Urban Undying Lord Chapter 349 - 349 348

349: 348 349: 348 Ti passed swiftly, cutting down the heavenly prides, and the old friends of forr years were no longer with us.

Ye Xuan bowed deeply, in a way paying homage to the friends of yesteryears.

“Who are you?”

Suddenly, a gentle female voice ca from behind Ye Xuan, and a burst of Spiritual Light struck towards him.

However, Ye Xuan made no attempt to dodge, and the incoming Spiritual Light dispersed into nothingness.

Ye Xuan slowly turned around, and his eyes t a woman with brows and eyes like painted scenes, while a smile also erged on his face.

“Six hundred years have not seen you, and you have already stepped into the Body Integration Realm.

If Brother Baiyi knows this from below, he should be quite comforted,” Ye Xuan said with a gentle voice.

“Ye… Mr.

Ye?”

Xue Ji, the only disciple of Liu Baiyi and one of the four leaders of the Wu’an Office in forr tis.

Six hundred years had passed, her appearance hadn’t changed at all, but her deanor had beco more mature and enchanting.

When Xue Ji saw Ye Xuan’s face, her cold eyes went blank, moisture gradually appearing in them.

Then she could no longer control her emotions and suddenly knelt down, kowtowing to Ye Xuan.

“Xue Ji pays respect to Mr.

Ye.”

“You are Brother Baiyi’s only disciple, no need for such excessive formalities.”

Ye Xuan’s fingers flicked through the air, and a breeze lifted Xue Ji from her kneeling position.

This made Xue Ji bite her lip slightly, her gaze towards Ye Xuan showing a mix of complexity and excitent.

“In the blink of an eye, six hundred years in the human world, I did not expect that upon my return, Brother Baiyi would have already been buried in the earth, and thus the world is short of a peerless talent.

This is indeed a regret in my life,” Ye Xuan lanted.

If there was anyone in the Human World that Ye Xuan truly admired, it was Liu Baiyi, who had already passed away.

He was a singularly outstanding individual with the talent to span Heaven and Earth.

In that era of dwindling laws of Heaven and Earth, Liu Baiyi created his own Blood Qi Transfer Technique.

Even in a world devoid of nature’s spiritual energy, he could wield the abilities of a cultivator, and he even started an alternative path of cultivation.

Although this path had its flaws, looking across the entire Earth Immortal Realm through the aeons, who else had created a unique way of cultivation?

This also indirectly proved how exceptionally outstanding Liu Baiyi was, and he could be considered one of the rare geniuses throughout the ages.

“Tell , why did Brother Baiyi die old in the Mortal World?” Ye Xuan asked softly.

“Mr.

Ye, back then after you found a flesh body for our master…” Xue Ji narrated smoothly, explaining the reason behind Liu Baiyi’s demise.

Six hundred years ago.

Ye Xuan found a flesh body for Liu Baiyi, allowing him to step onto the path of cultivation.

However, Liu Baiyi’s Primordial Spirit was too powerful; besides the daily fixed cultivation, he was constantly perfecting the ‘Reverse Immortal Array,’ even to the point of obsession.

The body he occupied gradually began to collapse, and at that ti, nature’s spiritual energy had just begun to recover, but his Primordial Spirit was overly strained, leading his flesh body to slowly wither as well.

Had Liu Baiyi decided to abandon the Reverse Immortal Array earlier and focused on resting his Primordial Spirit and flesh body, he might still be alive today.

Unfortunately, Liu Baiyi was a proud man and he carried a sense of guilt towards Ye Xuan.

He had originally promised Ye Xuan he would complete the Reverse Immortal Array to help Ye Xuan cross the Nine Heavens Immortal Tribulation but when the ti ca for Ye Xuan to face the tribulation, the Reverse Immortal Array still was not ready, and yet Ye Xuan had procured a physical body for him before drifting away forever.

The guilt toward Ye Xuan, the obsession with the Reverse Immortal Array, Liu Baiyi neglected his own rapidly deteriorating Primordial Spirit and body to perfect this peerless array through day and night, even though Xue Ji’s advices had no effect on him.

Three years later, the Reverse Immortal Array was finished, yet on that very day, Liu Baiyi personally destroyed it.

This also left Xue Ji shocked to the extre, anxiously asking Liu Baiyi why he would do such a thing, but Liu Baiyi’s answer rendered Xue Ji speechless.

“Brother Ye has ascended to the Immortal Realm; this initially completed Reverse Immortal Array is already useless to him.

Even if one day Brother Ye returns, how could I hand over such an array to him?”

It was also on that day that Liu Baiyi sat in a trance for seven days and seven nights.

When the early sun rose on the eighth day, he once again fell into a manic obsession, scrambling all the formation manuscripts and drawing a new prototype array diagram.

Four hundred years passed, during which he never slept, not pausing even for a mont, Liu Baiyi was wholly imrsed in drawing the Array Diagram.

His body eventually withered to bones, his Primordial Spirit was dim and cracked, and he seed as light as a thread of silk, but also on this day, after four hundred years, a hoarse, excited laugh erupted from Liu Baiyi.

A strange and terrifying fluctuation burst forth within the Reverse Immortal Array Map.

“What is Reverse Immortal?”

“To follow is to beco immortal; to oppose is to be mundane.

This is the true Reverse Immortal Array, even if a Daluo Golden Immortal were to step into this formation, indeed, he would not be able to leave!”

Liu Baiyi, a unique prodigy of all ages, laughed loudly on this day, spewing a great amount of vital blood from his mouth, unconcerned, and as he laughed, tears also stread down.

He held the new Reverse Immortal Array Map as if looking at an unparalleled treasure.

On this day, Liu Baiyi, though he completed the new Reverse Immortal Array Map, also reached the end of his life; in his final monts, he shakily handed the Reverse Immortal Array Map to Xue Ji.

“Xue Ji, my ti has co.

I have never owed anyone in my life.

Brother Ye was a dear friend of mine.

You must personally hand this Immortal Extinguishing Array Map to him so that I may rest peacefully in death.”

His body dispersed, his Primordial Spirit extinguished, without even a chance for reincarnation.

Four hundred years of painstaking effort finally led Liu Baiyi to depart in tranquility, his final smile peaceful and serene, his face filled with a divine glow.

Liu Baiyi, a re mortal who crafted a monuntal array, was indeed worthy of Ye Xuan’s kindness in earlier years.

Even in death within the Mortal World, he could die with his eyes closed.

After hearing Xue Ji’s mournful recount, Ye Xuan remained silent; he truly had not expected that a simple act of providing Liu Baiyi a body would make Liu Baiyi cherish this kindness forever.

“Brother Baiyi, I am sorry, it was I, Ye Xuan, who caused your demise!” Ye Xuan bowed down, his aura even more sorrowful, saddened by the loss of a true friend.

Ye Xuan had never had friends and didn’t need them; in his view, so-called friends were just a matter of mutual benefits.

Should those benefits ever be hard, those friends would turn into enemies.

But today, knowing Liu Baiyi’s past centuries, Ye Xuan felt deeply sorrowful for losing such a true friend.

Who could be his brother after this?

“Mr.

Ye, my master passed peacefully, and Xue Ji has awaited you here for a full six hundred years as per my master’s instructions.

Today, finally, I can fulfill my master’s last wish.”

Xue Ji forced a sorrowful smile, her hand sohow producing an Array Diagram, which she then respectfully handed to Ye Xuan.

Upon taking the Array Diagram from Xue Ji, Ye Xuan clutched it tightly in his hand, for he knew this was Liu Baiyi’s final lingering thought and the testant of friendship between them.
