The enormous palace gave Li Xingkong a feeling of not being able to see the true face of Mount Lu, and the great sun hanging in the sky below the Jade Void Palace also gave Li Xingkong a sense of being surrounded, as if he had returned to Earth Star.
In such a vast world as the Primordial World, how could there possibly be such a sun? Its very existence is quite illogical.
"This sun is not a physical entity, but rather a conceptual collection of many stars integrated into the Primordial World."
Jiang Ziya saw Li Xingkong staring at the sun and explained it to him with a smile.
"Each universe has different rules and laws. Therefore, in the Primordial World, it was common for rules to contradict each other, leaving people bewildered. In the Primordial World, rules were not the most important thing; concepts were."
"All the universes that entered the Primordial World, at the moment of entry, all the stars and even the sun gods of the divine realms, were immediately stripped of their concepts and gathered into this great sun. The planets stripped of their concepts did not dissipate; however, under this great sun, they became no different from you and me, becoming ordinary people or ordinary objects."
Jiang Ziya stroked his beard, looked around a few times, and then bent down to pick up a spherical pebble.
"Look, this is an old sun. Before it merged into the Primordial World, it was once a powerful, blood-red sun, but now, stripped of its fading essence, it's nothing more than a tiny pebble."
Jiang Ziya tossed the "pebble" to Li Xingkong, Li Xingkong instinctively reached out and caught it.
The pebble suddenly felt heavy in his hand, and Li Xingkong quickly increased his Magic Power to hold it steady.
This weight is indeed what a sun should have.
Looking at this ordinary pebble, and then at the countless stones scattered across the desolate wilderness around him, Li Xingkong felt that the world seemed a little too vast.
"Keep it; it's a keepsake, after all."
Jiang Ziya smiled, then stretched out his fishing rod. Li Xingkong felt as if the entire Jade Void Palace was flying towards them. When he came to his senses, he was already at the entrance of the Jade Void Palace.
While below, Li Xingkong didn't see many cultivators coming and going, but when he arrived at the entrance of the Jade Void Palace, he discovered that there were countless cultivators coming and going inside the Jade Void Palace, only to disappear after leaving the Jade Void Palace gate.
Li Xingkong closely behind Jiang Ziya, heading towards the gate.
"Senior brother has made some progress again today, that's really great. I must come over for a drink sometime when I have some free time."
From a distance, the cultivators at the gate called out to Jiang Ziya.
"I'm lucky to have a young friend come from the lower realm. It just so happens that I have a few extra fish to try. It's nothing more than a small favor."
Jiang Ziya patted the fish basket beside him, and only then did Li Xingkong notice that there were indeed fish in the basket.
However, the size and appearance of this fish were indeed quite peculiar; Li Xingkong had never seen such a creature before.
"They're just some little trinkets. I was sitting by the sea today and saw a few small river snails. I've been feeling a bit bland lately, so I caught some to try."
Jiang Ziya didn't take it to heart, chatted and laughed with the cultivators at the door for a few minutes, and then beckoned Li Xingkong to follow.
Upon entering the Jade Void Palace, Li Xingkong felt as if he had stepped into another small world. He couldn't see any palace at all; instead, he saw flowing water, green trees, and verdant mountains—a natural landscape.
"Alright, alright, since you are Primordial Lady Seeking the Dao, then go and meet Yuanjun."
"Can I go back to my Minecraft now?"
Seeing Yuanjun was essential, but Li Xingkong hesitated a bit before saying goodbye.
"Of course you can. The Sea of Worlds is boundless, with countless worlds to explore."
"But in terms of timing..."
Li Xingkong didn't want to go back, he just wanted to go back as soon as possible.
"Going forward or backward in time, traveling back and forth between the past and the future, it's all trivial, no big deal."
Jiang Ziya reached out and summoned the River of Time. He even reached in and washed his hands, creating a ripple in the river, which he then smoothed out.
With these words, Li Xingkong felt much more at ease. Good, it's good that he can Traversal between the past and the future. That way, he can stay in the Jade Void Palace a little longer.
This is the Jade Void Palace!
"Go, go, Yuanjun is already waiting for you."
But which way should we go?
Just as Li Xingkong was about to ask, he discovered that Jiang Ziya had already disappeared.
Surrounded by towering mountains and flowing water, Li Xingkong was momentarily at a loss as to where to go next.
However, since his senior had left him here, there must have been a reason. Li Xingkong didn't ask any more questions and began to ponder the matter carefully.
Given this terrain, there must be some clues hidden within.
Looking around, Li Xingkong felt that someone was guiding him from the shadows, so he followed the stream forward.
After walking a few steps, Li Xingkong felt the world around him suddenly change, and his body shrank considerably. The blue and white interior design and the familiar desk made him feel as if he had returned to his school days.
" Li Xingkong? Out playing ball!"
Just as he was feeling lost, he heard his friends calling him from outside the door. Several childhood friends rushed in through the door carrying a ball, shouting his name.
"I..."
Li Xingkong looked down at his hands; his tender hands showed no signs of growing up, and he felt as if he had truly returned to the past.
The Hexagram in his mind went silent; all the Magic Power and Divine Sense seemed as if they had never existed.
"What are you standing there for? Come on!"
His childhood friend grabbed his arm and pulled Li Xingkong towards the classroom door. Dazed and confused, he was dragged along, half-awake, and followed them out the door.
Is all of this true or false?
Li Xingkong felt as if he were in a dream, in which he seemed to have become a great cultivator, but he couldn't remember the details.
It seems there's a system, and someone is waiting for him...
Li Xingkong crouched down, clutching his head; he had a bit of a headache.
"Hey, are you alright? I told you you shouldn't sleep so long at noon, look, your head is hurting from sleeping so much."
His childhood friend helped him up and handed him the ball.
"Come on, a couple of kicks will get you energized!"
"Okay!"
Li Xingkong reached out and took the ball. Those strange, whimsical thoughts were probably just a dream.
Shaking his head, Li Xingkong stopped thinking about it and focused his attention on the ball in front of him. He then kicked it high into the air.
"Oh!!!!! Charge!!!!"
His childhood friends nearby were laughing and joking around, rushing towards where the ball was going to land.
Li Xingkong shook his head; that kick really did make him feel much more energetic.
"Wait for me, I'm coming!"
