Capítulo 490: Chapter 490 : Walking Away

Deep in the Underworld, there was a small oasis, a piece of heaven in the middle of the land of the dead, where Dizang* resided with his disciples. These were the exceptional souls he personally handpicked from the sea of souls that passed by the Underworld.

The stay at Dizang's oasis was comparable to the stay at the Garden Watcher's Garden of Passing Souls, save for one distinct difference -- those who became Dizang's disciples did not have to re-enter the samsara cycle if they did not want to.

Indeed, Dizang could not recall any of his disciples ever wanting to leave, save for a single one.

"Dizang, I wish to return to the Heavenly Realm," his newest disciple said, as he did the previous day and the day before.

Dizang lifted his head and stopped watering the plants in his lush garden with a sigh.

"Xie Jianyu, come over here," he said while beckoning Xie Jianyu toward himself.

Xie Jianyu obediently complied and approached Dizang.
