Chapter 22 The Conversation

Mu Changqing stared at the old Taoist for a moment before speaking.

"If that's the case, then can you calculate if I will die?"

The old Taoist was slightly stunned and actually pretended to tell fortunes.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and said with a smile.

"No."

"Then what about you, will you die?"

As he spoke, Mu Changqing's aura surged, and the space around them became chaotic, entering the river of time.

The old Taoist was momentarily taken aback and fawned, "Burial Emperor, don't mess around, it was just a joke, no need to get serious."

The old Taoist's current body, like the cold young woman and the green lotus woman, were all external incarnations used to travel across all realms.

He didn't want his incarnation, which had just arrived in all realms, to be shattered by Mu Changqing.

"Old man, if you can't give me a satisfactory explanation today, I'm afraid your incarnation won't be able to leave safely."

Mu Changqing wasn't in a hurry. He slowly paced on the river of time, looking at the lewd old Taoist with interest.

The old Taoist smiled fawningly again, feeling uncomfortable under Mu Changqing's gaze.

He got up, patted his faded robes, and moved away.

"Burial Emperor, I'm different from them. I think you're a good person, a friend, and we can get along. Let's be friends, why fight all the time? Haven't you killed enough in the Emperor's Fall era?"

Mentioning the Emperor's Fall era, a hint of fear flashed in the old Taoist's eyes.

Even primordial beings dared not fight against the Heavenly Dao, challenging it and disregarding it.

Yet Mu Changqing, a postnatal being, had done it, not only succeeding but even severely injuring the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, even primordial beings, unless absolutely necessary, were unwilling to provoke Mu Changqing.

Hearing this, Mu Changqing couldn't help but chuckle.

He sighed softly.

"Old man, you're the first one who wants to be friends with me. Not bad, you suit my taste."

As he spoke, the surrounding view changed, and they returned to the starship.

"Let's go, let's eat and talk. I find the food in the heavens quite good. You postnatal beings really know how to enjoy yourselves."

Seeing this, the old Taoist smiled, packed up his stall, and gestured for Mu Changqing to follow.

Mu Changqing was not polite. He followed behind and said, "Old man, I don't have any spirit stones, you're treating."

"Tsk tsk tsk, the dignified Burial Emperor, saying such things, interesting, very interesting, hahahaha."

The two chatted and laughed like old friends who had known each other for a long time. What they were thinking was unknown.

They arrived at a private room in a restaurant. Mu Changqing was not polite and ordered a table full of spirit beast meat, spirit wine, and even star beast meat.

The old Taoist looked at Mu Changqing's extravagant manner, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.

A look of heartache flashed across his face. After all, he hadn't been in the myriad realms for long.

He naturally didn't have many spirit stones on him, provided he didn't resort to supreme means to oppress the weak.

As a primordial being, he naturally disdained such actions.

"Ahem, that's enough, it's enough to eat."

The old Taoist helplessly advised.

Mu Changqing saw the old Taoist's predicament and signaled the waiter to leave, preparing the food.

"A dignified primordial being, yet worried about spirit stones, how interesting."

Mu Changqing said with a faint smile, teasing him.

"Alas, since I've chosen to enter the mortal world, I can't bully the weak. I'm a principled person."

The old Taoist fawned and explained.

Afterward, the two ate heartily, neither of them holding back.

For beings at this level, worldly attachments had long lost their meaning.

After eating, Mu Changqing wiped his mouth and swirled his wine glass, asking, "Old man, tell me about your origin and background. You know who I am, but I don't know who you are. It's not fair."

The old Taoist unceremoniously wiped the corners of his mouth with his faded sleeve, putting on a profound expression.

"Why do you need to know my background? I've entered the mortal world and forgotten my past. It's not important, not important."

The old Taoist clearly was unwilling to reveal his background.

"Is that so? Then why did you enter the mortal world? Other primordial beings seem to have chosen the same path as you. What are you trying to do?"

"Uh, didn't you already guess it?"

The old Taoist was momentarily speechless, then fawningly said.

Mu Changqing nodded slightly. He naturally had a general idea of why these primordial beings had entered the mortal world.

To choose spokespersons for destiny!

However, he didn't know the specific plans.

Although this old Taoist seemed easy to talk to, he was also a man of deep schemes. Primordial beings were never simple.

Mu Changqing tapped his fingers lightly on the table, pondered for a moment, and asked with a faint smile.

"Old man, can you tell me who that green lotus woman and the other bare-footed woman are?"

"Oh dear, I can't say, I can't say. I don't want to get involved in your disputes. These guys are all crazy. I don't want to get entangled with them."

Hearing this, the old Taoist waved his hands repeatedly, refusing to answer.

"What, you fear them?"

"Hmph, how is that possible? I just find it troublesome. As for fearing? There are few people in this world that I fear, except for you, of course."

As he spoke, the old Taoist subtly flattered Mu Changqing.

After a pause, the old Taoist spoke seriously again.

"Burial Emperor, although you are powerful, even in all past, present, and future, you are the only postnatal being to escape the chessboard, some beings are truly terrifying. You should be more careful and not act so recklessly. You've already offended two difficult characters, don't offend them all."

Mu Changqing's purple eyes flickered. From the old Taoist's words, he could guess that there were many primordial beings hidden behind this.

The myriad realms could be said to be a chessboard, and these primordial beings were the players.

In the battle of the Emperor's Fall, he jumped out of the chessboard, transcended his restraints, and became a variable.

He also became one of the players.

"Alright, old man, it seems you're unwilling to tell me anything about the primordial beings."

The old Taoist fawned, and could only choose to remain silent.

At the same time, he felt a little uneasy. After all, he had finally managed to send an external incarnation to the myriad realms.

If Mu Changqing was displeased and erased his incarnation, it would be quite troublesome.

Mu Changqing didn't mind. If the old Taoist was unwilling to say, he couldn't do anything about it.

"Let's change the question. Do you know where the ancient land of reincarnation is?"

Mu Changqing had always been curious about what conspiracy was hidden behind reincarnation.

The old Taoist organized his words for a moment, hesitating as if unwilling to say more.

"If you can't give me a satisfactory answer today, I will erase this incarnation of yours."

Mu Changqing's smile remained unchanged, and he said indifferently.

The old Taoist showed a look of helplessness, waved his hand to isolate this space, and sighed.

"Burial Emperor, it's only because I'm easy to talk to. Fine, I'll tell you."

"Even I don't know the exact location of the ancient land of reincarnation."

"This is something created by the one above. With him present, it's impossible to detect."

"However, the ancient land of reincarnation should have existed before the Emperor's Fall and has been continuously perfected. After the Emperor's Fall era, the ancient land of reincarnation was perfected and opened the reincarnation of all realms."

"As for that one's purpose... I don't know either. It's all about schemes, very complicated."
