Tears fell in large drops. I hugged her and cried heartily.
Mu Chen’s cultivation was so high that even without the help of the peony flower, he could live for a long time. But my cultivation was too weak, and the resentful spirit was too powerful. If I persisted, I might only have three to five years left.
As I was crying, a divine soldier ran over: “Reporting to the Great Sacrificial Priest, someone from the ghost realm has come to seek the Rebirth God Lord.”
Hearing that someone was coming to seek, not to attack, I felt relieved. The only person who would come to the divine realm to find me and alarm the divine soldiers must be Qing Yuan.
I ran to the entrance of the Heavenly Path, and indeed, a chill swept over. Seeing him, I felt an immediate sense of familiarity, squinting and smiling: “Greetings, Great Sacrificial Priest Qing Yuan.” Seeing him slightly twitch, I chuckled, “Is Mu Chen looking for me?”
“No.”
I wilted, asking unwillingly: “Then why are you here?”
“To find another person,” he glanced at me, “The ghost realm has been searched thoroughly, finding no one with knowledge. So the King has decided to take another path.”
“What path?”
“Return to five thousand years ago and find the truth himself.”
I widened my eyes: “Are you looking for the Traversal Lord?” Seeing him nod, I said, “The divine and ghost realms are not connected. The God Lord cannot open the ghost realm’s time tunnel.”
“
“Since the King says so, he naturally has his own thoughts.”
I helplessly said: “Alright, I’ll go find the Traversal Lord.”
I thought the Traversal Lord would not be close to the ghost realm, but unexpectedly, he agreed.
Arriving at the ghost realm, Qing Yuan led us forward. I felt uneasy, having been tricked by him several times before, and could no longer fully trust him. Especially as the atmosphere became increasingly gloomy.
“Where are we going?”
“Bone River.”
I paused: “Why go there?”
The Traversal Lord pondered: “Is a trigger needed?”
Qing Yuan said: “Yes. The ghost realm is not like the mortal world and cannot be changed easily. To return to the past, a connecting object is necessary.”
“Then I’m afraid only those with such a connection can go back.”
“Indeed.”
