1000 Experint
Ye Lao walked into a dark and damp room. He saw his other disciple, Lan Ling, waiting at the entrance of one of the rooms. "How is he?" he asked, his steps becoming more brisk as he rushed over.
"He's getting worse," she said, not hiding the worry in her eyes. "He's been in there for over a week and refused to see ."
Ye Lao frowned as he noticed his apprentice's downward spiral ever since the Heavenly Emperor proved the Dao and crowned himself. Ever since that day, he beca more reclusive, stopped paying attention to the sect's affairs, and only focused on refining pills.
At first, Ye Lao did not pay much attention to this behavior since he knew Lou Cheng's goal. He believed it may not be a bad idea to give a hundred percent of his focus on that pill.
However, as ti passed, as the latter received more news from the outside, his situation worsened at a speed observable to the naked eye.
Then, things take a turn for the worse after hearing about Yan Liling's creation of the Immortal Rune System.
"It was a bad idea to tell him the news," sighed Ye Lao, full of guilt and sadness. They had noticed Lou Cheng was very sensitive to any news related to the Heavenly Emperor. As such, they hesitated on whether to tell him the latest news.
However, Ye Lao was worried about Fu Caiyun and wanted his disciple to use his talent and quickly suppress the latter's resurrection of power. Sadly, his ambitions aggravated his disciple's situation.
Ye Lao took a deep breath before walking into the room. He could not describe the emotions that blasted into his soul as he saw Lou Cheng's state.
The young man was now extrely thin, with disheveled hair and burned clothes.
His eyes were bloodshed, and he kept pulling his hair full of white streaks. Ye Lao knew that a cultivator's appearance sotis relates to their state of mind. So people age instantly after experiencing a terrible event, even when they have millions of years of lifespan.
'Not good. His Dao Heart is almost non-existent, reaching the point he's going mad,' thought Ye Lao as he rushed over. He forced a few pills down Lou Cheng's throat, but the latter only kept repeating the phrase: "Why ?"-- like he was a broken record.
Ye Lao held his most proud disciple in his arm, and his heart ached as he saw how unresponsive the latter was. He shook Lou Cheng, hoping his mindless action could return so sense to the young man. Alas, his effort was futile.
"It's my fault," Ye Lao muttered; his ambition and desire for power pushed his disciple over the edge.
"Master, you should not bla yourself."
Ye Lao stiffly turned his head to see Lan Ling looking at them with uncontrollable tears dripping down her eyes. He secretly sighed. She placed his well-being above her even in this situation???she was such a kind soul.
Ye Lao fed Lou Cheng a potent sleeping pill before embracing Lan Ling and leaving the room.
"Master, what should we do?"
"I...I don't know," replied Ye Lao, who was, in fact, lying. In this situation, only one person could help his disciple, and that person is the cause of his downfall. However, there is also a chance that his presence would escalate the situation and make it worse. Not to ntion how he could justify asking the latter for help.
"Master...if you have a way, don't hesitate."
Ye Lao looked at her. Yes, although she was always quiet and unseen, she was also the most clever of all his disciples; it's just that her personality that hid her unique traits.
"Lang'er, you know it's not that simple."
Lan Ling sobbed even louder after hearing this. Ye Lao rushed over to reassure her, and he did not stop until more than half an hour later.
"I should keep an eye on him," muttered Lan Ling after regaining her composure."
"No need."
...
Primordial Chaos, Primordial God World:
A young man dressed in a black robe with fla patterns embroidered, long flowing black hair, perfectly chiseled jaw opened his purple eyes. His action imdiately raised the temperature of this entire normal Chaos World by a few degrees.
All the top creatures of this world imdiately knew that man had awakened for so reason, and this idea imdiately made them feel scared.
They hoped soone was not stupid enough to confront him.
"Did sothing happen?" muttered the Fla Emperor. His intuition warned him sothing detrintal to his plans and success had
happened. So, without hesitation, a gray fla composed of strings appeared in his pupil.
"Huh?" muttered the Fla Emperor as he discovered sothing.
'The danger of returning ho has reduced exponentially. Did sothing happen to these two?'
He never dared return to his ho because of the danger he always sensed. But now, his calculations tell him he won't have much issue as long as he remains low-key and hidden.
The idea of returning ho montarily enticed the Fla Emperor. However, he shook his head after a few seconds.
'There is no point in jumping into that pool of chaos when I have my own path to follow.
However, it seems that I need to contact Lou Cheng.'
He grunted as he realized the danger of his action. The lower dinsion was blocked, so contacting the latter will cost significantly. More importantly, his actions might alarm people he did not want to know of his existence.
'Is he worth it?' However, he did not think for more than ten seconds before deciding. The gray fla in his eyes danced for a mont before he took out an all-white pill and closed his eyes. The River of Ti appeared around him, and a few seconds later, the pill disappeared.
Eternal Ascension World, Lower Dinsion, Myriad Emperor World, Origin Pill Dao Sect: An illusory Fla Emperor appeared in Lou Cheng's house. He imdiately frowned after seeing the latter's state. He pointed at the sleeping Lou Cheng, awakening him from his slumber.
"It's you," yelled Lou Cheng as a manic aura encapsulated him. However, another aura soon soothed his mood, returning to a calmatmosphere.
"Have you cald down?" asked the Fla Emperor.
"Barely," gritted Lou Cheng, and the Fla Emperor said nothing. Instead, he paused as he looked around. A look of realization dawned on him.
"So, you're in this terrible state because of him?"
Lou Cheng said nothing for a few seconds, "Why didn't you choose him? Or better yet, that woman -his sister."
"He's not a pure alchemist, so he was removed. As for her?"
The Fla Emperor rembered the little girl he saw after scanning the world.
"She's indeed a talent, one I've seen only a few tis in my life. However, her background is too complicated, and I don't want complications."
"So, it's true. You chose because I was an easier pawn to control," sneered Lou Cheng; he did not know where he had gained the courage to speak to this man like this, but he did not care.
His life was falling apart, so he was fearless before his last mont.
The Fla Emperor looked at him, disregarding his rude behavior and words. "You're overthinking things."
"What does that an?"
"What is it you think I'm trying to achieve?"
"Control , make your puppet, or kill after refining the pill for you."
"And why would I do that?" continued the Fla Emperor.
"Because..."
"I've already proven the Dao, so the pill is useless to ."
"Maybe you lie about its true purpose."
"Like I said, you're overthinking things," sighed the Fla Emperor. "I don't care about the pill. My purpose is the aftermath after this pill is refined."
"I don't understand what you an."
"I'll be more direct. I'm doing an experint to gather information about sothing. Don't ask what it is; you would not understand even if I told you. You're one of the many people I chose to help with this experint. Once you succeed, nothing will happen to you besides benefiting."
Lou Cheng frowned, "Doesn't that an I'm still a pawn in your experint."
"You could see that way, or you could see it as a transaction. I gave you my inheritance, and you prospered because of it. Participating in the experint is how you repay my karma."
Lou Cheng's furrowed eyebrows relaxed, "Why don't you refine the pill yourself?"
"I need information about a mortal refining the pill," said the Fla Emperor directly.
"I see," muttered Lou Cheng. "I still feel you should have chosen him or soone else."
The Fla Emperor shook his head but did not say anything. He knew Wang Wei had a high chance of figuring out his plan, and once he knew, the Dao Opening Sect in the upper dinsion would soon know.
He was not willing to reveal that to anyone, let alone such a powerful faction. Even Lou Cheng's choice was risky because of his connection to the Pill Ancestor.
"Any more questions?"
