Chapter 308: White Dragon

Lin Jiufeng’s question stunned the people in the village.

“Descendant of the G.o.d Race. I haven’t heard of this name in a long time.” The old man was in a daze for a while before he said with emotion.

“How did you guys become like this?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

“Please have a cup of tea and rest your feet. There aren’t many people here. We are the descendants of the G.o.d Race, but the number of people here has decreased over the years.” The old man invited Lin Jiufeng and Miss Hong to his home for a chat.

Lin Jiufeng nodded. He had nothing to be afraid of. Among these people, there was really no one who was particularly powerful. Their cultivation bases were generally low.

Being the descendants of the G.o.d Race, yet their cultivation base was very low. Something must have happened.

Lin Jiufeng and Miss Hong followed the old man to his bamboo house.

This was a village built at the foot of the mountain. It was filled with bamboo houses scattered everywhere, forming a poetic and picturesque scene with the mountain behind it.

Green mountain, bamboo houses, the setting sun, and smoke.

When these were combined, it created a painting in this Small World.

On the way, Lin Jiufeng asked the old man, “Are there only so few people here?”

Along the way, Lin Jiufeng saw some people working in the fields and some others fis.h.i.+ng leisurely, drinking tea, and chatting.

The feeling everyone gave Lin Jiufeng was that they were living a very leisurely and slow life.

These people also looked at Lin Jiufeng and Miss Hong with curious expressions, but no one came forward and they instead let the old man bring Lin Jiufeng to the village.

In the bamboo house, the old man brought tea for Lin Jiufeng. He said with a smile, “This tea was grown by themselves. The taste should be different from what you people drink outside. The breed of this tea tree was pa.s.sed down more than 20,000 years ago. It can be considered an ancient tea.”

Miss Hong picked up her teacup and said in surprise, “The tea tree has been here for more than 20,000 years? You guys preserved it so well?”

Lin Jiufeng took a sip of the tea. A refres.h.i.+ng fragrance lingered between his lips and teeth, making him feel comfortable all over. He said happily, “It’s indeed good tea.”

The old man laughed and said rather proudly, “All these years, the only thing I’m proud of is this tea tree. It’s perfectly preserved and even more outstanding than 20,000 years ago.”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Jiufeng and Miss Hong looked at the old man in a daze.

But the old man didn’t notice it. He continued, “When you guys drink this tea, you won’t feel anything at first. But at night, when you meditate and cultivate, you will feel that your entire body is bright, the Great Dao is in front of your eyes, the world is so clear, and the flow of everything is so interesting.”

“This is a tea tree grown from the branch of the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree, the Small Dao Comprehension Tea Tree!” The old man introduced proudly.

Lin Jiufeng’s heart trembled. This tea tree was grown from the branch of the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree?

Miss Hong’s wrist trembled, almost jumping up in fright. She hurriedly picked up the teacup with both hands and looked at the tea leaves floating in the tea. She was extremely shocked.

“Elder, how old are you this year?” Lin Jiufeng took a deep breath to calm himself down before asking softly.

“Me?”

“About… more than 20,000 years old. I haven’t counted in detail, but I must be more than 20,000 years old. I remember that when I was young, the Immortal Court was still around.” The old man recalled.

Lin Jiufeng looked at the old man. With a stomach full of questions, he asked, “Old Sir, your cultivation base is only at the Five Decays Realm. How did you extend your life for so many years?”

Miss Hong nodded too. “Even if you are an immortal, you can only live for 10,000 to less than 20,000 years. You have lived for more than 20,000 years, and you are still so energetic and healthy?”

The old man looked at Lin Jiufeng and Miss Hong. He laughed out loud and said, “Is what can be seen with the naked eye definitely real?”

“I look like I’m at the Five Decays Realm now, but is my cultivation base really only at the Five Decays Realm?” The old man asked Miss Hong.

“Then, what exactly is your cultivation base?” Miss Hong asked curiously.

“The Five Decays of the Celestial Being Realm,” The old man pointed at himself and said.

“Didn’t you sense it yourself?”

Miss Hong: “…”

Lin Jiufeng couldn’t help but laugh. He looked at the old man and asked, “Senior, how should I address you?”

“White Dragon!” The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile.

“Senior White Dragon, how many descendants of the G.o.ds are there here?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

“Not many. More than 90 people, less than 100,” White Dragon said.

“Senior…” Miss Hong wanted to ask more, but she was interrupted by White Dragon.

“You guys asked me a few questions, now it’s my turn to ask you guys, right?” White Dragon chuckled.

“Go ahead.” Lin Jiufeng nodded. It was naturally right for him to answer any questions White Dragon had.

“Who are you people? What’s the situation in the outside world? Tell me honestly.” White Dragon asked solemnly.

