The old man Kudan waited for millions of years and finally found a life-or-death friend. However, the joy in his eyes was very faint, but more of a loss.
"You are finally here, so there is no need for my virtual image to exist anymore!"
Xu Ming watched carefully.
Having become a "life and death friend", he did not dare to get carried away at all, but became more and more cautious.
Whether it's the virtual image of Old Man Kudu or the little yellow-haired ape, he can't deal with it. If the other party wants to be detrimental to him, then even if he activates the "stealth" function, he will probably be doomed.
"Don't be cautious." Old Man Kudan shook his head and said with a smile, "If I really want to harm you, even if you are a hundred times or a thousand times stronger, you still won't be able to resist."
As he spoke, Old Man Kudan waved and a simple wooden chair appeared opposite him: "Sit down."
Xu Ming sat down as instructed.
"You must be full of doubts in your heart, right?" Old Man Kudan regained his composure, "Then just listen to me slowly - I, Old Man Kudan, am the elder of the Taoist Palace."
While the old man Kudan was speaking, he secretly observed Xu Ming's expression.
Seeing that Xu Ming's expression looked normal, he guessed that Xu Ming obviously didn't know what the words "Elder of the Taoist Palace" meant.
Don’t know about “Questioning Palace”?
Old Man Kudan couldn't help but ask: "Whose power are you from?"
Xu Ming was a little surprised why Old Man Kudan asked this question, but he still said honestly: "Barbarian Sect."
"Are you from the Wilderness Sect? That's not right... Since you are from a powerful force, how come you don't know about the Taoist Palace?"
Big force?
Well, it seems a bit big... at least much bigger than Feiyun Kingdom.
"Our Wilderness Sect is just an ordinary yellow-level force...can we be considered a big force?" Xu Ming said weakly.
"How could it be a yellow-level force?" Old Man Kudan looked confused and did not continue to struggle with this issue. He thought that it might be the same name.
The old man Kudan continued: "In my life, I have endless freedom and endless struggles. I compete with others, myself, and nature... But in the end, I find that it is just a bamboo basket to draw water!"
The old man Kudan sighed: "If you don't take that last step, you will eventually be unable to escape the end of your lifespan! No matter how strong you are, no matter how many treasures you have, no matter how high your status is, it will all be in vain..."
"There are two greatest achievements in my life! The first is to win the Kiryu Ship, and the second is to create the demigod-level skill "The Power of Kiryu"."
"You must have felt the subtlety of "The Power of Mist and Rain"!"
Xu Ming nodded secretly.
Anyway, in the short term, this "Power of Mist and Rain" seems to be more powerful than his boundary-breaking technique "Breaking Mortal Dust".
"There are so many people in this world who want to obtain the "Power of Mist and Rain"! However, how can I pass on the skills that I have spent my whole life to create to others at will? Huh! The more they want to get it, the less I will.
Give it to them!" Old Man Kudan's mood at this time fell into an extreme state.
"But... I am not willing to let my life-long efforts and insights be lost in time like this! So, before I died, I left an assessment on the Wuyu Ship, waiting for the destined person..."
"I believe in fate, just as I believe in cause and effect!"
"You - after passing many tests, you have gone from being a stranger, a casual guest, a destined person, a fellow traveler, to a 'life and death friend' step by step. I believe that this is not a coincidence, but a cause and effect that has been arranged by fate!"
"What is a life-and-death relationship..." Old Man Kudan leaned on the back of his chair and sighed, "You live and I die, it's a life-and-death relationship!"
The little yellow-haired ape seemed to suddenly realize something. With tears in his two big eyes, he knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Old master..."
The old man Kudan stood up slowly, walked to the little yellow-haired ape, stroked its head, and said with a chuckle: "Xiao Huang, there is no need to be sad. Your old master and I have been dead for millions of years. This virtual image exists.
Or it doesn't exist, it's meaningless... From now on, just follow your new master!"
Xu Ming also stood up to show respect.
Old Man Kudan looked at Xu Ming, his expression full of calmness after a great enlightenment: "You don't have to thank me, and you don't have to be a disciple... You can learn "The Power of Mist and Rain". This is all an arrangement of cause and effect. Just accept it calmly.
yes!"
Xu Ming didn't know what to say.
"Since you and I have karma, my Wuyu Ship and everything on the Wuyu Ship will be given to you! I hope that your hope of transcending life and death and breaking through the limit of lifespan will be slightly greater than mine!"
The old man Kudan said and walked calmly outside the Wuyu ship.
The little yellow-haired ape bowed in the direction of the old man.
Xu Ming, on the other hand, followed quietly.
"It's just that it's not easy to transcend life and death..." Old Man Kudan sighed again, as if he was sighing for Xu Ming, but also for himself, "You and I are now a 'life and death partner', you live and I die.
.Sigh, I hope that from now on, you and I won’t become ‘dead friends’... That would mean that if you die, I will die too!”
Soon, old man Kudan walked out of the ship's door and walked to the deck of the Wuyu ship.
At this time, there were not only the tauren, three swordsmen, and nine black-armored giants on the deck, but also thousands of other people of all kinds gathered: babies, kobolds, beautiful women, and soldiers.
…
When the old man Kudan walked out of the ship's door, everyone knelt on the ground and bowed to him.
The old man Kudan walked indifferently: "Although they have thoughts, they are not real lives; they are transformations of formations, or weapon spirits. Real lives cannot withstand the limit of lifespan."
"It's not real life?" Xu Ming looked at it in surprise.
"Yes! Even the little yellow-haired ape is not a real life; it is the weapon spirit of this fog and rain ship..."
The old man Kudan soon walked to the front of the ship's deck. His distant eyes seemed to have pierced through the fog, and he could clearly see the entire strange space where the Wuyu Ship was: "Friend of life and death, you appeared at the right time.
If it were any later, this space would probably collapse. The Wuyu Ship would also be displaced to other places..."
"Space collapse?" Xu Ming had no idea.
"Okay, it's time to go..." Old Man Kudan said without any nostalgia, "Life and death, from now on, this Wuyu Ship will be under your control! All the treasures on the Wuyu Ship also belong to you...
…”
The figure of the old man Kudan gradually turned into dots of white light and dissipated.
"I wish you can transcend life and death!"
boom!
Old Man Kudan suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Old Master..."
"Old Master!"
The small yellow-haired ape and other weapon spirits, as well as the pseudo-life forms transformed by the formation, all cried bitterly.
Although they parted ways with their old master millions of years ago, they were already "ownerless things". However, now that even the trace of the old master's remaining virtual image has completely dissipated, I still can't help but feel sad.
.
Xu Ming looked back and was silent for a long time.
And when the virtual image of Old Man Kudan dissipated, he also received a message - he already owned the Wuyu Ship!
