Orochimaru was truly moved.
If his previous contact with Ye Ying was only due to his powerful strength and his past teacher-student relationship, then now, Orochimaru was truly tempted.
"Teacher, are you serious?"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
"Teacher, does eternal life really exist?”
Orochimaru's eager gaze moved Ye Ying.
It was a pair of eyes that could do anything to achieve their goals.
"It does exist."
" Then how can I achieve it?!"
Looking at the mysterious Ye Ying, Orochimaru felt as if his heart was being gnawed on by thousands of ants, both itchy and painful.
His heart ached for the fragility of life, and he was also itching for eternal life.
Ye Ying had never lied to him. He was sure that Ye Ying would not lie to him over such matters.
Because there was no need.
No matter how one looked at it, Orochimaru was not worth Ye Ying doing this.
So, it was true!
Ye Ying said calmly as he looked at Orochimaru who was on the verge of going crazy.
"Let me tell you your own method first.”
"What?"
"The reason why you cooperated with Tuan Zang to steal and transplant the cells of the first generation of adults was actually for this slim immortality, right?”
Orochimaru was stunned for a moment before he nodded.
"That's right. I'm studying the forbidden techniques left behind by the second generation and you. These forbidden techniques seem to be able to unravel some of the mysteries of life and the soul.”
Ye Ying sneered.
"Filthy Earth Reincarnation? Did you succeed?"
“... The completion rate is not high enough."
Seeing that Ye Ying did not believe him, Orochimaru said slowly.
" Tuan Zang, he found me. Because the first generation master's Wood Escape Secret Technique was not passed down, he used the first generation cells as a bargaining chip to let me do secret research to revive the first generation Wood Escape Secret Technique. I also used the materials he provided me to carry out my own research. Although I failed many times…However, I've made some breakthroughs in the research I wanted.”
Orochimaru was filled with excitement.
"Reincarnation of the Filthy Earth, recalling the soul of the Pure Land of Bliss back to the human world. Since the soul can be recalled and transferred to others, then I can definitely transfer my own soul! So what if my body is aging? As long as my soul keeps changing into a young body, from another perspective, I can still live forever!”
In the end, Orochimaru revealed a sickly smile.
Ye Ying poured a bucket of cold water on him.
"Transferring souls many times will greatly weaken the soul itself. Perhaps you can stay younger than ordinary people and live a few more years, but you will not be able to obtain true immortality.”
“... How is that possible…"
"Nothing is impossible. Since Teacher Fei Jian and I were able to research the Reincarnation of Filthy Earth, we have naturally conducted a considerable amount of research on the transfer of souls.”
Orochimaru looked at Ye Ying in disappointment, his face contorted as he roared ferociously.
"It won't happen! Impossible, I won't fail. How can I fail on this path!”
Ye Ying didn't say anything. He just quietly watched Orochimaru talking to himself like a madman. Sometimes he would roar, and sometimes he would shatter some of the stone spikes.
Orochimaru only calmed down completely when he was covered in blood.
Amidst his disheveled hair, Orochimaru looked at Ye Ying with a gloomy gaze, his voice so hoarse that it was hard to distinguish.
"Old…Teacher... Then what exactly…How can I obtain eternal life…"
Ye Ying said coldly.
"In this world, it's almost impossible. At least, you can't do it.”
"You tricked me!"
Just as Orochimaru was about to explode, a golden light that seemed to be able to illuminate the sky flashed and disappeared.
Orochimaru was stunned.
The moment the golden light appeared and shone on his body, he felt as if his entire person had been renewed.
Orochimaru blinked in disbelief.
"What's that?"
Ye Ying closed the mechanism on a small ring on his left hand and said indifferently.
"The key to eternal life."
Orochimaru looked greedily at Ye Ying's finger. That ring had a fatal allure.
Unconsciously, his hand slowly reached towards Ye Ying's hand.
There had never been a moment when eternal life was so close to him, so close that he could touch it, but it also seemed as if it was far away.
His hand froze in mid-air for a while before he slowly retracted it.
Orochimaru let out a deep laugh.
"You win, Teacher Ye Ying. What do you want me to do?”
"Smart."
Facing Ye Ying's praise, Orochimaru let out a bitter smile.
"Didn't you fight me just to warn me not to have any improper thoughts? I know. No matter what methods I use, it's impossible for me to succeed against you. The only outcome is…Die!"
Ye Ying replied coldly.
"I guess you got part of it right, but you can slowly figure out the real reason later.”
"Is that golden light the secret of your youth?”
"Yes, as long as it's here, even if dozens of generations have passed, I'll still be the same.”
"What an amazing thing. What's it called?”
"Golden Heart! Some people call it pure gold!"
“... Heart of Gold? Pure gold?"
Without waiting for Orochimaru's charm, Ye Ying dispelled his thoughts.
"Don't think about it. There's no such thing in this world.”
Orochimaru was stunned for a while before he suddenly grasped the meaning behind Ye Ying's words.
“... Wait a minute, you said that this world doesn't have it, which means that jumping out of this world…It was possible to obtain this? Then you... " Hehe, you're not hiding somewhere in the Ninja Realm. You left this world and went to a foreign world that no one can find. There, you obtained this Golden Heart. Can I understand it that way?"”
As expected of Orochimaru, he immediately guessed the truth.
Ye Ying did not deny that he had been waiting for this moment.
"Your guess is correct. However, it will be very difficult to go there. Although I went there by accident, I already have a clue.”
Orochimaru finally understood what Ye Ying meant and smiled.
"You asked me to come back…" Hehe, interesting, this is too interesting. The other world is really interesting. I can't wait to go to that place to find the Heart of Gold. Everything there is worth studying.”
"Since you understand what I mean, then I don't need to waste my breath. Your deal with the group has already made you completely famous in the village. It's very difficult to clear your name. However, from now on, you will listen to my orders directly with the identity of the Special Dark Group!”
There was no need for promises or threats. Orochimaru had no reason not to trust Ye Ying.
"Alright, since Teacher has said so, then what else do I have to say? I'll just do as you say.”
"Orochimaru, it won't be long before you realize that the wind you're pursuing won't be able to blow far.”
"Hehe, I'm looking forward to where Teacher's wind will blow to ~"
"Then let us wait and see.”
