The Divine Realm, that’s what Li Xiaobai calls this place.
He doesn’t know where this world is, but the air here is rich with divine substances. Every breath makes him feel refreshed, incomparable to the starry skies of the universe.
Li Xiaobai sits in the audience seats, curiously looking around. [White] had explained that cultivators from the starry skies can only move around the venue and the rest area, and cannot wander freely.
[White] took a group of people around the ring once to understand the competition venue, then went into the rest area to wait.
There’s still a day before the battle starts, plenty of ti.
There’s only one rest area, and a few people sat on the ground, closing their eyes to rest.
Li Xiaobai sized up these people. [White] was still shrouded in a cloud of black mist, his face unseen.
The rookie is a short bald man, wearing a denim vest, with a furry hat on his head and an axe hanging at his waist. Just looking at his appearance, he looks like a lumberjack.
Baibai Tianjun is a young man who doesn’t wear clothes, with only a few leaves tied in private areas. He is slender and has a cold expression.
As for the remaining two, they are old acquaintances, Su Yunbing and Xiao Lao Di. Su Yunbing, as usual, has a domineering deanor, leaning against the wall, exuding a presumptuous aura that can be felt from afar.
Xiao Lao Di has changed a lot. Compared to the mory, he now seems like dead wood, his face haggard, the whole person skinny like a skeletal fra, as if he could die of old age at any mont.
He is called the Human Progenitor, which is marked on the list.
Li Xiaobai leans to Su Yunbing: "Senior Sister, Junior Brother is here to see you!"
Su Yunbing opened her eyes, scanning Li Xiaobai, her delicate face showing a hint of a smile: "Long ti no see. Junior Brother has beco remarkable, your performance on the battlefield was very impressive."
"Thank you, Senior Sister. Other Senior Brothers say you’ve changed, but I don’t believe it. You’re still that fearless Senior Sister!"
Li Xiaobai laughed. This was flattery; the brothers are too familiar with each other. Just one conversation and he could feel the change in Senior Sister, just like Second Sister said, Su Yunbing radiates the aura of an extre warrior from head to toe, her heart filled with battle, leaving no room for other emotions.
Su Yunbing was pleased, a happy reunion, plus Junior Brother’s praise, put her in a great mood: "Naturally, the word fear doesn’t exist in Senior Sister’s dictionary. Tomorrow, let Senior Sister show you what the pinnacle looks like."
Li Xiaobai followed: "In that case, Senior Sister, could you tell your little brother what happened five hundred years ago? Other Senior Brothers and Sisters are timid and wary, but Senior Sister is different from them and will definitely tell, right?"
At these words, Su Yunbing’s expression slightly changed, her smile stiffened for a mont: "Junior Brother, you know Senior Sister has a bad mory. The events of five hundred years ago are too distant to rember, but since Junior Brother asked, I’ll find out for you later."
Li Xiaobai was speechless. Apparently, even his own Senior Sister didn’t dare to speak plainly. He hadn’t ntioned anything specific; just ntioning five hundred years ago made Senior Sister evasive. It seems what happened is more extraordinary than imagined.
"Have you seen Old Six?"
"I have. Second and Fourth Senior Sisters said Sixth Brother is a traitor, they’re hunting him down."
"So, everyone is out. Looks like the day our brothers reunite isn’t far off."
Su Yunbing didn’t comnt on Liu Jinshui, chatted a bit idly, Li Xiaobai knew he wouldn’t get more useful information, so he moved to Xiao Lao Di.
"Senior, it’s ! Long ti no see, I’m here to see you!"
Xiao Lao Di squinted his eyes into a slit, speaking with a trembling voice: "I know you, a friend t by my clone in the lower realm. In the battle at the Divine Children’s Garden, you perford well."
"Senior, what happened back then, were you captured by the Immortal Gods?"
"Everyone was worried about you..."
Li Xiaobai asked. He wasn’t surprised that Xiao Lao Di is a clone; after all, he still has an old man in a purple crystal with him.
This one might be the true form, while the one in the crystal might be a clone.
"Immortal Gods?"
"Don’t know them. What’s their contact info? I’ll check them out later."
Xiao Lao Di directly played dumb, claiming not to know the Immortal Gods.
"But..."
"But what?"
"Long ago, when I created a Cultivation Technique, I split into many clones, specifically to cultivate in the mortal world, comprehend life, in hopes that when they returned to the true form, their insights would lead to improvent."
Xiao Lao Di suddenly talked about his past.
Li Xiaobai couldn’t help but ask: "And then?"
"Then I had a thought, power is limited, but nature is limitless. If you rge your body with the heaven and earth’s nature using the most primitive pure technique, you can reach unexpected realms."
"Do you know that the so-called cultivation techniques were originally re mortal martial arts? It’s through step-by-step evolution, sacrifice, refinent, that they beca the Great Divine Power capable of flying in the sky and burrowing underground. So I stripped all my power, sealed it in a purple crystal, fully transford into a re mortal, retracing the most primitive state."
Xiao Lao Di said aningfully.
This explains why he is aged beyond recognition, seemingly about to decay on the spot.
Because he abandoned cultivation, becoming a re old man, who is really about to die of old age.
Li Xiaobai got a shiver down his spine: "Senior, why are you telling this, do you see as a genius, wanting to teach the most primitive techniques?"
Xiao Lao Di’s lips curled: "Because the cultivation I stripped away is right on you, I can feel that familiar aura. I buried it in the Imperial City of the human race, and you dug it up, didn’t you?"
Li Xiaobai waved his hands: "Senior jests, I was just passing by the Imperial City, happened to see your cultivation being dug up, and couldn’t bear to ignore it, so I brought it with care."
"No need to be nervous. Since it’s on you, it’s fate. Take good care of it, it’ll help you."
"Perhaps because you’re a friend with my clone, that’s why I’m telling you these things."
Xiao Lao Di laughed nacingly, the wrinkles on his face twisting together.
Li Xiaobai dared not be impudent. Although this form has so of Xiao Lao Di’s tricky traits, it also has the majesty of endless years of cultivation.
And abandoning his own cultivation so decisively, he’s definitely ruthless.
But thinking carefully, it seems like he’s hit the jackpot. The old man in the crystal isn’t just a clone, but also embodies all the power of this one called the Human Progenitor. No wonder through the crystal, it can shake many predecessors to death. If released in the future, it’s definitely a great weapon.
"Alright, don’t make a fuss, soon soone will co to explain the schedule. Squat in the corner, don’t disturb us."
Li Xiaobai wanted to say sothing, but [White] spoke directly, silencing him.
Li Xiaobai sulked, squatting next to Su Yunbing. Out of everyone here, Senior Sister is still the closest.
