137: Chapter 137 A Dream of Three Hundred Years
Inside the hall, an alarm sounded.
Everyone was stunned.
It was not for any other reason, but because of the content of the alarm.
"How could a Life and Death Realm Martial Artist appear!?"
A woman wearing work clothes covered her mouth in horror.
In the current world, the Xiantian Realm is the limit of what Spiritual Qi can accommodate.
How could someone above the Innate Realm be born!?
For a moment, everyone was completely baffled.
Silence reigned for a long moment.
Everyone's gaze turned toward an old man.
The old man was looking at the warning on the projection with a solemn expression.
After a while, he seemed to notice everyone's gaze.
The old man retracted his gaze, swept his eyes around, and said, "Prepare the flying car; I am going to meet him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately tried to stop him.
"Director, is it really necessary for you to go and meet him!?"
"Yes, we don't even know his specific situation; isn't it too dangerous!?"
The crowd discussed it noisily.
The old man waved his hand, stopping the discussion.
"Returning through a spatial wormhole is extremely difficult, and there are no records of any wormholes opening, so he can only be a local Martial Artist of Blue Star!"
He paused for a moment and then continued, "As for why he is still on Blue Star, we will only be able to confirm that after meeting him!"
"Therefore!"
"I need to go personally!"
After saying this, the old man walked outside.
Several people behind him immediately exchanged glances and followed.
...
The strong wind rises and the clouds fly.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was weak, and most importantly, the temperature of the entire environment was very low.
The biting wind howled.
Ji Yebai kept flying forward.
But as he continued to fly forward, his heart could not stop sinking.
The places that should have been cities in his memory had now become desolate.
He flew over small and medium-sized cities along the way, but there was not a single person in them.
Ji Yebai took a deep breath, but his heart grew heavier and heavier.
Even though he had invincible strength, feeling this strange atmosphere, he could not help but feel a little flustered.
But fortunately, this panic did not last long.
At the edge of his Divine Sense, a large city appeared.
The most important thing was that there were people.
Ji Yebai raised his head, his eyes lit up, and he shot into the sky like a rocket.
Just as Ji Yebai changed direction.
In the sky in the distance, a flying car also changed course accordingly.
...
Large city.
Ji Yebai stood in the Void Realm, stopping above the city.
Below was a square.
At this moment, small groups of people were appearing.
They were truly just small groups.
There were very few people.
Ji Yebai looked around; this large city was a concrete jungle.
It should have been able to house at least five million people.
But in his Divine Sense perception.
The edges of the city had been abandoned, with many buildings desolate or even collapsed, completely uninhabitable.
Only the city center was a normal living environment.
And what made Ji Yebai feel somewhat turbulent was that this city only had a little over a hundred thousand people.
That's right.
Just over a hundred thousand people.
Very few people.
This left Ji Yebai stunned.
Along the way, no-man's-land occupied the majority, and yet a large city actually had only a little over a hundred thousand people.
Ji Yebai stared blankly below.
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.
At this moment, the motionless Ji Yebai slightly raised his eyes.
His gaze looked forward.
"Finally here!"
Ji Yebai's eyes flickered.
After he woke up, he had sensed something monitoring him.
And after arriving in this city, he even sensed some people coming towards him.
Therefore, he stood still; on one hand, he was thinking, and on the other, he was waiting for these people.
Swish!
In an instant, a flying car stopped steadily in front of Ji Yebai.
Its sleek, sci-fi appearance made Ji Yebai feel surprised.
However, this also made him feel relieved.
At least technology had progressed.
"This gentleman, how about we go somewhere and talk!?"
An aged voice sounded.
Ji Yebai raised his head slightly, his gaze passing through the car window to look inside.
He nodded and descended first.
He landed directly on the top of a tall building.
The flying car also landed steadily.
Ji Yebai couldn't help but marvel at the sight.
An old man opened the car door directly and walked out.
He walked quickly to Ji Yebai: "This gentleman, I am the Director of the Blue Star Logistics Security Bureau. May I ask how to address you!?"
"Ji Yebai!"
The old man thought for a moment, but had no impression, and instead asked, "Mr. Ji, may I ask where you come from!?"
Ji Yebai frowned slightly, not quite understanding the old man's meaning.
But after thinking about it, he said, "I was previously in secluded cultivation at Tianshan, and I just came out..."
The old man was dumbfounded.
Secluded cultivation!?
Impossible!
"Mr. Ji, you say you were fasting at Tianshan!?"
The old man looked at Ji Yebai's expression and asked hesitantly.
Ji Yebai nodded.
"We use life detectors to scan the globe every month. If you were in secluded cultivation, we should have been able to detect you!"
"What do you mean?"
Ji Yebai frowned and looked at the old man.
The old man looked at Ji Yebai's expression; he didn't seem to be lying.
He secretly glanced at the clothes on Ji Yebai.
A trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
The style was a bit retro!
The old man thought for a moment and asked directly: "Ji Yebai, may I ask in which year you started your secluded cultivation!?"
Ji Yebai said softly: "The eighth year of the Spiritual Qi recovery!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
The old man was completely stunned.
The eighth year!?
How is this possible!?
Even though the old man had guessed that the Ji Yebai in front of him had been in secluded cultivation for many years, he hadn't expected it to be the eighth year of the Spiritual Qi recovery!
The eighth year!
That was the eighth year!
The old man's expression was dazed, his face uncertain, filled with incredible disbelief.
He didn't even bother to pursue why they couldn't detect Ji Yebai; instead, he was frightened by the passage of time.
After a long while, the old man suppressed his uneasy heart.
Looking at Ji Yebai with slight hesitation, he said: "Mr. Ji, do you know what year it is now!?"
Ji Yebai shook his head.
"This year is the three hundred and twenty-eighth year!"
The old man said cautiously.
As soon as these words were out, he saw Ji Yebai standing motionless.
"Mr. Ji!? Mr. Ji..."
The old man called out cautiously.
But he found that the Ji Yebai in front of him had no reaction at all.
His eyes were dazed, as if they had become hollow.
On top of the high-rise building, with the scorching sun overhead, the light cast his shadow diagonally on the ground.
Ji Yebai's heart was already surging with monstrous waves.
He knew he must have been in secluded cultivation for quite some time.
But he didn't expect that it would actually take three hundred and twenty years.
Three hundred and twenty years!
Before the Spiritual Qi recovery, it would have been enough to outlive several generations; in ancient times, it could even outlive an entire dynasty.
Such a long time had just slipped away!?
Ji Yebai was completely thrown off.
"Mr. Ji... Mr. Ji..."
The old man called out in a low voice.
He was already over eighty years old.
Logically speaking, he was the older one.
But at this moment, knowing that Ji Yebai was someone who had started secluded cultivation in the eighth year of the Spiritual Qi recovery.
His status was instantly reversed, and he had become the junior instead.
Just like that, he called out for a while.
Under the old man's inquisitive gaze, Ji Yebai raised his head.
His face was devoid of sorrow or joy, his gaze focused.
"Tell me about what has happened in the past!"
Ji Yebai's voice rang out faintly.
The old man looked at him, nodded, and began to recount the history of the past three hundred years.
