Chapter 625: Chapter 568: Entering the Dao Through Gambling
A sudden flash of light emerged from the horizon in the vast formation racing across the sky, its momentum like thunder, causing a commotion as it swept through the formation.
"An enemy attack?"
Not only the cultivators below were in an uproar, even the messenger beside Mu Zili’s expression changed dramatically.
Just as they were about to take action, Mu Zili, in annoyance, pulled them aside, letting the magnificent and colorful light enter his body.
"This is the Little Heaven and Earth, don’t make a fuss."
Have these people lost their minds? An enemy attack in a place like this? It was just a message, yet they acted as if they were in a drama.
Feeling the familiar sensation within him, Mu Zili’s expression was three parts strange and seven parts distressed.
Wasn’t this the familiar aura of his worrisome master? What did he want now?
Could it be that he caused some trouble again and wanted him to clean up the mess?
Didn’t he say he would be in closed cultivation for a year? Did a year pass so quickly?
While lamenting how time flies, Mu Zili internally groaned.
He truly didn’t want his master’s retreat to end so soon!
He wished his master could cultivate in seclusion for hundreds of years.
He hoped his junior fellow disciples would also enter closed cultivation for a century at a time.
"Let’s go!"
After hesitating for a moment, Mu Zili decided to carry on and first find that person from outside the realm.
If it really was caused by his junior brother, he needed to quickly clean up his mess!
As for his master...
Heh, what could possibly happen to him!
...
At this moment, Han Yu was slightly better off, having regained the ability to sit cross-legged. He was now quietly watching the enigmatic expert standing with hands clasped behind his back.
If he hadn’t seen it wrongly, the other had just sent out a beam of light.
And if he hadn’t heard wrongly, the person said he could bring someone over.
Yet after waiting for several moments, not a single figure appeared.
Before Han Yu could feel awkward, the old taoist’s face already showed signs of embarrassment.
"Wait a bit longer, maybe they’re busy."
After another quarter of an hour.
The old taoist’s face was a bit flushed.
"Wait a bit longer, maybe they’re still busy."
This time, not even half an hour passed before the old taoist couldn’t help but start stomping his feet.
Because he guessed a certain possibility.
Could it be that ungrateful disciple thought the old man was going to cause more trouble for him?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"How about, I go find them myself?"
Han Yu, obliviously speaking at this moment, made the old taoist even more uncomfortable.
"No way, I just don’t believe he wouldn’t come."
The old taoist was determined not to let him go, making Han Yu inwardly lament.
What a situation, initially, he planned to make some quick bucks and then find the person, returning promptly.
Now, he was detained by a baffling old taoist.
The old and the young indeed waited from dawn until night, but Mu Zili never came.
The night was dark, but the old taoist’s face was darker.
However, Han Yu, changing from his dispirited state, looked up at the sky in amazement.
This was the first time he’d seen what the night of this so-called Little Heaven and Earth looked like, the time during his coma didn’t count.
This realm possessed no moon, only a jade disc-like object hanging high.
This thing was more like the phenomenon Su Xiaoxiao once displayed.
It’s worth noting that in the distance, lights shone from various places, seemingly emitted from buildings, adding unique colors to the empty night.
Could it be coming from the Enlightenment Tower?
The journey here, he seemed to see only this kind of building, as for others, he hadn’t had the chance to see before being detained.
"Haven’t seen it before?"
The old taoist looked at Han Yu, craning his neck and looking around, waved his hand, releasing all suppressive forces.
Even with complete freedom, Han Yu didn’t dare to run; besides, he couldn’t escape.
Didn’t you see the old taoist’s seemingly smirking face, who knows what he’s scheming?
"If you continue to curse me in your heart, you might turn into a ball,"
The old taoist coughed twice, unable to resist reminding him.
"Well, Su Xiaoxiao could sense malice, this old ho... senior must be even more exaggerated,"
Han Yu silently mouthed to himself, rising on the wind without saying a word.
As his body rose higher, everything below was caught in his gaze, and at this moment, even he couldn’t help but his pupils contract.
The night of the Little Heaven and Earth was too beautiful, every place lit by a star.
Their starry arrangement bloomed in the pitch-black night.
"Indeed like a starry sky."
Yes, Han Yu’s first impression was of the earth beneath this heavenly dome, resembling a star-filled sky.
Of the two places, that is the direction from which Han Yu came, both were also gleaming with starlight.
Indeed, it was the light from the Enlightenment Tower.
When Han Yu descended again, he couldn’t help but ask the old taoist, "Is this place always so beautiful?"
The old taoist smirked, "If you stayed here for a thousand years, you wouldn’t think it’s beautiful anymore."
No matter how beautiful the thing, after enough time, it’s just as it is.
This starry place is nothing but the astral top of the outside world.
By the same reasoning, would outsiders think the sky is beautiful?’
"Senior, how about letting me go!"
Han Yu planned to take advantage of the decent atmosphere to raise the topic again.
The result immediately made the old taoist’s face darken again.
Because he thought about how even now, his second disciple still hadn’t come.
Wasn’t he worried the master was calling for help?
Wasn’t he worried the master encountered trouble?
"Don’t even think about leaving, even if Mu Zili comes, you can’t leave after taking care of business."
Han Yu felt close to tears, he hadn’t provoked anyone, so why couldn’t he leave?
"You really think I’m joking?"
The old taoist eyed him intensely, "The old man made a bet to merge with the world in a year, and you messed it up in my remaining few days."
"So tell me, can the old man let you off easily?"
One whole year wasted, the old man thought his disposition was quite good, else he had reason even to kill him.
"Senior, how about betting again on yourself? This time I’ll make sure to run far away."
Han Yu bitterly smiled, if he’d known such an oddball was down here, he wouldn’t have come down for anything.
Artifact Spirit, that damned thing, was hiding tightly, playing dead from when he descended until now.
But that also reflected the depths of this old taoist’s mystery from a certain perspective.
"Ha!"
The old taoist responded with a sarcastic smile after hearing this.
"The old man entered the Dao through betting, any lost bets cannot be re-bet."
Meaning if he couldn’t merge with the world within the year, he couldn’t bet on it again.
"Then you could bet for two years, or even a hundred years!"
Han Yu quickly supplemented, his reaction impressively quick.
Just that the old taoist’s face darkened once more after hearing it, and honestly, he had already heard this a year ago.
And it was that disappointing second disciple who suggested it, recommending he start with at least a century, even suggesting a millennium.
Even offering to arrange the location to ensure no disturbances.
Did he really think the old man couldn’t see through that wolfish ambition? He was evidently tired of the master being a burden.
"Senior, why insist on this bet? If it doesn’t work, find another path?"
Han Yu spoke bitterly, having interacted with numerous cultivators from the Yama Hall and Celestial Dao Sect.
Despite witnessing various strange abilities or methods, entering the Dao through betting was indeed peculiar, who cultivates this way?
"You look down on my Dao?"
The old taoist narrowed his eyes, immediately displeased.
"How could I!"
Han Yu awkwardly forced a smile for a while, which the old taoist saw as disdain without a doubt.
But instead of fuming, the old taoist thought of something.
"Want to try making a bet with the old man?"
Betting wasn’t of interest to Han Yu, but what the old taoist said next certainly stirred his spirit.
"If you win, you can leave after taking care of your matters."
