The current Wuya Immortal Orchid was undoubtedly more intelligent than when he first brought it in. Not only was his body radiating light, he could even feel Qin Shaojie's aura revolving around him. It was obvious that he still remembered Qin Shaojie's aura!
If not for Qin Shaojie bringing the Boundless Fairy Orchid out of the depths of Kanas Volcano, this fellow would probably already be in the hands of the three great sects. If that was the case, his fate would not have been like this, since not only was he relatively free in this place, but the key issue was that he had the care of Patriarch Subhuti, allowing him to gain a bit of intelligence.
Previously, Patriarch Subhuti had said that if this Boundless Immortal Orchid was properly nurtured, it would definitely be able to cause him to transform into a spiritual being, becoming an extremely unique spiritual being just like how he had been in the past. After one year, Patriarch Subhuti seemed to have truly spent quite a bit of time and effort on this Boundless Immortal Orchid.
Perhaps in another hundred years, the spirits of this Boundless Immortal Orchid and the Sunburn Tree will be born. At that time, even if they manage to obtain my inheritance, it might not be certain.
No matter how many talented experts and treasures he had seen in the Nine Peaks Tower, only the Boundless Immortal Orchid and the Sunburn Tree were able to arouse his interest. To a certain extent, the Sunburn Tree and the Boundless Immortal Orchid could be considered as from the same sect, and he could be considered to be from the same sect.
These seemingly unintentional words of Patriarch Subhuti caused Qin Shaojie to set his gaze on Patriarch Subhuti once again. This was because he could vaguely sense some differences from these words. After all, if this matter involved the inheritance, then things would definitely not be simple. It was not because Qin Shaojie coveted Patriarch Subhuti's inheritance nor was it because of Qin Shaojie's selfishness. On the contrary, he was feeling a little more worried. One must know that back then, Patriarch Subhuti had only chosen to stay in the Nine Peaks Tower to repay his favor. Although he had not truly shown himself these years, his existence had allowed many of the experts in the Nine Peaks Tower to achieve breakthroughs, and even raised the level of their martial arts. This was an opportunity that they would never be able to obtain in their lives.
If Patriarch Subhuti wanted to leave, although Qin Shaojie was rather reluctant, he would definitely respect Patriarch Subhuti's wishes.
Only, right now, Patriarch Subhuti's words were quite profound.
I am not immortal, or even if I were to reach the Supreme Realm, I might not be able to live forever. After living for so many years, I am finally satisfied. Patriarch Subhuti turned and walked slowly in the ancient forest, while Qin Shaojie hurriedly followed. He knew that Patriarch Subhuti had something to say, but when he heard these words, his heart suddenly trembled!
No one knew how long Patriarch Subhuti had survived for, not even where he had come from. However, everyone knew that Patriarch Subhuti was an indestructible existence, and it seemed that he had some sort of close relationship with this world. Thus, his status was quite high. Even before this, Qin Shaojie had never considered this question, because he knew that none of this was important.
But just as Patriarch Subhuti finished speaking, his footsteps came to a halt.
Being born old and dying from sickness was something that no one could shake off. Even a planet has a day when it dissolves, so some things can only be unchangeable if you don't want to admit it. Patriarch Subhuti's voice was very calm. It was as though he were talking about something extremely insignificant. He had long since stopped caring about life and death. He even wanted to know what kind of feeling and existence death was.
He was known in the world as the Tree of the Wise, but he knew that he wasn't the only one who knew. There were some things that even he didn't know. However, that was not important because he clearly knew that his words were not made out of impulse, but because he felt it.
I think there must be a way. If there's anything you need, feel free to tell me. These were not mere pleasantries, nor were they simply fawning on Patriarch Subhuti. Rather, it was because he had long ago treated Patriarch Subhuti as his own master, and more importantly, because he knew that Patriarch Subhuti was an extremely special existence that existed above all of the Tian Yuan Continent. Whether it was the human race or the Hundred Races, his survival was of the utmost importance.
It's not necessary. Besides, if I were to care about life and death, I wouldn't have such a long life. Looking at Qin Shaojie, Patriarch Subhuti had a trace of a smile on his face. In his entire life, he had met too many talented people, but very few people had truly gained Patriarch Subhuti's recognition. Qin Shaojie was clearly one of them.
But don't worry, I won't die so easily before my mission is truly completed.
Seemingly having thought of something, Elder Subhuti continued to laugh as he spoke. His words also caused Qin Shaojie to slightly raise his head, and traces of ripples appeared in his eyes. Just how smart was he, and how could he not know that there was a deep meaning behind these words?
He knew very well that if Patriarch Subhuti was able to tell him, he wouldn't even need to ask him. If Patriarch Subhuti wasn't able to tell him, then there was no point in asking. He didn't know what sort of mission Patriarch Subhuti had. In the past, he might not have been able to understand it. However, at this moment, he was able to understand it somewhat.
