Towards Eternity
Ch 612's
Mainland Border, somewhere very far from the reach of Martial Practitioners.
This is a region, which although still united with the Mainland, is not included as part of it.
This place is known as the destination of Martial Practitioners who have reached the end of their lives and seek true peace in the remnants of their age. But not everyone can get to this place because there is a barrier that makes people outside can not find it how hard they search.
In this place, there is a small forest that is overgrown with various types of trees, as well as small plants. There were also wandering beasts, birds chirping, as if displaying a paradise untouched by humans.
At first glance people would think that this place is like a fairy tale world, yet it really exists.
Right in the middle of the forest, there was a small village where no more than twenty people lived in it. They were all elderly people, and they lived their lives quietly and peacefully without being disturbed by any affairs in the outside world.
In the middle of the village, stood a building like a small cottage where there was a statue of a young man sitting cross-legged and closed his eyes.
The young man's face showed an age of no more than twenty years. But the aura he released was inversely proportional, and like showing the countless times he had lived.
At midnight, the statue that had been sitting quietly and showed no strangeness all this time, suddenly shook violently. The two eyes of the statue slowly opened, and a black light with white dots like a starry sky shot out from both of its eyes.
"The time is near, the whole cycle of a hundred lives will unite and the future will change."
An ancient voice echoed from within the statue. All the villagers who were resting in their respective houses, immediately appeared one by one in front of the hut and stared deeply at the statue.
"Finally, the thousands of years that I have been waiting for, will soon be over." One of the hunchbacked old geezers said with a trembling body, either because of his age or because of his own emotions.
"Your Majesty is finally back, and he will exterminate that damned creature!" exclaimed an old grandmother who was holding a stick shaped like a snake in both hands, helping her to stand up.
The old man with a thin body, yet had a height above the others, slowly advanced forward and stood right in front of the statue of the young man.
He bowed respectfully and then knelt before him. Without raising his head, he then spoke respectfully to the statue of the young man.
"Your Majesty, do we have to go out of here and look for you?"
The statue of the young man was silent, giving no answer. The old man also did not say anything else and chose to wait patiently.
Finally, after some time, the statue returned to sound.
"No need, I myself will come to this place, just like my previous life. Karma has bound me in this place for a long time. As long as the 'beings' are not dead, then the future will not change, and destruction will come! All of you have long devoted yourself to guarding the seal. But it won't be long until the shackles are gone from you all, and the real future is coming!"

Back at the Lin Family residence, precisely at the former residence of the Lin Family the Phoenix bloodline who had healing properties.
Weng Lou opened his eyes and felt the sensation of sunlight penetrating through the cracks of the window and hitting his face.
"I've recovered eighty percent, I'd better go to take a look at this place for a moment before looking for Du Zhe."
He stepped down from the bed and walked out of his room. As soon as he arrived outside the room, Weng Lou found himself in a fairly large hallway and almost every wall there would be a painting decorating it.
All the paintings on display are depictions of a Phoenix bird. But the Phoenix in each painting is different. There are bright orange colored like a fire that devours everything, there are also purple or blue with their unique characteristics.
Weng Lou only took a look around for a while before proceeding to get around.
Compared to using Qi or Soul Power to look around like this, it would be more pleasant to see it with his own two eyes.
After spending half an hour, Weng Lou had only explored a quarter of the building. He realized that the building he was in right now was a house built in such a way that it became a palace. Many of the rooms were empty without contents, in contrast to the room where Weng Lou had rested before.
He had also yet to discover where Du Zhe and the others rooms were located, thus making him wonder just how big this palace building really was. The passageways he passed through continued to change as floor by floor he passed by.
Finally, after walking for about an hour, Weng Lou arrived on one floor where he could hear familiar voices in his ears.
After walking again for a while, he finally found himself in a large hall that was none other than the banquet hall.
Many chairs and tables were arranged neatly in line. In one of the rows, Weng Lou could see his men enjoying their food and talking ria.
"I've only eaten at a fancy place like this! Plates and other cutlery are actually made of precious metals, such as silver and Hot Metal! A single set of this equipment alone was already worth hundreds of gold coins! Y'all hear?! Hundreds of gold coins!!" yell one at the other.
The other who was looking irritated heard those shameless words, and he began to reply to that person's words. "Hey, are you a metal expert or something? Just eat your food! What happened to the hundreds of gold coins? It's not like you've never held it, '" she said.
"Hey, I just said what I was thinking. After all, you yourself have eaten with this fancy stuff before, huh???"
"Kugh! It's just cutlery, even if it costs up to thousands of gold coins, it's still tableware."
"Yes yes yes. You've only ever eaten from a scoop full of rust, so what do you know? Ahhaha!"
"Huh?! Whatdidyou say?! I challenge you to say it again!"
"Are you deaf?! I said you've only been eating from a scrap spoon all this time! And that's the fact!"
"Okay, that's enough! You seem to be asking to be beaten up! Feel this!"
*bugh!*
Without hesitation, one of them unleashed a punch and hit the right face of his interlocutor.
The man who became his interlocutor was tilted backwards, but not long after he immediately got back up and immediately returned the fist given to him.
Immediately, a fight broke out and the atmosphere in the place instantly turned increasingly crowded.
Weng Lou laughed softly at that. He had no intention of stopping them, after making sure the two were just a casual fight without using martial arts, Weng Lou went back for a walk.
After passing through the banquet hall, he now arrived at the palace hall that was fused with the throne room.
The throne was empty, no one was sitting on it, even so there was an invisible pressure exerted from the throne that made Weng Lou slightly moved but soon he stopped and went to another place.
Finally, after wandering around for quite a while, he now reached the top of the building where it was a small garden that was completely empty with nothing.
On one side, it was seen Du Zhe who was training alone demonstrating the fist movement that Weng Lou immediately recognized in one look.
"How are you developing, Du Zhe? Did you have an obstacle?" asked Weng Lou who immediately made Du Zhe focus distracted.
His eyes sparkled as soon as he saw the figure of Weng Lou. He ran with his sweaty body and smiled at Weng Lou.
"Teacher!"
