Chapter 244.
A powerful force gradually spread out on this old man in front of him.
Everything in the surroundings, was twisting as if affected by the old man’s aura, unconsciously being sidelined.
On the old man’s body, there was a feeling of twilight, but if one thought that such an old man was an old man who was about to step into a coffin, that would be a big mistake.
Although it is twilight, but that age in the body of the old man, as if to avoid, simply do not dare to leave the slightest trace.
Although he looked the same as the age-old, Zhou An thought that the old man in front of him, was not the age-old.
The old man looked at Zhou An, the approval in his eyes, growing stronger and stronger, revealing a very appreciative smile, “How did you recognize this situation?”
Zhou An pointed around and slowly said, “I think that vertical people, even if they have a perverted personality, would not do something like this blatant face jumping.”
The words were rough.
In Zhou An’s place, even if he had some sort of perverted idea, he wouldn’t pick out his own plan in front of others, or even give them back what they called what they chose.
This was even more impossible.
All of this came too abruptly, especially the scene of jumping on his face just now, the feeling that Formation Heavenly Father gave him was just too abrupt.
Wouldn’t it have been simpler and more convenient to quietly bury the coffin and let Zhou An assimilate with it and Yin himself, and still not have to worry about anything happening?
So this was Zhou An’s biggest doubt.
The old man suddenly realized, “Indeed too hasty, time is limited, you will be leaving again soon, there must be a way to keep you, and by the way, see how your talent is.”
Zhou An remained silent and did not answer the question.
After a slight pause, the old man opened his mouth once again and asked, “And how can you confirm that I am not aged?”
Zhou An did not answer and asked instead, “I wonder how much of those illusions senior showed me were true and how much were false?”
The old man thought for a moment and said, “Basically true, except for my identity, which is not in the illusion.”
Zhou An understood, and then said, “Then I can conclude that the senior is not an aged old man, in the illusionary realm, the aged old man was dead, sleeping with history and resting with the years, but after death, his bones were transformed into bas-reliefs, and carved with tombstones.”
“And when I came to this space before, what I saw was a skeleton, and on the stone slab in front of the skeleton, only half of it was carved, and the skeleton made me fall into an illusion, so this skeleton, it must be someone other than the aged old man.”
“So I concluded that senior is that skeleton, or changed into a skeleton.”
Saying this, Zhou An stopped talking, but the meaning was already self-evident.
The old man’s smile grew on his face as Zhou An spoke, and the appreciation in his eyes grew more and more exuberant.
When Zhou An had finished, the old man asked.
“In this world today, are all the contemporary young people as shrewd and capable as you are?”
Zhou An thought for a moment, then said in an affirmative tone, “I don’t know, I couldn’t feel it when I beat them.”
When these words were finished, even a living Epic like the old man could not help but stiffen his face.
He always felt that this answer from Zhou An had gone beyond his expectations.
“Elder, changing back to the topic, I would like to know, what exactly is your identity?” Zhou An continued to ask.
The old man did not answer and shook his head, then in a very exasperating tone, he said, “Guess.”
The corner of Zhou An’s mouth twitched slightly.
He saw that the old man seemed like he really did not intend to answer and actually guessed.
Zhou An then rubbed his chin with his hand and walked back and forth.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly thought of something and turned his head violently, looking at the clothes on the old man.
It was still the same white clothes, just like the skeleton from before, but the details on top of this white clothes were even more obvious than before.
At the collar and cuffs of the white garment, there was a thin line of light gold color, tattooing an auspicious cloud, as well as tiny long patterns, like dragons.
Zhou An narrowed his eyes as if he had already guessed something, and then lowered his hand, suddenly arching his hand and saying, “Late generation Zhou An, meet Your Majesty.”
Your Majesty.
When those two words were spoken, the old man’s expression gave a start, then revealed reminiscence and deep thought, as if he was reminiscing about his previous years.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve heard this kind of address.” The old man sighed, “In the current state of affairs, who is the emperor in your country and what realm is it?”
Zhou An shook his head, “Nowadays, there are a few countries, and the emperor of my country, Da Chu, does not know what kind of strength he is.”
