Chapter 1483 - 1480: Mission

"So what?" Ye Qiu asked, crossing his arms as he faced the man in ancient attire, "Since this is how it ends, what can I change?"

The man in ancient attire sighed deeply as he looked at Ye Qiu's attitude, and said, "This catastrophe should be a shared ordeal for all people under the heavens; no one can shirk this responsibility, including you."

"There are countless people stronger than me. Why don't you find them instead of me?" Ye Qiu asked in perplexity, looking at the man in ancient attire, "And who knows if this so-called ending is true or not? Maybe you're just making it up to deceive me."

"Deceive you?", the man in ancient attire sneered, "Why would I deceive you? What do you have on you that's worth my deception?"

Ye Qiu looked at the man, and had to admit that the man's words indeed made some sense; considering his cultivation level, he really had no reason to deceive him.

"Then what?" Ye Qiu retorted mockingly, "Am I supposed to be some great hero who can save all people and stop this catastrophe?"

"You possess True Dragon Blood within your body; perhaps you can indeed eliminate this catastrophe."

"Haha!", Ye Qiu laughed at the ancient man's words and said, "True Dragon Blood? What True Dragon Blood do I have on me?"

The man in ancient attire looked at Ye Qiu with a calm face and said, "You don't even know you have True Dragon Blood within you?"

Seeing Ye Qiu's face full of confusion, the man in ancient attire felt a sense of powerlessness and was speechless at how True Dragon Blood could reside in such an ordinary person.

"Aren't you curious why you could master Divinity Transformation Earth Realm so quickly?"

Hearing the man in ancient attire's words, Ye Qiu indeed felt somewhat puzzled, as the advancement of his Inner Strength was indeed faster than ordinary people. He always thought it was due to his talent, but didn't expect the man to say his body contained True Dragon Blood.

"Regardless of whether you belong to the Hidden Clan, the True Dragon Blood within you is real; you must now continuously improve your cultivation to organize everyone and jointly resist this catastrophe."

Suddenly assigned such a mission, Ye Qiu was dumbfounded, looking at the man in ancient attire and said, "Is what you're saying true?"

The man in ancient attire sighed deeply again as he looked at Ye Qiu and suddenly seemed impatient, delivering a palm strike at Ye Qiu.

The man in ancient attire's cultivation level was much higher than Ye Qiu's, and with this palm, Ye Qiu had no strength to dodge; he could only watch as the palm wind rushed towards his face.

Instead of the expected injury, Ye Qiu was directly flipped to the ground by the palm wind and fell back into the water.

"If you've come to your senses, listen to me; if not, I will make you come to your senses again." The man in ancient attire said impatiently to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu didn't expect this ancient man's temper to be so fiery, quick to resort to action without trying to reason.

Spitting out the sea water from his mouth, Ye Qiu said to the man in ancient attire, "Alright, alright, continue."

"What I say now, you must remember word for word." The ancient man said to Ye Qiu, "You must go to Kunlun Mountain and find a Profound Celestial Ice Sword, a sword capable of slaying everything. Your most important task now is to find this sword and use it."

"And you?" Ye Qiu started to ask, then saw the man's impatient expression and continued, "How do I find this sword?"

"The Profound Celestial Ice Sword is hidden in Kunlun Mountain, the purest place in this world. Only by finding that place can you find the Profound Celestial Ice Sword."

"So finding the Profound Celestial Ice Sword can stop this catastrophe?" Ye Qiu asked the man in ancient attire.

To his surprise, the man in ancient attire shook his head and said, "Of course not; this formidable catastrophe can't be stopped by just a Profound Celestial Ice Arrow."

"Then why do you want me to find this sword?"

"You need to find not just the Profound Celestial Ice Sword but also the Jade Mountain Kunlun Mirror."

"Jade Mountain Kunlun Mirror?", Ye Qiu asked the man in ancient attire in confusion, "What is this Jade Mountain Kunlun Mirror used for?"

"Within the Jade Mountain Kunlun Mirror is unlimited space where, in moments of difficulty, it can absorb everything from the world. Once you find it, you can absorb the devastating Spiritual Power erupting like a volcano into it and completely stop the catastrophe."

Ye Qiu pondered and said to the ancient man, "In that case, why don't I just focus on finding the Jade Mountain Kunlun Mirror?"

The man in ancient attire sneered at Ye Qiu, "Do you think that while some want to stop the catastrophe, no one desires its occurrence? Those who have been awaiting their immortality day and night have been impatiently longing for this catastrophe."

The man in ancient attire looked at Ye Qiu, "Once you have the Profound Celestial Ice Sword, you possess the power to slay everything. If anyone seeks to stop you from halting the catastrophe, they'll have to weigh their capabilities."

Upon hearing the man in ancient attire's words, Ye Qiu nodded in realization, "So am I the only one who can do this?"

The man in ancient attire slowly nodded and said, "If I suddenly disappear, many will notice. Only you can go without drawing attention from others."

Hearing this, Ye Qiu couldn't help but feel speechless; the ancient man was essentially emphasizing his own importance.

"Kunlun Mountain is so far away; how can I go alone?" Ye Qiu said to the man in ancient attire, clearly unwilling.

"This is not up to you to choose," the ancient man replied to Ye Qiu, "This is the mission you must accomplish. Do you want to watch the living beings of this world perish due to this catastrophe?"

"Think about the ordinary people among whom are your friends, your lovers, your family; can you disregard them? You must do it."

The man in ancient attire's words immediately reminded Ye Qiu, as his arrogance made him hold a dissenting attitude towards the man. But now, his words were a jolt to Ye Qiu's mind,

Indeed, Ye Qiu has loved ones, and Bai Lan. In any case, he must not let Bai Lan suffer any harm.
