With Yi Xun 'er leading the way, Xing Jue came to the depths of Wings City and arrived before an ancient forest.
This forest was a restricted area. Even the Winged Clan was not allowed to enter without permission. Yi Xun 'er, the current leader of the Winged Clan, was the same.
Thus, at this moment, Yi Xun 'er only brought Xing Jue to the edge of the forest before stopping and waiting.
Xing Jue entered alone and discovered that there was nothing unusual about the forest. Apart from the fact that the trees were older, there was nothing special about them.
There were no colorful plants, nor was there any colorful brilliance. There was only a stretch of lush green, giving off the feeling of returning to one's natural state.
Whoosh.
The moment he stepped into this place, Xing Jue had already determined the direction of Wings' return.
Thus, he did not stop. Instead, he leapt and disappeared in an instant. He had used teleportation that only Asura Battle Saints knew.
In an instant, the scenery before Xing Jue's eyes changed. When everything froze, he was already in another place.
At that moment, Xing Jue was in the depths of the forest. Not far away was a small stream, and beside the stream was a rocking chair made of bamboo. A person was lying on the rocking chair.
This person was an old man, but there was something different about him. His white hair was as white as snow, and his skin was bright and lustrous.
Although the wrinkles were imprinted on his face, he looked so young. He could be described as a handsome man.
Behind him, there was also a pair of azure wings. However, the color of this pair of wings was deeper, as if it had experienced the changes of time and contained countless stories.
The old man sat peacefully on the rocking chair. The sunlight shone on his body. He was so comfortable, and there was not the slightest ripple.
However, at that moment, Xing Jue frowned slightly. A sliver of admiration appeared in his eyes.
Although the old man did not reveal any aura, Xing Jue could still feel the terrifying power within the old man's body.
This was the first time Xing Jue had felt a threat to him since he had obtained the King's Blade.
Although he was no longer afraid of early-stage Asura Battle Saints, mid-stage Asura Battle Saints still made him feel threatened. At least, this old man in front of him made him feel threatened.
"The Asura Battle Saint is indeed amazing. No matter how strong my bloodline is, I can't overcome the shackles of the realm. There's still an insurmountable gap."
Xing Jue sighed inwardly. He thought that the current him could be said to be invincible under the heavens. After all, when he was only an Asura Battle King, he had been able to defeat the Asura Battle Emperor.
Now that he was an Asura Battle Emperor, Asura Battle Sages were naturally no match for him.
In reality, Xing Jue also felt this sense of superiority, because when he faced Yi Xun 'er and the other Asura Battle Saints, he had indeed found the feeling of being able to crush them.
But now, he realized that he was wrong. When he saw this old man, he realized that he was wrong.
He finally knew how big the gap between Asura Battle Saints was. At least, the Asura Battle Saint in front of him was not an existence that he could easily defeat. Unless he used Soul Eruption to increase his cultivation, there would be no hope of victory.
"Junior Xing Jue pays his respects to Senior Yi Guitu."
After sighing, Xing Jue knelt on the ground with a "plop" and kowtowed to the old man.
Because from the beginning, he knew that this old man was the former patriarch of the Wings Clan, the benefactor who opened up the Fallen Goose Valley and prevented the corpses of the Soul Eater Clan members from being exposed to the wilderness.
"Hey, Xing Jue, my little friend, please get up."
"With your current status, an old man like me can't accept such a great gift from you."
Yi Guitu already knew that Xing Jue had come, but when he opened his eyes and saw Xing Jue's actions, he was still slightly surprised and hurriedly went up to support him.
"Senior Yi, this junior is unable to repay the great kindness you have shown my Soul Eater Clan." Xing Jue did not get up but continued to kowtow.
Because Yi Guitu was a true benefactor to him and the Soul Eater Clan.
After all, the Soul Eater Clan had offended not some faction or some overlord, but the ruler of the Sanctuary, the Saint God.
