Ouyang Boxiao looked calmly at Gu Qijie.
Even upon seeing this opponent from the Ancient Era revived, not a ripple stirred in his expression.
Back then, he had battled a mysterious person at the edge of the Primordial River. It seemed that person had been him.
"...Futian." Gu Qijie drew a deep breath, his voice grave.
Back then, when he had intended to snatch the spoils at the edge of the Primordial River, a mysterious figure from the Ancient Immortal Court had also appeared. It seemed that person had been Futian.
The two of them had now exposed their true identities beneath the immense pressure of this ancient continent and could no longer conceal themselves. But ever since Heaven-and-Earth Sublimation began, they had no further need to hide.
"It was me." Ouyang Boxiao spoke blandly. "Back then, you spread word of the Chaos Ancient Road. It seems you had long been preparing for your revival today, so you must have reclaimed the Origin of the Great Thousand World."
Having said that, his gaze narrowed slightly as he carefully appraised Gu Qijie, seemingly seeking some clue.
"So what if I did, and so what if I did not?" Gu Qijie's emotions gradually calmed as well. "I once thought the one who could live until now would certainly be Burial. I never expected it to be you."
"Futian, you actually deceived the will of the Heavenly Dao. What fine means."
A trace of a smile appeared on Gu Qijie's profound face. "I once believed you were the cultivator least deserving of life in this world."
From childhood, Futian had been targeted by Heaven and Earth. Even breaking through major realms had been a crisis of life and death. That had exceeded his expectations.
"Oh..."
Ouyang Boxiao seemed thoughtful. He did not respond
