Chapter 483: Is It Worth It?
“Nine Lives.”
The gentle and elegant voice of the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord came through.
“What can I do for you, Celestial Lord?” Lu Ye responded calmly.
“I actually have some questions. You owe me a favor from your past life, right?” Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord got straight to the point.
Lu Ye paused for a moment.
“Can I say I forgot?”
On hearing this, Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord grew intrigued.
“You forgot?”
Lu Ye nodded calmly, “I really have forgotten.”
“Forgot Yin Qingcheng?”
“Yes!”
Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord fell silent for a moment.
“Even if you forgot, you still owe me a favor, right?”
Lu Ye…
“The favor only counts when I remember, right?”
“That’s true, but the reason I came is to ask how you managed… to reverse time?”
Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord’s voice strained as if burdened by immense pressure when asking this.
“It’s something you can’t do. It’s better not to ask,” Lu Ye confidently replied.
“Can’t do it?”
“Can’t do it!”
Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord went quiet.
After several breaths, he spoke again.
“Alright, then grow as quickly as you can. I can protect you when the time comes!”
His words were very direct.
Lu Ye’s expression turned a bit complicated as he pondered.
“Celestial Lord, is it worth it?”
Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Hahaha, what do you think?”
Lu Ye fell silent again.
Is it worth it?
Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord didn’t wait for Lu Ye’s response, and his presence vanished from the statue.
Qing Xuan Daoist was left dazed, tangled up in their conversation.
Huh?
What was all that about? Worth it or not?
Qing Xuan Daoist couldn’t understand, but Lu Ye certainly did.
Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord was now immersed in the Forgetful Emotion Dao, having reached the level of Celestial Lord. Ridiculous, he even wanted to find his wife.
His question about how to reverse time was really about wanting to go back to search for her.
That meant he was conflicting with his own Forgetful Emotion Dao.
Just because Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord casually came out and said a few words, he’d wasted at least a thousand years of cultivation.
This was no joke.
Plus, Lu Ye clearly told him he couldn’t turn back time, and yet he still clung to hope, thinking about protecting Lu Ye in the future.
What he envisioned was probably waiting until Lu Ye became the most powerful figure throughout history and then sending him to reunite with his wife.
Everything Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord did now was under the pressure of his own Forgetful Emotion Dao.
This was Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord in a state of forgetfulness!
Asking the world what love is, it’s something that demands life and death.
Even a Celestial Lord can’t let go of it.
To be honest, Lu Ye felt a twinge of envy.
It’s hard to imagine what kind of partner must possess such a hold over Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord even after so much time!
Lu Ye thought and thought!
Bai Qiulan, Shangguan Huanling, Yue Hongling, Vermilion Bird…
Damn it, no matter how he thought, he just couldn’t come up with it!
He really wanted to smack Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord!
To run from Nine Heavens to Six Heavens just to feed himself a mouthful of dog food.
Lu Ye and Qing Xuan Daoist returned to the Heavenly Gate, and without delay, Lu Ye dove into seclusion.
Time flew like a white horse passing a gap.
Cultivation knows no years.
In the blink of an eye, eighty years had flown by.
Lu Ye opened his eyes.
At this moment, his body emanated a chilling aura.
A terrifying feeling.
Especially his right hand, which was constantly enveloped by overwhelming power, as if a thousand giant dragons were coiling around it.
It was getting increasingly difficult.
Just one more extremity!
To be honest, Lu Ye had cultivated many realms, each one pushed to its limits, with some even reaching thirteen layers.
The weakest realm still had to hit ten layers to be considered settled.
But in the Nine Extremities Realm, Lu Ye truly felt what “nine as the extreme” meant!
Just one more extremity away, and Lu Ye felt he was at the absolute limit of the limit.
But right now, he could still charge forward!
Charge!
However, this time it needed meticulous crafting, requiring even more time for refining.
Lu Ye couldn’t even begin to imagine what kind of result his Celestial Lord Fist would yield in this state.
In the Nine Extremities Realm, many people—no! All people—develop equally, including his past life.
One reason was that simply strengthening one aspect consumed resources at an exponential rate.
Another reason was that even if you maxed out one aspect, if other aspects had weaknesses, sometimes before you could even exploit your advantage, you might be hit on your weak point and lose your life.
In his past life, Lu Ye enhanced his limbs and boosted one of them twice.
Then it was Qi, Essence, and Spirit.
So in his past life in the Nine Extremities Realm, except for certain aspects gaining significant power, the boosts in other aspects could only be described as average.
But now that Lu Ye had reincarnated, he understood.
For him now, with no weaknesses at all, he didn’t need to enhance his usual aspects. Even those were already at the top level.
He only needed to strengthen his strengths.
Make his strength even stronger, crazy strong, strong enough to crush opponents—that was success!
As for the rest?
That’s a joke. Lu Ye was already overflowing with desire, did he really need to enhance it?
Lu Ye glanced at the remaining resources—plenty!
Time to start the next enhancement!
Back into seclusion!
In the blink of an eye, another fifty years had passed!
Fifth Heaven!
A new name was rising in the Fifth Heaven—Listening Wild Pavilion!
Yep, Listening Wild Pavilion!
Inside the pavilion, it was bustling, with tickets in high demand.
Soon, it was jam-packed. Yue Hongling and Vermilion Bird were stopping those who wanted to enter, telling them to wait for the next batch.
Those inside were buzzing with excitement.
Why?
Simple—because they could know the future!
Inside, peanuts, melon seeds, and tea were priced sky-high, but that couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the audience.
“Finally snagged a ticket! This ticket is super hard to grab!”
“Yeah, I had to pull some strings to get it, paid double the price!”
“Wonder what they’ll talk about later? I heard what they discuss is absolutely shocking and definitely worth the price of admission.”
“Celestial Lord, the future—who wouldn’t be interested in that?”
Exactly!
Since Shangguan Huanling lost her source of income, she had been brainstorming ways to generate revenue. After many business failures, she was almost bankrupt.
It was then that Vermilion Bird came up with a brilliant idea.
That is, to sell the future!
In simple terms, they narrate the things that will happen in the future as a form of storytelling.
Everyone coming in must swear not to leak anything.
Who could resist the temptation of seeing the future?
At first, Yue Hongling was totally opposed, but after one profitable venture, she fell silent.
This… might actually work?
