A Will Eternal – Chapter 1014

Chapter 1014: Just a Little

His hand ... just holds the air …

"More fun !!" Bai Xiaochun's consciousness began to rise from within the void, propelled by an indescribable wave of grief!

His eyes were open to see. The twenty-two-colored flame was gone, and Bai Hao along with it.

Only a small wisp of fire remained, sparks, the last traces of Bai Hao remaining in the world. As it fell onto the back of Bai Xiaochun's hand, it burned it, leaving a small mark.

Bai Xiaochun shivered, his hands frozen in the air in front of him, his eyes filled with tears.

Although he could not see Bai Hao's final moments clearly, he could feel that his disciple was now no more …

Tears fell onto her withered skin, and the ground beneath her feet, as more grief than she had ever imagined could overwhelm her.

It was not that Bai Xiaochun had never experienced the death of a friend or loved one. But this is different. Bai Hao's death filled his mind with a deep and deadly silence ….

It was the grief inflicted by such people, not to scream and scream, but to silence and shed tears….

He thought back to the first time he had seen Bai Hao. He thought back to the moment when his soul awakened. He thought back to how they relied on each other to survive in the Wildlands ….

From now on, Bai Hao, I am your Master!

More pleased, what do you think Master did this time !?

Ha ha!! Don't worry, your master has a lot of experience with this kind of thing.

As memories flashed through his head, he shivered uncontrollably. He was still unable to pull his hand back, and in fact, made another attempt to grab Bai Hao. He refused to believe that his disciple had truly perished ….

"More happy ..." he murmured, tears streaming down his face. Then he began to cry, a voice that echoed with the deepest sorrow and pain possible ….

"Why? Why do people always fight and kill each other …? Why should people die …? Why…? Eternal cultivation is about living forever, not .. Why…?"

As he wallowed in his tears and grief, he could not help but ask the same questions as he had been asking ever since he started down the path of cultivation. Time passed, and his voice became weaker.

He only had the smallest remnant of life force within him. Bai Hao's departure had flooded him with grief, a grief that was not the type that could be eliminated with just tears.

And thus, grief builds upon itself, becoming a cold wind that extinguishes the last spark of warmth left in him. It became a tempest that sealed anything and everything….

At the moment before the storm sealed his own life, Bai Xiaochun gazed towards the gravekeeper, and within his gaze!

Now, he understood that, whether it was Du Lingfei or Bai Hao, the person in charge of how things had changed ….

He didn't know why the gravekeeper did all these things, but it didn't matter. There was no way he could forgive her !!

The hatred in Bai Xiaochun's eyes was something that had never appeared, or even existed within him!

He was a lucky man, with a simple heart. However, all of that was now engulfed by hatred, locked and sealed within his memories.

Gravekeeper saw hatred, and could feel the life force on Bai Xiaochun withering like an unkempt flower from grief …. The Gravekeeper sat there in the shattered pagoda, and he sighed.

If possible, he would not let Bai Hao perish. But even he could not save Bai Hao's soul after it became the fuel for the twenty-two-colored flame. He might be able to secretly give her a bit of life force in the end .. but she wasn't even sure if it would do anything.

"Bai Xiaochun ..." he muttered, his ancient voice echoing into the ruins of the third part of the city, which was scattered around him.

"Behold, even though I came up with this plan .. I didn't set every detail ….

"The reason why all of this is happening is .. The Eternal Forever Life Technique ….

"The eternal aspect corresponds to Yang, and the aspect of living forever corresponds to Yin …." Although his voice entered Bai Xiaochun's ears, it could not reach his grief-stricken consciousness.

It was almost as if the gravekeeper was not directing his words at Bai Xiaochun. It was as if he was trying to strengthen his own beliefs and convictions.

"Two of these Arch-Emperor's ancient manuscripts of magic were passed down over the years. Some are eternal, and some are distressing. Maybe both, maybe not. They represent .. hope …. " The Gravekeeper looked more ancient than ever at this time ..

“Unfortunately, one codex is hard to master. It was extremely rare to find someone who could succeed even among those with powerful bloodlines tracing back to the Arch-Emperor, let alone those in the current world, where the lineage is weak …. And even if one were to succeed .. they would not be able to combine Yin and Yang, and achieve the next breakthrough. Having mastered one codex, there is no progress.

“Processing Codex Life Forever after Codex Death will be difficult beyond imagination…. From ancient times to the present, no one has ever done it …. After all, the only way to practice such cultivation .. is to die first!

"The reason for that is .. the opposite of what is eternal, is the dead. And the opposite of what lives forever is what lives for a short time. Both are dead….

“The connection between what is not dead and who lives forever .. is death! But death is not true death. For example, the Blood Ancestor. He held his breath in the past to wake up today! " Normally, gravekeepers would not voice words like this. But now there is little need for politeness. Bai Hao was dead, and thus, the Hell-Emperor was dead. Therefore, the gravekeeper knows .. that the end of the world is near.

From now on, there will be no reincarnation cycle. The souls of the dead will roam the ground now that the Underworld River has dried up, and Bai Hao has died ….

As for the souls left in the river, they will be released into the world ….

“Only by experiencing death will someone who has mastered the Codex of Death build a bridge…. Only then can the person be qualified to develop the Live Forever Codex. However, to truly master the codex takes time. Too much time…." The gravekeeper sighed.

Time is not something that it has in abundance. He also had no way of predicting what other unforeseen circumstances could arise that would destroy his hopes and plans.

Before Bai Xiaochun, there was a Blood Ancestor. Gravekeeper and Blood Ancestor were only able to discuss this plan, not carry it out…. But now that Bai Xiaochun was here, and had mastered the Codex of Death, things were different.

He had given up on the Blood Ancestor, and focused all his hopes on Bai Xiaochun!

Because of this, and because of other important factors, the gravekeeper has adjusted his plan, and is now more confident than ever.

"Ah, Daoist Heavenspan …. If you ignore his crimes, he's really spectacular …. I will never think of his plan to concoct the Eternal Life Pill…. ” Gravekeeper closed his eyes.

He wanted Bai Xiaochun to take the place of the Blood Ancestor, to become a new hope. He wanted Bai Xiaochun to cultivate the ... the Live Forever Codex!

It will not be done in the usual way, but ... it will work !!

Even the gravekeeper was amazed by Heavenspan's Daoist plan to create the Eternal Life Forever Pill. It was a technique he had learned, and a modification! He had made a new plan, to plant a piece of aura from the Live Forever Codex to Bai Xiaochun!

That aura would be a seed that the gravekeeper could use to catalyze, and encourage faster-than-usual completion!

Gravekeeper opened his eyes and looked at Bai Xiaochun.

"In the end .." he murmured, "Daoist Heavenspan's desire to leave this world, and my way of thwarting his efforts, which forced him to resort to his last backup plan ….

“In his madness, he even sacrificed his own son…. And I .. will take this opportunity to make use of Celestial and Du Lingfei …. I will plant a bit of the aura of the Codex of Forever Life to Bai Xiaochun …. ”
