The middle-aged man was eating his meal, bite by bite.
He wasn't in a hurry to talk about the Heavenly Extreme Emperor.
Xu Bai didn't mind either and also began to eat.
He ate quickly, as if he hadn't had such delicious food in a very long time.
“You really do give face,” the middle-aged man said with a smile, “acting as if you haven't eaten for hundreds of years.”
“Not hundreds of years, but a few decades perhaps,” Xu Bai said with a smile.
“After ascending, do you stop eating?” The middle-aged man said somewhat wistfully:
“Whether human or demon, or other races, after cultivation, especially after ascending, they gradually forget what they once were.
“Humans are no longer human, demons are no longer demons.
“They start using nobler names to refer to themselves.
“If they don't have one, they create a name.
“The Immortal Clan stands above the many other races, naturally noble.
“But it seems without a clear hierarchy, they cannot exhibit their nobility.
“Especially as more ascend, those who were once high above feel their status being sullied little by little.
“So, they begin to ponder and delve into ancient texts.
“Eventually, they decide to establish the Supreme Immortal Court, to delineate the races of the world, and to sort them by the nobility of their bloodlines.
“The people from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion should stand in the mundane world, belonging to the most inferior of races.
“The Immortal Clan resides above the nine heavens, their noble bloodline elevating their status.
“No matter how strong the people from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion become, they are but of a lower bloodline, while the weakest of the Immortal Clan remain incomparably noble.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Bai was somewhat surprised: “Is this what the Supreme Immortal Court is?”
What's the point of establishing such a Supreme Immortal Court?
The Immortal Clan sure dares to dream.
“This is the Supreme Immortal Court as envisioned by the Immortal Clan,” the middle-aged man said calmly:
“If it's such a Supreme Immortal Court, there's no need to establish it.
“But if the Immortal Clan wants to establish a Supreme Immortal Court, then let them.”
“If they succeed, wouldn't that be the Supreme Immortal Court mentioned by my seniors?” Xu Bai asked, puzzled.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said:
“They won't succeed. If they do, it must be the correct Supreme Immortal Court because what they refer to is the Supreme Immortal Court envisioned in ancient times.
“Only such a Supreme Immortal Court could possibly ordain the laws of heaven and earth.
“Otherwise, even with a hundred brains, the Immortal Clan couldn't establish the true Supreme Immortal Court.
“It's not that I'm looking down on them, I just simply think they can't do it,” he said casually while eating meat.
The Supreme Immortal Court doesn't seem as terrifying as imagined.
That's what Xu Bai thought.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man corrected him: “Don't overthink it, the strength of the Immortal Clan is undeniable, they are blessed and surpass all existing races.
“Their power is unfathomable.
“In the Human Emperor's era, no race could compare to them.
“The reason they became the Fallen Immortal Clan is that the many other races have risen, and yet they failed to regard the many other races in their sight.
“They are reaping what they sowed.”
“Today, they are not acting as enemies to the many other races but are trying to rally the many other races to establish the Supreme Immortal Court,” Xu Bai contemplated before saying:
“What would such a Supreme Immortal Court look like?”
“If it's established according to the Immortal Clan's methods, then only one kind of Supreme Immortal Court will emerge,” the middle-aged man said.
“What kind of Supreme Immortal Court is it?” Xu Bai asked.
The middle-aged man put down his bowl and chopsticks and said:
“Then you need to know where the records of the Supreme Immortal Court come from.”
“Where do they come from?” Xu Bai asked.
He really wasn't very clear on the matter.
The middle-aged man had no intention of speaking in riddles and directly said: “The Heavenly Extreme Emperor.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Bai was somewhat surprised, but still somewhat confused.
“Don't ask if you don't understand, you won't understand even if you ask,” the middle-aged man said with a smile:
“While the Heavenly Extreme Emperor was alive, he did many things. The failure of the Supreme Immortal Court left him somewhat helpless, but it seems he did something else.
“Unfortunately, it's been too long, and few know about it.
“Also, the Li Clan has appeared, right?
“That place bears the handiwork of the Heavenly Extreme Emperor, and it contains things needed by the Immortal Clan.
“You could pay attention to it, but who can say whether anyone will be able to balance the forces there?
“There should be many strong ones in the vicinity. You could go and see for yourself.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Bai said somewhat helplessly: “The strong ones hardly have time.”
The middle-aged man was taken aback.
Xu Bai explained: “A Dao fruit has appeared, and they are fighting over it.”
The middle-aged man was silent for a long time before finally saying: “A Dao fruit appeared so soon?”
“Yes, hence the chaos,” Xu Bai said, shaking his head with a sigh.
The middle-aged man laughed and said: “With the appearance of the Dao fruit, the situation should change, which will activate the thing in the Li Clan's territory.
“A masterless Dao fruit can stir certain things, and unless it finds an owner quickly, heaven and earth are in for more chaos.
“No one in this era should be able to suppress the turmoil over there.
“As such, that person should show up.
“With the advent of the great era, a slight misstep could lead to an era of chaos.
“I thought that person would be the last to come out, but it seems now, they might be the first.”
“Who is this person the senior is talking about?” Xu Bai was curious.
He was also curious about what this chaos really was.
But when he asked, the other party did not answer.
He only said, some things he couldn't speak of; speaking of them would change everything and make matters more troublesome.
The dead must have the resolve of the dead.
Thus, Xu Bai knew not to ask too much.
After chatting a bit more, he left.
But regarding these matters, he still had to inform the elders in the sect.
It's just that…
Master isn't here, nor are the other masters, those in seclusion are in seclusion, those who have left have left.
It's a bit troubling at the moment.

Elsewhere.
Jiang Hao returned to his residence.
Cheng Chou came back that very day and related everything he encountered.
He even brought back the people he was sent to retrieve.
Jiang Hao nodded, simply reminding him to be cautious.
