Chapter 6120: Want To Know Who You Are?
âSo during the exchange, it wasnât for a Supreme Terror, at least not in the beginning. The targets were the three immortals.â Li Qiye said.
âThese words hurt the heart, Sir.â The old man said.
âLook into yourself, or rather, him, what was the purpose of obtaining the corpseworm?â Li Qiye continued.
After a long pause, the old man answered: âI was reminded of a famous tale.â
âWhich one?â Six-style asked curiously.
âYou surely know Xian Chengtian. Can he become an immortal? No, such a hard and long path.â The old man said.
âAnd then?â She didnât quite understand what he was trying to imply.
âWhy did he betray the immortals who took care of him?â The old man said.
âFor an item.â Six-style said.
âTheir legacy, the answer is greed again.â Li Qiye said.
âHe knew about the legacy of the three immortals. Why were they able to become immortals and not him?â The old man continued.
âVirtually impossible, becoming an immortal through someone else.â Li Qiye shook his head.
âYou stand at the top, Sir, so you also know the insurmountable gap. Not the most brilliant cultivator can make it through, hence requiring external help.â The old man said.
âSo he wanted their legacy but they refused, hence starting over from the beginning.â Li Qiye said.
âThatâs the idea.â The old man nodded.
âFire Ancestor fell into the darkness because of fear, but to be driven by greed, how pitiful.â Li Qiy said.
âAfter all, no one can resist the temptation of immortality.â The old man said.
âThat wouldnât have counted as immortality. Just becoming a pseudo was worth throwing everything away, what would you two have done for true immortality?â Li Qiye said.
âI respectfully ask you that question, Sir.â The old man said.
âThe dao must be obtained and proven by the self, that is the only way to reach the other shore. Any external help will cause a backlash in due time.â Li Qiye said.
âBecause you have done it once before.â Gold Emissary didnât mind telling the truth.
âThen who was I?â Fog Emissary stared at him.
Gold Emissary took out a pendant identical to the one in Li Qiyeâs possession. The only difference was a shining miniature galaxy within his.
âThis is Baihuiâs...â Six-style said.
âRedeem this and you can have all of your memories back.â Gold Emissary said.
Fog Emissaryâs eyes lit up while staring at it.
âUnacceptable.â Another ghost appeared in the main hall.
âWater Emissary!â Six-style blurted.
âWhy not?â Fog Emissary asked.
The always-smiling Water Emissary had a cold expression this time as he spoke: âBecause that belongs to me, not you.â
This perplexed Six-style at first because it belonged to Xian Baihui, meaning Fog Emissary was him.
âCould the two of you be one?â She speculated.
âYes.â Li Qiye smiled: âOne is a dao avatar while the other is the true bodyâs remnant life, they have been separated for eras now.â
âYouâre me?â Fog Emissary stared at Water Emissary.
âLet the past be the past.â Water Emissary didnât like this development.
âDoes this conversation sound familiar to you? I feel like I heard it just a while ago.â Li Qiye playfully tapped Gold Emissaryâs shoulder.
âBlame Jiao Heng for this, he noticed it first.â Gold Emissary said.
âJiao Heng!â Both Water and Fog Emissary had the same reaction upon hearing this name.
Although they didnât despite Jiao Heng, they wouldnât mind giving the guy a beating until tears streamed down his cheeks.
âSo you two are both Xian Baihui.â Six-style remarked.
