As Jiang Feng hurried through the night toward Fox Forest Town, far beyond it lay the Bai Clan's settlement.
Under cover of night, a child with a plump, cherubic build sat cross-legged, comprehending heaven and earth.
In the Divine Realm, every divine being had ascended from the Immortal Sacred Realm. Under normal circumstances, there would be no children.
Clearly, this person who looked like a child was not truly one.
After a divine being ascended, the power of the false Heavenly Dao shaped a body for them in the Divine Realm, but its appearance still followed the form they had possessed in the Immortal Sacred Realm.
In other words, this "child" had borne the appearance of a child when he ascended to the Divine Realm.
Setting aside his formidable aura, judging solely by his appearance, this child was only six or seven years old.
That meant this person had either cultivated to the Spirit Restoration Realm in the Immortal Sacred Realm at the age of six or seven, freezing his appearance from then on, or reached the Transcendental Spirit Realm in the mortal world at that same age.
Only then could he have retained this appearance.
But either possibility pointed to one thing:
This person's talent was terrifyingly extraordinary!
(It was not impossible to reach the Immortal Spirit Restoration Realm or the mortal Transcendental Spirit Realm at the age of six or seven. Those who reincarnated and cultivated anew in the Immortal Sacred Realm or the mortal world while retaining memories of their past lives could easily accomplish it.)
No one could have imagined that this "child," who appeared to be only six or seven years old, was Bai Xiuyao, the patriarch of the Bai Clan—the most powerful of the thirteen clans under Fox Forest Town's jurisdiction!
That was right.
