"You have a way."
Qi Tian was certain that this Qi cultivator definitely had a way to survive this catastrophe: "Just like you all did back then."
"It's different."
The Qi cultivator denied Qi Tian's thought: "Back then, all of us were beyond the Zi Zai realm, yet in the end, only one hundred of us survived."
Everyone surpassed the Zi Zai realm?
Universal Qi cultivation?
He couldn't help but gasp.
"Back then, we had the fragments of the Pangu Axe, and we had Land Immortals, but in the end, nothing remained, everything was over."
Speaking of that memory, the Qi cultivator's voice subconsciously carried a hint of hatred.
His hatred had a target.
Qi Tian noticed a slight fluctuation in his tone, not of self-reproach, but more like self-mockery and hatred.
This meant, what kind of existence had this Qi cultivator faced back then?
What incredibly formidable entity had appeared during this thousand-year catastrophe?
"Who are you hating?"
Qi Tian asked directly.
"You cannot know for now."
The young Qi cultivator's will shook his head: "Perhaps, you won't need to ask me for much longer, and you will naturally know everything."
"Is the great tribulation approaching?"
This was definitely not good news.
"Yes, the last year."
"...Why is there no sign at all?"
Qi Tian thought for a long time. He hadn't seen any signs of a thousand-year tribulation descending.
"There already are."
The Qi cultivator said, "For example, you, and these people in the Northern Frontier you speak of."
"These people, if placed in this era, would all be top-tier geniuses. And you are a genius among geniuses. Your generation has arrived at the Age of Dharma's End. Theoretically, such geniuses shouldn't appear. The spiritual energy isn't even enough for you to use. Yet, not only are you breaking through to higher realms at such a young age, but everyone outside has also reached heights they shouldn't have."
Those people were all because of Lin Xiao, right?
And if he was considered a genius among geniuses, what would Lin Xiao be?
He suddenly looked at the Solar True Gold: "I might know who this thing will recognize as its master."
"Who?"
"The one who gave the Solar True Gold to me."
If this Solar True Gold had its own sentience, it would likely have chosen its master the moment Lin Xiao came into contact with it.
And Lin Xiao should be the so-called person of destiny.
Otherwise, in six years, for him to reach the Zi Zai realm sounded more unbelievable than any legend.
"Oh? Wait a moment, I think I remember."
The Qi cultivator's will fluctuated, and he suddenly recalled: "Is it the person who subdued you?"
"Since you saw him, you should know him. The King of the Northern Frontier, the War God of Longguo, who achieved the Divine Realm in six years, even surpassing a monstrous talent like me." When Qi Tian spoke of Lin Xiao, he sighed. This guy had actually orchestrated a 'seven captures and seven releases' for him, yet never killed him.
"If it's him... in six years, as long as he doesn't encounter any accidents, it's indeed possible for the Solar True Gold to recognize him as its master."
The Qi cultivator seemed to fall into thought: "Based on your description of his cultivation speed, he will inevitably step into the Zi Zai realm this year, and next year, he will need to break through once more."
"This way, you will also have a foundation."
