Chapter 771: A Powerhouse Who Had Lived for 100,000 Years!
At this moment, everyone was shocked.
The refined middle-aged man immediately came in front of the High Priest and supported him.
Ye Chen also looked at the High Priest in puzzlement.
The High Priest spat out blood. He forced himself to look at Ye Chen and said, “Jing Shan, he...he is very likely the person in the prophecy.”
After saying that, the middle-aged man also revealed a shocked expression.
Only Xian Lin ‘er and Ye Chen were in a daze.
“Prophecy?”
“What prophecy?”
The High Priest gently waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. Then, he slowly sat down, he looked at Ye Chen and said, “Back then, when the human race was driven to the Lower Realm, the surviving almighty experts of the human race jointly made a prophecy.
“That prophecy was related to the rise and fall of the human race, so I didn’t tell you. I only told Jing Shan and his generation.”
The High Priest looked at Xian Lin ‘er and explained.
Jing Shan also nodded and said, “High Priest, let me tell you!”
The High Priest nodded.
At this time, Jing Shan said, “Back then, the human race was defeated and was doomed. In order to protect the hope of the human race, the last mighty figures of the human race made a prophecy.
“The prophecy said that in 100,000 years, that person would climb up from the domain of sin.
“With the blood and tears of the human race on his back, he would lead the human race back to the peak!”
“This prophecy has always been a secret of the human race. Generations after generations of the human race have passed this secret down,” Jing Shan said.
At this point, Ye Chen was also surprised.
At this moment…the High Priest continued, “Young friend, when you came here, I felt that you were extraordinary and that you were very powerful. When Lin ‘er told me about you, I felt that you were very similar to the person in the prophecy.
Coming from the domain of sin, carrying the human race...
“Moreover, I felt that you were the most important thing. No matter what, I couldn’t see your future clearly.
“Your future is a fog, but within that fog, there is a faint ray of light, and that ray of light is hope!”
“That’s why I suspect that you are the person in the prophecy.”
Saying this, Ye Chen hurriedly said, “That’s why I’m just suspecting. I’m not necessarily the person in the prophecy.”
The High Priest nodded and said, “Indeed, this is just my suspicion. Young friend, if you don’t have anywhere to go during this period of time, you can stay in our tribe!”
Ye Chen nodded.
He agreed.
He looked at Jing Shan and the others and asked, “Senior, I heard that An Tianyang is here with you. Can I see him?”
At this moment, Jing Shan hurriedly said, “Brother An has gone on a mission. He might not be back for quite some time. Little friend, please wait a little longer!”
Ye Chen nodded.
At this moment, Ye Chen looked at the High Priest and slowly walked to the front of the High Priest.
Ye Chen looked at the High Priest and said, “Senior, I saw that you were injured just now. If you trust me, I can help you treat your injuries!”
The High Priest immediately looked at Ye Chen excitedly and said, “You know how to treat injuries?”
Ye Chen nodded and said, “I know some medical skills.”
Hearing this, the High Priest nodded.
Ye Chen came in front of the High Priest and helped the High Priest diagnose his pulse.
Instantly, Ye Chen’s eyes revealed an extremely shocked expression.
“This...how is this possible?”
Ye Chen asked in shock.
At this moment, the High Priest smiled and said, “You’re very surprised, aren’t you?”
Ye Chen looked at the High Priest in shock. The High Priest’s pulse was completely chaotic. Sometimes, it was very fast, and it could jump dozens of times in a second.
Sometimes, it was very slow, and it would not jump once in dozens of seconds.
At this moment, the High Priest looked at Ye Chen and said, “As you can see, I’m already a dying person. My internal organs have dried up, and even my heart is about to dry up.
“If I didn’t use my True Qi to maintain the circulation of my internal organs, I would have died a long time ago.”
Ye Chen said in surprise, “How can this be?”
At this moment, the High Priest smiled and said, “Young friend, how long do you think I have lived?”
“This isn’t an illness or injury. It’s aging. Although I have already reached the third level of the immortal soul stage, I haven’t stepped into the legendary divine tribulation for a hundred thousand years. Even if I have a body full of True Qi, I have no way of recovering my body.
“My body can’t take it anymore. Right now, I’m only forcefully prolonging my life.”
Ye Chen looked at the High Priest.
He understood that immortality basically did not exist.
Before becoming an immortal, it was impossible to achieve immortality.
When he was in the Lower Realm, Ye Chen had seen monsters that had lived for thousands of years. Even if he was in the Lower Realm, he could only live for 10,000 years at most.
In the Upper Realm, even a powerful Dao Fusing Realm expert like the High Priest before him could only live for 100,000 years.
To put it bluntly, the High Priest was not sick.
He was aging.
Therefore, there was no way to treat this illness.
There was only one way to treat it. Unless he could break through to the Divine Tribulation Realm before he died.
Otherwise, he would continue like this until he died of old age.
Ye Chen looked at the High Priest and said, “Previously, you helped me calculate the injuries to my fate. I can help you treat them. However, I can’t stop your body from aging.”
The High Priest nodded and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you, young friend.”
Ye Chen nodded and activated the eternal spring recovery technique.
A faint green light appeared on the High Priest’s body.
At this moment, the wound on the High Priest’s body, which he had been trying to predict Ye Chen’s fate, gradually healed.
However, he was still on his last breath. He was like a withered vine, but he was still alive. There was not much life left in him.
The High Priest muttered, “I’ve seen through all of this. I’m almost done with being able to live until now. The only thing that worries me is them.”
“This place may be very hidden, but someone will find me one day. When I die, without the protection of a Dao Fusing Realm expert, I’m afraid that everyone here will be exterminated by other races.
“It’s precisely because of this that I chose to take the risk and rescue all the humans suppressed by the races of the Upper Realm. This way, although it’s easy to expose our position, as long as we can save one…
“We humans will have more power.
“Moreover, 100,000 years have passed. I have been waiting for the appearance of the person in the prophecy. It is precisely because of this that I allowed the whereabouts of the humans to be exposed in the Upper Realm.”
After listening to the High Priest’s explanation, Ye Chen understood.
He finally understood why the humans who had been hiding in the Upper Realm would appear in the vision of other races.
“Hahaha...actually, I’ll bet again. As long as I win, I’ll add some hope to our human race!” The High Priest continued.