He answered honestly, changing from his previous jumpy behavior.
After all, what he had just guessed, if he was right, then this one in front of him was most likely the emperor of the so-called Great Domain Dynasty that transcended the four great sects, that endless number of years ago.
“How did you guess my identity?” The old man asked with interest.
Zhou An said without hesitation, “To be able to go deeper into it and live longer than any of the Ancient Epics, then it must be above the four great sects, and for an existence above the leader of the four great sects, I can only guess such an identity.”
Just like the current Great Chu Kingdom, is the State Master strong, is the Chief Minister strong, is the Prime Minister strong?
But there was one even stronger than them, and that was Emperor Xingwu.
If Emperor Xingwu sat in the Great Chu Kingdom, the Great Chu Kingdom would not be in chaos.
Thus, Zhou An came up with this conjecture.
“Since you’re not an emperor anymore, there’s no need to call me Your Majesty.” The old man smiled and said, “My real name is Yang, so you can just call me Yang Lao.”
Only then did Zhou An put down his hand and said, “Thank you, Elder Yang, may I ask what is the meaning of Elder Yang’s sudden appearance and giving me an illusion?”
Asking questions when there were questions, this was Zhou An’s own character, and in a situation like this, being direct was the best.
Because the one standing in front of him was a legend who had lived beyond the years independently, and was still one of the people who stood at the very top in that era.
If like this kind of character, what kind of small mind you play in front of him, people simply don’t need to use their ability, directly casually glance, will be able to feel out.
After all, the little rice you eat, not as much as the salt others eat, the road you have traveled, not as much as the bridge others have walked, what to play small mind?
That’s why simple is the ultimate.
Zhou An thought that the other party would give him some lofty answer, let’s say that because he looked at you as being talented and having amazing talent, he wanted to test it out and then give you blah blah blah treasures, just like the novels he used to read.
Who knew that after this sentence was asked, Elder Yang unexpectedly shook his head.
“I was just bored after being here for a long time, and it was hard to see a person come in, so I just had this thought.”
It was that simple and that direct.
Zhou An’s head was filled with black lines, but when he thought about it, it actually made sense.
At their realm, to be honest, long years were just a snap of the fingers for them.
What kind of talent, what kind of heavenly pride hadn’t they seen?
It was just that Elder Yang was definitely bored after being here for a long time.
And to be honest, other than Zhou An, this pervert, just by virtue of the Tongling Realm, even if this ancient city stood in front of them, they wouldn’t necessarily be able to find it.
So after so many years, only Zhou An had walked in it once, and because of that, Elder Yang came to be curious, using those illusions to know Zhou An’s previous events, and testing Zhou An in passing, it was as simple as that.
“Then, Elder Yang, why exactly are you staying here?” Zhou An did not get the answer he wanted and continued to ask.
He was really curious now, and even more so, he was interested in this former emperor of an entire dynasty.
After all, as far as he knew and was aware of, in that ancient era, there was only such a dynasty.
That could be much more powerful than the current Great Chu Kingdom.
After all, there wasn’t any country that could be said to have unified the world yet.
Everyone was divided into groups.
And in that era, a dynasty that could unify the world could be said to be unique.
It was still really standing above the four major disciplines.
In response to Zhou An’s question, loneliness and nostalgia appeared in Yang Lao’s eyes again as he waved his hand, and in front of them, a table as well as two chairs appeared.
Then, Yang Lao remembered something and waved his hand again, another chair appeared in front of him.
“Sit down, and tell the little girl inside your shadow, to come out and sit down as well, this little girl really likes you, the woman I simulated, slightly molested, is full of killing energy.” Yang Lao slowly said.
After saying that, he sat himself on the chair.
Although he laughed at himself and said that he was no longer an emperor, every action was filled with an aura of looking down on the world that was unique to emperors.
Even just sitting there, there was a strong air of superiority coming from him.
Zhou An was natural, and he was never restrained, sitting directly across from him, at the same time, the Black Jade in the shadow drilled out and sat next to Zhou An.
And ever since it came out, Black Jade looked at Elder Yang with a particularly interested look.
Elder Yang was also very open and looked back at Black Jade with an elder’s gaze.
