Standing in the middle of the sea of flowers, a gentle breeze blew past, making one feel calmer.
There were many small animals around the sea of flowers, all of them intimately close to Ye Qingrou. They were very harmonious with her. Jiang Xiaofan was already used to this. He looked into the distance. There was a small village in front of him. The village looked very ordinary. There were a dozen or so thatched cottages. They were all very ordinary and were no different from the ordinary thatched cottages in the mortal world.
"What a paradise."
Wei Ka opened his eyes wide.
Looking at it from a close distance, the scenery here was really good.
"Yiya!"
Huang Huang called out, confirming the fatty's words.
Jiang Xiaofan felt a bit emotional. He was reborn here, brought back to the village by Ye Qingrou, and now he finally came here.
"Let's go."
Ye Qingrou said.
She led the way and soon they appeared outside the village.
"Yo, kid."
In the village, the four old men were still sitting together, greeting Jiang Xiaofan.
"Greetings, seniors."
Jiang Xiaofan walked up and bowed seriously.
Looking at Ye Qingrou, he knew that these four old men who looked like ordinary people were definitely not simple, they were definitely peerless characters.
Behind him, Wei Ka suddenly shouted: "Dao Protector?!"
This fatty's master was the Dao Protector of this world, he was naturally familiar with the aura of these four old men.
"As expected."
Jiang Xiaofan thought.
In fact, before this, he had already guessed the identity of these four old men.
Old Man Ye pointed at Jiang Xiaofan and Wei Ka, saying: "Sit."
Jiang Xiaofan didn't stand on ceremony and sat down with Wei Ka.
Jiang Xiaofan had a lot of doubts in his heart, such as where exactly was this place, and his relationship with Ye Qingrou. He felt that Ye Qingrou's attitude towards him was a bit strange.
"I'll go prepare the meal."
Ye Qingrou said.
"Okay."
Old Man Ye smiled.
Ye Qingrou nodded at Jiang Xiaofan, smiled, and walked towards the thatched cottage not far away.
This scene caused Wei Ka's eyes to open wide.
"It can't be?"
Fatty was very surprised.
The legendary person that even the Deity Dao Union feared, the taboo existence of the three thousand great realms, was actually … preparing food?
Even though Jiang Xiaofan had seen Ye Qingrou cook and even worked with her before, at this moment, he had the same thought as Fatty and felt somewhat awkward.
"Brat, what do you think? Isn't it a heaven-defying blessing for whoever marries Little Ye?"
Old Man Lin chuckled.
Jiang Xiaofan nodded in agreement.
Then, another thought appeared in his mind. Who could be worthy of this woman?
As if seeing through his thoughts, Old Man Cang said, "Sheng Tian, don't think too much. You're not worse than her. Of course, it's normal to feel pressure."
Jiang Xiaofan was speechless. Why did these words sound so awkward?
However, his expression soon changed. Did these four old men know his former name?
"Senior, you … Okay, it's fine."
He originally wanted to ask why, but soon shook his head inwardly. These four old men were all protectors. As the strongest arbiters in this world, it was natural for them to know his name.
Seeing his reaction, the old men laughed at the same time.
"You must have many doubts in your heart. No need to ask, we'll explain them to you."
Old Man Lin said.
"Senior, please enlighten me."
Jiang Xiaofan said seriously.
Old Man Lin nodded and looked at the other three. "Which one of you will speak?"
"Up to you."
Old Man Cang said.
"I'll do it."
Old Man Bo put down his teacup.
The old man looked at Jiang Xiaofan, stroked his beard, and said, "Let's start from your true identity. How should I put it? You see some thatched cottages in this village, right? One of them is yours."
"What?"
Jiang Xiaofan was shocked.
His thatched cottage was here. Why?
"Don't rush, listen slowly." Old Man Bo signaled Jiang Xiaofan to keep calm and continued, "You, Qitian, Ming Tian, Hong Tian, Zhen Tian, Fan Tian, Qing Tian, Cang Tian, and Huang Tian all came from this small village. The Taoist embryo was also forged by the four of us. We erased your memories and sent you into it …"
"Impossible!"
Jiang Xiaofan was moved and interrupted Old Man Bo's words.
He did not have such memories. If Old Man Bo was telling the truth, then he had nothing to do with Qitian and the others. However, their blood was of the same quality and origin. This could not be false. If they were not born together with the Taoist embryo, how could they have the same blood?
In this way, Old Man Bo's words did not make sense at all.
As if knowing what Jiang Xiaofan was thinking, Old Man Bo continued, "In the past, in an ancient relic, you obtained ten seven-colored fruits and divided them among Qitian and the others. The seven-colored fruits were extraordinary. Not only did they improve your physique and blood, but they also gave you similar seven-colored blood."
"There was such a thing?"
Jiang Xiaofan frowned.
Old Man Bo looked at him and said helplessly, "Of course there is. As the guardian of this world, how could we lie to you? Or, do you think we would lie to you? "
"This …"
Jiang Xiaofan did not know what to say.
