2286-2290 Reunion With Elder - Cultivation Online

Tian Yong's Long Journey to Sense Celestial Chi 2286 Sensing Celestial Chi too Once he confirmed that his senses were properly linked with Tian Yang's, Kulis began attempting to sense Celestial Chi. However, even though he had managed to sense it before, it wasn't something he could replicate immediately. When he first successfully sensed Celestial Chi, it took him nearly 10 years of straight cultivation. Fortunately, he has gotten a lot better these days, and the last time, it only took him a month. Days passed in the blink of an eye, yet Tian Yong still couldn't sense anything different. Kulis hadn't sensed it either, of course, but Tian Yong didn't know that, and speaking might disrupt their concentration, so he stayed silent. A little over a month later, Kulis finally began to sense the Celestial Chi around them. However, he stayed silent, allowing Tian Yong the chance to perceive it on his own. Tian Yong, not knowing when or if he would sense anything, maintained his focus throughout the entire month. He could tell that something had changed through Kulis's senses, yet he still couldn't grasp it clearly himself. This feels just like when I was inside Han Zishian's cavern. Tian Yang thought to himself, recognizing a familiar sensation in the struggle to comprehend the unknown. Naturally, this was nothing like attempting to comprehend the forbidden knowledge that devoured his longevity. Compared to that ordeal, his current situation was considerably more comfortable. Minutes turned into hours and hours into days. In the blink of an eye, another month had passed, yet Tian Young still made no progress. After yet another month, Coolest opened his eyes and said. Speaker 2 All right, that's enough for me. I can only stay in this state for so long before I'm mentally exhausted. Speaker 1 Tian Young opened his eyes as well and let out a defeated sigh. I wasn't. Speaker 2 Able to sense it, or rather I sensed something yet couldn't grasp it all. Sorry for wasting your time. Speaker 1 Coolest let out a hearty laugh. Speaker 2 Did you truly expect to sense celestial chi so quickly? I certainly didn't think you would succeed on the first attempt. You may excel in comprehension, but celestial chi is something else altogether. It will be an obstacle even you will struggle with. Also, while I may be helping you sense celestial chi, I'm also improving my own comprehension, so it's not like I am wasting any time. How often will we do this? Speaker 1 Tian Young then asked. Speaker 2 If every session takes around 3 months, we could do it 2 * a year. Once a year is fine. If you want to take it slower, let's do it twice a year then. Very well. Speaker 1 Although he would only attempt to sense celestial Qi with Kulis's assistance twice a year, Tian Yong continued to practice on his own whenever he had the time. Speaker 2 Any progress? Speaker 1 Rencia asked Tian Yong after he returned from his tenth attempt to sense Celestial Qi. Speaker 2 Nope. Speaker 1 100 attempts later. Speaker 2 Any progress? Speaker 1 Tian Yong could only silently shake his head. In the end, it took Tian Young over 1000 attempts and 250 years to finally sense Celestial Qi, albeit only a glimpse. Speaker 2 I can sense it. I can sense celestial Qi. Speaker 1 Tian Young exclaimed with excitement the moment he sensed it. It had been a long time since he experienced such excitement and it made him feel like a child again. Speaker 2 Good. Now this is where the true trial begins. Coolest. Speaker 1 Remarked with a smile. Speaker 2 Right. Speaker 1 Tian Yang's excitement quickly died down after he remembered that it would take more than just sensing Celestial Qi to reach the next cultivation realm. Speaker 2 How's your progress? Speaker 1 Tian Yong then asked. Speaker 2 As slow as a snail. Speaker 1 Kulis shook his head. While Tian Yong had at last succeeded in sensing Celestial Qi, Kulis had shown almost no improvement, and his progress was barely any different from what it had been 250 years earlier when Tian Yong first started. Speaker 2 At this rate, we probably won't see what's beyond the Immortal Realm for several more. Speaker 1 1000 years, cool aside. Speaker 2 That's a generous estimate. Speaker 1 Said Tian Yong. Speaker 2 Not only do we need to fully comprehend it, but we also need the proper technique to cultivate it. I have a