"rule……"
Bai Ke narrowed his eyes, carefully pondering the meaning of Qian San's words. After a moment of contemplation, he said:
"So, what's going on with your current body? Weren't you turned into a weapon spirit? How come you have a physical form?"
"Well, every time the Jade Emperor's selection takes place, about ten thousand people die. Their bodies and souls are turned into nourishment and absorbed by the Immortal Imprisonment Tower. As the spirit of the artifact, I secretly get a little bit each time, so..."
"So you absorbed the bodies and souls of these dead people to create a physical body for yourself! It's just that because of the incompatibility, you occasionally appear in an unstable phantom state!"
Bai Ke's eyes gleamed with confidence, and each of his deductions made Qian San's mouth gape open slightly.
By the end, Qian San's mouth was wide open, almost splitting at the corners, clearly he was extremely shocked.
"Yes, yes, yes! You guessed it perfectly." Qian San looked at Bai Ke with admiration.
In his mind, this mysterious boy was not only cruel and perverse, but also so meticulous in his thoughts and mind, which was truly rare.
Bai Ke ignored Qian San's inner thoughts, pondered for a moment, and then asked:
"If this trial is to select the only Jade Emperor, then why is there a team assessment method?"
"That's normal. There are just too many disciples who can pass the nine-level test, and some people's abilities are suited to team battles. So the selection process will be based on the performance of the contestants, and the elders will score them."
Qian San pointed to the dome of the Immortal Imprisonment Tower and continued, "The person who gets the highest score will be selected as the Jade Emperor, so the individual trial and the team trial are the same, it still depends on your performance."
"I see..." Bai Ke nodded, then looked at Tian Xin's body on the ground, and then asked:
"If you want to resurrect this woman, how exactly would you do it?"
Qian San frowned, peeked out again to check on Tian Xin's condition, and replied after a short while:
"What I told you before wasn't a lie; her life force and soul fragments are indeed still inside the Immortal Imprisonment Tower."
"I only need to activate the immortal energy within the Immortal Imprisonment Tower, gather those things together, stuff them back into this woman's body, and then cast the Soul Returning Spell to revive her."
"Ah, very good."
"Shall we begin to resurrect her?"
"No, why waste the precious immortal essence of the Imprisoning Immortal Tower for her sake?"
Upon hearing Bai Ke's words, Lin Yun and Feng Yu both turned their heads and looked at him in shock.
"But she sacrificed herself to save you. Isn't she an important person to you?" Qian San asked, puzzled.
"You're overthinking it. Whether or not you save her is none of your business! Don't be nosy," Bai Ke reprimanded expressionlessly.
Feng Yu and Lin Yun stared incredulously into Bai Ke's eyes, seeing only cold indifference in them.
"Sigh." Both of them sighed silently, opened their mouths, but in the end said nothing, closed their eyes and continued to meditate and heal their injuries.
Bai Ke, however, paid no attention to Lin Yun and the other person's reaction. He then asked:
"Do you have a way to let me control this Immortal Imprisonment Tower?"
"Of course, but this requires you to reach the ninth-order Loose Immortal realm. Only then can I work with you to erase the mark left by Immortal Miaoyu, re-refine the Immortal Imprisonment Tower, and make it recognize you as its master."
"Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal Realm? What a joke... If that's the case, I still can't control this Immortal Imprisonment Tower, and I can't use its immortal essence either. I might as well revive Tian Xin!" Bai Ke thought to himself with a disappointed expression.
He then composed himself and asked:
"There is no immortal realm in the Mountain and Sea Realm. How exactly did you ascend and transcend tribulations?"
Upon hearing this, Qian San gave him a look as if he were an idiot, but Bai Ke coldly returned his gaze with a cruel smile, causing Qian San to shudder and quickly explain:
"I don't know what you mean by the Immortal Realm... We all went through three great tribulations after breaking through to the Mahayana stage, and finally gained the recognition of the Heavenly Dao of the Universe, stepping into the realm of immortals and gradually ranking among the immortals."
He then scratched his head in confusion and asked Bai Ke:
Why would you ask that? Don't you know?
"How could I possibly know? The Heavenly Dao of the Mountain and Sea Realm has been dead for nearly ten thousand years, and the world has been imprisoned. All the powerful beings are trapped in the Mahayana stage and cannot make any progress. They simply cannot access this kind of knowledge."
"What are you talking about? What do you mean by 'the Way of Heaven is dead'? What do you mean by 'heaven and earth are imprisoned'? That the highest realm is limited to the Mahayana stage? I don't understand what you're saying at all."
Seeing Qian San's bewildered expression, Bai Ke suddenly realized that this guy had been trapped in the sect ruins of Miaoyu Ravine and had no idea what was happening outside.
Having understood this, Bai Ke looked at some...
"Do you know that the ancient cultivation world has been destroyed?"
"What is the ancient cultivation world? The cultivation world...you mean our era...how is that possible! Are you lying to me?"
The young man trembled, looked at Bai Ke in disbelief, and excitedly asked:
"Why would you say that? All I know is that Miaoyu Ravine was most likely destroyed by other sects, because I saw that in just an instant, everyone in Miaoyu Ravine disappeared!"
"Your era is now called the ancient cultivation world by later generations, but it has collapsed. Overnight, all the ancient cultivators disappeared. I have no reason to lie to you."
"I don't believe you! You're talking nonsense!"
"Why should I lie to you?"
Seeing Qian San's resolute disbelief, Bai Ke shook his head and took out several books about modern cultivation from his storage bag, handing them to him to look at.
After carefully reading through the books, Qian San suddenly threw them away, slumped to the ground, and muttered to himself listlessly, his eyes vacant:
"Impossible...impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible, that's just a fact."
Bai Ke looked impatient. He could basically guess Qian San's reaction: shock and disbelief, nothing else. It was quite boring.
"Then, how is the outside world now?" Qian San suddenly asked hurriedly.
"Just like I told you, everything is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt. The Great Ascension stage is enough to make one a regional overlord, dominating the Mountain and Sea Realm," Bai Ke replied.
"The Great Ascension stage is the peak... If I could recover my peak strength and break free from the Immortal Imprisonment Tower... wouldn't I dominate the entire Mountain and Sea Realm?!" Qian San thought to himself.
Seeing Qian San's appearance, Bai Ke guessed pretty much what he was thinking.
"Hehe, don't get ahead of your fantasies, do me a job first..."
