This unexpected guest knocked on the door of the mansion. Although the force was not strong, it was enough for , in the depths of the mansion, to hear. I sensed briefly and was able to discern the identity of this guest. It was Weichi.
Probably here to inquire about the Great Demon Qilin. Since my mana fluctuations are similar to those of the Catastrophe Demon, it's no wonder the mana fluctuations of the Great Unpredictable Qilin and the Great Demon Qilin are similar as well. Weichi would exhibit such an undying attitude towards the Old Fist God because of his love for his deceased wife, the Qilin. And after countless years, the Qilin's mana fluctuations reappearing in this world would surely shake Weichi's heart.
But Fa Zheng is still busy pulling Jian Feixian, engaged in rescuing the ordinary people affected by the Doomsday Chaos Space-Ti. Weichi wants to find the old superior to thoroughly understand the ins and outs, but can't manage to do so. Finding soone in the Doomsday Chaos Space-Ti is an enormous difficulty, whether it's him of Great Success Rank, or others of Great Unpredictable needing to exert much effort first. The only one he could find currently is .
I plan to go to greet the guest first, while Mazao perhaps thinks it's inconvenient to disturb our conversation and heads over to Zhu Shi's side.
Zhu Shi is currently engaged in closed-door cultivation, like a master in those martial arts stories. I heard she rented a cultivation chamber at the Luoshan Headquarters that isolates all external disturbances, dedicated entirely to communing with the Yama Sword. That's why, even though Mazao and Little Bowl appeared earlier, she did not; the incident on my side has probably yet to reach her ears.
But Mazao still visits Zhu Shi periodically, partly to use the Power of Return to temporarily restore her Right Positioning Heavenly Phenona ability, helping to accelerate cultivation progress, and partly to serve as supervision. Although without supervision, I trust Zhu Shi wouldn't slack in her cultivation, having soone watching and not watching would affect the practitioner's mindset differently. So people might feel focused when there's no one watching; Zhu Shi evidently isn't that solitary type.
Little Bowl is sowhat interested in Weichi. Being the sa as the Void Envoy, despite hearing so information about Weichi from my mouth, seeing is believing. As for the area Weichi is most skilled at, array formations, it overlaps sowhat with Little Bowl's Right Positioning Heavenly Phenona; it's unknown what kind of chemistry their encounter might yield.
I naturally had no reason to refuse and brought Little Bowl to the mansion's reception room, saying remotely towards the direction of the door: "Please co in."
From a distance, the mansion's main door automatically opened. Not because the door had voice recognition functionality, but because the main door understood my words. My proficiency in the Order Ability regarding all things by nature as the Great Unpredictable is becoming ever more proficient. Weichi also heard my voice and walked past the threshold towards my direction, nonchalantly. Soon, we t face to face in the reception room.
Weichi was in his usual attire, wearing a white Unpredictable uniform, appearing burdened with concerns, with signs of fatigue and weariness unique to long hours of desk work on his face. Surely he'd exert much effort recently studying the "Du Shuo Mountain" technical materials.
He greeted first and then looked curiously at Little Bowl.
"Long ti no see, Weichi," I said, "Let apologize first; last ti I promised to shelter you when Ming Zhuo posed a threat to you, but I've been trapped over in the Post-mortem World for over four months.
"The person who initiated contact with in the Post-mortem World last ti was you, wasn't it? Thanks for conveying my survival ssage to Mazao and them after. I couldn't properly provide you with shelter, instead you helped out."
"No problem. Our transaction premise was helping you pinpoint the spatial-temporal location of the 'target,' but you went to that spatial location beforehand yourself..." Weichi showed a humble expression, "As for the ssage relay, it was just a small favor. The 'Firefly' you left with allowed to put on a facade of power; it evens out."
Maybe because he still didn't know Little Bowl's specifics, he substituted "No. 2" with "target" in his words. Although I did inform Fa Zheng that Little Bowl and I are Void Envoys, I didn't reveal Weichi's details to Fa Zheng, so presumably, that side didn't tell Weichi either.
Nonetheless, Weichi seed to have his own speculation; he looked at Little Bowl, and with a serious expression, asked, "Could she be..."
"Nice to et you, Mr. No. 5," Little Bowl gave a gentle smile, "I am the No. 2 you just ntioned, you can call Little Bowl."
Weichi nodded as expected and responded with polite remarks, then observed Little Bowl again, saying, "Pardon my rudeness... You resemble Zhuang Cheng's fiancée very much?"
