Chapter 2586 Matthew Exits
The Guyuan Mountains, this ancient and mysterious land, has become the most eye-catching place in the human world since Matthew went into seclusion.
Three hundred and seventy years, for ordinary monks, may be several generations of time, but for Matthew, it is just a moment of retreat and practice.
The human world has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past three hundred years.
Some sects that were revived only a hundred years ago perished again like a flash in the pan in the competition for resources with other forces.
However, some unknown small forces, by chance, accidentally obtained a large amount of cultivation resources after the demon catastrophe, and became a powerful force that could not be ignored in the human world.
Especially some treasure-hunting monks, their footprints are all over the human world. It is often reported that someone has discovered powerful treasures, rare elixirs, or even the hidden inheritance of the ancestors of a sect in the ruins of a sect.
It is difficult to tell whether this news is true or false, but it is enough to drive the entire cultivation world crazy.
And during these 370 years, the Guyuan Mountains were not completely silent.
Except for the Ten Thousand Demons Valley which remains closed, other places are bustling with activity.
The attitudes of the demon kings who left the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons subtly changed after seeing the strength of Xing Yan and others.
They no longer stuck to one corner, but established their own power in the Guyuan Mountains and continued to expand their territory.
What is even more surprising is that these demon kings actually began to accept human monks to settle in the Ancient Source Mountains.
They knew very well that it would be difficult to fully control this vast mountain range by their own strength.
The wisdom and creativity of human monks are exactly what they need.
Human cultivators can also obtain precious cultivation resources from the Demon King. Both sides get what they need, forming a delicate balance.
As one of Matthew's most trusted confidants, Xingyan has been paying close attention to the developments in the Guyuan Mountains over the years.
She knew very well what Matthew's retreat meant to the entire cultivation world.
Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she would always look up in the direction of the Demon Valley, silently praying that Matthew's retreat would go smoothly.
One day, Xing Yan had just finished dealing with some trivial matters and was about to take a rest when she suddenly felt a slight movement in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The slightest movement was so slight that if she had not practiced for many years and was extremely sensitive to spiritual energy, she would not have been able to detect it at all.
Xing Yan's heart trembled, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she subconsciously looked in the direction of the Demon Valley.
This is one of the most common actions she has performed in over three hundred years.
Because in her memory, the spiritual energy above the Demon Valley has always been as calm as water, and there has never been any fluctuation.
However, this time, when she turned her head, she was surprised to find a purple cloud floating above the Demon Valley.
The purple clouds seemed like a dream.
What shocked Xing Yan even more was that the purple cloud was still falling downwards little by little, as if an invisible hand was controlling it.
"The master is coming out!"
Xing Yan was overjoyed when she saw this scene, with excitement flashing in her eyes.
The appearance of this purple cloud means that Matthew is about to come out.
This was the moment she had been looking forward to most in over three hundred years.
Xing Yan did not dare to delay and immediately used her secret technique to pass on the news to others.
Her voice was like an invisible wave that instantly spread throughout the entire ghost clan headquarters.
Not long after Xingyan transmitted the message, everyone, including the four beast kings, came to Xingyan's side.
There was a hint of anxiety and anticipation on their faces, and they had obviously sensed the unusual movement above the Demon Valley.
"Let's go to the Demon Valley right now!"
Xing Yan said softly, with an unquestionable firmness in her tone.
The others did not dare to delay and immediately followed Xing Yan.
Their figures disappeared from the spot in an instant like streaks of light.
When the group flew rapidly to the front of the Demon Transformation Valley, before they entered the Valley, they suddenly felt an invisible energy wave coming at them.
The energy fluctuations were like an invisible giant hand, instantly enveloping their bodies.
When the invisible energy touched their bodies, everyone's faces suddenly changed.
The invisible energy was like countless pairs of eyes staring at them at the same time, making the hairs on their bodies stand up, as if they were in an extremely terrifying abyss.
Moreover, their bodies fell from the air uncontrollably.
They struggled desperately but could not resist this mysterious force.
When they landed, the purple cloud above the Demon Valley had completely disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion and shock.
They didn't know what this invisible energy was or why it suddenly appeared.
But they knew that this was definitely not an ordinary energy fluctuation, but was related to Matthew's coming out of seclusion.
Just when they were puzzled, the restriction at the entrance of the Demon Valley opened automatically. After the fog dissipated, a person slowly walked out from inside.
This person's movements seem slow, but they are actually very fast.
He just made the move to raise his foot, and the next moment he appeared in front of them.
The person who came was Matthew.
Matthew's figure appeared in front of everyone like a flash of lightning.
