Chapter 538 Supreme Lord of Dominance!
After lying down, Fang Yu’s body was completely covered by white mist.
Ye Xingxue looked at the spot where Fang Yu had lain down, her face showing only shock.
After lying down, Fang Yu first felt a chill, and then his entire being seemed to pass through a layer of nothingness.
Soon, his vision changed from pitch black to bright.
In front of Fang Yu was no longer a stone wall, but an extremely luxurious hall.
The hall was decorated extravagantly, with every corner gleaming with the light of precious gems.
Fang Yu stood at the very center of the hall.
In front of him was a high seat that required climbing a flight of stairs to reach.
Above this seat floated a substance emitting intense light.
It was called a substance because it was impossible to tell exactly what it was – it seemed like liquid, yet also like gas.
This was the true essence of Qiankun within Mount Qiankun.
Fang Yu walked forward, stepped onto the stairs, and began climbing.
But with each step he took upward, another layer would appear above.
After climbing more than a dozen steps, his distance from the high seat remained unchanged, without the slightest difference.
So Fang Yu leaped forcefully, attempting to jump directly onto the high seat.
“Bang!”
Just as Fang Yu left the stairs, a huge, flawless white jade palm suddenly appeared in mid-air and slapped him.
Fang Yu, as if hitting an extremely hard steel plate, plummeted downward and crashed heavily onto the ground.
The floor, made of some unknown precious gems, was dented from the impact.
“There’s a path yet you refuse to take it? What I despise most are people like you who always look for shortcuts.” A deep voice resonated throughout the hall.
Upon hearing this voice, Fang Yu’s face broke into a smile.
It was indeed that person.
“What kind of lord are you?” Fang Yu asked.
“I am the Supreme Lord Batian.” The other replied arrogantly.
“I bet you’re holding your head high while saying that, aren’t you?” Fang Yu asked.
The consciousness fell silent for a moment, then the palm in the sky suddenly pressed down.
“Bang!”
With a loud crash, Fang Yu was embedded into the floor.
“This floor is made of celestial blue crystals, yet you’ve damaged it so badly… Today, I won’t let you escape from here.” The consciousness said coldly.
“Look carefully at my face, Lin Batian.” Fang Yu said.
Hearing this name, the consciousness fell silent again.
Fang Yu stood up, brushed off the crystal fragments from his body, and looked up at the air.
“You are…” The tone of the consciousness suddenly rose, clearly in disbelief.
A moment later, a semi-transparent figure condensed in mid-air, descended, and stood before Fang Yu.
“Fang Yu!? Is it you, Fang Yu!?” This semi-transparent person walked up to Fang Yu, placed both hands on his shoulders, stared intently at his face, and asked.
“Yes, it’s me.” Fang Yu said.
“You, you… my goodness…” The other’s face showed extreme surprise.
This consciousness was left behind before he ascended through the tribulation.
He had specifically left a time-keeping treasure in this small world.
So he was very clear about the passage of time.
Now, it had been two thousand four hundred and seventy-two years since his ascension.
This length of time is quite long for humans.
Even a mountain might be worn away during this period.
Yet the Fang Yu before him was no different from the Fang Yu in his memory!
Fang Yu was indeed an immortal being!
“Lin Batian, you know my situation, why do you still look so surprised?” Fang Yu smiled.
“I haven’t seen you for over two thousand years, isn’t it normal to be surprised?” Lin Batian regained his composure and also smiled.
“It’s really… been a long time.” Lin Batian looked at Fang Yu, his face full of reminiscence and emotion.
Back then, he and Fang Yu were good friends… or rather, they had a relationship that was both teacher and friend.
About three thousand five hundred years ago, when Lin Batian had just embarked on the path of cultivation, he met Fang Yu.
The two had compatible personalities and became excellent friends, maintaining a very good relationship for the next thousand years.
Later, something happened to the Heavenly Dao Sect.
During that time, Lin Batian was in seclusion.
When he emerged, Fang Yu had already annihilated the Purple Flame Palace and then disappeared from the cultivation world without a trace.
Lin Batian went to the Heavenly Dao Sect only to find it burned to ashes.
