Chapter 292: Becoming an Old Demon


She looked Lu Ren up and down: "I didn't expect you to have reached such depths in the Bodhisattva Realm."

The syllables she uttered were extremely strange, and if it weren't for the natural transmission of spiritual information from her, he wouldn't have known what this old demon lady was talking about.

Lu Ren's expression shifted slightly: "Are you Chang Xin?"

"Yes, I am."

Upon hearing Chang Xin's affirmative answer, Lu Ren's eyes narrowed slightly. Indeed, these ancients were extraordinarily cunning; the content stored within the Red Jade Scroll on the top floor of the Library Pavilion was definitely not random scribbles.

All of this paving had been for this very meeting.

Chang Xin sighed, "It's been nearly ten thousand years since I last awoke; under such prolonged closure, not only has this world not waned like the tide, but instead, it has grown increasingly harsher.

Evergreen's departure wasn't a mistake; maybe by now, he has completely transcended."

Lu Ren replied indifferently: "The entire Cosmos is like a cage; if he truly transcended, one person attaining the Way, all else would ascend. Besides, as his Dao partner, you shouldn't be at the brink of exhaustion again, squeezing out your last trace of longevity."

Honestly, whatever methods Chang Xin used, or whichever treasures she employed to successfully slumber through ten thousand years while retaining a sliver of life till this era, it's an exceptionally terrifying feat.

God knows what kind of terrifying Power she possessed in her peak times.

Chang Xin chuckled lightly, her facial expressions twitching, her drooping wrinkles blossoming like chrysanthemums, appearing quite frightening.

She was simply too old, so old she had become a demon.

Seeing Lu Ren staring fixedly at her, Chang Xin's body didn't move an inch; or perhaps if she made too many movements, she would accelerate her life's depletion.

"To last till now, I've employed many forbidden techniques, but it hasn't been in vain."

She looked intently at Lu Ren, her expression filled with excitement.

"You finally came."

Lu Ren's expression remained unchanged: "Why me?"

"I'm not waiting for you, just that your body and Spirit are strong enough. Honestly, given the current environment, reaching such a level with body and Spirit, even in the era I lived in, would be quite incredible."

She said earnestly: "Since you've come here, I have no hope for the future, just wish to continue the legacy so the Moon Palace doesn't end. Perhaps someday you too will reach a certain height, then venture into the depths of the starry sky, becoming one of the Wandering People."

"Legacy?"

"Yes, legacy!" said Chang Xin, "It's the continuation of our spirit. If someday you truly transcend, maybe you can pull me out of the cycle of reincarnation; this is my single hope for persisting till now."

Lu Ren appeared curious: "Dare I ask, elder, was your Moon Palace very formidable in the past?"

Chang Xin displayed a proud expression.

"Even during the Great Wilderness Era, my Moon Palace was the top Sacred Land, standing upon Taiyin, overlooking the wilderness. The Taiyin Star beneath was the source of our Power, granting us the peerless force to conquer the entire wilderness."

Lu Ren said: "Nowadays, with the drastic change in the celestial environment, the legacy of the Moon Palace might not be suitable for this era anymore, right?"

"No, you're wrong. In a hundred years, I have a premonition that the spiritual mechanism of this world's life will be liberated again. Then, with your utmost Magic, you'll surpass everyone, becoming the true Master of Heaven and Earth."

Lu Ren's expression moved: "Is that truly so?"

Chang Xin said gently: "It's the result I've finally deduced while sitting here for so many years."

"Then why don't you keep persisting, elder? Perhaps you could endure until that time?"

Chang Xin sighed: "I don't have enough time. If I insist on sleeping, in another decade or so, I fear I'll vanish completely."

So, the time is insufficient!

Lu Ren revealed a hint of understanding.

Chang Xin saw this and managed a smile.

"Good child, your foundation is excellent. Come forward."

Lu Ren moved forward as instructed, his six-foot stature appearing immensely intimidating, wearing a trace of an excited, naive smile, seemingly exhilarated by the anticipation of receiving the most top-tier legacy in the world.

His body even trembled slightly.

Chang Xin's expression remained unchanged; even during the Great Wilderness Era, those who knew they were entering the Moon Palace to study True Skills were far more excited than Lu Ren.

"Come, just rest your fingertip on my forehead."

Lu Ren hesitated at those words, "Wouldn't this hurt you, elder?"

Chang Xin laughed: "It's merely spiritual infusion, with Heart Seal to Heart Seal, I'll hand over the entire legacy of the Moon Palace to you, I can no longer sustain myself, it's up to you next."

"This... alright."

Lu Ren lowered his hand, covering Chang Xin's head.

"What are you doing?"

Chang Xin's tone changed slightly.

She clearly mentioned a fingertip; how did it end up as a palm?

Lu Ren chuckled, "I feared a single finger might not make adequate contact, covering with the whole hand, thinking that with Heart Seal to Heart Seal there wouldn't be much hindrance."

Earlier, his body trembled slightly because it was undergoing intense changes, quietly channeling his Essence, Qi, and Spirit to peak state, aiming for the best Power discharge.

Before Chang Xin could speak, the Bright Sun True Qi, raging to the extreme, was fully unleashed by him. The Buddha Seal, condensed into golden threads on his body, emitted a faint golden glow. This was near his peak terrifying grip strength, displayed by Lu Ren.

He could guarantee, even a carbon stone in his hand would easily become a diamond under such terrifying grasp.

"How dare you!!"

Chang Xin transmitted an unbridled burst of anger through spiritual information.

Seeing this, Lu Ren joined all remaining three arms, his unmatched Power directly yanking the other from the throne, surging True Power exploding instantly, aiming to rip Chang Xin into several pieces.

However, to Lu Ren's surprise, Chang Xin's body resembled clay; he nearly stretched Chang Xin over six meters, yet her body wasn't torn.

Like rubber.

"Ding, you suffered a mental attack from Chang Xin, the Master of the Moon Palace, who intends to possess your body and devour your Spirit."

"Ding, detecting a strong mental impact on the host, data derivation in progress... automatically shielded, shielding complete."

Indeed!

Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Lu Ren's conviction grew even stronger; none of these ancient beings were good people.

Early layout within this Moon Palace was to weave information webs, gradually pulling the other into a whirlpool.

From the outset, it was assumed Chang Xin was a righteous person.

Truly intent on continuing the Moon Palace's legacy.

Lu Ren could guarantee that if Nosnov obtained the Red Jade Scroll and came to the main hall, he would have been possessed by Chang Xin, for sure.

Indeed, he truly was a great person!

Nosnov, by eliminating you early, I've saved countless lives.

While pondering internally, Lu Ren suddenly heard Chang Xin's shrill, aged voice in his ear.

"Why. Why aren't you harmed, do you carry a Supreme Spiritual Treasure? You carry a Supreme Spiritual Treasure!!"
