Chapter 837: Ten-Thousand-Year Monster? (Third Update)
Fang Yu forcibly stopped the attack of the Nine-character Mantra Sword Seal.
The backlash from this powerful energy was extremely vicious.
Boom!
Fang Yu supported the ground with one palm, his energy and blood surged, his throat tasted sweet, almost spitting out blood, but he forcibly held it back.
A long time passed.
The dust and dirt all over the sky gradually disappeared, returning to tranquility.
The shadowy figure stood safely ahead, full of surprise.
However...
As night fell, the light dimmed, and with the black veil, it was indeed hard to see the features, even the eyes were unclear.
But Fang Yu still slapped the ground.
He stood up straight, full of excitement, his eyes shining brightly—
"Mom? Is it really you? Mom... how did your figure become so bloated? Even your height has shrunk... Also, why is your voice so unpleasant, did you eat something wrong? Mom... I knew you would come looking for me! You really came! Haha... Mom..."
Fang Yu took a swift step forward.
Although the words were rough and somewhat flippant, they were spoken with sincere eyes.
In his youthful days, he would converse with his mother in this tone.
He was afraid Dan Rou had forgotten how he looked then.
"Mom... why aren't you speaking... oh, the things you left for me, I've seen them, come, let's hug!"
On the surface casual and laid-back, but he was already bursting with excitement.
Fang Yu wholeheartedly believed that the mysterious figure before him was his mother, Dan Rou.
"I really didn't expect it, Mom, you're actually an Infinite Level expert! I knew it... but also, the Mandala you left for me is so mysterious, Infinite Level is just too normal after all."
Just after saying this.
A gulping sound came from the shadowy figure opposite.
It was a sign of lingering fear.
"Stop..."
The voice was still hoarse.
"Hmm?" Fang Yu looked at this person in bewilderment.
"I'm not your mother."
The shadow raised a hand, making a pause gesture, "I'm a friend of your mother..."
Upon hearing this.
Fang Yu was stunned.
Still showing a puzzled and confused expression.
The shadow said: "Think about it, my cultivation is Infinite Level, if I were your mother, back at the Lu Family, would I have watched your father suffer and die? In front of Infinite Saint level, what is Lu Tianyuan, Lu Youchao, Lu Youxun... they're not even ants."
This speech left Fang Yu speechless.
Back in the Lu Family days, their family of three was constantly ostracized, constantly mocked and scorned.
He himself was bullied for not being able to step onto the Martial Arts path.
If mom really was an Infinite Level cultivator, a casual finger movement would have been enough to deal with them.
After a long thought.
Fang Yu finally showed a look of disappointment, and said: "Were you sent by my mom? To help me?"
"Yes."
"Then why did you attack me?"
"To test your strength."
"Test me? Are you satisfied now?" Fang Yu said with a roll of his eyes.
"Beyond my expectations... but do not be conceited. Your power and cultivation should be around the middle stage of Infinite! Earlier when fighting you, I was somewhat careless and underestimated you, in a real battlefield, how could I possibly give you the chance to gather strength to unleash those Nine-character True Words?" The shadow said calmly.
Fang Yu nodded.
He was not lying.
"How about another round?"
"Forget it!" The shadow shook its head.
"Tell me, where is my mom now?" Fang Yu asked.
"Your mother Dan Rou is now in a safe place, you need not worry. Anyway, you will meet eventually. Before that, you must improve your cultivation properly, without sufficient strength, even meeting your mother would be in vain." The shadow said.
"What's going on here exactly?" Fang Yu asked.
"I can't tell you much, lest you impulsively seek out your mother. I can only tell you, your strength is still far from enough." The shadow said.
"Then why did you come?" Fang Yu asked puzzled.
"I came... you should thank me! Your mother entrusted me long ago before I came! She worries about your safety, after all, the current world lacks spiritual energy. According to her, you might as well live an ordinary life. But unexpectedly, you triggered the Mandala petals. Your mother felt it, so begged me several times to observe you secretly!" The shadow said.
"Observe me secretly?" Fang Yu was surprised.
"Of course... otherwise, do you think all those times you escaped danger were just random luck?" The shadow said.
Fang Yu recalled.
Especially the recent Ye Cheng team from the True Phoenix Clan, and various inconceivable events.
Sometimes he also sensed danger around, but could not find it or see it.
This feeling became more apparent as his strength increased.
Only...
He didn't expect it was because an Infinite Level expert was secretly protecting him.
The shadow said softly: "I didn't expect you to reach Infinite Level in such a short time... this means I might not be able to continue hiding beside you, you will also easily sense my presence. So... I chose to reveal myself at the most appropriate time."
"I understand... so you eliminated those people in Ye Cheng." Fang Yu said.
The shadow nodded and said: "The Mandala your mother left you... is a thought for you. Honestly... I came today to tell you that future matters... are up to you."
"Hmm?" Fang Yu looked at the shadow with doubt.
"With your current strength, you can barely protect yourself. What surprised me is, you can even set up this Cloud Mountain Formation. I think if your mother saw it, she would be very happy." The shadow said, "Additionally, I must warn you, Secret Realms should not be entered lightly. You stayed one thousand and six hundred years last time, I was guarding the exit for seven days... fortunately, you were lucky, only one thousand and six hundred years... otherwise, no one could protect you."
"Hey hey hey... from your tone, you sound dissatisfied? What do you mean by luck? Wasn't it because my strength was good?" Fang Yu said with a roll of his eyes.
The shadow gave a light smile and said: "I say it's luck, and you disagree? You only know a Secret Realm can evolve upon completion, but do you know, to what extent it can evolve, thankfully it was only one thousand and six hundred years, what if it were sixteen thousand years? Or, one billion six hundred thousand years?"
Fang Yu: "..."
Completely speechless.
This point, Fang Yu really hadn't considered at all.
One billion six hundred thousand years...
"How... is that possible?" Fang Yu's eyes widened.
"Using your own words to respond... in the Great Thousand World, nothing is impossible!" The shadow said with a smile, "In the future, you will encounter many who appear thirty or fifty years old, but might have lived for a thousand, ten thousand years as old monsters! Just ponder, what kind of cultivator would be at ten thousand years?"
Fang Yu: "..."
