Eternal Swordsman - 2
Chapter 95 The Return of Mist, Old Man

Dox looked at all the changes that were happening around Jia Lin, the light in his eyes became warm all of a sudden. He did not attack her like Jia Lin had been waiting for.

Instead, he only looked at the things he formed with his thoughts and understanding of the Great Magic Paradox. To him, these things were real, but to others, it might be fake or it might also be real. This was what he got from understanding the power of changing this logic.

"Pretty good. I've seen that you can manipulate your environment, but do you know how to use it in combat?"

Dox took a step forward, his body smashing into the shadows that formed around Jia Lin. The images instantly shattered along with a huge wave of fog, disappearing as if they had never existed, to begin with. Jia Lin stood quietly, watching all this happen, the Dox that hit his Paradox magic form was not the real Dox but the image of himself he had created.

Dox's shadow turned to him with a smile, the savage beast he created was placed beside the sealed coffin. The coffin was placed inside a house filled with many clouds of dust that had gathered for thousands of years.

Two pictures of Dox walking out of nowhere, one having a rose in his hand as he placed the rose on top of the coffin. The next Dox rubbed the head of the savage beast lying beside the coffin, this savage beast was real.

"The real you were never there, right from the start," Jia Lin murmured to herself as she finally realized something from all these years.

Dox smiled at her, he just nodded his head at her. His face sometimes smiled while at other times was sad. Jia Lin could feel a deep sadness in those eyes, this sadness made Jia Lin's heart ache and made his mind feel heavy.

He looked down at his hand, opening his palm, inside, a rose slowly formed from nothingness. He then walked up to the coffin and placed a rose on it as he put it all together.

"Efforts"

With a wave of his hand, Jia Lin formed a garden made of red roses and a large tree that stood on top of the coffin. All of these things he created or created, using his profound Qi as the basis. So he got weaker with every use of magic. One had to remember that in order to use grand magic, a lot of profound Qi would be consumed!

"I understand now. She's your sister, you love her with everything you have, but she's dead"

Jia Lin knew that inside this coffin, lay the body of his senior master Star. Jia Lin bowed towards this coffin with deep emotions written all over her face. Then he knelt down and bowed three times and remained in that position for three days without moving. After doing all of these things, the power of the stars began to move smoothly in his body as if the keys were suddenly broken.

At this moment, he had gained full recognition of the star power emanating from the Starry Sky Grand Magic. Now he is the true master of this magic, all for the reason that he is now seen as the true heir of the stars.

"Good rest, sir"

Jia Lin bowed again to the coffin. After which, he took out a high-quality essence stone and used his Paradox magic. The stone shone for a moment before forming a star in his palm.

"Let this star represent the will of Your grace upon this world"

Jia Lin released a star-shaped essence stone that floated above the coffin. He had spent over 80+ years inside the Dark Abyss and this old man was one of his friends as well as his teacher. He is a past member of the Broad Expansion Circle and is his good friend and Master.

Dox sees his actions with deep emotion and affection. She felt warm inside knowing that her younger brother had someone other than her who would forever remember his grace!

"The essence of my Great Magic is to reshape the world around you, using the Qi essence within the body. It can make the people around you think that they see a different world, a world that you create. In fact, it was all in their minds. But if you're strong enough, you can use your power to completely reshape reality itself"

Dox touched the ground with his finger, instantly the green grass turned into endless flowing water. Jia Lin felt her feet wet and her pants wet with water. He was really surprised by the situation, the water felt real and maybe it was.

"Maybe yes, maybe not. With Paradox, the logic we make" with his words, the water turns back into green pastures and red roses.

Dox stood up from the ferocious beast, he walked towards his next self, fusing into it. Beside the coffin, the next coffin rippled into existence.

"The truth is what you do. In my memory, the Star will forever live. The paradox is that contrary to logic, I have lived for 6 million years, long enough to see the changing of billions of worlds and the lives and deaths of trillions of people" Dox walked towards the next coffin where his body disappeared.

The mansion was silent without any sound, Jia Lin stood in front of the two coffins with a complicated look before saying.

"If one day I have the power to suppress the world, I'll come back here to take your coffin and put it in a better place"

Jia Lin bowed to the second coffin for three days without moving in the slightest. After those three days, he woke up and placed many roses on top of the second coffin. These two people reminded him of his master in the past, a man who had taken good care of him and had also helped him on the road of becoming an Immortal of time.

Dox, like Star, had taught him many things. His mentality and appearance had changed, his strength had increased to such an extent that even a mid-level Martial King was not his. But he still had to fight against the late stage Martial King. The changes his body went through were shocking, even his soul had strengthened to the point that it should not be visible to someone at his level or at his age.

Jia Lin sat inside the house, his mind flashing. He had nothing to do or go anywhere. The savage beasts in this land that could disturb him could be counted on one side and if he did not need to, then he would look for trouble from one of them. He just sat and waited, waiting for years to pass.

"It's not gonna work"

After six years of sitting in one position, Jia Lin's body had accumulated a lot of dust. He was like a statue in the darkness as his body was revealed in that one position. It was then that when it reached the seventh year that would make it to 91 years old, a voice sounded inside Jia Lin's head.

"Hm"

Jia Lin's eyes slowly opened, his eyes deep as stars in the night sky. He turned his head to look down at his chest as his neck bent down to look, his bones sounding like broken stones.

"The seal slipped off by itself"

Jia Lin frowned in his chest. It had been many years since the seal that locked the main force of the ship came apart. The last time he had to undo it was when he faced off against the Monster Race Ghost Slaves 76 years ago. And now, the seal was opened without him taking the initiative to open it.

The seal on Jia Lin's chest was in the form of a lit candle. This candle was black with a blue flame burning on it, looking very strange and mysterious. The Black Mist floated out from the candle and into the air. Jia Lin did not panic at all, on the contrary, she was very calm.

"And here I thought that it would be the next 400 years before I get the chance to see you again" Jia Lin got up from his sitting position.

His bones were fractured with every movement of his body. The fog floated in the air before taking the form of an old man. This old man had a calm face but his eyes were pitch-black and as if he wanted to drown the world.
