Urban Undying Lord

Chapter 1899: Chapter 1918: I’m Just a Witness

"You seem to know a lot of secrets?"

Taichu looked at Ye Xuan in confusion. Although Ye Xuan’s Cultivation was much lower than his, he didn’t know why he always had a feeling that he couldn’t see through Ye Xuan.

"The Primordial was severed, the Primordial was bred. Even the number one powerhouse of the Desolate Ancient Era couldn’t break the curse; all Primordial beings died, only Huang survived. Do you think you’ll be stronger than ’Huang’?" Ye Xuan countered.

"Huang?"

Taichu’s expression changed, his pupils flickering violently, because there had always been a goal in his heart, and that was to catch up to the footsteps of ’Huang’. Yet he had never seen this legendary existence.

Legend.

Huang pushed open that Reincarnation Gate and disappeared into the Eternal Universe from then on. This legend had always circulated, but no one knew whether it was true or false.

"I can tell you one thing: Huang had long since cultivated to an earth-shattering, heaven-toppling level, but he still couldn’t break the curse of Reincarnation and Destruction. That’s why we keep destroying Divine Dynasties and seizing Primordial Stones, because only if more people reach the Nine Transformations Shocking Heaven realm might we be able to break the curse of Reincarnation and Destruction."

Ye Xuan told a lie that was neither too big nor too small, all for the sake of temporarily escaping his predicament.

"Why should I believe you?" Taichu’s face went cold.

"Then I can tell you another secret."

The next moment, Ye Xuan finally brought out a trump card.

"What secret?" Taichu asked blankly.

"It won’t be long before the Reincarnation Gate reappears. ’Huang’ will walk out from that gate and he will tell you that even after reaching Nine Transformations Shocking Heaven, you still cannot break the curse of Reincarnation and Destruction."

Boom!

It was like an eternal thunder exploding, as if the Heavenly Vault and universe were trembling. Ye Xuan’s words were simply earth-shattering, instantly shaking the Divine Souls of the three around Taichu to the core.

"Really?"

Taichu looked at Ye Xuan with a trembling voice, unable to believe such fantastical talk.

"I have no need to lie to you, because I want to make you my friend." Ye Xuan said sincerely.

"Friend?"

These two words felt extremely unfamiliar to Taichu, because from the day he was born, he had never had a friend. Every day, apart from Cultivation, there was only Cultivation.

Even his Master, the Mystic Sky Divine Master, had always told him that his future was Nine Transformations Shocking Heaven, to lead all Primordial beings to break the curse of Reincarnation and Destruction. The hopes of all Primordial beings were placed upon him.

And he had always cultivated for this mission. He’d never had anything like a so-called friend, and had no idea what a friend even was.

Taichu fell silent, and Ye Xuan no longer spoke. He believed Taichu would release them, because this was a destined encounter, not enemies ordained by fate.

As expected!

A dozen breaths later, Taichu put away the Binding God Rope. Three strands of Ancient Tribulation Light floated out from the bodies of Ye Xuan and the other two, and they finally regained their freedom.

"You can go." Taichu said faintly.

"You’re really letting us go?"

Xi Yao was stunned. She hadn’t expected that just a few words from Ye Xuan would actually make Taichu release them. To her, this was truly a bit unbelievable.

"In life one must have some rivals. I see that the talent of the three of you is no less than mine. If I really brought you back to the Mystic Sky Divine Dynasty, I’m afraid I would lose such rivals." Taichu said with a slight smile.

"Rest assured, sooner or later I’ll catch up with your footsteps. When the time comes, you and I will go all out in battle. I’ll make you understand who is truly the number one Primordial powerhouse."

Tai Cang spoke coldly. Clearly, losing to Taichu had dealt him a heavy blow. Whether for himself or for Xi Yao, he had to defeat Taichu.

"Very well, I’ll be waiting for you."

Taichu smiled slightly. To have a man of extreme evil and extreme nature as his opponent was also a kind of challenge for him.

