Chapter 88 Demon Lord Legacy
"Ultimately, it means that in the eyes of Lady Yun Xiao, there was only Demon Lord Bai Mushuang. Alone, she fought her way from the south to the north of this grand hall, from east to west, until the blood flowed like rivers and the bones piled up like mountains. Only then did she find this hall and slay the legendary Demon Lord Bai Mushuang, then drifting away, never once seeing me, her servant, as worthy of regard."
"So, that’s why I was able to survive."
But then Lan Yue started to bitterly smile, saying: "It might have been better to have died back then. Although the Heavenly Vault Star Shattering Array was destroyed, the hall itself still seals off heaven and earth. In the ensuing battle between the two, the remnant Primordial Qi of heaven and earth here was completely depleted."
"If only it were just that, but regrettably, relying solely on myself, I cannot leave this grand hall. I can only stay with His Majesty’s corpse, without food or drink, not even a sound, just like this for a thousand years, a thousand years! Do you know how that feels?"
With these words, Nezha felt an uncontrollable shiver in his heart.
Ultimately, Cultivators, like humans, are social animals, needing interaction and understanding.
The threshold for cultivation is high, but stepping onto this threshold does not guarantee success.
Laziness, sloth, foolishness, obsession, desires—these still entangle a Cultivator throughout their life, dragging many a genius from the clouds to the dust.
And cultivation itself is an exceedingly dull and tedious task, with few capable of persisting to the end. Even Shi Ji, naturally as tough as rock and supposedly least afraid of loneliness, took Bi Yun and Cai Yun, two young disciples, during his secluded cultivation in the deep mountains.
Apart from dispelling loneliness, another reason is to prevent their cultivation from going awry, ensuring they don’t sink deeper due to mental issues.
