Shadow turned his head to look, frowned and said:
"There are actually some among this group of young people who can break through to the Heaven-level on the spot. They have some talent."
Atius Xiao waved his hand, "What's so interesting about children playing house? In a real life and death fight, state is not the most important thing. You should know this."
"Everyone in the War God Palace has grown up in adversity, so they can defeat the strong with the weak. However, these young people lack some wildness in their bones and can grow up, but they are not suitable for the War God Palace."
Seeing that the Shadow was still looking over there, Atius Xiao said angrily:
"Go and take a look if you want. I'm a big man and I don't need you to accompany me. If it's suitable, you can absorb the Shadow. This is also a good thing for those young people."
Shadow nodded, "Master, I'll go there first."
Atius Xiao waved his hands and walked down the mountain alone.
Wudang Mountain is 10,000 meters high, with 50,000 steps leading directly to the bottom of the mountain.
Atius Xiao was leisurely walking down the stone steps when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow from the corner of his eye.
The black shadow quickly shuttled through the forest and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Atius Xiao frowned slightly. Although the man hid his aura, Atius Xiao could still detect that the figure was a Saint-level Expert.
Sure enough, the Saint-level Expert in Yanlong Kingdom was not as few as it appeared.
Then...is there someone with the same God-level as him who is still hiding from the world?
Atius Xiao took out a milky-white bead from his arms, which was the True Essence Stone obtained in Magpie Bridge Mountain.
This was the first time he had a sense of urgency since he achieved God-level.
Now Atius Xiao already knows that the God-level is just the last stage of the body tempering realm. There may be many old monsters hidden in this world that are far more powerful than himself.
At the foot of the mountain, an old man wearing rags and looking like a beggar was lying on the stone steps, holding a wine gourd in his hand and looking like he was enjoying himself.
Atius Xiao walked past him and suddenly noticed a mysterious energy.
The beggar stretched out his hand to push away the greasy hair that blocked his face, and looked at Atius Xiao with a grin:
"What are you looking at?"
Atius Xiao said nothing, but his brows furrowed deeper.
He could vaguely feel that this beggar-looking old man had an otherworldly aura about him. This feeling was very strange, as if this man had become one with the environment.
Atius Xiao sat down next to him and asked with a smile:
"Can I have a sip of your wine?"
The old beggar raised his brows and said, "My wine is not vulgar. It uses five hundred years of wild ginseng, thousands of years of Ganoderma lucidum, and ten thousand years of snow lotus."
"It's not that I'm stingy, old beggar. If you take a sip, your future destiny will completely change."
Seeing Atius Xiao silence for a moment, the old beggar smiled and took a sip of wine, then shook the wine gourd and said, "Have you thought about it? Do you want to drink it?"
Atius Xiao shook his head, stood up and said:
"Then forget it."
Seeing that Atius Xiao was about to leave, the old beggar quickly got up from the ground, chased Atius Xiao with the wine gourd, and persuaded:
"Take a sip, my wine is so fragrant. Take a sip to ensure you have endless aftertaste."
Atius Xiao smiled helplessly, "What if I take a sip of your wine and you blackmail me and ask me for money?"
The old beggar blew his beard and stared in anger, "Old beggar, do you think I look like someone who is short of money?"
Atius Xiao looked at the old beggar quietly and said nothing.
The old beggar said angrily:
"Drink, drink, I don't need any money from you."
Atius Xiao then took the wine gourd, opened the lid and smelled it, and suddenly felt a fragrance spread through his body along with his breath. An unprecedented sense of comfort came over him, making Atius Xiao feel a little dazed.
Atius Xiao tried to take a sip.
There is a slight coolness in the entrance, sliding down the throat, and a spiciness immediately rises.
In just a moment, Atius Xiao face turned red, his whole body felt hot, and there were dense beads of sweat on his face.
The old beggar looked at the sweat on Atius Xiao face, a flash of shock flashed in his eyes, nodded and said with a smile:
"I've drank this wine too. You should talk to the old beggar more, right?"
Atius Xiao didn't answer, he just stood there like a piece of wood.
