Chapter 358: Advancement of plans
Chapter 358 – Plan Advancement
A hint of arrogance and impatience appeared between the black-robed old man’s brows as he stared indifferently at Zhuge Yun, who was prostrate on the ground.
The atmosphere in the elegant room was instantly tense because of this sudden change.
“What else can you guys do besides trusting me? If it weren’t for the fact that there are still places where you can be used, cultivators like you and the others wouldn’t even have the qualifications to speak with me!”
The black-robed old man got up, arrogantly glanced at Zhuge Yun, and left the elegant room.
“Remember what I said with you, honestly stay in the city, if you are smart, don’t blame me for being unforgiving. Although there are many rules in this damn place, I have my own means of not touching the rules!”
As these words dissipated, the black-robed old man completely left.
“Senior brother, are you alright?”
Kong Huan worriedly glanced at Zhuge Yun, that black-robed old man was really a bit temperamental, but he flipped out after asking one more question.
Zhuge Yun shook his head and silently wiped the blood from his lips.
He knew in his heart that that person was merely using the opportunity to establish authority and pinch the four people firmly in the palm of his hand.
Fu Yun Shan’s eyes flashed with a hint of worry, ”Then what should we do now? Are we really going to do nothing and just wait?”
Zhuge Yun was silent for a long time, “Let’s wait for a period of time first, anyway, we don’t have any other method to leave now.”
Xu Chuniang nodded, “The other party’s cultivation is at least in the late Jindan stage, and in the face of a few of our tiny Foundation Establishment disciples, it’s understandable that they are unwilling to disclose too much information.”
A few people discussed the situation and decided to stay put for now and familiarize themselves with the situation in the city.
Although they had a certain understanding of the rules of the city, it was too one-sided in the end. If they wanted to survive in the city, these were still far from enough.
After a brief thought, Zhuge Yun summoned a teahouse fellow and inquired in detail about the city’s big and small news.
An hour later, the fellow led a bag of spirit stones and left happily.
Kong Huan tsked, “According to what that man said, advancing to Jindan in this space, there is actually no thunder tribulation, so it seems that it is much easier to conjure up a dan here than in the Qian Luo Realm.”
“Don’t you think this is a good thing? There is no thunder tribulation after advancement because the rules of this place are incomplete, and the Jindan that is condensed is at best considered a pseudo Jindan.”
Zhuge Yun put down his teacup and got up to walk towards the outside, “Let’s go to that part of the West City first, and find a place to settle down.”
In the next period of time, several people slowly adapted to life in the city, and gained a better understanding of this part of the world opened up by this Evil Eye Beast.
This heaven and earth was named the Thousand Eyes Realm by the Evil Eye Beast, and had existed for at least thousands of years.
Of course, the cultivators who were forcibly captured did not recognize this name, and they privately called this place the False Realm.
The Evil Eye Beast had refined its eyes into portals connecting this realm to the Qian Luo Realm, and through thousands of portals, it had captured the cultivators.
A portion of the cultivators, in order to be able to break away from this place, went on the path of procreating offspring, and the descendants they bred became the first aborigines in this world.
With more and more cultivators and aborigines, the entire Thousand Eyes Realm slowly developed into what it is today.
It was just a matter of mortals being trapped in the False Realm for a short period of a hundred years, but for the cultivators, this place was nothing more than a more spacious cage.
No matter how talented a cultivator is, in the case of incomplete laws of heaven and earth, he can only stop at the pseudo-dan realm.
At this time, it had already been a year since the four of them first came to the Pseudo Realm.
Kong Huan was a bit puzzled, “This Evil Eye Beast has the cultivation of the God Transformation Stage, why doesn’t it head to the Upper Realm, instead, it went to great lengths to make such a world, what exactly does it want?”
“Didn’t Senior Brother Zhuge say that in the Upper Realm, a God Transformation Cultivator is nothing, perhaps it feels it is safer to stay near the Qian Luo Realm.”
Fu Yunshan guessed, “But what does it want by getting so many mortals out?” “I once read in an ancient book in the hidden scripture pavilion that said if you can get mortals to make sincere offerings, you can gain wishing power. It deified itself in front of the mortals, perhaps it is collecting wish power.”
Zhuge Yun was not too sure, the ancient book he saw was too old and tattered, and there was only one or two vague mentions about wish power.
Xu Chuniang spoke slowly after pondering.
“To be able to make a God Transformation Great Demon spend thousands of years on operations, it must be that this wish power is extremely important to the Evil Eye Beast. Perhaps we can try and start from this aspect ……”
“Haha, you few juniors, you can surprise me every time. Just wish power this kind of thing, even I do not dare to touch, moreover it is not something that you guys can easily dip into!”
A voice rang out abruptly, and the black-robed old man stepped into the wind and arrived.
When they met again, the four of them were no longer as startled as they were the first time.
Since the other party did not make a move against them, there was naturally a use for a few people.
The black-robed old man raised his eyebrows slightly, he had selected quite a few newcomers in the past year, but in terms of boldness and insight, none of them were as good as the four people in front of him.
Originally, he wanted to examine them for a few more years, but now that the situation had changed, he had to plan ahead.
Zhuge Yun arched his hand as a salute, as if he had forgotten about the last time his body had suffered a dark injury and had been recuperating for several months.
“Senior has come this time, but is the time right?”
“Not bad, it has reached the final stage of preparation.”
The black-robed elder nodded, “At that time, I will send someone, to come and guide the four of you out of the city. You only need to follow that person.”
Zhuge Yun’s throat moved, and he finally spoke without being humble, “Please also tell me clearly what you need us to do, senior.”
The black-robed elder stared at him coldly, and just when a few people thought he would become angry, they heard a soft laugh.
“There’s no harm in telling you guys in advance, but you guys have to think about it, after getting on my ship, there’s no room for backtracking.”
He had a smile on his face, but the threatening intent revealed in his words was self-evident.
After a short period of silence, Xu Chuniang softly said, “It’s our good fortune to have senior point out a clear path for us, so please do not be stingy with your advice.”
The black-robed elder’s voice slowly drifted in.
“It is necessary for you guys to make a move and deal with some demonic beasts. Of course, you will encounter dangers and may even die. But if you survive, you will be qualified to follow me.”
The four of them knew in their hearts that the black-robed old man had definitely omitted the crucial part of what he said.
However, thinking about the other party’s cultivation, as well as what he was scheming, his willingness to reveal this information was already proof of sincerity.
After all, to find another way to escape from this place, in a sense, was to make an enemy of the Evil Eye Beast at the God Transformation Stage.
Xu Chuniang nodded, “Then before senior sends someone, I wonder if I can head to the Battle Hall to participate in the challenge?”
She had long wanted to go to the Battle Hall for a challenge, but only because the other party had left a message last time, saying that they should be honest and honorable, that was why she hadn’t gone.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, it was the right time to ask if it was feasible.
Upon hearing this, the black-robed old man looked at her with an odd expression, “You actually want to go to the Battle Hall?”