Indeed, Old Man Bo had no need to lie to him. Moreover, he believed that the other party would not lie to him. This kind of trust did not come from these old men, but from Ye Qingrou.
"Why?"
He asked.
Old Man Bo said, "Every ninety million years, the Three Thousand Great Worlds will hold a trial. Every world will send a representative to the Ancient Road of Heaven and Earth to compete. This will determine the new ranking of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, which is the so-called Upper, Middle, and Lower Heavens division …"
"For this reason, our world naturally had to choose a representative. The nine of you were one of the candidates at that time. In order to truly choose a person to go to the Ancient Road, our final decision was to let you all reincarnate together and undergo a new trial. This trial will not only compete in cultivation, but also in character."
Jiang Xiaofan frowned, "That's all?"
"You think it's a little unnecessary?" Old Man Bo opened his mouth and continued, "It's not as simple as you think. We are different from other worlds. In the past, us old men worked together to forge a Dao seal. That is our blood, sweat, and tears. The candidate of our world will be able to wield this Dao seal. "
"The Dao seal is …"
Jiang Xiaofan was surprised.
Old Man Bo nodded, "It's already in your body."
"Didn't you say …"
Jiang Xiaofan was puzzled.
"Choose a candidate?" Old Man Bo laughed, and said: "In these endless years, we old men have always seen the actions of the nine of you. You have enough qualifications to wield this seal. Otherwise, why do you think you didn't die last time when you used the Forbidden Reincarnation Technique? "
"We guided you into this world, and from that time, everything was already decided. Thus, at that time, we handed the Dao seal to you. Not long after, you will represent this world to compete on the Ancient Road of Heaven and Earth. "
Jiang Xiaofan was surprised, and so was Wei Ka who was not far away.
"Kid, you actually …"
He did not expect that Jiang Xiaofan was actually a reincarnation.
"But …"
Jiang Xiaofan was still a little shocked.
Old Man Lin continued, "When you were chosen to reincarnate, there were three conditions to determine who would be the holder of the Dao Seal. The first was character, the second was strength, and the third was who could kill the evil spirit."
"Evil spirit?"
Jiang Xiaofan was puzzled.
He already knew the first two, but what was the so-called evil spirit?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, "Could it be …"
Old Man Lin nodded, "Yes, it's the Dao realm cultivator who tempted Qitian and the others. It is the amalgamation of endless negative energy in this world, the source of evil. Killing it was one of the conditions for the nine of you to be reincarnated, but who would have thought that Qitian and the others would be defeated from the very beginning."
Qitian and the others were tempted by the evil spirit and walked on the path of evil, revealing their true character, which meant that they had lost the right to wield the Dao seal.
"Now you understand why we erased your memories, right?"
Old Man Lin smiled.
Jiang Xiaofan nodded. If they still had their memories, Qitian and the others would not have been tempted by the evil spirit, because the Dao seal was more valuable. But this way, there would be many obstacles to revealing one's true character. Thus, erasing one's memories was undoubtedly the best way to reveal one's true character.
"So that's how it is …"
Jiang Xiaofan fell silent.
"Now, do you understand?"
Old Man Lin said.
Jiang Xiaofan nodded, then asked, "Before we were reincarnated, what were our cultivations?"
"We only erased your memories, but we did not suppress your cultivation. The cultivation you had when you woke up from the embryos was the cultivation you had before you were reincarnated. Of course, in reality, that was not reincarnation. It was just a little trick that we used to make you wake up after sleeping. "
Old Man Lin said.
Jiang Xiaofan nodded. He believed that all of this was true. As the guardians of this world, Old Man Lin and the others had no reason to lie to him, nor would they lie to him.
He looked at the cottage not far away and asked, "Why didn't she …"
Ye Qingrou was so powerful, she should have been one of the candidates. Why didn't she go with them?
"Qingrou, that girl …" Old Man Lin glanced at the cottage and shook his head. He couldn't help but smile, "To be honest, back then, she was far weaker than you. When you left the village, she was only at the True One Heavenly Realm. In terms of cultivation, she was far weaker than the nine of you."
"What?"
Jiang Xiaofan was shocked.
Back then, Ye Qingrou was far weaker than them?
"This …"
He was a bit stunned.
He suddenly remembered what Ye Qingrou said to him not long ago. At that time, Ye Qingrou said, "In the past, you were much stronger than me." Now that he thought about it, so that was the case.
If that was the case, he felt a bit helpless.
For so many years, the nine of them had been stagnant, but Ye Qingrou had already surpassed the Dao Realm.
"I'm far weaker than her."
He muttered to himself.
Old Man Lin shook his head and said, "Don't belittle yourself. Your talent is not inferior to that girl's. You only delayed your cultivation because you destroyed your own origin to save Huang Tian and the others. Otherwise, Qingrou might not be stronger than you. Moreover, Qingrou was born with the blessing of the 3,000 Great Daos and had a heaven-defying fortuitous encounter. "
"Fortuitous encounter?"
Jiang Xiaofan was a bit puzzled.
If the four old men called it a fortuitous encounter, it was obviously not ordinary.
