The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 229 He Will Come Out Alive. Might as well…
The old man seemed to be unaware of his surroundings and he seemed to have entered into the world of painting.
“This... Where am I?” The old man muttered in his heart as he found himself floating in the air. He tried to move, but he found himself unable to even lift a finger or close his eyes. All he could do was stare at the towering mountain in front of him.
“This mountain looks familiar... Wait! Isn't this the mountain in the painting?” He muttered inside his head.
He could not even see the mountain peak as it had already pierced through the sky with an infinite height. This tall mountain is covered by tall trees and healthy shrubs. He could also see thousands of ferocious beasts walking freely on the mountain.
Suddenly, everything in front of him changed.
Ahaaagg!!
Baaaaagg!!
The towering mountain was struck by a terrifying wave of lightning. His distressing lightning did not look anything compared to what he saw now.
The mountain remained standing upright and upright, but its vast greenery left only charred remains. Even the wild beasts that lived within the mountain did not escape and had become ashes, scattering with the wind.
The old man remained silent as he stared at the damage done to the mountain. And just as he was about to feel pity, he suddenly discovered that the sky had turned dark.
He could see from his peripheral vision that thousands of huge meteors were descending from the sky. The old man also felt the tremendous heat brought by these meteors.
It's thundering! It's thundering!
Over several thousand meteors hit the high mountain, producing many earth-shaking sounds.
A while later, the dust cloud subsided and he saw the state of the mountain breaking apart. It had lost its former majesty and had now shattered into several large pieces.
He empathized with the mountain because he had experienced something similar. He was already at the peak of his life and he stood at the peak of the Profound Dragon Continent as one of the strongest experts, but his dream of reaching Immortality was shattered after he failed to overcome his tribulation lightning.
“No matter how tall you are in your life, there will come a time when your growth will stop or maybe even you will lose everything...” The old man muttered in his heart when a melancholy wave hit him. .
Hm?
The old man focused his attention back on that broken mountain. It was still a mess, but he could see that life was slowly growing back as time went on.
Green clumps, tall trees, and even living creatures slowly appeared once again.
The lifeless mountain has come back to life after a thousand years!
The old man suddenly laughed in his heart.
“So so! So that's what's missing! Now, I know!” If anyone could hear his thoughts, they might believe that this old man had become a lunatic.
“Dad!” Emperor Elyk exclaimed in shock when he saw his father cough up a mouthful of dark blood.
Everyone was also shocked by this, and just as they were about to offer help to the old man, a calm voice floated into their ears.
“Do not move. He might suffer a backlash if he was disturbed in his current state. This was an opportunity for him to break through from his shackles and become a full Immortal.”
Everyone was shocked when they heard Jiu Shen's words.
Emperor Elyk was also dumbfounded at his words. He knew his father's condition and he realized that the old man could no longer me his true essence and thus was stuck at the peak stage of a 9th rank Saint.
‘So this is what the Wine Master Jiu talked about when he said that one of the paintings might be able to help him! A painting that could help one break through to the Nascent God Realm? Wow!’ Emperor Elyk exclaimed as he looked at his father excitedly.
The old man was already sitting cross-legged and he seemed to be meditating.
Everyone could feel that a vast and profound aura was slowly enveloping the old man.
Wean! Wean!
The rumbling sound of thunder resounded over the sky.
Jiu Shen frowned as he looked up at the sky with his spiritual perception. “Light woes..” Mumbles.
– Ding!
– The system has detected someone who is experiencing his distress in the store. Host, please take this guest to the roof. If we forcefully protect him from his tribulation lightning, the Heavenly Laws will produce a form of tribulation lightning that is more terrifying and possibly dangerous to the shop. Ask the host to bring the guest to the roof immediately.
Jiu Shen suddenly got up after hearing the mechanical sound of the system. He made a move with his hand and a small portal suddenly appeared in front of the old man.
After moving the old man to the roof, Jiu Shen returned to his seat and calmly said. “Hestia, don't let anyone out of the store. Tell them that they will die if it comes out this time.”
Everyone was horrified when they heard Jiu Shen's words and their faces were shrouded in panic.
Hestia who was standing behind Jiu Shen bowed to her master and replied. “As you said, mr.”
He then went to the ground floor to announce to everyone what Jiu Shen had said.
“Wine Mr Jiu, what happened? Where's my dad? And what do you mean that people will die if they get out of the store?” Emperor Elyk asked worriedly.
Jiu Shen glanced at him and replied indifferently. “Your father was able to take his true essence to a certain level after seeing the painting and this event called out his distressing lightning. I took him out so he wouldn't destroy my shop, but you don't have to worry. He'll get out alive. May..”
Emperor Elyk felt a surge of cold air rush down his face when he heard those words.
