Ye Chen followed Chang Fu all the way to the back mountain.
It was not until we reached a clear stream that we saw an old man in linen clothes sitting cross-legged by the stream.
That natural state seems to be integrated with the surrounding environment.
This feeling even gave Ye Chen a mysterious feeling.
"As expected of a powerful person who almost stepped into the Demigod Realm, he is different from the average Great Perfection Emperor Realm."
Moreover, he even felt that Ling Xiao was, in some ways, three times stronger than the Black Demon he had met before.
He didn't know if it was his illusion or if what he saw that day was just a clone of the Black Demon.
"Ye Chen is here? Please sit down."
Ling Xiao saw Ye Chen, smiled and nodded, and some wrinkles appeared on his old face.
But at this moment, he is much younger than when he was in the fairyland.
It feels like rejuvenation.
It may be because after returning to the universe, it absorbed more cosmic energy.
This is no wonder. In the sealed human world, even the Heavenly Source Qi is pitifully scarce. It is very rare for one's realm not to drop too much.
"You must have a lot of questions in your heart that you want to ask me, right?"
Ling Xiao asked Chang Fu to brew a cup of spiritual tea for Ye Chen and spoke lightly.
He had long expected Ye Chen to come.
The universe is so vast and full of mysteries that even an old fellow like him who has practiced for tens of thousands of years can only glimpse one ten-thousandth of it, let alone a young kid like Ye Chen who is just starting out.
"Uncle Ling, I heard from Uncle Chang that you are the deputy leader of the Immortal Martial Alliance. Why haven't you returned to the headquarters? Instead, why have you been staying here with Uncle Chang?"
Ye Chen took a sip of tea and asked a question that was not a question.
"hehe……"
Ling Xiao smiled faintly, "I am old and out of touch with time. The structure of the Immortal Martial Alliance has changed countless times. If I go back now, wouldn't it be a bit ungrateful?"
There is a sense of wisdom and freedom in his tone.
Ye Chen was silent for a moment, and understood the meaning of the other party's words.
After all, the Xianwu Alliance is an organization of cultivators, and within an organization there is bound to be competition between the upper and lower levels.
Ling Xiao was a powerful man tens of thousands of years ago, and it is a miracle that he can survive until now.
If you go back now, the Xianwu Alliance has been replaced by a new generation of people. Where do you want Ling Xiao to go?
Of course, if Ling Xiao can become a demigod in the future, he will naturally be able to make a strong comeback again.
But that depends on Ling Xiao's own intention.
However, after tens of thousands of years of sedimentation, I wonder if Ling Xiao still has the desire to dominate.
For practitioners, sharpness is a very important factor.
Generally, young people are just starting out and are full of vigor and vitality. They are also more likely to accomplish world-renowned feats and step into a realm that ordinary people can hardly reach.
The older the practitioner is, the more decadent he becomes and the less sharp he becomes. Over time, he loses his enterprising spirit.
Your cultivation level will remain at that level permanently, or even regress.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen no longer worried about it.
After all, that is Ling Xiao’s own problem, so let him make his own choice.
Immediately, Ye Chen asked, "May I ask Uncle Ling, what exactly is the Yuanhui catastrophe?"
"The Great Tribulation of Yuanhui..."
When this word was mentioned, even Ling Xiao and Chang Fu's expressions changed, and they looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"The Yuanhui Great Tribulation, as the name suggests, means that every Yuanhui must go through a catastrophe!"
Ling Xiao's gaze was profound as he murmured, "Every time a great catastrophe occurs, countless people will die, especially cultivators. The more advanced the cultivator, the more likely they are to perish!
Even demigods are not immune, and there’s a possibility that only one in ten will survive!”
"oh?"
Ye Chen's eyes fixed, his mind was shocked.
He asked, "What about the gods? Will they be affected?"
"have no idea……"
Ling Xiao shook his head slightly. "Gods are too far away from us. Even if a god gazes at you, you might not be able to sense it. If a god wants to kill a demigod, it only takes a thought."
He sighed softly and continued, "Everyone knows that gods must exist in this world, but no one has ever heard of anyone actually seeing one. Gods and us, the creatures below them, are two completely different concepts...
The gods may see us as we see microorganisms, so tiny that we cannot be any smaller."
"So, isn't it very difficult for us to become gods?"
"It's more than difficult..."
Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, "So far, in this Tianhe Region, I have never heard of anyone who has truly become a god.
Even the strongest demigods... such as the currently popular rising star Chen Lie, who is said to have already stepped half a foot into the divine realm, and there are even rumors that he has killed a god...
Haha, it's ridiculous. The guy who compiled this really couldn't imagine the power and terror of the gods..."
Ye Chen's expression changed when he heard this, and he asked, "Could it be that Uncle Ling has ever felt the power of the gods?"
Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you remember what I said about the sneak attack by the demons when I was breaking through? At that time, I felt that I was doomed. At that time...
Suddenly, I felt myself being pushed by an indescribably powerful force. Just like that, I fell into the abyss, and then entered the fairyland, thus escaping the disaster."
"Are you saying that the one who saved you before was a god?"
Ling Xiao shook his head slightly and said, "I can't say for sure, but what I can be sure of is that a demigod would never be able to do this. That kind of power that can seize the destiny of heaven and earth is beyond human reach. It must be either the power of the universe itself, or the power of the gods..."
Ye Chen fell into deep thought after hearing this.
It turns out that in this world, there are still terrifying forces that I cannot understand.
But this is not difficult to understand.
The two drops of essence blood of Pangu and Nuwa have been passed down to this day. Although many eons have passed, they still have the power to kill a demigod in seconds.
This example alone is enough to illustrate the power of God!
"Can I become a god in the future?"
Ye Chen murmured in his heart. This was the first time he had such an unattainable feeling.
But on second thought...
I'm not afraid of anything!
I am still so young, and I have the support of the system. With these two measures, it is only a matter of time before I can be on par with the gods.
If one year doesn’t work, try two years.
If two years doesn’t work, then ten years.
If ten years doesn’t work, then a hundred years will.
Sooner or later, he will be able to stand on equal footing with the gods.
With this goal in mind, he became even more motivated.
At this moment, Ling Xiao said again: "So when you ask me whether the Yuanhui catastrophe will affect the gods, I can't answer that, but I can tell you for sure that it will have an impact on the cultivators of our entire Tianhe region.
At that time, in order to gain more chances of survival, fierce fighting will break out between the monks, between forces, between humans and demons, and even monks of the same force will betray each other and fight each other.
By then, the entire Tianhe region will be flooded with blood, and even the Tianhe River will be dyed red!"