feeling that we won't see any real progress for at least 10s of thousands. Speaker 1 Of years, Coolest replied. Speaker 2 It sucks, but what can we do about it? With that said, it's not like it's a race, at least not for me, so I'll be taking things nice and slowly. Speaker 1 Now that he's managed to sense Celestial Chi, Tian Yong decided to continue cultivating to make sure it wasn't a fluke. A year later, Tian Yong returned to Rencia with the results. Speaker 2 Seeing how it took you much longer to return this time, I guess you finally managed to sense Celestial. Speaker 1 Chi Rencia said, reading him like an open book. He nodded. Speaker 2 Now that I can sense celestial chi, I can help you sense it too. Speaker 1 However, Rencia shook her head. Speaker 2 Thanks for the offer, but I want to try sensing it myself. Speaker 1 Why? Tian Yong asked, genuinely puzzled. Speaker 2 Because of my pride. Speaker 1 She replied calmly. Speaker 2 I still don't understand. Speaker 1 Renciaw took a breath before elaborating. Speaker 2 Kool has managed to sense Celestial Chi on his own. I don't want to lose to him, so I'm going to do it myself. Of course, I'm not belittling your achievement, this is just my own stubborn pride. Moreover, it's not like I have anything else to do, if that's what you really want to do. Speaker 1 Tian Yong nodded. Speaker 2 If you ever change your mind, I'll be here. Speaker 1 Rencia chuckled and said. Speaker 2 Who knows, maybe I will even surpass you. Speaker 1 He smiled and said. Speaker 2 If you can truly comprehend Celestial Qi by yourself, then that is only a given. Hell, if it weren't for the Heaven Defying Ascension Pill, you would have already surpassed me in cultivation. Then how about a wager? Speaker 1 Rencia suddenly said. Speaker 2 Let's bet on whether I can sense Celestial Qi within 5000 years. What we betting on if I win? You must listen to one of my demands. If I lose, I'll listen to one of yours. Speaker 1 She said. Speaker 2 That's it. Speaker 1 Tian Yong raised his eyebrows. Speaker 2 If there's something you want from me, you can just ask me, you know? I know, but I cannot think of anything else. Speaker 1 I guess. Speaker 2 Then I'm going to start now. Speaker 1 Rencia wasted no time and immediately started her cultivation session. I should probably set a goal for myself too. Tian Yong thought to himself as his gaze lingered on Rencia for a minute before he also started his own cultivation. Now that he could sense Celestial Chi, Tianyang found himself spending more and more time in cultivation. At his current cultivation level, time moved beyond recognition, especially when cultivating, and what he perceived as minutes often slipped into years without him noticing. 1000 years, 2000 years, 4000 years passed in the blink of an eye. Although so much time had passed, little had changed in the cultivation world. However, more and more cultivators were now reaching the True Immortal Realm and had begun attempting to sense Celestial Chi. Then another 700 years passed, dear. Speaker 2 I've done it. Speaker 1 Tian Yong was in the middle of cultivation when he suddenly heard Rencia's excited voice coming from the room beside his. When he opened his eyes, he could see her standing outside his open room with an exhilarated smile on her face. Speaker 2 I can sense celestial chi. Speaker 1 She declared with a proud smile. Oh. Speaker 2 How long has it been? Speaker 1 He asked. Speaker 2 4752 years. Speaker 1 She immediately answered. Speaker 2 To be honest, I was close to giving up. Speaker 1 She suddenly continued. Speaker 2 However, in the end I had an enlightenment. An enlightenment? How did it feel? Speaker 1 Tianyong asked, his interest piqued. Renciaw closed her eyes to recall the feeling and replied. Speaker 2 It's hard to explain. One moment I couldn't sense anything, and the next I could suddenly feel celestial chi as if it had always been there. Speaker 1 She paused for a moment before adding. Speaker 2 To be honest, it feels unreal. I can sense celestial chi, yet it doesn't feel like something I accomplished. It feels as though it was given to me. What are you talking about? It's definitely your own achievement. Or what are you saying? That heaven took pity on you and directly helped you like the Enlightened One from the three pillars of Heaven, if you put it like that. Speaker 1 Renshaw muttered with a stiff