"Is — Is it Grandpa Yao?"
Han Te and Coloured Glaze were both excited. Their faces were so red that there was no telling if they had been dyed red by the furiously burning sky. Looking at each other, they finally summoned their courage and raised the question that had been bothering them for a long time. "Master A Boxing Champion, what do you think about the fall of Manjusaka? Does the legendary Cultivator who has been lost for a thousand years really exist, and he is … Grandpa Yao?"
After hearing that, everybody focused their eyes on A Boxing Champion.
"The Cultivator who has been lost for a thousand years is not a lie made up by the Immortal Cultivators?"
Zuo Jingyun mumbled to herself. Then, she clenched her fists and asked with glowing eyes, "Does he … really exist?"
"I cannot come to a conclusive conclusion as to whether or not the Cultivator who has been lost for a thousand years exists."
A Boxing Champion jabbed a crystal processor on his left shoulder that was abnormally protruding due to random connections with a cold finger and said casually, "However, the temple of the Cultivators, or the control center of the global sword network, does exist, except that it completely collapsed a long time ago and eventually fell into the hands of the Immortal Cultivators, who made use of and modified it. That is an indisputable fact. The mainframe crystal processor of the global sword network is the proof.
"Therefore, I think that the groundless, mottled legends that have been circulating in the Land of Sins for hundreds of years may be lies made up by the Immortal Cultivators, but some of them may be true. Some unparalleled existences that are beyond the expectations of us and the Immortal Cultivators are still active in the dark land and the stars that are even darker!"
"It's Grandpa Yao. It must be Grandpa Yao!"
Covering her mouth, Liu Li was so excited that she was almost crying. "Grandpa Yao is the Cultivator who has been lost for a thousand years. It was he who blew down 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' and saved us by the way!"
"Yes. In that case, everything makes sense now!"
Han Te said confidently, "Grandpa Yao's mysterious background, unparalleled strength, and omnipotent methods are all there is to it! He was the Cultivator who had been lost for a thousand years. He snuck into the Land of Sins before the Immortal Cultivators carried out their great scheme, collecting intelligence in secret, and planning strategies. In the end, he completely sabotaged the Immortal Cultivators' plan by cutting their throats and saving everybody!
"Wait a minute …"
Zuo Jingyun and the resistance warriors of Starlight looked at each other in bewilderment. To this moment, they were still rather confused. "Who is this' Grandpa Yao 'that you mentioned?"
"That's an expert that far surpasses me."
A Boxing Champion said lightly. His words made Zuo Jingyun and the others gasp.
"Grandpa Yao was an expert who was active hundreds of years ago. He seemed to have experienced the 'Judgment War'. Even the full-scale assault of the Immortal Cultivators failed to annihilate him!"
Han Te declared proudly.
"Grandpa Yao is very awesome. I believe that he is the guy who blew up 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky'. He is also the expert who went on a killing spree on the light beam just now and made the Immortal Cultivators cry for their parents!"
Coloured Glaze held back her excitement.
Zuo Jingyun and the resistance warriors of Starlight all swallowed hard.
To this moment, or perhaps every day for the rest of their lives, they would never forget the bloody, cruel, and blatant scene they saw on the enormous light beam in the underground temple.
The mysterious crystal suit that looked like a black god of death was unleashing sharpness that was as intense as blood, reaping the seemingly strong Immortal Cultivators and the high and mighty "angels" as if they were chickens and dogs!
Was that the mysterious "Grandpa Yao"?
He was truly strong and worthy of the title of 'Cultivator who had been lost for a thousand years'!
"He is moving toward us at a high speed."
A Boxing Champion pressed his crystal processor softly and received the signals that Li Yao was sending over nonstop. "Fifteen hundred kilometers. A thousand kilometers. Five hundred kilometers. He's here!"
Everybody felt that their heart was heavy.
Before Li Yao arrived, many warriors of Starlight, including Zuo Jingyun, already had the urge to worship him.
A distance of several hundred kilometers was nothing more than a yawn for a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator.
Had it not been for the fact that they had to cover their traces with tremendous spiritual energy in fear of being discovered by Li Lingfeng and fly at a low altitude close to the ground, Li Yao could've swallowed a thousand kilometers in three seconds.
"He's here!"
A Boxing Champion's voice had subtle fluctuations, which were rarely seen.
"Should we stop the car?"
Zuo Jingyun asked nervously. The other resistance warriors could not have been more anxious, too, not knowing what kind of ferocious man would show up in front of them in a moment.
They had thought that the arrival of the "Grandpa Yao" would certainly be intimidating, intimidating, and full of sparks and lightning. At the very least, there would be sonic booms caused by supersonic flight.
But out of their expectations —
"Huh?"
