I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

```

Of course, Li Xuan had already reached the Establishing Dao Realm in four out of the five martial arts disciplines he practiced, with the only exception being Physical Body Martial Arts. With such strength, he truly did not need to worry about Tian Zi.

Tian Zi's heart was once again filled with shock; just a sliver of his true form's power was already so unfathomably deep. Just how formidable was his real strength?

"Elder, are you really very, very strong?"

Tian Zi couldn't help but ask again.

"In your eyes, what is the state of being strong? In my heart, there is no concept of strength, for everything I have seen is weak and feeble, including this Domain."

Li Xuan shook his head as he spoke.

Tian Zi was momentarily stupefied. Even the Taicang Domain was weak in his eyes; how could he not be strong?

Even that terrifying person wouldn't dare to underestimate the Taicang Domain.

If the Taicang Domain wasn't strong, it would not still exist to this day.

Yet in his eyes, such a mighty Domain was so feeble?

Taking a deep breath, Tian Zi decided to probe him.

The battle between Taicang and that terrifying person was earth-shattering and resonated for a lengthy period. If he knew of this battle, it meant he was from the same era as Taicang and the others.

If not, then he was a later generation, but could his strength really be so unbelievably immense?

"While I was trapped here, a battle erupted. I do not remember how long ago it was, only that it stirred the Domain for tens of thousands of years and was not short-lived even beyond the heavens."

"Elder, do you know of this battle, and what was the outcome?"

Tian Zi stared at Li Xuan with wide-open eyes.

"You've learned to test me? What is Tian Zi planning to reveal? That battle must have been the origin of the shift in the Domain back then."

Li Xuan was slightly surprised in his heart, but his face remained calm and composed.

He naturally didn't know of that battle and hadn't seen it, and he was clueless about the outcome.

However, as a peerless master with unfathomable depths...

Li Xuan had already crafted for himself a mysterious and prestigious identity.

Especially after reaching the Establishing Dao Realm, his insight into the world beyond the Domain had prepared him somewhat.

Moreover, since he wanted to learn the secrets of the Domain from Tian Zi, he naturally needed a good reason, without diminishing the image of him being an enigmatic master.

So, Tian Zi's question was hardly a challenge for Li Xuan.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"The battle you mentioned, well, that happened quite some time ago. A bunch of little guys causing a ruckus indeed stirred things up, even woke me from my sleep."

"Kids fighting, that's quite normal. This Taoist Ancestor has seen too many of them, and there have been more intense fights than the one you mentioned."

"So, this Taoist Ancestor simply found a different spot and went back to sleep."

"As for the outcome, this Taoist Ancestor couldn't be bothered to find out. In the fights I've seen, that one was just a small affair, not worth mentioning."

Li Xuan nodded, speaking nonchalantly as if narrating a story about a group of kids brawling.

Tian Zi was completely dumbfounded.

Experience more tales on empire

Such a fierce battle was just kids fighting in his account?

Why was there a sense that he was exaggerating?

Shocked yet curious, Tian Zi pressed, "You say you've seen more than one such battle?"

Li Xuan nodded and replied, "Of course, the battle you mentioned was just a minor skirmish."

"Who exactly are you, then? Do you know Taicang?"

Tian Zi couldn't restrain himself from asking.

Moved by the question, Li Xuan thought of Taicang.

The owner of the Book of Taicang?

The Master of the Domain?

"Taicang?"

Li Xuan pretended to recollect before nodding, "I've heard of a little fellow named Taicang. Quite talented!"

That's it?

Tian Zi was even more astounded by the mention of Taicang, and to Li Xuan, Taicang was just a talented kid!

"Taicang has lived for a very, very long time. He existed before the Domain. If you call Taicang a little fellow, then how long have you lived?"

Tian Zi was unsettled now, discarding certain secrets he shouldn't have spoken about.

Li Xuan was inwardly shaken. Was Taicang really that formidable?

```

```

Could it be before the Domain itself?

"No, the Taicang Domain, could it have been created by him?"

Li Xuan was astonished. If that were true, Taicang's strength would naturally surpass his current Establishing Dao Realm.

