Towards Eternity
Ch 568's. Arrivals

Along with the destruction of the Ghoul Core, all traces of the Ghoul that Weng Lou had previously fought had now disappeared. The claw that pierced through Weng Lou's chest was also no longer there and only left a hole in his chest that began to slowly close.

The negative energy present around the place was absorbed by Weng Lou's body, and faintly increased his strength.

"This "Divine Bloodline is indeed extraordinary. Since the fragment of the dimensional fragment I have is darkness, everything containing the element of Darkness will be absorbed by my body and turn it into strength. It's only right for the Absolutes to be ordered to slaughter them all until I and my brother are left alone" muttered Weng Lou who clenched his hands violently.

But, his attention focused more on his Soul Power which he could now manipulate easily without the need to bother.

After he regained his Soul Power, Weng Lou could again sense the level of his practice, yet now he was only at the early stage 2 Soul Unification realm. This happened because he did not have the Qi to be the buttress of his Soul Power whose number was still not how much.

But because of this, his practice speed would be faster than others, as he could fuse his body and Soul Power without being inhibited by his Qi.

While Weng Lou was still silent near the center of the labyrinth, the Jade Bamboo Sect Patriarch who was above the sky, looked at himself with a sharp gaze. He could easily feel the surge of Soul Power from near the center of the labyrinth, which Weng Lou was currently in.

But that surge of Soul Power only lasted for a moment, and it immediately disappeared like it had never existed before.

"Wei Lou. I've guessed that he must have a more complicated identity than I thought," muttered the Jade Bamboo Sect's Patriarch.

He currently chose to remain silent without informing the other Elders of the incident. Since it only lasted for a short while, and occurred within the labyrinth, only the Jade Bamboo Sect Patriarch who was a little more ascending to the Soul Mastery realm alone could sense it.

***

While the members of the Jade Bamboo Sect were watching his unfolding Labyrinth Examination. Under the Jade Bamboo Mountain, two people dressed in all black were kneeling before a man who was emitting the aura of a charismatic leader from him.

The two people wearing black clothes did not dare to raise their heads at all, and waited for the man before the two to allow them to speak.

"After two months, I finally found the man. Good work you two, for having found it this fast," said the man in a cold tone.

He stared at the top of the mountain, and did not turn his head in the direction of the two people in front of him.

Chizi Ryuan had given orders to these two men to search for Weng Lou's whereabouts to the entire Ryuan Empire territory, but for two months, no results were obtained by their search

In the end, he had to intervene in the search before they could finally find Weng Lou's current whereabouts. It was all thanks to Emperor Ryuan's informant who informed him that there was a mysterious boy as a new disciple in the Jade Bamboo Sect. The disciple surprisingly possessed incredible physical strength capable of rivaling the myriad Martial Practitioners in the Soul Cleansing realm.

What was even greater was the part where Weng Lou could do all those things without the slightest Qi because he himself did not have a Dantian in his body.

Chizi has a feeling that Weng Lou is the person she's been looking for for two months. Finally, he planned to see for himself his strength. If Weng Lou were not the person he was looking for, he would still recruit him to become his subordinate.

Talent like that of Weng Lou was extremely step by step, and if he could raise her to be more mature, then she would become one of his great weapons.

"The two of you go on guard around the mountain, I don't want any spies coming here and targeting the boy other than me. If you fail again this time...."

*glek!* The two people immediately nodded and retreated. They quickly flew and went around at the foot of the mountain, keeping watch from the arrival of the spies.

Chizi just silently looked at that, she closed her eyes for a moment, before then reopened them and gazed in one direction at the top of the mountain. He chose to fly in that direction. His flying speed was terrifying, and it was only a matter of seconds that he had arrived at his destination.

Above the sky, precisely several tens of meters from where the Jade Bamboo Sect Patriarch was located, the figure of Chizi Ryuan stopped flying and gazed towards within the labyrinth.

His face showed a wide and terrifying smile as both of his eyes stared like wild beasts towards Weng Lou.

