As the words fell, the dazzling white light dimmed. Yu Wan put down his right arm and opened his eyes to look at the place where the voice came from.
At this moment, she had returned, and her feet were still standing on the same spot where they were swallowed up by the white light in the cave that day. The unconscious He Peng beside her feet had woken up and was sitting cross-legged on the ground against the mountain wall, looking at Yu Wan with a loving face.
"Are you... Crane-senpai?"
Her previous experience made her not wary of He Peng at the first time. On the contrary, she still had a vague feeling of intimacy in her heart.
He Peng nodded to Yu Wan, confirming her guess. He had a smile on his face and narrowed his eyes to observe the gray-haired girl in front of him. After a long while, he nodded with satisfaction.
"You must have many questions. Sit down first. Although I don't have much time left, it is enough to explain all this to you."
Seeing He Peng like this, Yu Wan was not polite and sat directly opposite him.
Heng Ha at her feet seemed to be surprised by Yu Wan's attitude, and still stood guard by her side vigilantly, fearing that the old man in front of her would do any harm.
"Do you have anything to ask?" He Peng looked at Yu Wan who was sitting there.
"Senior, can you explain everything before? It should...not be an illusion." Yu Wan lowered her eyebrows and thought for a moment, and then expressed her guess. After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at He Peng.
"Hahaha, you are quite perceptive." He Peng held his right hand on his beard and laughed, explaining, "That... is indeed not an illusion."
The answer lingered in his mouth for a long time before speaking. He Peng saw Yu Wan's calm look and wondered how the girl could be so calm.
Seeing that he had lost the fun of teasing, He Peng looked slightly embarrassed. He wanted to say that with only a hundred years of work, are all outside monks so old? So he stopped talking and continued talking.
"I have cultivated the way of time, so it is extremely easy to reverse time slightly and take you back thirty years ago."
After the words fell, Yu Wan's calm face showed a little surprise, and she asked uncertainly, "Time?"
After asking, he added, "Why me?"
"That's right." It was obvious that Yu Wan's changes pleased He Peng very much. The smile on his face deepened and he continued to explain, "I got a drop of Kunpeng's essence and blood by chance when I was young, and later refined it by accident. It has transformed into 70%. Since then, I have improved my cultivation level as easily as eating and drinking, and I have never encountered inner demons even when I entered the 5th and 7th levels."
Yu Wan didn't know why Hepeng had been laying the groundwork for so long. Although she knew that Hepeng possessed the essence and blood of the divine beast, she didn't know that he had possessed and refined it so early. After hearing He Peng show off, she couldn't help but sigh at how lucky this person was.
He Peng had been observing Yu Wan while he was telling the story. When he finished talking about his past cultivation experience, he saw a flash of surprise in Yu Wan's eyes. He couldn't help but think that the girl's determination was indeed strong, and there was no trace of envy at all. meaning.
"But maybe it was too smooth sailing before transforming into a god. When I entered the transformation, I encountered a prophetic dream that is rare for thousands of people."
Seeing the confused look on Yu Wan's face, He Peng stopped teasing him and said in an extremely serious tone, "This precognitive dream is also a kind of inner demon calamity. Once you fall into the dream, you can get a glimpse of your future situation."
"If you can wake up in time, the more the better. But if you are trapped in your future in a dream..." At this point, He Peng looked at Yu Wan's eyes, "The longer you dream, the smaller the chance of waking up. , and may even be swallowed up by the dream, and the body will die from then on."
"After surviving the God-Transformation Thunder Tribulation as a monster, I fell into a deep sleep. This sleep... lasted for two hundred years. If it hadn't been for the help of the Kunpeng bloodline and the remaining blood essence that had been integrated into me, I would have never been able to sleep."
He Peng smiled bitterly, "I don't know what happened in the dream that trapped me, but I couldn't break through... It's a pity that after I woke up, I had forgotten about the experience in the dream. The only thing I remembered... was when I was about to die. He brought a silver-haired girl into his own time wheel."
"The appearance of that silver-haired girl is very different from yours, but I am convinced that she is you."
He Peng raised his hand to stop Yu Wan from speaking, and continued, "You are a very smart child who knows how to disguise yourself. Unlike me, who was brought here because of Kunpeng's essence and blood and his arrogant life. He was accidentally harmed by an adulterer and was brought here..."
"Fortunately, just like in a dream, you are really here."
