Dao of the Bizarre Immortal-Chapter 500 - Sworn

The doctor was pleasantly surprised and thrilled that Li Huowang was listening to him.

“Li Huowang, it was all because your subconsciousness managed to hear it. That’s why it woke you up from your hallucination when Yang Na came here to visit. It was not a coincidence. There aren't that many coincidences in this world. You don't wake up to that hallucination when something happens there, but the opposite is true, and the hallucination changes according to what happens here.

“What the fuck are you talking about—” Li Huowang suddenly realized something. “Wait, you are right! That makes sense! So this world is real!”

“Hm?” The doctor scratched his wig in confusion. Even though the patient had accepted his explanation, he felt something amiss.

It’s fine. As long as he accepts it. the doctor thought. He looked at Li Huowang and said, “See, if this world is real, doesn’t it mean that side is fake?”

“No! That side is real too!” Li Huowang said without any hesitation. “My subconsciousness detected that I need to wake up here so that’s why the primordial breath in my body leaked out to make me come back to this world! It’s not a coincidence!”

The doctor was confused after hearing what Li Huowang was talking about. Primordial breath? Did he change the entire script just to fit his narrative?

“No, no, no, Li Huowang, you have to listen to me ...”

“No! Shut up! You listen to me! The primordial breath in my body might not just be part of the Heavenly Dao—it might also be a key to two worlds, just like Zhuge Yuan! That makes sense, as your constitutions are special! Yes, that’s right! Maybe when the Heavenly Dao was split apart in that crazy world, it traveled through dimensions and got stuck to my body here. That’s why I can travel between worlds. This world is real, and that world is real, too! Both worlds are real!”

The doctor was bewildered by what he was hearing about the so-called "primordial breath" and "Zhuge Yuan."

Li Huowang ran up and hugged the doctor. “Thank you, doctor! Everything makes sense now! Anyway, the surroundings are blurring again, so I will have to go back now. We can talk more next time!”

Li Huowang had just said goodbye when he saw the doctor’s face being flayed until there was only a flayed dog standing upright.

The bright surroundings turned dark, and Li Huowang was back in the forest once again.

He tried calming himself down. He wanted to share the exciting news, but Li Sui wouldn't understand him at all.

Calm down. I just need to continue cultivating. The other side will eventually become real. I can’t give up now. Zhuge Yuan is waiting for me to save him!

Li Hyowang took some deep breaths before looking at the skinned dog in front of him. “Li Sui, why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to run with your mother? Where is she?”

“Dad, she’s behind you.”

Li Huowang turned around and immediately sighed in relief when he saw Bai Lingmiao standing there. He picked up Zhuge Yuan’s spine sword and approached her. He sounded disgruntled as he asked, “Why did you come back?”

“Senior Li, you said that the Sitting Oblivion Dao is targeting us. I was afraid that you'd be swapped by them if we got separated for too long, so I came back here with Li Sui.”

Li Sui chimed in, “Mother said that we can help you.”

Bai Lingmiao lowered her head in regret when Li Huowang sighed and hugged her. Li Huowang stroked her white hair and said, “It’s fine. As long as you are safe.”

Li Huowang coughed lightly when he saw that Zhuge Yuan and everyone else were staring at him. Then, he decided to bring Bai Lingmiao and Li Sui to the carriage.

The chaotic night ended just like that. It was a dangerous night, but Li Huowang still managed to accomplish what he needed to do, so he was quite satisfied with tonight's events.

The next day at noon, Li Huowang reached a small hill next to a waterfall. He hadn’t slept a wink and carried three swords on him at all times.

Li Huowang swept his gaze across the tiny yellow flowers dotting the beautiful landscape and nodded with satisfaction.

“Senior Zhuge, what do you think about this place’s Fengshui? Not bad right? Let me bury your corpse here.” Li Huowang took out his purple-tasseled sword to dig out a grave.

“Junior Li, no need to be in a rush," Zhuge Yuan said. He stared at his own spine, which had been fashioned into a sword on Li Huowang’s back, and added, “Junior Li, since you have it now, you should use it instead of burying it.”

“What? How can I do that?!” Li Huowang objected, but Zhuge Yuan stopped him with his fan.

“Junior Li, you’ve risked your life for me too many times now. I am grateful to you, but I'm really worried about how often you risk your life. If my body can be of help to you, I'm more than happy with you using it to ensure your survival.”

Li Huowang looked down at the sword in his hands and stared at the shriveled head of Zhuge Yuan, which had become the sword's pommel. He had to admit that it was indeed a good weapon.

He would take it without hesitation if it wasn’t for the fact that it was made from the spine of his good friend.

“Junior Li, if one wants to aim for greatness, one must not be shackled down by the mundane. You are surrounded by exceptionally strong enemies. What if that weapon ends up saving you at a critical juncture? You would die without it, and I would die, too. It doesn't matter even if you bury the sword here, as I will still be here with you instead of resting in peace.”

Li Huowang made up his mind at Zhuge Yuan's remark. He placed the spine sword on his back and ran back into the carriage. Moments later, he brought out two bowls and poured water into them before biting his fingertip and dripping his blood into the bowls. Afterward, he poured one of the bowls of water infused with his blood onto the spine sword. Then, he raised the other bowl into the air toward Zhuge Yuan. “Come! Senior Zhuge, we are now sworn brothers! I, Li Huowang, swear that I will do my best to resurrect Zhuge Yuan!”

Zhuge Yuan stood solemnly and looked at Li Huowang drinking the water in the bowl before he himself made a gesture of drinking from an imaginary bowl.

While Li Huowang and Zhuge Yuan were drinking, the Sitting Oblivion Dao’s illusion beside them chimed in sarcastically, “You and I have become brothers. We were not born on the same day, but we seek to die on the same day! Ahahahahah!~”