The old beggar frowned, thinking that Atius Xiao couldn't bear the strength of the wine.
But the next moment, a mysterious aura emanated from Atius Xiao.
The old beggar finally couldn't hide the shock on his face.
His wine was indeed brewed using dozens of genius treasures, and it could make warriors feel a hint of true energy.
But it was unexpected that Atius Xiao could directly break through the body tempering realm and enter the Qi gathering realm after just taking a small sip!
Atius Xiao was immersed in this mysterious feeling and could not wake up for a long time.
After about half an hour, Xiao Zhan took out a breath, cupped his fists and said to the old beggar:
"Thank you for the wine, senior."
The old beggar snorted coldly and said angrily:
"This is the only bottle of wine in the world. Your sip is enough for me, the old beggar, for half a year."
"Tell me, what do you use to repay this favor?"
Atius Xiao expression suddenly became serious:
"Senior, you obviously gave this wine to me, why should I return it?"
"You!" The old beggar stared, "How can you have the nerve to say such things!"
Atius Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Senior, you specially waited for me here, so don't go around in circles with me. Please speak directly if you have anything to say."
The old beggar sat down on the stone steps again and his expression became serious.
"I am from the Presbyterian Church of Yanlong Kingdom."
Atius Xiao eyes gleamed, and as he thought, there was a more powerful existence hidden in the Yanlong Kingdom.
"Don't be too surprised. There are only five people in the Presbyterian Church. Apart from me, the other four people are in retreat."
Atius Xiao said 'hmm' and waited for the old beggar to finish the rest of his words.
"Times have changed!" the old beggar changed his tone, "Every civilization has its ups and downs."
"When the world's true essence stones were exhausted, the world had to turn to the development of technological civilization."
"But the facts prove that this is wrong!"
A complex emotion flashed in the eyes of the old beggar, "The prosperous times are coming, and troubled times are also coming. There are some things that you should let the leaders of the new generation know."
Atius Xiao frowned slightly, "Senior, before you tell me, do you want to ask me, in case I don't want to know?"
The old beggar nodded, "Then let me continue... This world is far broader than what you see."
"Have you seen the world map?"
"That was just done deliberately to deceive the world."
"The area of this planet is much larger than that."
Atius Xiao face showed a shocked look for the first time.
He didn't expect that the old man in front of him would actually say such unreasonable words.
"I'm not kidding you!" The old beggar looked serious, "The land and oceans marked on the world map are called the marked areas by us, and the places outside the marked areas are called the Lost Lands."
"The Lost Land occupies 99% of the planet's area. The logo area is like a drop of water falling on the Lost Land."
As he spoke, the old beggar pulled out a wrinkled satellite photo from his arms and handed it to Atius Xiao:
"Take a look."
Atius Xiao took the photo and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Because this photo is completely different from the appearance of the planet broadcast on the news!
The entire round planet was almost entirely shrouded in white mist.
The region that the world knows is just a blue spot on this photo.
Atius Xiao's world view changed drastically at this moment!
He knew very well that since this secret was to be hidden from the whole world, there must be a special reason behind it.
Sure enough, the old beggar sighed, with a flash of emotion in his eyes:
"The Lost Land represents endless hope and eternal terror."
"Atius Xiao, I am old, and the future belongs to you young people, so..."
"Senior, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."Atius Xiao stood up and disappeared in a flash.
The old beggar looked back at Atius Xiao who had climbed halfway up the mountain, and suddenly said angrily:
"It's strange that you can run away easily after drinking my wine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old beggar's body gradually disappeared.
It turned out that his speed was so fast that he left a shadow in place.
On the mountainside.
Atius Xiao looked at the old beggar standing in front of him and said with a bitter smile:
"Senior, I have been fighting for five years and finally found a family."
"Now I just want to be with my wife and children with peace of mind!"
The old beggar shook his head expressionlessly, "Atius Xiao, you have no choice."
"The fog is spreading, and one day the sign area will be completely swallowed up. At that time, you will have to watch your loved ones pass away, but you will be unable to save them."
Atius Xiao frowned, "But what can I do? What is it like in the fog?"
