Slowly, she opened her eyes.
A picturesque mountain world came into view. The black-haired woman's expression was cold, and her eyes seemed to reflect the entire starry sky. They were filled with tranquility, clarity, and no impurities.
The white pillar of light slowly disappeared, and the black-haired woman descended from the sky and landed in the air above the cave. She looked up at the distant sky with a thoughtful expression.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, a few figures rushed out of the cave. They were six old men of different sizes and heights. After these six people walked out, a middle-aged man walked out of the cave. His face was pale, his eyebrows were sharp like blades, his nose was high, his lips were thin, and his pale white eyes were filled with coldness and a bit gloominess.
On his chest was embroidered a blazing sun. Most people in the upper echelons knew that this was the Bai family's patriarch's medal.
"Jun 'er …" The middle-aged man called out softly. His voice was filled with infinite love and a trace of fatigue, as well as some pain.
The black-haired woman came back to her senses and floated down. Her cold expression revealed a tranquil smile as she said, "Father, don't worry. Life and death are fated and cannot be forced. Since ancient times, countless civilizations have risen and fallen, but no one has found a cure for this virus. In the early days of civilization, the Shennong Great Emperor tried the 108 most poisonous herbs in the ancient world, but he could not find an antidote. You are already going against the heavens by expending your energy to extend Jun 'er's life by ten years!
Jun 'er is already very satisfied. "
The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with grief. He reached out to stroke the black-haired woman's hair and sighed softly. He looked up at the sky and did not speak for a long time. After a long time, he clenched his fists. His eyes were filled with fighting spirit and unwillingness as he said hoarsely, "When your mother was about to die, I fought with the heavens for her life and injured the heavens. However, I still could not restore her soul that had disappeared. Even if I extracted millions of souls from the Gate of Reincarnation and pieced together your mother's soul again, things have changed."
"Now, you are leaving again …"
"I have killed countless enemies in my life, and my name has spread far and wide. I have broken through the Gate of Reincarnation, fought against the Heavenly Dao, and decided the life and death of millions with a wave of my hand. Who would have thought that in the end, I would not even be able to save the lives of my wife and daughter!"
"I have worked hard all my life, and in the end, what have I cultivated!!!"
His voice was filled with boundless sorrow, as well as intense unwillingness and anger. He stared at the sky as if he wanted to see through it.
The black-haired woman was silent. She looked back at the gray sky in the distance and quietly clenched her fingers. She whispered in her heart, "Do you still remember the five-year agreement …?"
…
As time passed, the mountains of White Spirit Mountain became more and more lively, breaking the tranquility of the past. Many of the disciples of the Bai Family who were cultivating on White Spirit Mountain were privately discussing the important figures they had met this time.
"Have you heard?
The Gate of Reincarnation's Purple Blood is here. It's said that this monster once fought bare-handed and killed a Deity expert! "
"I heard about it too. It's said that he didn't use any weapons and relied solely on his own strength. As for that Godly Spirit expert, he wasn't weak either. He used the Laws and a secret manual, but he was still defeated in the end. How terrifying!"
"The Sixth Prince of the Ice Snow Empire is here too. This monster once killed a mature Nine-Lion Dragon in the Northern Underworld Sea. It's extremely terrifying!"
"The Fourth Prince of the Darkness Empire is here too. In addition, the Eighth Prince of the Golden Light Empire, the Second Prince of the Yanshen Empire, and the Seventh Prince of the Black Rock Empire are all here."
"Tsk tsk, almost everyone from the Ten Great Palaces is here. I wonder what kind of battle will happen this time!"
"Of course, what kind of person is the Third Miss? She is a national beauty. To be able to see her peerless face is already a blessing of three lifetimes. Moreover, our Third Miss's talent is astonishing. Ordinary mediocre people are not worthy of her."
When these disciples of the Bai Family mentioned the Third Miss, their expressions were full of reverence and indescribable devotion.
Time was tight. After about a day, all the bells on the main peak of the Bai Ling Mountain rang. Many figures streaked across the sky and gathered at the peak of the main peak.
At the top of the main peak were eight battle platforms, each of which was surrounded by metal railings. There were also VIP seats for the guests, and the surrounding area was packed with people. Only the inner disciples of the Bai Clan were allowed to watch the battle live, and all of them had secret manuals with amplitudes of over a million. The rest of the people could only watch from the screens on the other mountain peaks.
At this moment, there were many figures sitting in the VIP seats. There were men and women, old and young. They came from various great civilizations. It was rare to see them on a normal day. The aura on each of them was not below that of Elder Han at the mountain gate.
These inner disciples of the Bai Clan were usually very knowledgeable. They had seen many Emperor God level experts before. Hence, they were not too surprised. However, when they saw these people, the crowd still gasped.
"That's the South Sea Divine Buddha!
Eh, who's that delicate and pretty little girl behind him? "
"Look, that's the Snow Mountain Saint of the Ice Snow Empire. Heavens, he's here too."
"That's the Black Demon Man of the Darkness Empire. Legend has it that he killed two experts in the Black Sea!"