Nobody sensed any anomaly at all. The cabin door of the earthly dragon was not opened, either. But in the narrow space that was as crammed as a can of sardines in the first place, another person had been stuffed into it weirdly.
It was as if he had directly ripped apart the ripples of space and emerged from the void.
What kind of mysterious ability was this? What kind of terrifying realm was this?!
"Excuse me, everyone. Let's squeeze together!"
The man said very politely. "Excuse me, can you slightly retract your elbow? It's touching my crotch."
Everybody struggled to turn their heads and stared at the mysterious man in bewilderment.
The weirdo who had mysteriously appeared …
His clothes were ragged, and there were wounds all over his body. His face was blue and purple, and his eyes were so swollen that they could barely be seen. It was truly a deformed and appalling sight!
A Boxing Champion: "…"
Zuo Jingyun: "…"
Xiahou Wuxin and Xin Xiaoqi: "…"
Han Te and the Coloured Glaze were dazed for a long time. Stammering, they asked at the same time, "G-Grandpa Yao, is that you?"
"Yes."
Li Yao grinned. He looked even more embarrassed because of his swollen bruises, but delight beamed out of his narrowed eyes. "I promised you that I would be back! Don't, Sister Zuo. Don't stop the car yet. A lot of Immortal Cultivators may be patrolling in the sky right now. It's safer to hide inside the car. It's better not to get out until they disperse. "
"It's really Grandpa Yao!"
Han Te wept in joy. Observing Li Yao carefully for a long time, he tilted his head and thought for a while. Then he said carefully, "I understand it now. This is a very advanced technique of 'reincarnation', isn't it? Grandpa Yao has found a body of flesh and blood that is rather fresh. You have finally gotten rid of the shackles of metals and machines and reappeared in the human world!
"However —
"If it is reincarnation, why didn't you choose a better body, Grandpa Yao? This body … really looks like a pig's head!"
"Does it matter?"
Coloured Glaze argued, frowning. "With the formidability of Grandpa Yao's soul, it is only natural that you choose a body that is relatively strong if you want to reincarnate. It will be fine as long as the body is sturdy enough. As for the ugly body, so what? Grandpa Yao won't care about that at all!"
"… Excuse me," Li Yao said, "this is not reincarnation. This is the body that I brought out of my mother's womb. It's my real appearance."
Han Te and Coloured Glaze both exclaimed, "Huh?"
"You —"
Zuo Jingyun interrupted the two little fellows' chatter and couldn't help but ask on behalf of all the resistance warriors who were about to explode with curiosity, "Senior, are you the legendary 'Cultivator who has been lost for a thousand years'? Was it you who took down Manjusaka, the City in the Sky, the massacre in the stream just now, and the battle in the sky with a Colossus later?"
Li Yao thought for a moment and admitted frankly, "The fall of Manjusaka indeed had a lot to do with me. The person who appeared in the stream was me, too. Later, I competed with Li Lingfeng with a Colossus. However, the 'Cultivator who has been lost for a thousand years' has nothing to do with me. Legends. Maybe they are just legends!"
"What?"
The answer was truly out of everyone's expectations. Zuo Jingyun couldn't help but ask, "Then, if I may ask, who are you exactly, senior? Are you … a Cultivator, too?"
"Exactly."
Li Yao smiled gently and said firmly, one word after another, "I am a Cultivator, and I always will be."
Zuo Jingyun, Han Te, Coloured Glaze, and all the resistance warriors could sense the strength contained in Li Yao's words, which made their blood boil.
"Thank you for saving our lives, senior. We — we really don't know what we should say!"
Zuo Jingyun was dazed for a long time before she said, "So to speak, senior, you are from the space branch of Starlight and a hero who has been persisting in the competition against the Imperium of True Human Beings in the sea of stars?"
Li Yao pondered for a moment. It was not the best time to reveal the great secret of the existence of the Xing Yao Federation yet. He shook his head and said, "I have nothing to do with Starlight. I can only say that the universe is much vaster than you imagine. Where there is darkness, there is light. In the depths of the boundless universe, there are countless resistance forces just like Starlight. Some of them are even a hundred times more powerful than Starlight in comprehensive capability and can even compete with the Imperium of True Human Beings as equals. I am from such a resistance force!"
"What!"
This time, Zuo Jingyun and the resistance warriors were truly shocked.
The universe was boundless, and there were countless resistance forces just like Starlight?
They were not alone. They were not fighting on their own. There were also countless people who were struggling to survive in the darkness but had nowhere else to go. They could not hold it any longer and had risen to resist!
"Is it true?"
Zuo Jingyun's voice was hoarse, shivering, and confused.
"Of course it's true. The universe is so vast. Everything is possible. So, no matter how desperate you are, do not give up hope!"
