Chapter 155: After Combined Dao
Following a startled cry, this wisp of Yuan's Divine Soul actually began to dissipate directly.
It seemed to have triggered a defense mechanism left behind a long time ago.
Xu Xing raised his hand and pointed out a streak of spiritual light. The dissipating trend immediately stopped, and it even began to repair itself, becoming even more solid than before in the blink of an eye.
Yuan: “……”
Damn!
This True Immortal in the Tai Xuan Realm is just ridiculously outrageous!
“Yuan, although we haven't interacted much, I did help you get rid of Huo's entanglement. What is the meaning of your reaction?” Yuan Jun asked.
If Dao Brother sees your reaction, he might think I bullied you two little ones before.
“Senior Yuan Jun, please forgive me!” Yuan could only explain with a bitter smile, “I just didn't expect Senior Yuan Jun to be here as well.”
His heart was in utter chaos at this moment.
The thought of bragging with his Old friend was completely gone.
Various guesses flashed through his mind.
Could it be... that the mechanism I left behind has been cracked?
If it's Senior Yuan Jun, it doesn't seem impossible!
As he spoke, he looked at Xu Xing.
“May I ask who this is...”
If it weren't for this situation, he would definitely have thought this was his Old friend, but now he wasn't so sure.
“Xu Xing.” Xu Xing explained, “If nothing unexpected happens, we two should be considered Old friend.”
Yuan's soul body couldn't help but be stunned.
No, you really are an Old friend!
Then Senior Yuan Jun is here, could she also...
“Dao Friend Yuan Jun is not.”
Xu Xing's words made him fall silent again.
“……”
No, Brother!
When we two transmigrators meet, is it a bit strange to have a local, and a True Immortal existence sitting next to us?
“The east wind released a thousand flower trees at night.” Yuan suddenly said.
“And blew down, stars like rain.” Xu Xing replied casually, and then couldn't help but complain, “I say, you weren't studying Chinese language, were you?”
“No, I just like to read miscellaneous books usually.”
Emm...
Xu Xing's complaint made Yuan a little more certain that the person in front of him was his Old friend.
“So, you are the Sword Ancestor of the Sword Sect?”
“Yes.”
Yuan fell into contemplation again.
Indeed, his deduction was correct. The Sword Ancestor of the Sword Sect was his Old friend.
“Then Little Sister will not disturb Dao Brother.” Yuan Jun got up.
Her curiosity was satisfied. If she continued to stay here, she might delay Dao Brother's matters.
“Take care.”
“Mm.”
Nodding gently, Yuan Jun immediately disappeared.
A few ordinary words, falling into Yuan's ears, were like thunder rumbling.
Little... Sister?
Senior Yuan Jun actually used this self-address, and even called his Old friend 'Dao Brother'?!
Is this still the Senior Yuan Jun whom he found it difficult to meet even once back then?
He was completely stunned, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses.
Holy crap!
I must be dreaming today!
When Xu Xing turned back, he said somewhat numbly, “I just realized you seem to be a bit more awesome than I imagined.”
“Emm... probably.”
“You're really not being humble...”
However, thinking of Senior Yuan Jun's performance just now, his Old friend didn't seem to be wrong.
“Tell me, what was the purpose of you leaving this wisp of Divine Soul?” Xu Xing asked.
Yuan's main body was no longer in the Tai Xuan Realm. This was just a wisp of his split soul that he had cut off.
“The purpose...” Yuan sighed.
“Actually, it's quite simple. It was just to meet you, this Old friend, to tell you the method of going home that I researched, or if another Old friend transmigrated later, I could leave something for him.”
“And incidentally, ask you some things to satisfy my curiosity.”
“I know most things about the Tai Xuan Realm, but when it comes to Immortals, the Cang Clan, and the ancient era, the records I can find are very few.”
Regarding ancient history, the more he explored, the more curious he became.
“Aren't you on good terms with the founders of many Sects? Didn't you inquire from them?”
Like Gu Mo, he knew about him.
“I don't actually know many Sect Ancestors well. Among them, only Senior Zhang of the Drunken Immortal Gate and Senior Gu of the Great Desert Saber Gate would sit down and talk about such things with me.” Yuan was a little helpless.
As for other Sect forces, most of those he was familiar with were at the level of Sect Leader and Supreme Elder, and they didn't know much.
“Senior Gu, I hadn't been acquainted with him for long before he went into seclusion.”
“That old Senior from the Drunken Immortal Gate is quite leisurely. I originally planned to drink and chat with him, but after one sip of wine, I passed out. After that, until I left, I never saw him again.”
As for the latter half of his stay in the Tai Xuan Realm, he spent most of his time researching how to break through the void and return, and he didn't have the energy to pursue ancient matters anymore.
So, before leaving, he left behind this wisp of Divine Soul.
“Your main body won't get the answer.”
“It doesn't matter, just satisfying my curiosity is enough.”
“Alright.” Xu Xing nodded in agreement, “Then ask away. I also happen to have a few questions I want to ask you.”
“……” Yuan pondered for a while.
He seemed to be thinking about which question he should ask first.
After a moment, he slowly spoke: “What's the current cultivation system?”
This was his first question.
“Qi Training, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul... The cultivation system of the Human Clan in the Tai Xuan Realm wasn't created by you, was it?”
To say there was no connection, he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death!
“Not entirely. We just perfected the cultivation system on the path of our predecessors, but the pioneers were not us.”
“At the very least, the naming was done by you, right!”
“Mm.” Xu Xing did not deny it, “That was indeed a suggestion I made.”
“Celestial Transformation Stage, Returning Void, Combined Dao, Passage to Profound Realm, Cave True...” Reading up to this point, Yuan paused, “Why is it not Tribulation Transcendence and Great Ascension after Combined Dao?”
“Tribulation Transcendence? There are no calamities after Combined Dao, so how can there be Tribulation Transcendence?” Xu Xing shook his head slightly, “Moreover, these last three Realms, in the ancient era, were all descriptions of 'Near Ancestors' by the Cang Clan.”
“Near Ancestors?”
“The Ancestors of Cang Race, equivalent to Immortals. You should have greeted one of them as well.”
These three Realms were also called the Three Near Ancestor Realms by the Cang Clan.
And if it were the Human Clan, that would be the Three Near Immortal Realms.
“Are you talking about that idiotic ancient ancestor who kept chanting 'Heaven gives birth to all things to nourish humans'?” Yuan seemed to recall some unpleasant matters.
He was entangled by Gu when he was in the Returning Void Realm, and it was thanks to meeting Huo that he drove that Gu away.
But it was only after that that he was entangled by Huo.
“Yes, that idiot.” Xu Xing smiled, “That idiot controls the past, so he's constantly causing trouble in the Central Continent, but I chopped him with a sword not long ago, so he shouldn't be feeling very well.”
“Awesome.” Yuan used a modern way of praising someone.
“If I had known you were so awesome earlier, I would have just run to the Sword Sect and joined you.”
Alas~
Comparing oneself to others can be infuriating. He was first entangled by that idiotic ancient ancestor, and then by Huo.
His Old friend, on the other hand, was so awesome that even Senior Yuan Jun called him Dao Brother...
