An old man walked out from the darkness and appeared before Zhao Qingshan.

"You're Zhao Tianzhu?" Zhao Qingshan asked first.

"Yes." The old man nodded.

"You're actually still alive. I'm afraid you're already over 150 years old." Zhao Qingshan said.

"Pretty much. I also forgot how old I am." When the old man named Zhao Tie-zhu said this, he sighed and continued, "I've lived for too long."

Zhao Qingshan knitted his brows and looked at Zhao Tianzhu.

Zhao Tie-zhu's face was different from his master's, and his figure was also different.

Previously, he had always suspected that his master might be Zhao Tie-zhu, but now, it seemed that his master was not Zhao Tie-zhu.

"I've heard that the reason you've lived so long is because when Wang Xiaosi left, he left a seed of cultivation on your body. That's why you've lived so long." Zhao Qingshan said.

"You know quite a lot." He then said, "As the champion of this year's World's Strongest Martial Arts Competition, you can ask me a question, but as long as I know, I will definitely answer you."

"A question?" Zhao Qingshan asked.

"Yes!" Zhao Tiezhu nodded.

Zhao Qingshan stared at Zhao Tie-zhu, as if he wanted to see something from his old face. However, Zhao Tie-zhu's expression was very calm, even if he was looking at him, it would not change in the slightest.

Suddenly, Zhao Qingshan's sword force abruptly shot out and descended onto Zhao Tietu's body.

The corner of Zhao Tie-zhu's mouth slightly raised, and then, Zhao Tie-zhu whistled.

After a whistle, Zhao Qingshan's expression changed as if she was struck by lightning, and she abruptly retreated several steps.

"Might?" Zhao Qingshan's chest rose and fell as he asked in shock.

"Is that a problem for you?" Zhao Tianzhu asked.

"Not really." Zhao Qingshan shook his head.

"Then I won't answer." Zhao Tianzhu said.

Hearing Zhao Tianzhu's words, Zhao Qingshan fell silent for a long time. Then, Zhao Qingshan opened her mouth and said, "I only have one question, I hope you can help me answer it."

"Go ahead."

"Can humans really live forever?" Zhao Qingshan asked.

"Sure." Zhao Tianzhu said.

"Then I understand!" Zhao Qingshan nodded and said, "I have no more questions."

Immortality is an eternal topic. Countless people are pursuing immortality, but many people's methods are wrong. As long as the method is correct, the person can continue to exist eternally. Zhao Tianzhu said.

"En!" Zhao Qingshan nodded.

"Alright, from now on, I'll send you to your master's place and let you accept all of his inheritance." As he spoke, Zhao Tiezhu snapped his fingers.

Beams of white light rose from the ground and completely enveloped Zhao Qingshan.

"You know my Master?" Zhao Qingshan asked.

"That's the second question." Zhao Tie-zhu's voice rang out, and soon after, Zhao Qingshan disappeared from Zhao Tie-zhu's sight.

Watching Zhao Qingshan disappear, Zhao Tie-zhu looked up at the sky with a slightly depressed expression.

At this moment, Wang Xiaosi appeared beside Zhao Tianzhu.

"Only Xu Taiping passed the final test." Wang Xiaosi said.

"Yes." Zhao Tiezhu nodded and didn't say anything else.

"Since someone has passed the test, can we start the final plan?" Wang Xiaosi asked.

"Let's wait a little longer." Zhao Tianzhu said.

"Wait for what?" Wang Xiaosi asked.

"Wait a moment." Zhao Tianzhu said.

Wang Xiaosi was puzzled, but did not say anything.

On the other side.

With a flash of white light, Xu Taiping appeared in an unknown mountain.

Xu Taiping squatted down to take a look and found a few things on the ground that he couldn't identify.

These things were scattered around him, smoking, as if they were broken.

"Russell, these, what exactly are these things?" Xu Taiping asked as he picked up one of the items.

"I don't know, these are some kind of mechanical parts. When they combine together, it seems like they can cause some kind of space to collapse, ultimately forming something similar to a mini wormhole. That's why they were able to instantly appear in another place after you disappeared from one place." Russell explained.

"Miniature wormhole?" You mean, the basic principle of a teleportation formation is a mini wormhole? " Xu Taiping asked.

"Perhaps this is the case, Master. In the Dragon Abyss, I detected the existence of many mechanical devices." Russell said.

"Mechanical equipment? "What do you mean?!" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.

"I don't know the specifics, because when I first began to investigate, I discovered an existence more advanced than me in artificial intelligence, which is the so-called Little Er Wang. After that, I forcefully put myself into a hibernating state, in order to avoid Wang Xiaosi's detection." Russell said.