The crowd exclaimed. With these people's experience and insight, they would not have such an expression when looking at ordinary Emperor Gods. At this moment, when they saw the people in the VIP seats, they were deeply shocked.
In the VIP seats, there were at least twenty to thirty people. Usually, Emperor God experts were elusive. It was extremely rare to see one of them. The current lineup immediately caused the entire place to be filled with a sense of oppression. It was as though the air was suffocating.
The entire place was boiling. The atmosphere was heated.
At this moment, a vortex slowly opened in the sky. A stalwart middle-aged man walked out. It was the Bai Family's Patriarch. He stood in the sky and looked down at the crowd. His expression did not change much. He said indifferently, "Everyone has traveled thousands of miles to be my guests. I hope you can get used to living here."
The figures in the VIP seats cupped their hands.
"Patriarch Bai is too polite."
"Patriarch Bai, you don't have to care about us."
"This Bai Ling Mountain is really beautiful. It's a good place!"
The experts said politely.
Bai Tian nodded slightly. "That's for the best."
He turned around and returned to the main seat. He looked down at the crowd. Facing the many Emperor Gods, he was not afraid at all. His expression did not change much.
"Patriarch Bai!"
A black-robed young man walked out from the contestants' seats. Under everyone's gaze, he walked to the center of the battlefield with a smile on his face. He flipped his slender hand and an exquisite brocade box appeared. It was about the size of a palm and emitted a faint light.
"This is a Dragon Joy Pill refined by Master Tie Xin of the Fire Civilization. It can strengthen the genes of the human body and cause the genes to be stained with Dragon Qi. Consuming one pill can strengthen the genes of the human body by 50 times. Uncle, please accept it!" The black-robed young man said respectfully.
Bai Tian's expression did not change much. A middle-aged man standing beside him quickly walked up and took the brocade box from the black-robed young man's hand. He placed it on the table beside him.
The black-robed young man's heart trembled. He frowned. He knew that the gift he gave did not reach Bai Tian's bottom line. He did not even look at it.
His heart sank slightly and he slowly stepped back.
After he left, a white-robed young man walked up. He stood in the open space and looked at Bai Tian with a smile. He flipped his hand and a black and white mirror appeared. It was emitting a faint light. Under the light, there were traces of black marks in the void.
He said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "This is the Universe Mirror, a pinnacle domain-level divine weapon. It can mobilize Yin and Yang. It was forged from the North Continent's hundred-million-year-old Dragon Crystal and the Southern Sea's Broken Star Stone. Its power is unparalleled. I hope Uncle can accept it!"
Bai Tian glanced at it and nodded slightly.
The white-robed young man was delighted. He handed the Universe Mirror to the middle-aged man who came to greet him and then respectfully left.
Immediately after, a third man walked up. This was a young man in a purple robe. He was tall and slender, and he looked at the sky with a smile on his face. He waved his hand, and a vortex appeared. From inside, a flower pot flew out. This flower pot had a small tree planted on it. This small tree was completely black, and it only had a few black leaves. It looked very ordinary.
However, as soon as the flower pot appeared, it attracted the attention of most of the people present.
"This is the Tree of Life from the Elf Civilization. It is said that there are only nine Trees of Life in the entire ancient world. This is a seedling and is extremely difficult to find. A leaf on it can increase a person's lifespan by a million years. If it is a mature Tree of Life, a leaf can increase a person's lifespan by a hundred million years."
"This seedling is the Tree of Life. Its trunk is a good material to make a pinnacle divine weapon. It can be carried by one's side all year round. It can prolong one's lifespan and expel evil and poison. It can be eaten and used. I hope Uncle can accept it!
“
Bai Tian looked over and stared at the Tree of Life for a while. As if he thought of something, he frowned slightly and waved his hand.
The middle-aged man hurriedly went up to greet him. He took the Tree of Life and placed it on the table next to him.
In the silence, the fourth young man smiled and walked gracefully to Bai Tian …
In an instant, the many disciples of the Bai Family who were watching from afar were dazzled. They saw peerless treasures being handed over by these people one after another. For example, the Eight Treasure Pagoda, Tree of Wisdom, Sen Luo Pellet, Wan Xiang Atlas, and so on were all treasures that had never been seen before.
At this moment, these treasures were placed on the gift table like ordinary items. If it wasn't for the fact that Bai Tian and the twenty to thirty God Emperor experts were present, there would probably be people who would recklessly rush over to snatch them no matter how great the risk was.
"Uncle!"
Suddenly, a white-clothed youth stepped out from the crowd. He had a slender figure and was handsome and dashing. His fair skin revealed a sparkling and translucent light, as if every inch of his skin contained divine light. Behind his head was a faintly discernible halo of wisdom. The white robe he wore was plain and simple, yet it carried an otherworldly temperament. He had a smile on his face and a peaceful expression. In his fingers was a string of Buddhist beads. Every bead was sparkling and translucent, bright green, and emitted a faint majestic light.
…
Today, I will make up for the missing chapter from yesterday. I have a high fever for the past two days. My body temperature has been fluctuating around 38.5 degrees.
I won't forget the foreshadowing and the big pit in the darkness. Brother, don't worry. Although the new book is about to be released, the later part of the darkness will still be completed.
