Qiao Liqun was a burly middle-aged man. He had a bronze face and a simple smile. There was nothing special about his aura. He looked like an old farmer.
However, with Bai Xiaowen's keen senses, he was able to sense an unusual aura from Qiao Liqun's eyes. That pair of eyes seemed to be hiding many secrets.
"Uncle Qiao." Xia Feng was very respectful to Qiao Liqun.
"Little Feng, you've grown very quickly," Qiao Liqun said with a smile. Then, he glanced at Bai Xiaowen. "You are …"
"Lu Wang. Previously, I'm indebted to Senior Qiao for passing a message to Big Brother Xia to protect the White Phoenix Territory, "Bai Xiaowen said with cupped hands.
"Hahaha, it's nothing," Qiao Liqun said.
"If it's convenient for Senior Qiao, can you tell me why you want Big Brother Xia to take care of the White Phoenix Territory?" Bai Xiaowen went straight to the point.
Qiao Liqun smiled. "There's a girl called Qiao Rui in your territory, right? She's my great-grandniece … "
Bai Xiaowen's jaw almost dropped. He immediately sent a private message in the Overlord Group and asked Qiao Rui to fly to the White Phoenix Territory through the territory's teleportation array to meet him.
During this process, Qiao Liqun also briefly explained his relationship with Qiao Rui, including the Qiao family on Earth.
It turned out that Qiao Liqun was a first-generation evolver who had experienced the great change in the Year of Spirit Origin. He also had an elder brother called Qiao Tie …
Bai Xiaowen was shocked again. Qiao Tie was a legendary person in Hua Xia.
It was not an exaggeration to call him a national hero. His portrait was one of the seven great meritorious officials who had been printed on the first edition of the banknotes.
Qiao Tie had passed away many years ago. Qiao Liqun was his younger brother. This meant that Qiao Liqun's age was already …
"That's right. I'm 117 years old this year," Qiao Liqun said with a smile.
"I … I really couldn't tell." Bai Xiaowen sighed as he looked at Qiao Liqun, who looked like a middle-aged man without a single strand of white hair.
"Brother Xia, don't call him Uncle Qiao anymore … Otherwise, you'll be taking advantage of Sister Qiao." Bai Xiaowen tried to ease the tension.
However, Qiao Liqun smiled and said, "There's no need. My mentality is still very young. Let's talk about our own …"
"Why haven't I heard Sister Qiao mention your name before?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"Well, back then, my elder brother, Qiao Rui's great-grandfather, Qiao Tie, and I had some misunderstandings. When we were roaming the Spiritual Realm, we split up."
Qiao Liqun had no intention of explaining in detail. He just said, "I once encountered a crisis in the Spiritual Realm and almost died … Later, I was fortunate enough to meet the God of Truth. The Divine Lord wanted me to break away from my relationship with the Qiao Family, so I changed my name and pretended that I had died in that crisis. Elder Brother Qiao Tie probably also thought that I was dead, so the Qiao Family's descendants didn't know about me. "
Qiao Liqun continued, "When I was in the Star Alliance, I was actually paying attention to the Qiao Family's movements … The Qiao Family hasn't had an evolver for a long time. I'm still very happy that a descendant suddenly appeared. Seeing that you're in trouble and that it's not convenient for me to help, I can only ask Xiaofeng for help. "
"I see." Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Qiao."
Although he said that, Bai Xiaowen still had a trace of doubt in his heart. Because of Qiao Rui, Qiao Liqun had asked Xia Feng to protect the White Phoenix Territory. In the end, it was still a bit far-fetched.
However, Qiao Liqun clearly didn't have any ill intentions.
Bai Xiaowen decided not to delve into it for the time being and turned to chat with Qiao Liqun.
Qiao Liqun, who had lived for 117 years, could be said to be a living history of the Spirit Ability Era. He started from the invasion of Earth's spirit droplets and the mutation of living creatures, all the way to how humans had relied on exploration to embark on the path of the Awakened, and then fought back against the mutated creatures and the invading creatures from the Spirit Realm. Finally, the process of establishing one base city after another was definitely a magnificent epic.
Qiao Rui had also arrived later. After meeting with Qiao Liqun, they were still somewhat unfamiliar with each other.
However, Qiao Liqun was extremely emotional, and his eyes were somewhat moist.
Bai Xiaowen's heart skipped a beat. "Senior Qiao, don't you have any descendants in the Star Alliance or on Earth?"
Qiao Liqun shook his head and said, "Back then, I was even more obsessed with cultivation than Xia Feng and delayed my youth. Later on, I had a few partners, but none of them had any descendants. Now that I'm more than a hundred years old, my feelings toward relationships have become more and more indifferent. I'm not prepared to have any more children. "
After pausing for a moment, Qiao Liqun said, "Actually, it's very difficult for you and Xiaofeng to have any descendants. The stronger the humans, the less likely it is to have children. This should be common knowledge, right? "
Bai Xiaowen nodded.
