Star Trace Gate

Chapter 678 Let Me Swear

Five days later, ancestral land.

The scorching sun slowly penetrated the dense forest and sprinkled through the gaps between the branches, shining with golden light and causing dust to float.

Master Chu took the medicine hoe, dug up a green herb, and put it directly into his mouth to chew without washing it. For some reason, he lost more than 20 kilograms in the past five days, his face was sallow, his lips were pale, and he looked very depressed.

Not far away, Ren also cast a curious look and asked softly, "Fatty, why are you always eating grass? Do you really want to turn into a goat and become a citizen of mine?!"

"This is called castor grass. It has the effect of relieving pain and paralyzing the skin and flesh." Master Chu replied weakly.

“…Why are you eating this?!”

"Fuck you, Wuliang Tianzun, if you tell more than 3,000 jokes in five days, you have to eat castor grass." Master Chu touched his lips subconsciously and said, "I don't know why, but when I talk, my mouth feels dry... and stinging. I can only eat this to make myself feel the existence of my lips. Little bad king, do you think I will really have sequelae?"

"This is the psychological effect. Take out the white jade stick and I can cure you in two strokes." Ren Ye's face was ruddy, his blood was extremely vigorous, and the aura he exuded invisibly could even make the surrounding flowers and plants look brighter.

He just woke up early this morning, and all the wounds on his body have healed. The star core in his abdomen is surging, and his personal condition has reached an unprecedented peak. However, the price he paid was that the green vines wrapped around his body all turned into dust and dissipated the moment he sat up.

Ren also sensed that there was an emerald green "bead" on the star core in his abdomen, and it was because of this bead that he felt as if his body had been reborn, and every inch of his skin and flesh was filled with the breath of immortality.

For a moment, he even thought beyond his capabilities that he might live for ten thousand years.

If I really want to live for 10,000 years, can my beloved concubine stay with me for that long? Should I marry a second wife as a backup? I am really conflicted.

He fantasized shamelessly, and suddenly thought of Senior White Striped Chicken's polite and elegant face...

This man must be a lunatic. He actually wants himself to be the emperor here over chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, flowers, plants and trees. He also wants to build temples and repair courts... The most important thing is that it may take a hundred years to get all this done.

One hundred years!!

When Ren Ye thought about the fact that he would have to hold court meetings with tortoises, bugs, tigers, lions and the like for the next hundred years, he instantly became wilted.

Moreover, the drop of green life in his stomach would probably be taken back by Senior White-striped Chicken sooner or later, because it was too precious and there was no reason for the other party to really give it to him.

That man is just a chatterbox, slightly mentally ill, but definitely not a fool.

"Hey, little bad king." Master Chu Dao asked softly while digging wild vegetables for dinner: "...You must have gained a lot from your near-death rebirth this time, right?! I fed you a relic pill to help you enter a state of enlightenment, so you must have realized some strange magical secrets in the energy of reincarnation."

"Hey, you haven't already learned that... that terrifying finger shadow ability, have you?"

When he was getting along with Ren Ye, he already knew that the other party was a Huaizi King in the Ancient Star Gate, so he accurately gave him the nickname - Little Bad King.

After being stunned by the question for a moment, Ren Ye denied it without hesitation: "No, the effect of your magic pill relic is very ordinary. I just had a good sleep. It's not enlightenment at all!"

"you are lying!"

Master Chu curled his numb lips and said, "I clearly sensed that you have been in a state of enlightenment for the past five days. You are the descendant of the Human Emperor and are gifted. If it were an ordinary magical spell, you would be able to learn it after just one look, but if you want to initially comprehend the essence of it, it will definitely take more than five days. Tell me, have you really learned the finger shadow that can trigger the energy of reincarnation!"

"I did think of the finger shadow since I entered into meditation, but I can't say I understood it, let alone learned it." Ren Ye looked at him with clear eyes: "That magical power is too difficult... It is completely beyond the ability of my level to grasp its meaning. I estimate that only a strong person who is about to enter the forbidden realm of the gods can learn this magical power."

"But it's such a pity...!"

"What a pity?" Master Chu Dao was full of desire for all treasures and books, so he was very curious.

"It's a pity that I have used up the talisman that can activate the Finger of Samsara. Even if I reach the God Forbidden Stage in the future, I am afraid I will never have the chance to visualize it again." Ren also sighed to the sky: "Isn't this a pity?"

"Huh, you really didn't learn anything?" Master Chu was still skeptical.

“Why would I lie to you? Believe it or not.” Ren rolled his eyes at him and stopped explaining. He also did not say what he had visualized or seen when he had attained enlightenment.

"It's such a pity." Master Chu Dao originally wanted to use the excuse of investing in the magic pill to ask Ren Ye to teach him how to cultivate the energy of reincarnation so that he could see some things clearly, but now this bastard insisted that he had no gains, so he couldn't ask him forcefully.

Ren Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead and urged softly, "Hurry up and dig for the treasure. I'll go catch two fish to eat."

"Dig, dig, dig, what the hell! I am a Taoist priest... a supernatural being, and I am here to dig vegetables to kill time? This is absolutely ridiculous!" Taoist priest Chu felt a sharp pain on his lips again. He dropped his hoe and cursed, "You want to catch two more fish to eat? You don't really want to stay here for a hundred years and marry a female monkey as your queen, do you?"

"Why are you so rude?!"

Ren Ye sat down on the ground, expressionless and said: "Let you tell me, even if the two of us fight to the death, can we fight against Senior White Stripe Chicken?!"

"No."

