Chapter 977: 'Old voice' comes out
Currently, Ajax was lying on the ground while maintaining his consciousness with much difficulty.
'I will just sleep.'
Ajax didn't bother about his life anymore because his body had long crossed its limits.
As soon as he got the thought in his mind, Ajax's eyelids slowly shut down.
'Haha...I am finally out.'
The moment Ajax became unconscious, a transparent silhouette came out of Ajax's body as he laughed out loud making the entire cave shake a little.
'What the hell?'
'Who is he?'
Both Master Elek and Nameless cultivator were shocked by the sudden appearance of the old man in front of Ajax.
The old man didn't seem real but he was still there and his voice shook the entire cave.
He had a thick white beard that was touching his potbelly.
"I didn't expect such a place to exist in this backward world. I was able to recover my portion of the spirit consciousness within such a short time."
Rubbing his potbelly, the old man looked around him excitedly as though he had found a treasure trove.

Master Elek and Nameless cultivator silently thought in their hearts and shuddered because the old man in front of them might be the strongest cultivator they have seen in their life.
'Is he the powerful master that teaches Ajax through his dreams?'
It didn't take much time for Master Elek to come to that decision because that would be the only possible logic.
Master Elek had read in some ancient books that the powerful cultivators could place a small portion of their consciousness in their disciple's bodies and if any life-threatening situation comes to their disciples, their spirit consciousness will be activated to save the disciple's life.
As soon as that thought came to his mind, Master Elek didn't bother to waste any more time and hurriedly bowed to the old man before saying, "Powerful cultivator, sorry for pushing your disciples to his limits…."
"He is not my disciple and I don't like taking any disciples."
Before Master Elek could finish his words, the old man looked at Master Elek before interrupting him.
'Huh?'
Master Elek got confused for a moment and after thinking about something, Master Elek nodded his head.
Almost all the powerful cultivators had their own ideals that might sound crazy to normal cultivators but for them, they were completely normal.
"He is my successor whom I am planning to groom to be one."
While Master Elek was in his thoughts, the old man stroked his white beard and informed him.
'Oh.'
Finally, Master Elek understood something as he hurriedly nodded his head.
There were some powerful cultivators who would like to train some young cultivators and only after checking all the aspects of the young cultivators, they would accept him or her as their disciple or successor.
"Powerful cultivator, sorry for harming your to-be-successor..."
"I know why you did that to him."
Once again, before Master Elek could finish his words, the old man interrupted him before continuing, "Where is that place?"
The old man asked about someplace that made Master Elek a little hesitant; however, he felt it was the right thing to answer the old man about the place.
'What do you say, Brother Nameless?'
However, he didn't answer the old man directly because it was not his decision; instead, it was Nameless cultivator who had to answer the old man because he dedicated his entire life to that place.
"Oh"
When the old man followed Master Elek's eye direction, he saw Nameless Cultivator who was in a dilemma to give up on the place that he was holding dear for many years now.
"It looks like you are placing all your hopes on that place to get back to your human form. Am I right?"
Seeing the dilemma on Nameless cultivator's face, the old man could not help but chuckle as he asked him a question.
"Yes, Powerful cultivator."
Since the old man was not angered with his delay in answering his question, Nameless cultivator heaved a sigh of relief as he replied to him.

The old man walked towards the Nameless cultivator as he told him.
'What?'
With each step the old man took towards him, Nameless cultivator was feeling tremendous pressure; however, the old man's words made him so excited that he forgot about the pressure and asked the old man with an excited look on his face.
"What will I gain by lying to you? Of course, it is true."
The old man stopped all of a sudden as though he was stopped by something that made the old man curse in his heart, 'Damn it…why can't I move more than 10 meters away from that kid? Is it because of that unknown entity in his head?'
The old man looked at Ajax with a complicated look on his face as he felt that Ajax was still a mystery to him.
'Anyway, I have to focus on this for now.'
Nevertheless, he didn't bother about Ajax and didn't think about the other entity in Ajax's head as he had other things to do right now.
"Powerful cultivator, I can guide you to that place. Please follow me, but can you promise me that you can turn me back to normal? Even if I am unable to cultivate, I don't mind; however, I just want to become a regular human."
Without wasting any time, Nameless cultivator replied to the old man with a polite look on his face.
"I can do that; however, it comes at a price."
All of a sudden, there was a mysterious smile on the old man's face that made Nameless cultivator shiver unconsciously.