"That's quite a long story. Shall we get to the main point first, Weichi, have you co seeking information about the Qilin?" I asked.
Weichi's expression quickly turned solemn, nodding with an extrely peculiar tone, saying, "Although the mana fluctuations transmitted were intermittent and chaotic due to that Chaos Space-Ti impact, but... Zhuang Cheng, you battled with the Qilin, right? And in the end, the Qilin's mana fluctuations vanished, don't tell ..."
"Indeed, I killed it," I said frankly.
Wei Chi's fist reflexively clenched tight.
"Do you also intend to fight to the death? Just like you did against the Old Fist God?" I asked.
Wei Chi seed to notice his slight lapse of composure just then, he gave a bitter smile and then relaxed his palm, saying, "When Fa Zheng asked to analyze the 'Du Shuo Mountain' technical docuntation, he also explained to comprehensively and in detail about the current state of the post-mortem world. The unexpectedly appeared Qilin should be the Great Demon Fa Zheng ntioned.
"Only those who harbor destructive wishes against the world might be summoned by the Naraku Gospel as a Great Demon... I am well aware of what kind of role my wife played before her death, her being summoned as a Doomsday Demon by the Naraku Gospel is entirely logical.
"And I definitely won't harbor any real emotions for that monster imitating a fallen wife, though there might indeed be so complex thoughts... do you have to answer in that blunt manner? I should actually thank you, thank you for substituting the weak by eliminating that anomaly that defiled my wife's reputation... Do you seriously think I could mindlessly beco an enemy to you?"
"That's hard to say." I said, "Feelings are inherently irrational, you dared to oppose the Old Fist God, who knows what bizarre answers your mind might concoct."
I occasionally get comnts about being ntally unstable, but in my view, Wei Chi is not far behind in certain respects.
Then, I explained to Wei Chi the whole story of my confrontation with the Great Demon Qilin. After listening, Wei Chi seed finally resigned, letting out a long sigh.
"Thank you for telling this." he said, relieved.
"Are you planning to leave?" I asked.
"Yes, I ca solely for this matter. I have many tasks ahead, the most important of which is the teleportation array of Du Shuo Mountain." Wei Chi's tone gradually turned into one of complaint, "Fa Zheng has high hopes for , as if he believes that as long as it's , I can definitely unlock the mysteries of that teleportation array, but to be honest, this is simply impossible."
Not only does Fa Zheng have high expectations for Wei Chi, I also have imnse confidence in Wei Chi, but his thoughts were unexpected to , leading to ask, "You couldn't even decipher that technical docuntation?"
"No, I deciphered it..." Wei Chi said helplessly, "After all, they practically threw the answers in my face. If I couldn't even copy them down, it would let down the reputation of being the top of the Luoshan Array. But precisely because I could decipher it, it makes feel powerless.
"The technical docuntation itself has problems. It is a technology with massive deficiencies and, in principle, shouldn't work. As an array for traversing between two worlds, it is still in the drafting phase as a prototype technology. It can't be put into practical use without conquering several key nodes."
Upon hearing this, I rembered what an achieved realm cultivator from the Yellow Springs Evangelical Institute had ntioned.
That cultivator didn't know the teleportation array of Du Shuo Mountain had already been completed, in his view, it was supposed to be still a prototype.
Perhaps the information he held wasn't wrong, Du Shuo Mountain's teleportation array indeed is a half-finished product.
"With my knowledge, I can roughly estimate what's needed to conquer those key nodes." Wei Chi said, "One is the Power of Divine Seal Fragnts... Without this, it's impossible to turn what Ming Zhuo impossibly strives for—the crossing between the boundaries of life and death—into reality. I can use the Power of Divine Seal Fragnts, so I can tackle this part with my power.
"But having the Power of Divine Seal Fragnts alone is not enough. Turning impossibility into possibility sounds good, but it's rely a breakthrough from zero to one; the complete realization of the teleportation array requires a leap from one to one hundred. It's by no ans any simpler than the breakthrough from zero to one.
"The difficulty of traversing between the living world and the current post-mortem world surpasses reverse travel by water; it is akin to defying the heavens itself. The Evangelical Institute can ignore this point and succeed because they currently symbolize the Heavenly Dao with the endorsent of planetary natural will.
"Just like an imperial envoy representing the Emperor can freely intervene in various affairs, now even physical laws open doors for the Evangelical Institute; they are in a full cheat mode."