For example, Lord Tai Shan, Li Beihai, had three wives, but only had one daughter. After all, he was just an elite evolver.
Although Awakened ones were more powerful than ordinary people, they also had to pay a lot. A low fertility rate was just one of the reasons.
Of course, the heavens were fair. The stronger the Awakened/Evolver, the less likely it was to have descendants. However, once they did have descendants, the descendants' potential would definitely be very outstanding.
Qiao Liqun patted Qiao Rui's shoulder and handed over a book. "This is the first time we've met. Great-uncle doesn't have anything good to give you. I don't have much use for this book, so I'll give it to you. "
Bai Xiaowen glanced at it.
The title of the book was [Black Magic Research Journal], and the author's name was Gugani. He didn't know who he was.
However, this book could give evolvers a priority of 8 points. It was a proper king-level book!
Qiao Rui was obviously shocked by this cheap great-uncle's offer. However, she still refused. "Great-uncle, I can't learn a second profession book."
"Who said you can't?" Qiao Liqun took out two yellow crystals and handed them to Qiao Rui. "Just use them like spirit crystals. After you use them, you should be able to start cultivating a second profession book. Of course, it's up to you whether you want to cultivate it or not. "
Bai Xiaowen glanced at them again. The two yellow crystals were called "God's Origin Crystals", and their uses were unknown.
Just looking at the name, it was already amazing. These two God's Origin Crystals were probably equivalent to the Overlord's Proof of Awakened One. However, if it could be traded to others, it would definitely be rarer than the Overlord's Proof.
Bai Xiaowen could only say that Qiao Rui was indeed a master who had lived for more than 100 years and had experienced the great changes of the world. He also had the backing of the God of Truth. He had a lot of good things.
Just from these two God's Origin Crystals, he could see part of Qiao Liqun's strength. He definitely surpassed Xia Feng.
Bai Xiaowen was now almost convinced by the God of Truth's statement that His Chosen One had to have the qualifications to become a God to be selected. He wondered if Qiao Liqun was also walking on the path to becoming a God.
In any case, Qiao Rui had received a generous gift. Bai Xiaowen would definitely be happy for her.
It wasn't strange that Qiao Liqun didn't give Bai Xiaowen a greeting gift. Qiao Liqun placed Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng on equal footing. Both of them were partners who would explore the Land of Origin with him.
Moreover, even if he gave Xia Feng and Bai Xiaowen a King-level profession classic and God's Origin Crystal each, the two of them wouldn't need it.
Xia Feng and Bai Xiaowen both had their own paths. These foreign objects that had nothing to do with their paths were only of trading value to them. They couldn't use them to improve their strength.
After Qiao Rui thanked him, Qiao Liqun said, "Xiao Rui, you go and cultivate first. Xiao Feng, Xiao Bai, and I have some confidential matters to discuss."
Qiao Rui left obediently. Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng both looked at Qiao Liqun. They knew that he was going to get down to business.
"I don't know much about the Land of Origin. The God just gave me some general knowledge."
Qiao Liqun said slowly, "The first thing is that you have to deal with the territory's affairs in advance."
"Will this trip to the Land of Origin take a long time?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"The Land of Origin itself might not take too long, but the journey to and fro will take a lot of time …" Qiao Liqun said. "You should all know that long-distance spatial travel requires the use of a spatial passage. This itself will take a certain amount of time. "
Bai Xiaowen nodded to show that he understood. This was the truth. For example, from the White Phoenix territory to the dinosaur planet, it would take about half an hour to travel through the spatial passage. It wouldn't be an immediate arrival. In other words, spatial travel greatly reduced the time spent on the journey, but it didn't reduce it to zero.
"How long will it take?" Xia Feng asked.
Qiao Liqun said, "The God Master said that it will take three years, and it's a one-way trip."
"So far!" Bai Xiaowen said in surprise.
The distance between the White Phoenix territory and the dinosaur planet was unknown, but through the spatial passage, it would only take half an hour to travel this distance.
From here to the Land of Origin, it would take three years. How many dinosaur planets would it take?
Qiao Liqun smiled. "For humans, this kind of journey is indeed long. But for the entire universe, it's already very close … "
The Land of Origin was definitely not in the Solar System, or even the Milky Way.
Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath. "A one-way trip of three years, and a return trip of six years. In addition to the time spent exploring the Land of Origin itself, we might not even be able to return in seven or eight years … I wonder what changes will happen to the Star Alliance."
He was a little worried. The blood oath signed with the Great Yan territory only lasted for one year, and the White Phoenix territory and the Great Xia territory would usher in a vacuum of power for at least six years — this was the case for new territories. They were only supported by him and Xia Feng, two prominent figures. If both of them left, the territory's combat power would instantly drop.