Zhou An sat next to him and looked at these two, feeling that Black Jade was a bit strange.
From the day Black Jade followed him, he had never seen her so interested in anyone, and this was really the first time.
Seemingly sensing Zhou An’s gaze, Black Jade turned her head over, and then with her white hands, gently placed them on Zhou An’s arm, carefully pulling it a bit, and put her rosy lips, to Zhou An’s ear, and muttered in a small voice.
“Zhou An, he is very similar to me.”
When Zhou An heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
This kind of whispering, in the eyes of those in the business, was no different from plotting out loud.
Of course, he was also a frank person and naturally listened to these words in his ears.
After hearing them, he fell into deep thought.
Similar?
When these two words appeared, Zhou An immediately thought of something and violently turned his head, looking at Elder Yang, the shock in his eyes undisguised.
“Elder Yang, can it be that you are half human and half bizarre?”
Black Jade was half-human, half-creepy, and if it came to similarities, there was only this one guess.
As expected, after Zhou An uttered these words, Elder Yang unexpectedly nodded and said unapologetically, “You guessed it right, I am the first, she should be the second, but I am in a different situation, this little girl seems to have come out by way of birth, while I am different, I became like this because of the gradual erosion of the endless years, in order to survive. ”
Saying this, Yang Lao waved his hand.
At that moment, everything around him, the scenery, began to gradually change.
Zhou An realized that he was still in the room, but everything around him had turned into an illusion.
Afterward, Elder Yang pointed ahead and said with a smile.
“Your brat has a lot of curiosity, so let’s see, how I survived.”
Zhou An turned his head in the direction Yang Lao pointed and looked over, and then, he saw that not far away, a man who bore some resemblance to Yang Lao was sitting in place.
However, it was not the image of an old man, but a middle-aged man with a strong figure.
The middle-aged man was wearing a yellow robe, and his physique was extremely majestic, giving off a feeling of greatness.
Other than that, he was like a god sitting at the top, eyeing everything under the sun.
Even if he was just sitting on the ground, it was as if behind him, there was a throne that connected the heavens to the earth, with all beings revolving within his hands.
This was the founder of the Great Domain Dynasty, that unrivaled emperor.
However, at this moment, besides that majestic aura of heaven and earth, on Yang Lao, there was a dull twilight aura.
“I’m dying.”
In the illusionary realm, Yang Lao sighed, his straight back did not bend, but his essence had already taken a sharp turn for the worse.
“Everyone is dead, old acquaintances are gone, and Greenie is gone, I should have died, but I’m not at ease.”
“So I’m here, waiting until I’m about to die, then I’ll use Green Clothes and all my old friends to suppress me completely.”
Hearing this, Zhou An raised his eyebrows and seemed to understand what it meant.
According to this meaning, Elder Yang was probably also afraid that he would be a danger to the entire world after he became weird, so he was also trying to use Green Clothes’ method to suppress himself.
Zhou An did not say anything and patiently continued to watch.
Then, everything before his eyes, began to change again.
Elder Yang’s body was getting worse by the day, and his physique had also changed from that of a middle-aged man to that of an old man with a stooped body.
That yellow robe faded and turned white.
At this time, the twilight qi in Yang Lao’s body had reached a shocking level, as if the rolling yellow river was constantly roaring.
Even just taking a hit would cause a person’s lifespan to come to an end.
This ancient emperor, at this moment, was just like an ordinary old man, holding the pen left behind by the age-old in his hand, writing continuously on the stone tablet.
“There’s nothing to write about, it’s just a person who is lingering on, and at the end of the day, he hasn’t brought anything to the Dawn Crowd.”
Elder Yang wrote halfway, then tossed the jade pen away, a strong look of shame appearing in his eyes.
He seemed to have aged a lot again in an instant.
“I still boast of being the master of the world, and talk about being the emperor who controls the world, but in the end, I can’t even shelter my people, I can’t give them a peaceful environment, failure!”
The tablet was only half written, but Yang Lao gave up.
He sat down paralyzed while lying flat on the ground and closed his eyes.
At the corner of his eyes, there were tears sliding past.
