Just as Meng Xi was cursing, a figure dressed in a black robe appeared in front of him, holding a black token, and cupped his hands, saying, "Elder Patriarch, the Xuan Bird Envoy summons you."
Upon hearing the black-robed man's words, Meng Xi immediately handed over the baby in his arms, then took the token from the black-robed man's hand and asked, "Do you know what it is?"
The man in black shook his head: "The envoy did not reveal anything."
Meng Xi nodded: "I have high hopes for my great-grandson."
Then, his figure blurred, and he disappeared from the spot with the black token in his hand.
Soldiers dressed in blue armor, holding bronze spears and with bronze swords hanging at their waists stood around a mountain range deep in the Qinling Mountains.
The soldiers were expressionless, their eyes piercing, staring intently ahead.
They guard a palace atop the mountain.
Inside the palace, a young man dressed in a black robe with a mythical bird motif and wearing a Qilin crown held a bamboo slip in his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Shen Lang, interesting."
"That's so interesting."
"This world, like stagnant water, has been silent for far too many years."
"Even I'm tired of staring at it."
"I hope this Shen Lang can bring me a little surprise."
After saying this, the young man closed the bamboo scroll and instructed the servant beside him, "Send word to the Bai family."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After the guards left, the young man walked to the palace gate, his every move exuding unparalleled nobility and domineering presence.
There were no unnecessary actions or words.
The place where he stood seemed to be the center of the world.
The soldiers around him, seemingly cast in steel, looked at him with eyes full of worship and fanaticism.
The young man's every move captivated their breath and heartbeat.
………………
Let's return to Baiyun Mountain Villa.
After paying his respects to Yu Tianxing, Meng Xiaobai was sent away.
"Young Master Meng, my master invites you." As soon as Meng Xiaobai stepped out of the reception room, Qingcao appeared in front of him and said with a smile.
Meng Xiaobai's expression froze for a moment, and after hesitating for a second, he followed behind Chuncao.
Upon arriving at the pavilion, Shen Lang was still leisurely enjoying Bai Xue's massage.
Upon seeing Meng Xiaobai arrive, Shen Lang pointed to a stool opposite him and said with a smile, "Young Master Meng, please have a seat."
Meng Xiaobai sat nervously on the stool, her gaze towards Shen Lang slightly evasive.
“Young Master Meng, there’s no need to be so formal.” Shen Lang said with a smile, lying on the cool chair. “Since you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t force you.”
Meng Xiaobai nodded.
Then Shen Lang tossed the enigmatic stone ring back to Meng Xiaobai, saying, "It's returned to its rightful owner; this thing doesn't belong to me."
Meng Xiaobai hurriedly took the ring, and asked nervously, "Then Young Master Shen... mine..."
Shen Lang's condition for opening up his meridians was this stone ring.
But now that Shen Lang has returned the ring to him, Meng Xiaobai feels somewhat worried.
He genuinely wanted to learn martial arts.
Shen Lang sat up and smiled, "Young Master Meng, I, Shen, have an unwritten rule: there is only one chance. I have already given you one, but you did not know how to cherish it."
After saying that, Shen Lang got up and prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, a voice echoed in Meng Xiaobai's mind: "Kid, quickly agree to him, quick."
At the same time, Shen Lang also heard the little elf's voice in his mind: "Master, there is an energy body on Meng Xiaobai, which should be coming from the ring."
Shen Lang paused slightly, turned around and stared intently at Meng Xiaobai, who looked completely bewildered.
He thought to himself, "Just as I thought. It seems the little guy was right. This ring is destined for Meng Xiaobai."
At this moment, a person claiming to be the Wuji Emperor appeared in Meng Xiaobai's mind.
"Little sprite, detect this energy body." Shen Lang stared intently at Meng Xiaobai.
"Yes, Master."
Then, information belonging to this energy entity appeared in Shen Lang's eyes.
Trader: Zao Wou-Ki
Identity: Wuji Emperor of the Xuantian Realm
Desire: To return to the Xuan Tian Realm and personally kill his betraying wife, Empress Bi Yao.
Synopsis: Zhao Wuji is the pride of the Zhao family, an immortal clan in the Xuantian Realm. In his youth, he was the leader of the four young masters of the Xuantian Realm. At two hundred years old, Zhao Wuji led the Zhao family in conquering all the forces, large and small, in the northern part of the Xuantian Realm. After unifying the northern forces, he was known as the Northern Emperor.
A thousand years later, Zhao Wuji successfully proved his Dao through battle and became the Northern Supreme of the Xuantian Realm, with the title of Wuji Emperor.
Two thousand years later, Zhao Wuji gained some insights into cultivation and prepared to go into seclusion to break through.
However, he was betrayed by his wife, Fairy Biyao, who conspired with the false emperor Chu Lanfeng to give Zhao Wuji the most potent poison in the Xuan Tian Realm, the Heart-Eating Powder, which was colorless and odorless.
After being severely poisoned, Zhao Wuji was ambushed and killed by ten pseudo-emperors and two great emperors from the Chu and Li families, both of which are immortal clans. At the cost of serious injury, he killed eight pseudo-emperors and seriously injured one.
He was eventually killed by the combined forces of the Chu family emperor and the Li family emperor.
On the verge of death, Zhao Wuji unleashed his cultivation at the Great Emperor level, forcibly tearing through the space-time barrier, hiding his soul in the Zhao family's ancestral Ghost Ring, and shattering the void to arrive on Blue Star.
Sensing the depletion of spiritual energy on Earth, Zhao Wuji sealed himself with the Ghost Ring in order to preserve his soul.
As time passed, when the seal on the Ghost Ring loosened, he heard a little boy crying alone in a corner of the outside world.
They also discovered that Meng Xiaobai was a one-in-a-million Chaos Saint Body in the cultivation world, and that as long as he opened up all his meridians, the seal could be broken.
With their own assistance, they will surely soar like a fledgling eagle and dive into the sea like a dragon.
It can even reach a level that one has never reached before.
Unfortunately, Zhao Wuji is now just a soul, and the Ghost Ring can only contain and repair souls; it is a functional artifact specifically designed for souls.
His own soul possessed no rare or precious treasures that could help Meng Xiaobai.
Moreover, he has been repairing his damaged soul for more than a decade, and it was only today that the repair was completed.
He had witnessed everything that happened between Shen Lang and Meng Xiaobai.
When Shen Lang refused to open Meng Xiaobai's meridians, he could no longer hold back and appeared in Meng Xiaobai's mind.
At this moment, Meng Xiaobai was stunned and stood there frozen in place.
After reading Zhao Wuji's introduction, Shen Lang was also greatly shocked.
While being shocked by Zhao Wuji's origins, what shocked them even more was that Meng Xiaobai was indeed the person with a destiny in the little elf's words.
Shen Lang returned the way he came and walked to Meng Xiaobai's side. He then solemnly instructed Shuang'er beside him, "Shuang'er, clear everyone around. I have something to do."
Seeing this, Shuang'er dared not be careless. She abandoned her usual mischievousness and nodded solemnly, saying, "Yes, young master."
Just as Shuang'er turned to leave, she heard Shen Lang's voice again: "Remember, it's everyone."
"Shuang'er obeys."
