The elderly man’s kindly countenance was reminiscent of the immortals passed down by word of mouth, untouched by earthly affairs.

Seeing this person, Long Xiruo’s expression suddenly changed, and Gui Qianyi was also instantly moved.

The elderly man gently nodded, “Long time no see, Lord Long… and Mr. Gui.”

“It’s you!” Long Xiruo was full of disbelief, “Heavenly Heart… Seventieth Generation!”

…

“He’s the Heavenly Heart Seventieth Generation?” Ghost Baby looked at the elderly man in the pavilion with surprise, couldn’t help but frown: “It’s said that the Heavenly Heart Seventieth Generation perished after destroying the Dragon Fiend, how could he be here?”

“Here is, the Tower of Myriad Ghosts.” Gui Qianyi seemed to understand something at this moment, looked at the elderly man in the pavilion, frowned: “Heavenly Heart Seventieth Generation, now you are just a soul, right?”

The elderly man in the pavilion nodded, “As Mr. Gui said, I am now just a solitary ghost.”

“You didn’t completely die…” Long Xiruo walked forward two steps, “Back then, after stabilizing the ley line riot, I hurried to the battlefield, but all I saw was your corpse, no trace of breath found… It turns out you hid in Xiao Shengmo’s place?”

The pavilion’s elderly man… Heavenly Heart Seventieth Generation shook his head: “Not entirely. After destroying the Dragon Fiend back then, my life force was truly cut off, my soul wandered outside and gradually faded, it was Lord Xiao who saved me. He collected my lingering soul into the Tower of Myriad Ghosts, nourishing it daily with ghostly aura, and now, decades later, I have slowly awakened.”

“Heavenly Heart Seventieth Generation, since your soul is still here, why haven’t you shown yourself all these years?” Gui Qianyi asked puzzled.

Heavenly Heart Seventieth Generation smiled bitterly: “On one hand, my soul is very fragile, I’ve been in a muddled state for decades, thanks to Lord Xiao’s saving, I’ve only recently recovered somewhat. On the other hand… The Dragon Fiend incident back then, was caused by a rebellious disciple, I am ashamed before Divine Land’s Daoist Fiend, now lingering on is a grace from heaven, how would I still have the face to appear?”

Gui Qianyi sighed deeply.

Long Xiruo calmly said at this moment, “Back then, you already gave your life to eliminate the Dragon Fiend. Even though it brought disaster, it still balances out the merits and demerits, so there’s nothing to feel guilty about or not.”

“Past events, best not mentioned again.” The Heavenly Heart Seventieth Generation shook his head, then solemnly said, “In the Tower of Myriad Ghosts, thanks to Lord Xiao’s favor, I was also able to know everything in the outside world… Lord Long, your situation is not very good. If possible, take my advice, more is worse than less, letting go is also gaining.”

“My affairs are none of your business.” Long Xiruo snorted coldly, “Why did you lure me here, for what purpose?”

The Heavenly Heart Seventieth Generation was silent for a moment, “Lord Long, do you know the origin of my Clothed Daoist sect?”

Long Xiruo pondered and said, “The Clothed Daoist mysteriously appeared two thousand years ago, proficient in mysterious arts of divination, calculating heaven, earth, and people without missing any details. Each generation of Clothed Daoist has only one official heir, always mysterious. But concerning the origin… no one has ever known. Strangely, the Taoism-cultivated field has many who understand the art of divination, but none can match even a tenth of Clothed Daoist, not even I can find your roots.”

“Lord Long, may we speak alone?” the Heavenly Heart Seventieth Generation said suddenly.

“Heavenly Heart Seventieth Generation, what do you mean by this?” Gui Qianyi frowned at this moment, and Ghost Baby also looked on with an unfriendly expression.

“There are some matters I can only discuss with the true dragon alone, Mr. Gui, my apologies.” The Heavenly Heart Seventieth Generation said calmly, “Please step aside.”

In the life of this person, within the Dao and Demon Realms of China, he held a significant position—because of Clothed Daoist’s special abilities, many times even Xuanyuan Palace had to give way… Don’t be fooled by the gentle appearance of Clothed Daoist’s heir, for the ability of Feng Shui Magicians is too uncanny, no one knows when they’ll be sabotaged by offending these magicians.

“Gui Qianyi, you and Ghost Baby take Pianqian to rest inside.” Long Xiruo waved his hand at this moment.
