There’s a saying amongst mortals: you can never wake a person who is pretending to sleep. This saying quite suits Zhong Weixi at present. He thought that at least one of his three storage magical treasures could be kept hidden from Qi Tian. Therefore, when Qi Tian gave him a chance, he did not cherish it and chose to hide it on purpose. This let to Qi Tian personally digging out the storage anklet from his ankle. Such an outco had almost left Zhong Weixi in a state of utter poverty, but this wasn’t the main reason for Zhong Weixi choosing self-hypnosis, refusing to wake up. After all, he was a peak expert at the Gold Core Realm Fifth Level Peak and an outer Gold Core mber of the Eight Pill Alliance. Even if penniless, should he wish it, he had plenty of ways to acquire spirit stones and large amounts of cultivation resources.
The real reason Zhong Weixi refused to wake up was his worry that after Qi Tian took his three storage magical treasures, he would still be unsatisfied and would extort more from him. If it were just spirit stones and other cultivation resources that were extorted, Zhong Weixi could bear it, but he feared that these would not be enough to satisfy Qi Tian’s appetite. If Qi Tian demanded intelligence about the Imperial Family Secret Territory, that was sothing he could never reveal to Qi Tian.
No wall in this world is impervious to the wind. Should Zhang Jun, the Alliance Leader of the Eight Pill Alliance, and Wang Fengna, the Vice Alliance Leader, find out he had leaked the secrets of the Imperial Family Secret Territory, he would inevitably beco a marked man by the Eight Pill Alliance, targeted with extre prejudice. He believed he didn’t possess the ability to withstand the pursuit of the Eight Pill Alliance, nor did he believe Qi Tian could offer him similar protection.
Hence, Zhong Weixi simply took advantage of the opportunity when he was seriously injured and let himself fall into a deep slumber. No matter how Qi Tian tornted him, he did not plan to wake up. Even if he were to sleep to death this ti, it would be better than falling into Qi Tian’s hands and being forced to reveal the secrets of the Imperial Family Secret Territory.
Qi Tian encountered such a situation for the first ti. It was so difficult to capture soone who might know the secrets of the Imperial Family Secret Territory, but here the person refused to wake up from his slumber, the kind impossible to rouse. Now, what was to be done?
Qi Tian was at a loss. He called over Gao Jini and Xia Xiaoming to ask them if they had any experience in dealing with such a situation.
Xia Xiaoming simply shook his head. Among the Gold Core Realm powerhouses in Wanjie Comrce, he was considered to be on the lower end of the spectrum, and like Qi Tian, he had never encountered such a situation before.
Gao Jini pondered for a while before saying, “Master, after carefully racking my brain, I seem to recall hearing discussions about such situations sowhere. It was a long ti ago, and I can’t guarantee that I can accurately convey the conversation I heard back then, but I’ll tell you as much as I can rember.”
Qi Tian nodded and said, “That’s fine. We have no other options at the mont, so we are simply casting a net in desperation.”
Gao Jini said, “I rember those discussing this topic ntioned that in cases like Zhong Weixi’s, he isn’t actually in a deep, complete sleep; he’s different from those who suffer a blow to the head and remain unconscious. The latter have a high risk of never waking up for the rest of their lives, but Zhong Weixi sank into sleep willingly. He still hopes to escape the current danger and wait for an opportune mont in the future to wake up. To ensure this could happen, Zhong Weixi would definitely have left so contingency plans. It’s very likely that he let most of his Divine Sense fall into slumber, but retained a small part of it in a dormant, on-duty state. Once the opportunity arises, this tiny amount of Divine Sense would rge with the larger portion, thereby awakening his consciouness and fulfilling the purpose of waking up.”
“So you an to say that if we can find the bit of Divine Sense that Zhong Weixi purposely left behind, we can potentially wake him up?” Qi Tian pressed.
Gao Jini gave a wry smile and said, “I can’t make any promises, after all, I only heard about such situations and have never experienced one myself. Whether or not we can wake soone up like you described, I simply have no idea.”
Qi Tian frowned and after pondering for a mont, he decided to follow Gao Jini’s suggestion first to see if he could find the sliver of Divine Sense on Zhong Weixi that wasn’t completely asleep.
Qi Tian first tried to use his own Divine Sense to enter Zhong Weixi’s body. With Zhong Weixi in slumber, his body was like a camp stripped of all defenses, allowing Qi Tian free entry. Qi Tian’s Divine Sense road around inside Zhong Weixi’s body three tis and found no trace of the possibly nonexistent Divine Sense.
Undeterred, Qi Tian activated the Heavenly Dao Engine’s sensitivity feature towards Spirit Qi, attempting to detect any anomalies on Zhong Weixi, but regrettably, he still ca up empty-handed.
When Qi Tian couldn’t find it himself, he pointed at Zhong Weixi and had Gao Jini and Xia Xiaoming each examine Zhong Weixi’s condition. Like him, both ca back with nothing. After so thought, Qi Tian, Gao Jini, and Xia Xiaoming tead up, each controlling their Divine Sense to enter different parts of Zhong Weixi’s body, forming a tight dragnet to see if they could locate that thread of Divine Sense. But the outco remained unchanged.
Qi Tian was completely out of ideas. He looked at Zhong Weixi’s neck, contemplating whether he should sever Zhong Weixi’s head. If Zhong Weixi remained in a deep sleep, it would be of no help to Qi Tian and might even beco a burden to him. Having to carry an unconscious person everywhere one went could only be imagined as a hardship.
