Qi Brothers
Long Chen admired the old man from the bottom of his heart. If it hadn't been for him in the Battle of Tianhuang in his previous life, many Saints would have died.
There were even many people who directly took root here, unwilling to be involved in the war.
Because of this, the old man deserved his respect.
However, in his previous life, although Long Chen knew about this place, he had never seen the old man.
The old man's words startled Long Chen. These words seemed to have a deeper meaning.
Before Long Chen could speak, the old man turned sideways and motioned for Long Chen and the others to follow him into the village.
Many big men standing at the entrance of the village greeted Long Chen and the others with smiles. These people were all wearing low-level demon beast leather clothes and carrying a basket of arrows. Their dark skin and simple eyes gave people a good impression of them.
"What a handsome young man, what a beautiful woman, what a fat fatty …"
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and ask your mother and the other women in the village to cook. Old Immortal has invited all the distinguished guests!"
"Go, go, go! Kill all the demonic beasts we hunted yesterday and wash them clean."
…
Amidst the shouts of the crowd, Long Chen led the three Mythological Beast Fighting Souls into the village and walked towards the statue.
However, the Taotie Fighting Soul was still brooding over the fatty's words. It kept staring at its own stomach, causing the Kirin Fighting Soul to chuckle.
"This place is simple and crude. Everyone, please take a seat." The old man shook his head and laughed softly.
As his words fell, he waved his right hand, and the scattered gilded statues on the ground miraculously turned into a square table and five chairs.
Many of the villagers who passed by began to pay their respects to the old man. There were even some mischievous youths who began to offer incense and make wishes.
The eyes of the three Divine Beast Fighting Souls could not help but shrink. Their bodies could not help but tremble as a sense of vigilance appeared in their hearts.
In terms of danger, this old man was probably far more terrifying than the 23 Virtual Immortals from before.
Long Chen didn't seem to notice. He just looked at the old man and stretched out his hand. "Please."
The two of them took a step forward and sat down at the same time. The three Mythological Beast War Souls stood one step behind Long Chen. They had no intention of sitting down.
The old man called out softly, "Get a pot of well water and a few bamboo leaves for me and Mister to make tea …"
An old man dressed in a ceremonial robe hurriedly went down.
Long Chen stared at the old man and said indifferently, "Senior, please forgive me for disturbing you today."
The old man waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's fine. Since I'm here, you're my guest. You don't have to respect me as your senior. I'm just an old turtle on the continent …"
"My young friend Xu Chang has been here for many years. The people here all regard me as an immortal. If you don't mind, you can just call me Old Turtle or Old Immortal."
Long Chen mulled over the old man's words and said, "Old Immortal, your cultivation is much higher than mine. Why do you say that?"
The old man smiled but didn't say anything. Long Chen paused and waved his hand, signaling the three Mythological Beast War Souls to retreat.
The three Mythical Beast Fighting Souls pondered for a moment and then slowly retreated.
The old man then said, "I've been cultivating here for countless years. Although I'm not very talented, I've lived a long life. That's why I have such a cultivation. I've seen too much in my life …"
"Your Divine Sense is much stronger than anyone I've ever seen. Moreover, I've heard about what you've done in the Waste Region."
"If I'm not wrong, your previous life was definitely an expert who dominated the Sky Region."
The corners of Long Chen's mouth curled up in a smile. He listened to the old man's words but did not reply.
The old man used the words' previous life 'instead of' previous life '. This meant that the old man was thinking that Long Chen had seized a body to be reborn.
Long Chen didn't want to continue talking about this topic, so he went straight to the point and said in a deep voice, "Old Immortal, did you follow me out of this place and turn the tide …"
Turn the tide!
As soon as he said that, the old man looked at Long Chen with admiration in his eyes.
However, he immediately shook his head and said, "I naturally know what you mean. Now that the people of the Sky Region have arrived, the entire Ancient Desolate Land will soon be in a catastrophe …"
"But today, you've found the wrong person. I've been in this village for seven thousand years and I've never taken a step out of the village."
"Not in the past, not now, and not in the future."
The old man's words stunned Long Chen.
He looked at the tea that had been served and the fragrance wafted in the air. He frowned and said bluntly again, "How can you participate in the Battle of Heaven Wasteland?"
The old man was still calm as he filled Long Chen's teacup. A wisp of green smoke curled up as he replied, "Unless this village dominates the entire Ancient Desolate Land and the people who participate in the Battle of Heaven Wasteland are all villagers …"
Buzz.
Long Chen's mind suddenly shook. He stared at the old man's eyes and seemed to understand something.
This village was the old man's Dao heart!
Long Chen became the youngest Sovereign expert in the Sky Region in his previous life and dominated the Sky Region. His obsession with revenge and the desire to revive his parents were his Dao heart.
It was also because of these things that he shouldered too much in his previous life.
But looking at the world, every expert had a Dao heart …
The Dao heart had nothing to do with cultivation. No one knew what it was, but the Dao heart was related to every cultivator.
If talent, bloodline, and background were the foundation of an expert's rise, then the Dao heart was the magical thing that determined how far an expert could go.
Long Chen stared at the tea in his hand and no longer had the intention to persuade the old man.
Because he knew that once he gave up on this village, the old man would most likely die.
This was like asking Jian Shisan to give up the sword in his hand, asking Long Chen to give up his brothers, Qing Xuan, Ye Hailan, and the Dao in his heart.
The two did not speak for a long time. They drank three cups of tea intermittently. Unknowingly, the sky had darkened.
The setting sun shone on the gilded table in front of Long Chen and the old man, reflecting the sky.
The old man stared at Long Chen and said again, "Although this old man has no intention of leaving this place, I have two old friends who should be able to help you. If you are willing, I can point you in the right direction …"
Long Chen's pupils suddenly shrank and he subconsciously asked, "The Qi brothers?"
Hmm?
The old man was startled when he heard this and asked doubtfully, "How do you know it's the two of them …"
Long Chen did not answer. The two brothers were the other two people on this trip.
The two of them traveled in the mountains and became famous in the later stages of the battle of Tian Huang Region. They killed countless experts of the Sky Region.
Seeing that Long Chen did not answer, the old man continued, "I met the two of them two hundred years ago. At that time, they were just in the Human King realm."
"At that time, the two of them went up the mountain and never came down again. Until a hundred years ago, the two of them would come to find me every year."
"If you want the two of them to leave the mountain with you, you can only gamble!"
… …
Long Chen and the old man interacted for a night. The next morning, when the ground was covered with dew, the old immortal directly tore open the space and sent Long Chen and the others away.
"Remember what I said. Otherwise, the two of them will not leave the mountain."
"This village is open to anyone. Little friend, if you have time, you can come back at any time …" The old man's voice spread and he stood in the middle of the stone platform again.
Rays of gilded light once again covered his body and the whole village seemed to have returned to its former calm.
