"Didn't you say this divine power was left by your Heavenly Calculation Pavilion's founding ancestor? If he didn't create it, who else could it be?" Li Beifei asked, puzzled.
Bai Yifei shook his head and said, "I only learned about this recently. Actually… this was given to our ancestor by the Sky Eye Empress's mother, the Sky Eye Royal Daughter. It's said she found it in an ancient ruin. It wasn't created by our Heavenly Calculation Pavilion's ancestor."
"So that's how it is. Hey, wait, are you saying the Sky Eye Empress gave it to your ancestor?"
Li Beifei's eyes nearly popped out as if he'd heard some super scandalous gossip.
"What? I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything at all," Bai Yifei quickly denied. He'd let something slip just now and was determined not to say any more.
"Bullshit, you clearly just said it. Hurry up, is there some kind of illicit affair going on?" Li Beifei asked, moving closer.
"Get lost!" Bai Yifei dodged away. One was his ancestor, and the other was his future mother-in-law. He couldn't say another word, no matter what.
The more Bai Yifei refused to speak, the more curious Li Beifei became.
"If you don't tell me, I'll find the Sky Eye Royal Daughter and get it straight from her when I have the chance."
"Damn it, Li Beifei, you son of a bitch!" Bai Yifei exploded.
"So, are you going to talk or not?" Li Beifei looked at him with a grin, confident of victory.
"Damn it, meeting you is the most absurd thing in my life, Bai Yifei!"
Bai Yifei cursed, but in the end, he still told the story of the Sky Eye Empress and the Heavenly Calculation Elder.
"Tsk, tsk, no wonder the Sky Eye Royal Daughter said there wasn't a single good person in your Heavenly Calculation Pavilion. There's a reason for everything!" Li Beifei recalled how the Sky Eye Royal Daughter challenged Bai Yifei by name when they were at the peak of North Mountain and said there wasn't a single good person in the Heavenly Calculation Pavilion. Thinking about it now, the Sky Eye Royal Daughter was right.
The Heavenly Calculation Elder's actions towards the Sky Eye Empress were nothing short of abandoning her after taking advantage of her, weren't they? The Sky Eye Royal Daughter was the daughter of the Sky Eye Empress and the Heavenly Calculation Elder.
Li Beifei's respect for the Heavenly Calculation Elder diminished, replaced by a hint of disdain.
Bai Yifei naturally sensed the change in Li Beifei's attitude towards his ancestor, but he didn't say anything. Regardless of the process between the Sky Eye Empress and the Heavenly Calculation Elder, the result was that the Heavenly Calculation Elder abandoned the Sky Eye Empress and the Sky Eye Royal Daughter. Bai Yifei could only ensure that he would love the Sky Eye Royal Daughter even more in the future and would never let his ancestor's actions happen to them.
That was why he fought so desperately after the Qilin Ancient Royal Son insulted the Sky Eye Royal Daughter. He felt indebted to the Sky Eye Royal Daughter.
"By the way, why was the Qilin Ancient Royal Son chasing you? Did you really steal some treasure from him?" Li Beifei asked.
"Steal some treasure my ass! The Qilin Ancient Royal Son was just looking for a reason to kill me!" Bai Yifei said disdainfully, then took out a Saint medicine.
"You tell me, it's just a Saint medicine, is there any need to chase me for three days and three nights for it?"
"True, a Saint medicine isn't worth making such a fuss over. It seems the Qilin Ancient Clan's hostility towards the human race isn't fake," Li Beifei nodded.
Actually, they were wronging the Qilin Ancient Royal Son. The Qilin Ancient Royal Son was indeed chasing Bai Yifei for that Saint medicine. The reason why Li Beifei and Bai Yifei didn't think the Saint medicine was important was because they had too many Nine Revolutions Life Renewal Pills. One Nine Revolutions Life Renewal Pill was worth several Saint medicines. They wouldn't value a Saint medicine too much, but they wouldn't throw it away either.
"Forget it, there's no use talking about this. The Qilin Ancient Royal Son has already been killed by you," Li Beifei waved his hand and skipped the topic.
Bai Yifei nodded, then he asked, "I say, what's going on with you? Aren't you afraid that the Azure-Clad Fairy will find out and chop you to death with her sword?"
"It won't happen, right? They're all sword attendants I found for Qingyi," Li Beifei said.
"You found the sword attendants for Qingyi? Are you sure it wasn't for yourself?" Bai Yifei looked disbelieving.
Li Beifei nodded seriously, then sent a divine thought to inform Bai Yifei of his and Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran's meeting process, including the two women's background.
After learning about the two women's experiences, Bai Yifei's face also revealed a look of sigh.
"They're all pitiful people!" Bai Yifei sighed. Taking following the strong as their lifelong goal, this kind of goal was absurd, bizarre, and devoid of freedom. It was actually their motivation for survival.
Besides pitiful, Bai Yifei didn't know what else to use to describe these people.
"Young Master, we're back!"
At this time, Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran returned.
Li Beifei nodded, then he said to Bai Yifei, "Brother Bai, are you going to continue adventuring on your own or are you going with us?"
"Together!" Bai Yifei said. He didn't have that much ambition. He was just trying to prove the Dao and become an Emperor. Compared to others, he didn't have that much determination.
Since they could travel together, of course they had to be together.
"That's good. If we can meet Xuan Mingzi and the others next, then our five-person team can be reunited," Li Beifei laughed.
"It's not that simple," Bai Yifei smiled bitterly. Being able to meet in the eighth level was already very lucky. Wanting to meet the other three next was more difficult than ascending to the heavens.
"I believe in my luck," Li Beifei laughed.
After packing up, the group headed to the teleportation altar. They didn't encounter any trouble on the way. They smoothly embarked on the ancient starry road to the ninth level.
…
Just as Li Beifei and Bai Yifei were traveling to the ninth level together, inside the Seven Stars Sword Sect of the Northern Chen Star, Gu Changsheng ended this sermon that lasted half a month.
After this sermon, the overall strength of the Seven Stars Sword Sect's disciples almost doubled. The biggest gains were naturally the three Saint-level powerhouses of the Howling Moon Sky Wolf Clan. Among them, Xiaotian's father, the Howling Wolf King, even broke through to the Saint King realm with this Gu Changsheng's sermon. The Howling Wolf King was even more determined and fortunate that he had decided to join the Seven Stars Sword Sect.
Originally, with his talent, it would take hundreds of years to break through the shackles of the Saint realm peak. Now, he had only joined the Seven Stars Sword Sect for two and a half years, and he had become a Saint King-level powerhouse. This was simply a heaven-sent opportunity for him.
This day, Gu Changsheng was drinking wine in the courtyard when Duan Fei walked in with a hurried look.
"Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up. What are you worried about?" Gu Changsheng put down his wine glass and asked.
"Teacher, just now, just now, one of our Pure Origin Buildings was destroyed."
