Chapter 1057 Founder of the Celestial Overlord

With a casual wave of his sleeves, Senior Bai refilled the empty landscape with clouds and floating platforms.

He flew to the nearest platform and proceeded to wait for Yuan, who was completely exhausted after unleashing literally all of his strongest attacks on Senior Bai.

Yuan took a seat, but Senior Bai remained standing there for some reason.

”You donʼt have to answer this question if you donʼt want to, nor am I going to force you. Yuan, that technique you used just now— God of Warʼs Astral Arts, where did you learn it?” Senior Bai suddenly asked him.

Yuanʼs eyes widened slightly, as he didnʼt expect Senior Bai to recognize such an ancient technique.

”I encountered it by chance— that is all Iʼm willing to say. Sorry.” Yuan said after a moment of silence.

Senior Bai shook his head, ”Thereʼs no need for you to apologize. I am the one who should apologize since I am the one breaking the unspoken rule of never asking another cultivator about how they acquired their techniques.”

”Now allow me to ask you another question— do you know the origin of that technique?”

”No, I do not.” Yuan lied with a straight face.

As much as he trusts Senior Bai, he believed that the fewer people knew about his past lives the better. After all, there could be enemies out there that he didnʼt know about, and if news of his reincarnation spread, he could potentially be hunted by ancient monsters that have lived for millions of years, especially since one of his past lives was the Evil God.

”The God of Warʼs Astral Arts… It was the Founder of the Celestial Overlordʼs technique.” Senior Bai said with a solemn look on his face.

”Eh?” Yuan raised an eyebrow after hearing this unexpected answer.

ʼFounder of the Celestial Overlord? Unless the God of War also happened to be the Celestial Overlordʼs founder, that shouldnʼt be possible.ʼ

”I have a question. What era did the Celestial Overlordʼs Founder exist in?”

”Around two million years ago.”

ʼ2 million years… The God of War shouldʼve existed in the Primordial Era, so they cannot be the same person. The only explanation for this is— the Founder of the Celestial Overlord is one of my past lives, and Senior Bai believes that he is the original owner of the God of Warʼs Astral Arts when that is not the case.ʼ

Although he had his suspicions that the founder of the Celestial Overlord was one of his past lives because they both had the same physique, there wasnʼt any other proof until now.

”Hm? Two million years ago? Youʼre that old? Amazing…” Yuan realized this and praised him.

”Itʼs only two million years. There are plenty of monsters out there that have lived far longer than I.” Senior Bai shook his head.

”One more question, Senior Bai. Do you know the name of the founder?” Yuan then asked, as he wanted to see if he could remember anything after hearing the name.

However, Senior Bai shook his head and said, ”Unfortunately, I wasnʼt worthy to hear his name. If you want to know his name, you will have to ask Xu Jiaqi. Sheʼs the only member left who knows his name.”

”Is that so… Thank you.”

”If you donʼt have any other questions, I will continue asking mine.”

”Go ahead.” Yuan nodded.

”My next question is related to that golden aura. I have seen similar techniques before, but none of them exuded such a terrifying pressure. Just thinking about it makes my skin crawl. Does it have a name?”

Yuan showed a bittersweet smile and said, ”Iʼm really sorry, but I also have no idea. I donʼt even know how I acquired the technique, but it seems to boost my strength by a tremendous amount.”

”Do you think I can take a closer look at it?” Senior Bai suddenly asked.

”About that… I also donʼt know how to control it. It only appears when it feels like it. It was by pure coincidence that I managed to use it just now as well, probably because I really wanted the soul cultivation technique.”

Senior Bai pondered for a moment before speaking, ”That technique is incredibly profound and powerful. The day you can control it is the day you will control the Nine Heavens— that is what I believe it.”

”Control the Nine Heavens? I donʼt have such ambitions.” Yuan chuckled.

The two of them continued to talk for a little longer before Senior Bai said, ”Anyways, as much as I want to continue chatting with you, itʼs about time I leave. Do you have anything else for me?”

”Actually, I do.” Yuan nodded, and he continued, ”Now that I am a peak Spirit King, my cultivation wonʼt continue until I upgrade my physique, but I still have no idea how to do so. I have tempered my body and even achieved Perfect Physique, but it doesnʼt seem to have any effects on my Heaven Refining Physique. Can you ask Miss Xu if she could help me find more information about my physique? Iʼm sure the upper heavens will have more information than whatʼs available down here.”

Senior Bai nodded, ”I donʼt mind. I am going to see her in a bit, anyway. As for your soul cultivation technique… I will help you find one.”

”Thank you.” Yuan bowed to him before leaving the place and returning to the Myriad of Techniques.

Once Yuan left, Senior Bai looked at his hands that were still trembling from excitement and mumbled, ”He really attacked me with the intention of killing me. If it werenʼt for my cultivation, I wouldʼve been in danger there… No, even with my cultivation, he actually managed to pierce my defenses and land a hit on me.”

Although Yuan had managed to land a hit on Senior Bai, he didnʼt leave any marks, so Senior Bai is technically unharmed.

”With that being said, the fact that he, a mere Spirit King, was able to break through my defense, is a miracle in itself. If people knew that a Spirit King had landed a hit on me, they would try to covet his talent at all cost, and I would become a laughingstock… This is a secret that I must take to the grave…” Senior Bai left the place with a bittersweet smile.
