Chapter 1746: Chapter 1745: Entrusting Little Black Bear to Ye Tianchen

[Seeking tips!!!]

Ye Tianchen followed Elder Bai Yi’s memories and saw the events of the past concerning Elder Bai Yi. What Ye Tianchen did not expect was that this old man was actually a member of the White Rabbit Clan, and over the years, with his cultivation talent, he could have broken free from the runes that suppressed him back then. However, Elder Bai Yi did not do so, simply because he saw through too much, too much!

Struggling across, in the Martial Arts World, all living beings are struggling across. Take martial artists for example, getting stronger step by step, surviving day by day. Those who can truly reach the Martial Arts Peak cannot escape the ultimate goal of attaining Immortality. In this process, one doesn’t know how much hardship they will endure, how many trials they will face, or how much blood and sacrifice it will take. As long as one is living, they cannot escape the seven emotions and six desires, cannot escape the greed of desire, everyone is like this. How many can see through it, and how many can transcend?

However, for Elder Bai Yi, these were not what he wanted, nor what he sought. When he was still young, the White Rabbit Clan suffered attacks from numerous Demon Clan members, and ultimately was wiped out by a joint effort between the Fox Clan and Wolf Clan. Bai Yi witnessed with his own eyes the massacre of countless fellow members of his White Rabbit Clan, bodies strewn everywhere, blood covering the ground. Even his parents died open-eyed in front of him to protect him. That kind of pain is something those who haven’t experienced it can never understand. In the days that followed, Bai Yi lived in dire straits, tense and fearful, living a life more painful than death, exhausting both physically and emotionally, considering giving up countless times. But whenever he thought about the annihilation of the White Rabbit Clan, so many compatriots dying tragically, his parents dying in front of him with eyes wide open, the depths of Bai Yi’s heart would not allow him to give up, demanding he must rise up!

Later, Bai Yi was chased down by Langtian but was saved by Qingxue, and lived with Qingxue in the Peach Blossom Forest. Despite Bai Yi’s rigorous cultivation over the years being very tiring, with Qingxue’s company, no matter how bitter, Bai Yi felt it was sweet. He felt as if he had relatives once more; the world was not so lonely for him. However, the events that happened a few years later truly broke Bai Yi. Of course, he never blamed Qingxue; on the contrary, he was moved by Qingxue’s true feelings for him. This was also because Bai Yi saw through the cruel and bloody nature of the Martial Arts World — what is the meaning of a lifetime struggle? In the end, he couldn’t even protect the woman he loved the most, couldn’t protect her well, he was tired, Bai Yi was really tired. If it weren’t for waiting for Qingxue to arrive, firmly believing Qingxue would come here to find him, Bai Yi might have already sat down in final meditation here; going out or not meant nothing to him anymore!

The reason Elder Bai Yi didn’t break out from Sealing Mountain, is because he didn’t know what happened later on Earth, why the Fox Clan and Wolf Clan people never came, nor did he see Qingxue again. He also knew, rather than rushing out to find Qingxue, it was better to wait for Qingxue to find him. He believed, if Qingxue were still alive and could come to find him, she would definitely come; only he did not expect it would be thousands of years of waiting!

Ye Tianchen also understood why Zhongnan Mountain remained in a mysterious state, no matter how Earth evolved, why the government could never succeed in developing it into a tourist spot. It was because Zhongnan Mountain had Taiyi Mountain as its center, with four other peaks surrounding it. In the abyss encircled by these peaks was a powerful formation seal, used by four strong members of the Fox Clan and Wolf Clan back then to seal Elder Bai Yi of the White Rabbit Clan. It wasn’t just for ordinary people; even someone like Ye Tianchen at a Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm couldn’t say with certainty he could break the seal, let alone a modern ordinary person.

His thoughts were pulled back, Ye Tianchen glanced at Elder Bai Yi suppressed under the mountain and couldn’t help but ask, ”Senior, if you wish to leave, I can lend you a hand!”

”Haha, no need. If I wanted to leave, I wouldn’t have stayed here for thousands of years. I see you are very talented, being the first person to find your way here!” Elder Bai Yi laughed, shaking his head.

”Senior, don’t you want to go out and see again?” Ye Tianchen asked in confusion.

”See? Thousands of years have passed, the entire Martial Arts World has changed, especially Earth, which has evolved to the point where it’s not suitable for cultivation anymore. What’s the point of going out now? Whether it’s the Fox Clan or the Wolf Clan, how many people remember the things of the past, how many people survived? Even if there are descendants of our White Rabbit Clan, I’m afraid they don’t remember me anymore!” Elder Bai Yi shook his head, smiling as he spoke.

