Naturally, Daoist Xuan Guang didn't look down on him previously. But now, looking at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him, Daoist Xuan Guang reevaluated this young man in front of him.
He didn't believe that someone who could have such an expert was an ordinary person.
Furthermore. Even though his cultivation had regressed, his Paragon Divine Sense was still present. Even though he couldn't see through the cultivation of the young man in front of him, he was similarly unclear about the cultivation of the black-robed man who appeared before him. But judging from the other party's aura, Daoist Xuan Guang could tell that he was a Paragon Divine Sense expert.
For such an expert to be able to protect this young man and call him young master, Daoist Xuan Guang could tell that this person wasn't simple.
At the same time, Daoist Xuan Guang started guessing the origin of this young man.
"Mn?"
At this moment, Ghost Li, who had just sat down, sensed that the people sitting across from him were looking at him and Linley in unison. He let out a cold snort, which contained the might of a Supreme God.
"Pu …" Daoist Xuan Guang coughed out a mouthful of blood. His face paled.
"You …" The middle-aged man who was with Daoist Xuan Guang at this moment thought of the previous snort when he saw Daoist Xuan Guang coughing out blood. Even though he didn't feel anything wrong, he was certain that the black-robed man was the culprit.
"Don't … don't, Long Tian!"
Seeing Long Tian stand up, Xuan Guang hurriedly tried to stop him. After guessing the strength of the other party, he didn't want his friend to court his own death.
"What are you doing? He even injured you. Even though I don't know what his cultivation is, my peak Middle Stage God Emperor cultivation should be enough to deal with him!"
Seeing Xuan Guang obstructing him, perhaps because of his vanity, or perhaps because of his face, he did not care about Xuan Guang's persuasion. At that moment, he released his Middle Stage God Emperor cultivation and charged towards the two of them.
"Hmph, an ant dares to touch my young master? You are truly seeking death."
Sensing Long Tian's power and pressure, Linley didn't move. He maintained his smile. Ghost Li, on the other hand, couldn't sit still any longer. His original mission was to protect Linley. Although he knew that this person wouldn't be able to harm his young master, he couldn't just ignore him.
Looking at Long Tian, Ghost Li instantly released his pressure. With the exception of Lin Ray, everyone present was enveloped by Ghost Li's divine sense.
"Today, my Young Master just wants to have a good meal. You guys are talking so much nonsense. From now on, if you have any more nonsense, then don't leave today. Let's do it here! "
Ghost Li's tone was gloomy, and his entire being was filled with the aura of a bully as he roared at everyone present.
For a moment, the originally noisy restaurant quieted down after hearing Ghost Li's words. There was no sound at all. Even if a needle fell to the ground, it could be heard clearly.
"Ugh …"
He watched Ghost Li work. For a moment, Lin Ray was stunned. Of course, he didn't stop Ghost Li.
"Senior … I … I have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. I beg for senior's forgiveness. This brother of mine was too worried about me, so … so he offended you."
At this moment, Xuan Guang, who was sitting opposite of Lin Ray, felt the pressure and immediately begged for forgiveness in a low voice.
"Haha, a former Hierarch expert is actually lowering his voice for a God Emperor. Tsk, how pitiful!"
"Boom!" Xuan Guang's mind went blank when he heard Lin Ray's words. His eyes were filled with fear.
He stared at Linley in disbelief. His voice trembling, he said, "You … you … how did you know who I was? Hm?"
"What? A Hierarch expert?"
At this moment, Long Tian heard Lin Ray's words and looked at his companion's expression. He immediately hesitated.
"Ugh …" Xuan Guang had a difficult expression when he heard Long Tian's words. "Long Tian, I … I'm sorry. I'm actually not Xuan Guang. Xuan Guang is just a fake name I used. My real name is Ling Yuan. I'm a peak late Hierarch expert. However, due to certain reasons, my cultivation regressed and I changed my name."
"Ling Yuan? What? You're Ling Yuan? The former Hierarch Ling Yuan of the Eastern Region? "
At this moment, Long Tian heard Xuan Tian's original name and nodded. However, when he regained his senses, he looked at his friend in shock. There was no other expression on his face other than shock.
"Ugh … haha, it's all in the past. Don't worry about it. I'm just a Divine Monarch expert now, an extremely ordinary one. I'm very likely to regress to the Divine Monarch realm in the future! "
Xuan Guang smiled bitterly when he saw his companion's expression and tone.