Chizi Ryuan's arrival was late realized by the Patriarch of the Jade Bamboo Sect. He only realized the arrival of a person as strong as Chizi when the man darted to where Weng Lou was at this moment.

*BUMM!!!!*

The figure of Chizi Ryuan landed on the ground violently, right in front of Weng Lou.

Weng Lou, who was focusing on suppressing the waves of his Soul Power, exclaimed in shock at Chizi Ryuan's arrival. He could not detect his arrival at all, and only sensed his figure when he had already arrived in front of him.

Both of Weng Lou's swords were immediately held tightly, he instantly slashed down without hesitation towards Chizi Ryuan standing up. He did not recognize the man in front of him at all, but he definitely felt that there would be a great danger if he let this man start moving.

*Shuuu-TAP!*

The two twin swords of Weng Lou suddenly came to a halt before being able to slash at his target. The Emperor's two hands had now captured both of them, and immediately pushed him back towards Weng Lou.

The sensation of being pushed by a giant monster can be felt when Weng Lou pushes his sword. He was pushed back nearly ten meters before then stopping.

Both of Weng Lou's eyes stared intently at Chizi Ryuan, an enormous surge of Soul Power immediately approaching him as he stared at those two eyes. His body was dazed for a moment, but soon recovered quickly.

"Good! You are so much better than I thought! Talent like you is all I need to master all the former old Empire!!" Chizi Ryuan exclaimed excitedly while smiling at Weng Lou.

But his smile immediately disappeared, when the figure of the Patriarch of the Jade Bamboo Sect arrived in front of him with an unhappy look. There was anger in his eyes. It seemed that he did not care at all whether this man in front of him was the Emperor or not.

"Yyuan Chizi!!! How dare you enter my sect and act at will! Don't you think of me as a Patriarch, huh?!"

A layer of Qi and Soul Power immediately closed around them, and made their figure invisible from the outside.

Chizi Ryuan only looked at the Jade Bamboo Sect Patriarch for a moment and snorted softly. "I don't care about that kind of thing. I have to take this kid away. We have important matters that we have to discuss, so don't bother me, Old Grandpa. Hush.hush..."

Veins appeared on the Patriarch's head, he gritted his teeth and clenched his hands hard. He then turned his head and looked towards Weng Lou who was standing not far from them. Weng Lou's current condition was a little unkind. The Soul Power within his body that he had already hidden before, was now starting to seep out from his body.

Perhaps this was karma because he spoke harshly to Nu Qianren just a moment ago. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

A sigh rang out, The Patriarch of the Jade Bamboo Sect looked back at Chizi Ryuan and he snorted.

"Wei Lou is a disciple of my sect, he's not yours you can take at will."

"Hm? You don't seem to understand my words, he is my subordinate, and I have to bring him back!"

A huge exit pressure was released by Chizi Ryuan and made the Patriarch of the Jade Bamboo Sect stagger for a while, before he re-established his footing and defended himself from that pressure.

"Broff? Is that true, Wei Lou?!" The gaze of the Patriarch of the Jade Bamboo Sect immediately returned to Weng Lou, and quickly Weng Lou shook his head.

He was aware that this Patriarch he was hiding from was trying to protect him, even though he himself did not understand what the reason was. But the only hope for him to escape from Emperor Ryuan was to put all his hopes on the Jade Bamboo Sect's Patriarch.

A small smile was seen at the end of the lips of the Jade Bamboo Sect Patriarch, and he immediately mocked Chizi Ryuan who arrogantly said Weng Lou was his subordinate.

Finally, Chizi Ryuan's countenance changed completely, and she stared with a dark face at Weng Lou.

"Who asked for your opinion? You're my subordinate, and that's what's gonna happen. I shut up and don't interfere."

"Kergh! UARGH!!!"

Weng Lou spewed an enormous amount of blood from his mouth, and immediately knelt on the ground. An enormous pressure was on his body and it was like he was destroying his internal organs. Just the first time he felt this kind of immense pressure, he felt that he could lose consciousness at any moment, if he lost his concentration.

