Chapter 1196 – Where My Finger Go

It was a skeleton that looked almost undamaged, and every bone had scars that made one’s scalp tingle. One after another, they intersected. The large wounds were obviously caused by swords and sabers, and the countless fine and dense wounds were most likely caused by the turbulence in space.

An Zheng stood there looking at this skeleton, the shock in his heart incomparable.

Could this beerless expert who had already reached the level of an Immortal Emperor? An Zheng had heard someone mention it before, that even Celestial Sovereign s would be smashed into pieces if they entered the spatial turbulence. And since the skeleton of this man was preserved so well, it should be stronger than the Celestial Sovereign.

However, there were only three Immortal Emperors in the world, Qing Lian, Purple Ivy, Xuan-Yuan … If this person had ever reached that height, it was impossible for him to not have left behind any words. Even if they were dead for eternity, there would still be legends left behind.

An Zheng looked carefully at the skeleton, and then realized that there was something special about it.

He carefully walked over to take a closer look and discovered that the skeleton’s right arm was missing a small piece of bone. There was no finger bone on the right hand either.

An Zheng’s mind buzzed as he suddenly thought of something.

Gu Qianye.

Gu Qianye’s Bone Jade was her protective talisman, and that Bone Jade had already protected her for many years. And that piece of bone jade was a small fingerbone. Due to a stroke of luck, An Zheng found a small set of arm bones for Gu Qianye. When the two pieces of bone jade were in her possession, a body transformation giant would appear behind Gu Qianye and become her guardian god.

Could it be... This was Gu Qianye’s ancestor?

There were many legends in the Old Hunters. had first told some of them to An Zheng, then Gu Qianye herself. It was rumored that the ancestor of the Old Hunters was a sage with an unparalleled cultivation level in both ancient and modern times, and the title of sage was definitely not something that the saints of this era could compare with. This was because An Zheng himself had already reached the Sage Realm, and would be able to break into the Great Sage Realm at any time.

After reaching the Great Sage Realm, everything was different.

However, An Zheng was sure that if his luck had not reached its limit, he would have been minced by the spatial turbulence.

The Ancient Saint.

He was one of the Seven Saints.

If this person was really Gu Qianye’s ancestor, then it should be … People who came before this era. There were only three immortals after the Seven Saints, so everything made sense. After the Seven Saints had gradually fallen, the cultivation world had once sunk interiod of depression. Later on, the demonic beasts ran rampant, and the demonic beasts ruled the world for a long time. Later on, the human race rose to prominence once again. Now that they had an immortal emperor level expert of their own, it was extremely difficult for them to raise their head again after suppressing the demon race.

An Zheng took a deep breath. If Chaotic Space couldn’t do anything to this skeleton, then he might have a chance to leave. If he could borrow the power of this skeleton to block the spatial turbulence, he could break through the barrier and leave this place. It was just that, An Zheng did not know whether he could possibly be able to return to the Yancheng even if he was lucky enough to make it out alive. After all, the Chaotic Space was not the same as the outside world. If he went out, he might be able to reach the Nine Saint Sect.

In any case, it seemed to be the only way.

An Zheng walked to the front of the skeleton, knelt down on both knees, and pressed his forehead to the ground.

“Senior Gu Sheng, this junior An Zheng dares not to be respectful, I may have to borrow your body in a while to help me break the seal. I hope that Senior can bless me to leave this place and that I can choose a Feng Shui treasure to bury my bones here. ”

An Zheng heavily kowtowed, kowtowed three times, stood up, kowtowed three times, and kowtowed nine times in a row.

“I wonder if you are really Xiao Yezi’s ancestor. If you are, I hope you can help me even more.”

After kowtowing, he stood up and gave a deep bow. Just as he was about to walk over to put the skeleton away, he suddenly heard a faint sigh … That sigh was very close, very close. This time, An Zheng’s scalp felt like it was about to explode, and his heart fiercely trembled.

“Senior?”

An Zheng tried to call out. He knew that such an ancient and modern cultivator, even after dying ten thousand years ago, might still have a shadow remaining in the world. For example, that Demon Emperor’s Grand Criticism who did not know if he was real or not, wasn’t he still indistinctly visible tens of thousands of years later, helping Du Shoushou from time to time?

At this height, even if he wasn’t immortal, it wouldn’t be long.

“You really don’t know who you are?”

When the voice came out, An Zheng subconsciously took a step back. He discovered that the skeleton was sitting even straighter, and when it slightly raised its head, there was an absolute pressure on it that he could not resist. Even though it was a skeleton that was riddled with holes, it was still terrifyingly powerful.

“I …” “Who is it?”

An Zheng asked.

“Yes, who are you?”

“I …” is it An Zheng? ”

“You are and you are not.”

On the skull, there seemed to bair of invisible eyes looking at An Zheng, causing An Zheng to feel that he had been completely seen through and that he was unable to hide any secrets. It was a kind of vision that could pierce the soul, but the eyes did not exist.

“So I forgot everything. I don’t remember anything. That’s true... It’s been so long. Looking at your weak physique, I don’t know how many times you’ve been reincarnated. Why was it that generation after generation? Just what kind of earth-shaking change has happened to the world outside? ”

“In the era I was in, the spiritual energy in my cultivation base had almost dried up. Even the great heaven stage cultivators were at their peak, so it would be difficult for me to reacigher stage.”

“No wonder.”

An Zheng was silent for a while, then asked: “Senior, who exactly am I?”

