I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 148 - 85: Tantai Yao and Ji Han! Jixia Reshapes His Cultivation, Breaking Through Two Realms in One Night! (Part 2)

As he finished speaking, Ji Han's pupils slightly contracted and were immediately detected by the keen senses of the grey-clad figure.

At that moment, his eyes gleamed with a touch of curiosity as he clicked his tongue in wonder:

"Don't worry, I won't stoop so low as to harm a youngster like you."

"If you are truly from the Divine Blood Sect, intending to concoct something, as long as it's not in the regions of Wutong Prefecture or Black Mountain City, I won't interfere."

"After all, this place can be considered my hometown..."

"The reason I'm here in Wutong is just to, before my end, alas..."

Looking towards Zither Sword Mountain, the originally mysterious grey-clad figure in Ji Han's eyes suddenly fell silent and self-mockingly said:

"In my life, before the age of thirty, I was full of spirit, once believing that nothing in the world was unattainable."

"But the latter half of my life turned out to be nothing but a messy, absurd affair!"

His tone was filled with a sense of desolation. Looking at Ji Han in front of him, he inexplicably felt a slight affinity.

Actually, if I elaborate further.

In my life, I've never looked down on 'Half-Demons.'

A long, long time ago, when I was about thirty-something years old.

I personally nurtured a renowned Celestial Pride, said to have caused great upheaval in this Baoping State.

I thought that after a life of wandering, I could finally seize the opportunity for great revenge.

But fate never makes sense.

Even when I traveled to Tongye State, the road was still not smooth.

For decades, I've had highs and lows.

Until finally, I failed in a 'Dao competition,' unable to achieve the 'fourth step.'

And with my Primordial Pill dimming, and years of fierce battles, life-and-death struggles, it has cracked, leaving me with not many good years ahead.

Dragging my half-empty sleeve.

Thinking of when I stood at the foot of Zither Sword Mountain and saw the once 'Mountain Gate' revived and flourishing.

I've heard that decades ago, under the leadership of 'Xu Nian,' the Sect Leader, they regained the prestige of a 'famous sect.'

That extinguished my desire to return.

I originally planned to continue north, through what was once the broken Demon-Suppressing Great Wall, and into the Northwest Wilderness,

to seek out the Ancestral Court of the 'Jing River Dragon Court,' find the Flood Dragon said to have embarked on the 'Dragon Transformation Path,' and in recent years, stepped into the fourth step, to duel with my life and seek revenge.

Unexpectedly, at the foot of Zither Sword Mountain, I was drawn by a letter under the banner of 'Xie Mansion.'

Inside the envelope, a young man named 'Jixia' wrote a letter to Master Xie Qiaoxuan of the Wutong Prefecture Xie Family.

The letter dared to use the name 'Tantai Yao,' how amusing.

Doesn't he know that one of the names Xie Qiaoxuan hates most in his life is Tantai Yao?

Moreover, Black Mountain is said to be the burial ground of a junior I once personally nurtured.

With a thought, I originally planned to clarify this before heading north, to see who dares to dredge up my long-forgotten name after all these years.

As a result, I encountered Ji Han.

Thus, the one-armed grey-clad figure developed a fondness for talent:

"Let's not dwell on the past."

"Meeting you today is a matter of fate, you... you remind me of a young man I once trained."

"How about this, you do one thing for me, and I'll help you resolve your hidden troubles, how does that sound?"

Ji Han's spirits lifted, feeling like he found a ray of hope:

He was just about to agree but suddenly thought of his brother 'Jixia,' and thus looked towards the direction of the Black Mountain Government Office, feeling hesitant:

"This... not to mention one thing, even if it's five or ten things, if it can resolve my problems, I won't hesitate at your command, senior."

"But my brother went to the Black Mountain Government Office, he might cause trouble, I'm afraid..."

Hearing this, the grey-clad figure slightly closed his eyes, and the Divine Soul roamed from the Forehead Ancestral Acupoint, traversing Black Mountain streets until it covered the vast Black Mountain Government Office, before returning.

Shortly thereafter, in less than half a stick of incense's time, he reopened his eyes before Ji Han and said:

"Rest assured."

"The government office in your city is peaceful, no aura similar to yours appeared, let alone any accidents."

"Why exactly did your brother go to the Black Mountain Government Office?"

Hearing the man's words, Ji Han breathed a huge sigh of relief:

"Is that so... then he should have already left, thank you for informing me, senior!"

For a moment, faced with such an unfathomable existence, Ji Han only felt awe in his heart.

Half a Black Mountain apart!

With just a moment of soul roaming, he could scout such a distant place...

Though 'Carefree Realm' experts are said to forge the Divine Soul and can 'command soldiers' through divine techniques to fight and kill enemies, it's not supposed to be this astounding!

The person before me is indeed unfathomable!

"By the way, what is your name, senior, how should I address you?"

"With such supernatural abilities... can you even need someone like me, a Foundation Establishment Martial Artist?"

As dusk approached and night was about to fall.

Before departing from this mighty martial artist who seemed capable of resolving his 'situation.'

Ji Han curiously asked.

"My name, hmm..."

"I haven't returned for decades, I suppose by now, a few people remember it."

The man smiled self-deprecatingly:

"It's nothing, what I'm asking you to do is a small task."

"It's just that a 'timid one' dares not 'revisit old haunts,' so I want to entrust you to deliver something, that's all."

"Moreover, if circumstances allow, after I'm buried, should you one day reach the third step, help look after 'Zither Sword Mountain,' that would be enough to repay this spontaneous guidance of mine."

"As for my name..."

"My surname is Tantai, and my given name is only 'Yao.'