smile. Speaker 2 Anyway, this means I won the bet that. Speaker 1 Tian Yong wore a puzzled face. Speaker 2 Don't tell me you forgot. Speaker 1 Tian Yang's expression froze for a moment before he suddenly recalled the bet. Speaker 2 I remember now, sorry, I actually forgot about it. Speaker 1 He said. Speaker 2 So what do you want me to do for you? I'll let you know once I think of something. Speaker 1 She replied quickly. You had almost 5000 years to think. Speaker 2 Nonsense. Speaker 1 She shot back. Speaker 2 I was completely focused on my goal. I didn't have any room left to think about anything else. If you say so. And you, how close are you to understanding Celestial Qi? Speaker 1 She then asked. Tian Yong offered a faint, bitter smile. Speaker 2 There are moments when I thought I was close, but the deeper I delve, the clearer it becomes that I've only touched the surface I see. What about Coolis? Actually, I haven't seen or spoken to him in a while now. Speaker 1 He admitted. Speaker 2 Then let's go see him now. I can't wait to gloat. Speaker 1 Rencia chuckled. Speaker 2 All right. Speaker 1 He nodded. 2287 Mood Swings Shortly after Rencia emerged from her successful seclusion, she and Tian Young went to find Coolis. Unraveling Coolis's Mysterious Mood Swings and Tournament Plans However, when they arrived at the throne room, they were met with an unfamiliar sight. The usually unobstructed entrance was now guarded by two figures standing watch outside. Speaker 2 Guards, did something happen? Speaker 1 Tian Yong wondered out loud as they approached the room. They have been living at the palace for thousands of years at this point, but this is the first time they've seen guards outside the room. When the guards noticed Tian Yong and Rencia, they immediately bowed and said. Speaker 2 We greet senior Tian and Senior Run. Hey, we're here to speak with Coolis. He's inside, right? Speaker 1 The guards nodded, but they continue to say. Speaker 2 Yes, but we cannot let you inside without the giant Emperor's approval. What kind of absurdity is this? Speaker 1 Rencia said sharply. Speaker 2 We walked in and out of this place freely for thousands of years. What changed? Speaker 1 The guard offered an apologetic smile. Speaker 2 I'm aware, but these are His Majesty's orders. He expressly commanded us to prevent the two of you from entering without his consent. He mentioned US directly. Speaker 1 Tian Young had a bad feeling about their situation, and he quickly said. Speaker 2 Then can you let Coolest know that we're here? Of course. Speaker 1 One of the guards retrieved a communication jade slip and spoke into it. Moments later, the guard returned and relayed Coolest's response. Speaker 2 His Majesty says he's currently occupied and will meet with you next month. Next month. Speaker 1 Tian Young raised an eyebrow. Though a month was nothing to cultivators at their level, it still felt strange. Coolest had never made them wait before and had always prioritized them no matter how busy he was. Speaker 2 All right, we'll come back later. Speaker 1 However, Tian Young didn't linger, and quickly left with Rencia something. Speaker 2 Feels off. Speaker 1 He remarked as they returned to their room. Speaker 2 And it's not just the situation with Coolest. The atmosphere in this place feels different. When was the last time you left this room? Speaker 1 Rencia asked him. Speaker 2 About 200 years ago, so a lot could have happened. So what? Are we just going to wait? Speaker 1 She then asked. Speaker 2 It's only a month, however I could talk to someone else. You mean Chao shuiing or? Speaker 1 CMA The following day, they went to look for Chao Shuiing. However, they soon learned that she was no longer staying in the palace, having moved instead to the newly established Alchemy school on the Giants Continent. Speaker 2 I forgot they created a school for alchemist 500 years ago after the success of their school for a rain master. Speaker 1 Tian Yong remarked, Since these places were relatively small and operated more like ordinary schools, they were classified as such rather than as sex or other formal establishments. These schools accepted anyone willing to learn, regardless of background. They were also free to attend, making them immensely popular, so much so that humans would travel across great distances just to study on the continent. Over the years, the