff City, even infiltrating Wang Chen’s residence.
Then, through the Infinity Realm, he found Wang Chen!
In fact, the ability to pinpoint locations using the Infinity Realm was a method the elderly man had pre-emptively set!
Wang Chen, who fully understood the situation, inwardly sighed in relief, fortunate that the other party bore no ill intentions, or else he would have had no clue as to how he could have died!
He respectfully inquired, “May I ask the senior’s esteemed name?”
“A disheartened person, it’s not worth mentioning my name.”
The elderly man in plain clothes waved his hand and said, “Just call me Elder Yao.”
Wang Chen offered a salute, “Junior Wang Chen, I’ve seen Elder Yao!”
The other was a Nascent Soul True Immortal, who had also spent nearly three thousand years in the Mist Mountain Realm; he was certainly worthy of any grand gesture from him!
“There’s no need for formalities.”
Elder Yao obviously did not care about the status difference between them, his address was very casual, “Being fellow fallen ones from the immortal realm, I was actually hoping you could help me!”
“Right.”
He inquired, “How did you come down here?”
Wang Chen certainly did not hide anything and told the Nascent Soul True Immortal all about his experiences.
Elder Yao, after listening, was stunned for a moment, “Are you saying that the Questioning World Bell has always been in the hands of the Fox Tribe of Green Hill?”
Wang Chen nodded, “As far as I know, yes.”
“I see!”
Elder Yao suddenly understood, “No wonder for so many years, none of my magical treasures had been activated.”
When he was plotted against and fell into the Mist Mountain Realm, the Questioning World Bell was not in the hands of the Fox Tribe, and once the Fox Tribe obtained this treasure, they certainly wouldn’t allow human cultivators to explore it.
And even if the Monster Race got hold of his scattered magical treasures, they wouldn’t be able to activate them.
This caused all of Elder Yao’s schemes to fall through.
Until the appearance of the variable that was Wang Chen!
The once Nascent Soul True Immortal looked at Wang Chen with an expression filled with complexity, “Time and fate, the great Dao numbers fifty, the heavens create forty-nine, humans elude one, as destiny commands!”
He clapped his hands and sat down with a thud, his wrinkled old face revealing a relieved smile.
“Hahahaha!”
Amidst the laughter, Elder Yao’s hair went from snow-white to jet-black, his skin became smooth and delicate, and in an instant, he looked decades younger, his entire being brimming with vitality and energy.
However, this return to youth was but a fleeting moment, and the next second, the Nascent Soul True Immortal quickly aged and decayed.
As he gazed at Wang Chen, he spoke a truth, “A great dream of three thousand years, today I transcend reincarnation!”
As soon as his words fell, Elder Yao entirely transformed into specks of radiance, silently drifting apart in the air.
Before Wang Chen’s eyes, these luminescent specks quickly coalesced into a pearl the size of a dragon’s eye, and gently fell into his hand.
Wang Chen felt as if he had just had a dream, it all seemed so unreal.

As he was still in a daze, a voice suddenly resonated in his Sea of Consciousness, “Wang lad, take this Reincarnation Pearl back to the Haotian Realm, and consider it my gift to you of a Cave Mansion!”
Wang Chen immediately realized that Elder Yao had turned to ash right there, entrusting a sliver of his True Spirit into the Reincarnation Pearl, and then placed his hope of returning to the Haotian Realm onto him.
And for the Nascent Soul True Immortal to be so urgent, the situation he faced must have been extremely critical.
Wang Chen’s guess was not wrong.
After twelve cycles of reincarnation, Elder Yao’s Reincarnation Pearl had exhausted its power and could no longer aid him in being reborn.
The Nascent Soul True Immortal, if he did not take advantage of his current power to entrust his True Spirit, might in time definitely dissipate entirely, with no chance of return.
Wang Chen was his last hope!
