Chapter 1080: Chapter 730: Inquiring Dao Cultivation
Xiang Beifei felt as if a storm was brewing inside him.
He carefully scrutinized the Diviner, trying to discern some clues from the other person. However, the Diviner’s attire was very ordinary, the kind worn by many people across major cities.
There was no way to detect anything unusual from any angle.
Clearly, the Diviner was adept at disguise. After all, experts like Ye Qiniang at the Inquiry Dao Realm were seasoned veterans of the Edge Corner Airspace. Without a good disguise, one would still be seen through.
"Oh right, these two little ones, wandering everywhere and got themselves trapped."
The Diviner rummaged in his pocket for a moment and then, like picking up little chicks, grabbed Xiaohei and Erha by the scruffs of their necks and pulled them out!
"Let go of me, old man with white eyebrows, I want to duel you!"
Xiaohei waved his little hand, trying to grab the Diviner.
However, his little hand was too short to reach the Diviner.
The Diviner flicked Xiaohei’s little head, making him dazed for a moment, wide-eyed and speechless, looking rather dumbfounded.
"You’re the mischievous one, not sticking with Xiang Beifei properly, causing trouble everywhere, you just had to get trapped in Dayan Jinshou to be satisfied."
The Diviner threw Xiaohei and Erha to Xiang Beifei.
Xiaohei looked bewildered.
Erha, on the other hand, quickly reverted to his original form, furiously wriggling into Xiang Beifei’s pocket, trembling with fear, too scared to utter a word for a long while.
"You know my name?"
Xiang Beifei held the buzzed Xiaohei, surprised.
The Diviner could actually see Xiaohei!
Bear in mind, Xiaohei was invisible, ordinary people couldn’t see him!
"I know a few things."
"Why do you, senior, know about my matters?" Xiang Beifei continued to ask.
"Explaining would be troublesome. Originally, if you had just come with me, I wouldn’t have bothered to deal with those seven little bugs from the Dao Palace, perhaps I’d even have the energy to chat with you. But you hesitated, I had to act, and my split body’s power was directly exhausted."
The Diviner stretched lazily, and his figure grew even more illusory.
Xiang Beifei frowned deeply.
But a moment later, he solemnly bowed to the Diviner, saying, "Thank you, senior, for the life-saving grace."
"No worries, I was just idle. The matters in the future you’ll have to handle yourself, many things you must resolve. I can’t intervene in the matters of the Dao Palace. Ah, I’m going to disappear..."
The Diviner’s body had become just a wisp of a shadow, weaker than even the Qi-Controlling stage.
"How should I address you, senior?"
"Ji, they all..."
But before the Diviner could finish his words, his figure transformed into a wisp of blue smoke, dissipating into the air.
"Ji?"
Xiang Beifei furrowed his brows.
His mind was now full of various questions.
The Diviner knew so much about him, was he a practitioner of the Human Race?
——
Xiang Beifei refocused his attention, holding Xiaohei, he patted Xiaohei’s head and asked, "Xiaohei, what happened with you guys?"
Xiaohei took a while to regain his senses; the Diviner’s flick had almost left him stunned. He shook his head and reverted once again to a three or four-year-old child, sitting on the ground, touching his chin, his little face full of confusion.
"Strange, I always feel the old man with white eyebrows seems familiar."
"Familiar? How so?"
Xiaohei scratched his head again, uncertainly saying, "It’s hard to say, but I feel like the old man with white eyebrows knows me well, my brick wasn’t enough to beat him!"
"The golden array patterns on the brick didn’t work?"
"Completely useless, I hit him twice, and he took my brick and slapped my butt with it, it made me so angry!" Xiaohei said with hands on hips, puffing angrily.
Xiang Beifei was momentarily at a loss for words.
After a while, he asked again, "How did you guys enter the Rushou relic?"
"We heard there were treasures in the Rushou relic, so we went in to take a look. Everything was going smoothly until we accidentally triggered an attack from the Ancestral Dao Realm. That thing trapped me, and I couldn’t get out since my brick’s power wasn’t enough. Later, the old man with white eyebrows came in, laughed at my misfortune, and I thought he was an apparition from Dayan Jinshou, so I wanted to fight him..."
Xiaohei briefly recounted his experience of encountering the Diviner, but he didn’t know much. The Diviner was just playing around, and Xiaohei suffered a significant loss in front of the Diviner.
Xiang Beifei calculated the time carefully. Xiaohei was likely saved by the Diviner during Xiang Beifei’s time on the altar, and they didn’t interact much.
Xiang Beifei took the Wooden Kirin from his pocket and asked, "What about Erha? Why is he so well-behaved now?"
Xiaohei mischievously said, "Gold subdues wood! He was almost caught to be chopped up as firewood!"
"I... I wasn’t afraid of that ghostly place at all! I completely thrashed Rushou!" Erha stiffly said.
"I saw you so scared you wet your pants!"
"That was sweat! My pants sweat easily when I turn human!"
...
Xiaohei and Erha started bickering again.
Xiang Beifei ignored the two of them and instead sat cross-legged to begin healing.
The injuries this time were severe, the opponent was a master at the ascension realm. Even with the help of "Return to the Original State," he still took seven days to fully recover.
After recovering, he didn’t immediately rush to do anything. Having just stepped into the early stage of the Inquiry Dao Realm, he needed to consolidate his strength, so he continued to cultivate.
Inquiry Dao Realm, seeks the path suitable to oneself, he had already determined his path, and he would not retreat a single step!
