Just when Ji Yang was immersed in the joy of absorbing vitality, a subtle fluctuation in the distant sky made Ji Yang concentrate again, and he cast his gaze towards the place where the fluctuation was.
In the sight, an ordinary small pine needle is slowly floating down.
Although there was no light shining from the pine needles, Ji Yang's powerful consciousness could sense the unique scent from the pine needles.
As Ji Yang's branches swayed slightly, countless strands of sword energy quickly emanated from the locust leaves and headed towards the fallen pine needles.
But just when the tiny pine needle was about to be submerged by the sword energy, a bright golden light suddenly burst out from the pine needle. While eliminating the sword energy around it, an old figure slowly walked out of the golden light.
At the same time, Ji Yang heard a gentle voice:
"Haha, why are you so irritable, little friend?"
"I am Taixu, may I know your name?"
After realizing that the old man in front of him was just an incarnation and posed no threat, a young figure quickly emerged from under the locust tree.
Looking at the smiling old man in front of him, Ji Yang replied calmly:
"Your Excellency is a totem of a noble family. I wonder what brings you to our land?"
When the old man appeared, Ji Yang had already guessed his identity, and now he asked his purpose without hesitation.
Facing Ji Yang's defense, the old man didn't care at all, but smiled and said:
"My friend, there is no need to be so alert. After all, you and I are from the same origin."
Hearing this, Ji Yang sneered several times:
"Since they are from the same origin, why do we need to send someone to attack today?"
"This is just an accident. I came here today with good intentions. You may as well listen to me and make a decision later."
Ji Yang remained silent
"My friend, do you know what is above the starry sky?"
When asked by the old man, Ji Yang couldn't help but look up, with a confused look on his face.
Seeing Ji Yang's expression, the old man immediately began to explain:
"The world we are in is just a drop in the ocean in the endless starry sky. Every star you see is a world. In the endless starry sky, there are even more existences that we cannot even imagine."
"The countless stars should be equally bright. Do you know why some are dim while others are as bright as day?"
Seeing Ji Yang's astonishment, the old man smiled faintly and continued to explain:
"That's because, in the endless starry sky, there are still struggles. If you can't win, you will become a vassal of another world, and the stars will be dim from then on."
“But the stars seem very close, but they are actually very far away. If the star is dim, no one will notice it. The Martial Immortal Realm is just like the firefly light in the dim star. Once it lights up, it will attract the attention of other stars.”
After hearing the old man's explanation, Ji Yang suddenly understood:
"So, the reason why there are no martial immortals in the Ten Thousand Dragon Realm is all because of you? In the Martial Immortal Realm, the secret of breaking through the Martial Immortal Realm is also true?"
The old man shook his head and sighed helplessly:
"The world has misled us for a long time. Our Ten Thousand Dragon Realm is just a newborn realm. How can we compare with other stars? Once there are too many martial immortals, other realms will covet us, causing the lives of all living beings in the world to be destroyed and rivers of blood to flow."
"Our purpose now is just to protect the peace of this planet. As for the Wuxian Realm, it was created by several Wuxians in the past. It's just that those people misunderstood us too deeply, so they made some moves in the Wuxian Realm."
"Even though we have the power to destroy the Wuxian Realm, we still choose to leave it behind because of the contributions of several people. However, for the sake of peace in this world, this secret cannot be revealed to outsiders."
"The duty of our Five Realms family is to secretly maintain the stability of this world. Do you understand what I mean?"
Hearing this, Ji Yang suddenly realized what was going on. He then clasped his hands together and said with reverence:
"Your seniors are of high moral character, selfless dedication, and silently protect the peace of this world. I really admire you very much."
Seeing Ji Yang's attitude change greatly, the old man smiled a little and said:
"It's not easy for us living beings. You have grown to where you are today in just a few decades. It shows that you have a great talent."
"The previous war between the two clans was just a misunderstanding. Today, I sincerely invite you to become the second family in my Southern Border. From now on, we will jointly rule the Southern Border. What do you think?"
Ji Yang did not respond immediately after hearing this, but said with a slight hesitation:
"But everyone in the Chen family already knows this secret. I have grown up with this family, but it is difficult for me to let go..."
The old man smiled and waved his hand:
"Why not? I have a magical power that can erase the memory of everyone in the Chen family about this matter. In this case, are you willing to agree?"
Hearing this, a look of joy instantly appeared on Ji Yang's face.
Under the old man's smiling eyes, the joy on Ji Yang's face disappeared, and he quickly replied:
"No."
As the word "disagree" came out of his mouth, the smile on the old man's face froze instantly, but he was not angry. Instead, he asked in confusion:
"Young friend, can you tell me the reason? If you are still not satisfied with something, I will find a solution."
Seeing that the old man was still kind, Ji Yang chuckled a few times and said in a sarcastic tone:
"If you really want to protect the stability of this world and can't bear to see the lives of the people destroyed, why would you suppress the warriors in this world? If you use the Heaven and Earth Alliance to weaken the strength of the various races, why would you watch the war between the five domains and remain indifferent and not stop it? And you will not use the pretext of justice to arbitrarily cut off the path of all warriors to ascend to the Great Dao."
"You keep saying that you are protecting the peace of this world, but in my opinion, you are just a bunch of cowards who are afraid of death and want to live a miserable life!"
With every extra word Ji Yang said, the old man's face became darker. When Ji Yang finished speaking, the old man's face was extremely gloomy.
"So, you're not going to agree?"
Listening to the old man's threatening words, Ji Yang did not respond, but just said lightly:
"If I'm not mistaken, what you are eating is the scent of incense, right?"
"Then I would like to ask you one more question. Where does the evil thought in the incense you inhale come from?"
The old man's expression froze when he heard the words. His face, which was originally gloomy, lost all its friendliness after hearing Ji Yang's last words. When evil thoughts emerged in his heart, the old man's face instantly became ferocious, and his sinister eyes were full of murderous intent:
"You will pay the price for your refusal today!"
But the only answer the old man received was the trembling of the locust leaves.
When the sword energy cut through the old man's body again, the tiny pine needle also disappeared in the air.