”But...” Ye Tianchen still wanted to persuade him, not wanting to see Elder Bai Yi sit here in final meditation!

”I know your kind intentions; however, there is no need for persuasion. I already decided long ago that I would sit in final meditation here, it’s a fitting end. But I’d like to entrust something to you...” Elder Bai Yi said looking at Ye Tianchen.

”What is it, Senior?” Ye Tianchen asked.

Elder Bai Yi glanced at the three-year-old boy ”Hei Hei” nearby, then looked at Ye Tianchen and with a gentle smile said, ”Young friend, though I’ve been here for many years, my cultivation realm hasn’t improved, I still have some insights into Taoism. I can see that your path will go far beyond mine, and you have a kind nature, so I wish to entrust Hei Hei to you. After all, it’s only three years old, and can just barely transform into human form under my guidance. It hasn’t truly started on the path of cultivation yet. I cannot let it stay here always guarding me; it has its own journey to embark upon!”

”Senior, I can take Hei Hei with me, but I don’t wish to see you this resigned...” Ye Tianchen said with a frown.

”Haha, I am not resigned, rather I’ve seen through certain things. My life as it is, suits me well, but you are a person with great talent and ambition; you definitely must strive forward, cannot give up. The Martial Arts World is cruel and bloody, the true path and ultimate goal for martial artists are to attain Immortality. Yet throughout history, no one has walked this road. If you can walk this path, then you bring hope to all martial artists, benefiting future generations of the entire Martial Arts World...” Elder Bai Yi said highly of Ye Tianchen, smiling as he praised him.

”Senior...” Ye Tianchen still wanted to speak, but Elder Bai Yi interrupted!

Elder Bai Yi beckoned the three-year-old boy named ”Hei Hei” over. Ye Tianchen already knew it was a Little Black Bear, who fell down several years ago and was saved by Elder Bai Yi. Under his guidance, it undertook some cultivation and could transform into human form, though still young. Of course, Hei Hei looked like a three-year-old in human form, but actually, in the Demon Clan, it was ten to twenty years old!

”Hei Hei, come over here, Grandpa has something to say to you!” Elder Bai Yi smilingly called Hei Hei over to him.

”Grandpa, what is it?” Hei Hei asked with a somewhat childish tone.

”Look at this elder brother; he’s a martial arts expert, who can raise your cultivation realm higher. Isn’t it better to not be bullied again? How about going with him?” Elder Bai Yi said with a smile.

”No, I don’t want to, I want to stay with Grandpa, I want to be with Grandpa!” Hei Hei cried out as he threw himself into Elder Bai Yi’s arms.

”Haha, silly child, Grandpa is old, and able to teach you not much, while this elder brother is someone with great talent. He can make your cultivation realm much stronger!” Elder Bai Yi affectionately patted Hei Hei’s head.

”I won’t leave Grandpa, I don’t care about improving my cultivation realm, I just want to stay here, be with Grandpa!” Hei Hei cried.

”Silly child, you have your journey to take, and can’t let Grandpa hold you back. You can’t, like Grandpa, lose confidence in this world, lose confidence in yourself; that won’t do. The Martial Arts World itself requires striving across, requires rivalry. If I hadn’t experienced so many tragedies, I think I would have continued cultivating, definitely wouldn’t have given up pursuing the goal of Immortality!” Elder Bai Yi said seriously.

”But, Grandpa... if I leave, what will happen to you?” Hei Hei asked as tears continuously fell.

”Haha, don’t worry, with Grandpa’s cultivation, finding fruit to eat is no problem. You just need to remember, you must cultivate diligently, must become strong and accomplish the goal Grandpa didn’t complete, walk the road to Immortality. By that time, whether Grandpa is still alive or not, it will be seen, I will be proud of you!” Elder Bai Yi said with a smile.

”Grandpa, rest assured, I will return, and fulfill your wish!” Hei Hei tightly clenched his small fist and said.

”That’s good, remember, after going out with this elder brother, listen to him; he will take good care of you, I have entrusted you to him!” Elder Bai Yi said, looking at Ye Tianchen.

Hei Hei looked at Ye Tianchen, seemingly not very fond of him, not saying much. Ye Tianchen just smiled, this kid, this Little Black Bear, has quite a temper!

”Grandpa, you must take care, wait for me to return, wait until I am strong enough to return, and I will definitely rescue you, definitely smash this broken array formation!” The Little Black Bear said with resolve, gritting its teeth.

”Hmm, Grandpa will wait for that day, will certainly wait for that day, you must work hard, never give up!” Elder Bai Yi said with an encouraging smile. (To be continued.
