Could it be Primordial Qi?!
Elder Bai i sensed an incredibly pure Innate Rule Qi from this black-and-white leaf, directly pointing to the Origin!
Moreover, this "Origin" is not the origin of a specific world, but the most primal origin, the "origin" of the entire Ten Thousand Realms.
This kind of "Primordial Qi" appeared only at the mont when heaven and earth first opened and the Ten Thousand Realms were born. As for exactly how many types of Primordial Qi were born at that ti, even Elder Bai i himself does not know.
Because when the Ten Thousand Realms were born, he had not yet appeared in this world. Even though he has lived for endless ages, those who have lived longer than the entire Ten Thousand Realms can likely be counted on two hands.
Compared to the mont when the Ten Thousand Realms were born, he is still too immature.
The reason he recognizes "Primordial Qi" is that a long ti ago, he obtained a trace of Primordial Qi.
So, even if he cannot identify what this Primordial Qi specifically is, he knows it must be Primordial Qi. As for what exactly it is, that is not important.
...
The trace of Primordial Qi he obtained was "Innate Ti Qi."
In his understanding, "Innate Ti Qi" was one stone divided into ten parts after the birth of the Ten Thousand Realms. Nine parts were integrated into the River of Ti, while the last part was divided into ten strands.
These ten strands of Innate Ti Qi wandered through the Ten Thousand Realms, becoming a heaven-defying opportunity that countless powerful beings fought over.
And he, in that ancient battle, managed to seize one of these strands and fled after obtaining it.
As a result, he was pursued for millions of years. At that ti, his strength was not sufficient, and when facing those Chaosbringers at the top of the Ten Thousand Realms’ pyramid, he could only flee frantically.
Perhaps it was sheer luck, but he successfully escaped the pursuit and underwent reincarnation nine tis, washing away all the karmic traces from his body, and only then did he completely break free from the pursuit. That strand of "Innate Ti Qi" was preserved until this day.
This is also why he is able to reside above the River of Ti.
But because he only obtained a trace of it, not even one percent, he cannot reside on the River of Ti for long. At most, he can stay for a year, after which he must leave the River of Ti to cleanse the ti-related karma from his body.
Although "Innate Ti Qi" and the "River of Ti" both involve the "origin" of the Ten Thousand Realms, they are not of the sa level.
This is because when the Ten Thousand Realms were born, the River of Ti was the first to be born, aning that the stone of "Innate Ti Qi" was rely a surplus "Ti Rule" that overflowed, not affecting the completeness of the River of Ti.
The River of Ti is the true origin.
There is also a seldom-known legend that the River of Ti was born first, and the Ten Thousand Realms followed.
In other words, the essence of the River of Ti not only governs the Ten Thousand Realms but is even higher than the Ten Thousand Realms.
This gave rise to the saying that after the Ten Thousand Realms crumble, the River of Ti will not crumble and will evolve to create the next Ten Thousand Realms.
However, this saying has not been proven by anyone.
Because none of the people in the current Ten Thousand Realms know whether it has crumbled and been reborn in cycles. To them, the Ten Thousand Realms have always existed, never having crumbled before. If they were to crumble, all would return to chaos, to void, and everything would lose its aning.
Thus, even Elder Bai i does not know for sure whether the Ten Thousand Realms will crumble. He does not know how many cycles of the Ten Thousand Realms this current existence is...
Perhaps only those who have survived since the previous cycle of the Ten Thousand Realms know this truth.
However, such people probably do not exist, and if they do, they are not known to Elder Bai i...
But in any case, one thing can be confird, that is, the River of Ti is the true "Supre Origin," and this is beyond doubt.
Because of a known truth—"Ti gives aning to everything."
Only ti can keep everything flowing and give all things the aning to exist.
So cultivators always say—"When ti recedes, space is king."
This phrase seems to praise the power of the Ti Rule, but actually elevates the status of the "Space Rules," and from the real circumstances, ti and space cannot be compared, cannot be put on the sa level for comparison.
Concepts like "space," "fate," "causality," and "reincarnation" are all given aning by "ti," hence there is an essential difference.
This is why when Su Mu beca the River Guardian of the River of Ti, it caused an uproar throughout the Ten Thousand Realms.
His na has already beco legendary, echoing like thunder in the highest circles of the Ten Thousand Realms.
"Those people" are gradually becoming unsettled, starting to panic.....
They begin to probe Su Mu, testing the extent of his control over the River of Ti, questioning why he guards it, where he cos from, his purpose, why he can manipulate the River of Ti, whether he is rely a guardian or is refining the river, and what kind of power he truly possesses....
Elder Bai i also has these questions, but he approaches them with a "friendly" attitude.
He does not care why Su Mu guards the River of Ti, for now, it is not important. What is important is he just wants to stay peacefully above the River of Ti, to live until the collapse of the Ten Thousand Realms. To be precise, he wants to live until that day to see if the Ten Thousand Realms also have a "lifespan."
Another theory suggests that so speculate Su Mu may not be a "creature" but rely a manifestation of the River of Ti’s consciousness.
Since there has never been a case of any creature controlling the River of Ti, never, not even in records....
.....
Therefore, from the beginning, he intended to make friends with Su Mu, not enemies.
He is devoid of desires and does not wish to climb higher; he has seen his own limits. He only wishes to live... quietly continue living...
While "certain people" are different from him, still wanting to ascend higher, to reach the extre, to the end, and thus regard Su Mu with hostile "tests."
Elder Bai i does not delve deeply into these legends and has no desire to do so.
In truth, he prefers to see a situation where Su Mu is an independent living being, not so manifestation of will.
He also wants to see what will happen when a true creature masters the River of Ti, and where the end of this "cultivation" path lies.....
While Elder Bai i was pondering.
Su Mu had already used the black and white leaves as bait, hooking it to a fishing line and casting it into the pond.
Elder Bai i stared intently at Su Mu’s float on the pond, his expression sowhat solemn, appearing a bit tense, as if worried about what Su Mu might reel in.....