"White-Robed Big Brother, why don’t we become sworn siblings?"

Xi Yao’s eyes turned, and she boldly came before Taichu, actually shaking his arm and acting spoiled.

"Sworn siblings?"

Taichu was taken aback. Looking at the elf-like girl before him, a trace of emotion sprouted in his heart.

Though he knew the girl before him was a little demon, she still stirred a feeling of tenderness in him, making him unwilling to refuse her.

"That’s right. As the saying goes, ’No discord, no acquaintance.’ Big Brother just said we could be friends, so why don’t we become sworn siblings?" Xi Yao said with a giggle.

"This...?"

Taichu stared blankly, unable to decide how to respond.

"Hmph, if you want to become sworn siblings that’s fine, but he has to rank behind me."

Watching Xi Yao holding onto Taichu’s arm, Tai Cang’s face was full of jealousy, looking a bit sullen, yet unwilling to show it.

After all, his Cultivation was not as high as Taichu’s. Xi Yao had once said that the man she fancied must be the number one person of the Primordial. He had never forgotten those words.

"White-Robed Big Brother, pretty please?"

When it came to acting spoiled, Xi Yao had already reached perfection. She kept shaking Taichu’s arm, which left him completely at a loss.

"O-... alright."

Taichu’s nature was simple. Under Xi Yao’s constant coaxing and pleading, he dumbly agreed. By the time he came to his senses, it was already hard to go back on his word.

Perhaps it was destined in the unseen Mingming.

The four of them turned hostility into friendship and actually became sworn siblings.

Ye Xuan was still the eldest; Taichu was second. Tai Cang, though dissatisfied, could only rank as the third brother, while Xi Yao became the little sister of the three.

"Little Sister, my name is Taichu, not White-Robed Big Brother." Taichu said with a smile.

"But Second Brother’s robes are whiter than snow, and your bearing is so ethereal and transcendent, that’s why I called you White-Robed Big Brother. But from now on I’ll just call you Second Brother." Xi Yao said, giggling.

"Actually, ’White-Robed’ is also a very nice name." Taichu’s eyes grew a bit unfocused, then he gave a free and easy smile.

"White-Robed!"

Ye Xuan had always been calm and unruffled, but when he heard Taichu utter these two words, his heart trembled slightly, and a subtle change appeared in the way he looked at Taichu.

"Big Brother, earlier you said the Reincarnation Gate would reappear, and that Huang would walk out from the Reincarnation Gate. Is that really true?"

Taichu came before Ye Xuan, looking at him solemnly.

"Second Brother, Big Brother was lying to you. How could something like that possibly be true..." Xi Yao hurriedly cut in, because she also thought Ye Xuan had been fooling Taichu. After all, such a thing was far too fantastical.

"It’s true."

Ye Xuan nodded faintly. Yet this one sentence instantly changed the expressions of Xi Yao and Tai Cang; they hadn’t expected Ye Xuan to actually be telling the truth.

"Big Brother, who exactly are you?"

Taichu looked at Ye Xuan with solemn reverence. He didn’t know why, but he kept feeling that Ye Xuan was hiding a great secret.

At this moment.

Not only was Taichu looking at Ye Xuan solemnly, waiting for his answer, even Xi Yao and Tai Cang were doing the same.

All along the journey, Ye Xuan had always appeared indifferent and calm, as if nothing external could disturb his heart. Even after they became sworn siblings, they still felt Ye Xuan was keeping a certain distance from them.

"Who I am is not important. What’s important is that the three of you will all become existences of Nine Transformations Shocking Heaven, and I am your witness." Ye Xuan said in a deep voice.

Ye Xuan paused slightly at this point, his gaze drifting. He looked up at the Heavenly Vault as a figure flashed through his mind.

In truth, there was one thing Ye Xuan didn’t say: he was waiting for the appearance of ’Huang’, because that was his former life. He very much wanted to know what exactly lay behind that door.
