After all, the consumption of the Thunder Principle here is truly too fast, even the seeds of the Thunder Principle are nearly unable to supply.

If he can’t find this elder, then Ye Luo can only return.

He certainly can’t sacrifice himself just to bring the elder out of the mountain. First, Ye Luo hasn’t reached the end of the road yet. At worst, he’ll take the risk to extract the essence of the Gold Silk Wood. Anyway, the base has ways to escape from the Law Enforcers, though such methods are extremely dangerous and could be a one-time deal, causing significant losses to the base, and Ye Luo would certainly pay a heavy price.

Moreover, Ye Luo is now considered a strong man himself, and if he pushes too hard when asking others for help, it might affect his state of mind.

Just then, the inexplicable energy within his body suddenly began to throb.

This energy reacted with the Death Qi! Ye Luo was greatly astonished, originally, the power of laws and the Thunder Principle had no reaction at all, neither repelling nor merging, just like the laws of two different planes, but unexpectedly it reacted with the Dark Law!

Then, what attribute does this law belong to? Another point, now that Ye Luo’s Thunder Principle is exhausted, this energy’s reaction at this critical moment should not be something good!

Could it be that a trace of the elder’s Divine Sense remains within this energy? At this thought, he broke into a cold sweat. If that were true, he’d be in danger today!

After all, if even Ye Luo’s Divine Sense couldn’t detect the elder’s Divine Sense, it shows how terrifying the elder’s Divine Sense is. If really so, Ye Luo has completely underestimated the elder’s strength.

At that moment, an elderly figure, hunched over, actually walked out slowly from the mountain, supported by a cane.

He would stop every few steps to catch his breath. Although Ye Luo’s body was disturbed by the strange power of laws, and externally, he was bothered by the Death Qi, he still noticed that this elder was actually just an ordinary person since there was no realm to study within him, neither a cultivator nor a body cultivator!

Yet he could survive here and fend off the Death Qi, which left Ye Luo astounded!

After all, this Death Qi environment is not like the South Territory’s environment. The South Territory has adaptiveness, allowing those indigenous people to survive.

But in such a Death Qi environment, a normal person would definitely not survive more than two days before perishing or being demonized!

But this elder has clearly survived for a long time, and from the look of it, this is the very elder mentioned by Miao.

Since Elder Miao spoke of him in such a manner, this elder surely possesses extraordinary qualities!

Finally, the elder arrived in front of Ye Luo, scrutinizing him intently before nodding slowly.

"Not bad, Miao still remembers my words, come with me!"

After speaking, he didnt say more, nor did he glance at Ye Luo again, but turned around and headed toward the mountain.

Interestingly, the peculiar power of laws within Ye Luo’s body became calm upon encountering the elder, at least it stopped causing disturbances.

At this moment, Ye Luo slowly rose, using the remaining Thunder Principle to fend off the Death Qi, and followed in the elder’s footsteps.

Then, Ye Luo noticed another issue, although the elder seemed to walk slowly, in reality, Ye Luo had to take several quick steps to keep up with each step the elder took.

Moreover, upon observing the elder’s stride, he seemed to inadvertently exude the charm of the Dao!

This elder, though neither a cultivator nor a body cultivator, has gleaned a trace of the Dao’s true essence, which is absolutely extraordinary!

Returning to simplicity! Ye Luo suddenly thought of this phrase!

Perhaps, this elder is even more formidable than Elder Miao.

Quickly, Ye Luo followed the elder to the center of the mountain, where there were no complete buildings, only a small grass hut. Initially, Ye Luo paid it no mind, but upon a closer look, he immediately saw something extraordinary!

He was then shocked, as the power of laws flowing on the grass hut was actually the same as the bizarre power of laws within him!

Of course, it was precisely the peculiar power of laws within Ye Luo. Could it be that this elder has some connection with the elder guarding the Transmission Array? Could it be that this elder holds secrets unknown even to Miao?

Soon, Ye Luo became cautious, as he couldn’t easily trust anyone now.

"Come in!"

The elder didn’t pay attention to Ye Luo’s expression, merely greeting him casually.

Ye Luo hesitated for a moment, then followed the elder into the grass hut. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

The grass hut was quite simple, with only a set of worn-out tables and chairs, a meditation mat on the ground, and no other living supplies. Upon entering, Ye Luo didn’t know where to sit, and standing, his head touched the top of the hut, feeling very uncomfortable.

The elder, however, was already seated on the chair, casting another glance at Ye Luo.

"Since that old guy also values you so much, I have no reason to refuse. A young man like you is indeed outstanding among those in the Holy City, our meeting can be considered fate, and I’ve waited long enough, you shall be my successor!" the elder said lightly.

Ye Luo looked at him in shock; to be chosen as a successor so easily? This was a bit too casual!

However, at that moment, the elder suddenly waved his arm at him, and instantly, that unique power of laws enveloped Ye Luo.

Immediately, he felt different, this power of laws was far more rich and pure than the trace he previously had within!

Yet, he hadn’t had the chance to comprehend the subtle mysteries of this power of laws, and found his body had undergone a slight change!

Or rather, his lifespan had changed!

Originally, at this level, his lifespan was quite lengthy, even if he lost a little, he wouldn’t perceive it!

But now, he could distinctly feel the changes in his lifespan! Which meant his lifespan must have greatly shrunk.

Then, what kind of power of laws could strip him of his lifespan! And this elder, though he spoke of making him a successor, why deprived him of his lifespan!

"You don’t need to guess wildly, I’ve already taken a hundred years of your lifespan!" the elder said calmly.

A hundred years! Ye Luo’s eyes immediately widened.

Such a lifespan might not yet be a lethal threat to Ye Luo, but one day he would reach the end of his lifespan, much like the old dragons of the Dragon Clan, or those undying elders of each family!

They relentlessly pursue lifespan, acquiring all sorts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but to increase lifespan by a hundred years requires an utterly frightening quantity of such treasures!