Giants Continent continued to expand, growing several times its original size. Not only that, its influence had already spread beyond the continent, and it was no longer an obscure power known to only a few. In recent times, the Giant race had begun appearing outside their continent, albeit only within nearby regions. Though they continued to draw attention and disdain, it wasn't as intense as before. Not wanting to disturb Chao Shuang, Tian Yong went to find CMA instead. He quickly found her at the training ground. Speaker 2 Senior Tian, it's been a while. Speaker 1 CMA greeted him with a bright smile. He nodded. Speaker 2 Indeed, it has. What brings you here? Speaker 1 She asked, eyes gleaming. Speaker 2 Don't tell me you came to see me. If so, this will be the first time you're the one seeking me out. Speaker 1 It has always been Sia Mae who approached him in the past, never the other way around. Speaker 2 Yes, I have a few questions. Speaker 1 The smile on Sia Mae's face faded and she asked. Speaker 2 Have you spoken to my father yet? Speaker 1 Tian Young shook his head. Speaker 2 He's busy so I won't be able to see him for another month. I see. So you're here to ask me about my father's situation? Did something happen to him? Speaker 1 CMA scratched her head inside. Speaker 2 Something did happen, but it isn't for me to tell you. If you want to know, you will have to hear it from my father. Speaker 1 Tian Yong fell silent for a moment before asking with a slight frown. Speaker 2 Is it really that serious? Honestly, not really. Speaker 1 Tian Yong was left dumbfounded. How could it not be serious when everything pointed to the opposite? Seeing his reaction, CMA shrugged. Speaker 2 You'll know once you speak with my father. Speaker 1 Since it was only a month, Tian Young decided to wait it out. Time seemed to pass far more slowly than usual for him, but eventually the month came to an end and he was finally granted an audience with Kulis. Tian Young and Rencia followed the guard who informed them that Kulis was waiting. Upon entering the throne room, they found Kulis seated on his throne, a perplexed expression on his face. Speaker 2 What's going on? Did something happen while we were in seclusion? Speaker 1 Tian Young went straight to the point and asked. Coolest didn't immediately respond. After a long minute of silence, he eventually let out a deep sigh. Speaker 2 Honestly, I'm still contemplating whether I should even tell you since it's a little embarrassing. Embarrassing. Speaker 1 Tian Yong raised his eyebrows, looking confused. Speaker 2 Stop beating around the Bush and tell us already. Speaker 1 Rencia said, sounding annoyed, cool aside once more before nodding, A defeated look crossing his face. Speaker 2 I've been experiencing random mood swings that I cannot control lately, mostly anger. I thought I had completely moved past my old scars, but it seems my mental instability is slowly. Speaker 1 Returning, he revealed 2288 mood swings 2 coolest continued, his voice heavy. Speaker 2 Because of these mood swings, my family has started avoiding me. They try to hide it, of course, but it's obvious to me. Wait, mood swings? That's it. Speaker 1 Rencia said, staring at him in disbelief. Speaker 2 Are you certain this isn't simply stress? Speaker 1 Coolest nodded and elaborated. Speaker 2 The mood swings came out of nowhere and have only been growing more frequent. Not only can I no longer control them, but I'm starting to lose awareness altogether. I don't even realize it's happening until it's already over. There's no way stress would cause this. Speaker 1 Tian Young then said. Speaker 2 I agree that this doesn't resemble stress. However, that doesn't necessarily mean your mental instability has returned. You've been stable for thousands of years. Why would you suddenly regress? Was there some kind of trigger? Speaker 1 Coolest pondered his question for a moment before shaking his head. Speaker 2 No, not that I can think of any. Then there must be another explanation. Have you seen a doctor yet? Speaker 1 Rencia asked. Speaker 2 That was the first thing I did when it started happening. I saw several of them too. However, they were unable to find anything wrong with me. If I'm not ill and it isn't stress, then there's only one explanation remaining my mind. Speaker 1 Cool aside. Speaker 2 Despite our strong physiques and resilient