A World Worth Protecting
Translator: 549690339
âAre You Xiao Hu?âWang Baole asked slowly, staring at the elder before him.
âYes and no,âthe moon star sectâs ancestor answered hoarsely.
âI have followed you for many years. I was a devil and a sword spirit. I have experienced countless eras and traversed the galaxy. In the end, I was willing to die. I gathered a thread of immortal thought and followed you into this world to protect your dao
âSpeaking of which, many years ago, on the planet where you are located, I saw you once. I enchanted one of your Dharmic puppets and made it strange. I believe that over the years, it has helped you to a certain extent
âMany years ago?âWang Baoleâs eyes were deep in thought. After a long while, he raised his right hand and waved it. Immediately, a puppet flew out of his storage bag. This puppet⦠Wang Baole had not used it for many years. It was the first puppet that he had created, then, many changes occurred to the puppet.
âItâs this puppet.âPatriarch Yue Xing smiled faintly.
Wang Baole looked at the puppet and then at Patriarch Yue Xing. He couldnât help but have a strange expression on his face. He recalled his own puppet. It seemed to⦠have some unspeakable quirks in its so-called quirks, all the opponents who had been entangled with it in the past had been miserable.
This evil interests didnât seem to match the image of patriarch Yue Xing, who looked ordinary, but had a hint of a sage-like demeanor.
For no apparent reason, Wang Baole took a few steps back. He looked at Patriarch Yue Xing with a more serious expression.
âFellow Daoist, thereâs no need to be afraid. Before I died, I was still able to fight you. Now that my divine thought has been reincarnated, Iâm no match for you even though Iâve reached the third step,âpatriarch Yue Xing said flatly. Then, he waved his hand, two prayer mats materialized and landed at Wang Baoleâs feet.
âPlease take a seat.â
Wang Baole looked at the prayer mats cautiously. He scanned the prayer mats with his divine thoughts to make sure that there were no problems before he sat down cross-legged. Various thoughts surfaced in his mind. As he thought about it, he had completely understood the cause and effect of the agreement.
The agreement from sixty-eight years ago had been met in front of the cliff today. When he had arrived, Wang Baole had thought that he had already guessed the other partyâs identity. However, he now understood that his guess was both right and wrong.
He had guessed that the Moon Star Sectâs patriarch should be Xiao Hu from back then.
However, he hadnât expected that there was another identity besides Xiao Huâs. therefore⦠rather than saying that the sixty-eight-year-old agreement was to meet him, it was more appropriate to say that it was to invite Wang Yiyi to meet him..
That was because⦠Wang Baole could guess who the master was. It had to be Wang Yiyiâs father. The way the little master addressed him and Wang Yiyi emerged from the mask in Wang Baoleâs arms made Wang Baole realize that.., his current judgment wasnât wrong.
âUncle Xuâ¦âWang Yiyi said softly, bowing to the moon star sect ancestor before her.
A smile appeared on the Moon Star sect ancestorâs face. He stared at Wang Yiyi for a long time. His smile grew kinder as he spoke softly.
âYiyi, itâs time.â
Wang Yiyi opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something. However, she fell silent in the end.
Seeing that, Wang Baoleâs heart stirred. At the same time, patriarch Yue Xing shifted his gaze away from Wang Yiyi. When he looked at Wang Baole, he stood up, cupped his fists, and bowed to Wang Baole.
âThank you, fellow Daoist, for protecting my little lord.â
âThereâs no need to thank me for that,âWang Baole replied softly. When he looked at Wang Yiyi, his gaze was gentle. It could be said that⦠she was the person who had truly been with him his entire life.
From the beginning of their meeting until now.
âSenior, what is it that you have agreed to meet me here today?âWang Baole took a deep breath and looked at patriarch Yue Xing. He asked in a deep voice. He really wanted to know what would happen to the agreement that had lasted for sixty-eight years.
Patriarch Yue Xingâs expression was solemn. He remained in his cupped fist position and didnât get up.
âI, Xu, have invited you to meet me here for three things
âFirst, to welcome the return of my young lord and complete his soul. To complete the final preparations⦠for the final resurrection.âAs elder Yue Xing spoke, he raised his right hand and waved it. Instantly, the air distorted, fragments appeared out of thin air. Light flowed in all directions, and the sky shone as well. Endless light shone in all directions, turning the place into a sea of light.
The source of the Sea of light was the fragments. As they shone, the fragments gathered in mid-air between patriarch Yue Xing and Wang Baole, eventually forming⦠half a mask!
Seeing the appearance of the mask, Wang Baoleâs breathing quickened slightly. He took out his mask from his robes. Almost at the instant the mask appeared, a strong and dazzling light also emanated from within. It was extremely dazzling, the two incomplete masks seemed to be pulled by an invisible force. They slowly approached, and when they fused together..
The mask was complete!
There was no longer any imperfections. There was a shocking aura emanating from within. This aura was sacred and seemed inviolable. It seemed to be able to suppress all directions, causing the starry sky where the Moon Star sect was located to shake, in fact, it even affected the collateral saint realm.
âThis mask was personally created by master back then. It looked complete when it was first created, but in truth, there were cracks in it from the very beginning. There were seventeen of them, and each of them contained a wisp of the little lordâs soul fragment, allowing it to be nourished within. Once⦠One day, the mask is truly complete, and there are no cracks in it, the Little Lordâs soul fragments will be able to fuse with it and⦠be resurrected
âHowever, to make it complete, a special method is required. The main ingredient required for this method is⦠immortal bones
âOnly a complete immortal can form immortal bones in the body
âTherefore, the second reason I asked you to come here is to hope that you can obtain all the immortal inheritances as soon as possible and become a true immortal
âBefore that, the little lord will be by my side. I will maintain the integrity of the mask with my divine thoughts and wait for your success.â
Wang Baole appeared to be calm when he heard that. However, a complicated look flashed across the depths of his eyes. He wasnât stupid. On the contrary⦠he had experienced too many things, and he had developed a keen mind, he could sense the unspoken words hidden in the other partyâs words.
He didnât know what the other party was hiding, and he didnât want to pursue the matter any further. He lowered his eyelids slightly, concealing the complicated look in his eyes. His actions were something that even someone as sensitive as patriarch Yue Xing didnât notice, he continued speaking
âThe third thing is the rewardâ¦âjust as patriarch Yue Xing finished speaking, Wang Yiyi suddenly spoke up.
âUncle Xu, donât hide it from him anymore.â
Patriarch Yue Xing paused and looked at Wang Yiyi.
âI donât want to hide it from him. Uncle Xu⦠tell him the truth,âWang Yiyi said softly. If one listened carefully, one could hear her voice trembling. When she spoke, she didnât seem to dare look at Wang Baole, she lowered her head and walked silently between Wang Baole and patriarch Yue Xing. The mask floated in mid-air. As she got closer, she gradually blended into it.
Her back was filled with timidity and loneliness. There was also a deep sense of escape. As she blended into it, she slowly disappeared..
It was as if she didnât want to face what happened next.
Wang Baole raised his head. His half-closed eyelids lifted slowly. He looked at the mask and sighed softly.
âCould it be that just the immortal bone alone isnât enough to completely heal the cracks in the mask?â
There was no sound from within the mask. Patriarch Yue Xing fell silent as well. He looked at the mask, then at Wang Baole. The wrinkles on his face had clearly increased.
âYour fate is still in question.âAfter a long while, patriarch Yue Xing spoke in a low voice.
