The next day, Shen Qi continued his search for the fox.
This time the fox learned its lesson. It knew it could not escape Shen Qi's pursuit, so it simply stopped hiding and waited for Shen Qi to arrive within its territory.
After seeing Shen Qi, the fox did not show any sign of being on guard. Instead, it hooked its front paws at Shen Qi, as if wanting Shen Qi to go with it.
Of course Shen Qi could see that the fox's behavior meant that its attitude had softened. Whether he could subdue the fox depended on whether he could pass the fox's test.
With the fox in front and Shen Qi behind, the man and the beast entered the depths of Kunshan at an extremely fast speed. On the way, they passed through the territories of many powerful monsters. However, both Shen Qi and the fox were very fast and rushed out before these monsters could react, so there was no danger.
After traveling for an hour, Shen Qi conservatively estimated that he had walked seventy or eighty kilometers and finally arrived at the foot of a mountain.
The fox stopped at the foot of the mountain and refused to go up anymore, but kept waving its two front paws, meaning that Shen Qi should go up by himself.
It was also the first time that Shen Qi saw this mountain in the depths of Kunshan. He couldn't help but feel curious. Even if the fox didn't have this attitude, he would still go up and take a look.
However, before going up, Shen Qi also had to make some preparations, such as flipping his right hand, and a dark long sword appeared in his hand.
This long sword is Shen Qi's usual weapon. He didn't take it out before because the opponents he met were not worthy of his sword, not even the old man in his prime.
But now it’s different. There are still many dangers in the depths of Kunshan, and this mountain is so valued by the fox, which means that there must be more powerful existences on this mountain, so Shen Qi must also be cautious.
When Shen Qi held the long sword, his whole temperament changed. The fox next to him couldn't help but shiver, and was even more horrified in his heart: It turned out that he had been conserving his strength all this time?
Shen Qi jumped up and started climbing the mountain at an extremely fast speed.
It seemed that Shen Qi did not pay attention to the movements around him at all, but in fact, Shen Qi's spiritual sense had been completely spread out, and all the movements within a radius of 500 meters could not be hidden from Shen Qi's perception.
The mountain is towering, with an altitude of more than two thousand meters. Only Shen Qi, with his profound cultivation and strong combat power, can climb the mountain quickly. If someone else came here, it would be impossible.
The existence of the mountain was nothing to Shen Qi. In less than a minute, Shen Qi reached the top of the mountain and saw a wooden house. His face immediately became serious.
If a powerful monster appeared on this mountain, Shen Qi would not be surprised at all, but who would have thought that there was a wooden house here!
The presence of a wooden house means that there are people living here!
But Shen Qi did not sense any human breath, which forced him to be cautious.
As Shen Qi landed in front of the wooden house, the door suddenly opened, and an old man with white hair and beard walked out and stood opposite Shen Qi.
"You're finally here."
Shen Qi was still cautious and asked, "Do you know me?"
The old man nodded. "Of course I know. I've known you since the day you broke through the limits of humanity. And I also knew that sooner or later you would find this place."
Shen Qi frowned, "So, you have been waiting for me?"
"You could think so, but that's not entirely correct."
The old man's expression remained unchanged. "I'm waiting for anyone who might come here, not just you. Only those capable of coming here are qualified to explore the true nature of the world, and you are no exception. My mission here is to escort those who wish to see a wider world, to allow them to leave this planet where spiritual energy has been depleted."
When Shen Qi heard this, he couldn't help but take two steps back, because what the old man said was a little beyond his understanding.
He has lived for hundreds of years and has practiced for hundreds of years. During this period, he has traveled to almost every corner of the world and achieved achievements that others dare not even imagine. Before going into seclusion, he also wondered whether there was a wider world outside the Blue Star, but after many explorations without any discovery, he had to give up.
The reason why he chose to go into seclusion was that he was really helpless, because at that time he felt that it was meaningless and he had no other choice except to go into seclusion.
The same is true now. If he still cannot find a wider world, the rest of his life may only be spent on cultivation.
Perhaps one day in the future, his cultivation will be improved to a high enough level to allow him to explore a wider world, but it is definitely not now.
But from what this old man said, he not only knew about that wider world, but also had powerful enough means to allow Shen Qi to enter that wider world!
After a long while, Shen Qi asked, "Who are you?"
The old man said, "It doesn't matter who I am. I've been here for nine hundred and ninety-nine years. In less than a year, I'll be leaving. If you miss this opportunity, you'll have to wait another hundred years for my replacement to arrive. So you don't have much time to consider."
Shen Qi snorted coldly and pointed his dark sword at the old man.
"You've said so much, you have to show me what you can do."
The old man nodded, but showed no intention of taking action.
Shen Qi did not dare to delay. He condensed his spiritual energy into the sword and stabbed the old man fiercely.
This sword has already used 70% of its strength. It is so powerful that it can easily split the mountain in half. However, this terrifying power does not overflow at all. It is completely condensed within the sword. Only in this way can the strongest attack be unleashed.
