Chapter 0408 – The Mysterious Old Man Appears – The Absolute Return

Previously, the reason why he was unable to penetrate deeper into the Great Wind Valley was not only because of the strong wind, but also because of the piercing coldness contained in the gusty wind.

That kind of coldness was enough to freeze one’s blood, so he had to consume a large amount of internal energy to ward off the cold.

He had to fend off the fierce winds on one side and the cold on the other, and his internal energy was extremely depleted.

But now, he only needed to resist the gusts of wind, and he could easily move forward.

He had already taken the “Heavenly Opportunity Pill” and reached the realm of invulnerability to cold and heat, and with the effects of the Ten Thousand Years Snow Fruit, he was already able to ignore the cold air in the Great Wind Valley.

He originally thought that he could easily reach the end of the Great Wind Valley, but the reality was not like that.

With each step, the wind strengthens.

He was certain that no one could cross the Great Wind Valley except for those who were exceptionally gifted.

And he, too, is a gifted man.

After he was reborn, he had practiced the “Nine Wonders Demon Technique” and the “Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Divine Technique”, coupled with the efficacy of the Ten Thousand Years Snow Fruit, his strength had already far exceeded that of his previous life.

But even so, he couldn’t be sure that he would be able to reach the end of the Great Wind Valley.

“Those people, why are they looking for an extremely cold body?”

Jian Wuji said in his heart, “Could it be that they are trying to utilize the Extreme Cold Body to cross the Great Wind Valley?”

The reason why he wanted to go to the end of the Great Wind Valley was also to verify this guess.

But this speculation, it seems, does not hold true now.

Those people, they must have another purpose.

“Hoo hoo hoo …… is”

The gale was getting more and more violent, Jian Wuji could no longer think of anything else, he could only concentrate his mind and resist the gale.

His internal energy, rapidly depleting.

“Hold on, just a little longer.”

Jian Wuji secretly said in his heart that he was not far from his goal.

Just as he was about to lose his grip, the gale suddenly disappeared and the surroundings became silent.

“Could it be a hallucination?”

Jian Wuji was shocked in his heart, he was worried that he would go off the deep end.

If that was the case, then he had to stop immediately and return the way he came.

But this may be the final test.

He gritted his teeth and continued forward.

He believed that if he conquered the fear in his heart, he could conquer everything.

“Boom!”

There was a loud bang, and the gale struck again, even more violently than before.

Jian Wuji hastily mobilized all his internal energy and performed the “Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Divine Skill” to resist the gusts of wind.

“Just one last step!”

Jian Wuji cried out in his heart and took the final step.

He sidestepped the gale and finally came to the end of the Gale Valley.

“I did it!”

Jian Wuji’s heart was filled with joy as he finally defeated Great Wind Valley.

He looked back, only to see the gale rolling through the valley like a giant wave, making a deafening roar.

The source of the gale is from the sky.

A huge cyclone, descending from the sky, turned the Great Wind Valley into a hell on earth.

The sight was like a demon opening its bloody mouth and devouring everything in the world.

Jian Wuji finally understood why no one had been able to cross the Great Wind Valley.

Because here, it’s simply not a place for humans to get involved.

The fact that he got here is a miracle in itself.

He had already utilized his potential, to the extreme, in the process of traversing the Great Wind Valley.

It was as if he saw a new self, a stronger self.

This feeling is very marvelous, and it also makes him have a deeper understanding of the “Nine Chinese Devil’s Power”.

Jian Wuji turned around and left, no longer lingering on the wonders of the Great Wind Valley.

He arrived at a paradise, where birds and flowers were full of life, a stark contrast to the desolate scene of the Great Wind Valley.

It is as if this place is the Pure Land, full of mystery.

Jian Wuji saw that an old man, with his back to him, was standing there.

“Could it be him?”

Jian Wuji’s heart stirred as he thought of someone.

“Old man.”

Jian Wuji asked tentatively.

The old man slowly turned around and looked at Jian Wuji, a kind smile on his face.

“It’s you!”

Jian Wuji recognized the old man at a glance, it was the same old man who had sent him back to the past.

“As I said, the next time we meet, I’m going to buy you a drink.” The old man said with a smile, holding a jug of wine in his hand.

“I recently quit drinking, but you must have picked this time of day to show up on purpose, right? Are you trying to see me laugh?”

The old man laughed and said, “You’re much more cheerful than you used to be.”

“All thanks to you.”

The old man gave Jian Wuji a deep look, walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and said, “You’ve done well, I’m very pleased.”

Hearing these words, Jian Wuji’s heart warmed.

He’s been working hard to change himself and wants to be a better person.

He also craved recognition, especially from this old man.

“I recently quit getting drunk, so I’ll get drunk with you next time.”

“You’re leaving here?”

“I have too much to do to stay here for long.”

Jian Wuji was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that he still had a chance, to see this old man again.

“Phew ……”

A fresh breeze blew by and the old man disappeared.

The surrounding scenery, also changed, flowers, grass, trees, birds and animals, all disappeared, leaving only the snow-capped snow mountains.

It all happened so fast, as if it was just a dream.

Jian Wuji wondered if he was hallucinating.

But he vividly remembered the warm feeling when the old man tapped him on the shoulder.

“Old man, thank you.”

Jian Wuji said silently in his heart, “I will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations.”

“I rarely look up at the sky these days, is that why you came to see me in person? I’ll be looking up at the sky a lot, and I hope you’ll keep watching over me. Stop acting like you’re busy. And …… thank you.”
