om, Fang Yu poured himself a glass of water and drank it.Nearby, Honglian watched Fang Yu eagerly."Would you like some too" Fang Yu glanced at her and asked."If you want to drink, just pour it yoursel...A figure stood in the air, less than fifty meters away from Fang Yu.

He crossed his arms over his chest, a smile playing on his face. Though not conventionally handsome, his features were sharp and defined.

This face, Fang Yu is very familiar with.

Extremely familiar!

It is precisely... Lin Batian!

Best friends who went through thick and thin with Fang Yu since childhood!

When the Heaven's Path Sect was destroyed, he was in seclusion.

After he left the customs, Fang Yu had fallen silent. He did not find Fang Yu and consequently ascended.

And Fang Yu also encountered the remnant of his will only after his true body ascended two thousand years ago.

After his will dissipated, it wasn't until today… that Fang Yu saw this familiar face again.

"Lin Batten..."

Fang Yu stared fixedly at Lin Batian, then... a smile appeared on his face.

It is truly Lin Batian.

When he discovered that the owner of this watchtower simultaneously mastered many secret techniques from famous sects in the Earth's cultivation world of the past, his mind had already flashed with Lin Baitian's figure.

Now, Lin Batian has appeared.

The master of this watchtower...is indeed Lin Batian!

At this moment, Lin Batten glanced at Fang Yu up and down, saying: "Apart from the white hair on your head, you haven't changed at all, Fang Yu. Look at me, I've changed a lot... much more handsome than before."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu also seriously observed Lin Baitai's face.

In fact, Lin Badantian's changes weren't very big.

Apart from his clothes being a bit more shabby and his face showing signs of wear and tear... there wasn't much else different.

Of course, if you insist... it's the aura, which is definitely different from before.

Seems more mature and composed.

But even seeing Lin Batian at this moment, Fang Yu still had a little bit of apprehension in his heart.

After all, this place is a harbinger of death!

Just moments ago, he encountered a perfect copy of himself...

Now encountering Lin Batian... might not be the Dead Omen's doing.

Whoosh!

And by this time, Lin Batten had arrived before Fang Yu.

He placed his hands on Fang Yu's shoulders and once again scanned Fang Yu's body up and down.

Then, he squeezed Fang Yu's shoulders hard with both hands.

"A real person... he's really a real person! I was afraid you were some dark creature in disguise... lest I be overjoyed for nothing." The excitement in Lin Batian's eyes and tone was evident.

He stared at Fang Yu, his eyes bloodshot.

For him, the last time he saw Fang Yu... was more than two thousand years ago.

After all, he hadn't received the memories of the will left on Earth.

At this moment, Fang Yu was also observing Lin Batian at close range.

Facial features, aura, tone of voice... Fang Yu was observing everything carefully, repeatedly comparing it with his memory of Lin Batian.

Soon, he was almost certain that the Lin Baitian before him...was not a disguise.

"Long time no see," Fang Yu smiled gently.

Lin Batian looked at Fang Yu, nodded, and then... the two shook hands as usual and bumped shoulders.

……

"I told you so, with your talent, ascension is inevitable, it's just... the place we met was a bit awkward, wasn't it" Lin Baitai shook his head as he and Fang Yu returned to the tower top.

"My ascension process was very unique…" Fang Yu replied, "It's different from what you think."

"Well, how you got up here doesn't matter, what matters is...you made it. " Lin Batian said, patting Fang Yu's shoulder with a smug smile, "Old Fang, look at this tower platform, I believe your experience just now has left a deep impression on you."

"Do you usually practice here in this tower" Fang Yu asked with narrowed eyes.

"That's right, look at this bed. It's so big." Lin Batian walked to the side of the bed and patted the mattress with his hand, saying proudly, "Back then, my master always told me that the path of cultivation is full of hardships and joys. Only through hard work and dedication can one achieve a certain level of improvement. One must never be slack or lazy."

"Since then, I have worked hard and diligently studied various techniques. Until I ascended and was sent to this ghostly place, all my life's learning... finally came in handy."

"This tower, it's the culmination of my life's work. It perfectly refutes what my master said all those years ago... Now, I don't need to find amusement in suffering, nor do I need to cultivate diligently anymore... Just lying in bed is cultivation!"

Upon hearing Lin Baitian's impassioned speech, Fang Yu wore a strange expression and looked at the bed in front of him.

He had been wondering about the purpose of this bed before.

And now, the truth is out.

Lin Batten... This guy is truly a genius. He even came up with such a lazy way to cultivate.

"All the spiritual energy is drawn from beneath this lake, pure dark magic. But through my carefully arranged formations, and most importantly, the sacred stone at the heart of the tower..." Lin Batian was still boasting.

"So... you just lie here and sleep whenever you have free time" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.

"What you said was too harsh. First of all... it's not that I have free time, but rather that most of my time is spent here. I only leave during the few moments of leisure I have. Second, it's not sleeping, but cultivating." Lin Baitai said, "So, I spend most of my time here cultivating."

Fang Yu looked at Lin Batian, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did you come here after disappearing from the Datang Star"

Upon hearing this, Lin Batian's expression faltered, and he looked at Fang Yu, his voice filled with shock: "How did you know..."

"Let's not waste time on irrelevant things. I'll tell you about my past experiences first, and you can tell me about yours briefly as well," Fang Yu said calmly. "We...need to exchange this information in order to have a proper conversation."

"...Good." Lin Bat also nodded seriously.

Then Fang Yu briefly recounted his two thousand years of experience on Earth.

Including later encounters with Lin Batian's remaining will, the subsequent rise of alien races, and the onslaught of the flood. Afterward, he forcibly ascended to Dayunchen Star, where he learned about Lin Batian's exploits from people on Dayunchen Star and so on. All these events were recounted.

And Fang Yu also gave Lin Bat the ethereal qi left by that will, allowing him to gain memories from that period.

While talking about his experience on the Big Dipper Star, especially regarding Lin Xinyin's part... Lin Baitai's expression didn't fluctuate as much as Fang Yu's.

But his eyes, they were definitely red.

"That's how I came to the Xu Yuan Realm, and then by a twist of fate, I ended up here and met you…" Fang Yu finished, taking a deep breath.

Relating the previous experience made him feel unreal.

Everything happened just as if it had been planned beforehand, one thing after another, interwoven and intertwined.

But no matter what, in the end... after arriving at the Great Plane, he didn't spend too much time or expend too much energy... he still found Lin Batian.

And Lin Batian fell silent after hearing what Fang Yu had said.

Although he tried his best to conceal it, the sadness and anger in his eyes were still very evident.

“I will definitely find a way to eliminate the karmic power from Xiumu, and let him recover.”.The other three generals glanced at her and stepped back a pace."Deal with this quickly, we still need to go and support Soul Lord!" General Mogan spoke."Don't worry, I'm best at killing these pretty...
