Chapter 133: Let me help you
Seeing the remnant soul of the true dragon fall to the ground, I couldn’t help but worry a little. Does this mean that the remnant soul of the true dragon has failed? But I heard the voice of the master with a hint of worry saying, “You have already survived the most difficult part of the initial fusion. Although the rest is not simple, I hope you can succeed.”
So that’s it… My nervousness suddenly relaxed a lot, and at this time, the master finally turned around and looked at the Taoist boy who was lying on the ground.
Originally, the Grandmaster’s eyes were gentle, and he was about to say something to me, but as he looked at the Taoist boy, his eyes gradually changed, becoming slightly fierce and heavy… Perhaps feeling the pressure from my Grandmaster’s eyes, the Taoist boy did not lie on the ground, but slowly stood up and looked at the Grandmaster with a calm and indifferent look that he was used to.
“You are not Chengyi.” After a few seconds of this confrontation, the master suddenly looked at the Taoist monk and spoke.
“I’m not him,” Dao Tongzi replied very clearly.
“I feel that Chen Chengyi’s will is still in this body… I don’t want to force you out, so you can figure it out yourself.” The master’s voice gradually became cold, but I was moved. Although he didn’t understand what was going on, his concern for me was not false.
“Haha, if I could, neither I nor Chen Chengyi would want to face this situation. I’m actually too lazy to talk nonsense with you. I really want Chen Chengyi to come out and explain to you what’s going on? However, I promised him that I would give him three days to completely will his attachment to this world and say goodbye to it, so I can’t waste time here.” Tao Tongzi has always been arrogant, and he is too lazy to explain to my master what is going on.
I can feel his thoughts, because my master was not kind to him when he spoke to him, so he…
In theory, anyone would be furious at the Taoist monk’s words, after all, when someone is concerned about someone close to them, the enemy still provokes them like this.
But who was my master? In my heart, he was never ordinary. When faced with such a statement from the Taoist boy, he did not become so angry that he attacked, but instead calmed down and carefully observed the Taoist boy.
Because of the loosening of the shackles, I was able to communicate with Daotongzi more freely. At this time, I could no longer remain silent. I said to Daotongzi, “I cannot control my body, so I cannot say anything to my master. But my master is not the kind of person who does not reason. You should tell my master the specific situation.”
The Taoist monk did not answer me… but I somehow sensed a sense of sadness in the Taoist monk’s heart. It was as if the master were here, and he would never have been treated like this.
To be honest, when I felt this emotion from Daotongzi, I was a little surprised… I didn’t expect Daotongzi to be so fragile and even a little naive. It’s like when an adult from another family comes out to protect their own child, the other child will instinctively think, “If my parents were here, it would be nice.”
This feeling is actually very innocent. Although I was surprised, I somehow empathized with Daotongzi because I knew how many times I had felt the same way in my life.
I was originally trying to convince Tao Tongzi, but under the influence of such emotions, I was suddenly silent for a while… What I didn’t notice was that our emotions were becoming more and more assimilated, and our feelings were becoming closer and closer.
In this silence, the Grandmaster seemed to have seen something. The Grandmaster, who always gave the impression of being more relaxed, suddenly let out a low “ah.”
This sound made me and Daotongzi break free from this inexplicable sentimental mood. Daotongzi looked at the master again, but saw the master suddenly clasp his fists and bow to Daotongzi.
The whole movement was very natural and not the slightest bit hypocritical, but it made the Taoist boy very surprised and frowning… Taoist rules are the same everywhere, and they are very particular about the order of seniority. No matter how powerful the Taoist boy is, he cannot compare with my master in terms of seniority. It would be strange if my master suddenly rushed at him like this and he wasn’t surprised.
“So that’s what happened. I was wrong to blame you. This kind of reincarnation barrier being broken, as you said, I’m afraid neither you nor Chengyi are willing to face it… From a certain point of view, you are one person, but also not one person… This is probably…” At this point, the master looked at the Taoist boy with more and more pity in his eyes, paused and then said, “My whole life, I Li Yiguang have been calculating my destiny step by step, almost to the point of calculating the heavens and the earth, and I can say that I have calculated my own destiny… but I never calculated that my disciple would face such a fate… and be able to enter the grand scheme of my Li Yiguang.”
At this point, the master sighed, which was rare, and he was silent… The desolation contained in this sigh was felt by every being in the cave, including the remnant soul of the true dragon that was fusing its will, which moved slightly.
The silence of the master made me and the Taoist monk even more at a loss for words. We were affected by the desolation and felt a sense of fate that was so frustrating. Imagine, is there anyone else in this world like this? The past and present lives occupy the same body.
“The next step is to face the war, and I can’t see your destiny either… I don’t know what the situation will be like in the end. Chengyi, I know you can hear me. The only thing I can say to you is that no matter when or where, don’t give up on yourself… As for your past life, I should call you Daotongzi, and you, when it’s time to face and admit, don’t go down the wrong path.” After saying this, the master became completely silent… just looking at the fused dragon soul, a worried look.
The cave was quiet again… The result of waiting was nothing more than the final result of the fusion of the dragon soul, and the Taoist boy who dominated my body simply sat up and meditated… But I felt a little strange inside. My master was clearly right in front of me, but I couldn’t go to my master to try to talk to him, to be intimate… It was just because we were separated by the will of a lifetime.
Time passed quietly in this strange silence… My will inexplicably fell silent again in this quiet. The shackles that had loosened because of the dispute with the Taoist boy were now slowly tightening like a merciless iron clamp.
I felt that this was my fate, and that it was useless to resist, so I simply entered that state of half-sleeping again, and heard my master sigh, followed by a long silence.
There was no way to calculate the time in the cave, and the Taoist boy didn’t care about that either. I didn’t know when I would wake up, like an old monk entering a trance… Apart from that sigh, the master didn’t make any other sound. Just when I thought this silence would last forever… a clear and crisp dragon’s roar suddenly sounded in the cave.
“Good!” I heard my master standing next to me suddenly shout in excitement, and then the Taoist acolyte also woke up from his trance, opened his eyes, and saw a majestic remnant of a true dragon hovering above the cave.
At this time… the remnant soul of the true dragon was no longer in a daze, but had regained the clarity, vicissitudes, and majesty that a true dragon should have… just a glance at those eyes made one feel an infinite desire to worship, this was the true dragon…
Compared to before, the remnant soul of this true dragon has shrunk a lot. It must have its own will and does not want to be so ostentatious anymore, accompanied by the surging wind and the appearance of thunderous thunder… Even so, a true dragon with its own will is much more majestic than the broken will of the previous true dragon.
“Hahaha… good, very good…” The master could not suppress his joy, and suddenly floated up and stood next to the remnant soul of the true dragon in the cave. The remnant soul of the true dragon also swam around my master joyfully.
“This is still not enough… Since you have completely awakened, I will once again help you more, so that you can be more complete… After that, once again, stand side by side with me and fight with all your might.” The voice of the master revealed a certain heroic ambition, and it made my heart boil with excitement.
However, if that battle is to happen, it should be fought by Daotongzi, right? Thinking about this… my heart inexplicably became a little sad.
But neither Tao Tongzi nor I had thought that after saying this, the Grandmaster looked at me and Tao Tongzi with a deep meaning. Suddenly, his soul floated towards me and Tao Tongzi at an incredible speed… and when we didn’t react, it crashed into my body.
I was stunned. Could the situation be any more complicated? Me, Daotongzi, and the master… We are all going to have three wills in the same body?
