Li Buyi did not wish to be in the spotlight, yet in the present situation he knew that if he were to not congratulate Qin Wushuang, those restless minds in the dark might become active.
Before Li Buyi only supported Qin Wushuang in secret, but now it seemed he would make it clear to everyone.
Fortunately, Qin Lianshan and Mu Rong Qianji were in charge of receiving guests and with the hosts being two Supreme Dao elite warriors, Qin Wushuang did not need to worry about it too much. He only needed to be a happy groom.
After the feast finished, Li Buyi walked before Qin Wushuang and said with a smile, “Little one, you would not mind if I take some of your time?”
“I am really grateful to you, Senior Li. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.”
Qin Wushuang still respected Li Buyi from the bottom of his heart. In the beginning when he appeared, Qin Wushuang did not have a good impression of him. He felt as though he was a liar, and extremely naughty where he would deceive for food and drink. He would also enjoy prying into your privacy.
Now thinking back, Qin Wushuang felt incredibly ashamed. At that time, perhaps he appeared extremely childish when he played all those tricks before Senior Li Buyi.
“Ha ha, little one, are you thinking about the time when you met me?” A mischievous light flashed past Li Buyi’s turbid eyes. Then immediately after, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Clearly, despite having a crazy appearance, this Li Buyi had a meticulous heart, as if he could see through a person.
Qin Wushuang only smiled embarrassingly. Only before Li Buyi, he felt he was not under any pressure.
“Little one, are you curious about who I am?” Li Buyi asked with a smile.
“Ha ha, I always thought you were a frivolous secluded elite warrior. Now, it does not appear that way.”
Li Buyi laughed. “Why do you say so?”
“If you were a real secluded elite warrior, even if you did like me a lot, you would not have offended the Xuan Yuan Clan even though you are to secretly care for me. Since you appeared, you must have had your reasons.”
Li Buyi appreciated Qin Wushuang’s analysis.
“Yes, this time as I’ve stepped out, I plan to put everything on the table. Wushuang, did you know that ever since you met me for the first time at the human countries, I already had my eyes on you? I saw something different on you. You have unruly eyes, not pompous or unruly, but you carry a form of pride and persistence. It conforms to my taste. For the current young generation, many people have an unyielding character, but most of them are blind and don’t care about a thing.”
Since the other party was praising him, of course Qin Wushuang could not just nod to agree. If he did, it would be blowing his own trumpet, so he just listened attentively.
Qin Wushuang knew that Li Buyi specifically stepped out this time to find him, for he must instruct him with important matters. Perhaps, those things he was always curious about in the past would be revealed tonight.
“Wushuang, ever since then, I started to pay attention to your growth, to your advancement. Unexpectedly, you did not let me down. From your grudge with that Heavenly Lake Empire, to defeating Xin Tianwen, to a young man of the human countries, your growth is an unrepeatable legend. Even across the entire Tian Xuan Land, only a few have been able to achieve such astonishing results in history.”
Qin Wushuang gave a long sigh. “That being said, for the few times when I encountered grave trouble, are you the one that helped me?”
Li Buyi shook his head. “No, I never helped you directly unless the enemy you were met with was an absolute elite warrior that you could not fight. The only time when I stepped out was with that honorable beast at the Emei Daoist Sect. Of course, I also paved the way for you a few other times. For example, when you were exiled to the Endless Eastern Sea, I ordered the totem clan to not send people to chase and kill you. I also saved two of your senior brothers and ordered them to not get involved with the human countries. I only helped you solve some trouble behind the scenes.”
Qin Wushuang appeared to be grateful. “I felt strange at that time and made some assumptions. Indeed, it was you.”
Li Buyi said with a smile, “Of course, since I stay aloof from worldly affairs, I rarely appear more than once every few thousand years. Many people do not know about me and sometimes my words are not useful. Since I cannot tell them, I can only seek the six paramount elite warriors of the totem clan. Since their teenage years, these guys grew under my eyes. Although many of them became the top elite warriors of the land, honestly, not many reached my satisfaction!”
Li Buyi’s tone sounded somewhat helpless and bitter.
“Initially, the totem clan were the absolute top existences within the Tian Xuan Land. They are the hope of the land. Unfortunately, after tens of thousands of years of locking themselves in caused them to lose the brilliance they had from the immemorial period. They have a small breadth of mind and only care about their own interests. They scramble for power and fame, and rarely someone with a big outlook appears. One thousand year ago, there was one, Golden Cicada, yet he was met with the jealousy of the gods.”
When he heard Li Buyi talking about Golden Cicada, Qin Wushuang was somewhat stunned.
