#366 - Chapter 366: Blessings and Curses, Too Deep an Obsession

Li Ergou continued to descend, while at this moment, Wu the Blind had already landed at the bottom of the deep pit. It turned out that beneath this deep pit was an enormous underground world.

He led Xiaoxiao and the Snow Blossom Saintess, rushing forward.

The Snow Blossom Saintess, however, weakly said, "Blind one, where are you taking us?"

"Senior, thank you for saving me. Wu the Blind owes you a life. The reason I'm bringing you here is to find what my Martial Uncle Wuwei told me about.

Actually, no one knows that Wuwei Daoist was my martial uncle, and I am the last successor of our Rifting Sky Sect.

Originally, a hundred years ago, the third-rate Daoist sect, Rifting Sky Sect, suffered a tragic annihilation. At that time, Wu the Blind was touring the world, which is why he escaped the calamity.

The reason why Rifting Sky Sect was destroyed was because this sect, thousands of years ago, was a second-rate major sect and possessed the mountain-guarding divine beast, the Golden Light Silkworm. That Golden Light Silkworm, no one knows what kind of strange beast it mingled with, and produced a mutated Heavenly Silkworm Divine Egg.

The divine egg was miraculous. Experts in the sect deduced that as long as this silkworm was born, it would lead the Rifting Sky Sect to become even more prosperous.

Back then, in order to conceal this matter, the people in the sect swore not to speak of it. But later, somehow the news leaked out, which led to the disaster of annihilation.

The most tragic thing was that the mutated Heavenly Silkworm Divine Egg had not hatched out after countless years. The reason why Rifting Sky Sect guarded this secret was to hope that after the divine egg was born, it could lead the Rifting Sky Sect back to prosperity.

However, things went against their wishes. This divine egg not only did not make the Rifting Sky Sect prosperous, but directly led to its destruction.

But the disciples of the Rifting Sky Sect had already regarded this egg as their last hope. Even if the sect was destroyed, they did not hand over this thing.

Back then, I happened to see Martial Uncle Wuwei being besieged. When I rescued him, he told me this secret. Because of this, I was also hunted down by those people.

In order to escape the pursuit, I disguised myself as a blind man and stayed in this Heavenly Dog Town. Who would have thought that I still couldn't escape the calamity.

That is the last hope of our Rifting Sky Sect. How could I not want to rebuild the Rifting Sky Sect, so that the ancestors can rest in peace? It's a pity that the thing has been silent for many years, it's really the will of heaven.

I ate the Heavenly Blood Creation Pill, and now the vitality in my body is about to be exhausted. I won't live long. I just want to try my luck. Senior left a great formation here back then. That great formation is extremely powerful and can definitely trap this person.

In this way, you can truly safely escape from here."

The Snow Blossom Saintess sighed and said, "Why do you have to do this? The sect is already destroyed. Even if that mutated Heavenly Silkworm is born, can it save your sect? You are really stubborn and have too deep an obsession."

Wu the Blind smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, it's all the fault of obsession. But I also know that even if I tell them where that thing is, they won't let me go.

Perhaps from the moment I learned that secret, my end was already doomed.

It really is a matter of heaven's will, which cannot be forced. If it's not your thing, it's ultimately not your thing. Getting it will only plunge you into endless abyss."

He then looked at the Snow Blossom Saintess and said, "Senior, there has always been a kid following us. Who is he? Could it be that he knows you?"

The Snow Blossom Saintess said, "I don't know him. Perhaps he's just a greedy little shrimp, wanting to take advantage. It's just that this little guy is too ridiculous. A Foundation Establishment cultivator, even if that old guy Xuan Snake is forgetful, he can crush him with one hand."

Xiaoxiao interjected, "Huh, Grandpa, I seem to have some impression of that person. We saw him at the Gathering Immortal Pavilion a few years ago. Later, I also saw him parading on the street on a big horse, as if he had passed the martial arts exam.

Oh right, he seems to be quite famous in Heavenly Dog Town, called Li Ergou."

Wu the Blind was slightly stunned and suddenly realized, "So it's him."

Unexpectedly, the Snow Blossom Saintess also said hesitantly, "Li Ergou, this name is so familiar. I seem to have heard Changsheng mention it. My grandson loves to make friends. This little guy might have some connection with my grandson.

It's just that this child is really audacious, even daring to join in the fun of a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Wu the Blind said, "I think the Saintess doesn't know yet, this Li Ergou is still a legendary figure in my Heavenly Dog Town. He was just a martial arts apprentice back then. Who would have thought that in just a few years, he would be doing so well in the imperial court. Now he has already gone to Fish City, and I heard that he has become quite a big official."

"Oh, is that so? That kid is about the same age as my grandson. No matter how powerful he is, he's just a constable at most, right?"

Xiaoxiao also said, "But I heard news that he seems to be the Deputy Chief Constable in Fish City. I don't know how big this official is."

Wu the Blind was surprised and said, "Who did you hear that from?"

Xiaoxiao blinked her big eyes and said, "I heard it in the restaurant. Many people are talking about this."

Even the Snow Blossom Saintess was a little surprised and said, "What a remarkable little guy. He has become the Deputy Chief Constable at such a young age. If he doesn't have someone in the imperial court, this child's scheming and methods are extraordinary.

I originally thought my grandson was a dragon among men, but I didn't expect that there is always someone better. There are people beyond people."

Wu the Blind led the Snow Blossom Saintess and Xiaoxiao, while running wildly, the three of them chatted. Soon, the front became bright.

The three of them saw a huge rock suddenly appearing in front of them. This giant rock was tall and connected to the top of the cave, surrounded by huge cave bodies.

The strangest thing was that this rock constantly emitted faint colorful rays of light, flickering, as if there was something inside the rock.

Wu the Blind's eyes were filled with excitement and said, "The glowing boulder, it should be this thing."

The Snow Blossom Saintess was a little surprised and said, "Just a rock, could it be that the Heavenly Silkworm Egg is hidden in this rock?"

Wu the Blind nodded and said, "Yes, it should be like this. I won't remember it wrong. He told me that it's this rock, but this rock is not an ordinary rock. He said that the strange beast egg was sealed inside this rock by them.

Now I will break open the rock, take out the mutated Heavenly Silkworm Egg. After we trap that Xuan Snake Real Person, you take Xiaoxiao and the Heavenly Silkworm Divine Egg away. At that time, I will find a way to hold back the Xuan Snake Real Person."

As soon as he finished speaking, he put the Snow Blossom Saintess and Xiaoxiao down.

Xiaoxiao's face was full of tears and said, "Grandpa, Xiaoxiao won't let you die. I want to be with you."

Wu the Blind said, "Silly child, little birds always have the day they leave the nest. Grandpa is old and can't always be with you."

After he said this, his whole body surged, and endless power condensed on his fist, forming a thick layer of astral energy.

The astral energy was extremely fierce, and terrifying energy was transmitted out, and the entire space was creaking under pressure.

When all the power had condensed to the point where he could no longer bear it, he punched the boulder, and a dragon's roar resounded from his fist, hitting the boulder with a bang.
