It's unclear whether his statement was self-aggrandizement or a genuine display of ability.
At the very least, no one could see a trace of fear or hear any hint of compromise in his eyes.
"However, I am very interested in the [Seventy-Two Heavenly Keys and Earthly Locks Formation] that you mentioned."
"Mr. Hong, could you tell me in detail?"
"If possible, please take me there so I can have a site inspection."
"certainly……"
"In return, I will do something I can to help you."
Upon hearing Xu Shan's words, Hong Tai remained silent for a moment before replying, "Of course."
"However, Senior Xu..."
"Just call me Xu Shan."
“Master Xu, this Seventy-Two Heavenly Keys and Earthly Locks Formation cannot be explained in just a few words.”
"Besides, you were just lucky to enter the Central Plains. If you knew nothing about its terrain, it would be difficult to seek revenge, wouldn't it?"
"Night is almost here."
"Throughout the four seas and eight wastelands, after nightfall, monsters roam freely and alien races appear."
"The number of spirits will also be dozens of times greater than it is now."
"If Master Xu doesn't mind, you can go to Hongjia Village with them!"
“In the process, we can explain the [Seventy-Two Heavenly Keys and Earthly Locks Formation] to you in detail. In addition, our village also has a detailed map about the Central Plains.”
"How about I send someone to take you to the border between China and Turkey for an on-site inspection first thing tomorrow morning?"
Faced with Hong Tai's enthusiastic invitation, Xu Shan accepted it without much hesitation.
I was new here and unfamiliar with the place.
Having a place to stay temporarily is better than running around recklessly.
Of course, more importantly.
He could obtain firsthand information about the Middle Kingdom.
"Old Hong!"
"This kid's origins are unknown. Will bringing him back to Hongjia Village cause any trouble?"
"Recently, the people of the Shuiyin Sect have been infiltrating disciples into various villages and turning rogue cultivators within them."
"The goal is to wipe us out in one fell swoop."
"Bringing a stranger back at this time... could it be a trap?"
On the way back to Hongjia Village, Li Gu saw Hong Ying engrossed in chatting with Xu Shan and said to Hong Tai with a jealous expression.
"A high-level cultivator who can resist spiritual evil by projecting his internal energy outwards—would the Shuiyin Sect send him here as an undercover agent to target our Hong Family Village?"
Isn't this a waste of talent?
"The hostility he inadvertently displayed when discussing the Heavenly Domain Alliance was definitely not intentional!"
"Being able to befriend such a promising young high-level cultivator might solve the current crisis in Hongjia Village."
Hearing this, Li Gu was speechless and could only quicken his pace to catch up with Xu Shan and Hong Ying, who were chatting enthusiastically.
He kept his ears perked up, remaining vigilant at all times.
"Master Xu, how exactly do you cultivate?"
"How could someone reach such a high level of cultivation given the scarcity of resources in the mortal realm?"
"You must be very powerful in the sect down there, right?"
Faced with Hong Ying's question, Xu Da Guanren smiled calmly and said, "I don't belong to any sect."
"From humble beginnings!"
"Huh? By yourself?"
Hong Ying, her eyes wide with shock, looked even more astonished.
They all climbed up from the bottom level after opening the gates to heaven.
Naturally, they know the importance of resources.
Born into a peasant family?
Relying entirely on oneself?
Upon hearing this, Li Gu immediately interjected, "Rely on yourself?"
"That Celestial Master Xu must be at least in his eighties or nineties, right?"
"What kind of martial art is this that can make you young again?"
In the subconscious mindset of all cultivators, the ability to ascend from the mortal realm to this place is paramount.
They either rely on resources, namely the legendary power of sects and families.
Or they're just killing time!
Even the most gifted and talented individuals will find it difficult to achieve success overnight without the support of resources.
Besides, those who ascend to immortality from various mortal realms—aren't they all chosen ones by the destiny of their respective planes?
Since Xu Shan claimed to be of humble origins and demonstrated considerable strength, Li Gu instinctively assumed that the other party must be quite old.
That's why they look so young.
He must have practiced some kind of rejuvenation technique!
