Chapter 374: A Man Walks the Four Directions; Where Is Not Home

【But what I didn't expect was...】

【This rotten wooden box actually attracted Immortal Kings, and not just one, but two Immortal Kings!】

【If the Burial King of Burial Land hadn't intervened at the critical moment, the rotten wooden box would have been snatched away. However, this also made me realize that the rotten wooden box is truly precious.】

【After all, even Immortal Kings had to take action to fight for it; this is enough to prove how precious it is!】

【But what I didn't expect was...】

【As I returned to the Emperor City with the rotten wooden box, the response I received was not the reward from the Supreme Beings of the Emperor Pass...】

【On the contrary, numerous powers and Supremes were aggressive, pressing me with their might, demanding to inspect that rotten wooden box. Helpless, I could only hand it over for them to examine.】

【If the Great Elder hadn't been injured and thus gone into seclusion, how would these powers and Supremes dare to act like this?】

【Even more excessive was...】

【When I cleared the crimes falsely imposed on the Shi Clan at the Emperor Pass through my war merits, facing the Immortal Kings attacking the pass, Jin Taijun of the Jin Family actually wanted to hand me over.】

【And all of this was simply because the Foreign Realm was willing to swear an oath not to attack the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands for five hundred years!】

【The most crucial point was...】

【Facing Jin Taijun's proposal, numerous powers and Supremes at the Borderland Emperor Pass fell silent; they were undoubtedly tempted, wanting to hand me over to exchange for peace.】

【They even shamelessly said that if it were their own descendants who could be exchanged for peace...】

【They would do the same!】

【Heh heh...】

【How ridiculous!】

【At this moment, I was undoubtedly chilled to the core.】

【But for the sake of all living beings, I decided to hand myself over, thereby exchanging for five hundred years of peace for the Nine Heavens!】

【And this decision undoubtedly made many geniuses who associated with me feel it was unworthy; the Ten-Crowned King, the Banished Immortal, and others stepped forward one by one, even my cousin Shi Yi】

【stepped forward at this moment, feeling it was unworthy for me, stating plainly that the Nine Heavens were not worth me doing this.】

【I knew these people were not worth it...】

【But what about all living beings? My friends, my relatives—they are all in the Nine Heavens, and I want to protect them.】

【A man walks in all directions; where is not home?】

【Where one dies, there one is buried...】

【All green mountains under heaven are the same!】

【After leaving these words, I left all my treasures to old friends, even giving some to Shi Yi.】

【In addition, I set up various taboo secret techniques; I did not hope that the precious techniques I mastered would be obtained by the Foreign Realm. And seemingly feeling some guilt towards me, many at the Emperor Pass acted to set up the strongest God-Sealing Art for me!】

【Once someone probes my sea of consciousness, I will destroy myself, not allowing the enemy to obtain even the slightest thing.】

【Finally, I set off alone...】

【From then on, I was all alone, stepping alone into the Foreign Realm where death was certain and life impossible; no one knew what awaited me next, not even myself.】

【But I secretly swore in my heart: if I could survive, if I could reach the supreme peak realm...】

【When I return...】

【I will make those who betrayed me pay the price, and I will no longer protect this world; the only thing I can do is create my own forbidden zone to protect my friends and family.】

【However, just as I was swearing in my heart, the Great Elder arrived; he came charging with a single person and a single sword!】

【Ignoring his own injuries, he rushed straight into the ranks of numerous experts of the Foreign Realm, striking the Supremes of the Foreign Realm single-handedly, and even capturing alive a Supreme of the Imperial Clan of the Foreign Realm.】

【He wanted to rescue me and take me back; he intended to use the Supreme of the Imperial Clan of the Foreign Realm to exchange me back from the hands of the Foreign Realm!】

【It's just that the Foreign Realm would not agree...】

【Because in their eyes, I am more important than the Emperor Supreme or the Supremes; they even promised me that if I was willing to join the Foreign Realm, they would let me establish my own Imperial Clan.】

【But undoubtedly, the Great Elder's actions moved me deeply, because apart from Dark Liu Shen...】

【The Great Elder was the only one who treated me so well.】

【Therefore...】

【I decided to break my vow...】

【If I grow up, even if it is for the sake of the Great Elder, I must protect these Nine Heavens for him!】

At this moment, the bullet comments boiled over:

"Hiss, isn't that Duan De? That is Cao Yusheng from the Perfect Great World; he actually crossed the ages of eternity and had a conversation with Emperor Huang Tian?!"

"Good heavens, Duan De in later generations has always been digging graves, excavating those so-called Emperor Tombs, not simply for treasures, but because of an instinctive obsession!"

"Wuwu, I'm crying to death; he thought Shi Hao was dead and wanted to dig Shi Hao out; this is a true brother!"

"In the future, everyone perished; the Yin Moon Rabbit, was she the girl Cao Yusheng liked? This life is too bitter, too hard, filled with blood and chaos!"

"The Careful Hall? No wonder, no wonder Emperor Huang Tian was always wary of the beings in that temple, namely the Primordial Spirit of the Corpse Immortal Emperor; it turns out Cao Yusheng warned him to be careful of the Hall!"

"And that part of the pure Primordial Spirit once took possession of the Reception Ancient Hall, which is why Shi Hao did not trust it!"

"Six, we just finished talking about the pure Primordial Spirit of the Corpse Immortal Emperor, and the rotten wooden box appeared; to be honest, if I didn't know the future, I really couldn't believe it..."

"Such an ordinary rotten wooden box, hiding within it the pure Primordial Spirit of a Path-Ending Immortal Emperor!"

"Tsk, it's An Lan and Yu Tuo, those two unlucky guys; this Foreign Realm is really something; to fight for this rotten wooden box, they actually managed to offend Emperor Huang Tian to death!"
