CHAPTER 1217: CHAPTER 798: SYSTEM AND DAOSHEATH

Xiang Beifei hadn’t returned to Jiuzhou in a long time, and the familiar atmosphere made him feel nostalgic.

But the vortex swirling in the giant cauldron brought him more than just a feeling of nostalgia; it carried an even more eerie presence.

He knew very well what this presence was, and even thinking about it left him astonished for a while!

Alternate Space Vortex!

Back when he was in Jiuzhou, Xiang Beifei was only at the Meridian Opening stage, relying on his mastery of the system to break into the Nine Provinces Archives.

The Nine Provinces Archives was one of the most strongly guarded places in all of Jiuzhou. He still remembered Wu Wen mentioning the various powerful system abilities, like the forty-nine defensive labyrinth paths, the eighty-one system formation paths, and nineteen powerful dimensional spaces, which made the SSR Level Awakeners venture into the alternate space vortex with no return...

The presence here was exactly that of the Alternate Space Vortex!

"Why is this vortex like this?"

Xiang Beifei felt something was amiss.

He recalled related matters of the Nine Provinces Archives.

At that time, the various system abilities outside the Nine Provinces Archives were basically ignored by him, and the so-called Alternate Space Vortex seemed nonexistent to him. Back then, he simply thought it was another system ability, not worth mentioning.

Later, in the Outer Wilderness, he destroyed the Eternal Night Demon King and rescued Helian Zheng, who had been captured by the Meat-Winged Monster.

Helian Zheng was originally an unrestrained SSR Level Awakener. After their leader Kalavinka disappeared, he followed Xiang Tianxing’s instructions to investigate the matters of the Desert Stone Cave, inadvertently discovering that the Moon God Race had imprisoned humans in Changpan Valley, leading to his own capture.

Helian Zheng had told him about the mystery of Kalavinka’s disappearance.

The unrestrained leader Kalavinka had sensed a mysterious power in Jiuzhou, a power seemingly manipulating humans and threatening Jiuzhou’s safety. He was persistently searching for the source of this power and eventually locked onto the Jiuzhou Archive Building.

Back then, a power clash erupted at the Jiuzhou Archive Building. To provide an explanation to the outside world, the Jiuzhou Alliance fabricated a story about "Kalavinka battling the so-called Artificial Intelligence God, and in the end, Kalavinka being suppressed by the Artificial Intelligence God."

But in fact, in Xiang Beifei’s eyes, the so-called Artificial Intelligence God was nothing more than an artificial idiot, incapable of defeating Kalavinka.

According to Helian Zheng, Kalavinka fought fiercely in the Jiuzhou Archive Building to seal off this power. He successfully sealed it, sending word for Helian Zheng to find Xiang Tianxing, and then vanished.

"Was the power Kalavinka mentioned referring to this vortex?"

The more Xiang Beifei thought about it, the more astonished he became.

The vortex in the cauldron was too familiar, exactly like the one outside the Nine Provinces Archives, there was no mistake about it.

Could it be that the Alternate Space Vortex outside the Nine Provinces Archives leads here?

This thought made Xiang Beifei feel uneasy.

Xiaohei said, "I remember Helian Zheng saying that Kalavinka sealed the Alternate Space Vortex; if that’s true, I don’t quite understand how Kalavinka accomplished it. At most, he was only a half-step into the Immortal Realm, right? I remember Uncle Luo saying that if the Human Race doesn’t sever their Dao, they can’t reach the Immortal Realm, right?"

When Xiang Beifei was in Jiuzhou, no one in Jiuzhou had achieved the strength to break through to the Immortal Realm. The strongest person he knew was Luo Yunxian!

On the side, Luo Shanyou asked, "Who are you talking about?"

Xiang Beifei turned and said, "Has Shibo ever heard of Kalavinka? Did he come to Edge Corner Airspace to look for the Human Race?"

"Kalavinka?"

Luo Shanyou was momentarily stunned.

"A UR System Awakener, who left the Jiuzhou Alliance and became the leader of Jiuzhou’s unrestrained."

Xiang Beifei extended his fingers, deliberately writing the characters for "Kalavinka" in spiritual power on his palm for Luo Shanyou to see.

"Unrestrained, Kalavinka."

Luo Shanyou’s face suddenly took on a strange expression.

"Shibo, you should know about the unrestrained, right?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"Why suddenly ask about this?" Luo Shanyou asked.

"Because I remembered some things related to the unrestrained." Xiang Beifei said.

Luo Shanyou was silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Before I left Jiuzhou, I was the leader of the unrestrained."

"Ah?"

Xiang Beifei was stunned.

This news was something he had never expected!

"Uncle Luo, were you the unrestrained leader Kalavinka?"

Xiaohei stared at Luo Shanyou with wide eyes.

Xiang Beifei said, "No, the timeline doesn’t match up. I remember Shibo left Jiuzhou over fifty years ago, and the Kalavinka incident was over twenty years ago."

"Kalavinka’s original name was Luo Kaimo. He was my son. Before I left Jiuzhou to search for answers, I handed the unrestrained over to him." Luo Shanyou calmly said.

"Son?"

Xiang Beifei and Xiaohei exchanged a look, both equally shocked!

Neither of them had ever considered it might be this!

"What, Luo Yunxian never mentioned this to you?" Luo Shanyou snorted coldly.

"He didn’t mention it. Wait, what exactly is going on?"

Xiang Beifei had never inquired about what Luo Shanyou did in Jiuzhou and seemed to find no records about him in Jiuzhou.

Now, thinking back, if Luo Shanyou was unrestrained, everything seems to make sense.

Because in the Jiuzhou archives, there were basically no records of the unrestrained.

"Do you think why I and Luo Yunxian had opposing views? Why did I leave Jiuzhou? Why did I decisively sever my Dao?"
