Feeling this familiar yet unknown presence, his Divine Sense found the place where it was coming from.
It was a house located in the middle of the city, surrounded by many Qi Condensation Realm cultivators, most of them in the early and mid stages.
Tian Yongheng could feel that the Chosen One was also in that house.
Yan Jingfei and Lu Qingfeng, also having noticed that house, were curious as to what they were here to do, and the cultivator who had spoken earlier was also waiting nervously.
At this point, Tian Yongheng suddenly asked calmly, "Who lives in the house in the middle of the city surrounded by those Qi Condensation Realm cultivators?"
Hearing his question, the cultivator was dumbstruck for a second before hurriedly replying in fear, "It’s the Old Immortal who lives in that house. He was the one who came to this city centuries ago, which was only a small village with a population of less than a hundred people, and imparted Immortal Arts to our ancestors.
The village turned into its current prosperity because of the Old Immortal’s efforts."
Tian Yongheng was intrigued and asked, "What is the background of this so called Old Immortal you speak of?"
"He is a legendary Immortal Cultivator above the Foundation Establishment Realm, in the Acquired Realm. However, hundreds of years ago, he was severely injured by his enemies and could no longer advance forward. He came to our village at that time to leave behind his legacy. His lifespan has already come to end, and he’s resting in his house right now.
No one knows when he will pass away, so we guard him by his side all the time."
By the end, his expression turned that of sorrow and unwillingness.
He was one of the first Immortal Cultivators hundreds of years ago who had followed the Old Immortal for the longest time and had reached the Ninth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm.
He had the highest chances of breaking through and becoming this city’s first Foundation Establishment Realm powerhouse.
Even though he had already known that the people before him were at least in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he also knew that even Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators couldn’t sense something that far away.
This city was quite big, and there were tens of thousands of people here.
However, they were only standing on the outskirts, and the centre of the city was still dozens of miles away.
The person in front of him was undoubtedly in the legendary Acquired Realm, or even the illusory Innate Realm!
He also knew of the Golden Core Realm, but the Old Immortal did not tell him anything after that and he thought that the Golden Core Realm was the top existence.
He of course knew there were realms above, but no one, not even the Old Immortal had come into contact with them till now.
He was worried that the Old Immortal’s enemies had learned of this place and come here to take revenge, which was why he was so vigilant towards outsiders.
Tian Yongheng could easily probe into that house and figure out what it was all about through his Divine Sense. Even Lu Qingfeng, the weakest of them right now, could do that.
But he didn’t do it and instead asked, "Can you bring me to visit that Old Immortal? I’m not an enemy. Otherwise, I would’ve already flattened this entire city the moment I sensed that presence."
He emphasized the last sentence, clearly giving his stance.
The cultivator in front of him also understood immediately.
That’s right. The other party is probably powerful enough to slaughter this entire city.
There’s no point in asking if he really is an enemy.
Thinking of this, he secretly let out a sigh of relief and started to show the way, still somewhat cautious.
As the cultivators led the way, Tian Yongheng and the other two followed him, occasionally asking questions.
As they arrived at the house located in the middle of the city, the cultivators guarding it showed respectful expressions to the cultivator leading Tian Yongheng and the others.
This showed that he indeed possessed a high status in this place.
None of them objected and cleared the way for them to enter the house.
The feeling of familiarity that Tian Yongheng felt grew stronger and stronger, making him feel uneasy. The intuitions of someone with a cultivation as high as his own were rarely wrong.
As they entered the house, what met their gazes were tens of people everywhere. This house only had a single room and bed, which was surrounded by Immortal Cultivators.
Tian Yongheng’s gaze landed on a small child by the bedside, his long white hair draping over his shoulders and youthful face full of vitality.
He looked to be about 5 or 6 years old, and was extremely adorable. However, his pupils were like swords facing upwards, an extremely domineering Sword Intent gathering inside of them.
One could tell at a glance that he wasn’t an ordinary child.
A screen appeared in front of Tian Yongheng, containing information of the Chosen One who was only a child right now.
[Jian Qi: No Cultivation.
Descendant of the True Immortal. Providence Bearer of Sword Dao. Supreme Invincible Heart. He is the descendent of a True Immortal from the Upper Realm, possessing the great Connate Providence of the Sword Dao and destined to be an unparalleled Sword Immortal feared by gods and demons alike.
His Supreme Invincible Heart is unyielding and his will is firm, capable of finding a way out even in the most desperate of situations and never losing hope.]
So this is the Chosen One!
Tian Yongheng was secretly happy that he had not grown up or started cultivating yet. It would be difficult for this fellow to become a threat to him in the future.
But still, he is the Providence Bearer of Sword Dao after all. He is undoubtedly a genius hard to come by and should be on par with Sun Hao despite not possessing any special Sword Dao related Connate Providence.
However, being the Providence Bearer of Sword Dao is still the greatest Sword Dao related Connate Providence one can get!
It’s like being blessed by the Sword Dao itself!
For some reason, Tian Yongheng felt that Jian Qi was one of the most outstanding Chosen Ones he had encountered so far.
Of course that was excluding himself, as his Connate Providences were too absurd to be considered that of a simple Chosen One.
Speaking of which, he still did not know the origins of the system, and they were probably not simple from what he knew thus far.
To be able to directly give him so many great treasures, materials, and even Connate Providences, he felt that the system must be above the level of the Three Pure Ones of mythology at least.
It had given him the Jade Pure Bloodline and the Divine Scripture of the Primordial Beginning, both of which belonged to the Jade Pure One, after all.
There was also a chance that the system was created by the Jade Pure One himself for some reason, but he felt that was definitely not the case for some reason.
Above the Jade Pure One...who could be above the Three Pure Ones?
After thinking of this for some time, he cleared his mind. It was not something he could guess for the time being.
He had to cultivate well, and all mysteries will be solved one day.
As he and his two disciples stepped into the room along with that cultivator from before, all the gazes landed on them.
No one dared to probe their cultivation base as that cultivator had already informed them via voice transmission of Tian Yongheng and the other two’s mysterious identity and unfathomable cultivation.
However, all of them developed favorability for Tian Yongheng the moment they saw him, and the women’s favorability was even higher.
Even Jian Qi was stunned upon seeing his appearance and glanced at him curiously.

Both Yan Jingfei and Lu Qingfeng felt intrigued by him. They naturally understood that this child was not simple by any means and instinctively thought that he must be the reason why their master had stopped here.
At this moment, Tian Yongheng’s gaze finally landed on the figure lying on the bed.
His body was as thin as a stick and he looked very weak. His white hair and beard were withered, and his face was full of wrinkles.
He had his eyes closed, but upon closer inspection, Tian Yongheng figured out that he was indeed a Acquired Realm cultivator at the end of his lifespan.
He had fatal inner injuries which could not be healed by ordinary means. Even Tian Yongheng himself was somewhat shocked to see that.
However, at this moment, he suddenly seemed to recall something as his hands slightly clenched.
He finally understood what this sense of familiarity was.
Impossible...
Thousands of emotions flooded his mind, but he could not express them on his face at all. This expressionless face was no less than a curse for him at this point.
He slowly called out in a calm, indifferent voice, but overwhelming emotions.
"Uncle Hai?"