On the opposite side, Lin Ray's divine sense had been probing Xuan Guang. When Xuan Guang revealed his identity, there was bitterness in his eyes. However, apart from that, there was also hatred. Although he hid it well, he couldn't hide it from Lin Ray.
"Haha, there must be something fishy about this. To be able to destroy a Hierarch to such a state, he must be an expert. "
Thinking of this, Lin Ray didn't say anything. He just listened to the two's conversation. Perhaps, he could obtain some useful information from this.
"Really? You're really Hierarch Ling Yuan. That's great. I can even be friends with you!" At this moment, Long Tian was excited when he heard Xuan Guang's confirmation. He couldn't help but shout.
"Sigh, it's just a false reputation. There's no need to be so excited. Moreover, I'm Xuan Guang now. As for Ling Yuan … Ling Yuan would've died a hundred and fifty thousand years ago!"
"Eh …" Long Tian's smile disappeared the moment he heard Xuan Guang's words.
He asked in disbelief, "Why? Who in the Divine World doesn't know the name Hierarch Ling Yuan? Even children know about it. Why … Why would you be reduced to such a state? Moreover, your cultivation level was already at the peak of the late Hierarch realm a few hundred thousand years ago.
Why … "Long Tian asked one question after another. At this moment, Xuan Guang only had a painful expression on his face.
"That's right. I also want to know who could make a Hierarch like this."
At this moment, Lin Ray asked curiously. He really wanted to know who was able to control their strength so well and only injure Xuan Guang's spiritual root. The other parts of Xuan Guang's body were not damaged at all.
Although he knew that there were people who could extract other people's spiritual roots for their own use, he had never heard of anyone who could perfectly destroy a spiritual root.
"Sigh!"
Xuan Guang said helplessly when he heard Lin Ray's words. His eyes were filled with pain.
"Back when I was still a Hierarch, I found a scroll that could allow me to break through from the Divine Realm to the Saint Realm. I was very happy at that time, but who would've thought … When I opened the scroll and saw the contents, I was scared. The contents of the scroll made my heart tremble. "
Xuan Guang's eyes were filled with fear. His body couldn't stop trembling at this moment. One could see how terrifying the scroll was. Even after so many years, a peak Ultimate God cultivator was still so terrified.
"What is that? Why are you like this …" Long Tian asked doubtfully as he looked at his friend's dazzling appearance.
"It's a technique. It's a technique that can allow people to break through to the Saint Realm. It's something that shouldn't exist."
Xuan Guang paused for a moment before continuing, "Everyone should know that the reason why we can cultivate is because we're born with a spiritual root. That's the only way we can cultivate. However, that's not a cultivation technique … That's not a cultivation technique. It's a technique that specifically talks about how to devour spiritual roots for your own use. Most importantly, it says that breaking through to the Saint Realm requires a top-grade spiritual root."
"What? There's such a technique?"
At this moment, Long Tian was shocked. Everyone could imagine this cultivation method. One million supreme-grade Spirit Roots, this concept …
"Yes, that's right. That's why I'm afraid. It's not only about spiritual roots, it's also about devouring spiritual roots. That's why I stopped cultivating when I saw it. In the end, I brought it back to the clan and sealed it on the top floor of the library. That's where only the patriarchs of the clan can enter."
"I thought that nobody would know about it, but good things didn't last long. Five years after I came back from the Divine Realm, the news about the technique spread to the ears of all the Hierarchs in the Divine Realm. A group of Hierarchs threatened me. I was helpless against so many Hierarchs. In the end, I decided to take out the scroll. Who would've thought that when I went to take it out, my wife … She … She … She was holding the scroll."
When Lin Ray heard that, he understood. However, Long Tian was still listening with great interest.
Xuan Guang glanced at Linley, then continued, "At that time, I was very puzzled. I wanted to force her to hand over the scroll, but who would have thought that my wife, who had been with me for tens of thousands of years, was also a Hierarch? I had no idea at all. Because of that, for some reason, I was struck by her palm, but I was still able to retrieve the scroll and hand it over to the Hierarch. Just like that, they left. At that time, of course, I didn't know. After that, my cultivation base began to drop. Although the drop was slow, I still discovered it."
"Unfortunately, a rebellion broke out in the clan at that time. In order to stop it, not only did I use the Forbidden Book, I also willingly dropped my cultivation to stop it. But who would have thought that all of this was actually a conspiracy between me and my cousin in the clan? In the end, because my cultivation dropped too much, I was no match for them and fled!"
