Chapter 613 - 613: The Divine Path Appears (1)
Hidden Dragon Region, in a certain city.
Yang Chen strolled around aimlessly. There were only three years left before the deadline set by the God of Arrays.
However, the last layer of the barrier could not be broken no matter what.
“I already know that the final barrier is to die in peace, but why can’t I understand it?”
“Could it be that I have to experience death myself?”
Thinking of this, Yang Chen couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile. How could he experience death?
Not to mention that he had the protection of the illusory Great Dao, unless a god personally acted, no one could endanger Yang Chen’s life.
Even if someone could, Yang Chen would not choose to die just to comprehend the Great Dao.
With the Dao Integration Pearl, he could completely live in seclusion. After nurturing Divine Beasts, he could naturally cleanse the world and sweep away the filth.
Thinking of this, Yang Chen continued walking…
Ancient City, a city within the Hidden Dragon Region where the sixth-ranked aristocratic family, the Gu family, was stationed.
With a sixth-rank family like the Gu family, the prosperity of the ancient city could be imagined.
After arriving at the ancient city, Yang Chen also looked around with great interest. This nearly 100-year journey had allowed Yang Chen to gain a lot of knowledge.
Yang Chen had also developed the habit of looking at the culture and customs of every place he went to.
Just as Yang Chen was standing outside a storyteller’s counter and was about to listen to the storyteller’s story, a commotion suddenly came from the street.
After listening carefully to the noise, Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile.
It turned out that the Gu family was the same as the Long family. Their ancestor was about to die, and they wanted to find someone capable to extend his lifespan.
This fate was really wonderful.
After a slight hesitation, Chen Yang agreed to this errand.
Perhaps he could even touch the traces of the Divine Road in this Gu family.
After turning left and right in the ancient city, Yang Chen was finally brought to a side hall of the Gu family.
When they arrived at the side hall, Chen Yang found that there were already many people gathered in the side hall. These people had different appearances and gathered together. They seemed to be discussing the illness of the Gu family’s ancestor.
Yang Chen pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
After all, he was recruited as a strange person. He could not possibly not know about the illness of the Gu family’s ancestor.
“Brother Liu, I didn’t expect to meet you here. Are you confident in healing the Gu family’s ancestor?”
“It’s difficult. The ancestor of the Gu family is not just poisoned. His lifespan is approaching. Otherwise, with the strength of the ancestor, he would have been able to force out the poison himself.”
“That’s true. This Gu family’s ancestor has already consumed many life-prolonging treasures. How can we have any life-prolonging treasures for him?”
“But if we don’t extend his lifespan, with our methods, I’m afraid that the Gu family’s ancestor will die before the poison is forced out.”
“Besides, even if the poison is forced out, the ancestor of the Gu family doesn’t have many years left to live.”
“That’s right, that’s right…”
Listening to everyone’s discussion, Chen Yang gradually learned about the situation of the ancient family’s ancestor.
First of all, the ancestor of the Gu family was poisoned. As for what poison it was, he was not sure for the time being, but it did not seem to be too troublesome.
The real problem was that the Gu family ancestor’s lifespan was approaching.
With his lifespan approaching, the Gu family’s ancestor was on the verge of death. He could not withstand the torture at all, let alone remove the poison.
While Yang Chen was thinking, the Gu family walked in and bowed to Yang Chen and the others. Then, they said respectfully,”Masters, I’ll leave the ancestor’s illness to you.”
Then, the Gu family member led everyone to the bedroom where the ancestor was.
When they arrived outside the bedroom, the Gu family member first asked everyone to stay outside. Then, he said apologetically,”Ancestor can’t stand the excitement, so I can only let everyone in one by one.”
“Master Lu, you’re a level six pill master, the pill king here. Why don’t you go in and take a look?”
The person called Master Lu was wearing an alchemy robe. He looked old and there were some dregs hanging on his gray beard.
Even though Master Lu was unkempt, none of the people present despised him. Instead, they were thinking of ways to get in touch with Master Lu.
Hearing the flattery of the Gu family and the respect in the eyes of the people around him, Master Lu’s eyes revealed a proud expression.
“Little brother, don’t worry. I didn’t come the last few times, so Patriarch Gu has been suffering until now.”
“I’m here today. Although I can’t extend Patriarch Gu’s lifespan, I can still get rid of the blood poison.”
Then, Master Lu went to the Gu family’s ancestor’s room arrogantly.
Although Master Lu’s words and actions were filled with arrogance, he had the right to be arrogant.
A Grade Six Alchemist was considered a top figure even in a dynasty.
This time, if the Gu family had not paid a huge price, Master Lu might not have been willing to come and treat the Gu family’s ancestor.
Time passed by slowly. Not long after, the bedroom door opened.
The Gu family member who had brought Chen Yang and the others here looked up with anticipation, only to see Elder Lu’s dejected appearance.
“This… Master Lu, you don’t have a solution?”
Master Lu shook his head and smiled bitterly.”Little brother, when you asked me to come here, you didn’t say that the blood poison had already penetrated deep into your heart.”
“Of course, the blood poison deep in the heart can also be removed, but no matter what kind of pill it is, the side effects are not something that the current ancestor can withstand..”