Xia Feng frowned. "What should we do about the territory?"
Qiao Liqun smiled. "There are two paths for you to choose from."
"First, I will take the lead. The Blue Planet Overlords will sign a ten-year non-aggression agreement … Those who violate it will be punished by the contract." Qiao Liqun took out a huge stone slab from his storage device.
This stone slab was similar to the "Cauldron of Blood Oath". They were both props for signing blood oaths, but its grade was higher. It could accommodate more contractors, and the punishment for violating it was also higher.
Xia Feng looked at Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen frowned and asked, "In this way, will there be no conflicts between us Blue Planet evolvers in the Land of Origin?"
Xia Feng understood what Bai Xiaowen meant. The two of them were still thinking about finding Xia Jinshi of the Great Yan territory to settle the score in the Land of Origin.
Qiao Liqun nodded.
"I don't want to choose this." Xia Feng did not hesitate. "What's the second option?"
Qiao Liqun put away the stone slab and said, "The second option is slightly more complicated. My territory, the 'Sea Cliff Secret Realm', is currently located in a spirit realm. You can also integrate your territory into that realm, and the three territories can coexist. The strength of the Sea Cliff Secret Realm is still not bad. Even if some powerful territories of the Star Alliance invade, there is no need to fear. "
"Which spirit realm?" Bai Xiaowen asked. He thought to himself, 'No wonder I haven't heard of Qiao Liqun and the "Sea Cliff Territory" in the Star Alliance. It turns out that they were hidden so deeply.'
"Shao Ding Plane." Qiao Liqun smiled at Bai Xiaowen.
"Shao Ding!"
Bai Xiaowen's thoughts jumped, and he suddenly said, "I understand … Sea Cliff Gazing! The previous head of Shangqing school and the Great Elder are both with you? "
Qiao Liqun nodded and smiled. "That's right. I also cured the head of Shangqing school of his madness. He was the one who didn't want to leave. As for the Great Elder, he was also determined to persuade him to go back. "
"Then the rumors of the secret sect …"
"Yes, there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. My territory occasionally finds some good seedlings among the natives of Shao Ding Plane, so there are rumors of the secret sect. "
Qiao Liqun said meaningfully, "Little Lu Wang, you've played a lot of chess in Shao Ding Plane."
Bai Xiaowen was a little embarrassed. He shook his head and said, "I've made a fool of myself in front of Senior Qiao. If Senior Qiao doesn't mind, I'll immediately ask Vladimir to withdraw with his team. "
"No need. Anyway, the changes in Shao Ding Plane have nothing to do with my Sea Cliff Secret Realm …" Qiao Liqun said.
"Well, if Shao Ding Plane is unified, won't your territory be affected?"
Qiao Liqun shook his head. "Although the Sea Cliff Secret Realm is related to Shao Ding Plane, it is independent of the unification and reconstruction."
Bai Xiaowen understood. Qiao Liqun's Sea Cliff Secret Realm was like Guang Chengzi's cave in the Three Kingdoms Plane World. It was not affected by the reconstruction of reincarnation.
Bai Xiaowen was a little puzzled before. The rumors of the Sea Cliff Secret Realm, these big secrets of Shao Ding Plane, seemed to have nothing to do with the main battle of Shao Ding Plane and the main battle between the righteous and the devil.
Logically speaking, if he solved the main battle between the righteous and the devil, the secret sect should have made some movements. Otherwise, why would the secret sect be formed by the rules of the Spiritual Realm?
Now that he knew that the so-called secret sect was only Qiao Liqun's territory, Bai Xiaowen was not surprised.
Bai Xiaowen was also very relieved. The strength of the Sea Cliff Secret Realm was definitely enough to protect the White Phoenix Territory and the Great Xia Territory.
Thinking about it, even the previous headmaster of the Shangqing school, who was a king-level master, refused to leave. The Sea Cliff Secret Realm must be full of masters, and it was very tempting to cultivators.
He and Xia Feng looked at each other. Both of them chose the second path.
The matter of hiding the territory in Shao Ding Plane was left to Qiao Liqun to handle. As the lords, Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng only needed to agree.
Of course, in addition to the two territories, vassal territories such as the Bone Melting Territory and the White Stone Territory were also moved in at the same time.
Bai Xiaowen specially asked Cantecie and the Queen Bee.
Sure enough, as Bai Xiaowen guessed, Cantecie and the Queen Bee also got tickets to the Land of Origin. As the electors of two gods, they participated in the battle for the Land of Origin. At present, the Queen Bee was also worried about the safety of the territory in the next few years.
After Bai Xiaowen said that, the Queen Bee readily agreed and also asked Qiao Liqun to hide the territory in Shao Ding Plane.
