Hearing Ye Qiu's explanation, the veteran's expression instantly became terrified. He wasn't a novice cultivator, but a complete old monster. He knew very well what Ye Qiu meant and what it meant.
"Heavens! This…"
He could not believe that there was such a magical method in the world that could plant all the blood in his body with Dao techniques.
This was an unprecedented idea. If it was realized, it would break the unchanging laws of heaven and earth. If this method was imagined by others, the veteran might think that it was a fool's dream.
It was because this was an unachievable idea. How bold was it to plant a Dao technique with the blood in his body?
If he was not careful, he would be consigned to eternal damnation. All his hard work in the first half of his life would be overturned.
The path of cultivation followed the laws of heaven and earth. Such a heaven-defying thing was too bold.
It was no wonder that the veteran was so doubtful. No matter who it was, they would more or less give up when they heard such a thing. However, the moment he heard that this unprecedented technique was something that Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu had comprehended in his life, he believed it.
This was because no one knew the Longevity Calamity better than Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu, nor did anyone understand the pain of the Longevity Calamity better than him. He had undertaken it before and personally experienced it. After being sealed for tens of thousands of years, he had overturned countless ideas to conclude this path.
Although Ye Qiu was the first to take this path, the veteran firmly believed that he would definitely succeed.
It wasn't because he trusted Ye Qiu, but his trust in Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu had never changed.
In this world, only Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu could make him trust him so much.
"Planting the Dao with blood! Haha! How bold is this? Using every drop of blood in your body to establish a connection with the world will be a supreme realm of transforming everything into your body."
The veteran pointed out the key elements of the Dao of Blood.
At this moment, his heart completely surged. Because other than this news, he also understood one thing. The man he had followed all his life had never given up on his dark struggles and had never forgotten their ideals.
At this moment, he had no regrets even if he died.
"Good, good… Master has already found the profundity of cracking the Longevity Calamity. Brothers, did you hear that? Master hasn't given up…"
The veteran turned around and looked at the bones on the yellow sand. Tears streamed down his face. At this moment, he was crying. He was not crying from sadness, but from joy. However, after his happiness, he quickly fell silent because he also knew that he might not be able to last until that day.
Then, a lonely expression surged into his heart. He turned around and whispered, "Child, I'm very happy that you told me this without any guard.
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that day. I've been through hundreds of battles and my body has long been devoured by the wind and frost of time. Only this remains is left.
"Originally, I could still struggle at death's door with the support of the Netherworld Fruit. However, this Netherworld Fruit Tree blooms once every ten thousand years and bears fruit once every ten thousand years. When it matures, it will be another ten thousand years.
"I won't be able to wait for that day! I'm very grateful that you're willing to help me. However, I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy this favor."
The veteran was not reluctant at all. The moment he gave away the Netherworld Fruit, it meant that he had long given up on life and death. He wouldn't ask Ye Qiu for the Netherworld Fruit because this fruit wasn't enough to support him until the next fruit ripened.
This might be fate. Originally, that Netherworld Fruit Tree was filled with fruits.
In the early years, it could still support his and his many brothers' lives. However, after a long time, the laws of heaven and earth changed, and the environment was greatly affected. The original fruit tree was only left with a few immature fruits.
Those brothers also realized this and understood that this tree could no longer support so many of them. In the cruel choice, they gave up waiting and gave this opportunity to the veteran to continue waiting for Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu.
After giving up on the Netherworld Fruit, their remains were completely buried in this yellow sand and they were completely asleep.
This was a very difficult choice. The one left behind was often the most painful and lonely. Fortunately, the veteran's many years of waiting wasn't in vain! Ye Qiu's arrival finally untied the knot in their hearts.
Ye Qiu could see the loneliness in the veteran's eyes. He only smiled and said, "No… Senior, you can wait."
"Hmm?" As soon as these words were spoken, the veteran pulled back from his low mood. He was very puzzled and said, "What do you mean?"
Even Ming Yue looked over suspiciously. She was very puzzled. Even she knew how cruel this matter was, how could Ye Qiu not understand?
"Qiu…"
Just as she was about to persuade Ye Qiu, Ming Yue stopped. Although she couldn't see where Ye Qiu's confidence was, she understood one thing after knowing him for so many years. Ye Qiu never did meaningless things.
Since he had spoken, there was definitely a way to resolve this matter.
She fell silent.
Ye Qiu turned around and looked at her, giving her a reassuring look. A violent wind swept through the yellow sand, and her hair was a little messy. Ye Qiu gently tidied it up for her.
Then, he turned around and continued to say to the veteran, "Senior, you're on the other side of the Netherworld. You should know better than me that there are three supreme treasures in the Netherworld, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the veteran instantly understood. How could he not understand that Ye Qiu's so-called three treasures were the Three Treasures of the Netherworld?
The three supreme treasures led by the Heaven and Earth Yellow Ginseng were: the Heaven and Earth Yellow Ginseng, the Netherworld Fruit, and the Crimson Jade Leaf Flower.
No matter which of these three treasures it was, they all had the heaven-defying effect of reviving the dead. Among them, the effect of the Heaven and Earth Ginseng was the most terrifying.
Secondly, the Netherworld Fruit focused on flesh and blood. It was a little similar to the concept of phoenix nirvana.
Finally, there was the Crimson Jade Leaf Flower. This was a soul treasure. Its terrifying medicinal properties were more reflected in the increase in essence energy.
Actually, what the veteran really lacked was not the Netherworld Fruit because he did not have a body to begin with. It was also because of that incomplete body and broken skull that there were many forbidden laws, preventing him from absorbing the true medicinal properties of the Netherworld Fruit, so he could not recover his body.
Moreover, the essence energy brought by the Netherworld Fruit was actually less than half of what the Crimson Jade Leaf Flower brought, let alone losing a portion.
If those forbidden laws did not exist on his skull, perhaps the Netherworld Fruit could help him recover his body.
Unfortunately, the heavens did not do as he wished. Back then, when he entered the Dark Forbidden Area, his body was corroded by the darkness. At this moment, he was already on the verge of death, and the Netherworld Fruit was helpless.
"You're saying that you have the other two immortal treasures?"
The veteran seemed to understand what Ye Qiu meant and sounded a little puzzled.