When Zhou An saw this scene, his entire body fell into silence, not knowing what to say.
He thought that if he was in Yang Lao’s position, the regret he felt at this moment should be true.
A person who was the emperor of an entire dynasty in the ancient early years, once the master of the entire world.
A person like this, that was arrogant, and conceited.
He had great ambitions and amazing talents, but at the last moment, there was a bizarre appearance.
The appearance of the weirdness made Yang Lao’s heart pine away, and emperors like this kind of emperor of the entire world in the ancient times, watching their people displaced and suffering, in the end, they could only improve by lingering on but could not be cured at the root.
That kind of powerlessness, extremely oppressive.
In front of his eyes, the picture flowed again, the twilight of Yang Lao’s body, with the passage of time, is gradually deepening.
Although the years could not leave traces on his body, it was like an invisible knife, constantly digging into his inner flesh.
Next, an extremely horrifying scene appeared, unfolding in front of Zhou An’s eyes, causing Zhou An to stare in disbelief.
On Yang Lao’s body, half of the flesh and blood was gradually wearing away.
It was as if there were endless bugs that were constantly gnawing.
His blood and flesh, after that half of the blood and flesh disappeared, there was only a piece of withered bone left on Yang Lao’s body.
The other half of the blood and flesh, was also gradually disappearing.
Zhou An had thought that Yang Lao would turn into a sentence of bones, but the next scene surprised him.
In front of him, the half of the corpse bone was emitting not a unique human aura, but a bizarre aura.
When the bizarre aura appeared, it immediately caused a reaction from the surroundings.
At this time, Old Man Yang, who had been letting Zhou An watch silently, said something as if it was an evaluation of the second half of his life.
“It’s strange, isn’t it, why did I transform into weirdness? I have grievances, I have heavenly grievances!”
“My resentment is that I didn’t resolve the weirdness before I died, this kind of resentment, surprisingly, even in the cemetery, I couldn’t suppress it.”
Zhou An nodded.
It would be a lie if it could be subdued.
For a big shot like this who was detached from the chiefs of the four major sects, these places were really not necessarily subdued.
However, he did not say anything, but continued to watch.
Subsequently, when a bizarre aura appeared on Yang Lao’s body, that one bas-relief and one lapis lazuli plate suddenly emerged with a powerful sense of oppression.
After the sense of oppression appeared, it continued to coalesce on Yang Lao’s half skeleton.
This was the power of the reliefs, the residual power of the remaining sages, when they converged together, even the Guile Gathering looked away to a degree.
“It should be effective.” Zhou Xin thought to himself.
When the power came on top of the half skeleton, it immediately suppressed the bizarre aura, and the flesh and blood came back, covering the half skeleton entirely.
However, Zhou An Xin keenly sensed that this was not the case.
“This is replenishing the flesh and blood, but the bizarre root, has not changed.” Zhou An frowned.
As he thought, after the blood and flesh were replenished, Yang Lao, who had originally closed his eyes, violently opened them.
Immediately afterward, he sat up and looked at his right hand that should have been a white bone.
Even this once ancient and early emperor could not hide the shock in his eyes.
“I’ve become half creepy, half human?”
By this point, the illusion ended and everything disappeared.
Zhou An looked at Yang Lao with complicated eyes.
“Because of being half-human and half-creepy, it has instead allowed longevity to be extended.”
This was his guess, after all, it was truly a miracle that Yang Lao had survived from that ancient era to the present day.
Yang Lao did not refute this guess, and even nodded his head affirmatively.
“You guessed right, but since then, I can’t leave this kind of place, look around, they locked up the one-armed old man that I met at the very beginning, they locked up the green clothes, and likewise they locked up me.”
“For me, such is a living prison, a prison coalesced by countless sages, coalesced by those old comrades of mine.”
“If I go out, the other half of my body, will be completely transformed into weirdness, and from then on, it is likely that a casual glance from me will be the death of countless living beings.”
By this point, Zhou An had already understood what was going on.
Including why this emperor from the ancient and early times stayed here.
He sighed, somewhat at a loss as to how to speak.
“Kid, if there’s anything you want to say, just go ahead and say it, I can’t give you any favors, but if you want to know any secrets, I can clearly tell you.” Elder Yang said.
