"My true self has always been one of invincibility, an invincible spirit!"
Yuan Zhexian murmured to himself, his gaze firm and profound, as if it could pierce through the endless void.
However, at this moment he fell into deeper thought.
"Alas, now I am so focused on finding the way back that I have completely ignored my own actual situation."
Yuan Zhexian gently shook his head, sighing inwardly.
He knew that given his current physical condition, even if he found a way back, he would probably be unable to embark on the journey home.
Recalling what the old man had said, Yuan Zhexian nodded in agreement, saying, "What the old man said is absolutely right. A mere path home has caused such a commotion in my mind."
"How can someone with such a restless mind reach the pinnacle of the Dao?"
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhexian's mindset gradually changed.
He thought to himself, "Since I'm already here, I might as well make the best of it."
"Calm down and carefully observe this mysterious and unpredictable world of cultivation."
"Perhaps here, I can gain unexpected opportunities and breakthroughs, thereby rapidly improving my abilities."
"Once he possesses sufficient power, Yuan Zhexian believes that everything in the world will be under his control."
"At that time, let alone a mere road back, even if he faces a much more difficult road, he will be able to handle it with ease."
Having thought of this, Yuan Zhexian finally understood and felt relieved, a relaxed smile appearing on his face.
Just as he was about to thank the old man who had given him the inspiration, he suddenly looked up and was surprised to find that the old man had disappeared without a trace.
Yuan Zhexian looked around, full of doubt. Then he noticed Yuan Taixu beside him, who was engrossed in eating, devouring a chicken leg. So he asked, "Taixu, when did that old man leave?"
Just then, Yuan Taixu slowly raised his head with a suspicious look on his face. He blinked his bright eyes, his lips still greasy, and asked with a greasy mouth, "Master, what old man are you talking about? Where did this old man come from? I didn't see him at all!"
The moment these words left his mouth, Yuan Zhexian's expression changed drastically, and his heart was filled with shock and disbelief.
You should know that with his cultivation level and keen perception, he could clearly sense that there was not a single trace of cultivation fluctuation on the mysterious old man's body, but at the same time he was absolutely certain that the old man had indeed truly existed here.
What's even more baffling is that only she could see the old man; everyone else around her seemed oblivious to him and completely unaware of his presence.
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhexian felt a chill run down his spine, and a thin layer of sweat involuntarily appeared on his forehead.
Such unfathomable and terrifying strength is probably something that even the ancestors of the Yuan Clan might not be able to reach!
Faced with this situation, Yuan Zhexian forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, and hurriedly replied, "Uh...no...it's alright."
Before long, Yuan Zhexian and his disciple finished their meal and got up from the table, satisfied. They went straight upstairs to their guest room to rest.
However, not long after they left, a slight ripple suddenly appeared in the previously empty void, and then a blurry figure gradually emerged.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the mysterious old man who had previously greatly shocked Yuan Zhexian.
At this moment, the old man floated quietly in mid-air, his gaze falling on Yuan Zhexian, who was walking towards the room, through the window of the restaurant. He muttered to himself, "Hehe, that old fellow was right after all. This kid is not only exceptionally talented and has extraordinary aptitude, but his comprehension is also quite high!"
"Oh dear, it's really not easy! I just wanted to take a nice stroll around this world and enjoy the local delicacies, but who would have thought that old man would ask me to look after this little guy? What a mess!"
After saying that, the old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and then his straight nose sniffed the air like a hunting dog.
Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in his previously slightly cloudy eyes, and he exclaimed excitedly, "It's the taste of assorted cold dishes and steamed eight-treasure pork!"
"Haha, delicious food, delicious food, I'm here, hehehe!"
With a triumphant laugh, the old man's figure vanished into the void like a ghost, as if he had never existed.
Time flies, and several days have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Yuan Zhexian and Yuan Taixu, who were leisurely strolling and wandering around Tianyan Star, were enjoying the bustling and prosperous scene around them.
Suddenly, he keenly sensed several figures rushing past like lightning in the sky above his head.
These people were incredibly fast, and the powerful aura they exuded was truly terrifying.
Upon closer inspection, Yuan Zhexian discovered that these figures possessed unfathomable cultivation levels, with almost every one of them having reached the terrifying realm of Tribulation Transcending.
Just then, a surprised exclamation came from the roadside: "Look! Those people are the elders of the Heavenly Evolution Sword Sect!"
Upon hearing this, another passerby quickly chimed in, "That's right! If we were fortunate enough to join the Heavenly Evolution Sword Sect, wouldn't our family be able to do whatever we want throughout the entire Eastern Star Region!"
Just as these people were discussing among themselves, the mysterious Shenghong Ancient Jade deep within Yuan Zhexian's sea of consciousness suddenly erupted with a dazzling light once again...