“The dead can never appear again, let’s not talk about Golden Cicada. Wushuang, if I’ve guessed correctly, you should have already inherited the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation?”
When he said this, abruptly Li Buyi’s eyes became deep as he fixed his gaze on Qin Wushuang.
Although Qin Wushuang was surprised inwardly, he would not even know how to lie before Li Buyi. Without the courage to even lie, he nodded unconsciously.
“Senior, you knew about the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation?”
“Ha ha, Seven Deadly Arrays Formation, did you explore the Sixth Loop?”
Qin Wushuang became even more surprised. “Senior, you knew about it?”
Li Buyi shook his head mysteriously. “I only know some, but not all. However, I can tell you that the master of the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation is also our master.”
“Your master?” Qin Wushuang was somewhat confused.
“Yes, perhaps he can be considered a master, or teacher. Anyways…” Suddenly, Li Buyi’s tone became reserved as if he was remembering a very distant matter.
“It happened after the immemorial war of god. At that time, we were still young. We were taken in as disciples by the master of the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation, Li Xuanfeng. There were seven of us in total. At that time, we were called the Heavenly Mysterious Seven Disciples in the later immemorial period. Thousands of years of history caused the seven of us to gradually disappear from the eyes of the people. We were known as legends.”
“Li Xuanfeng, master of the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation?” Questions filled Qin Wushuang’s brain. “Heavenly Mysterious Seven Disciples? Senior Li, you mean, there are at least seven at your level?”
“Yes, seven! Only seven!”
“What is your rank, Senior Li?”
Li Buyi chuckled. “I gain the advantage of age as Head Senior Brother. They usually call me Boss Buyi, or Head Senior Brother.”
“Indeed you are, I see you have a different temperament!” Qin Wushuang laughed.
Suddenly, Li Buyi’s face turned incredibly serious. “Wushuang, I need to speak to you about a few matters. Firstly, you must not call me Senior Li, at most, you can only call me Head Senior Brother. It’s because you’ve inherited the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation, left by the master. You are a person brought by fate and as the master of the formation, you can inherit the legacy of the teacher. In fact, under the teacher you are the true disciple, and you hold a higher rank than us.”
After a moment of distraction, Qin Wushuang said with a wry smile, “The prominent ones are respected, the one who enters first is to be respected. Senior Brother, ha ha, Senior Brother!”
Currently, Qin Wushuang felt as if he were in a dream. The originally bewildered situation wrapped by clouds and mist was suddenly clearing up. All doubts and questions were laid open with answers.
“Wushuang, at the same time when teacher bestowed you with this formation, he also bestowed you with supreme responsibility. Do you know what happened at the Immemorial War of Gods at the Tian Xuan Land?”
“Senior Brother, what happened in the immemorial age? I only know that the immemorial gods era is the most glorious period of the Tian Xuan Land. There are countless Supreme Dao people. We have no idea what happened after. There was a gap in history. And the current Tian Xuan Land is passed until today, not much has changed.”
“You truly don’t know much about our history.” Li Buyi’s expression appeared extremely grave. “I must tell you that the outside world assumed that the gods had internal strife and courted their own disaster. This is a rumor and definitely an insult to the seniors. In fact, those gods died by protecting the Tian Xuan Land. Some died in the hands of foreign enemies, some burned their divine souls to defend the Soaring Galaxia barrier to prevent the foreign tribe to transport to the Tian Xuan Land through a large transportation scale.”
“Invasion of foreign tribes? Soaring Galaxia barrier?”
Li Buyi’s face twitched. “Yes, Soaring of Galaxia barrier. Wushuang, those at the Peak of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage are the highest existences within the Tian Xuan Land. However, during the gods era, they are only in the upper level. There are many at the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage. They have the marvelous skill to travel through the galaxia, ignore the rules of space, and possess tremendous power. Yet due to the invasion of the foreign tribes, the brilliance of the immemorial gods era is fixed at that time. Countless Heavenly Supreme Dao elite warriors threw themselves to the destined battle to protect the Tian Xuan Land. In that battle, martial artists of the Tian Xuan Land kept retreating and were incapable of stopping the invasion.”
When Qin Wushuang heard the extremely gloomy tone of Li Buyi, he could not refrain from feeling nervous inwardly. Upon hearing Li Buyi’s tone, the situation in that battle must have been extremely difficult.
Then, how did the Tian Xuan Land escape from the misfortune?
Although Li Buyi was remembering the old history, his expression was extremely solemn and he did not carry the slightest bit of indifference.
Upon hearing his tone, it seemed as though there was a knife still hanging over his head causing him to feel suffocated and depressed.
