My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

“The living are not worthy to see you? Or is it that you are already dead?”

Cheng Guang was shocked for quite a while, again somewhat unable to understand what the white-haired elder and the black-haired elder were talking about.

His understanding of this world was once again shattered by the two men, the white-haired elder and the black-haired elder.

Ideas whirled through Cheng Guang’s mind, but he couldn’t make sense of the situation.

In the silence of Cheng Guang,

the white-haired elder and the black-haired elder simultaneously fixed their gaze on Cheng Guang, as if observing him, and yet seemingly appraising him.

After a good while,

the two men suddenly spoke in perfect unison.

“Hei.”

“Bai.”

“I think.”

“This person seems to have died.”

“But then, it seems like he hasn’t.”

The two men spoke their final synchronized sentence, and afterwards, they exchanged glances once again.

In their eyes, both saw the shock reflected.

As the white-haired elder and the black-haired elder murmured to each other,

Cheng Guang, still in a daze, was becoming restless, barely able to hold back.

Dead.

But it seems not dead.

Isn’t this proof that I am a transmigrator?

Cheng Guang had been in this world for some time, but he had never encountered someone who could see through him.

The white-haired elder and the black-haired elder…

What in the world are they???

They can actually see through his facade???

Could it be they came from the Hall of Yama???!

Cheng Guang couldn’t help but ridicule in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn’t sit still any longer. He chuckled, “How can the elders say such things? I’m very much alive. How could I have died and then lived again?”

“I came to the Library this time and hope for the elders’ guidance. I’ll be on my way shortly.”

As he spoke, Cheng Guang took out the Thousand-Character Token that the Great Tang Emperor had given him.

Upon the reveal of Cheng Guang’s Thousand-Character Token,

the white-haired elder and the black-haired elder stopped their rumination, returned to their senses, and their gaze landed on the Thousand-Character Token in Cheng Guang’s palm.

“Thousand-Character Token?”

“Li Er, that damn cur, was actually so generous? He gave you the Thousand-Character Token?”

“Fine then, you can go straight to the second floor in a while.”

The white-haired elder and the black-haired elder said, then simultaneously turned around, their bodies once again merging into the wall.

At the same time,

the end of the passageway on the first floor, a heavy door that had been closed for who knows how long and was already covered in dust, slowly opened.

It was also at this moment that Zhou Qingxu’s voice appeared in Cheng Guang’s ear.

“Princely Heir, Princely Heir, are you alright?”

“Princely Heir…”

Zhou Qingxu’s voice started off very distant, then it became extremely close.

Cheng Guang turned his head to look around but did not see Zhou Qingxu’s figure.

This discovery gave Cheng Guang a sudden shock.

He could clearly hear Zhou Qingxu’s voice but could not see him.

Had he encountered some sort of ghostly disturbance?

All of a sudden, Cheng Guang felt a chill, feeling as if the scenery of the passageway around him was retreating at breakneck speed, like a fast-ebbing tide.

Cheng Guang felt dizzy and his vision blurred.

Instinctively, he closed his eyes, and upon opening them again,

Cheng Guang saw Zhou Qingxu, who had just disappeared, reappearing before his eyes.

“Princely Heir?”

Zhou Qingxu waved a hand in front of Cheng Guang’s eyes, filled with confusion.

“Princely Heir, why did you suddenly freeze? Did something happen?”

Cheng Guang snapped back to reality, staring blankly at Zhou Qingxu, his brows slightly furrowed.

“I haven’t moved just now?”

Zhou Qingxu nodded slightly.

“Yes, after I greeted the two elders, you haven’t moved a bit.”

“I thought the Princely Heir was distracted by something.”

Hearing this, Cheng Guang’s brows furrowed even tighter, “No, didn’t you just see the two elders?”

Zhou Qingxu tucked his hands into his sleeves and chuckled.

“Princely Heir must be joking. Even if it were not just me, even Xu Zhong, that fellow with the highest cultivation and strength among the Twelve Sect Leaders, cannot see the two elders.”

“Perhaps only the Emperor knows what the two elders look like.”

Saying so, Zhou Qingxu then turned respectfully towards the far end of the passageway and called out, “Elders, the Emperor commands that the Buddhist Robes be taken out and handed to the Princely Heir.”

Not long after Zhou Qingxu spoke,

a piece of Buddhist Robes came flying down from above, as if dragged by someone carelessly throwing it over.

Zhou Qingxu hurried forward and firmly caught the Buddhist Robes in his hands.

The mere touch of the Buddhist Robes made Zhou Qingxu’s complexion slightly pale, as if his aura had heightened.

Zhou Qingxu dared not touch it for long, quickly folding it up, taking out a jade box to gather it in, and only after ceasing to feel the aura of the Buddhist Robes did he slowly exhale in relief.

“Princely Heir, this is the Buddhist Robes the Emperor wants to give you.”

“You can take it with you for now and study it when you return. The Emperor doesn’t give just anything; it’s generally not bad.”

“Looking at these Buddhist Robes, they seem to also serve as a medium for the Fruits of Path to Divinity.”

“The quality is better than the majority of the Saint Dao Fruits on the first floor.”

Having said that, Zhou Qingxu’s gaze once again turned toward the end of the passageway.

“These Buddhist Robes come from a higher level; who knows from which floor they actually are.”

Zhou Qingxu murmured to himself,

while Cheng Guang took the Buddhist Robes, yet his gaze was not at all lost like Zhou Qingxu’s. Instead, he looked towards the end of the passageway, at the two old men lying within the wall, staring at Cheng Guang with a haunted expression.