Under that kind of situation, Yi Guitu, who had no relations with the Soul Eater Clan and Hun Wuji, actually dared to appear. This was naturally a shocking matter.
"Great kindness? Ah, I know. My little friend Xing Jue, it must be because of what happened back then. "
"My dear friend encountered misfortune, his clan encountered a great calamity, and I could only stand by and watch, powerless to do anything."
"After everything happened, helping his clan take care of the future generations is something that should be done. This cannot be called a great feat, much less a great kindness." Suddenly, Yi Guitu laughed lightly.
"Dear friend?" After hearing Yi Guitu's words, Xing Jue suddenly raised his head. His eyes were filled with a hint of shock.
"Are you very surprised? Your ancestor, Hun Wuji, and I are true friends. It's just that no one knows. "
"Actually, there are many things in this world that are not as simple as they appear on the surface. There are many things that people do not know."
"It is not only my relationship with Hun Wuji. It is the same for Ling Wangren that you just obtained."
"Very few people know of Ling Wangren's existence, much less his creator. That's because Ling Wangren has always been hidden within Hun Wuji's body." Yi Guitu continued to narrate.
"This …" Xing Jue still stood there blankly, unable to conceal his shock.
"Stand up. You really don't need to thank me for anything. I merely helped my dear friend complete what he could not."
Yi Guitu extended his hand and helped Xing Jue up. Then, he started to carefully examine Xing Jue. His bright eyes were filled with admiration.
"Not bad. You do have some of Hun Wuji's elegance when he was young. I have not waited here for so long in vain. It was worth it." Suddenly, Yi Guitu laughed heartily. It could be seen that he was very satisfied with Xing Jue.
"Senior, could it be that you have been waiting here for me?" Xing Jue asked in surprise.
"To be more precise, I have been waiting for someone who can inherit Hun Wuji's legacy."
"Looking at it now, you are the one who can inherit Hun Wuji's legacy."
Yi Guitu faintly smiled, then continued.
"Everyone feels that Hun Wuji is a traitor and a traitor."
"However, they do not know that Xing Jue fought against the Sheng God because he had no other choice."
"No other choice? Senior, what do you mean? "Xing Jue asked anxiously. At that moment, his heart was filled with shock.
"Hun Wuji is a very smart person. During the peak battle, he personally witnessed the divine might of the Sheng God. He knew that he was not the Sheng God's match, so why would he seek trouble with the Sheng God?"
"However, he also knew that his strength had already made the Sheng God feel threatened. The Sheng God would not allow him to continue growing."
"Rather than waiting for death, it was better to take the initiative to attack. In any case, it would be difficult to escape. That was why Hun Wuji rebelled against the Sheng God."
"Hun Wuji seemed to have guessed everything. He guessed that he would fail, and guessed that the Sheng God would punish the Spirit Eater Race."
"So, before he fought against the Sheng God, he found me and told me to guard this place, to protect the Spirit Eater Race. If necessary, to hand it over to the descendants of the Spirit Eater Race."
"I have waited for so long, and you have finally arrived. I think my mission is complete."
When he said that, Yi Guitu looked at Xing Jue with a complicated gaze. It was not only admiration, but also more of hope.
"I didn't think that there would be such a secret."
"Ancestor, don't worry. I will definitely rescue you from the Soul Source World."
After learning the truth, Xing Jue clenched his fists tightly. His hatred for the Sheng God intensified.
"Xing Jue, I know what you are planning to do now, and I also know the abilities you possess."
"But the power of the Sheng God is not something you can imagine. He controls a power that we cannot even touch. That is a power that you cannot imagine."
"Unless you also possess that power, I do not wish for you to offend him."
"You must know that the hope of the Spirit Eater Race rests entirely on your shoulders."
"Although you have experienced endless suffering along the way, from the Mortal World to the Sacred Region, there has always been someone secretly protecting you. This is a test that Hun Wuji has arranged beforehand."