"What?" You said that Wang Xiaosi is also a high level artificial intelligence?! " Xu Taiping asked in shock.

"Yes, the impact that Wang Xiaosi has is due to his virtual imaging technique. Therefore, one can be sure that this Wang Xiaosi is a high level artificial intelligence." Russell said.

"How is that possible? Didn't Wang Xiaosi say that he was an Immortal Soul Cultivator? Could he be lying? But why would he lie? " Xu Taiping frowned and asked.

Russell did not speak, seemingly unable to answer Xu Taiping's question.

After thinking for a long time, Xu Taiping could not come up with an answer. He could only put this matter to the back of his mind for now, and after that, Xu Taiping let Russell control the Hongjun fighter jet from a distance to fly him to Huaxia.

An hour later, the fighter jet steadily landed in the Xu family's courtyard.

Xu Taiping got off the plane and walked towards the house on the side.

Before he entered the room, Xu Taiping's phone rang.

Xu Taiping looked at the caller and picked up the phone.

"Xu, it's such a pity, you didn't obtain the title of the strongest person in the world. Although your actions touched me, you still lost!" On the other end of the line came the agitated voice of Chu Ye's president, Daun.

"I will have the Pangu delivered to your land within three days." Xu Taiping said.

"Haha, alright, we'll be waiting for it!" Daun said.

Xu Taiping hung up and walked into the house.

Perhaps it was because he had lived in the illusion for too long, but when Xu Taiping walked into the house, he felt a trace of unfamiliarity.

However, this little bit of strangeness, when Xu Taiping saw Xia Jinxuan, Song Jia, and Emma sitting in the living room, he immediately disappeared.

"Peace!" Xia Jinxuan stood up excitedly, not caring about her big belly as she charged straight towards Xu Taiping.

"Slow down!" Song Jia Niu quickly called out.

"Slow down." As Xu Taiping spoke, he walked a few steps towards Xia Jinxuan.

Xia Jinxuan opened up her arms and hugged Xu Taiping.

"Taiping, you're finally back. We've missed you so much." Xia Jinxuan said excitedly.

"I didn't walk for long, did I?" Xu Taiping asked.

"You've already left for more than half a month, you haven't left for long." Song Jia said.

"Half a month? "That long?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.

"Yes, but we all know what you've done in the past half month, especially when you decisively used the Demon Sealing Wave just now for Jin Xuan and the child inside her stomach. You didn't know that Jin Xuan was crying the moment she saw this!" Song Jia said.

"How could you guys see these things?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Don't you know that all your performances in the game have been shown to the entire world through a live broadcast?" Song Jia asked in the same way.

"Game?" Xu Taiping frowned and asked, "What game?"

"It's this game called the Cultivator's World. It says on the TV that all of you have entered into a game called the Cultivator's World. This game creates a world that combines reality and virtual reality. Moreover, he will make a difference depending on the situation of the person."

Many people are looking forward to this game right now. I'm watching TV and saying that you guys seem to be the players inside the game, and the first person among you to kill that boss dragon is the champion of this year's World's Strongest Martial Arts Tournament. Don't you know all this? " Song Jia asked.

"I don't know." Xu Taiping shook his head. He had heard from Russell that Wang Xiaosi was an artificial intelligence, and now that he heard from Song Jia Lun that the illusion world he entered was a game, all of this threw Xu Taiping into great confusion. He could not understand at all what those things in the Dragon Abyss were, and what was the purpose of this finals of the world's strongest martial arts gathering?

In any case, your performance made all of us feel proud of you. Although you did not get first place, you are willing to give up everything for the one we love. In our hearts, you are far more outstanding than any other people. Xia Jinxuan said emotionally.

As soon as Xia Jinxuan finished speaking, Xia Jinxuan's expression suddenly changed. Soon after, Xia Jinxuan covered her stomach and cried out, "Aiya, my stomach is hurting."

"Stomach pain? It's about to be born?! " Xu Taiping asked in surprise.

"I don't know. It hurts all of a sudden." Xia Jinxuan said.

"Immediately send him to the hospital!" Xu Taiping shouted.

"Yes sir!"

Half an hour later, at a hospital in Jiang Yuan City.

Xu Taiping paced back and forth anxiously in front of the delivery room.

Xia Jinxuan had already been sent to the delivery room, but it wasn't clear when exactly she would be born.

Although Xu Taiping had already become a father, he was still very excited this time.

More than an hour later.

The delivery room door opened.

Xia Jinxuan was pushed out.

Beside Xia Jinxuan's head, there was a baby wrapped in a towel.

"Congratulations, Mr Xu. It's a tomboy." The nurse said with a smile.
