Chapter 2065: Chapter 2065: No Beard, No Reliability!

As night fell.

Although the journey was uneventful, their cautious pace slowed them down.

They covered less than a hundred miles in a full day, and at this rate, a journey that should take five or six days might stretch to more than ten.

Yet there was no other choice, and neither of them could rush it.

Traveling at night is more dangerous than during the day. After an entire day of heightened alertness, both were quite tired, so they found a cave and decided to rest there for the night.

The cave was the lair of a Green-Eyed Demon Tiger, spacious and warm, making it a good shelter. As for the Green Spirit Tiger itself, it ”honored” them by becoming their dinner.

After eating their fill, Niu Kui was soon snoring away.

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but envy him. Only someone with such a simple mind could sleep peacefully in this environment.

Ye Haochuan chuckled to himself and didn’t sleep but took out the Communicating with God Treasure Order.

The figure within the Treasure Order was long overdue to fulfill its promise and be awakened.

The figure had said before that Ye Haochuan could awaken it once he reached Nascent Soul Peak. But Ye Haochuan had tried countless times without getting any response at the peak of his Nascent Soul stage.

Now that Ye Haochuan was at the Immortal Transformation Early Stage, if he still couldn’t awaken that figure, then the figure might really be dead and could never be awakened again?

He chose to awaken it here out of necessity. When at Half-Mountain Residence, he had considered it but feared that if the figure had a conflict with people there, it would be troublesome for him.

After returning to Anxi County, he got caught up in matters involving Niu Kui and truly forgot about it until now.

With a settled mind, Ye Haochuan quickly sat cross-legged, held his breath, focused, placed the Treasure Order in his palm, pressed his hands together, and slowly infused it with Flower Energy.

Ten minutes swiftly passed.

Ye Haochuan’s Flower Energy had mostly depleted—a prolonged energy expenditure was quite a burden, evident from the sweat constantly beading on his forehead.

Damn, no response. Could that guy really be dead?

Ye Haochuan muttered to himself.

If Flower Energy couldn’t awaken it, Ye Haochuan would really have no other way.

Just as he felt the Flower Energy within was insufficient and planned to cease, hoping to try again another time, the Treasure Order suddenly trembled slightly and then, like a beast starved for years, began devouring Ye Haochuan’s Flower Energy.

Damn, finally some reaction!

Ye Haochuan was elated instead of concerned, allowing the Treasure Order to devour his Flower Energy.

Soon, Ye Haochuan’s remaining Flower Energy was exhausted by the Treasure Order.

Ye Haochuan quickly swallowed a Spirit Level Infant Energy Condensation Pill, which dissolved swiftly to replenish his Dantian with flourishing Spiritual Energy and Flower Energy.

The wondrous effects of Spirit Level Pills were evident here. With mortal level elixirs, the replenishment speed would be nowhere near as fast.

Sensing the abundance of Flower Energy in Ye Haochuan, the Treasure Order seemed even more exuberant, frantically drawing in Flower Energy. The Flower Energy in the Infant Energy Condensation Pill was quickly consumed.

Damn, lucky I’m not short on pills, otherwise, I’d be drained dry.

Ye Haochuan swallowed two more Infant Energy Condensation Pills, letting the order absorb them.

Finally, as the Flower Energy from the third Infant Energy Condensation Pill was nearly exhausted, a sigh emerged from the Treasure Order.

The sound was weak initially but grew stronger over time.

”Damn, I thought I was dead for sure, who knew I’d survive this? Seems the heavens still favor me!” A voice said from within the Treasure Order, revealing it was indeed that figure from before.

With each word, gray mist emerged from the Treasure Order and formed into the semblance of a young man.

”Hey, aren’t souls in magical treasures usually venerable old men? Plus, you kept calling yourself ’this old man’ before; why’re you so young?” Ye Haochuan inquired curiously.

”Who says only old geezers can call themselves ’this old man’? Isn’t it more mature and reliable?” The youth retorted angrily.

Damn, you think that makes you reliable? Referring to yourself that way is just childish!

Ye Haochuan smirked, thinking no wonder others get heaps of legacy treasures, while he ended up with this—seemingly there’s no deep foundation.

He really was immature; no wonder nothing was achieved!

”By the way, you said you’d awaken at Nascent Soul Peak, but I reached Immortal Transformation and spent much effort waking you. Did you oversleep?” Ye Haochuan asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, the youth got mad, shouting, ”You dare say that? If it weren’t for you, I almost died!”

”Nearly died?” Ye Haochuan was even more bewildered, asking innocently, ”How could I do that? I didn’t harm you, did I?”

”Do you not realize frequent use of the Treasure Order depletes its source? In the Immortal Realm, depletion isn’t an issue as there’s Flower Energy to replenish. But in the Lower Realm, without Flower Energy, your continued usage without replenishment kept reducing the Order’s source!”

Furious, the youth explained, ”Most source energy maintains my soul, and your heavy use decreased protection, accelerating my soul’s scattering. I almost vanished!”

”What? You never mentioned not overusing it!” Ye Haochuan cried unfairly, continuing, ”Besides, if you felt excessive depletion, why not warn me?”

”I was asleep! By the time I awoke, my Soul Power was mostly spent, leaving too little to manifest even once!”

”Luckily, you advanced to the Immortal Realm quickly. The Treasure Order gathered ample Flower Energy, preserving my last wisp of soul. If not, you’d have truly destroyed me!”

Ye Haochuan felt exasperated; he didn’t expect his misuse caused such trouble. If the youth died due to him, he’d feel... guilt? No, he wouldn’t, as he truly didn’t know!

”Still, I did awaken you—doesn’t that make up for my blunder?” Ye Haochuan grinned awkwardly.

”Hmph, if not for that, I’d haunt you even in death!” The youth snorted.

Damn, aren’t you a ghost now? If you died, you’d be gone, so how could you haunt me?

Ye Haochuan smirked, thinking to himself.

”Now that you’re alive, about that grand gift you promised—ready to deliver?” Ye Haochuan grinned at the youth.
