Li Xiu felt a surge of joy in his heart, quickly poked it a few more tis, and the eggshell, once broken, seed to lose its original magical power, easily peeled off by Li Xiu, revealing the pure white egg inside like a boiled egg.
"Huh, how did that thing end up with you?" Old Bai heard the noise and knew the Rebirth Egg had been opened by Li Xiu. He turned his head to glance and, seeing the Purple Crystal Chopstick in Li Xiu’s hand, imdiately frowned and asked.
"Exchanged it from a demon spirit called Dumb." Li Xiu said.
"Dumb?" Old Bai was full of confusion.
"Maybe it’s a fake na. Who should this thing belong to?" Li Xiu picked up the peeled Rebirth Egg. It was soft and bouncy, seeming not too different from a regular boiled egg. He brought it to his mouth and took a bite.
With that bite, the Rebirth Egg was imdiately broken, and the whole egg flowed into his mouth like a stream.
The entire egg deford and slid into his esophagus, swallowed just like that.
The Rebirth Egg entered his stomach, but Li Xiu didn’t feel anything special, unsure if he really gained that so-called Undying Body.
"I don’t know who the Dumb you ntioned is, but since you’ve got that chopstick, you can continue moving forward." Old Bai pondered.
"Where to?" Li Xiu asked.
"Longevity Hall." Old Bai said with a faint smile: "That is the dwelling of the gods, a place mortals cannot reach, but with that chopstick, you should be able to get there."
"I don’t want to go to any Longevity Hall, I want to go back." Li Xiu said helplessly.
"You still want to go back after reaching here? I’ve been here thousands of years and haven’t been able to return." Old Bai looked up and down at Li Xiu and said, "However, having that chopstick ans it’s not completely impossible for you to leave."
"You’ve been here for thousands of years?" Li Xiu asked in surprise, "Then do you know the president of Longevity Heaven?"
"I only know Longevity Island and Longevity Hall. What is Longevity Heaven?" Old Bai frowned.
"Are you from the Demon Kingdom or Earth?" Li Xiu found it increasingly strange.
"What Demon Kingdom or Earth person, I am from Qin." Old Bai said.
"Qin...the Qin from the Seven Warring States?" Li Xiu quickly asked.
"What Seven Warring States, I don’t know what you an." Old Bai shook his head.
"Wait, who was the king of Qin during your ti?" Li Xiu thought of sothing and asked Old Bai.
"Ying Ji." Old Bai replied.
"King Zhaoxiang of Qin...and your surna is Bai...could you be the God of Slaughter, Bai Qi..." Li Xiu stared at Old Bai and said with a strange expression.
"I have long forgotten who I am, just a living dead trapped here." Old Bai said lightly.
Old Bai didn’t admit it, but neither did he deny it, which made Li Xiu’s expression increasingly complicated.
He had always thought that the president of Longevity Heaven and the Vase Monster should be from the Qin Dynasty, possibly related to the First Emperor’s pursuit of immortality.
If Old Bai really was Bai Qi, then Li Xiu’s previous conjecture was probably wrong. Before the First Emperor sought immortality, soone had already entered the Demon Spirit Realm, and the connection between humans and the Land of Trial was deeper in history than he imagined.
"Old Bai, how did you mistakenly enter Longevity Heaven?" Li Xiu glanced out the window, the storm outside had not stopped, and the thunder and rain continued sounding.
Old Bai glanced at the incense stick about to burn out and said lightly, "Ti is almost up, you should be on your way. Take that chopstick, and you will see the Longevity Hall if it’s really your fate."
"Why must I go to the Longevity Hall?" Li Xiu frowned.
"If you want to leave Longevity Island, that’s the only way." Old Bai said.
"What should I do when I reach the Longevity Hall?" Li Xiu felt Old Bai was hiding sothing.
"If you can get there, you’ll naturally know what to do. Rember, once outside the door, you must hold that chopstick." Old Bai said with a sowhat strange expression.
"What exactly is the use of that chopstick?" Li Xiu asked.
"Unspeakable, speaking of it will do neither you nor any good." Old Bai refused to say anything more.
At the mont the incense stick burned out, Li Xiu felt a sudden sharp pain throughout his body, as if his whole body cramped.
But that feeling lasted only a mont, quickly returning to normal, and he felt nothing more.
"Ti’s up, you should leave." Old Bai gave the order.
Li Xiu tried to ask more, but Old Bai would say no more, so he turned to Evil Luo King and asked, "Luo, do you know the origins of this chopstick?"
"Never seen it." Evil Luo King replied.
Unable to find anything out, Li Xiu could do nothing but follow Old Bai’s instructions and walk out of the small wooden house holding the Purple Crystal Chopsticks.
Strangely, though the wind was fierce and the rain was heavy outside, once Li Xiu took out the Purple Crystal Chopsticks, the wind and rain seed to be blocked by a mysterious power, flowing to the sides when reaching him, leaving not a drop on his body.
"What on earth is this thing?" Li Xiu was curious, but Old Bai, the only one who knew the chopstick’s history, would not tell him.
Li Xiu walked forward holding the chopstick, with neither wind nor rain touching him.
Even stranger, the black-clothed monster and white-clothed monster were nowhere to be seen, and having walked far out, they did not appear again.