Tian Zi had already begun to loosen up, and now was the perfect time to coax him and probe for secrets.

Li Xuan sipped his tea, his gaze deep. The Taoist Ancestor Halo and the mysterious aura, along with the Great Wilderness Physiognomy, all began vaguely to surface as if he were recalling the past, and his true form involuntarily revealed itself bit by bit.

In Tian Zi's heart, there was some doubt whether Li Xuan was boasting, but at this moment, upon seeing the Taoist Ancestor Halo, the mysterious aura, and the Great Wilderness Physiognomy again, all skepticism instantly vanished like smoke!

This person must be an unimaginably terrifying existence.

This faint and indiscernible true form was far beyond what Taicang could compare with, and even Taicang with that terrifying individual did not possess such arcane profundity.

"How long has this Taoist Ancestor lived?"

Li Xuan sighed and exclaimed, "I don't know how long it has been. When I established my Dao, the Dao had not yet been born, time did not exist, the void was barren, and even Chaos itself did not exist..."

It was just a bit of exaggeration, naturally inflating the story quite a bit.

Li Xuan was confident in his ability to boast.

Tian Zi listened, stunned and scratching his head, as the whole person became dumbfounded.

"...I have seen so many powerful beings, also guided many, and I have created many Paths of Cultivation.

"I have traveled far on the Dao.

"Some call me the Ancestor of Martial Arts, others the Prime Divine Demon of Chaos, and still others the Ancestor of the Dao... Of course, now there are also those who call me the Great Wilderness Martial Ancestor.

"Of course, my favorite title is still that of the Taoist Ancestor."

After such a round of bragging, Li Xuan felt quite refreshed inside.

Tian Zi was completely bewildered. Was this person so powerful as to be unimaginable?

He had established his Dao before the Dao itself was born, before time existed?

Both a Divine Demon of Chaos and an Ancestor of the Dao, it sounded terrifying to hear.

"...I have seen too many beings perish, so many that eventually, I simply found a place to sleep, not looking, not caring, not asking,

"Those youngsters, too greedy, constantly fighting. It became somewhat annoying, so now I have woken up to see this Domain, I just came in for a little stroll.

"Youngster, you have experienced too little, you don't know what it's like to be invincibly lonely."

Li Xuan let out a sigh, as if he had lived too long, seen too much, and had become numb to it all, now merely seeking some amusement to pass the time.

"Just as I said, this Domain is too weak, lacking something. It's an incomplete Domain, it only has its rules, and even this powerful Domain in your eyes is just so-so."

Li Xuan's gaze seemed to be recalling something, "So many eons ago, there was a being wielding a giant axe, who split the heavens and earth, creating a vast Domain.

"That Domain consisted of three Realms, had Reincarnation, and was far superior to this one.

"Regrettably, even the mightiest Domains cannot withstand turmoil, and in the end, became a mess, and probably have vanished into the river of time by now."

Tian Zi swallowed, his face a mask of shock. There had been Domains before Taicang?

And moreover, infinitely more powerful ones?

Such a powerful Domain, too, has disappeared into the river of time.

Exactly how long has this senior lived?

It's too terrifying.

Even Tian Zi at this moment felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

"Senior, does that mean you knew my identity all along?"

Tian Zi cautiously inquired.

At this point, he somewhat believed that Li Xuan already knew his identity.

"Would I lie to a youngster like you?"

Li Xuan said with a feigned surprise and a smile.

At that moment, the Primordial Spirit's hand opened the Daoist Golden Book, shining upon Tian Zi and displaying his information on the pages, line by line.

"Spirit of the Taicang Domain, Origin of the Domain, transformed by the Open Heaven Purple Light..."

The Spirit of the Taicang Domain!

Li Xuan, while having had some suspicions that Tian Zi was no ordinary being and probably had a deep connection with the Taicang Domain, had not imagined that he would be the Spirit of the Taicang Domain.

Now, he also understood why Tian Zi was trapped in this place.

The one who trapped him here must be the Master of the Taicang Domain, Taicang!
