I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 1290 1289 Entering the Realm of Life and Death

“Where are you from?” Ge Changyun asked.

“I have no background, you don’t need to be afraid,” Xu Zimei said with a smile.

Ge Changyun snorted coldly, ignored Xu Zimei, and turned to Shu Hai saying, “We need to transport this person to the Capital City.

As for you, wait for the empire’s orders for now.”

“If there is a legacy, give it to Grand Tutor Ge, there’s no need to lose your life over a legacy,” Shu Hai advised Xu Zimei.

He actually knew that if he went to the Capital City, his life and death would no longer be in Xu Zimei’s hands.

It’s like an extremely dangerous place, and more than that.

“What about Wu Zhaodi and Shu Long?” Xu Zimei asked with a smile.

“They returned with me,” Shu Long said.

“Shu Long is my son, so he will stay in Shuyang County.

But Wu Zhaodi with you, probably has to take a trip to the Capital City.”

“Having someone accompanying you, at least the journey won’t be lonely,” Xu Zimei said with a smile.

“You,” Shu Hai shook his head and sighed.

……

The group of blue-robed people didn’t stay long in Shuyang County. In the afternoon, they escorted Xu Zimei and Wu Zhaodi away towards Heavenly Dragon City.

Their treatment wasn’t great, tied to a horse, the reins held by Ge Changyun.

The crowd left Shuyang County in haste.

“With your strength, you shouldn’t fear them so,” Wu Zhaodi said, tied to the horse, looking at Xu Zimei.

“I’m not afraid, I just happen to want to see some old friends,” Xu Zimei replied.

“Are there people you know in the Heavenly Dragon Empire?” Wu Zhaodi asked in surprise.

“You’ll know when we get there,” Xu Zimei replied.

“You’re acting mysterious all day,” Wu Zhaodi muttered.

“I may be mysterious, but there are people who don’t even dare to reveal their own identity,” Xu Zimei replied.

“It doesn’t hurt to tell you, you should have guessed it yourself,” Wu Zhaodi said.

“You come from Tianluan Immortal Palace?” Xu Zimei asked.

“That’s my home, my mother is the Palace Master,” Wu Zhaodi said slowly after a long silence.

“Later your mother was harmed by villains, and then you escaped the palace, carrying deep hatred from the Sea of Blood?” Xu Zimei retorted.

“How do you know?” Wu Zhaodi asked in shock.

“I’ve seen many such stories; they’re all like this,” Xu Zimei shook his head and said.

“Apart from deep hatred from the Sea of Blood, what other feuds are there in this world?”

“My mother was kind to that person, yet that person repaid kindness with enmity, joining others,” Wu Zhaodi’s eyes reddened, clearly reluctant to recall the event.

“What’s the strength of your palace’s strongest?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Great Saint, I think, but I’m not sure,” Wu Zhaodi replied.

“My mother once told me, the strongest ancestor of the palace closed in death thousands of years ago, and nothing has been heard of him.

Many believe he’s dead.”

“For you, now in the Divine Vein Realm, revenge is probably very difficult,” Xu Zimei said.

His words weren’t meant to discourage; above the Divine Vein Realm, there are five realms of the Great Emperor.

For someone as exceptional as him, even in the Great Emperor Realm, it requires a long time of grinding, not to mention Wu Zhaodi.

And at that time, nobody knows what changes might occur at Tianluan Immortal Palace.

“So what, have you heard, as long as there’s breath, never give up,” Wu Zhaodi said.

Xu Zimei didn’t argue, after all, hatred can motivate anyone, regardless of being weak or strong.

The fierce horse galloped on the official road, without stopping for a day and night, showing that this time Ge Changyun is on a mission and wants to return to the Capital City as soon as possible.

Although the horse was fast, the ride was very stable.

Xu Zimei didn’t bother with other matters, as if dozing off, his Divine Soul entered the Divine Continent.

He came again to the tree at the junction of the Tree of Life and Death and the Flower of Death.

This tree probably never appeared before, so Xu Zimei gave it a new name.

Called “Tree of Life and Death.”

Though the name is somewhat uncouth, it’s concise, easily expressing its purpose.

Sitting in front of the Tree of Life and Death, the abstruse aura of the tree grew heavier with time.

And as Xu Zimei’s understanding of the Realm of Life and Death deepened, he felt he was close to reaching that realm.

Like only a thin barrier, one light tap would break it.

The aura of life and death permeated this realm.

Xu Zimei sat solemnly with folded legs, feeling as if he was about to merge with this world as time passed.

The Realm of Life and Death must be glimpsed in life and death.

Just as seeing one spot can reveal the whole body, that’s the logic.

The spiritual energy within him circulated continuously through the Extraordinary Meridians and the opened Vein Gates.

A Grand Circulation and countless Small Circulations.

This is the fourth realm of the Great Emperor’s five realms.

His aura became increasingly strange, sometimes full of life, sometimes shrouded in death.

Constantly wandering between life and death.

At a certain moment, as if a shackle was broken, there came a muffled sound from Xu Zimei’s body.

Following that, a powerful force erupted, the Qi of Life and Death swirling like the Yin and Yang airflow of Tai Ji, soaring up to ninety thousand miles.

“Life and Death, the supreme principle of heaven and earth,” Xu Zimei murmured.

Only one step away from Heaven Venerable.

The airflow within him grew stronger, every time the spiritual energy circulated, as if whistling, like waves crashing.

Upon closer inspection, it was apparent that Xu Zimei’s bones were colorless, and his blood was gradually tending towards colorlessness.

Colorlessness is the color of Chaos.

Chaos is formless and colorless, the core essence of this world’s origin.

Almost every cultivator ultimately approaches Chaos.

Xu Zimei slowly opened his eyes, one alive, the other dead, an extraordinary feeling.

As if the life and death lines of every creature on earth were flickering, a wondrous sight.

Rising from beneath the Tree of Life and Death, Xu Zimei let out a long breath.

In an instant, his aura gathered, like an ordinary person.

Unless facing a stronger opponent, none would see through him.

Moreover, he was inherently special, with profound meaning transforming into principles, now the power of laws is even stronger.

Like the difference between a stream and a river.

“It’s about time we reach Heavenly Dragon City,” Xu Zimei mused.

The Realm of Life and Death achieved, he left the Divine Continent, returning to the outside world.

On horseback, Wu Zhaodi saw him asleep and was making faces.

Xu Zimei suddenly opened his eyes, startling Wu Zhaodi.

“What were you doing?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Someone certainly can sleep quite well without worrying about their situation at all,” Wu Zhaodi said.