Zhou An raised his head, then asked, “Is it true that the weirdness cannot be eradicated? What exactly is inside the rift? What is after the crack in the crack?”
This was what he wanted to know the most, when Guile would say that she was Guile, so she couldn’t say anything in the way of the rules, but this person in front of him was a living person, a former emperor, an epic from the ancient early years.
After hearing Zhou An’s question, Elder Yang smiled and shook his head, “What your kid wants to know, is really quite a lot, and his ambition is not small.”
Zhou An replied, “Not ambitious, just a little curious.”
What he said was the truth, he was just curious.
Elder Yang withdrew his gaze and fell into deep thought, as if he was organizing his words.
After a few moments, he slowly said.
“It’s just a guess that the source of the weirdness comes from contamination, but who is the source of the contamination? We also don’t know, as for what you said about the crack within that crack, our guess, after the crack is a contaminated world.”
A contaminated world?
Zhou An stroked his chin, feeling that it was getting more and more interesting.
He didn’t say anything, patiently waiting for Elder Yang to continue.
After just a slight pause, Elder Yang continued to speak.
“There, it is a dead silence, a world that is completely destroyed, just like the world we are in, which was once alive only, but our various practices have made our world, not like that world.”
“Do you understand when I say this?”
Zhou An nodded, indicating that he understood.
It was actually quite simple.
That place should have been a world that was already dead, with everything in it being taken over by the bizarre, unlike the world Zhou An was in nowadays, where there were still humans alive and thriving.
Zhou An thought for a moment, still pondering what there was to ask, but when he thought about it, there was nothing to ask.
This kind of situation was normal, suddenly came a big man from the ancient early years, let you ask him for secrets, for a moment you really can’t think of anything.
Yang Lao saw Zhou An’s appearance, understood, waved his hand, “In fact, those ancient early years of secrets, there is nothing to listen to, one individual has been turned into yellow earth, secrets to say, and what is the use of it, if you really want to say, you are here, I can talk to you for a countless number of years, but there is no use.”
“You guys actually now, the main thing, there is only one thing, that is through the psychic space, constantly let the rift be weakened, so as to truly alleviate the weirdness in the rift.”
“Until one day, someone appears who can completely resolve the weirdness.”
Zhou An nodded in understanding.
“Let’s go, you youngsters have your own things to do, there’s no need to continue staying here.” Elder Yang had a few moments of candor on his face.
He was very content, because after endless years of coming over, he was too lonely, and today, Zhou An accompanied him to chat for a while, allowing this loneliness to be alleviated.
He was able to stay here again for countless years.
In fact, this emperor from the ancient and early times was both a prisoner being held in this kind of cemetery and the controller of this kind of cemetery.
“Will there be a chance to meet next time?” Zhou An stood up.
He did have to go out now, all the aftermaths had been resolved, and he still had to go out to liver proficiency.
As for this place, let them sleep here for a long time.
“I’m afraid it will be difficult next time, because this cemetery is not here for long, it will keep wandering.” Yang Lao slowly said.
“After all, if you’re in one place for too long, sooner or later, there’s a risk of being exposed, so it just keeps roaming.”
“And within the psychic space, it’s the scent of the remnants of the cracks, and there’s also the presence of grievances.”
“If one stays in one place for a long time, I’m afraid that it will give birth to resentment in this place and break the balance here.”
Zhou An nodded in understanding.
Indeed, if one was in a place for a long time, there was a real possibility of this.
“Elder Yang.” Zhou An rubbed his hands together, “Is there any relics or something like that, so many experts have been sleeping for a long time, give me one or two?”
Yang Lao shook his head, “No, you think these reliefs, how did they all come about?”
The meaning of the words, this bas-relief is related to something like Sharizi.
“Before you leave, do me a favor and rearranging the formation, at least be able to make some of the little ones, who won’t step into it, suffer from these disturbances.”
“They aren’t as powerful as you, perhaps when they see these countless reliefs, their minds will become shaken from then on, and it’s possible that they’ll be overly ambitious and unable to move forward for the rest of their lives.”
Zhou An agreed.