Lin Jiufeng looked at Miss Hong. Then, he honestly told White Dragon about his origins, Miss Hong’s origins, and the situation of the outside world.

There was nothing to hide.

White Dragon listened silently. He drank his tea and pondered.

After a long time, Lin Jiufeng explained his situation clearly. The sky outside had already darkened.

He finished the last bit of tea and let out a long breath.

White Dragon basically understood the situation of the outside world now.

He had been observing Lin Jiufeng all this time and didn’t discover that Lin Jiufeng was lying to him. He was confident in his judgment.

Although he was at the Five Decays Realm, it was unknown where he got the confidence in being able to confirm if Lin Jiufeng’s words were true or false.

“The sky has already darkened. I’ll go prepare dinner for you guys and treat you guys to some special food of the G.o.d Race. There’s nothing like it in the outside world.” White Dragon looked at the sky and stood up to say. With that said, he walked into the back kitchen and got busy.

Miss Hong reached out and tapped Lin Jiufeng’s waist. She said in a low voice, “You’ve been talking all afternoon, but we didn’t find any useful information.”

Lin Jiufeng smiled and said, “We are guests, outsiders. If we want him to tell the truth, we have to tell the truth first. Don’t be anxious. He has already treated us to the tea leaves of the Small Dao Comprehension Tea Tree. Are you still afraid that he won’t tell us?”

“If I treat others sincerely, they will definitely treat me sincerely too,” Lin Jiufeng said confidently.

White Dragon wasn’t a despicable person. Lin Jiufeng trusted his eyes.

Moreover, since they needed his help, they had to show their sincerity.

Lin Jiufeng had told him everything that White Dragon wanted to know. Then, White Dragon would definitely tell him everything that Lin Jiufeng wanted to know in return.

“The blind confidence of men.” Miss Hong supported her chin with her hand and mumbled.

Lin Jiufeng didn’t continue to answer. Instead, he looked in front of him silently.

A line of words appeared.

[Entered the Third World (incomplete)? Do you wish to Sign in?]

Lin Jiufeng was staring at the word (incomplete).

‘This Third World is incomplete?’ Lin Jiufeng muttered in his heart.

He didn’t expect that instead of being able to sign in immediately after entering, the sign-in only came after he stayed for a whole afternoon and night fell.

But he had no right to refuse.

“Sign in!”

[Sign-In successful. Received the Friends.h.i.+p Badge of the G.o.d Race!]

When Lin Jiufeng saw this notification, he immediately remembered his t.i.tle of [Real Man].

They should be of the same type.

‘What is this Friends.h.i.+p Badge?’ Lin Jiufeng searched for information.

[The Friends.h.i.+p Badge of the G.o.d Race. After wearing it, one will naturally receive the friends.h.i.+p of the G.o.d Race. When the people of the G.o.d Race look at you, they will naturally feel a sense of intimacy with you. You can get along well with them with just a few words and quickly become bosom brothers.]

This was the information regarding the Friends.h.i.+p Badge. It wasn’t useful for Lin Jiufeng’s cultivation base because it wasn’t powerful overall. It only had one function.

But in the current situation, it was a treasure that couldn’t be bought with money.

He really lacked the confidence to make the descendants of the G.o.d Race believe in him.

Now that he had signed in to this, he was confident that he could gain the trust of the people here and learn more about the G.o.d Race.

Perhaps he could even learn some of the situation of the past from the mouths of the descendants of the G.o.d Race, the truth buried by history.

Hence, Lin Jiufeng was very satisfied with the reward of the sign-in this time.

White Dragon swiftly cooked three meat and three vegetable dishes. They were all simple farm dishes, but the wine that he took out smelled delicious and made people drool.

Even Miss Hong’s eyes lit up. She licked her lips with her pink tongue and watched eagerly.

She was also a wine lover.

“This wine is good stuff. Back then, during the age of the G.o.d Race, there was a Wine G.o.d. His brewing technique was invincible. During the war of the G.o.ds and immortals, he brewed more than 10,000 jars of good wine and buried them underground. He left them here. After so many years, we drank a lot of them one after another. We don’t have much left now,” White Dragon chuckled and said.

He filled Lin Jiufeng’s cup with wine and looked at Miss Hong.

Without needing to ask, Miss Hong consciously raised the wine cup.

White Dragon laughed. He admired Miss Hong’s character very much and filled her cup.

“Let the three of us have a drink together,” White Dragon raised his wine cup and said.

“Sure. The two of us are born in this era, we didn’t expect to be able to drink such good wine. It’s simply our honor.” Lin Jiufeng smiled slightly. He raised his wine cup and drank it in one gulp.

Miss Hong also drank it in one gulp. Then, she felt comfortable all over. Her face was red, and she smacked her lips cutely. “The taste is excellent. It’s the best wine I’ve ever drunk.”

