It was only when Ye Lin had just exchanged blows with Black Bear that he remembered this story.
This Black Bear was far too similar to the one from the legend.
And so, he found this old man.
The old man was hidden deep within the void, with a barrier laid around him.
Even though the man had already passed away, Black Bear remained this loyal.
Ye Lin could not help but feel admiration.
"Hahaha, I never thought this old man would still be found."
"This old man said it long ago—so long as I lived, I would always be his burden."
The Void Walker before him stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
"Senior, you did not die in the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth back then. You sought death of your own accord?"
Hearing the Void Walker's words, Ye Lin's heart stirred, and he asked directly.
"Of course."
"If I remained alive, I would only become his burden, his Achilles' heel."
"I knew I had no hope of becoming a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. I urged him many times to leave, but he would not listen."
"A dignified Primordial Unity Golden Immortal was willing to remain in his true form for his entire life rather than transform, all for a little old man like me."
"Sigh, what a foolish bear."
The Void Walker stroked his beard and slowly shook his head, a bitter smile appearing on his face.
"Since you found this place, then make your move."
"You have successfully passed this trial."
The old man looked at Ye Lin and smiled faintly.
With him dead, Ye Lin could be considered to have passed this trial.
"Brat, I never thought you'd be such a crafty little rat, actually finding this place."
Black Bear's gritted voice came from behind
