Ji Tongzhou smiled, "Originally, I saw a treasure at the Gathering of Immortals that could separate the evil energy from my body, but now I no longer need it."
"What is this Gathering of Immortals?"
"The Gathering of Immortals is a grand event in the Cultivation World where various cultivators can trade their treasures. Of course, while money cannot be traded directly, it can be exchanged for mortal treasures, which can then be used for trading."
"This is the first time I've heard of such a thing."
"Brother Ye, as you are new to the Cultivation World, there are many interesting things ahead."
"Indeed... Ji Daozhang, may I ask what your plans are next?"
"Now that the weight on my heart has been lifted, there isn't much left for me to do. I'm thinking of finding a quiet place to continue my seclusion. The current Cultivation World is no longer suitable for me."
"Ji Daozhang, may I trouble you with something?"
"Feel free to ask."
"I have a friend who has yet to develop his spiritual power. I would like him to learn some Spellcasting, and right now there happens to be a good teacher available. I wonder how Chang Yi would feel about this."
Upon hearing this, Ji Tongzhou laughed heartily, "Hahaha... I thought it was something serious; turns out you want me to take on a disciple? Life in seclusion can be quite lonely; having a disciple to accompany me wouldn't be bad at all. I just wonder if he can endure hardship."
"No problem, I'll take you back to meet him right away."
"Alright then."
Ji Tongzhou led the way and stepped out of the barrier first. Just as Ye Xiu was about to follow, a familiar voice rang out.
"What’s this? You arrive and don’t even come to see your old friend?"
As the voice echoed, Ye Xiu could no longer see the world outside the barrier, and Ji Tongzhou outside could not see what was happening inside either.
Ye Xiu remembered now; it was that bloody ghost! The first ghost he had encountered.
Hmph, the current Ye Xiu was different. Compared to his present understanding, tangible ghosts were often not that strong. Well then, let's see what you can do to me.
Am I going to let you bully me again?
He looked in the direction of the voice but saw nothing. In an instant, that bloody ghost appeared before Ye Xiu, in less than a breath's time—teleportation?
This speed was terrifying compared to his Azure Cloud Formula! This speed might even rival Yan Changting's!
To be honest, it startled Ye Xiu.
"You... I'm not the Ye Xiu from before. What do you want? Don't act recklessly," Ye Xiu said, raising his hands defensively and stepping back.
"I've come; we will meet again. I just didn't expect it to be so soon," the Blood Demon replied with a smile.
Ye Xiu stopped retreating, took out his Silver Needle, and fixed his gaze on the Blood Demon.
Seeing that the Blood Demon made no move, Ye Xiu decided to strike first, lunging forward with the Silver Needle aimed at the Blood Demon.
The first strike hit!
The Blood Demon did not dodge at all, allowing Ye Xiu to attack.
Is he underestimating me? He didn’t even try to evade.
Ye Xiu continued to stab repeatedly with the needle, growing increasingly suspicious that his Silver Needle might just be an ordinary Embroidered Needle.
Then the Blood Demon chuckled and said, "It's just the first needle of Master Zuo's Seven Needles. How dare you be so arrogant?"
The Blood Demon suddenly straightened, radiating pure white spiritual energy! Just this energy alone forced Ye Xiu back several steps.
How could a ghost possess such overwhelming and pure spiritual power?
Moreover, how did he know that Ye Xiu was using Master Zuo's Seven Needles?
"Don't bring out tricks like Master Zuo's Seven Needles to embarrass yourself in the future," the Blood Demon mocked.
"What... what do you want?"
Ye Xiu now realized that he and the Blood Demon were on completely different levels; even the leaders of contemporary sects would be nothing more than ants in front of him.
"I'm just bored. I don't know why, but I feel a strange closeness to you. I don't know why I've been guarding this place in this form, and I have no idea why I can't go anywhere else. I don't understand the meaning of my existence."
Ye Xiu was bewildered.
This Blood Demon knew nothing yet felt close to him?
"How do you know that this Silver Needle is the first needle of Master Zuo's Seven Needles?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Because I can use it too, and the seventh needle of Master Zuo's Seven Needles is within me!"
"Who... who are you?"
"I don't know who I am. My existence has lasted for three thousand years..."
Three thousand years...
Once again, it was three thousand years.
What exactly happened three thousand years ago?
The Seven Lives Sect?
The Seven Lives Showdown?
And everything that has vanished?
"But now that I've seen you, I understand! We share the same origin!"
Before him stood the Blood Demon, as a beam of light descended fiercely, enveloping the Blood Demon, who let out a wretched scream.
The blue-white beam was identical to the one that had once shrouded Yan Changting atop Qishan.
However, Ye Xiu had not witnessed that scene back then.
After a while, the beam faded, and the Blood Demon appeared weak, slowly becoming faint and indistinct.
He was a corporeal ghost; how could he now become so insubstantial?
"Cough... perhaps I've overdone it. I need to rest now, but remember, whenever you're confused in the future, you must come find me! Remember, you must come..."
With that, the Blood Demon vanished into thin air.
Then, the barrier shattered.
Standing before him was Ji Tongzhou.
Ji Tongzhou turned to Ye Xiu and said, "What's wrong? Are we leaving?"
"Oh?"
"What are you staring at?"
"Ah?"
"What's wrong with you? Huh? Why did that barrier disappear?"
Ji Tongzhou pointed towards where the barrier used to be.
Not far away, a ghost had already crossed over, invading the forest park.
The original purpose of that barrier was to block all Demons.
"Didn't you see what just happened?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Just now? What happened?" Ji Tongzhou replied, puzzled. "Weren't you going to take me to see my disciple? I just stepped outside."
"What?"
Ye Xiu was clearly stunned. From Ji Tongzhou's perspective, everything Ye Xiu had experienced seemed like a dream, completely not occupying any time in the Present World. That barrier transcended both space and time!
"Ah... it's nothing. Let's go."
"Friend Ye isn't possessed, is he?" Ji Tongzhou joked.
All the way, Ye Xiu remained silent.
What did the Blood Demon mean by "you and I share the same origin"?
"What is it about this sentence that can invoke condemnation?"
To Ye Xiu, that beam of light seemed like a form of condemnation. Now, he believed that the Blood Demon had broken some kind of mechanism, which led to this condemnation.
Yan Changting had also spoken similar words to himself; he felt very familiar with his own blood, which was why he taught himself the Seven Lives Decision.
The Blood Demon was also aware of Master Zuo's Seven Needles, and it had existed for three thousand years.
Could it be that the Blood Demon was also part of the Seven Lives Sect? Like Yan Changting, was it bound to this forest park for three thousand years due to a mission, unable to take a single step?
What secrets lay hidden behind all these matters?
Why did they all seem to converge upon him?
Could it be that all of this was related to him? To that missing brother of his?
These questions troubled Ye Xiu.
Before long, the two arrived home.
