"Limitless. You'll have to drink. Waiter. Last vat of century-old wine. " Zhang Jin immediately called out to the waiter loudly. Zhang Jin's expression changed slightly as he replied, "Limitless. You and I have not seen each other for years. You still look so carefree and free, I'm really envious of you. "2
Fan Wuji laughed and said, "Everyone has their own way of life. Big Brother, in the days when you spent money like dirt, who knows how many people in the Cang Prefecture and even the vast Tang Country envied you. If I wasn't missing my parents, I wouldn't be responsible. Sometimes I want to lead a bland life for ordinary people. "
"This person's heart is truly strange. Everyone was envious of others. Limitless, you are now the number one genius of the Hundred Kingdoms and are known as the king of geniuses. Zhang Jin could not help but sigh.
Fan Wuji looked at Zhang Jin with a smile. At this moment, the waiter brought the jar of century-old wine to the table. Fan Wuji picked up his wine bowl and gulped it down. He looked at Zhang Jin with a kind of brotherly joy, but also a faint sadness.
"This trip is to be held for an unknown period of time. Come! Brother. "Here's a bowl for you, Limitless." Fan Wuji immediately raised his wine bowl, gulping it down in one gulp.
He was going to the world of the sects soon. However, upon entering the sect, there was no way one could return to the Hundred Kingdoms without becoming a Immortal. He was only in the Innate realm. No matter how monstrous of a talent he had, it would take him tens or even hundreds of years to reach the Immortal Soul stage. If his friends hadn't broken through to the Greater Heaven stage, then he would have left this time.
The two of them knew in their hearts that this might be the last time they would meet. Everyone was a bit depressed, but they covered it up well.
Both of them toasted each other as they drank happily.
It was dark now, and the two of them had been drinking for more than half a day, telling stories of their brothers' memories together. Right now, Zhang Jin only had the cultivation of the Pre-Sky Realm. He didn't have much alcohol and was already drunk.
"Come! Brother. So many years. I have been the young master of the first chamber of commerce in the Tang Kingdom since I was a child, and everyone has been flattering me. I seem to be friends all over the world. But the only brothers who truly care about each other are you, Limitless. Everlasting. Big brother can't bear to part with you. " Zhang Jin was completely drunk as he leaned on the table.
Fan Wuji felt his heart ache for no reason when he heard this. To be able to say the words' unwilling to part 'in front of a man was the greatest of bravery and friendship.
After Zhang Jin finished speaking, he fell drunk onto the table. Fan Wuji softly said, "Big brother, even Limitless is reluctant to part with you. But my parents have been missing for many years, and I don't know if they are alive or dead.
He quickly took out a token and stuffed it into Zhang Jin's pocket. This was the Gold Medallion of Immunity that he had asked for from the teacher. The teacher was now the new emperor of the Tang Kingdom. With his Gold Medallion of Immunity, it was as if he had gained an extra life in the Tang Kingdom.
Fan Wuji carried Zhang Jin on his back and sent him to his mansion. He walked out of the mansion by himself, and after looking at his hometown for the last time, he left the Cang Prefecture.
On this day, there were only seven to eight days until the Hundred Days of Extermination. Fan Wuji had learned from his teacher that his parents had come to the Tang Kingdom's Cang Prefecture 20 years ago.
In the teacher's memory, his parents were a talented couple with peerless beauty and a noble air. That kind of nobility deep down in his bones was even higher than the mortal royal family, or even a Life and Death Realm King. Their spirits were restrained, but every one of them had an impression of elegance upon their first meeting.
Fan Wuji's parents had settled in Cang County for a few years, and then Fan Wuji was born. The teacher's parents had also become close friends. What happened afterwards Fan Wuji vaguely remembered, he spent seven carefree years with his parents.
When he was seven years old, his father had taught him the concepts of body refining technique and the Hundred Swords Sword Art, as well as some sword manuals. Every single sword stance was a type of sword technique. Although these sword techniques weren't of high quality, their styles were completely different.
As for his mother, she didn't teach him any of the magic, but rather left him with a tiny copper mirror. He still remembered the look in his parents' eyes when they left. In her eyes, there was reluctance, attachment, love, concern, and reluctance, but finally, there was a trace of a strange light.
Back then, Fan Wuji didn't understand what that peculiar light was, but now, he understood that it was a type of disregard for death. Only those who had experienced desperate situations would understand that kind of light, which was as if death was at hand.
With the departure of his parents, he became an orphan. A seven-year-old child, he remembered many things. It was when he was attached to his parents. Although the teacher was very good to him, he still missed his parents. He had always wanted to find his missing parents ever since he was young.
This was also the reason why he left Cang County at the age of fourteen to train in the academy. Despite his age and Teacher's deduction, his parents seemed to be experts from the sect world. However, within the Hundred Empire World, not just them, but even the King of Life and Death had frozen and hadn't left the Hundred Empire World, thus they had the ability to head back to the sect world alone.
Generally speaking, to leave the Hundred Kingdom Territory, one had to either pass through the top level of the Star Pagoda or possess strength beyond the Life and Death Realm in order to be able to rely on their own means to cross thousands of mountains to reach the sect world. And only sect immortals could control the Star Pagoda.
Fan Wuji bid farewell to the teachers, to all his friends in his hometown, and headed in the direction of the Free Fortress by himself. The Star Tower was located in the fortress. It was also the location where the competition for hegemony was held. Previously, the Sect Immortal had said that after killing the mortal world in a hundred days, he would gather at that place.
About five or six days later, Fan Wuji arrived at the Star Pagoda of the Free Stronghold once more. He couldn't help but think of the battles between geniuses in the competition for power a hundred days ago.
He settled down in front of a row of houses in front of the Star Pagoda. He quietly waited for the sect immortals to arrive a few days later. Soon, the final few days passed. This day was the day the sect immortals said they would gather and leave.
Fan Wuji walked out of the house and saw a few familiar faces. Blind Yang's observation skills were much better than those of the naked eye. He was the first one to notice Fan Wuji, and he nodded to greet him.
Crown Prince Qin looked at Fan Wuji, his heart extremely complicated. He wanted to fight, but he was not his match. The Twin Star Flower of the Antarctic Nation, the wolf cub, the divine child Zhang Zhongyu, Jing Wuming, and the others also walked out of their houses.
The top ten geniuses gathered in a moment. They all looked at the others, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Besides the ten geniuses, there was still one more person standing there. There was some distance between him and everyone else, and it felt a bit out of place. This man was Cao Junsheng. He had plotted and schemed to kill many geniuses within the secret realm, thus gaining the right to be specially recruited by Xue Qingyi into the sect. But who would have thought that he would have violated the rules of the Heavens and lost the chance of reaching Immortal Ascension?
