In a short period of time, the men in these four units wouldn’t be so different from the others. However, day after day, they would definitely become much more powerful than the other units!
People were confused about the sudden change.
People in the Hall of Life and Death of the Monarch’s Hall had gotten used to cultivating faster than people in other places. Inside the headquarters of the Monarch’s Hall, it was like a paradise. Everybody was improving ten times faster than before. People were used to it, although it was actually quite shocking!
However, people in these four units became much faster than others all of a sudden. It truly confused everybody. They immediately thought of one possibility. ‘It must have something to do with the units we are in.’
However, it just didn’t make sense, so none of them really said it out…
…
In the headquarters.
Chihuo opened his eyes. His old face looked helpless.
He was at the top of the Immortality Stage, and he wanted to reach the Undead Stage… He thought that his mind state was perfect for the next level, so he thought he only needed to accumulate enough energy. Cultivating in the Hall of Life and Death was the fastest way… After all, the energy was so rich in this place. It was much better than any other places he had even been in his life…
However, after cultivating for a few days, he had a new opinion. The energy here was not enough for him!
There was so much energy in the Hall of Life and Death, but he had consumed too much life energy in his life. If he had enough life energy himself, it would take him only less than three years to reach the upper stage.
However, he had to fix his own problem on the life energy first. Otherwise, he was never going to have any breakthrough.
The Hall of Life and Death had provided so much life energy, but he needed time to absorb the energy. He only had three years left, and that was not enough.
Even if he could gather enough life energy in the next three years, he would have the chance to reach the next stage by luck at the end of his three years!
He couldn’t count on luck. Everybody needed good luck, but nobody should count on good luck! Who would let one’s luck decide life and death?
The pressure was killing Chihuo!
He looked pretty upset.
He thought he was lucky enough to meet Ye Xiao, and he was going to survive. However, after what he had done, he was going to die anyway!
‘Am I destined to die soon?’
‘No! Not yet!’ Chihuo took a deep breath and lowered his head.
It suddenly made Chihuo lose hope. He didn’t want to give up, but he really couldn’t see any hope!
As he raised up his head, his face seemed to look hundreds of years older.
When a man’s heart died, the weakness in him would grow. Chihuo knew it was wrong, but he couldn’t resist it!
“Fine… I guess this is my fate…” Chihuo bitterly smiled and said, “Monarch Ye trusts me… If I die, I fail him… I thought men could defeat fate, but we can’t… This is my fate… What can I say? In the last three years, I should do as much for Lord Monarch as possible…”
“Ah…” He breathed a long sigh.
“When the day comes, I should run the scattering technique to give every bit of my energy back to the Hall of Life and Death… That is the only heritage I can leave for the world…” Chihuo kept murmuring, and he became more and more hopeless as he said more…
Suddenly, something happened…
In the headquarters of the Hall of Life and Death, there was some special flow of wind…
Chihuo was being emotional at the moment, so he didn’t notice it. When he was breezed by the cold wind and returned sober, he was shocked. “Where does this wind coming from? This is inside the Hall of Life and Death…”
He stood up to check it.
In the middle of the Hall of Life and Death, there was a thin cloud of purple qi…
“That’s pure life qi! How come there is a cloud of such dense life qi?”
Chihuo’s eyes were widely open. He was hopeful again.
Pure life qi wasn’t anything rare in the Hall of Life and Death, but the life qi in this place was never this rich! This pure life qi was rich and also in the most valuable color—purple!
“No way…”
Chihuo was shaking. He couldn’t believe what his own eyes were seeing. He even thought that it might just be an illusion, so he kept blinking. The original purple qi in the Hall of Life and Death was already rare and precious in the world, but it was obviously not as good as this. The purple life qi he was staring at right now was extremely rare even in the Human Realm Upon Heavens!
Chihuo immediately raised his spiritual qi up.
He wanted to try. He hoped that this would solve his problem!
Afterward…
“Phew!”
The pure life qi in the middle of the Hall of Life and Death seemed to get a loose hole. It kept rushing to Chihuo crazily. Chihuo’s entire body was immersed in the powerful life qi…
Chihuo didn’t expect it at all, and soon, he was lost in it…
After a long time…
Chihuo woke up from his deep meditation. He hurriedly checked his status and suddenly, he cried in joyful tears.
The prospect hit him unexpectedly when he was in despair. It was so unexpected, so he didn’t know what to do. Happiness came to him in such a big surprise!
The pure life qi was still coming up. Chihuo couldn’t stop the warm tears running out of his eyes. He breathed a long sigh and shouted loudly.
“I got a prospect! I got hope! Finally!”
Tears filled his eyes.
