Chapter 2837: Floating Like a Dream
Translator: Legge
Just as Su Zimo was at a loss, his heart skipped a beat.
“Hmm?”
He had a surprised expression.
He could sense the existence of the Martial Dao Pri Body once more!
However, the state of the Martial Dao Pri Body was a little strange, as though he had fallen into a daze and had yet to wake up.
Su Zimo tried to call out a few tis before the Martial Dao Pri Body woke up slowly.
In the endless starry skies.
The Martial Dao Pri Body stood motionlessly.
Although he had already regained consciousness and sensed the existence of the Green Lotus True Body again, he still had a blank expression under the Mara mask, as though he was trying his best to recall sothing.
Earlier on, he was pursued by an Emperor of the Heavenly Court. Thereafter, he saw a white pheasant. For so reason, he seed to have suddenly entered another unfamiliar world.
The Martial Dao Pri Body tried his best to recall everything he had experienced in that world.
For so unknown reason, he could not recall most of the situations in that experience no matter how hard he tried.
He could only vaguely recall so fragnts intermittently.
It was a terrifying world that he had never seen before!
In that world, there was ignorance, black and white were reversed. The people living there could not differentiate right from wrong, were insensitive, cold and heartless…
In that world, the Martial Dao Pri Body lost all his strength and beca a mortal once more.
There seed to be an invisible power there such that no one could cultivate.
It was the sa for him.
There, lies were everywhere. Everyone who spoke the truth had to face imnse danger and endure countless attacks, curses and bites before they were drowned in the vast crowd.
In that place, ferocity and tyranny were ubiquitous. Every kind person lived cautiously as though they were walking on thin ice.
If they accidentally released their goodwill, they would be surrounded by endless villains!
It was filled with darkness and ugliness. There was no warmth or beauty.
There, there was no justice and evil ran rampant.
When he saw that soone was in trouble, he helped but was dragged into the abyss instead.
When he saw a group of weaklings chained and kneeling on the ground, whipped and enslaved, he wanted to stand out and remove the shackles on them.
Unexpectedly, the mont he stepped forward, the initially numb faces of the group of people suddenly revealed a ferocious expression and their eyes turned red.
All of a sudden, those seemingly weak bodies of theirs released imnse strength and sward forward, pinning him to the ground. They shattered his knees as they shouted angrily, “We’re all kneeling, what right do you have to stand?!”
The Martial Dao Pri Body was incompatible with this place.
He struggled to survive in this world and encountered obstacles everywhere.
He was covered in injuries but he never submitted.
He vaguely rembered that he had saved a holess little girl called Ah Xie.
In that world, he had saved many people, but only that little girl did not harm him in the end.
He and the little girl relied on each other and seed to have lived together for a long, long ti until he finally grew old…
He could not cultivate and his lifespan was less than a hundred years.
In his mories, when his hair was white and he was in his twilight years, that little girl seed to still be by his side.
It was unknown if there was a mistake in his mory or if it was for so other reason.
In his mories, the little girl never grew up.
Or rather, she had never changed.
It was the sa as when the two of them first t. She was equally thin and wore a tattered shirt that had been washed white.
In his hundred years of life, he had done many things that were incompatible with that world.
Even though he had paid a huge price, he was honest and had a clear conscience when he was old.
Every ti she saw him save soone, the little girl would watch silently from the side without helping or stopping him, completely uninvolved.
Occasionally, the two of them would talk.
On a certain day.
Ah Xie asked, “Isn’t it good to stand by and do nothing if soone is in trouble?”
The Martial Dao Pri Body was silent for a long ti before saying, “If I stand by and do nothing, I can’t expect anyone to help when I’m in trouble as well.”
Tm saving them, but in truth, I’m also saving myself.”
Ah Xie clapped her hands and smiled. “That’s a simple logic, but unfortunately, they don’t understand it.”
On another day.
Suddenly, Ah Xie asked, “Do you think they’re humans? If they are, why are they inhumane?”
The Martial Dao Pri Body was silent.
Ah Xie continued, “When they saw others suffer, they would either mock, add insult to injury or choose to remain silent. Why don’t they understand that they will suffer the sa pain one day?”
“They always have the ntality of being lucky and think that they can be spared. However, karma is cyclical alongside fate and retribution. Who can escape the cycles of reincarnation?”
Ah Xie said self-consciously at the side.
After an unknown period of ti, Ah Xie suddenly said hatefully, “They’re a bunch of beasts!”
In the boundless starry skies.
Suddenly, the Martial Dao Pri Body felt a headache and his body swayed slightly.
He took a deep breath and stopped recalling before the pain was gradually relieved.
From the Green Lotus True Body, he learned that only a day had passed since he entered that world.
However, he spent a hundred years and lived a lifeti in that world!
This kind of ti difference made him a little confused.
The hundred years of life in that world was like a bizarre and absurd dream.
The Martial Dao Pri Body surveyed his surroundings. His location did not change at all.
It was as though he had never left this place.
However, the Emperor of the Heavenly Court who was initially chasing after him had disappeared.
The Martial Dao Pri Body recalled carefully. In that world, he seed to have seen the figure of the Emperor of the Heavenly Court in a crowd.
However, the Emperor of the Heavenly Court was also a mortal like him.
As for anything else, the Martial Dao Pri Body could no longer rember.
Nothing in the surroundings changed.
The Martial Dao Pri Body clenched his fists slightly and murmured, “Is it really just a dream?”
Right then, he suddenly felt sothing strange in his palm. He only sensed it when he clenched his fist.
The Martial Dao Pri Body lowered his head.
Unknowingly, a white jade pendant had appeared in his palm.
It seed to belong to Ah Xie.
When he saw the jade pendant, he vaguely recalled sothing about Ah Xie.
To be precise, this jade pendant was the last gift Ah Xie’s father left for her.
Ah Xie’s father had passed away early and she did not have any clear mories of him.
Her only mory was the jade pendant that her father had left for her.
Ah Xie valued the jade pendant very much and always wore it.
When the two of them first t, Ah Xie was severely injured and did not seem to have long to live.
She asked the Martial Dao Pri Body to bring her to et her mother.
Initially, Ah Xie intended to give the jade pendant to her mother. She wanted to tell her mother that she was severely injured and might not be able to survive. If she died, her mother could sell the jade pendant in exchange for so money to bury her. Even then, there would be quite a lot of money remaining.
Unexpectedly, the mont Ah Xie said that she was severely injured, her mother’s face was filled with contempt as she waved her hands repeatedly to interrupt, “I don’t have any money, I’ve got nothing to give you to treat your injuries. Cripple, get lost! Don’t die here!”
“How can there be such a heartless mother in the world?!”
The Martial Dao Pri Body was enraged. He looked at the sickly Ah Xie in his arms and felt his heart ache again.. He carried Ah Xie and turned to leave, saying loudly to her, “Don’t worry, no matter if you live or die in the future, I’ll accompany you!”
