Chapter 577 The Remnant Soul from Ten Thousand Years Ago
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, on successfully escaping the City of Resentment and awakening Ke Yuanzhou.]
Ye Kang breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, it was me who came in. If it had been someone else, they would probably have been trapped in the City of Resentment forever.
He returned the greeting to Ke Yuanzhou.
"Senior Ke, congratulations on your awakening."
Ke Yuanzhou gave a wry smile, then turned his head to look to his side.
My senior sister was still standing there, but her eyes were devoid of any life, like a statue.
Ke Yuanzhou trembled as he reached out his right hand, tears welling in his eyes, wanting to touch his senior sister's face, but at the last moment he froze in mid-air, not daring to move forward.
He covered his face, tears streaming down his face.
"What's the use of waking up? My senior sister has been dead for 100,000 years. I can't change that. The only thing I can do is to leave a trace of her soul in the City of Resentment forever."
Ke Yuanzhou was lost in memories.
"When I witnessed my senior sister's death, my heart was filled with despair. I felt as if I were pierced by a thousand swords. In my final moments, my resentment erupted, devouring many people, but also unintentionally creating an obsession."
"That obsession drew a wisp of my senior sister's scattered soul, trapping her forever within the City of Resentment. I know my senior sister doesn't care, but how could I be so selfish..."
Ke Yuanzhou knelt down, trembling, his eyes filled with remorse.
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang suddenly realized what was happening.
No wonder that woman took the initiative to talk to him and could recognize Biluo Dao at a glance.
So it turns out she's different from everyone else in the City of Resentment.
Ke Yuanzhou looked up, stared at his senior sister, and finally let out a long sigh.
The senior sister turned into snowflakes and gradually disappeared.
A wisp of soul from 100,000 years ago has finally returned to the world.
Ye Kang asked with some doubt, "Senior, don't you plan to revive her?"
Ke Yuanzhou shook his head: "It's no use. Ten thousand years is too long. Even a Martial Immortal is powerless against a trace of unconscious remnant will."
"Senior is a martial immortal?"
"Ha, if I were a Martial Immortal, how could the Holy Sect have been reduced to dust?"
Ke Yuanzhou stood up, and the surrounding wind and snow stopped for a moment.
He seemed to have suddenly become a different person, a hint of arrogance appearing on his face.
"I am Ke Yuanzhou, son of the head of the fifth lineage of the Luofu Holy Sect. Who are you?"
"Ye Kang".
Their eyes clashed, and Ye Kang was already sweating profusely.
He was too powerful. Even as just a wisp of a remnant soul, he couldn't withstand his overwhelming aura.
Ke Yuanzhou nodded and said, "Ten thousand years is really too long. It's so long that I don't even recognize it anymore. Ye Kang, your sword has the aura of the Yin Saint Demon Lord."
"It is the sword left behind by the Demon Lord."
"You inherited his legacy?"
Ye Kang shook his head: "I wouldn't call it an inheritance; I just happened to enter one of the Demon Lord's caves."
Ke Yuanzhou pondered for a moment and then smiled, “This sword is indeed excellent, but it was probably used by the Demon Lord before he became famous. The fact that you obtained it means that you and he are destined to meet.”
"Senior, I awakened you, doesn't that mean we are also destined to meet?"
Ke Yuanzhou chuckled as he watched Ye Kang blink his big eyes.
Why is this guy being so sarcastic?
That's right, Ye Kang was making a lot of suggestive remarks.
Since we're so lucky to have met, you should at least give me something, right?
There are also rewards for clearing the City of Grudges, so why don't you give them to us!
Ke Yuanzhou turned around with his hands behind his back and said, "Ten thousand years have passed, and everything I have is gone. I can't give you anything. If you really want a reward, then take that sword with you. I still have some cultivation experience. If you want to ask, then come and ask me. It will also help me pass the time."
After saying that, a sword was stuck in the ground; it was the very sword that Wang Xu had pulled out.
Without the blessing of resentment, the sword was now covered in rust and had lost all its divine weapon appearance.
The jewels on the hilt of the sword were also dull and lifeless.
If it weren't for the immense resentment it exuded, this sword would have long since returned to dust, just like the fragments of other weapons in the glacier.
Ye Kang did not refuse; on the contrary, he was overjoyed.
I've always wanted to know about the Luofu Holy Sect, but the Whale Slaughtering Sect is so mysterious and doesn't want to talk about it at all. Now that there's Ke Yuanzhou, I should be able to learn more, right?
He immediately asked, "Senior, why was the Holy Sect destroyed?"
Ke Yuanzhou shook his head: "Don't bring up the past, or you'll die even faster."
"Did the senior secretly acquire some treasure and hide it in some secluded place?"
"Do I, the son of the head of the Fifth Clan, need to act like this?"
"Does the senior possess any supreme martial arts techniques or skills?"
"Yes, but you can't learn it. You don't have the support of the Luofu Holy Sect's techniques, and I was born at the Nascent Soul Realm. I've never been at your level, so there are no martial arts suitable for you."
"I'm sorry..."
Ye Kang couldn't help but curse in his mind.
This won't work, that's not available—isn't that basically useless?
And is it really necessary to casually mention your talent?
You were born at the Nascent Soul stage? Why don't you just go to heaven?!
Is that something a human would say?!
Ye Kang was speechless.
Here, the realm that everyone strives for their entire lives is something that these people are born with.
Seeing Ye Kang's expression, Ke Yuanzhou smiled wryly and said, "There's no need to belittle yourself. It's just that my parents are not ordinary people. I started cultivating while I was still in my mother's womb, which is why I have a higher starting point than others."
"Just some?"
"of course."
"..."
Ye Kang was speechless. "Is this even human language?"
He forcibly suppressed the urge to complain and asked, "Senior, may I ask you a question? What exactly was the realm ten thousand years ago?"
He was very curious about what kind of realm could possess such power solely from the resentment of the dead.
However, Ke Yuanzhou still shook his head.
"Telling you is useless; it's too far removed from your reality. I learned some things from that guy's memories. You haven't even seen the true Nine Provinces yet, have you?"
"Kyushu?"
"Indeed, the real world outside is called the Nine Provinces Realm. Each realm is more powerful than you can imagine. The Luofu Holy Sect is located in the most powerful Qing Province, but now, Qing Province is probably already in pieces."
Ke Yuanzhou revealed a hint of nostalgia, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
Although his face looked old, Ye Kang could still imagine how spirited he must have been 100,000 years ago.
"What about the other nine provinces?"
"Let you explore slowly. Since you have the ability to pull me back from the City of Resentment, I believe you have the ability to break out. Telling you more now will only add to your troubles."
Ye Kang nodded and said, "One last question, senior, do you know Lord Tu Jing?"
Ke Yuanzhou paused for a moment, as if recalling something.
Who is this again?
Does the Luofu Holy Sect have such a ruler?
Ye Kang added, "They should be in charge of whaling..."
"Oh, it turns out it's him."
Ke Yuanzhou nodded.
"Do you know him, senior?"
"do not know."
Then what are you talking about?!
Ke Yuanzhou scratched his nose, embarrassed, and said, "When the sect held grand events in the past, there seemed to be someone in charge of delivering ingredients, but I've never paid attention to their name..."