Afterward, he searched the world for Fang Yu, seeking information everywhere.
After continuing for some time without finding Fang Yu, he had to give up.
At that time, his cultivation had reached the late stage of the Tribulation Period.
With his prodigious talent, ascending was just a matter of time.
Unable to find Fang Yu, Lin Batian went back into seclusion.
Later, he successfully broke through to the peak of the Tribulation Period.
He chose Mount Qiankun near his seclusion place, left a consciousness, and then his true self passed through the lightning tribulation and ascended to immortality.
“Fang Yu, what exactly happened between you and the Heavenly Dao Sect back then? Do you know that because of your disappearance, I almost couldn’t complete my mental state and ascend…” Lin Batian said.
Regarding what happened to the Heavenly Dao Sect, Lin Batian had heard some rumors back then.
But he knew that only what Fang Yu personally said would be the truth.
Hearing Lin Batian’s question, Fang Yu’s expression changed slightly, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
There was hatred, anger, and a bit of acceptance.
If anyone else had asked, he would have refused without hesitation.
But facing this old friend, especially after leaving without saying goodbye, he felt he owed an explanation.
So Fang Yu recounted what had happened between the Heavenly Dao Sect and the Purple Flame Palace.
“Bang!”
After listening, Lin Batian slammed his fist violently into the ground.
“Fang Yu, why didn’t you call me to join you back then!? Although I was in seclusion, I left you a way to contact me! If you had just called out, I would have definitely come out to help you!” Lin Batian was so angry his voice trembled.
“The damage caused by interrupting seclusion during the Tribulation Period would take at least ten years to recover.” Fang Yu said calmly, “Besides, I didn’t need help. Those scum, I could handle them alone.”
“That’s not the same!” Lin Batian shouted angrily, “As your friend… I should have…”
“Your true self has already become an immortal, why are your emotions still so volatile?” Fang Yu patted Lin Batian’s shoulder and said.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Lin Batian, unable to contain his anger, punched the crystal floor repeatedly, leaving it full of dents.
“I should never have gone into seclusion!” Lin Batian said through gritted teeth, “If I had been there, the Purple Flame Palace wouldn’t have been able to rush up to the Heavenly Dao Sect while you were being controlled, and Cold Xun Shuang also wouldn’t have…”
“Stop.” Fang Yu took a deep breath, interrupting Lin Batian’s words.
This memory was the greatest pain point of his life, and bringing it up now made the malice in his chest hard to suppress.
Lin Batian didn’t continue, just frantically pounding the floor with his fists.
He knew Cold Xun Shuang and was very good friends with both Cold Xun Shuang and Fang Yu.
When he emerged from seclusion back then, he didn’t know that Cold Xun Shuang had also died in this conflict.
He had thought that Cold Xun Shuang had gone into seclusion with Fang Yu.
It wasn’t until today that he learned Cold Xun Shuang had died at the hands of those scum from the Purple Flame Palace while defending Fang Yu’s Heavenly Dao Sect!
This completely ignited the anger in his heart.
At the same time, there was immense regret.
If he hadn’t chosen to go into seclusion, everything afterward would have been completely different!
If he had been able to guard the Heavenly Dao Sect together with Cold Xun Shuang, Cold Xun Shuang wouldn’t have perished!
This consciousness was left by Lin Batian at the peak of the Tribulation Period.
At this level, one’s mental state should be perfected, basically without major fluctuations.
But now, Lin Batian couldn’t maintain his calm.
Looking at Fang Yu before him, his heart was full of self-reproach.
He couldn’t even imagine what Fang Yu felt when he came out of the heavenly prison, saw the Heavenly Dao Sect burned to ashes, and learned of Cold Xun Shuang’s death.
“Those dog scum from the Purple Flame Palace!” Lin Batian’s anger was uncontainable as he slammed both fists down, cracking the entire floor of the hall.
Fang Yu remained silent, his fists tightly clenched, trying his best to suppress the malice in his chest.
After a while, Lin Batian finally stopped and stood up dejectedly.
He knew that doing anything now was useless.
“The Purple Flame Palace, they’re not all dead yet.” At this moment, Fang Yu raised his eyes, which were glowing red, and said coldly.