“It’s better to leave it for you to slowly discover, it’s really interesting that you don’t know who you are …” Do you know who I am? ”

“I don’t know, you …” Wasn’t it Xiao Yezi’s ancestor? the ancestors of the Old Hunters, one of the Seven Ancient Saints? ”

“What Seven Ancient Saints?” What Old Hunters? What little leaf? ”

The skeleton seemed to be dissatisfied, “It really degenerated to such a degree that it’s hard to accept … Do you know why you’re here? Do you know why you weren’t killed by chaotic space? Do you think this is all a coincidence? That’s not it … The moment the space fractured, I discovered your aura and dragged you into this chaotic space. I thought you wouldn’t need to fear the spatial turbulence like me. It seems I overestimated you. I felt like you were about to die, so I brought you here. ”

“Thank you, senior, for saving my life.”

“Senior, huh …” It doesn’t matter if you want to call me that. After all, you don’t know who you are, and you don’t know who I am. If I tell you, is there no longer a single legend of me in this world? ”

“You are …”

“Who am I? Ha ha-ha ha … It doesn’t really matter to you who I am. But if you insist, I’ll tell you my other name. When I was still outside, I was addressed as Da Chi. ”

An Zheng’s mind buzzed, and he felt his mind go blank.

“Demon Emperor …” Demon Emperor’s Grand Criticism?! ”

“It’s me.”

The skeleton like gaze seemed to sweep across An Zheng’s body, giving off the feeling that he was laughing.

“But, didn’t the legends say that you existed at the same time as the Three Immortal Emperor? Why are you here? ”

“The Three Immortal Emperor? Are you talking about the Blue Lotus Xuan-Yuan and Purple Ivy? Amongst the three of them, only Purple Ivy made me feel like a man. Something big must have happened out there, something so anachronistic. Isn’t there a legend of me outside? Could it be that those three fellows do not remember me as well? ”

An Zheng shook his head: “I have seen Purple Ivy before, he said that he completely forgot that he knew you, and also did not remember an Emperor Level great cultivator appearing in the Goblin Tribe.”

“Monster? Hahahahaha … It’s actually rumored that I’m from the Monster race … Monster my ass, I’m a human, an indomitable person. It seems that time is a bit of a headache, even Purple Ivy has not seen me, obviously there waime period that was dug out, and the time period could even be as long as ten thousand years. Purple Ivy and I had known each other for ten thousand years, and during the great battle, Blue Lotus Xuan-Yuan tore open space and came out together with me … Then the guy yelled about going back to his hometown, a place called Earth. However, in order to not disrupt the balance of that place, he must first dissipate his own cultivation. Otherwise, once he descends that place, it will directly shatter into pieces. ”

“I was the one who protected him back home. After dispersing his cultivation, he smiled like a fool …” In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed. ”

An Zheng asked witrembling voice, “You... Was he trapped here because of the tearing of space after sending Purple Ivy back? ”

“Trapped here?”

“Hahahahahaha …”

That laughter was filled with unruliness.

“This crappy place can trap me? The skeleton left behind here is only the flesh of my reincarnation. Who taught Purple Ivy to be indestructible? It’s me! I was the one who taught Purple Ivy the art of reincarnation, and I was the one who gifted the Eye of Nine Incarnations to him … Do you know why those people call me Demon Emperor’s Grand Criticism? Because I am invincible, because I act on my own whims, I feel that whoever is right is right, and I feel that whoever is wrong is wrong. “What bullsh * t rules of space and time, what bullsh * t Heavenly Dao, in my eyes, is just bullsh * t. If I want to break it, I can easily break it.”

An Zheng felt like his heart was about to explode.

All of these things were different from the rumors that Purple Ivy denied the existence of the Demon Emperor’s Grand Criticism and had always thought that the Demon Emperor’s Grand Criticism was really the Emperor Level Master of the demon race. This was what was said in the legends of the future generations. But why was everything different?

“This is only one of my fleshly bodies, the fleshly body of my reincarnation.” After I sent Purple Ivy away, I was floating in the starry sky but later on, I really felt bored and wanted to return to my original world. However, when he came back, he realized that due to the battle between Qing Lian and Xuan-Yuan, this star field had been affected and many stars were shattered … I used two thousand years to reform and restore every single tiny particle, restoring the world... ”

At this point, he paused, as if he had suddenly realized something.

“So that’s how it is … How did you get back to this era? ”

An Zheng keenly felt that two of the words were extremely important … (TL: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU) Back.

“Senior, you’re saying that I was originally from this era?”

“That’s not it, time is already out of order, it’s …” It was another similar era. That’s not the point. Answer my question. ”

“It’s something called the Heavenly Pivot Technique that has been activated by me, and I’ve been sent to this era. I have many friends and enemies with me. It was exactly because I was schemed against by the enemy that I was blown into this space. ”

“Sneaked by someone?”

The skeleton snorted, “Trash!”

His tone suddenly became cold, causing An Zheng to feel a chill down his spine.

After a long silence, the skeleton seemed to heave a sigh of relief. “Forget it … Who asked you to be so weak? You just need to remember that all the things you encounter that you think are good luck, all the opportunities that the common people call the heaven’s chosen ones, you deserve. All of this belongs to you. You’re just picking it up in a sort of illogical but barely preserved chronological order. ”

The skeleton raised his hand and pointed at An Zheng: “You, were once supreme.”

An Zheng felt his hair go numb and he sweated profusely.

“Huh?”

The skeleton seems to have found something missing: “Why am I missing a fingerbone? Did I forget something? This small piece of arm bone was given to Purple Ivy by me when I broke it off. That guy’s physique is too weak, and he relied on my bones to achieve an indestructible body. However … Where are my fingers? ”

He suddenly raised his head. “Where did my finger go?!”