mental fortitude, cultivators are not immune to mental damage. In fact, we are often more susceptible to it. What about a heart demon? Speaker 1 Tian Yong asked. It's. Speaker 2 One of the most common issues cultivators face. What if a part of your mind still believes you're trapped in the immortal clans dungeon? I don't possess any heart demons. I've already taken the demonic manifestation pill, a medicine designed to forcibly expose them, and it produced no response. Anyway, regardless of the cause, the reality remains that I'm causing trouble for my family. Speaker 1 Coolest said. Speaker 2 Thankfully, you haven't seen my mood swings yet and I intend to keep it that way. How do you intend to do that? These mood swings are random, right? Are you only going to meet us after you've had one? And how bad are these mood swings? Speaker 1 Tian Yong bombarded him with questions. Speaker 2 From what I've heard, the mood swings aren't severe. Speaker 1 Coolest explained. Speaker 2 But they're unsightly. As for how I plan to make sure you don't witness them, I don't know yet. I'll think of something. Until then, it's best we limit our interactions. Speaker 1 Tian Young narrowed his eyes. Speaker 2 Are you saying that because you don't want trouble us? Of course. What else would it be? And yet, that's exactly what you're doing. Speaker 1 Tian Young replied calmly. Speaker 2 Avoiding us isn't a solution, even if you believe it's unbecoming. Distancing yourself won't fix anything. You're simply running from the problem when we should be addressing it together. What do you think swarm brothers are for? That's. Speaker 1 Coolest was left speechless by his words. Tian Yong continued a moment later. Speaker 2 If you get it, let us help you. Speaker 1 A warm smile appeared on Coolest Face. Speaker 2 Thanks. Speaker 1 Sometime later, Coolest asked. Speaker 2 By the way, why did you want to see me? Speaker 1 Rencia smiled and replied. Speaker 2 I wanted to gloat about what that I have managed to send Celestial Chi all by myself. Speaker 1 She revealed with a prideful look on her face. Kulas offered no reply, only staring at her in stunned silence. His eyes widened and his mouth slightly open. After a moment of silence, he shifted his gaze to Tian Young and asked. Speaker 2 Is she telling the truth? You didn't help her at all. Speaker 1 Tian Young nodded with a smile. Speaker 2 Yes, she's telling the truth. I offered to help her, but she refused. It took me less than 5000. Speaker 1 Years, she added. Speaker 2 Now watch me into the next realm before either of you will. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Speaker 1 Coolest shook his head. They continued chatting for a little longer before Coolest brought up a new topic. Speaker 2 By the way, this may sound random, but I've been wanting to do this for a very long time. Speaker 1 After taking a deep breath, he continued. Speaker 2 I'm going to host a tournament on this continent. A tournament. Speaker 1 Tian Yong raised his eyebrows at this news. Coolest confirmed with a nod. Speaker 2 The participants will only be allowed to use their physique and techniques limited to strengthening their bodies, so there will be no weapons or Marshall techniques allowed. I'm going to call it the Tournament of Strength. Why are you suddenly hosting a tournament? Speaker 1 Tianyong asked, puzzled by his intentions. Speaker 2 Although anybody can participate, the giants will likely dominate it since we inherently have a superior physique. As for the purpose, I want to showcase the power of giants to the rest of the world. Oh, I also want to see if there are any excellent warriors out there for my children. Were you going to host it? I don't have an exact date, but I have already begun the preparations maybe around 50 years from now. I see. I'm looking forward to it. You're participating, right? Speaker 1 Coolest suddenly asked with expectant eyes. Speaker 2 What me? Speaker 1 Tian Young almost couldn't believe his ears. You. Speaker 2 Want me to participate in a tournament with my cultivation? You won't be using your cultivation though. It doesn't change the fact that I'll likely be competing with people with far less experience. Speaker 1 Coolest chuckled and said. Speaker 2 You don't have to give me an answer right now, just think about it for now. I'll ask you again once I have all the details ready. Whatever. Speaker 1 A year later, COOLEST officially announced the Tournament of Strength. It instantly became a sensation across the Giants Continent and even drew the attention of those beyond its borders, especially after word of the tournament's reward spread. The tournament was scheduled to take place in 50 years, but people were already heading to Giants Continent mere days after it was announced. In the years that followed, the Giants Continent became more crowded with visitors than ever before, including unexpected visitors from the Holy Continent. 