Before leaving.
Su Weiwei, Qin Yuan...
Showed extreme reluctance at Bai Zihe's departure.
However.
Bai Zihe entrusted the city of Su Hang to them, so the two didn't say much more.
Bai Zihe's actions were enough to make them understand that, at least, they still held a place in Bai Zihe's heart!
This also made both of them feel much better.
"This..."
Bai Zihe thought for a moment and finally took out a few pills.
There were Foundation Establishment Pills, Vitality Gathering Pills, and some Marrow Cleansing Pills. These were essential for ordinary people to become nascent cultivators.
Of course...
People like him, who cultivated directly from the Grandmaster realm to the Nascent Core realm, and then to later stages, were not included.
"When you take these, you must find a quiet place with no distractions."
"If you have that destined opportunity, you will naturally be able to step through the door of cultivation. If you don't have that opportunity, then there is no other way."
The two clutched the pills tightly in their hands, as if holding the entire world.
"Mr. Bai..."
"Mr. Bai..."
On the verge of leaving, the two couldn't help but step forward, one on each side, and pecked Bai Zihe on the cheek simultaneously.
"Swish!"
"Swish swish!"
"Swish swish swish!"
In an instant, Bai Zihe felt countless sharp gazes fixed on his retreating back, like thorns in his flesh, making him extremely uncomfortable.
No need to look back.
No need to think much.
Bai Zihe knew it must be his senior sisters.
Next.
They would travel together to Xuanyuan Palace.
As for Miao Miao and Liu Qianxun, Bai Zihe initially intended to take them along, but they were unwilling.
They even said.
They wanted to return to their respective places to seek opportunities.
So.
Bai Zihe had no choice but to give them some pills as well, and also gave each of them a communication jade slip, so they could notify him immediately if anything happened.
Then, he left.
Half a day later.
The group arrived in the territory of Kunlun Mountain.
Xuanyuan Palace was divided into an outer palace and an inner palace.
The outer palace was where the disciples usually carried out their activities, and for the most part, there were no restrictions.
The inner palace was different.
The inner palace of Xuanyuan Palace was almost filled with mechanisms and restrictions everywhere.
A slight carelessness, a wrong step into one of these places, could lead to extreme danger.
This was naturally not a problem for ordinary Xuanyuan Palace disciples; they were already very familiar with it and would not wander in randomly.
However, for Bai Zihe and his group...
Ji Xianxian introduced it in detail and solemnly, warning them not to wander around.
Bai Zihe and the others naturally agreed.
Afterward.
After settling Bai Zhanhong, Bai Ruoyi, and the other seven senior sisters, Ji Xianxian found Bai Zihe alone.
"Junior brother."
"You might have sensed it too, Xuanyuan Palace is not as simple as it appears."
Bai Zihe nodded slightly.
Along the way, he had released his divine sense and detected many powerful auras, but these auras also carried a sense of strangeness that he couldn't understand.
Of course, this strangeness was different from the darkness and oddity; it was just a subtle mystery that was hard to describe.
"When the time is right..."
"I will tell you everything, but not now."
"Now, there is still some time before the ancient ruins open. I will take you to observe the primal chaos qi first. I imagine you can't wait."
Saying so, she flew towards a location ahead.
Yes.
Bai Zihe was indeed eager.
Ji Xianxian had said he was chosen by the primal chaos, and the Haotian Tower had also mentioned that he might be the one in the future.
How could he not be excited?
Bai Zihe immediately followed Ji Xianxian.
A moment later.
The two arrived at a cave.
At the entrance of the cave stood three statues.
The first on the left, holding the先天八卦 (Xian Tian Ba Gua - Primordial Bagua), was clearly Fuxi.
The one in the middle, holding countless medicinal herbs, should be Shennong.
The first on the right, holding the Xuanyuan Sacred Sword, was none other than the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan.
"Swish..."
Upon arriving here.
Ji Xianxian bowed piously.
As she lowered her head.
She was murmuring something, but Bai Zihe couldn't hear it clearly.
"Swish..."
Bai Zihe also bowed piously.
Fuxi...
Along with Nuwa, he could be considered an ancestor of humanity. It was not excessive for him to pay respects to this human progenitor.
Shennong...
Thanks to him, humanity in ancient times gradually entered stages similar to modern humans in terms of diet, medical care, and so on.
Xuanyuan...
There was no need to say more; he was undoubtedly a sage of the Great Xia nation. Without him, the Great Xia nation would not be what it is today.
After the three bows, Bai Zihe followed Ji Xianxian and walked into the cave.
"Inside here..."
Ji Xianxian walked unhurriedly, explaining to Bai Zihe as she went: "This is the most mysterious place in our Xuanyuan Palace, the Cave of the Three Sages."
"It holds some of the greatest secrets of our Xuanyuan Palace."
"However..."
Ji Xianxian suddenly stopped and her gaze towards Bai Zihe became more solemn: "You must not wander around this place."
"Otherwise, if you accidentally enter certain areas, even I might not be able to bring you back."
Bai Zihe was startled.
He had already suspected that this cave was not simple, but he hadn't expected that even his eighth senior sister didn't fully understand it.
However, that wasn't the main point.
He just wanted to feel the primal chaos qi now, and had no other intentions.
Soon.
Ji Xianxian led Bai Zihe into one of the caves.
This cave was very strange.
As soon as they stepped inside, it felt like entering another world.
Not only was the atmosphere completely different, but the sky also had ten suns, and there were all sorts of birds and beasts.
Five-clawed golden dragons, fire-bathing phoenixes.
Taotie, Luan birds, Vermilion Birds, Azure Dragons, White Tigers, Black Tortoises...
All sorts of creatures, most of which Bai Zihe had never seen before, but they could all be matched with the divine beasts in legends.
However.
Bai Zihe extended his divine sense.
These divine beasts gave him a very unreal feeling.
It was as if they were merely illusions, mere simulations.
They had the form but not the spirit.
Bai Zihe didn't think much about it and continued to follow Ji Xianxian.
After walking for about ten minutes.
Ji Xianxian led Bai Zihe to a valley.
Here there was birdsong and fragrant flowers, immortal energy permeating the air, auspicious light shining everywhere, and myriad divine charms. It was truly a heavenly paradise.
Bai Zihe was momentarily stunned.
"Junior brother."
"How do you feel about this place?"
Ji Xianxian, standing beside him, slowly closed her eyes, looking at everything.
"This place..."
"Is indescribably wonderful."
Bai Zihe said this from the bottom of his heart.
Yes.
Upon arriving here, his mind became completely clear, free of all worries and troubles.
Not pleased by external things, not saddened by personal losses.
Completely detached from the world, lost in the moment.
"Good."
Ji Xianxian smiled. "That means you still have some innate talent."
Bai Zihe smiled. "Eighth Senior Sister, what about the primal chaos qi..."
"The primal chaos qi is here."
Ji Xianxian said frankly. "However, whether you can sense its presence depends on your fortune."
