"Senior Gu, this junior has something to ask."
Under the moonlight, Shen Jia gently knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Gu Tieyi's deep and calm voice came from the quiet room.
Shen Jia pushed the door open and entered.
The lights in the quiet room were dim.
A candle, a table, a pot of tea, and two teacups.
Gu Tieyi was dressed in a loose black robe. His expression was calm, as if he had long known that Shen Jia had returned. He pointed at the praying mat opposite the table and said, "Sit."
Shen Jia sat down and poured tea for the elder. Then, he respectfully and humbly asked, "Senior Gu, this junior really couldn't understand today's battle, so I came to ask for guidance."
Gu Tieyi smiled faintly and said, "What do I not understand?"
Shen Jia said, "Li Mu broke through at the last moment, advancing from mid-stage Heavenly Venerate to quasi-Emperor. Perhaps this could be explained by his will and spirit. However, at the final moment, he clearly could not retaliate at all. Why did he suddenly turn the situation around? In an instant, it was like he became a completely different person. Could it be that cheating is possible in the Holy War?"
Shen Jia was a straightforward person. He did not know how to beat around the bush. In one breath, he poured out all his doubts.
"In the arena of the Holy War.
Who could cheat? "Gu Tieyi smiled at Shen Jia.
Shen Jia choked slightly and said, "But …"
Gu Tieyi said, "I'm not asking you a rhetorical question. I'm asking you seriously. Think about it."
Shen Jia's heart suddenly shook.
He lowered his head and pondered. Gradually, an unprecedented look of shock appeared on his face.
Because he recalled what Li Mu had said in the arena.
"Could it be …" Shen Jia pointed his index finger at the sky.
Gu Tieyi did not give a direct answer, but said, "Liu Dongshan's strength is comparable to mine, and according to my understanding, the possibility of him hiding his strength before the battle is extremely small. As for the first successor of the Holy Land of the Human Race, Daozi, his strength is so strong that even among the Quasi-emperor existences of the entire Chaotic World, he can enter the top three. For Liu Dongshan to actually defeat Daozi, this matter itself cannot be explained with common sense."
Shen Jia said, "But … can Deity Liu control the Samsara Immortal Sphere?"
Gu Tieyi replied, "Of course not."
Shen Jia was stunned, and his expression became even more puzzled.
Gu Tieyi said, "But the Reincarnation Celestial Sphere can help Emperor Liu."
Shen Jia was even more puzzled, and he said, "There are so many people out there, why are they helping him?"
Gu Tieyi shook his head, "I don't know about that."
Some of the doubts in Shen Jia's heart were resolved.
However, there were other doubts that grew even stronger, causing him to feel as if he had fallen into a dense fog.
Gu Tieyi said, "In this Sacred War, the Reincarnation Celestial Sphere is extremely unfriendly to the human race. The Mad Sword, the Dao Child, and the successors of the various sacred grounds of the human race have already been eliminated by now. This is something that has never happened before. The human race is a large race in the Chaotic World, and their strength is not weak. Why did they end up like this?"
Shen Jia said, "The human race is evil because of the Reincarnation Immortal Sphere?"
Gu Tieyi nodded.
"Then why?" Shen Jia said, "Could it be because Li Mu provoked the Reincarnation Celestial Ball time and again, angering it and dragging the Human Race down?"
Gu Tieyi said, "It is possible, but perhaps it is only one of the reasons."
Shen Jia asked, "Is there another reason?"
Gu Tieyi shook his head. "Maybe, but we can't guess."
Shen Jia fell into deep thought.
The crisis of the human race was actually a good thing for the god race.
In fact, if it were not for the fact that Li Mu was too powerful, the god race would have gained the upper hand at this time, and the decline of the human race would have been exposed.
"Senior Gu, how is your injury recovering?" Shen Jia asked again.
Apart from Li Zhiyuan, his master, Gu Tieyi was now the person Shen Jia admired and cared about the most.
An extremely confident smile suddenly appeared on Gu Tieyi's face.
"Hahaha, the battle with Li Mu is an unprecedented opportunity for me. That day, he did not fully grasp the power of the Reincarnation of Time. On that day, I aged on the arena because of the flow of time and was defeated. But when I got off the arena, I recovered much faster than I expected. Although my cultivation is now less than one-tenth of what I used to be after I married you, I have gained back what I lost. It has swept away my confusion, and the road to becoming an emperor is slowly unfolding in front of me."
Once enlightened, Gu Tieyi's state of mind went straight to the Emperor Realm.
His entire aura and aura had unknowingly changed. It was profound, bottomless, and unfathomable, as natural as the great abyss of the ancient stars.
Hearing this, Shen Jia was sincerely happy. "Congratulations, Senior Gu."
Gu Tieyi nodded.
"I was just about to tell you that tomorrow morning, I will leave the Land of Immortal Ascension and return to the Wind Division to cultivate. Be careful on the arena of the sacred war. This sacred war is a bit strange. If you can't win, don't try to be brave. Just admit defeat.
You are still young. Don't fall into the fallacy of being competitive for the sake of fame. "
He added.
Shen Jia got up and bowed respectfully.
The god race Quasi-emperor in front of him could be said to be sincere and caring for him.
