In truth, even if Liang Zhilei hadn't ntioned it, Jiang Yifeng wouldn't have willingly approached a powerhouse like the Void Lord.
Afterward, Jiang Yifeng chatted with Liang Zhilei about many things, asking him nurous questions about the Land of Primordial Beginning.
Liang Zhilei looked at Jiang Yifeng with a puzzled expression. To him, it seed too early for Jiang Yifeng to be inquiring about the Land of Primordial Beginning. After all, Jiang Yifeng was still more than a major realm away from reaching the Primordial realm.
However, when he thought about how Jiang Yifeng's simulator could even resurrect him after being obliterated by the rules of the Primordial Prison, it seed plausible that Jiang Yifeng might have so ans to reach the Land of Primordial Beginning earlier than expected.
With this in mind, Liang Zhilei didn't hold back and explained the situation of the Land of Primordial Beginning to Jiang Yifeng in detail. He told Jiang Yifeng that the Land of Primordial Beginning wasn't very large, not even as big as the reincarnation world where Jiang Yifeng resided. In fact, it was roughly the size of the Southern Regions.
As for why it was like this, Liang Zhilei couldn't say for sure. He only ntioned that it had been this way when he arrived. The Land of Primordial Beginning was filled with Dao and rules, making it an excellent place for cultivation. However, because of the pervasive rules, without reaching the Primordial realm or having corresponding rules to protect oneself, one could easily be obliterated by them.
Moreover, the population in the Land of Primordial Beginning was sparse, with hardly any entertainnt activities. Most people were in seclusion, detached from worldly affairs. The only place of entertainnt was a tavern run by Liang Zhilei, where he kept his old fla and so songstresses he had brought from various worlds.
Liang Zhilei made it clear that if Jiang Yifeng ever had the chance to visit the Land of Primordial Beginning, he must visit his tavern. However, he also ntioned the current situation there, saying that the Void Lord was currently battling the Primordial Prison, causing so disturbances in the Land of Primordial Beginning. He advised Jiang Yifeng not to think about going there anyti soon.
The conversation with Liang Zhilei was greatly beneficial to Jiang Yifeng. He expressed his gratitude sincerely, but Liang Zhilei just waved it off, saying, "We're from the sa place, no need to be so formal!"
Jiang Yifeng was taken aback by his words. He stared intently at Liang Zhilei, asking word by word, "From the sa place? You an from the sa place?" His mind was racing, eager to know if Liang Zhilei ant what he thought.
Seeing Jiang Yifeng's excitent, Liang Zhilei scratched his head awkwardly and smiled, "Ah, I forgot to ntion; I'm from Earth too!"
Hearing Liang Zhilei's confirmation, Jiang Yifeng was first shocked, then relieved. If he could transmigrate, why couldn't others? Moreover, Liang Zhilei being a transmigrator explained why he had been helping him all along. If they weren't from the sa place, why would Liang Zhilei help him? Was it really just because of their shared visits to pleasure houses?
Having figured it out, Jiang Yifeng gave Liang Zhilei a knowing smile. eting an old acquaintance in a foreign land—what could be more delightful?
They continued to chat for a long ti, discussing everything from the reincarnation world to the Primordial Beginning, and from the Primordial Beginning to Earth. Caught up in the mont, Jiang Yifeng found himself being dragged into another pleasure house by Liang Zhilei, against his initial resolve to avoid such places.
However, Jiang Yifeng didn't mind. After all, they were in a mortal realm, which wouldn't have much impact. In the mortal kingdom of Qingfeng City, in a pleasure house nad Yingchun Pavilion, Liang Zhilei and Jiang Yifeng drank and enjoyed the music...
Liang Zhilei was in high spirits, thoroughly enjoying himself, and Jiang Yifeng didn't spoil the mood. After several rounds of drinks, Liang Zhilei noticed a certain ethereal quality in the songstress's deanor and asked, "May I know your na, miss?"
The beautiful songstress replied with a smile, "I am Xue Hongyan."
Before Liang Zhilei could respond, Jiang Yifeng frowned. Why did this na sound so familiar? After pondering for a while, he finally rembered. In a previous simulation, when he inquired about the origins of an artifact refining master of half-Dao level in the Immortal Realm, he was given a journal. The journal detailed the origins of artifact refining, with Liang Zhilei as the founder, but the one who truly spread it was Xue Hongyan, because Liang Zhilei had only left the complete guide to her.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yifeng shook his head slightly. He hadn't expected this narrative loop to close at this mont. But he couldn't understand why Liang Zhilei, with his level of cultivation, couldn't see through this loop. Even if he couldn't see it, Liang Zhilei's tiline didn't follow the river of ti. Although they were in the reincarnation world nine billion years ago, in Liang Zhilei's reality, the Southern Regions were actually in the past, and the current ti was in the future. With Liang Zhilei's cultivation, he should have known about the path of artifact refining when he was in the real Southern Regions, right?
If so, why did he still co to this historical tiline? Why did he facilitate this loop?
While Jiang Yifeng was puzzled, Liang Zhilei's voice rang out. "Hahaha, so you're Xue Hongyan! How interesting, how interesting. In that case, I must stay here a few more days!"
Xue Hongyan, not understanding Liang Zhilei's words, assud he wanted to stay the night. Her expression changed, and she coldly said, "I sell my art, not my body; please respect yourself, sir!" With that, she slamd the door and left.
Liang Zhilei didn't say much, just watched Xue Hongyan's departing figure, lost in thought. Beside him, Jiang Yifeng, hearing Liang Zhilei's laughter, found the answer to his earlier confusion. Liang Zhilei indeed knew this was a loop, but he wasn't entirely opposed to it. Instead, he was curious and wanted to understand Xue Hongyan.
Jiang Yifeng could already guess the subsequent events. Perhaps it was Liang Zhilei's personality that led him to complete the loop, even knowing it was one. As recorded before, Liang Zhilei might have fallen in love with Xue Hongyan, or there could be other reasons, but he definitely completed the loop.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Yifeng bid farewell to Liang Zhilei, ready to leave this place of indulgence. Half a month of revelry was his limit. It was ti to focus on cultivation. Liang Zhilei could indulge because he was strong enough, without needing to worry about saving himself or rescuing family and friends before the world's destruction. After all, he had no family in this world, and as for friends, they were likely in the Land of Primordial Beginning. In such a situation, he could afford to play around.
But Jiang Yifeng couldn't. He still faced the crisis of the black-robed man and the world's destruction. To save his family and friends, he had to keep cultivating!
Liang Zhilei didn't try to persuade Jiang Yifeng to stay. He understood Jiang Yifeng's crisis to so extent. He could help a bit, but he couldn't stop the world's destruction. So, everything depended on Jiang Yifeng himself.
Jiang Yifeng waved goodbye and left alone, while Liang Zhilei remained in the pleasure house, observing Xue Hongyan, wanting to see what it was about her that attracted him, what made him willingly give her the complete guide to artifact refining.
Perhaps this was the terrifying aspect of fate. Maybe Liang Zhilei's personality was already anticipated by fate; otherwise, this loop couldn't have been completed.
