"Who are you?" Chen Guan stared at the figure in the shadows and said.
"You don't need to know who I am; you just need to know that I've co to kill you." The person in the shadows replied.
"No, you're not here to kill ." Chen Guan shook his head as he spoke.
"Do you think that because I haven't attacked you from behind, I'm not here to kill you? If you think that way, you're gravely mistaken. I don't kill from behind because I disdain such tactics." The person in the shadows said coldly.
"Of course, you disdain killing from behind, or perhaps there's simply no need. A Grotto Heaven Powerhouse doesn't need to resort to such trouble to kill a Sixth Awakening Cultivator." Chen Guan replied.
"This is inside the Grotto Heaven. How did you know I am from the Great Cave Heaven?" The person in the shadows asked, slightly surprised, looking at Chen Guan.
"Because within the Grotto Heaven, no one can stand behind
without
noticing. If you can do that, then you must be from the Great Cave Heaven, and not just any ordinary Great Cave Heaven." Chen Guan stated confidently.
The person in the shadows laughed, "You're really confident, talking as if you've already beco invincible in the Grotto Heaven."
"You can drop the 'as if.' I am already invincible in the Grotto Heaven." Chen Guan looked at him and said, "Of course, my invincibility does not include those like you who can enter the Grotto Heaven from the Great Cave Heaven. Now, can you tell
who you really are?"
"You're so clever, you can try to guess who I am." The person in the shadows said with a faint smile.
"You are not from the Ancestral Court. If you were, you wouldn't be saying so much to ; you would have already acted when you were behind ."
Chen Guan paused and then continued, "You're also not from the Ten Great Families. The Ten Great Families have only two attitudes towards : one is seeing
as a thorn in their side, wishing to eliminate
imdiately; the other is considering
a friend or a worthwhile investnt partner. Such people would not maintain such a superior attitude as you do because friends wouldn't view
this way, and those who need
wouldn't treat
like this."
"Then who am I supposed to be?" The person in the shadows laughed, "I can't possibly be your elder, can I?"
"There are no elders from the Great Cave Heaven in my family, so you can't be one." Chen Guan looked at him and said, "Your attitude towards
indicates your status is higher than mine, but not in terms of position. You're not my enemy, yet you're here wasting ti talking to . If you fulfill these conditions, there's only one possibility."
"Oh, what possibility is that?" The person in the shadows asked.
"You have nothing to do with , yet you have sothing to do with ; you're not my elder, but you feel like an elder to ."
"So is it sothing to do with or not? Are you my elder or not my elder?"
"It's hard to say. If my wife still acknowledges her foster father, then you have sothing to do with
and might be my elder. If she doesn't acknowledge him, then you are unrelated to ." Chen Guan said.
"You are indeed very clever. If you could have been born twenty years, even ten years earlier, perhaps the Celestial Court Army wouldn't be what it is today, and he wouldn't have to struggle so much." The person said, stepping out from the shadows.
Even though he had walked under the light, Chen Guan still couldn't see his appearance. His whole person had a kind of hazy feeling, or it was not just a feeling but a kind of power that prevented outsiders from seeing him clearly.
"My na is Zhong, I am the Talent of Ji Beizhu." The person looked at Chen Guan and said slowly.
"You are... the Talent of Ji Beizhu..." Chen Guan stared at Zhong as if he had seen a ghost.
"Yes, just as you're thinking. I am Ji Beizhu's Lifebound Talent; my na is Zhong, as in finality." Zhong said with a smile.
Chen Guan had never heard of a talent being a living person, let alone one with extraordinary wisdom.
"So, you ca to see , or rather Ji Beizhu let you co to see , for what purpose?" Chen Guan asked.
"You need to listen to a story." Zhong began, regardless of whether Chen Guan wanted to listen or not, and started to tell it: "This story starts with a boy's dream."
"There was a boy who always wanted to be a hero, a world-class hero. He aspired to achieve great things like the Emperor Ancestor, and so he studied and cultivated diligently from a young age."
But this child's talent wasn't particularly outstanding. In contrast, another boy, his best friend, had exceptional talent, able to learn anything quickly and master anything just as fast.
Even though this boy only trained sporadically, his achievents surpassed those of the boy who dread of being a hero.
The boy didn't give up, nor did he feel tragic or resentful towards his friend.
Instead, he encouraged his friend to work hard with him, to beco legendary heroes who would save the world together.
The talented boy was moved by this and, from then on, they practiced together, grew together, beca stronger together, and together, step by step, approached glory, constantly advancing towards their dreams.
Until one day, as young n, they t a girl, a girl who had walked out of their childhood.
The girl they had liked together when they were children had grown up, and she was just as beautiful, lovely, and pure as before, almost as if enlarged proportionally.
At this point, the talented boy had already beco a young talent with so fa, and was even a hero in his own right.
While the boy's fa was far less than his, he was still rely the talented boy's subordinate.
But the talented boy knew that the boy was truly charismatic, and if he wanted to win in the competition against the boy, he would have to give it his all.
"So, did the talented boy end up with the girl?" Chen Guan asked curiously.
"You could say yes, or you could say no." Zhong replied, "In fact, the boy was focused on success and didn't care about the girl's affiliation, nor did he think of competing with the talented boy; he just wanted to achieve sothing great."
"But humans are peculiar creatures; the boy didn't care about the girl, but she ended up liking him. The boy wanted the power to change the world, but his talents weren't ideal, while the talented boy easily possessed everything the boy wanted. The talented boy liked the girl, but she ended up liking the ordinary boy."
"Humans are indeed strange creatures." Chen Guan nodded.
"These three individuals were entangled for hundreds of years, and humanity, as this peculiar species, underwent different changes as ti passed."
"The boy from hundreds of years ago wanted to beco a world-class hero; the boy from hundreds of years later suddenly wanted to return to peace."
"The talented boy from hundreds of years ago was indifferent to everything, as if he naturally owned the entire world, but the talented boy from hundreds of years later seed to have transford into the boy from hundreds of years ago, wanting to accomplish his grand plans."
"The girl from hundreds of years ago liked the boy, but hundreds of years later, she ended up liking the talented boy."
"Humans, truly a species that is difficult to fathom." Zhong concluded the story.
"Is it possible that the girl never changed, and she always liked the man who wanted to beco a world-class hero?" Chen Guan pondered aloud.