Matthew stood quietly at the entrance of the valley, his eyes as deep as the abyss.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the gradually darkening sunset in the sky, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
This smile contains the vicissitudes and insights of ten thousand years, but it seems that he is just pleased with the familiar world in front of him.
"Meet the master!"
Xing Yan and the others knelt together, with uncontrollable excitement in their voices.
More than three hundred years of waiting, countless days and nights of anticipation, finally turned into this affectionate call.
Matthew nodded, his eyes swept across everyone, and finally landed on Xingyan: "Thank you for your hard work during this period."
This simple sentence seems to carry a great weight.
Xingyan raised her head and met Matthew's eyes as deep as the starry sky. Suddenly, an indescribable complex emotion surged in her heart.
She clearly saw that there was an indelible sense of vicissitudes in Matthew's eyes.
Outsiders only knew that Matthew had been in seclusion for more than three hundred years. For a Jindan or Yuanying cultivator, such a time was indeed not particularly long.
But only Matthew himself knew that this retreat would last for ten thousand years.
Ten thousand years ago, he stepped into a gap in the candlelight, a mysterious space where time seemed to have almost frozen.
"It's not hard. As long as the master's retreat is successful, we are willing to do anything." Xing Yan's voice trembled a little, and her eyes flashed with a mixture of loyalty and joy.
Matthew nodded with satisfaction, and with a stroke of his hand, an invisible force appeared and helped everyone up.
His eyes then fell on Lan Yue and Liu Yulong.
"You two have also entered the Spirit Transformation Stage, not bad." Matthew nodded slowly, with a hint of approval in his voice.
“They both entered the Spirit Transformation Stage several decades ago, and they didn’t need any help from anyone in the process. It’s really great.” Yue Ru explained softly, with a gleam of relief in her eyes.
Matthew's gaze stayed on these three confidants for a moment, and then slowly moved to the four alien beast kings.
At this time, they looked no different from normal humans, and even the aura they exuded did not show any characteristics of any strange beasts.
"Is everything done?" Matthew asked softly as he looked at the four beast kings. His voice was calm but contained unquestionable majesty.
"Master, we have completed the task you assigned us." The four alien beast kings bowed and replied with the utmost respect.
Matthew at this moment gave people an extremely unreal feeling.
He was clearly standing there, but even if he looked with his eyes, he still felt that Matthew would merge into one with the surrounding world at any time.
Especially the aura on Matthew's body, which has completely disappeared, as if it has completely merged with this world.
Even Xing Yan and Yue Ru, who were in the Spirit Transformation Stage, could not figure out what kind of secret technique Matthew had practiced to reach such a state.
"Master, you..." Xing Yan hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but ask.
Matthew seemed to notice her doubts and smiled slightly: "It's okay, you will understand later."
He slowly raised his head, his eyes passing through the mountains of the Demon Valley and gazing towards the distant horizon.
In that distant horizon, it seemed as if something was calling him.
Just as Matthew was concentrating on the distant sky, in an extremely secluded place somewhere in the human world, in a cave hidden among many restrictions, Mo Tu, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes.
A hint of viciousness and fanaticism flashed in his scarlet eyes, and then his figure flashed and appeared in the sky.
Mo Tu was suspended in the air, his eyes looking straight at the far sky, with a complicated smile on his face: "You old thief, you finally can't control that half of the world soul. I planned so much and designed so many things just to lure you out, and now you can finally not hide anymore."
His voice was full of pride and sarcasm, as if he had already seen the scene of the old man Zi Ding being defeated.
However, this sense of pride was soon replaced by a sense of pain.
"Damn it, Blood God! When I recover from my injuries, I will make sure you know the consequences of betraying me!" Mo Tu gritted his teeth and growled, with a ferocious expression on his face.
Apparently, the injuries he suffered have not healed to this day.
Although his heart was filled with anger and unwillingness, Mo Tu still returned to his hiding place with an unwilling look on his face and continued to heal his wounds in seclusion.
He knew very well that now was not the time to confront the old man Zi Ding head-on.
He must be fully prepared for that battle.
In the Demon Valley, Matthew stood in a quiet valley. The spiritual energy around him surged like a tide, but strangely not a single bit of it leaked out.
He sat cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes, but his consciousness extended in all directions.
In the past ten thousand years, he has experienced too much and learned too much.
Now that he was finally out of seclusion, the first thing he had to do was to get reacquainted with this world that had changed so much.
After a moment, Matthew waved his hands gently.
Some strange lights appeared as his hands moved, and then all these strange lights were absorbed into the people sitting cross-legged beside him.