If not for his master, Li Zhiyuan, Shen Jia would have long knelt down and saluted as a disciple.
…
…
"Are we familiar?"
Li Mu was a little surprised to hear the old man's words.
He had never seen this person before.
The old man was angry and amused at the same time. He said, "You stinking brat, you've provoked me time and time again. You don't put me in your eyes at all. You think of me as an unforgivable villain. Why are you acting like you don't know me when you really see me?"
A bolt of lightning flashed in Li Mu's mind. He exclaimed, "You are … the device spirit of the Reincarnation Celestial Ball?"
The old man nodded with a smile and said, "You can say that. I knew a little bastard like you who doesn't follow the rules would sneak in here. That's why I waited for you on the Heavenly River while fishing. Sure enough, I found you."
"It is indeed the device spirit."
"How dare it block me here?"
"Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road."
Li Mu subconsciously glanced around to see if there was an ambush. At the same time, he quietly stepped back to avoid the danger.
Things seemed to be different from what he had imagined.
"What? Brat, are you scared now? "
The old man looked at Li Mu mischievously.
Li Mu saw no hostility or killing intent on the old man's face. Even with the sharp intuition of the Xiantian Skill, he could not sense any dangerous aura from the old man.
"Well, come here and sit down."
The old man sat down on the boat and pointed to the deck.
Li Mu thought for a moment and did not refuse. He walked on the water and sat down.
"Since you are the device spirit of the Reincarnation Fairy Weapon, why did you secretly help Liu Dongshan and break the rules of the Holy War?"
The straightforward Devil Li went straight to the point.
But the old man did not answer Li Mu's question directly. Instead, he asked, "Do you know the origin of the Reincarnation Celestial Ball?"
Li Mu said, "I heard that it is a divine artifact made of divine materials from the immortal world by the current martial arts emperor. Its purpose is to decide the disputes between the major races in the way of the Holy War Arena, so as to reduce the military wars between the major races as much as possible, so that the people would not be plunged into misery and suffering."
The old man nodded with a smile. "Yes, but not completely."
"Oh?" Li Mu said, "Please enlighten me, Elder Immortal."
The old man nodded slowly and was not in a hurry to answer.
He set up a small stove at the bow of the boat, put a small pot on it, and sprinkled all kinds of strange condiments in it. Then, he took out another set of fishing gear, put on the bait, and started fishing again.
He seemed to be very fond of fishing and enjoyed it.
"That was a long, long time ago. I don't know what happened in the high and mighty immortal world, so that the barrier of the immortal world was broken, and a strange object fell from the sky like a fiery meteor and smashed into the Chaotic World, causing the people within a radius of tens of thousands of miles to be plunged into misery and suffering. For a time, this place became a forbidden land. Later, the experts of the major races joined forces to investigate. After a certain amount of sacrifice, they found a broken fairy artifact from the immortal world. That was the origin of the Land of Ascension and the Reincarnation Celestial Ball."
The old man spoke in a pleasant manner.
Li Mu sat quietly and listened.
This statement was more detailed than Taoist Green Bull's description.
The old man continued, "The major races once worked together to study the fairy artifact and got some information, which was not good news. The immortal world was in chaos, so that the inferior world was also in danger. Some immortals fell into the devil and could not distinguish right from wrong. They were called Fallen Immortals. They started a war in the immortal world and also wanted to invade the inferior world. The Chaotic World and other major galaxies were all in danger of being destroyed."
"Fallen Immortals?"
Li Mu was a little shocked.
This was the first time he had heard this statement.
Fallen immortals?
It turned out that the immortal world really existed.
If the immortals who descended from the immortal world really wanted to invade the inferior world, perhaps the Chaotic World, the Ziwei Star Zone, Earth, and so on could only lie down and let them do whatever they wanted.
In front of immortals, even the Great Martial Arts Emperors had no advantage.
"The discovery in the Land of Immortal Ascension worried some of the Great Martial Arts Emperors with outstanding foresight and a compassionate heart, so they gathered the power of the nine strongest Great Martial Arts Emperors at that time to refine and forge the broken fairy artifact. They built it into the Reincarnation Fairy Ball and used it to preside over the holy war of the hundred races. They replaced the military war and the clan war with the arena battle to reduce sacrifices and bloodshed, preserve the power of the Chaotic World, and preserve the strength of the Chaotic World for the coming disaster one day."
As the old man spoke, the fishing rod in his hand suddenly shook.
A palm-sized silver fish was thrown out of the water and fell directly into the small pot.
Soon, a wisp of strange fragrance rose from the pot.
"In addition, the Reincarnation Fairy Ball has another ability and function, which few people in the outside world know." The old man continued to fish. He looked at Li Mu, stroked his beard, and smiled.
Li Mu said, "Elder Immortal, please tell me."
The old man did not beat around the bush and said, "After witnessing countless Holy Wars and countless arena battles, the Reincarnation Celestial Sphere has collected countless cultivation techniques and battle skills of geniuses, heroes, and saints. It has collided and fused them time and time again. Back then, the nine great Martial Emperors hoped to use the Reincarnation Celestial Sphere's power to gather the power of all living beings in the Chaotic World and create an unparalleled cultivation technique, a cultivation technique that could resist Immortals."
