Chapter 706: Doubts.
“Young man, being a guardian does not affect getting your wife back.”
Old man Long said cheerfully, “On the contrary, if you promise to take my place, this old man will help you improve your strength. After all, only when you have enough strength can you be qualified to go to the Secret Land and take your wife back.”
The dullness immediately faded from Xiao Luo’s eyes; his interest peaked. He had already exchanged the strongest skill the System had to offer. However, he still couldn’t defeat the Sword King of the Light Clan, so he must think of other ways to improve his strength. This old man, who was standing in front of him right now, was the Guardian of the world. If Xiao Luo could get his help, it would be of great help in his endeavor against the Light Clan..
“Xiao Luo, agree quickly!”
Xiao Quanren’s gaze was burning fervently; he was very anxious for Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo nodded and then cupped his hands to salute to Old man Long; “Senior, please help me improve my strength.”
“Ha ha…” Old man Long laughed. “This old man finally has a successor…”
“Senior, what is the Secret Land?” Xiao Luo asked.
“Let me explain this to you.”
Old man Long stretched out his hand and made a claw-like gesture, and a paper towel on the table flew into his hand. “The original appearance of the world is like this paper towel.”
He continued to speak as he crumpled the paper towel into a ball. “Now, this is the world we are familiar with and see, but in fact it is not like this. The space inside is very large. The paper towel is divided into two sides. One is the Outer Space, you should already know of this one; the other side is the Secret Land. The two parts complement each other; one cannot exist without the other. The two parts must be together to make a complete world.”
”
”
Xiao Luo thought it was astonishing. He never thought the world would look like this.
“What kind of race is the Light Clan?”
“They are the supreme rulers of the Secret Land, just like the government in our country. The only difference is that the entire Secret Land is under the rule of the Light Clan, and not just a country. You Xiao Clan people are born to be fanatical fighters, while the Light Clan is born with a strong talent for cultivation.”
“What is True Essence?”
“The so-called True Essence refers to Internal Strength, but they call it True Essence. They are the same thing.” Old man Long dispelled Xiao Luo’s doubts.
Xiao Luo asked, “How can I get to the Secret Land?”
“It is very simple. When you have enough strength, you can create a tear in the void. As long as you cross the chaotic space between, which is the four-dimensional space that scientists call today, you can reach the Secret Land.” Old man Long replied.
“In the four-dimensional space, there is a Chaotic God, so it is best not to disturb him.” Xiao Quanren then solemnly said.
Old man Long nodded, “Yes, there is the Chaotic God who is the master of this four-dimensional space. This old man has never seen him, but he has heard his majestic voice. I estimate that his strength will not be weaker than that of this old man.”
Chaotic God?
Xiao Luo thought that there were too many unknowns in this world. If his strength hadn’t reached this level, he wouldn’t even know that his Clan wasn’t from this world. As the great French philosopher Descartes said ‒ ‘the more one studies, the more he will find himself ignorant.’
‘When we aim our sight higher, we will find that there are more things in the world that cannot be understood by logic!’
”
”
“I want to improve my strength immediately.” Xiao Luo had a great desire for strength.
“En, I really appreciate young people like you the most.”
Old man Long smiled. “But to improve your strength in a short time, this old man can’t do it. You need to go to Tianshan Mountain.”
Tianshan Mountain?
Gu Qianxue’s master?
Xiao Luo frowned and mumbled, “Tianshan’s master?”
“Yes, she is this old man’s younger sister (sister like in a Sect, not blood related) who knows how to tap into the great potential in the human body. Since you’ve already awakened your Xiao Clan’s bloodline, you only need to tap it again. By then, your strength will be comparable to that of the four Kings of the Light Clan.” Dragon old man nodded heavily.
Gu Qianxue’s master is actually the old man’s younger sister?
Xiao Luo was stunned. He had thought a lot about the identity of the master of the Tianshan Mountain, but he never thought that she would be the Old man Long’s sister. Like the Old man Long, she was an ancient master who had lived for thousands of years.
……
……
Before going to Tianshan Mountain, Xiao Luo gave Zhang Dashan and his sister Xiao Ruyi a call. He instructed them to maange Luo Fang and Jin Yi Tang. As for Su Bei, Su Canye and Su Mu could take care of her for the time being, so there was no need to worry too much about her.
Miss Venom was lying in a crystal coffin in the science and technology building of the NSA, completely covered in poison. She looked like a sleeping beauty with a faint aura enveloping her.
Old man Long told him that Miss Venom had a special poisonous body constitution, so she didn’t die but fell into this coma state. This was the result of the self-protection mechanism of the poison in her body; thus it needed to be nourished with poison. Now, it was only a matter of waiting for her to wake up.
This made Xiao Luo feel a sense of guilt.
While walking on the main road of NSA headquarters with Ji Siying, Xiao Luo kept his head lowered and his brow furrowed.
He was having deep doubts about the System that had integrated with himself. The so-called [Berserk State] of the System was in fact his bloodline awakening. However, the System kept stating that this power was its ‘gift’, and not from the Xiao Clan’s bloodline.
Then who is lying? Is it Xiao Quanren or the System?
The answer was obvious ‒ the System was lying!
At the beginning, the System said that it came from a parallel universe, where the science and technology was ahead of here by 100,000 years. If it was really ahead by 100,000 years, why couldn’t he have the ability to defeat the Sword King of the Light Clan? One hundred thousand years ahead of the scientific and technological level is enough to easily destroy the world.
Could there be a man behind all this?
What is the truth?
Xiao Luo’s eyebrows became more furrowed. He thought back at the skills he had exchanged in the System, and discovered that there was a direct or indirect relationship with his strength. Although there were tens of millions of skills in the System, there was a general evolution trend pertaining to him; that was to say, it was to enhance his strength, even in the end, he had obtained the strongest skill that the System could give.
If someone was doing this behind-the-scenes, then this person was certainly constantly pushing him to become stronger.
But what is this person’s ultimate goal?