2289 a faint presence. Tian Yong Reflects on Past, Senses a Familiar Presence Hey brother, Are you sure you don't want to participate in the Tournament of Strength? Speaker 1 Coolest. Asked Tian Young as the tournament day drew closer. Speaker 2 How many times do I have to decline before you get it? Speaker 1 Tian Young side. Speaker 2 But don't you want to show off your skills to the world? Why the hell would I care about something like that? And it's not like the world isn't aware of me already. Have you forgotten who brought the downfall of the Immortal Clans? Speaker 1 Tian Yang's war against the immortal clans had once made his name infamous across the Divine Heavens. However, with thousands of years having passed, his name, though not forgotten, was rarely mentioned anymore. Speaker 2 Also, I am technically a criminal, you know. Speaker 1 Tian Yang said with a slight smile. Coolest laughed out loud and said. Speaker 2 Who dare hunt the man who pretty much single handedly defeated the immortal clans? If anyone were to go after you, it'd be the three pillars of heaven, but seeing how they've ignored you, you don't have to worry about such a thing. Speaker 1 After a moment of silence, Tian Yong spoke. Speaker 2 Now that you mentioned it, why didn't the three pillars of heaven do anything? They basically allowed the immortal clans to fall. Speaker 1 If the three Pillars of Heaven had intervened with his revenge, the immortal clans would have likely still been as powerful as before. Speaker 2 The three Pillars of Heaven are not babysitters, nor do they have any reason to help the immortal clans. While they may have been on friendly terms, it's not like they were actual friends with each other. Speaker 1 Coolest paused briefly before continuing. Speaker 2 Speaking of the three pillars of heaven, I received some interesting information about them yesterday. It appears that some of their people will be present at the tournament. Speaker 1 Tian Yong raised his eyebrows at this news. Speaker 2 The Three Pillars of Heaven will be participating in the tournament. Speaker 1 He asked with a dumbfounded face. Speaker 2 No, they won't be participating. They will only be spectating. I doubt they'll only be here to spectate. Speaker 1 Coolest nodded. Speaker 2 I'm sure they have business with me, but we know too little about them to make any speculations. Anyway, if you're not going to participate, what are you going to do to spectate? Speaker 1 Tian Yong nodded. Speaker 2 What a pity the champion of the tournament will get to fight me too. You make it sound like we haven't fought each other thousands of times by now and I'm sure you wouldn't want to lose before so many people in. Speaker 1 Public Coolest chuckled. Speaker 2 Now that you've mentioned it, we haven't sparred in a few 100 years and I still haven't beaten you yet. If you want to fight, we can do it after the tournament. Sounds good. Speaker 1 Coolest nodded. Tian Young then said. Speaker 2 By the way, how have you been feeling lately? I haven't seen any mood swings since you mentioned it nearly 50 years ago. I'm actually confused myself. I'd have mood swings several times a year, but after I spoke to you it hasn't happened once. If I'd known it would be like this, I would have told you soon, of course. Speaker 1 Coolest agreed with a smile. As time passed in, the tournament day drew closer. More and more people flocked to the Giants Continent. Cultivators of great power and members of influential families alike arrived in droves, all eager to witness the prowess of the giant race first hand. Although rumors circulated that members of the Three Pillars of Heaven might appear, no one knew their identities or if they would truly show up, leaving the crowds to speculate. Speaker 2 It's been a while since I left the palace, so I'm going to