(OLD/NOT CANON) Immortal Ascension Tower

Chapter 79 - White Dream Cauldron

A figure advanced through what looked like an extremely vast, empty space. His features were hidden by a mysterious blur, only a pair of incredibly beautiful blue eyes could be seen.

This pair of blue eyes were like two gems: at the same time as deep as the sea and yet as bright as the sky!

Although the figure seemed to be going at a slow pace, each of his step actually propelled him at such speed that it would make one feel cold shiver down his back. Let alone seeing his true self, even the afterimages went so fast they couldn't be made out!

Suddenly, a lone building appeared off in the distance. It looked like a completely normal wooden hut, with only a few simple decoration here and there. Seeing this modest house that looked like a lowly peasant's home, the figure couldn't help but chuckle bitterly.

"Seriously... After all these years he still has no sense of pride! If it meant saving up a single coin, he would already have started licking the seller's boots... What the hell is up with this modest hut!" The figure sighed and then came to a stop in front of the door.

He didn't need to cough or to announce his presence: the door suddenly opened seemingly by itself, revealing the space within the small hut.

"Worker... What a rare occasion! To actually come here in person and not sending one of your... toys. It truly is an honor!" An high-pitched voice came out from within the hut.

"Those thinghs... What did you like to call them? Skylore? Highfallen? I don't seem to remember... Oh well, it doesn't matter! Please, come on in, come on in!" The voice invited.

The blurred figure smiled bitterly and then walked inside. As soon as he did, the door closed by itself and a powerful smell of medicinal herbs wafted towards him. He ignored the pungent odour and looked around: the hut was a few meters long and had a total of two rooms.

Currently, the only door separating the two rooms was closed. Worker sighed as if he was used to this and waved his hand: a chair appeared out of thin air.

"Oh? You are such in a good humour you actually got off your lazy bum and used that unique power of yours to create a majestic and otherworldly chair! Really, something incredible must have happened while I was locked in here with my medicinal herbs!" The voice from before jokingly remarked.

"..." Two blue eyes gleamed as the temperature seemed to rise and smoke began to come out from the cracks in the closed door's frames...

Following that, a loud explosion and a sharp howl could be heard.

"It was a joke! A frigging joke! You are so dense! The materials used in this process cost me decades of services to bastards like you! I just recently gained a century of freedom and I will have to go back to work now to earn back what has been lost!"

A figure walked out of the closed room "Just what the hell is wrong with you!"

Tall, beautiful, he had a pair of piercing grey eyes. Currently though, the youth's beautiful face as well as his long, white hair and white robes had all turned black, charred.

He was holding what looked like a mass of burnt herbs and elixirs in his hands, his expression was one of reminiscence.

"Goodbye my sweet ingredients, I won't forget you..." As he sighed, the objects turned into dust and got blown away. However, for some strange reason, as soon as the cloud of dust left the house it completely disappeared from existence...

Worker looked on, his eyes cold, without the single trace of the warmth he had showed when he had spoken with Jin FengHuang, back in the Plane of Existence where he had met Cheng Hao. The unusual coldness sent a cold shiver running down the other's spine.
