Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2410: Chapter 2411: Tricked by Old Monster Ding

Immediately, Ye Luo took two steps to stand in front of Old Monster Ding, and slightly bowed to him.

”Senior, I have made my decision. I choose the Space-time Law!”

Upon hearing this, Old Monster Ding immediately opened his eyes, looking at him full of doubt.

”Kid, I have explained the consequences to you clearly. Do you truly want to choose it?”

Ye Luo nodded with a smile, ”Senior, I have thought it through. To gain strength, one must make sacrifices; it’s only fair!”

Old Monster Ding listened and, after a long while, sighed.

”Truly ashamed, at such a young age, you have such a mindset, far better than I was back then. If I had been less impetuous back then, maybe I would have tamed this Space-time Law by now. Fine, I will pass this Space-time Law to you, remember, it is like a wild horse. How to tame it, you must find out on your own!”

Obviously, Old Monster Ding also knew that the Space-time Law could be repaired. He hadn’t mentioned it before as he was testing Ye Luo’s disposition.

However, it was nonetheless a flimsy hope, as Old Monster Ding spent his whole life being a slave to this Space-time Law.

”Since you have decided, then take this skeleton; within it are fragments of the Space-time Law. Don’t underestimate the difficulty of understanding the Space-time Law; it’s not easy! And if you fail to comprehend it, the consequence, which you should guess, is a loss of lifespan. How much you lose depends on the situation!” Old Monster Ding sighed, ”I have had three disciples in my life. The first failed and lost two hundred years of lifespan! The second lost nearly a hundred, and the third, who had the best talent and in whom I had the most hope, lost his life in the end! So, I no longer take disciples, but choose heirs. With that, you should understand!”

Ye Luo’s expression turned serious; he didn’t expect it to be so dangerous!

Initially, he thought the inheritance came from Old Monster Ding, but now it seems it has little to do with him.

But he also understood why Old Monster Ding would choose an heir instead of taking disciples.

To take disciples, one must first cultivate them for a time. Although Old Monster Ding’s cultivation has mostly dissipated, his inheritance certainly is not solely about the Space-time Law.

Cultivating disciples requires dedication, and passing on all his life’s learning to a disciple is essentially saying the mentor-disciple relationship in the cultivator’s world is closer than father and son!

By what he described earlier, it’s equivalent to experiencing the loss of children three times, such a blow would be unbearable even for a strong-minded person.

So now, he only selects heirs, passing on the Space-time Law, a process that has little to do with him!

Whether a stranger lives or dies, what does it have to do with him?

Understanding this, Ye Luo relaxed a bit; after all, becoming a disciple or accepting one is no small matter, something Ye Luo approaches with great caution.

He did not hesitate anymore and directly accepted the skeleton - a white bone full of cracks, but its texture was as pure as jade, revealing nothing of its race.

Yet it indeed exuded a thick aura of the Space-time Law, astonishing Ye Luo, merely a bone, having existed for countless years, yet the power of the law was still so full!

It was simply a miracle.

”This is a Holy Beast’s skeleton, containing fragments of the Space-time Law, which is why the Space-time Law continues endlessly within it! But these fragments have peculiarities; once accepted, you cannot abandon it, unless your lifespan is exhausted, then this bone will choose a new owner, or like me, you choose another heir. But note, the chosen heir must be recognized by this bone!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Luo immediately felt something was off.

This is indeed a trap! Old Monster Ding appears eccentric, but in reality, his mind is meticulous, having tricked Ye Luo.

If Old Monster Ding had said all this before Ye Luo accepted the bone, Ye Luo might not have accepted it.

Firstly, the bone accepts Ye Luo. Originally, he took three disciples not because he didn’t want more, but the bone did not accept them! Or rather, he could have sought many heirs.

Of course, the previous loss of a hundred years of life span by Ye Luo was probably the process of being accepted by the bone.

Now, with Ye Luo accepting the bone, Old Monster Ding’s task is complete, and he is free of the Space-time Law; what about Ye Luo? Either he exhausts his own lifespan, or he needs to find another heir!

However, he thought of something odd. Normally, his previous disciples had accepted the bone. Whether they lived or died, Old Monster Ding should have long been free!

Seeing Ye Luo’s confusion, Old Monster Ding sighed, ”Young man, it’s not as simple as you think. The disciples I trained before never got the bone’s recognition. I intended to let them comprehend some Space-time Law before trying again but didn’t expect such an outcome!”

Damn! Ye Luo’s eyes widened; the bone just somehow had a connection with him!

And he did feel that the bone had indeed established some vague connection with him.

Yet, at the moment, he found Old Monster Ding quite irritating!

”Don’t blame me; when you arrived here, the bone reacted, and I knew my day of release had come. Perhaps, it’s destiny. After all, even I wasn’t fully recognized by the bone back then; maybe, a miracle will happen with you! Anyway, since you chose it, your destiny has been altered. I didn’t deceive you, as I don’t know how long I’d survive without the Space-time Law!” Old Monster Ding chuckled bitterly.

Ye Luo sighed too; perhaps, he misunderstood Old Monster Ding. After all, Yujizi sent Ye Luo here, meaning Old Monster Ding, at least, is not that insidious or treacherous.

Only, this matter is ultimately a bit of a mess.

Ye Luo suddenly thought of a question, ”Senior, now that I’ve chosen this bone, what if I fail to comprehend the Space-time Law within?”

Old Monster Ding was also taken aback, his expression turning a bit odd, ”I truly don’t know about that, as previously, people first comprehended the Law and then gained the bone’s recognition. You’re simply too exceptional!”

Exceptional my ass! Ye Luo felt like cursing, fearing that if he couldn’t comprehend the Space-time Law and the bones continued to drain his lifespan, he’d truly end up being a fool here.