leave for a bit. Speaker 1 Tianyang said as he approached the door. Speaker 2 Where are you going? I'll go with you. Speaker 1 Rencia said. However, Tian Young shook his head and said. Speaker 2 Sorry, but I want to go alone. I've been wanting to visit this place ever since I returned to this continent, but I never found the courage to do so. Speaker 1 Rencia realized where Tian Young wanted to go, and calmly nodded. Speaker 2 All right, I won't bother you then. Thanks. Speaker 1 After leaving the palace, Tian Young made his way to the place where he had first met Kulis and where he had lost Wang Shaoli. Yet the continent had changed beyond recognition. Its land expanded many times over. It took him considerable time to find the location, and when he finally stood there, it bore no resemblance to his memories. Given the thousands of years that had passed, that was only natural. After standing motionless for many hours, Tianyang finally reached into his pocket and retrieved A spatial ring. Speaker 2 If reincarnation is real, are you somewhere in this vast world right now living a vastly different life? Are you living a happy life? Would I even be able to recognize you? Speaker 1 He muttered some time later. He put away the spatial ring and began walking a certain path. Eventually, he reached an empty stretch of land, once the entrance to Hansicien's tomb. It was now utterly barren, with no sign that the tomb had ever existed. According to what he'd heard from Rencia, the Immortal clans had taken full control of Hansicien's tomb after he entered the cavern. However, they soon realized that the trials no longer functioned, reducing the tomb to nothing more than an empty world. After he escaped from the tomb, the Immortal clans were forced to abandon the tomb as well because it started to collapse on itself. Kulas told me that he tried to find Hans Zishen's tomb again, but to no avail. Tian Yang's thoughts were abruptly interrupted when he sensed A faint presence approaching from behind. He turned around, and his eyes widened in shock and disbelief. It was someone he recognized. Not only did he recognize them, but despite the thousands of years that had passed, they hadn't changed in the slightest. However, before Tian Young could snap out of his days, the individual spoke first. Speaker 2 The young, young elder son. Speaker 1 He responded. 2290 reunion with Elder Son. Tian Yong's Emotional Reunion with Elder Son Roshi The person standing before Tian Young was none other than Elder Son, and she looked exactly as she had the last time he saw her, thousands of years ago, almost as though she hadn't aged a single second. Elder Son was a beautiful young woman with short black hair that barely brushed her shoulders, clear amber colored eyes, a slender physique, and a rather ordinary stature. She wasn't the kind of breathtaking beauty that drew instant attention, yet there was a subtle aura about her, one that made her seem more beautiful the longer 1 looked. Speaker 2 The young, young, is that really you? Speaker 1 Elder Son said softly, blinking as if she couldn't quite believe her eyes. Unlike herself, Tian Young had changed tremendously since the last time she'd seen him. He had grown taller, more mature, and of course, more handsome. He was no longer the young man who had always worried her. Yet despite his transformation, Elder Son recognized him almost immediately. Speaker 2 Elder son, so you were alive. Speaker 1 Tian Young spoke with a relieved smile on his face. Speaker 2 Why would I be dead? Speaker 1 She frowned slightly. Speaker 2 Didn't you hear about what happened to the Immortal Monastery? Speaker 1 Tian Young asked quickly. Speaker 2 They were dragged into my conflict with the immortal clans. Thousands of disciples died, and when I couldn't find you, I assumed you were dead. Speaker 1 He paused, then asked. Speaker 2 Where have you been? Why weren't you at the sect? Speaker 1 Elder Son sighed and replied. Speaker 2 I left the sect long before that happened. As for where I went, I returned to my hometown. Speaker 1 Tian Yong narrowed his eyes slightly before asking. Speaker 2 Would that happen to be the Holy Continent? Speaker 1 Her eyes widened with surprise. Speaker 2 How did you know? Speaker 1 Her reaction confirmed Tian Yang's suspicions. Elder Son was undeniably from the Sun family of the Three Pillars of Heaven. Speaker 2 I