Chapter 1057 Founder of the Celestial Overlord

With a casual wave of his sleeves, Senior Bai refilled the empty landscape with clouds and floating platforms.

He flew to the nearest platform and proceeded to wait for Yuan, who was completely exhausted after unleashing literally all of his strongest attacks on Senior Bai.

Yuan took a seat, but Senior Bai remained standing there for some reason.

"You don't have to answer this question if you don't want to, nor am I going to force you. Yuan, that technique you used just now— God of War's Astral Arts, where did you learn it?" Senior Bai suddenly asked him.

Yuan's eyes widened slightly, as he didn't expect Senior Bai to recognize such an ancient technique.

"I encountered it by chance— that is all I'm willing to say. Sorry." Yuan said after a moment of silence.

Senior Bai shook his head, "There's no need for you to apologize. I am the one who should apologize since I am the one breaking the unspoken rule of never asking another cultivator about how they acquired their techniques."

"Now allow me to ask you another question— do you know the origin of that technique?"

"No, I do not." Yuan lied with a straight face.

As much as he trusts Senior Bai, he believed that the fewer people knew about his past lives the better. After all, there could be enemies out there that he didn't know about, and if news of his reincarnation spread, he could potentially be hunted by ancient monsters that have lived for millions of years, especially since one of his past lives was the Evil God.

"The God of War's Astral Arts… It was the Founder of the Celestial Overlord's technique." Senior Bai said with a solemn look on his face.

"Eh?" Yuan raised an eyebrow after hearing this unexpected answer.

'Founder of the Celestial Overlord? Unless the God of War also happened to be the Celestial Overlord's founder, that shouldn't be possible.'

"I have a question. What era did the Celestial Overlord's Founder exist in?"

"Around two million years ago."

'2 million years… The God of War should've existed in the Primordial Era, so they cannot be the same person. The only explanation for this is— the Founder of the Celestial Overlord is one of my past lives, and Senior Bai believes that he is the original owner of the God of War's Astral Arts when that is not the case.'

Although he had his suspicions that the founder of the Celestial Overlord was one of his past lives because they both had the same physique, there wasn't any other proof until now.

"Hm? Two million years ago? You're that old? Amazing…" Yuan realized this and praised him.

"It's only two million years. There are plenty of monsters out there that have lived far longer than I." Senior Bai shook his head.

"One more question, Senior Bai. Do you know the name of the founder?" Yuan then asked, as he wanted to see if he could remember anything after hearing the name.

However, Senior Bai shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, I wasn't worthy to hear his name. If you want to know his name, you will have to ask Xu Jiaqi. She's the only member left who knows his name."

"Is that so… Thank you."

"If you don't have any other questions, I will continue asking mine."

"Go ahead." Yuan nodded.

"My next question is related to that golden aura. I have seen similar techniques before, but none of them exuded such a terrifying pressure. Just thinking about it makes my skin crawl. Does it have a name?"

Yuan showed a bittersweet smile and said, "I'm really sorry, but I also have no idea. I don't even know how I acquired the technique, but it seems to boost my strength by a tremendous amount."

"Do you think I can take a closer look at it?" Senior Bai suddenly asked.

"About that… I also don't know how to control it. It only appears when it feels like it. It was by pure coincidence that I managed to use it just now as well, probably because I really wanted the soul cultivation technique."

Senior Bai pondered for a moment before speaking, "That technique is incredibly profound and powerful. The day you can control it is the day you will control the Nine Heavens— that is what I believe it."

"Control the Nine Heavens? I don't have such ambitions." Yuan chuckled.

The two of them continued to talk for a little longer before Senior Bai said, "Anyways, as much as I want to continue chatting with you, it's about time I leave. Do you have anything else for me?"

"Actually, I do." Yuan nodded, and he continued, "Now that I am a peak Spirit King, my cultivation won't continue until I upgrade my physique, but I still have no idea how to do so. I have tempered my body and even achieved Perfect Physique, but it doesn't seem to have any effects on my Heaven Refining Physique. Can you ask Miss Xu if she could help me find more information about my physique? I'm sure the upper heavens will have more information than what's available down here."

Senior Bai nodded, "I don't mind. I am going to see her in a bit, anyway. As for your soul cultivation technique… I will help you find one."

"Thank you." Yuan bowed to him before leaving the place and returning to the Myriad of Techniques.

Once Yuan left, Senior Bai looked at his hands that were still trembling from excitement and mumbled, "He really attacked me with the intention of killing me. If it weren't for my cultivation, I would've been in danger there… No, even with my cultivation, he actually managed to pierce my defenses and land a hit on me."

Although Yuan had managed to land a hit on Senior Bai, he didn't leave any marks, so Senior Bai is technically unharmed.

"With that being said, the fact that he, a mere Spirit King, was able to break through my defense, is a miracle in itself. If people knew that a Spirit King had landed a hit on me, they would try to covet his talent at all cost, and I would become a laughingstock… This is a secret that I must take to the grave…" Senior Bai left the place with a bittersweet smile.