White Dragon placed this jar of good wine in front of Miss Hong and said, “In the afternoon, you guys told me everything you know. I choose to believe you guys. It’s your turn to ask me tonight. I will also tell you everything I know.”

Lin Jiufeng was overjoyed upon hearing this. It was the same for Miss Hong. They really had a lot of questions.

“Have you really lived for more than 20,000 years?” Miss Hong asked with a red face.

“Really.” White Dragon nodded.

“Then, what’s your cultivation base?” Miss Hong looked at White Dragon, puzzled.

“Is the cultivation base of the Five Decays Realm very low?” White Dragon asked with a smile.

“There should be a reason for this, right? The Five Decays Realm can at most live for a few hundred years. Even if you used all sorts of methods to extend your life, you still couldn’t live past 800 years. How did you live for 20,000 years?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“My current cultivation base is at the Five Decays Realm, but that doesn’t mean that my previous cultivation base was also only at this realm,” White Dragon said.

Lin Jiufeng and Miss Hong were all ears.

White Dragon pointed at Miss Hong and Lin Jiufeng. He shook his head and said, “The two of you are now immortals who have stepped into the Nine Restrictions Realm, but it will be a little difficult for you to live for more than 20,000 years. Unless you can enter the second lifetime at the last moment of your life. Only then will you have a chance. But that will be too difficult. No one in our village can do it.”

“You just said that no one in the village can live until the second lifetime. Doesn’t that mean that these people are from the same era as you?” Miss Hong asked in surprise.

“Of course. Other than one child, the others in this village are all of the same generation as me. In the past, we were much stronger than the two of you. Although we weren’t top-notch in the G.o.d Race, we were still outstanding. That’s why we were able to live for more than 20,000 years until now.” White Dragon explained tirelessly.

“Then what happened to your cultivation bases?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“Our cultivation bases? We used it to strengthen and repair the seal.” White Dragon ate a mouthful of food and said casually.

“Seal?” Lin Jiufeng and Miss Hong looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes.

Sure enough, this G.o.d Race village wasn’t simple. Only now did White Dragon reveal a little of the truth.

“Is there a seal here?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“Of course.” White Dragon looked at Lin Jiufeng and directly said with a smile, “Don’t keep asking me. I’ll directly tell you what happened in this place over the past 20,000 years.”

Lin Jiufeng immediately raised his wine cup. “Let me toast you.”

Miss Hong also raised her wine cup. “I toast you too.”

White Dragon gulped down the wine in his cup. He looked at Lin Jiufeng and suddenly felt a sense of intimacy. Recalling how Lin Jiufeng told him everything honestly in the afternoon, he had the desire to tell him everything too.

“This used to be a vast world called the Third World.”

“It’s the territory of our G.o.d Race. It’s actually not that different from the main world. The main world is the First World and this is the Third World. This world also has a lot of source energies. When I was young, my life was actually carefree.”

“But all of this disappeared after we went up against the Immortal Court.”

White Dragon recalled the past. His eyes were in a daze as if he was seeing the glory of the G.o.d Race 20,000 years ago.

Compared to today, the situation of the G.o.d Race during that time and now was really worlds apart.

“Do you know why this place has become like this?” White Dragon looked at Lin Jiufeng and asked.

Lin Jiufeng shook his head. He personally filled the wine cup for White Dragon and then drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

White Dragon took another sip of wine. His face was slightly red. This wine was brewed by a master brewer of the G.o.d Race. It was a wine that could make immortals drunk.

“The battle between the G.o.d Race and the Immortal Court spread to several Major Chiliocosms. They even shattered several worlds. The Third World is no exception. A War G.o.d from the Immortal Court came here and wanted to destroy the Third World, but he was defeated by a powerhouse of the G.o.d Race. But the War G.o.d’s life force was powerful and couldn’t be killed, so we set up a huge array to seal the War G.o.d.”

“Then, the great war between the G.o.ds and the immortals broke out. The powerhouses of the G.o.d Race joined the war one after another. The fighting in the outside world was very intense, leaving only us young people to guard the Third World.”

“This guarding lasted for 20,000 years!”

White Dragon said sadly. He himself didn’t know if he was feeling regret or something else.

The feeling he felt didn’t seem to be as serious as to be called regret.

But he was unwilling to accept this situation. 20,000 years of time had been spent here.

“Why didn’t you leave? Wasn’t that War G.o.d of the Immortal Court already suppressed by you guys?” Miss Hong asked curiously.

“The power of the seal is weakening year by year. Our village once had more than 90 immortals. They weren’t only at the Nine Restrictions like you guys, but were powerful people who could each be used to suppress an era.”

“We infused the majority of our energy into that array to reinforce the seal, thereby weakening our cultivation bases.”

“So what you saw was that our cultivation bases are really only at the Five Decays Realm.”

White Dragon answered Miss Hong’s doubts honestly.
