Chapter 1453 - 1115: The Loneliness of Living Too Long! Mountain Poisoning!
If a person has lived for thousands of years, possessing supreme power, unparalleled beauty, wealth beyond measure, unrivaled Martial Arts, and he still lives, continues to live... then, after thousands more years, having acquired everything he hadn’t possessed before, and he is still alive, then he must still want to obtain something more difficult to achieve—happiness!
Yes!
Happiness!
Because by this time, he has had everything, tried everything, experienced all the happiness that others could only dream of in their entire lives, and at this moment he will feel lonely, because it is only then that he discovers there is very little left that can make him happy.
Everything others want, he has had. What new things are there that can make him happy?
This is crucial.
So he begins to search for more novel things that can make him happy, and if there are none, then he destroys.
Because destruction itself is a form of release, the easiest kind of happiness to achieve when nothing else can be obtained—the thrilling happiness born of destruction!
But this is a twisted form of happiness!
This is also a twisted human nature.
But this is human nature.
The most difficult thing to understand in this world is human nature, which is more complex than any Martial Arts under heaven.
Even, if one cannot understand human nature, one’s Martial Arts can never reach the peak.
Because in the Martial World, no matter what the matter is, no matter how much love, hate, or resentment, it is all closely related to human nature, Martial Arts are no exception.
He spent two thousand years scraping together the Martial Arts of vassal states and even of the Holy Dynasty, researching to develop Martial Arts that are regarded as supreme and invincible in the Returning to Truth Realm, considering himself to have reached the peak of the vassal state, even many top experts in the Holy Dynasty are definitely not his match.
At this time, he began to study human nature.
He probed the fragility of human emotions, whether it was the betrayal of the Eternal Life God against his wife Bai Suzhen, or his daughter Bai Suzhen being killed by Xu Xian’s betrayal, all of which he secretly induced, are all manifestations of the selfishness of human nature.
He also probed human greed, whether it was the fall into the demonic path of Boss Zi Yi, the leader of the Seven Demon Hunters, or Xiong Ba poisoning and killing his master, scheming against the Martial World hero Yu Feijing to seize his family property and Martial Arts, all of which he manipulated in secret, are tests of human greed.
Now, he still wants to test more aspects of human nature.
He found that the deeper he understood human nature, the more novelty and excitement he felt, which is undoubtedly a new kind of happiness.
However, these are all just entertainment, he has many ways of entertainment, and this is just one of them.
During the long passage of time, if he doesn’t find something unique to amuse himself, he would almost forget who he is, who is he? Who is he! — Yes! Xu! Fu!
"Hehehehe... my descendants, your ancestor once had endless time to do everything he wanted, easily becoming the overlord of the Martial World, even once sat on the emperor’s throne.
You must know... during the chaotic Hundred Countries War, it was not so full of rules made by the Holy Dynasty as it is now, your ancestor once became the emperor during that time, but your ancestor later found being the emperor too trivial, in fact, it was better to be a carefree person, and so your ancestor no longer remained as emperor.
The country lost your ancestor’s protection, and was utterly destroyed during the Hundred Countries War, but your ancestor had long been indifferent, it didn’t matter whether the dynasty was destroyed..."
In the cold, misty, and spacious cave, an aged and arrogant voice echoed, the content of the words was shocking.
But then a strange man wearing a Mystic Ice Mask was seen lazily sitting on a gigantic ice sculpted Divine Throne, speaking while casually waving one hand, his whole being exuding an enigmatic charm.
On the ice-covered ground near his throne, a blue-clad man with disheveled hair and a dignified yet weathered appearance sat cross-legged, his hands and feet bound with chains as thick as a child’s arm, unable to move, surprisingly it was Wu Ming whom Jiang Dali had instructed Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing to find.
It turned out that after the former Martial Arts Legend fought this strange man and was severely injured, he still couldn’t escape and was being imprisoned in this icy cave by this odd man.
The once Martial Arts Legend has fallen to such a pitiful state, it was truly shocking.
Wu Ming slightly lifted his head, a hint of mockery flashed in his somewhat dim and exhausted eyes, fearlessly staring at the strange man on the Divine Throne, he said, "You say you have obtained everything, but have you ever obtained true feelings? You say you were the emperor, your country perished, and you could only stand by with folded arms, and even your passive stance was probably to avoid danger, you did not want to oppose the Holy Emperor of the Holy Dynasty at that time, because you knew that before the Holy Emperor, you were only a nameless soldier. Even as strong as the former Emperor Qin could not rival the Holy Emperor, nor could you."
"Insolent!"
Shakyamuni suddenly sat up and roared, his voice immediately surged into a fierce wind and terrifying Primordial Spirit Power, echoing within the spacious ice cave, even giving a sense of spatial distortion and twisting, as if his roar could twist and distort the space through sound waves, causing dizziness and a painful sensation of the body being twisted and kneaded along with the space.
Strong as Wu Ming was, in his weakest and most sluggish state at the moment, he couldn’t withstand such torture, he couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
