"Attending a banquet? I want to go too!"
Guapilong had obviously heard Li Xingkong's words and immediately came over.
In this new territory, where it was completely unfamiliar with everyone and everything, Li Xingkong was its only connection to this strange environment. Wherever Li Xingkong went, it would naturally follow.
"Then let's go, let's go together."
What can we do? We'll just have to take them with us. Anyway, Guapi is going to the small world, and Xiao Chongshan is going to help guide them to the Primordial World. The two of them will have to meet eventually.
Li Xingkong picked up the Guapilong, put the system on him, and then used the vision of his Nascent Soul to teleport himself and his group directly to the so-called old place.
Where else could it be but the place where Li Xingkong and Guapilong first met— the Divine Land Restaurant on that transit star system.
I've arrived on a familiar planet once again, but clearly too much time has passed, and much of the planet has changed.
Although Divine Land's development continues to improve, this does not mean that the overall development of the Convention is positive.
At this point in time, the conflicts between the countries Convention have become increasingly acute, with large-scale clashes of civilizations and small-scale wars occurring frequently. Driven by the war machine, most civilizations are actually weakening.
Looking at the planet as it is now, the population has clearly declined significantly, and there are far fewer tourists visiting.
He arrived at the restaurant with ease, and to Li Xingkong's surprise, the decorations were exactly the same as they were a thousand years ago, like a landmark in the long history of the past.
The boss has changed several times, but judging from his appearance, he should be a descendant of that cultivator from back then, as there is a resemblance between them.
There weren't many customers in the shop, just a few people here and there, and you could see the whole thing at a glance.
Xiao Chongshan hasn't arrived yet.
"So this is where I am. I really miss it."
Upon seeing a familiar spot, Guapilong became excited, released Li Xingkong's hand, hopped around the table a few times, and then sat down at one of the tables.
"Hey buddy, this is where we met."
The moment Guapilong sat down, Li Xingkong felt as if memories of the past were appearing before his eyes.
Indeed, familiar faces and places always evoke feelings of nostalgia.
Li Xingkong also stepped forward and sat down.
"That's right, the people are familiar faces, and the place is the same old place. So, do you remember what we ate back then?"
"Don't forget that bag, buddy!"
Guapilong clearly remembered their first meeting vividly.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Chongshan was still nowhere to be seen. Just as Li Xingkong was wondering about this, he sensed a spatial fluctuation around him.
A figure stepped out from the space and then looked in the direction of the restaurant.
With her current cultivation level, she could clearly see Li Xingkong and the familiar little guy opposite him with just one glance.
Xiao Chongshan's figure, which had just stepped out of the space, suddenly froze, as if he had been immobilized.
Li Xingkong didn't know what she was thinking, but seeing her past self, she was clearly not at peace.
As expected, after locating Li Xingkong, Xiao Chongshan flashed to the side of the table and landed behind Guapilong.
"Get out of the way."
A cold voice rang out from above the Guapilong's head, startling it.
Looking back, it quickly recognized the newcomer's appearance.
" Ajieta? It's you. Do you want to sit here? Let me make room for you."
The Guapilong had clearly mistaken the person for someone else, but it still shifted its position, preparing to offer its seat to Xiao Chongshan.
"Don't move!"
Watching the little guy's actions, Xiao Chongshan felt a nameless anger rising within him that he wanted to vent.
"Fine, whatever you say goes."
The Guapilong remained still; it could tell that the newcomer was probably in a bad mood.
Xiao Chongshan looked at the obedient Guapilong, gave a cold snort, and then sat down next to her.
"What, are you bored and looking for a substitute? Or is this your preferred type?"
Her words were quite blunt.
"Hiss, long time no see, you rascal..."
Li Xingkong was also a bit of a headache. He knew that bringing these two along would definitely cause trouble.
"What's wrong with me? I'm only sitting here and speaking politely to you because of our past relationship. You're bringing a fake to provoke me, aren't you?"
Xiao Chongshan is a little angry. What does that mean?
"Fake?"
Li Xingkong glanced at Xiao Chongshan, then at Guapilong, and slapped his forehead.
This is his problem.
Xiao Chongshan's ability to cultivate to this level at this point in time is clearly related to her talent, but since she doesn't have a system and no one has explained the division of realms and time-related abilities to her, she naturally doesn't know that the little Guapilong in front of her is her past self.
In such situations, verbal explanations are rather inadequate. Fortunately, cultivators have many ways to quickly transmit large amounts of information.
Li Xingkong raised his hand and sent the information related to time Traversal into Xiao Chongshan's mind.
After a few seconds of processing, Xiao Chongshan's expression clearly changed.
She looked at Guapilong with astonishment for several times.
He even used his Divine Sense to lift the little guy up, and then directly touched it, carefully examining every inch of its internal tissues.
So, it really is me from the past?
Li Xingkong nodded. If she still didn't believe him, then he would have no choice but to take her back for a walk.
"But I've never encountered anything like this in my past; she's just a parallel version of me."
Combining his talent with the half-finished Thousand Mountains Method he had deduced, Xiao Chongshan quickly understood the existence of the Guapilong.
Clearly, Xiao Chongshan didn't understand at this moment what impact the Thousand Mountains Body had on her cultivation. In her view, her parallel world self had basically no connection with her current self.
"Regarding this... I can only say that you'll understand once you go to the Jade Void Palace."
This is really hard for Li Xingkong to explain. The idea of anchoring to the past sounds quite absurd to ordinary people.
Xiao Chongshan stared into Li Xingkong's eyes, remaining silent for a long time.
A complex mix of emotions surged within her, like a raging storm.
Instead of the disappointment of seeing Li Xingkong, she was shocked to see her past self, moved to learn that Li Xingkong had indeed made efforts to protect her, and relieved that her past remained unchanged.
Everything is in the past; the path of cultivation must continue forward.
She laughed and raised the teacup beside her.
"Hey bro, wanna grab a drink?"
The past is gone, but everything can start anew.
