Hua Gai: "Don't worry, Xu Ning. You are the darling of heaven and earth. If you don't want to, no one can detect your existence!"
"However, be careful not to face directly, and also, watch out for the Bai family!"
Xu Ning: "Why?"
Hua Gai: "Face to face. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator can see , since I'm the one shielding you!"
"As for the Bai family, they are skilled in celestial secret arts. They can deduce things from what they see, and no one knows what they can deduce!"
Xu Ning: "How does it compare to my Celestial Gaze Technique?"
Hua Gai: "First of all, your Celestial Gaze Technique is incomplete. Also, you haven't completely mastered this secret art!"
Xu Ning: "Why is it incomplete? And why don't I feel anything?"
Hua Gai: "Because it's too difficult. Let explain it to you like this! The Celestial Gaze Technique was once a world-shaking art, with many branches. These branches are interconnected, allowing for mutual calculation and complentarity. A single result can be derived from all analyses."
"However, because it's so difficult, finding a successor is also relatively more challenging. Therefore, during the process of inheritance, branches often separate!"
"For example, if a successor's aptitude is lacking and they only learn one branch, then their lineage will only have that one branch going forward."
"And even a branch of such a great technique is like a complete secret art, completely invisible. Over ti, the various branches branch out and are passed down, resulting in the way we see today."
"The Bai family, however, possesses multiple branches, as well as other related secret arts, allowing them to see many things and combine them to calculate the results."
Xu Ning nodded: "Understood! I'll go to the Bai family to get the secret arts!"
Hua Gai: "..."
Of course, Xu Ning was just joking; he wouldn't take such a risk.
Afterward, Xu Ning returned to his old ways, finding a village and picking up a bowl to beg.
"Please be kind! Give sothing!"
Looking at the passing villagers, Xu Ning waved his broken bowl.
At this mont, a little girl ran over, holding a stead bun in her hands and placing it in Xu Ning's broken bowl: "Here you go!"
Xu Ning quickly said, "Thank you, kind person, thank you!"
At this mont, Xu Ning also looked like a child, almost identical to the little girl.
The little girl smiled shyly and skipped away.
Watching the little girl walk away, Xu Ning looked around and then skipped away, mimicking her movents.

Clothes: "Hahaha, I never expected an old monster who's lived for over a thousand years to have such a side!"
Xu Ning retorted irritably, "Don't talk nonsense, even Jie Yun said I'm too young!"
Clothes: "How can that be the sa? That thing existed since the ergence of spiritual energy, it's ancient, much older than the ancient tis. Think about how long it's existed!"
Xu Ning: "You guys keep talking about the ancient tis, the ancient tis... I'm really curious, how many years ago was the ancient tis?"
Jie Yun then spoke up: "There's actually no strict definition, because the transformation from the ancient tis to the end of the Dharma era was an extrely long process!"
"Spiritual energy didn't thin out in an instant, but rather disappeared little by little. This process alone lasted billions of years."
"If I had to pinpoint a tifra, it would be about five billion years ago, which is considered ancient tis!"
Xu Ning couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Five billion years ago!"
Jie Yun replied, "Compared to ancient tis, that's a relatively short period!"
Xu Ning asked, "Speaking of which, Jie Yun, you should be considered immortal, right?"
Jie Yun replied, "Before you appeared, I actually had no consciousness; I was part of the laws of heaven and earth, so I had no concept of this!"
Xu Ning asked, "So, I gave you consciousness?"
Jie Yun replied, "That's right!"
Thinking about his special ability, Xu Ning couldn't help but wonder, why?
Wait, could it be that I am...?
At that mont, images of the universe, the laws of heaven and earth, powerful immortals, and the river of ti flashed through Xu Ning's mind.
He finally concluded that he was... a lunatic! He was ntally unstable! That's why he could talk to anything! It was a type of hysteria.
It just so happened that his hysteria corresponded to various objects.
Sigh! He couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.
He found a rooftop, sat down on the ground, grabbed a stead bun from a broken bowl, and started eating it.
Looking at the deserted village roads, Xu Ning wondered when the person in charge of recruiting disciples from the Tianyan Mountain Range sects would arrive.
A noble family was out of the question; those ancient families could only be joined through marriage or becoming a son-in-law.
So, the only possibility was one of the nine major sects.
However, he'd heard that the nine major sects had extrely high requirents for discipleship, and Xu Ning didn't know if he could get in.
Spring passed, autumn ca, and winter arrived unnoticed.
A sudden heavy snowfall blanketed the village houses in white.
Xu Ning sat in a dilapidated house, like a bewildered child, looking up at the dense snowflakes falling continuously through the holes in the roof.
To avoid suspicion, Xu Ning hadn't cultivated during this ti, nor revealed any information about cultivation thods or behavior, living entirely as a beggar.
Suddenly, a light flashed through the hole.
Xu Ning couldn't help but rub his eyes, then exclaid in surprise, "A shooting star!"
"Quick, make a wish!"
Xu Ning imdiately clasped his hands, "I hope that in the future I can beco a supre being, traversing the ages, living a life of unparalleled freedom and liberation!"
At that mont, all the things Xu Ning carried in his possession had only one word in mind: speechless!
Jie Yun: "Xu Ning, you might as well wish on instead of on a shooting star!"
Xu Ning turned his head: "Will you grant my wish?"
Jie Yun: "Uh! No!"
Xu Ning glared: "Then that's it, you won't grant it anyway!"
Jie Yun: "But are shooting stars accurate?"
Xu Ning: "I don't know if shooting stars are accurate, it's uncertain, but you've already told you won't grant it!"
Jie Yun: "That seems to make sense!"
Early the next morning, Xu Ning took a bowl and trudged through the deep snow to beg for food.
However, he was destined to get nothing today.
Xu Ning didn't really care about that, seeing that it was pointless, he turned around and went back.
But on the way back, Xu Ning saw a person lying by the roadside, a middle-aged man with disheveled hair.
Looking at the snow around him and the snowflakes still falling from the sky, Xu Ning felt a little sorry for him and quickly went over to check on him.
"Uncle! You can't sleep here!" Xu Ning called out, and then subconsciously squatted down to check on him.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered the person's body was still warm.
"Well, let's take him back and check on him first!"
He grabbed the person's clothes and dragged him away, as if dragging a corpse, leaving a long trail in the snow.
Back in the dilapidated house, Xu Ning tossed the person onto the straw mat and then took his pulse.
Unconsciously, Xu Ning's brows furrowed.