"Stop that!! Are you planning to kill him?!" The Patriarch of the Jade Bamboo Sect immediately drew closer towards Weng Lou and enveloped him with his Soul Power for the pressure he felt to decrease.

The fact that he could not completely remove the pressure, proved just how powerful the Ryuan Empire Emperor was.

"Pa-Patriaks....." Weng Lou could not finish his sentence, he again spewed blood from his mouth.

The pressure had caused quite serious injuries, and the speed of healing his body worked quite slowly due to his overly serious injuries.

"You shut up, I'll finish this. Although I don't know who exactly your identity is, but at least I can be a little relieved that you're not a subordinate to this bastard Emperor in front of us" the Jade Bamboo Sect's Patriarch said.

A golden colored chain appeared in his hand. The chain was extremely long, and formed an extremely large and tall scroll beside it.

The chain moved itself with the mind of the Patriarch. The chain went into the ground, and caused a great tremor in the entire labyrinth outside of them. The entire wall of the labyrinth suddenly re-entered the ground, and made the Test Participants who were trying to get to the center of the labyrinth, stop their steps and put on a face of astonishment.

"What's going on?! Why did the labyrinth go back to the ground?! It hasn't even been ten days until the exam is over!" exclaimed a stocky participant who was a student who had mocked Weng Lou before the exam began.

Qianren also astonishedly stared at the surroundings, he tried to search for Weng Lou's whereabouts but did not find it. Somehow his heart ignored all the harsh words that Weng Lou had told him. At this moment he felt that something was amiss and hurriedly went to the place where the center should be, leaving his senior who was still unconscious alone. The exam was over, so there was nothing else for him to fear.

The same reaction was experienced by the examinees. From the audience seats, they began to wonder at each other, especially the Sect Elders who were currently unable to discover the whereabouts of their Patriarch.

Elder Meigui on the other hand was more worried about the figure of Weng Lou who was also not in the labyrinth. His new disciple had been giving a mysterious impression to him all along, so he felt that the current situation must be related to him.

While he was still silent in his seat, an unfamiliar voice sounded from inside his head.

"Chairman Meigui, I need you here! The foolish emperor tried to take away your new disciple!"

It took a while before Elder Meigui realized it was his Patriarch's voice. He immediately stood up and looked in all directions, looking for the source of the telepathy. His gaze was then locked on the middle of the field where the previous labyrinth exam was conducted.

He felt a Soul Power that was vaguely covered by the Qi from that place.

"That's it!"

Quickly, Elder Meigui flew from where he was sitting at this moment. He exerted all his ability to fly at high speed towards the middle of the field.

"Chizi! Damn it, what did he want to do to Wei Lou?!" Meigui felt worried for the student, and immediately increased his flying speed.

It only took him a few seconds to fly and get to the middle of the field. A suction force immediately brought him into an invisible shield, and allowed him to see what was really going on.

"Chairman Meigui, thankfully you were able to come here quickly," said the Jade Bamboo Sect Patriarch in a hoarse voice.

At this moment, his entire body had been injured and was spitting out countless amounts of blood. His chain had been scattered around him, while Chizi Ryuan was standing nonchalantly while folding both of her hands in front of her chest.

"Based on Old Grandpa sucks, why did you bring him here?" Chizi Ryuan narrowed her eyes and turned her gaze to Meigui who had arrived.

However, Meigui actually gave all his attention to the figure of Weng Lou who has now been lying on the ground with a terrible condition. His hands and feet were broken, two golden radiant blades pierced his shoulders to the ground, leaving him unable to move at all.

"Lou!" Meigui hurriedly ran towards Weng Lou. With both hands, he plucked the two golden glowing blades from Weng Lou's shoulder, then immediately helped her to sit down.

Weng Lou's face was deathly pale, he lost too much blood, regenerated his body very slowly and even made both Weng Lou's eyes reddened from enduring the excruciating pain.

"So.karma really exists, huh?" weng Lou in his heart.