Master Chu Dao said without a second thought: "...even if there are a hundred of you or a hundred of me, he can destroy them with a snap of his fingers."

"That's it. We can't beat him, and we don't know how to get out. So what else can we do if not dig vegetables?" Ren Ye spread out his palms and replied.

"Haha, who said there's no way out?"

A very confident smile appeared on Master Chu Dao's fat face. "During the days you were asleep, I not only told him jokes, but also worked every day to catch food. I have been to most areas of this ancestral land. To be honest, I didn't find the thing I was looking for."

Ren also knew that this guy was very intelligent and meticulous, so he did not interrupt.

"However, I have always been curious about one thing. This is the bottom of the pond. It should be dark and gloomy...but why is it so full of life here, with the sun shining brightly in the sky? Moreover, all creatures and animals are breeding extremely vigorously." Taoist Master Chu took square steps and walked in the forest, with his hands behind his back, adding: "All creatures can only survive and thrive if they are nourished by the sun. But where does the sun at the bottom of the pond come from? If it is just a magical power of manifestation, how can it last for a hundred years?"

Ren Ye's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I have been thinking about the same thing. That's right, if the flames on the head are just evolved from magical powers, then they definitely can't really have the ability to reproduce all things. So... what do you think...!"

When Master Chu heard the other party's approval, he put his hands behind his back, slowly raised his head and looked directly at Lieyang: "Yes, I want to go to Lieyang and take a look...!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Ye was about to poke him in the face when he saw a figure in black appear behind Master Chu.

"If our guess is correct, then we will have a chance to slip away... Haha, then let the white-striped chicken go to the river to catch toads by itself." Master Chu looked at Ren Ye with a smile, but saw him shaking his head at him.

"Why are you shaking your head like a idiot? Why don't you say something..." Master Chu urged.

Ren shook his head again.

Master Chu Dao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around to look behind him, only to see Senior Bai Tiao Ji's calm face gazing at him affectionately.

He was dressed in black, with long black hair draped over his shoulders. He slowly raised his right arm, poked Master Chu's cheek with a finger and asked, "Little Fatty, do you want to go to heaven!!!"

"Senior, I... I didn't... You misunderstood. He was the one who said he wanted to leave, and I just analyzed it." Master Chu smiled: "I'm not leaving, I'm staying, and I have to tell you a joke?!"

"At midnight tonight, you go to the toilet first, and I will go later. Don't cover your mouth." Senior Bai Tiao Ji ordered in a gentle voice.

"...!"

Master Chu was stunned for a long time, and then he thought it was better to be a good man and not suffer a loss, so he replied: "Don't worry, no matter when you come, I will shout "Ah" as soon as I squat down."

"You are a teachable kid." Senior White Stripe Chicken nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go, I'll take you fishing."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to take the two of them out of the dense forest, but Ren Ye looked at his back, frowning in thought.

"Let's go, what are you still standing there for?" Master Chu said in a voice transmission, "Fuck him, I can just shout by myself, why do you have to make him angry and force your way in?"

Ren ignored him, and after thinking carefully for a few seconds, he called out loudly: "Senior, please stay!"

He had always wanted to talk to the other party, but he woke up too late and hadn't thought about how to start the conversation. It was only just now that he organized the words in his mind.

Under an ancient tree, Senior White Stripe Chicken turned around gracefully, smiled faintly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Senior, if you hadn't rescued me after I activated the energy of reincarnation, I would have been a dead body by now. I will remember this great favor forever. If you don't abandon me..." Ren Ye saluted solemnly with his fists clasped together, and while speaking, he bent his legs and made a subtle gesture of kneeling down.

"brush!"

Senior White Stripe Chicken immediately made way and turned to Ren Ye and said, "No need to try to get close to him. The energy of reincarnation is very close to you. You are alive... by your own ability. The most I can do is to help you recover as quickly as possible... Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Ren Ye paused for a moment and said, "May I ask, Senior, if someone outside wants to come in, but has no token and only luck, can it be done?"

The white-striped chicken nodded slightly: "Okay, what's wrong?"

"Senior, to be honest, I want to leave." When Ren Ye saw that the other party had exposed his little thoughts, he no longer hid it and said with a clear and frank look: "I want to leave this ancestral land."

"If you leave, I will lose my luck, and I will die in this shitty grave." Senior White Chicken seemed to be extremely contemptuous and disgusted by this, but he replied very frankly: "Although I disdain to bully the young, when it comes to life and death... I can be shameless."

"No, only after I leave can you live, and it definitely won't take a hundred years." Ren also stood up and shook his head, "At the fastest, it will take a month, at the slowest, two months."

Master Chu looked at Ren Ye with a slanted look, and couldn't help but curl his lips and secretly said, "This kid lies so easily when he opens his mouth."

White Chicken looked at him calmly, neither surprised nor angry: "Do you know how much luck is needed to break the taboo here?!"

"Is the luck of a dynasty enough? If not, add the thick earth land and the luck of Tiger God Mountain. Is it enough?!" Ren Ye looked at him and asked without changing his expression.

When Bai Tiaoji heard this, his eyes brightened up: "I have heard of Hou Tu, but where does this dynasty's luck come from?!"

"The secret realm where I hold power is called Qingliang Prefecture. Qingliang Prefecture borders the Daqian Dynasty in the north and Nanjiang in the south. The ruler of the Nanjiang Lich Kingdom is my sworn brother, and we once fought together against the Daqian cavalry." Ren was afraid that the other party would not believe him, so he boasted a little in real life and instantly turned the Third Prince and the Fat Dragon into his nephews.
