Chapter 958: Just a Little Bit More
"Of course, we still need to rely on external forces." Lianwu shrugged, "This is not a difficult thing, but the premise is that I have to become a true Ghost King first to create that talisman."
So... after all this talk, most of what he said was nonsense.
Han Jing...
Lian Xichen...
Han Jing looked at Lian Xichen and comforted, "Brother, don’t worry, we will definitely do our best. Lianwu will also... very soon become a true Ghost King, you see, he’s just a tiny step away now?"
Lianwu...
"If there’s nothing else—" Lianwu glanced at the two of them, his meaning was obvious, if there’s nothing important, don’t get in his way.
He didn’t particularly care about whether to save people or not, and even the prospect of becoming a true Ghost King sooner rather than later was no longer crucial to him.
Initially, he indeed wanted to quickly mend his final soul to become a true Ghost King, in that case, he would have a truly Immortal Body and wouldn’t worry about vanishing completely. Ghost King cultivation is different from human cultivation; once a Ghost King is truly cultivated, his Spirit Core is indestructible.
This means, as long as he becomes a true Ghost King, he is immortal and indestructible unless he can’t endure the world’s loneliness and chooses self-immolation; otherwise, neither humans nor gods can kill him.
He has been cultivating for thousands of years, has struggled to reach this final step, and once, this indeed was his greatest wish and purpose. But,—Lianwu’s gaze fell onto Xiao Xue, who was struggling with a talisman, and the blood-red eyes gradually softened. After experiencing life and death, trials, past and present lives, for him, nothing in the world held as much significance as meeting someone he cared about.
And he found that person.
This is his true meaning.
Han Jing left with Lian Xichen, looking distressed, while Lian Xichen found her expression rather amusing, "I believe in you, you can definitely do it."
Han Jing looked up and saw Lian Xichen’s trusting gaze; she nodded, "Hmm."
With such expectations on her shoulders, how could she allow herself to fail?
"Oh, and there is one thing I almost forgot." Han Jing suddenly remembered that when they parted ways with the Xia Clan, Ling Xiang had mentioned that if they were to go to the Delusion Void Array, he should be informed, and he would arrange everything to go with them.
Ling Xiang said that what he loved doing most was practicing martial arts and cultivation, so he always regarded Su Yu as his opponent and goal. But now, he is no longer Su Yu’s match, nor is there any inclination to challenge him, but he still wants to challenge himself further. He is unburdened, and more experience would be fortunate for him.
In the recent martial arts competition, before leaving, Ling Xiang had specifically urged not to forget to inform him.
"Brother, send someone to notify Ling Xiang, tell him we plan to leave in about a month, Su Yu has gone into seclusion, we don’t know for how long. He said it might be a week, maybe ten days to half a month, we still have time," Han Jing said to Lian Xichen.
Lian Xichen paused for a moment, "You really plan on bringing Ling Xiang?"
Han Jing nodded, "Is there anything wrong with that?"
Lian Xichen: "He is, after all, Ling Yue’s son."
Han Jing smiled, "Brother, there’s no need to let the grievances of the previous generation linger on, Ling Xiang is a very good person."