overheard you speaking with another elder. I forgot her name, but I always see the two of you together. You mean Elder Jing? Speaker 1 Tian Yong nodded and. Speaker 2 If you're from the Holy Continent, do you also belong to the Sun family, one of the three pillars of Heaven? Speaker 1 He continued to ask. Elder Son didn't immediately respond. After a moment of silence, a slight smile tugged on her lips and she spoke. Speaker 2 To find out so much about me, even though I've never told you anything, you must have spent a lot of time investigating me. Do you have a crush on me or something? Don't flatter yourself, Elder Sunday. I merely place pieces of a puzzle together after learning of them by chance. Speaker 1 Elder Son frowned, clearly displeased with his response, and said. Speaker 2 You can stop calling me Elder Sunday. I lost the qualifications when I left the sect. Then what should I call you? Now that I think about it, I don't even know your full name. My name is Roshi Son Roshi, but I forbid you from using my given name. If I cannot call you elder son or use your given name, what am I supposed to call you? Sister. Son. Senior Sister. Speaker 1 Tian Young said with a smile. Speaker 2 Well, you were always more like an elder sister to me than anything. An elder sister. Speaker 1 She sneered. Speaker 2 I thought you no longer wanted anything to do with me. Or have you forgotten about what you said to me when we last met? Speaker 1 Tian Yang's expression stiffened when she brought up his previous outburst that he had already severed their relationship. That's. Tian Yong opened his mouth slightly, only to close it again. After a brief silence, he lowered his body and bowed. Speaker 2 To her, this may sound like an excuse, but I was overwhelmed by emotion back then and wasn't thinking clearly. I regretted not being able to apologize to you ever since. Speaker 1 He paused, then said softly. Speaker 2 I'm sorry. Truly a hymn. Speaker 1 Son. Roshi cleared her throat, covering her mouth with a fist as she tried to hide the faint smile tugging at her lips. Speaker 2 Well, you were young and stupid back then, so I'm willing to forgive you. Speaker 1 Tian Yong raised an eyebrow and asked. Speaker 2 Speaking of age, how old are you exactly? You haven't changed even slightly since I last saw you, and you're even at the True Immortal Realm now. No, you were probably already an immortal back then, and we're merely suppressing your cultivation. It's rude to ask a woman her age. Speaker 1 She said with a faint smile. Speaker 2 But if you're imagining me as some ancient monster, you're mistaken. I'm almost 100 years older than you. At our level, that's hardly worth mentioning. And no, I wasn't suppressing my cultivation back then. What you saw was my real cultivation. So you've managed to reach True Immortal since then? That's quite impressive. Who do you think you're talking to? If a talentless brat like you can reach True Immortal in a few thousand years, why can't I? I am a member of the Three Pillars of Heaven, Pioneers of Cultivation. You know, honestly, besides that they discovered cultivation, I don't know much, if anything, about the Three Pillars of Heaven. In fact, I didn't even know about their existence until recently. There isn't much to know. Speaker 1 She said we're. Speaker 2 No different from other families, just a bit larger and more secluded. That sounds like an understatement. If you're that curious, why don't you come to the Holy Continent and see for yourself? Speaker 1 Son, Roshi suddenly said. Speaker 2 What? Speaker 1 Tian Yong looked at her with a surprised face. Speaker 2 But from what I've been told, the Holy continent is a special place that most cannot enter. That's true, but I can give you permission. Is it really that simple? Speaker 1 She nodded. Speaker 2 Pretty much. I'll think about it after the tournament ends. Speaker 1 Tian Yong then said. Speaker 2 Speaking of the tournament, are you also here to spectate the tournament? Speaker 1 She asked. Speaker 2 Something like that. In fact, I've been living here for the last several thousand years, this place. Speaker 1 Why? She tilted her head slightly with a puzzled look, unable to comprehend his choice. Speaker 2 My best friend is the Giant Emperor and I don't have anywhere else to go. Speaker 1 He said Congratulations, you have finished listening to the current content.
