James felt like he had gotten lost. At the same time, the exit also seemed to have disappeared.
However, he entered from the city gate, so why could he not find it anymore?
He had cultivated the Space Path and was proficient with it. As such, it was highly unlikely that he would lose his way. Yet, that is
exactly what happened.
James was puzzled. Eventually, he returned to the altar in the city center.
He sat before the altar and looked at it pensively.
Falling into a trance, James suddenly saw a figure appear before him.
The figure was blurry, and it was hard to make out the person’s appearance. novelebook.comJames could only roughly tell from
the blurred facial features that it was a woman.
“You’re finally here.”
The blurry figure spoke to him. Her voice was gentle but ephemeral, as if it came from far away or another dimension.
“Who are you?”
James stared at the figure in front of him.
He tried to distinguish the figure’s appearance but was unsuccessful.
“Everyone’s gone. I’m the only one left here.”
The shadowy figure parted her lips and spoke, seemingly talking to James but also as if she were talking to herself.
“Everything is an illusion. Nothing is real. What is cultivation, really? One becomes two, two become three, and eventually, the
three will evolve into a myriad of things. Cultivation is all-encompassing.
“Yet, nothing lies at the end of cultivation. Ultimately, it’s all but a fleeting dream.”
The figure spoke of things James could not understand.
James asked. “Who are you? What is it you’re trying to say?”
“Cultivation is split up into fifty. After discarding the other forty-nine, only one will remain. Cultivation is all-encompassing. In the
end, all things will reduce to three, three will reduce to two, and two will be reduced to one. I’m the final one, the unpredictable
element, Yukia Dearnaley.”
Emperor Jabari searched throughout the universe to find traces of Yukia. He never would have thought that Yukia was hidden
within the Dead City.
Yukia called out. “James.”
James looked at the figure and asked. “What is it, Ma’am?”
“Remember my words. It’s a hint to lead you to the truth. If you can decipher it, you walk in my footsteps on the path to truth.”
As she spoke, the figure started to fade away, and her voice gradually softened.
Eventually, she completely vanished.
James stood there in a daze and thought about Yukia’s words.
Her words were simple but hard to comprehend.
James racked his brains.
However, he could not deduce the meaning of her words even after pondering over them for a long time.
He knew it was information that Yukia had left behind for him.
Yukia predicted his arrival in the Dead City and even knew his name.novelebook.com Therefore, James assumed that Yukia had
already known about him for a while.
Moreover, he was currently in the Primeval Age. It was a long time before the age he was actually born in.
So, how was it possible that she knew about him?
Everything was a mystery.
“Huff!” James took a deep breath.
“Everything is an illusion?
“Find the truth? What is the truth?”
James shook his head, put aside his thoughts, and stopped dwelling on his questions.
He wanted to find a way out of the Dead City and head to the depths of Mount Nothingness to look for the Palace of
Nothingness.
James took out the Guqin again. A mysterious power emerged from the Guqin, thuy and the Dead City became translucent.
Soon, it dispersed into black mist that blew away into the surroundings.