In the memory, He Peng first felt sad, angry and painful, and then looked relieved. Although his cloudy eyes were looking at Yu Wan, they were actually out of focus.
Yu Wan had many questions after listening, but seeing him like this, she didn't bother him immediately.
After a while, He Peng's eyes focused, a glimmer of clarity flashed through his gray and turbid eyes, and he continued to look at Yu Wan.
"Born as an alien, you must have experienced a lot of supercilious looks along the way."
Yu Wan's eyes darkened as she thought about everything that Yu Wan had experienced before coming here, as well as the current rejection of aliens and secret dealings in the world of cultivation.
However, when she thought about the kindness she had received along the way, her heart felt warm. Her elders, classmates, and fellow Taoists she had made never cared about this.
Feeling the changes in Yu Wan, although He Peng felt sad, he was also truly happy for her.
"I have been ostracized by my own tribe since I was a child because of my strange behavior. Even after swallowing Kunpeng's essence and blood, I have not improved. It was not until I advanced to the ninth level of god transformation that the elders of the tribe recognized my status... Later, I was fortunate enough to make friends with the sheep tribe, but who knew that the other party would They just covet my alien bloodline..."
"That person is Gao Ying?" Yu Wan asked.
"That's right." He Peng nodded, "After I transformed into a god, I once went into a secret realm to explore and hunt for treasure. Unexpectedly, I was ambushed by my own clan and almost died. It was Gao Ying who suddenly appeared to save me and escape from there."
"Later, the two of us met to go to the legendary cave of the ancient demon god, where Gao Ying and I found some information about aliens. For a long time after that, although we were separated and experienced each other, we exchanged information through the Xinge from time to time. Heterogeneous information and interesting experiences.”
"This went all the way until I advanced to the Great Perfection of Divine Transformation and was about to prepare to ascend. Gao Ying suddenly asked me to discuss the secrets of aliens in detail. I thought that since the two of us have known each other for nearly a thousand years, it might be difficult for us to see each other again in the future. , that’s why I went to the appointment, who would have thought..."
"After being captured, I stayed in Room B as they called it for a long time, and then I was taken to Room Dunjia. That's when you arrived."
"That…"
"It's my fault that I'm cowardly. Those tortures were really unbearable, so I brought you to the moment before you entered the center." At this point, He Peng's voice became smaller and smaller. "After you came, I blocked your consciousness and soul, leaving only Give you the power to become a god."
"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be alive until now. Thanks to you swallowing all the black gel crystals in my body, I escaped."
After the words fell, He Peng lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake, not daring to look at Yu Wan.
Heng Ha heard that although he didn't know what painful experiences his master had experienced in this short period of time, it did not prevent them from hating He Peng.
The nostrils of both pigs were spitting white air angrily, and then the two beasts separated their bodies directly. The black Haha rushed towards Hepeng, while Heng opened his mouth and spit out a ball of colorless empty flames.
Perhaps feeling guilty, He Peng accepted the two attacks without any resistance. Then before Haha collided again, he waved his left hand to return Heng Heng and Haha to their collective state, and simultaneously handed out an object with his right hand.
Yu Wan took a closer look and saw that it was a palm-sized vertical harp, which was exactly what Gao Ying used to attack the soul.
"I got this thing because of you." He Peng said dryly.
After listening to it for the first time, Yu Wan was also upset.
Although she wanted to cut him off with a single blow, she knew that although the other party claimed that he did not have much time left, as a cultivator of the God of Transformation and still capable of using the law of time, he must have a back-up plan. It became clear just when Heng Ha rushed out without waiting for her to comfort him.
The attacks of the two beasts not only caused no harm to him at all. Moreover, with just a flick of the other party's sleeves, she was able to transform the two beasts back into their original forms without any harm. This was something that even she, as the master, could not do.
He had never used the divine pressure on her, but the aura he was faintly exuding showed no signs of decay, and she herself was not very sure of killing him and escaping.
Unable to defeat him and unable to escape, Yu Wan unceremoniously took away the vertical konghou magic weapon with his other hand as he comforted and rubbed her.
This will make up for part of the pain he has suffered, Yu Wan thought.
It was He Peng who had been telling the story before, and because of having been in his body before, Yu Wan could feel that he was not lying.
So after accepting the vertical harp, she lowered her head and pondered, stringing together all of this bit by bit. After a long while, he raised his head and stared at He Peng again.
"Senior He, what is that extraterrestrial demon?"
