Had he… become a spirit?

Upon hearing this short sentence, Gu Xi instantly tensed up. Powerful spiritual power instantly burst out from his body and shot towards the back. At the same time, his entire body retreated a thousand feet.

Facing Gu Xi’s sudden attack, the skeleton merely raised its head and waved it casually to neutralize it. It was extremely relaxed.

Only when it was more than a thousand feet away from the skeleton did Gu Xi finally heave a sigh of relief.

“If you like, you can take all these things.”

As the skeleton opened and closed its mouth, its words came again. It looked very strange.

“Who exactly are you?” Gu Xi spoke in a deep voice. Taking this opportunity, he was trying his best to recover the spiritual energy that he had consumed previously. At the same time, he was keeping his eyes and ears open, ready to run away at any time.

At this moment, he no longer had any interest in these treasures. After all, this skeleton could speak human language. Whether he could walk out of this place alive was unknown. Naturally, he did not think too much about it.

Vaguely, Gu Xi felt that this skeleton’s strength had become much more profound.

“Me… I’m just a homeless wandering soul now.” The skeleton laughed self-deprecatingly. There was some loneliness in his words. Soon after, he opened his mouth again, “Of course, I’m also the Master of this Secret Realm.”

Gu Xi narrowed his eyes. This answer was not out of his expectations.

“Wandering soul? Shouldn’t you have died a long time ago?” Gu Xi asked again, but his heart became more vigilant.

Facing a person who had lived for more than 10,000 years in a certain sense, he had no choice but to maintain the greatest vigilance.

“I should have died in that battle 10,000 years ago, but I was lucky enough to obtain a Lightning Spirit Pearl by chance. When my life was about to come to an end, I fused a wisp of my soul into it. That was how I was able to survive until now.”

The skeleton explained with a bitter smile.

Although his soul was able to survive until now, he had been constantly being baptized by the lightning in the Lightning Spirit Pearl for the past 10,000 years. It was also because of this baptism that his soul became more and more fragile, it was like flickering candlelight. If the wind was slightly stronger, it would be enough to extinguish it.

“Fortunately, with your help, I was able to escape from the Lightning Spirit Pearl. Speaking of which, you can be considered my savior. You have helped me.”

The skeleton spoke again, his tone filled with gratitude.

“Help?” Hearing this, Gu Xi was a little confused for a moment, but he quickly reacted. The help that the skeleton mentioned was probably because he had used the system to extract the impurities from the Lightning Spirit Pearl outside the Secret Realm.

It was a coincidence.

“My name Is Yun Zhiyi. May I know your name?”

The skeleton who called himself Yun Zhiyi chuckled.

“Gu Xi,” Gu Xi quickly answered.

Although Yun Zhiyi said that he was his savior, Gu Xi still did not let down his guard.

In the current situation, it was not wrong to be more careful.

Who knew if this old monster was a smiling tiger who might make a move in the next moment.

As if he had seen through Gu Xi’s vigilant heart, Yun Zhiyi smiled, he continued, “On account of you saving my soul, you can take whatever you like in this Secret Realm. Not only that, I can also promise you one thing, as long as it doesn’t go against the law.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi could not help but take a deep breath, feeling a little excited in his heart.

If he could take the treasures in the Secret Realm as he pleased, then these heaven-ranked items…

Thinking of this, a trace of joy flashed across Gu Xi’s face. However, he quickly controlled his expression and asked, “Is that really the case?”

“Of course. In any case, I’ve been guarding these things for a long time,” Yun Zhiyi nodded and said.

“As for the one thing you promised me, I still have no idea.”

“It’s okay. I’ll be here for the next time to rebuild my body and recover my cultivation. You have plenty of time to think about it.”

“I’m a little curious about one more thing. I wonder if Elder Yun…”

“You can say it.”

“May I ask if Elder Yun is from the Southern Continent?”

After saying this, Gu Xi stared at Yun Zhiyi, who was not far away, for fear that he would miss out on some details.

“I am indeed not from the Southern Continent.”

What Gu Xi did not expect was that Yun Zhiyi admitted it openly. He slowly raised his head and looked into the distance, the lightning in his eyes throbbing more and more frequently, as if he was recalling something terrifying.

He said, “Tens of thousands of years ago, there were foreign evil races that invaded our four continents. The cultivators of our four continents fought against them for thousands of years. Once, we received news that the Southern Continent was about to fall under the attack of the evil beasts. I rushed here with a group of cultivators from the Northern Continent, but we were ambushed by the evil races and almost died here.”

“However, apart from me, who was lucky enough to survive, everyone else died

“What a pity… how hateful!”

Yun Zhiyi smiled, and his voice sounded a little lonely.

Hearing these words, Gu Xi was so shocked that he could not close his mouth.

He had never expected that the four continents had once been invaded by powerful foreign enemies. Moreover, according to what Yun Zhiyi had said, their group of cultivators had all died here. Now, Yun Zhiyi had the strength of a Great Saint. What about him ten thousand years ago? What about the otherworldly demonic tribe that could bury them here?

How powerful were the so-called demonic tribe that could do all this?

Gu Xi did not even dare to think about it. In any case, the person who could do all this could kill him instantly with a flick of his finger.

However, this was not the most important part of Yun Zhiyi’s words. The most important part was that Yun Zhiyi was indeed not from the Southern Continent. However, he was not from the Eastern Continent either.

Even so, since Yun Zhiyi was able to come from the Northern Continent to the Southern Continent, he definitely had a way to go from the southern continent to the Eastern Continent!

In this way, returning to the Eastern Continent was no longer a delusion!

“May I ask, Elder Yun, how did you come to the Southern Continent?”

Gu Xi took a deep breath and asked with an expectant expression.

Even the way he addressed Yun Zhiyi was becoming more and more respectful.

A cultivator who had guarded the territory of the continent ten thousand years ago was worthy of respect!

“Oh? It seems that Little Friend Gu isn’t a cultivator of the Southern Continent either.”

Yun Zhiyi placed her hands behind her back and said with some doubt, “Ten thousand years ago, although the four continents were very far apart, there were teleportation arrays between each continent. Could it be that they don’t exist anymore?”
