Following the trail, Ji Xiao soon came to the top of the mountain, and at the edge, an old man with his clothes fluttering, sitting on the round stone bench on the side of the mountain, and the round stone table in front of him was boiling tea, gurgling and boiling, steaming hot.

This old man is the old man on the portrait that Ji Xiao saw in the ancestral hall.

"Junior Ji Xiao, I've seen the mysteries of the seniors." Ji Xiao was not too surprised, but he was a little puzzled, when a city has been corrupted by the erosion of time, how far do people have to go to resist the erosion of time?

The old man Xuanji didn't look up, he smoothly picked up the boiled water and made the tea, the fragrance was overflowing, he was not too hot, he directly took a sip, and then his face was full of aftertaste.

After a long time, he sighed, "It's been too long!" He hadn't tasted it for too long, too long, and even he couldn't count how much time had passed, and if it weren't for his obsession, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to remember himself.

Ji Xiao didn't speak, listening to his words quietly, the old man's voice was very hoarse, and even a little difficult, obviously he hadn't spoken for a long time.

The old man didn't sigh for too long, he quickly put away the trace of amazement, and looked at Ji Xiao lightly, "Tell me, what's going on outside now." ”

He didn't have a commanding tone, but he had a majesty that people didn't dare to question or refuse.

Ji Xiao glanced at him in surprise, she didn't expect that the first thing the old man asked was this, could it be that he had never gone out in Xuanji City?

But she still spoke, she said it very methodically, starting from the human society more than 70 years ago, talking about the catastrophe, talking about the struggles and efforts made by human beings, and talking about the current situation in the galaxy and star field......

Xu was because the old man didn't understand the outside world, but it made Ji Xiao let down his guard, not to mention the old man's terrifying strength, even if she didn't say it, as long as the other party was willing to go out, she could know it clearly.

The old man was also a good listener, and he didn't interrupt her once along the way, but like a listener in a teahouse who listens to a storyteller's storyteller, from time to time he showed a puzzled, relieved, or worried expression.

In the end, he listened more and more energetically, but Ji Xiao dried his throat and couldn't help coughing, which made the old man come back to his senses and beckoned her to sit down and drink tea.

When Ji Xiao drank a few big cups, the old man's face couldn't help but soften a little, "So, the Milky Way Star Domain is now supported by you?" ”

Regret flashed in Ji Xiao's eyes, I don't know what kind of tea was brewed in that cup, it tasted light and light, but it had an endless aftertaste afterward. It's just that the old man asked, and she couldn't help but answer, so she had to give up, put down the cup and speak, "It's not up to us, everyone else is also working hard." ”

It's a modest child, a smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth, and he immediately asked, "Listen to what you just said, there are four major forces now?" ”

Ji Xiao nodded and said: "Although there are six major star fields that have been inhabited so far, the Milky Way Star Domain has not yet entered the eyes of the world, and the Qiongtian Star Domain is a poor mountain and bad water, which is not suitable for human habitation, and the rest is the Ferris Star Domain where the Seven Killings Hall is located, the Rainbow Star Domain under the jurisdiction of the Lord of the Dome Domain, the Weiyang Star Domain of the Dominating Domain Lord, and the most mysterious Zifu Star Domain. ”

I don't know which sentence touched the old man, he suddenly sank his face, was silent for a long time, and then asked: "If I guessed correctly, these four major forces, the highest realm is all Six Star Venerable, right?" ”

Surprise flashed in Ji Xiao's eyes, "How do seniors know?" She didn't say anything about it just now.

The corners of the old man's mouth hooked, and he couldn't see joy, anger, sorrow, or joy, but Ji Xiao clearly felt that there was a mockery in it, but this mockery didn't seem to be aimed at these four major forces.

He suddenly looked at Ji Xiao, and a playful look flashed in his eyes, "Then aren't you curious, why is none of the major forces a Seven Star Venerable?" ”

How could Ji Xiao not think about this question, it's just that Qixingzun is too far away from her, and she just goes through it in her mind, and she has no power to explore it at all.

But she quickly reacted, how could the old man ask this question, did he know?

"Senior, you ......"

The old man did not speak, he looked at the sky and sighed deeply. I don't know why, Ji Xiao actually felt a sense of despair in him at this time.

Despair?

Ji Xiao felt ridiculous, with the unfathomable strength of the old man, what else could make him feel desperate?

Without waiting for Ji Xiao to speak, the old man suddenly spoke, "Have you ever heard of the Great Destruction of the Universe?" ”

Ji Xiao frowned, this question was raised a long time ago, saying that the universe also has its life cycle, and when the time comes, even the universe will die, and then I don't know how long it will take, and then start again.

But this theory has always existed only in theory, after all, no one can confirm it.

She couldn't help but say tentatively: "What do you mean by the predecessors, this universe will really die?" ”

"Death? That's a very apt statement. The old man smiled, "Everything has life, and this universe is naturally no exception, and when it reaches its age, it will naturally die." ”

But Ji Xiao couldn't figure it out, "Even if the universe will die, what does it have to do with no one stepping into the Seven Star Venerable?" ”

This question didn't seem to be something that Ji Xiao should be exposed to, but the old man didn't avoid it, and said bluntly: "Because the cosmic heart of this universe has been broken. ”

The heart of the universe is not the center of the universe, it is like a person's soul, only when the universe has a soul, it will be reborn after the great destruction, but the heart of the universe of this universe is already broken, as if a person's soul is broken, and it is impossible to cultivate to the level of perfection.

And the realm of the return of the seven stars belongs to the level of the Great Perfection.

When this universe is all broken, how can people in this universe comprehend that broken part?

Ji Xiao was shocked when she heard this, as if she was listening to a book from heaven, it was wonderful enough, but she couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

She couldn't help but blurt out, "How could the seniors know this?" ”

"Me?" The old man sighed slightly, "I am from the last cosmic era. ”

"......" Ji Xiao was stunned on the spot, she never thought that the answer would be like this. However, since it is the death of the universe, can the people in the universe still survive?

Because she didn't know the old man's true strength, she didn't dare to make a conclusion at will, but she was already skeptical of the old man's words. In her mind, it stands to reason that no one would survive the collapse of the universe.

Although she didn't say these doubts, the old man had already seen them, and he smiled lightly: "If it is a six-star venerable, it is impossible for anyone to survive the destruction of the universe and reach the seven-star venerable, but there is a glimmer of hope to escape." ”

Ji Xiao's face suddenly changed greatly, the old man Xuanji is a seven-star venerable?
