550 Departure (1)

With a thought, Lin Bei opened a spatial passageway and returned to the real world.

At the place where he disappeared previously, Ji Xuanyuan and Mengli were waiting anxiously. When they saw Lin Bei appear, they hurriedly welcomed him.

“Kid, where have you been? Why are you only back now? We’ve been waiting for you for more than half an hour!”

Ji Xuanyuan frowned slightly and sounded dissatisfied.

“What’s the hurry? Brother Ji, you’ve been here for many years. Don’t you miss this place at all?”

Lin Bei shrugged and said helplessly.

“Miss my ass. After staying here for thousands of years, my strength has been improving slowly. If not for that, I would have long reached the Original Realm!”

Ji Xuanyuan curled his lips.

When Mengli heard that, she snorted and said coolly, “Don’t find excuses for yourself. Aren’t you just afraid that your junior will catch up to you? This isn’t anything shameful! If he really catches up to you, it will prove that your decision back then was right.”

“It’s precisely because you made the right choice back then and opened the virtual universe space of Ocean Blue Planet that he could reach this step.”

“Why don’t you let him cultivate by himself? Not to mention the Saint Realm, it’s difficult for him to even step into the Extraordinary Realm. Don’t you think so?”

Mengli spoke frankly and confidently, making Ji Xuanyuan feel much more comforted.

That’s right, what she said made sense!

If not for me guarding here for thousands of years and giving Mengli the time and energy to open the virtual universe space for Ocean Blue Planet, how could this kid become the hero of this age? How could he improve to such a realm in just a short period of time?

It’s all thanks to me!

That’s right, that was it!

Ji Xuanyuan thought to himself and a smile appeared on his face. He took a step forward and held Lin Bei’s hand. He said earnestly, “The younger generation will surpass us!”

When Lin Bei heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

What the heck was this!

But on second thought, what Mengli said was not unreasonable. He was indeed able to rise rapidly with the help of the Second World. In that case, it was also thanks to Ji Xuanyuan.

“Thank you for your nurturing, Brother Ji!”

Lin Bei said respectfully. Since Ji Xuanyuan cared so much about his face, he would praise him. Perhaps the man would be in a good mood and teach him the last Breathing Technique he had mastered?

“Haha, not bad, not bad!”

However, reality proved that Lin Bei was overthinking. This last Breathing Technique was Ji Xuanyuan’s trump card. How could he give it away for no reason?

He was not a fool!

Seeing this, Lin Bei was not in a hurry. When you beg me one day, will I still be worried that I won’t be able to trick you?

What a joke!

“By the way, what I asked you to do…”

“Mengli and I have been searching around for the past few days. The result is not bad. We found quite a number of ancient items. Calculating… it’s about dozens of tons. Oh right, what do you want these for?”

Ji Xuanyuan looked at Lin Bei in confusion.

Could it be that Lin Bei was a collector?

But it didn’t look like it.

Naturally, Lin Bei would not tell him the truth. He said directly, “I’ve learned a lot of Ancient Martial Breathing Techniques. I asked Brother Ji to bring these back because I wanted to see if I could comprehend a thing or two from these ancient items. If I can find a trace of the aura of ancient martial arts power, I’ll think of a way to absorb and refine it. Perhaps I can master an ancient martial arts power!”

Ji Xuanyuan raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, “Will this work? It’s not too good, right?”

However, on second thought, it might really work.

It was like a huge wave washing away sand. As long as there were more of them, after a long time, this kid might really comprehend a thing or two.

But the problem was… he had invested too much energy.

“Aren’t you tired of doing this?”

“It’s fine. I can summon more than a thousand clones. It’s relatively easy to do it together.”

Lin Bei explained with a smile.

Ji Xuanyuan nodded in realization.

That made sense. This kid summoned clones as if they were free. Ordinary people really could not compare.

This was not an ordinary clone, but an Origin Soul Avatar. Even if it was him, it would be enough for him to suffer.

This kid… Well, he was a little monstrous!

There are more than a thousand Origin Avatars. If I could do all of this, with more than a thousand Avatars erupting with Vitality Power at the same time, the scene… I could even fight an Original Realm cultivator.

Ji Xuanyuan’s eyes flashed with envy.

Lin Bei, this junior, was too amazing.

Although he did not say it, he was envious of this kid from the bottom of his heart. The kid’s talent was unparalleled and his opportunities were shocking. In comparison, he, as a senior, was a little miserable.

“Alright, stop wasting time. It’s time for us to set off. By the way, we agreed previously that we would use the Breathing Technique to exchange for a clone of yours to guard this place. You won’t go back on your word, right?”

Mengli looked at Lin Bei.

Lin Bei waved his hand when he heard this. The clone he had left here immediately flew up towards the command center floating in the sky.

“Alright, we can set off now.”

Lin Bei said, “As for those ancient items, give them to me first. I’ll comprehend them on the way. Perhaps I can really detect some ancient martial aura and let me comprehend the power of ancient martial arts.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Xuanyuan nodded and took out a storage ring. He threw it to Lin Bei and said, “About 100 tons. These are all that we found in three days. Some of them were bought from the neighboring galactic alliances. We spent a lot of effort.”

When Lin Bei heard this, he smiled and nodded. “Thank you, Brother Ji! I’ll remember this favor! If I really gain something, I won’t forget you when I have the Original Dust in the future!”