Elder Yang remembered another thing and said, “The Formation Venerable One is real, back then, one of her men, who was also a formation master, passed by here, but unfortunately couldn’t break the formation, I had explored her past.”
Zhou An nodded his head, these things, he did not put it on his mind.
Verticality well, come and kill, it’s simple.
“You kid is strange, I explored your past and couldn’t explore it, I only know that Zong Sex has a grudge against you, or is it because I have seen Zong Sex.”
Yang Lao mused, “But I don’t care, who doesn’t have some secrets?”
Zhou An didn’t say anything, this thing, he couldn’t explain it either.
Yang Lao just sat there, placing his hands on his knees, straightening his back, not continuing further.
Zhou An silently stood up, and then, without any nonsense, began to set up the formation.
The way of arranging it was very simple, and the materials were also very simple, just utilize these stone slabs, and it wouldn’t damage its materials either.
Because these lapis lazuli plates, but even the years can not erode.
Soon, the formation was successfully set up, and it was far too superior to that broken formation, at least in Zhou An’s opinion, a person of the Passage Realm would not be able to disarm it.
“Senior, I will leave first.” Zhou An said with an arch.
Elder Yang waved his hand, indicating that he was allowed to leave.
Zhou An did not continue to stay and turned around to leave the space.
After leaving the room, the oppressive feeling had also lessened, and the surroundings were still black palaces, but Zhou An didn’t have any hesitation and was ready to turn around and leave.
But just at this time, Black Jade, who had been beside him, suddenly pulled on his hand and told him to stop.
Zhou An asked strangely, “What’s going on?”
Black Jade was half-human and half-creepy, just like Yang Lao.
But Black Jade wasn’t like Yang Lao, who would be grounded here, so at this moment, when Black Jade pulled him, he felt that he must have something to say.
As expected, after Zhou An’s eyes were invested over, Black Jade spread out her white palm.
On top of the palm, there was a black mass of air that was constantly flowing.
And inside the black air, there was a golden color that was constantly looming.
“What is this thing?” Zhou An frowned.
Black Jade quietly pointed to the room behind her and whispered, “He gave it to me, and he also gave me a word.”
Zhou An asked, “What words?”
Black Jade pointed at the mass of air and said, “He said that this is good for me.”
When Zhou An heard this, he frowned and prepared to take this mass of air from Black Jade’s hands.
But before he could receive it in his hands, from that room, Yang Lao’s voice came out.
“Don’t touch it, that’s a half-human, half-creepy air, after you touch it, it won’t do you any good.”
“Don’t worry, I don’t have any other thoughts, on this little girl, there are six incomparably powerful miscellaneous sect abilities, but wanting to fuse this is extremely difficult.”
“When she reaches the standard of fusion, this mass of air can help her to completely fuse, it is also considered a gift from this old man of mine to you, and that is all that can be done.”
Zhou An looked at this mass of air and gave a wink, meaning that he told Black Jade to put it away.
This thing could definitely play a huge role after Black Jade obtained the remaining two Eight Extreme Techniques.
However, now was not the time to use it.
By using it now, it would be able to fuse up to six, but after having eight, that would be the best time.
The Black Jade was confused, but still took the air into his palm.
Zhou An turned around once again and arched his hand at the room, “Many thanks to Elder Yang for the gift.”
After saying that, he then held Black Jade and left the black palace.
However, before leaving, he silently said something as if he was talking to himself.
“In fact, for ancient sages like you, if we don’t give gifts, we will be happy.”
After saying these words, he left the black palace and disappeared.
Inside the room, Yang Lao shook his head with a face full of relief after hearing Zhou An’s voice.
“I am the emperor of the Great Domain Dynasty, how could I not give you any benefits at all, it’s just that this is something that I’m ashamed to take out, you kid will give me a long face.”
After so many years, he called himself me for the first time, and there was no sense of rustiness.
Yang Lao looked at the surrounding lapis lazuli, lying on the ground, with his hand resting on his head, “Old friends, continue, to see this long years, when exactly will it end.”
No one around responded, but the lapis lazuli boards loomed and vibrated, as if they accompanied this ancient emperor and never faltered.
