Li Xuan raised his hand, pointed at Tian Zi, then at the sky, and then at the land, and said with a smile, "You, the spirit of the Domain, transformed by the Purple Light!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Zi was shocked, and his doubts about Li Xuan's power dissipated, even feeling a sense of relief.

Since he knew his identity and had done nothing, it was clear he had no malicious intentions.

The identity of him being the spirit of the Domain was known to only a very few.

And him being the transformation of the Purple Light was known to even fewer.

"So the elder really did know, I was overthinking it."

Tian Zi said with a bitter smile.

"Looks like you, my young friend, have a story to tell, why not share it?"

Li Xuan took the opportunity to speak with a smile.

Tian Zi remained silent for a while, then raised his hand, pointed at the sky, and said, "Beyond the Domain lies the Land of Chaotic Imperishable, does the elder call it Chaos?"

Li Xuan smiled and nodded then shook his head, "Yes and no!"

Beyond the Domain lay a state of Chaos, filled with Imperishable Qi, and Li Xuan's first thought was Chaos, which is why he mentioned it.

However, Tian Zi's question obviously did not refer to it as Chaos.

Li Xuan naturally wouldn't contradict what he had said, but he also wouldn't completely deny the terms used by Tian Zi, thus giving a seemingly profound answer.

Some things should not be set in stone, as that leaves no room for maneuvering; Li Xuan was already adept at this.

Tian Zi did not ask why it was both yes and no but his expression became much more serious and his tone complex and reminiscent as he said, "Beyond the sky lies the Chaotic Imperishable, which Taicang and others call the Land of Imperishable, also known as the Land of Chaotic Imperishable. Formerly, the strong beings within this Domain all called the area beyond the sky the Land of Imperishable…

"The Land of Imperishable seems to exist eternally, inhabited by True Spirits, but like wild beasts, though they possess great power and even innate abilities, they use them crudely, not following the Path of Cultivation, relying solely on natural growth.

"No one knows when the beings of the Land of Imperishable were born or how ancient they are. Even Taicang is unable to trace back and see the past.

"Of course, you must know, elder; were it the earlier me, I would have curiously pestered the elder to explain clearly, but now, I no longer have such curiosity."

As he spoke, Tian Zi's expression seemed a bit forlorn.

Li Xuan listened silently, also feeling a bit sentimental; before the Domain, there was Chaotic Imperishable, which wasn't much different from the Chaos he knew.

He poured a cup of tea for Tian Zi, considering himself a listener.

Once Tian Zi started talking about the past, he couldn't stop, and everything came spilling out.

As expected, after taking a sip of tea, Tian Zi continued.

"Taicang was born in the Land of Imperishable. According to Taicang, he didn't know how he came into being or what kind of being he was, initially muddleheaded, like those Imperishable True Spirits, with unopened Spiritual Wisdom."

"Of course, at that time, the Land of Imperishable teemed with True Spirits, where the weak were prey to the strong, and weak True Spirits were always at risk of being eaten."

"Taicang said he saw the bloody battles of True Spirits, and for some reason, his Spiritual Wisdom gradually awakened, and he grew increasingly clever, and his form slowly changed to its current human appearance."

"Observing the battles of various True Spirits, both strong and weak, he gradually figured out how to dodge, how to evade, and how to efficiently hunt True Spirits..."

Tian Zi continued narrating slowly.

The protagonist of this story is called Taicang.

And from Tian Zi's narration, his relationship with Taicang seemed very close, and these events clearly weren't experienced by Tian Zi himself but were told to him by Taicang.

Li Xuan thought of Tian Zi's origins; a spirit of the Taicang Domain transformed by the Open Heaven Purple Light, his birth clearly connected to Taicang.

Even, it was Taicang who created him.

"The Land of Imperishable is vast; Taicang said he didn't know its size, he led a nomadic life there, wandering in danger. At that time, he had no sense of the passage of time, drifting endlessly, and because he possessed Spiritual Wisdom, he faced other True Spirits with pride.

"Later on, Taicang even stopped considering himself the same as those True Spirits, feeling he was a unique being."

"Not knowing how long he traveled, Taicang saw a supremely powerful True Spirit that was already ancient and seemed close to death."

"Taicang observed this True Spirit until it aged and died, its corpse discovered and devoured by other True Spirits."

"Taicang said that scene deeply shocked him; even if a being isn't killed, it will age and die, though he didn't know how long that True Spirit had lived, it eventually died."

"It was from that moment that Taicang felt he should pursue something..."

At this point, Tian Zi paused and looked at Li Xuan.

"Elder, do you know what Taicang pursued?"

Li Xuan nodded slightly; he had already guessed some.

"You say Taicang is a very talented young friend; Taicang's talent is second to none that I know of."

Tian Zi exhaled and said gravely, "Taicang, he is the first cultivator from the Land of Imperishable, exceptionally gifted, who pioneered the Path of Cultivation."

"Taicang cultivated, in the Land of Imperishable, absorbing the fierce Spiritual Energy for cultivation, continuously exploring and improving."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Thus, not knowing how many eons had passed, Taicang became powerful, able to easily hunt those powerful True Spirits he once couldn't face."

"As his cultivation deepened and grew stronger, the range Taicang roamed in the Land of Imperishable also grew wider, able to hunt increasingly powerful True Spirits."
