I'm not quite sure I understand,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>staring at Old Gao in front of him. Although Qi Xiu vaguely guessed the purpose of this old man's sudden visit, he still shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, kid, stop pretending with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ability to use this Hunyuan Palace, aside from people of the Primordial Lineage, no other cultivators can possibly have this means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But logically speaking, in the present world, there should be only one [Primordial Chaos].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the old man is considered the worst among the former [Primordial Chaos].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regardless, I am still alive, there shouldn't be another [Primordial Chaos] appearing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rubbing his coarse hands together, Old Gao thoughtfully looked at Qi Xiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone who shouldn't appear, yet appeared reasonably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that's the case...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must be someone from the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just a few words, Old Gao guessed Qi Xiu's identity, considering how unique the Primordial Lineage is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the Phoenix Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one per generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when the previous one dies does the successor become the true [Primordial Chaos].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So before coming to find Qi Xiu, Old Gao had already suspected that this person with the aura of Primordial Chaos might have crossed the River of Time from the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he hadn't expected,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was that Qi Xiu was not a Primordial Spirit True Honor but a True Monarch of the Dao Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, crossing the River of Time is almost exclusively a method used by Primordial Spirit True Honors, impossible without that realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Qi Xiu neither confirmed nor denied, Old Gao's eyes subtly shifted, indicating that he clearly guessed correctly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A strong sense of caution, fine, if you don't want to say, this old man won't ask more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, I came to see you this time because I want to talk to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flicker in his eyes, Old Gao chuckled, his face creased like the grooves of an orange peel:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must have met Dugu Wuhui.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the name Dugu Wuhui, Qi Xiu's eyes suddenly focused. Seems like my guess was right, this Fourth Generation Chaos indeed came for that item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Gao's accurate mention of Dugu Wuhui's name led Qi Xiu to realize it was pointless to continue hiding, better to openly discuss with this Fourth Generation Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that item he has...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slight change in expression, knowing Qi Xiu had indeed met Dugu Wuhui, Old Gao's face clearly showed some change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just as expected.\" With the confirmation, Old Gao's expression turned complicated, murmuring softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He still doesn't trust me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After muttering a bit, Old Gao looked up at Qi Xiu, showing a serious expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, the reason I came to find you this time is in the hope that you can hand over the item Dugu Wuhui gave you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't be too quick to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know Dugu Wuhui told you when he gave you the item that it was an Exotic Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this thing is also a double-edged sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In your hands, it may not be a blessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could also bring you deadly trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Gao spoke sincerely, his words serious, implying the item handed over by Dugu Wuhui to Qi Xiu was a hot potato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet having gone through countless trials, Qi Xiu, who initially entered the Dao as a fledgling, had grown into a formidable being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn't easily believe anything just because of a few words from Old Gao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calmly watching Old Gao, Qi Xiu neither hastily agreed nor refused, but slowly uttered two words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Proof.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Proof?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Qi Xiu's calm and unmoving face, Old Gao suddenly let out a laugh:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truly a consistent temperament across the lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't have any concrete proof, but if anything counts, it would be this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Old Gao pulled open the collar of his short coat, revealing a terrifying scar running down from his chest, almost splitting him in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging from the smooth edges, this wound must have been inflicted by a blade or sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the scar on Old Gao's chest, Qi Xiu narrowed his eyes, faintly sensing a familiar aura from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This wound...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With my aptitude and comprehension, I originally didn't qualify to inherit the Primordial Lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because of an accident, my nephew was severely injured, on the brink of death, and I was the only one by his side then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus I had to temporarily inherit the mantle of this old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boy, I am not here to take away your treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that item is far more complex than what Dugu Wuhui thinks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's an Exotic Treasure forged with half a lifetime's effort by Wei Ruyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it isn't fully completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's only a half-finished product.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To fully complete it would cost you at least half your lifespan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This point, I'm afraid Dugu Wuhui didn't tell you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Gao's words made Qi Xiu faintly frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is protected by Human Path Merit, and in this Great Tang Dynasty, during the flourishing time of the Human Race, the effectiveness of Human Path Merit is even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he sharply sensed that what the Fourth Generation Chaos said was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if what he said is true, then what about Dugu Wuhui, the protector?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Handing over a half-finished Exotic Treasure to him, is it for him to complete the relic of the Third Generation Primordial?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a lifespan, the price seems too steep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are the future Primordial Chaos, your presence indicates... we have all failed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Qi Xiu, Old Gao's eyes carried a hint of confusion and bewilderment, but he quickly suppressed these emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am old, in my youth, I was so frightened that I became timid, hesitant in every matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Wuhui said I was too cowardly, unfit for significant responsibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>",973,"2026-06-06T02:28:32.617Z",1,"novelbin.me","5d57bbadda33234df49d91aba45344a0a03fb19850c825c462412605804c1990","slaying-demons-starting-with-upgrading-my-callig-chapter-750","slaying-demons-starting-with-upgrading-my-callig-chapter-748",834,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fslaying-demons-starting-with-upgrading-my-callig-cover.jpg"]
