"Long Fei?"
Jin Xiyao murmured softly, retracting her small hand.
Her deep blue eyes locked onto Long Fei as she spoke, "Before we fell into an endless darkness. Everyone thought we were dood, but I believed we would co out alive. Do you know why?"
Long Fei shook his head.
Jin Xiyao gave a faint smile and told him, "Before heading into battle, I had a High Priest who could see the future divine an oracle for . He said my future was dark, but within that darkness was a ray of light. He told to follow the dragon, and I would surely turn danger into safety. I always rembered that sentence, but I never understood what it ant to follow the dragon. Isn’t it a coincidence that your na is Long Fei? Could it be that the High Priest ant for to follow you?"
Long Fei raised his brow, thinking to himself what kind of charlatan this was, making up nonsense to deceive young girls.
He didn’t believe it. How could they predict things thirteen thousand years later? Were they immortals?
He said to Jin Xiyao, "I’m just a chance occurrence for you guys. There’s no need to follow . Instead, think about how to help the people of Aurelius break free from the chanical people’s enslavent."
"Naturally!"
A light shone from the ring on Jin Xiyao’s hand, and the room imdiately humd.
The Automatic Purification System activated, quickly absorbing and expelling all the cosmic dust inside.
The room quickly returned to its pristine state.
A marble-constructed fountain gurgled as it began to flow with water.
This water flowed through a small stream made of pebbles, across the garden inside the hall, re-wetting the dried-up soil.
She scattered seeds into the soil, and in less than a breath, the seeds began to grow, sprouting, silking, continuously growing until the entire room was filled with blooming flowers.
Jin Xiyao, with her hands behind her back, leaned down and greedily slled a flower, exclaiming happily, "After all these years, the sacred spring water here still works, I’m truly surprised."
Long Fei’s eyes, peering through the spring water, had already discerned the laws of growth within it.
The water contained abundant Essential Qi, allowing the plants to grow rapidly.
In the Ancient Era, Aurelius was already a star domain with a highly developed technological civilization.
He had seen many places depicted with aliens visiting Earth on ancient murals.
Could these aliens be the people of Aurelius?
Jin Xiyao sat on a swing in the garden, staring at Long Fei with a curious look, "I heard from Jin Feng that you were the one who opened the gate of Profound Origin Pure Gold. How did you manage that?"
"Jin Feng?"
Long Fei raised his brow.
Jin Xiyao laughed and said, "He was the first warrior of ours to awaken; his na is Jin Feng."
Long Fei asked her, "Is the material of the gate you ntioned Profound Origin Pure Gold?"
Jin Xiyao replied, "Yes, Profound Origin Pure Gold is the progenitor of gold we found in the universe and is the earliest ford tal substance after the cosmos began. This tal has ultra-strong defensive power. It seems like chaos, can’t be refined, and can’t be inscribed with engravings, so it’s only used as a defensive gate. I’m curious, how did you open this gate?"
Long Fei smiled slightly, "No wonder, I just absorbed this tal into my stomach to refine it, that’s all."
"What?"
Jin Xiyao widened her eyes in surprise, looking incredulously, "You said you ate the Profound Origin Pure Gold?"
Her speech was sowhat stuttering, seriously doubting the veracity of Long Fei’s words.
Long Fei replied, "I wondered why this tal didn’t carry a murderous aura; turns out it was a mass of Pure Gold. This Xin tal is good for nourishing the lungs, much better tasting than Geng tal."
"You’re quite a peculiar person!"
Jin Xiyao shook her head, still sowhat astonished, "Yin gives birth to the five internal organs, Yang gives birth to the six hollow organs. The kidney is Gui Water, the bladder is Ren Water, the heart is Ding Fire, the small intestine is Bing Fire, the liver is Yi Wood, the gallbladder is Jia Wood, the lungs are Xin tal, and the large intestine is Geng tal.
We on Aurelius also have research on genetic dicine for enhancing the physical body, but we’ve never seen anyone eat so much tal in one go. Aren’t you afraid of tal poisoning? Even if you’re immune to all poisons and have abundant Golden Energy, wouldn’t your other organs suffer damage?"
"You know quite a lot."
Long Fei smiled in surprise, not expecting this young girl to have a study of dicine.
Although, by logic, she’s already thirteen thousand years old and could be Long Fei’s ancestor.
But in Long Fei’s eyes, she’s still just a young girl.
Before, he indeed couldn’t devour tal directly, as that was seeking death.
But now it’s different; he has acquired the essence of Yin Yang, rging with the abdominal five elents.
Yin Yang operates, harmonizing the five elents.
No matter what Yuan Force exceeds, with Yin Yang’s harmony, it can be evenly distributed to the five elents.
His body can now devour anything and digest everything.
Long Fei had heard a legend that Chi You the Demon King, who fought with the Yellow Emperor for the world, fed on tals.
He now believes this legend might be true.
Jin Xiyao blushed slightly, a little proud when she heard Long Fei praise her, "Back on Aurelius, I was quite the academic among my peers. No matter what the field, I have dabbled in a bit. Take dical sciences, for instance, called Alchemy in other star domains and Genetic Potion in ours. In essence, it’s about extracting the Yuan Force of all things for human use. Judging by your outfit, you must be a cultivator from another star domain, right? Thirteen thousand years have passed and you’re still dressed like this? Looks just like an antique."
Her mind was active, and surprisingly, she was already contemplating these things over thirteen thousand years ago.
Long Fei told her, "I think like you; the Cultivation World has always adhered to the ancient ways, believing ancient thods are good and modern science is a heretical path. Now that the deadline is near, and the Demon Race is about to make a coback, I hope these two civilizations can integrate. When we Nine Domains resist the Demon Calamity, we’ll have an additional assurance."
Jin Xiyao stood up, looking at him with surprise, "So you’re in agreent with my viewpoint?"
Long Fei nodded, "Of course."
Jin Xiyao delightedly like a child, "That’s fantastic! You’re the first person to so accept my beliefs. Before, when I criticized those old antiques, they would rather roast over a fla, calling an anomaly in the Cultivation World. You’re comndable, more open-minded than those relics."
Long Fei asked her, "So, we are now on the sa front?"
"Of course!"
Jin Xiyao looked at him, "Aurelius is my ho, and I certainly won’t allow a bunch of chanical People to run rampant. Let us combat the chanical People together and spread our idea to the Nine Domains, completely transforming the Cultivation World therein."
She extended her small hand, open in front of Long Fei.
Unfamiliar with this gesture, Long Fei, following common practice, placed his hand on top.
A golden light wrapped around his wrist, and Jin Xiyao, with a serious face, chanted, "Honorable Knight, it is your bravery and wisdom that have rescued us from endless darkness. I, Jin Xiyao, swear to the Jin Clan’s Guardian God, willing to unite with you, spreading the civilization of Aurelius throughout the Nine Domains. Willing to share the reign of Aurelius with you, unrepentant for life. Wishing my Spirit Soul to accompany yours to the end, never to betray!"
A golden bracelet simultaneously appeared on Long Fei’s wrist and Jin Xiyao’s wrist, seemingly encoding imprints on them.
Long Fei frowned as he listened, feeling the scene was sowhat mismatched, akin to a wedding vow on Earth?
