"How is that possible."
"Even though I call him uncle, and my surname is also Li, I have no blood relation with Uncle Qingshan."
The third brother denied.
...
Upon hearing this, the eldest brother also breathed a sigh of relief. If you really were a member of the Wisdom Divine Race and could cultivate, wouldn't that be... truly invincible?!
In this lifetime, I may never catch up to him, only eating the dust he leaves behind.
....
"Why does it seem like besides Li Qingshan and Dong'Er, everyone else in Li Family Village are just ordinary villagers?" the eldest asked.
Logically, this village should all be people of the Wisdom Divine Race.
.....
"This Li Family Village is just a place for Uncle Qingshan to retire."
"When Uncle Qingshan was young, he traveled across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, visited many places, and ultimately came to this Li Family Village... Uncle Qingshan is a foreigner."
"When I first met Uncle Qingshan, he happened to be traveling here. I was lucky to encounter him... Otherwise, I might never have been able to cultivate or leave this world in my lifetime."
The third brother recalled the past, a look of nostalgia appearing on his face.
....
"So, are you actually a native of this world?"
The eldest was surprised to learn that the third brother's origins were so humble?!
"Well... I don't know either..." replied the third brother.
Hearing this, the eldest showed a puzzled expression and asked curiously, "What do you mean by that? You don't even know your own background?"
...
"Because... since the day I can remember, I was an abandoned orphan."
"I once asked Uncle Qingshan about my background, but every time... he just smiled silently, refusing to speak."
"So I suspect that I might not be from this world either, but rather, my parents and family abandoned me here."
The third brother spoke slowly.
After hearing these words, the eldest was not too surprised, because the third brother's life experiences were so grand and unrestrained that his identity didn't seem like that of an ordinary mortal.
He seemed more like a Second Generation Immortal who had wandered into the mortal world.
"See, I told you your identity couldn't be that simple," the eldest teased.
....
"I know my true identity might not be simple... But without Uncle Qingshan's help, I couldn't have embarked on the path of cultivation."
"Because the spiritual power in this world is so scarce that it is almost non-existent, and my talent was once extremely poor."
The third brother sighed.
"That's right, even a fine horse in a barren world might never get the chance to rise without someone who recognizes its worth," the eldest agreed.
.....
The eldest and the third brother stayed in Li Family Village for three days.
That night.
In the courtyard.
"Tonight, you two should leave."
"You have many important things to attend to, no need to waste time with an old man like me."
Li Qingshan said to the two.
"Uncle Qingshan, it's fine, we're not busy."
"We'll stay with you a little longer."
said the third brother with a smile.
"No need, three days are enough. If you continue to stay here, this old man will get annoyed."
"In this final period, I want to be alone."
After saying this, Li Qingshan looked at the eldest and slowly said, "You are a good elder brother; Da Niu is lucky to follow you."
"Moreover, you have an even greater master. Following him is your greatest opportunity."
.....
Li Qingshan kept the eldest and third brother here for three days not because he wanted their company, but because he wanted to use this time to "observe" the eldest.
The Wisdom Divine Race's greatest ability is to perceive everything in the world; in their eyes, they can "observe," "perceive," and "analyze" everything....
Humans can also become objects of their "perception."
After three days of observation and perception, Li Qingshan had pretty much figured out the eldest's character, which is why he said he is a good elder brother worth following.
Not only that, but he also perceived that behind the eldest and third brother, there is an even more powerful "master."
However, Li Qingshan could only perceive that there is a powerful master behind them; he couldn't discern the master's identity, name, or anything specific.
But one thing he could be sure of was that the master Da Niu followed is worthy of being followed.
Moreover, that master should be very powerful, so he felt assured letting Dong'Er go with Da Niu.
.....
Upon hearing Li Qingshan's words, the eldest couldn't help but bristle.
Because he had never mentioned anything about the master, and the third brother couldn't have either.
So... how did he know?
Could this be the terrifying aspect of the Wisdom Divine Race, that he seemed completely transparent in their eyes?
....
"Dong'Er."
Li Qingshan called softly.
Soon, a slender girl shrouded in a white cloth gently opened the door and came out.
"Dong'Er, I don't have much life left to care for you anymore."
"Go with Brother Da Niu, and in the future... listen to him and help him when needed."
Li Qingshan said to Li Dong'Er warmly.
Li Dong'Er nodded in response.
Through these three days of interaction, the eldest realized... that Li Dong'Er's demeanor was very calm; no matter what she encountered, she remained serene.
"Uncle, are you sure you won't come with us?" the third brother tried persuading again.
Li Qingshan waved it off, saying, "No."
.....
"Da Niu, Dong'Er's identity is special."
"If, in the future, someone comes looking for Dong'Er and wants to take her away, give them this letter and tell them it was my decision so they should not interfere."
Li Qingshan took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to the third brother.
Seeing this, the third brother carefully put it away.
The eldest felt a tumult surging in his heart; by saying this, Li Qingshan implied that those who would come for Dong'Er later would be people from the Wisdom Divine Race!
.....
"It's time to go."
Li Qingshan sat on a wooden chair, waved his hand toward the three, and said.
Seeing this, the third brother knelt before Li Qingshan, giving him a heavy bow: "Uncle, take care."
This bow was a mark of gratitude for Li Qingshan's kindness, and it also meant... from now on, they were worlds apart, never to meet again.
...
Thus, the third brother waved his hand, taking Li Dong'Er and transforming into a stream of light that soared into the sky.
The eldest also gave Li Qingshan a deep bow of gratitude: "Uncle Qingshan, take care."
He followed the third brother.
Before leaving this world, the third brother lifted the reincarnation spell from the other villagers of Li Family Village, letting them live and die like normal people, which was also a release for them.
From then on... Li Family Village would cease to exist.
