"Hahahaha, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Tang, do you think I'm too old?"
Chief Guining noticed the two people's surprise and burst into laughter.
Zhang Yuan didn't deny it. He nodded and honestly explained what he was thinking. "Chief Guining, to be honest, we really think you're a little too old. You're the legendary god-man. Even after 150,000 years, you're still so strong and healthy."
Chief Guining stroked his silver beard with satisfaction, "Yes, indeed."
Tang Feng asked at the right moment: "Chief Guining, excuse me, may I ask a question?"
The Guining clan leader nodded at him and motioned him to ask.
Tang Feng expressed his doubts: "Chief Guining, I just felt your cultivation level, and it doesn't seem to be very high. So... why have you lived so long?"
Whether in the world of immortal cultivation or the abyss, age is linked to cultivation level.
The higher the level of cultivation, the longer one can live.
Similarly, the lower the cultivation level, the shorter the lifespan.
Tang Feng just sensed the cultivation level of the Gui Ning clan leader, and to be honest, it was not even half as high as his.
It was easy for him to torture him.
But even someone with Tang Feng's level of cultivation doesn't have a lifespan of 150,000 years.
Why does this sea ghost in front of me have such a long lifespan?
Even racial explanations don't make sense.
The longest-lived creatures on the Xuanling Continent are the giant turtles in the sea. They can easily live for tens of thousands of years.
However, if one wants to live for 150,000 years, it is still a bit difficult with the cultivation level of Patriarch Guining.
So Tang Feng really didn’t understand.
The question he asked was indeed quite presumptuous, but Chief Guining did not feel offended.
Maybe at his age, nothing matters anymore.
The Guining clan leader always had a kind smile on his face.
At this point, he sighed and explained, "Xiao Tang, I know what you're thinking. Are you comparing our Sea Ghost Clan with the Sea Turtle Clan on the mainland today?"
Tang Feng raised his eyebrows and nodded in agreement with the words of the Guining clan leader.
Chief Guining chuckled and shook his head: "In fact, in a fundamental sense, our Sea Ghost Clan and Sea Turtle Clan are of the same bloodline millions of years ago."
"It's just that the ancestor of our Sea Ghost Clan was an outlier among the Sea Turtle Clan. All Sea Turtles have water-based abilities, but our ancestor was born with dark-based abilities. He was considered an outlier among the clan and was ostracized by the entire clan. As a result, our ancestor left the Sea Turtle Clan and has been wandering around various places on the Lingyuan Continent ever since."
Having said this, the Guining clan leader paused briefly, looked at the two people opposite him and asked softly, "Do you know Lingyuan Continent?"
Zhang Yuan and Tang Feng nodded at the same time. Zhang Yuan said, "Yes, I know. The leader of the Yan tribe has already told us about this."
The Guining tribe leader raised his eyebrows slightly and shook his head with a smile: "I had forgotten about those guys from the Yu tribe. I didn't expect you had already met them."
Then he returned to the previous question.
"After millions of years of mutation, we, the Sea Ghosts, have completely lost our sea turtle bloodline. Now we are two truly different races, so it's normal that you don't associate us with the Sea Turtles."
"But no matter how we mutate, we sea ghosts will still have the same longevity as sea turtles."
Tang Feng still looked at Chief Guining with a puzzled look.
The Guining clan leader glanced at Tang Feng unhappily and said, "You little guy, you have so many questions."
Tang Feng felt wronged, but he didn't say anything.
He didn't ask anything, why do you say he has a lot of questions?
From the expression on the face of this Guining clan leader, we can tell that he still has doubts. Can we blame him for having so many problems?
Is there still truth in this world!?
That’s too much!
The Guining clan leader continued unhappily, "Of course, I was able to live to 150,000 years old with my current cultivation level because I had a fortuitous encounter."
Zhang Yuan and Tang Feng became more energetic.
Adventures, who doesn’t want to hear about it?
They want to hear it anyway.
The Guining clan leader said, "When the Dark War broke out in Lingyuan Continent, I was just 50,000 years old, and my cultivation was already at this level today."
"At that time, due to an accident, I entered the Land of Exile early, which is now the Abyss."
He gave a bitter laugh and said, "What a coincidence! I'm trapped in this ruined place now. Since then, my cultivation has stagnated, but I've lived longer and longer."
Zhang Yuan frowned. "Chief Guining, are you saying that you were teleported directly to your current territory?"
There was an indescribable sadness in the eyes of the Guining clan leader.
"Yes, I have been trapped here ever since. Not long after, our sea ghost tribe was also teleported here. The children can leave the territory, but I can't get out no matter what."
Zhang Yuan looked at the Guining clan leader and felt that there was something else he had not said.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yuan asked.
"Chief Guining, is there anything else you haven't told us?"
The expression of the Guining clan leader was a little gloomy. He lowered his head and suddenly laughed out loud.
"Xiao Zhang, you can't be so sharp!"
Zhang Yuan did not give in and continued to stare at the Guining clan leader.
The Guining clan leader sighed and said, "I have spent a long hundred thousand years here, and during these hundred thousand years I have figured out many things."
He stroked his silver hair and said lightly, "Perhaps, my early entry into the Land of Exile wasn't an accident, but rather the result of my being chosen by the Land of Exile to become its guardian."
Zhang Yuan and Tang Feng took a deep breath and looked at each other again.
"Chief Guining, what do you mean!?"
Zhang Yuan had a bad feeling in his heart.
He always felt that what Chief Guining was going to say next was not what he wanted to hear.
Chief Guining stared at Zhang Yuan and Tang Feng for a long time, then nodded slowly.
"Your guess is correct, I think so too."
"Perhaps my life has long been tied to the Land of Exile. If one day the Land of Exile no longer exists, then I should be able to be free."
Zhang Yuan's heart sank suddenly.
Tang Feng didn't know what the leaders of the Yan and Xi tribes told Zhang Yuan.
But Zhang Yuan knew very well that if he wanted to preserve these dark races, he had to break the confinement between the Abyss and the Xuanling Continent.
In this way, the Abyss...the Land of Exile will no longer exist.
And if that happens...the amiable old man in front of me will leave this world.
Zhang Yuan felt extremely sad. He didn't expect that the sea ghost tribe would have such an unexpected gain this time.
If the leader of the sea ghost tribe in front of him was a bad guy, he would not care at all.
But he is a kind old man...
Isn’t this a world problem?
