393: The outside world is vast.

Reuniting after a long separation, while not intimate friends, they weren't entirely estranged.

Wine flowed, cups emptied, and they feasted heartily!

While drinking, the two exchanged few words, only the joy of old acquaintances reuniting.

"Hmph... I've traveled far and wide, and drunk quite a bit of wine, but only this mortal wine gives me a sense of ease. It's spicy like a blade, yet full of human warmth."

"Good wine!"

After a long while, Mo Qi put down his wine cup, a hint of emotion in his voice, his eyes revealing a touch of melancholy, as if things had changed.

This was a man with a story, and a master!

The seemingly carefree and uninhibited Mo Qi appeared to harbor some indelible pain deep within.

If it were anyone else, they would undoubtedly be curious, wanting to know what kind of unresolved matter could trouble a master like Mo Qi.

But Shen Tianxing was not a meddlesome person; if it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to know about the other person's troubles.

Because something that even a powerful Cultivator like Mo Qi couldn't solve was certainly not something he could handle.

Why bother inviting trouble?

"Want to drink? Isn't there always some available? I almost forgot, I once said I'd give you a pot of good wine."

"If you hadn't shown up, I'm afraid I would have drunk it all myself!"

With that, Shen Tianxing took out the good wine he had prepared from his sumeru ring, contained in a wine gourd. Inside, there was a vast space; not to mention enough for Mo Qi to drink for a year, several years would be no problem.

"Oh? You remember clearly. Let me have a taste then."

Mo Qi didn't stand on ceremony, but his gaze towards Shen Tianxing held a hint of surprise.

It had been almost two years, and Shen Tianxing still remembered their two agreements from back then. It wasn't in vain that he had imparted his Way of the Blade insights to him.

At least, Shen Tianxing was a man of his word.

Mo Qi took several deep gulps of wine, feeling utterly refreshed, while Shen Tianxing watched with amusement.

This pot of wine was not simple.

Besides some fine wines unique to Great Qi, there were also rare vintages from other Imperial Dynasties.

And after entering the Sea of Buried Demons, no special reserved wines escaped his grasp; they were all collected into this wine gourd.

Drunken Immortal Brew, Eight-Step Fall, Immortal's Delight, Golden Monkey Wine, and many more, dozens of treasured varieties!

All were rare and exquisite wines!

"You've put thought into this. I didn't misjudge you."

Mo Qi smiled, glanced at him, and then said, "You've already entered the Golden Body Realm and been to the Sea of Buried Demons. Tell me, how does it feel?"

Shen Tianxing wasn't surprised that he immediately knew where he had been, especially a place full of slaughter like the Sea of Buried Demons, which would be even easier for a Cultivator like Mo Qi to discern.

"That's a small place. In fact, Eastern Continent, Western Ridge, Southern Domain, and Northern Wilderness are all just small places!"

"The world outside is vast!"

Shen Tianxing's words were astonishing.

Upon hearing this, Mo Qi couldn't help but look him up and down, his eyes filled with surprise.

Calling the Sea of Buried Demons a small place was one thing; after all, though the Sea of Buried Demons was vast, the area occupied by Cultivators was indeed small, with most of it being the sea!

But were Eastern Continent, Western Ridge, Southern Domain, and Northern Wilderness also just small places?

What arrogance!

If he didn't know that there was always a higher peak, Mo Qi might have spat out his wine and choked this boastful person to death.

What surprised Mo Qi was, could Shen Tianxing's vision really be that high?

Unless Shen Tianxing was not from the Four Great Domains, but from another domain, or he had learned from somewhere that beyond the Four Great Domains, there was an even vaster world!

Only these two possibilities!

"Hahaha..."

After a brief moment of surprise, Mo Qi quickly regained his composure.

Mo Qi laughed heartily, looking at him with interest, and said, "How many places have you been to, that you dare to speak so presumptuously?"

"Do you not even regard the Four Great Domains?"

These words were quite serious!

After all, Shen Tianxing was only seventeen. At such an age, even the Saints of the Immortal Great Sects in those Great Domains might not have traveled through all these places, let alone Shen Tianxing, who came from such a small place.

Mo Qi didn't believe Shen Tianxing could be from another domain; after all, the Nine Great Forbidden Seas were an insurmountable chasm even for him!

So it was very likely that Shen Tianxing had heard something from elsewhere. Mo Qi's words were not without a hint of probing.

"The places I've visited are indeed not many, but that doesn't affect my judgment."

"I will personally visit the Four Great Domains, and one day, I will also go to the places beyond the Four Domains!"

Shen Tianxing's words were ambiguous.

His understanding of what lay beyond the Four Great Domains came entirely from Yaochi!

Yaochi's origins were mysterious. She was very young, yet possessed strength comparable to his, which was unheard of among the Immortal Great Sects in the Four Great Domains to have such a young Golden Body Realm powerhouse.

Secondly, with Yaochi's strength, the power behind her should be very strong, making it almost impossible for no news to leak out at all.

He could obtain this information through his Incarnations infiltrating various major forces, which wasn't very difficult.

Yaochi had also told him that she came from a very distant place, and coupled with her unfamiliarity with the Northern Wilderness in her words and actions, it was clear that the place where Yaochi resided had a level of cultivation far surpassing the Four Great Domains.

These were all Shen Tianxing's own conjectures, and now, through Mo Qi, he gained further understanding.

His conjectures were very likely true!

And Mo Qi at this moment had no idea that while he was probing Shen Tianxing, his words had also provided Shen Tianxing with the answers he sought.

Mo Qi did not continue on this topic, but instead smiled faintly and said, "You are still very young; there's no harm in traveling more."

"This world is wonderful. The higher your cultivation, the further you will see."

This was considered guiding Shen Tianxing.

Although Shen Tianxing's words sounded presumptuous, with Mo Qi's experience, he wouldn't easily make a judgment.

Shen Tianxing was the most unique person he had met in thousands of years!

Young, immensely talented, and with unprecedented progress in cultivation!

This was his greatest asset.

If he could maintain this, he might truly be able to stand at the same height as him in the future.

"I'm leaving. When we meet again, I hope your strength has reached another level!"

Mo Qi slowly stood up, holding the wine gourd Shen Tianxing had given him, ready to depart.

Shen Tianxing also stood up, taking out a jade bottle from his sumeru ring.

"Mr. Mo Qi, you've forgotten our agreement."

He tossed the jade bottle, and Mo Qi caught it.

Within the small jade bottle, there was a world of its own!

Exquisite flower seeds, distinct and vibrant, were nourished by spiritual spring water, full of life.

Mo Qi looked at him again in surprise.

The surprises this young man gave him were truly many.

The rare flower seeds were one of the conditions for exchanging the dragon urge flower back then. He hadn't expected Shen Tianxing to actually remember and collect so many.

"Interesting!"

Mo Qi gave him a deep look, smiled, and then departed on the wind!
