Chapter 1949: Chapter 1949: Ji Wudao Shocked! Hidden Past! How Much Time Has Passed?
Ji Wudao felt extremely shocked, even horrified.
Since he fled from the Ji Family, the former Ji Family Head had used a certain Secret Technique on him at the cost of his own life, wrapping Ji Wudao in Deadly Ghost Mist that made him wish for death.
Even though he cultivated Humanity Path Cultivation Methods, he couldn’t get rid of this ghost mist.
It further affected his cultivation.
For decades, although he hid in the Scripture Pavilion of Dongyue Mansion, he had not completely cut himself off from the outside world.
He had sought out many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but all proved ineffective against this Deadly Ghost Mist, turning out to be utterly useless.
Ji Wudao had thought this Deadly Ghost Mist would haunt him for the rest of his life.
Yet when Mu Jinyu was in danger, he felt like an old man ensnared by this mist, with little room for future growth, so he might as well fulfill the ambitions of the young.
Hence, he stood up, took a Secret Medicine that could enhance his power within a short period but with a great cost, and went to fight Ji Haoran and the Patriarch of the Yaao Clan!
The final result was that he and Wei Qiankun successfully killed those two, but at the same time, Ji Haoran, understanding his condition, ignited the Deadly Ghost Mist inside him before he died.
Had Ji Haoran ignited the mist within him before he took the Secret Medicine, he would have faced significant consequences but wouldn’t have ended up in a deadly situation.
However, due to having taken such a costly Secret Medicine, Ji Haoran’s ignition put Ji Wudao in a situation of certain death.
But Ji Wudao did not regret his choice.
After all, his own issues were significant.
His potential was exhausted, even if he lived and cultivated longer, he would only reach the Chrono Light Realm and would stop there.
But Mu Jinyu was different.
He had pure Human Race Bloodline, carrying the phenomenon of Blood-Colored Mirroring Rivers and Mountains, his potential was greater, and had unlimited possibilities.
So Ji Wudao felt giving his old life to save Mu Jinyu was worthwhile.
However, who could have thought that before the ghost mist inside him and the side effects of the Secret Medicine exploded, he would return to the Human Race Secret Manuals area of the Scripture Pavilion to await death.
Yet death did not come.
Instead, he was met with a new life.
When he awoke, the ghost mist inside his body had completely disappeared, and the side effects of the Secret Medicine appeared to not have occurred.
This left him utterly shocked, even horrified.
He knew it was impossible for his own potential to have erupted and eliminated the pains that should have killed him.
If he had such potential, he should have ended his agonizing life decades ago.
Therefore, it must have been someone else’s intervention that turned his fate around.
The only person he saw upon awakening was Mu Jinyu.
Though it seemed incredible, Ji Wudao believed it was basically Mu Jinyu who saved him.
At that moment, Ji Wudao’s heart was filled with mixed emotions and deep gratitude.
He was thankful for having made that life-risking decision to save Mu Jinyu, or he wouldn’t have been able to come back from death and resolve all his internal issues.
Now he was truly reborn anew.
His potential was likely not limited to the Chrono Light Realm anymore.
He now had even greater possibilities.
Seeing Ji Wudao awake, full of shock and excitement, Mu Jinyu’s face broke into a joyful and excited smile, and he asked, "Senior, how do you feel now? Is your body much better?"
"Yes, good, very good, I feel better than ever!"
Ji Wudao replied with a cheerful smile.
He looked at Mu Jinyu with eyes full of appreciation and emotion.
Since Mu Jinyu did not explain how he saved him, Ji Wudao did not persist in asking. For it must involve Mu Jinyu’s secrets, and if Mu Jinyu did not wish to answer, then it was fine not to.
"By the way, what is the situation outside now? How long was I unconscious?"
Ji Wudao thought of this and suddenly asked Mu Jinyu.
Originally, after teaming up with Wei Qiankun to kill Ji Haoran and the others, knowing he would not live long and was unable to handle subsequent matters, he did not stay to discuss with Wei Qiankun and the others, but left directly.
But now, since he survived, he might be able to involve himself in the coming matters.
So he needed to ask if Dongyue Mansion had already gone to war with the Ji and Yaao Clans.
Hearing Ji Wudao’s inquiry, Mu Jinyu shook his head and said, "I don’t know the current situation outside. I was unconscious for a while myself!"
"Oh, right!"
Hearing Mu Jinyu’s response, Ji Wudao immediately thought about how Mu Jinyu was nearly killed under the attack of the Patriarch of the Yaao Clan, and only his timely intervention saved Mu Jinyu from him.
At that time, Mu Jinyu had suffered severe injuries, and by the time he left, Mu Jinyu had not yet regained consciousness, so he indeed was unaware of many things.
"Do you know how long it has been since then?"
Ji Wudao, considering Mu Jinyu’s injuries back then were quite severe, thought Mu Jinyu’s recovery to the current state must have taken at least several dozen days.
Yet Dongyue Mansion remained silent. Could the Ji and Yaao Clans really have swallowed their resentment?
Their Patriarch, leading a group of elders, suffered a complete annihilation, certainly smoldering with anger?
Ji Wudao felt it shouldn’t be that way!
In his understanding, these Royal clans were not of a temperament to simply let it go!
Mu Jinyu replied, "Only two hours have passed!"
"What? That’s impossible!"
Hearing Mu Jinyu’s response, Ji Wudao was momentarily mute, then shook his head with a strange look on his face.
He thought it was impossible.
Not to mention, with Mu Jinyu’s severe injuries back then, it would have been impossible to fully recover in just over a few dozen days.
Additionally, the Deadly Ghost Mist inside him had so deeply entangled with his Five Viscera and Six Bowels after so many years, that careful removal without harming him would be required.
That would also take at least a dozen days.
During that time, Mu Jinyu using precious life-sustaining Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to prolong his life could explain how he survived.
Mu Jinyu said, "It’s really only been two hours. Otherwise, how could I have had the chance to save you, Senior?"
Hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, Ji Wudao thought it made some sense.
If Mu Jinyu himself had injuries so severe that they would have taken dozens of days to heal, Ji Wudao should already be dead.
How could there have been the opportunity for Mu Jinyu to save him?
"How did you do it?"
Ji Wudao grew more and more astonished, finding it hard to believe and asked.
Of course, after asking, he felt it was somewhat inappropriate, and added, "Of course, if this is some kind of secret you prefer not to talk about, it’s okay not to tell me."
"There’s no harm in saying it." Mu Jinyu shook his head.
His Blood Essence had healing effects for the Human Race, known only to Chu Huannian and the others. In front of others, Mu Jinyu always pretended he used top-level Healing Medicine to save them.
However, he had just demonstrated the characteristics of his Blood Essence before Wei Qiankun, Wang Yeqing, and others, so there was no need to hide this from Ji Wudao anymore.
The secrets related to Earth Emperor’s Tome, the two Divine Plants, the Inner Realm secret he dared not disclose, but this was not an issue.