Just like how unintentionally had a mission, it was to help him hide the entire Tian Yuan Continent. The Mandate of Heaven and Earth had its own mission, and that was to find a person who could gain the approval of the heart of the continent. Patriarch Subhuti was an extremely special existence as well. If that was the case, then everything else was just the scenery before the completion of this mission.
This junior still said the same words just now. If there is any need, I will die for sure!
Qin Shaojie was not the type of person to be long-winded. Since the words of Patriarch Subhuti were already like that, he too, directly said so. However, what Qin Shaojie did not notice was that right now, Patriarch Subhuti was looking at Qin Shaojie with a meaningful look in his eyes!
You did not really suppress the Golden Crow Sword, right? Or perhaps you chose a different method. After looking at Qin Shaojie for a while, Patriarch Subhuti frowned slightly as well.
He was naturally able to easily perceive that after Qin Shaojie's entire strength had disappeared for a year, his cultivation had increased by quite a bit. Third-rank Saints's strength was considered extremely powerful compared to the entire Tian Yuan Continent, and the most crucial point was that his body contained an extremely tyrannical aura!
Although this aura was Qin Shaojie's aura, he knew that this aura had undergone a huge change from before! It contained a powerful bloodline pressure and a fearsome destructive power.
Although Qin Shaojie had perfectly suppressed this kind of aura and ordinary people were simply unable to sense it, he was abnormally clear that the suppression of this aura would not be able to completely deceive Patriarch Subhuti!
Yes, something unexpected had happened midway, so this suppression wasn't really what the forefather had imagined. Qin Shaojie did not hide anything from him.
The bloodline pressure that was harnessing in his body was because of the refinement of the blood essence of the dragon race's supreme expert. If could not control his aura, it would be difficult for the hundred clans to raise their heads in front of him. As for the destructive force, Qin Shaojie was very clear that it was due to the Golden Crow Sword in his body. Even though the two of them were fused together, he knew very well that he had not truly obtained the Golden Crow Sword. This was only the first step of the journey.
If it was only to suppress the Golden Crow Sword, with the cooperation of the will of heaven and earth, it would not be a difficult task. However, he still chose the second choice.
He still wanted to live, but Qin Shaojie knew that there were some things that were more important to him than his own life. He did not know if he made the right choice, but he knew clearly that if he did not make this choice, then he might end up living under pain and self-blame for his entire life. If that was the case, then this kind of thing in Qin Shaojie's eyes, was not really a troublesome choice. Because he knew his own personality too well, and he also knew what he was after in this lifetime.
You have a lot of guts. After hearing about Qin Shaojie's matter on the island of death, even Patriarch Subhuti's eyes flickered slightly. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated, and in the end, he only managed to say one sentence. He had to admit that this choice was too crazy, and was even difficult to imagine. This was because even the great demon king had not made such a choice.
That's right, it's just that right now, it doesn't seem like there's any point in regretting it. His face broke into a smile, and Qin Shaojie joked.
Five years wasn't a short amount of time, but it definitely wasn't a long period of time. Moreover, five years was the longest period of time the Golden Crow's curse could be suppressed. If it wasn't because of the will of heaven and earth, he might have had three years to live.
Therefore, for the next five years, Qin Shaojie was extremely important to him. He had to finish what he needed to do as soon as possible, so that he could face the consequences, regardless of whether he was dead or alive! This was also the reason why, when he heard that the three doors were ready to move, he did not have the slightest hesitation.
He knew that it was impossible to drag on any longer with the three sects. Since it was impossible to do so, there was not much difference between coming a day earlier and coming a day later.
Seeing Qin Shaojie's actions, Patriarch Subhuti smiled slightly.
You are a confident person, did you not think that you could endure for five years? At this moment, the surprised and anxious expression on Patriarch Subhuti's face gradually calmed down. This was also the reason why he was curious about Qin Shaojie, since he knew that Qin Shaojie was not a person who could lower his head along the way.
I don't believe in fate, but neither am I blind with self-confidence. Regarding what Patriarch Subhuti had said, Qin Shaojie just smiled calmly.
If it was any other time, he would have definitely broken free from the fate of being bound to him. However, this time, he did not do so. Or perhaps, this thought could not be considered as strong.
Because he knew very well that this Golden Crow Sword was simply too powerful. Let alone himself, even the Venerable One would be terrified of it. Moreover, to become a Supreme Realm cultivator in five years, even if it was a dream, he wouldn't dare to do so.
He didn't want to waste too much time thinking about these things.
Rather than asking for it, he might as well ask himself to do something he could do!
If that was the case, he wouldn't waste his time.
This world was very wonderful.
Forefather Subhuti nodded slightly in response to Qin Shaojie's words. However, no one knew what he was thinking!
