Chapter 163: Why?
This group of Martial Alliance disciples ca to Royal City to participate in the Human Immortal List. They set out from Green Province over ten days ago and explored a secret realm on the way. Due to various incidents during the journey, they only arrived in Royal City today.
The one leading them this ti was the "Xiao Zu" they had ntioned several tis just now. However, Xiao Zu was not with them at the mont. Instead, he had dispersed on the way, agreeing to et again at this current inn, the Wandering Immortal Inn, which was well-known to the Martial Alliance.
Although he was referred to as "Xiao Zu," he was not soone from their sect or an elder. Moreover, his true identity was neither human nor Netherkin but an immortal spirit.
Born from the essence of heaven and earth, these beings were extrely rare and special. They were nurtured by the celestial source, genderless, and each had a unique appearance.
The "Xiao Zu" of the Martial Alliance was such an immortal spirit, discovered and carefully nurtured by the Alliance Master in his early years. This gave him a special status in the Martial Alliance because this immortal spirit possessed a unique ability that the Alliance Master valued imnsely - the ability to push the developnt of events in unpredictable directions, increasing the probability of unlikely events occurring.
However, those who had interacted with Xiao Zu in the Martial Alliance dared not underestimate this possibility. The middle-aged Eldest Senior Brother of the Martial Alliance, with a weathered face, seed to think of sothing, and his sturdy body trembled slightly.
He cast a solemn gaze over the junior brothers who had advised him to leave earlier.
"Have you considered... if we leave now, and Xiao Zu arrives later but can’t find us, what might happen?"
His voice was low, as if he had experienced the ups and downs of life, seeing through the world’s vicissitudes.
The few Martial Alliance disciples who had looked bitter just now all shivered at the sa ti.
Thus, the first floor of the inn fell into silence once again.
In the room of the little pink fox demon empress:
"Ascension?"
Luo Wusheng was slightly stunned.
"Yes, with so secret techniques this one master, there is a bit of certainty that this can help Young Master Artifact ascend from middle-grade to high-grade."
Yao Ji nodded lightly, "At that ti, it will trigger a tribulation surpassing the Nascent Soul realm... but young master doesn’t need to worry; I have the ans to swallow the tribulation lightning."
Upon hearing this, Luo Wusheng already understood.
The little pink fox needed a tribulation to restore her cultivation and solidify her third tail, as he had learned from eavesdropping earlier.
Now, it seed that her ntioned thod was to use his artifact to trigger the ascension tribulation. The ntion of swallowing the tribulation lightning probably ant that she could restore her cultivation by consuming the spiritual energy of the tribulation lightning.
Swallowing tribulation lightning... sounded quite cool.
He wondered what tribulation lightning tasted like.
Unfortunately, he didn’t possess such a magical talent.
After understanding these details, Luo Wusheng made a speculative expression and asked, "Can swallowing the tribulation lightning restore your cultivation?"
"... Young master guessed right."
With a glint in her eyes, Yao Ji admitted softly.
"Since I can help Miss Yao Ji and gain such significant benefits for myself, it seems I have no reason to refuse..."
Luo Wusheng smiled and said, "Let’s do as Miss Yao Ji suggests."
The Nine-Tailed Fox Netherqueen, who is in her Human Form, raised the corners of her mouth and looked at the young man in front of her. There was a slight but evident smile in her eyes.
’Well, I can completely make another similar artifact with the materials I have on hand. As for the side effects... I can just go to Little Yuli for a few blessings.’
Yao Ji didn’t know what the young man was thinking. But after hearing Luo Wusheng’s answer, her smile beca more apparent.
Her words were not false; ascension carried risks. Regular artifacts had fixed grades from the mont of their creation and rarely had the opportunity for ascension.
However, Luo Wusheng’s Phantomless was different. The materials used in crafting it exceeded those of normal high-grade artifacts, and its potential had not been fully tapped. This created the possibility of ascension.
Nevertheless, the risk of failure still existed.
’If it really fails, I can add sothing else as a gift for him, maybe a High-Grade Artifact?’
’Should this be enough to pay him for lifting my seal?’
Yao Ji pondered in her heart, but jokingly said, "Then this can only do my best not to disappoint Young Master~"
On the side, the Ape Netherkin and Xiao Guai, who witnessed the two reaching a deal, had complex expressions on their faces, seeming to have sothing to say but couldn’t express it.
Finally, they felt that sothing was not right.
Why did The Nine-Tailed Fox Netherqueen and the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect seem to have no barriers in their communication? Even their attitudes... Are they following the attitude the Netherqueen had when she disguised herself in Royal City?
The Ape Netherkin almost thought that the fox in front of him was an impostor who had the ability to disguise itself as his Monarch.
And Xiao Guai rembered the speculation of the several other old Netherkin regarding the Holy Saint’s possible desire for Elder Sister’s body...
Just as Xiao Guai began to rember the past, the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect suddenly took a deep breath.
As he exhaled, his expression beca serious and earnest.
"...Speaking of which, I just rembered sothing and hope to get an answer from Miss Yao Ji."
Seeing his serious expression, knowing that the other party indeed had sothing important to ask, Yao Ji also put away her smile.
"You can speak, Young master."
Luo Wusheng took another breath.
"Although these questions may be a bit inappropriate... but I still want to know, why would the forr emperor of the Immortal Nation, is able to goes all alone into the Netherland, defeat all of the old monster that reside in there, including you, and sealed you in the Ascending Immortality Lake, which, are in the Immortal Nation."
"I would be frank, I doesn’t know how much old monster left reside in the Netherland, but I’m sure those Netherkin who are at the peak of Tribulation Crossing Realm can be counted in more than one hand, although I’m aware that these monster are rarely ever made a move due to hiding away from the Tribulation, they should still be able to stop the Emperor, and yet, they failed."
"Does this an that the forr Emperor of the Immortal Nation has reached a level so high that no one left is able to match him?"
"If this conjecture is true, how did Miss Yao Ji be able to create an avatar despite being sealed under the lake and hiding her in the capital of the empire?"
As he finished speaking, he locked eyes with Yao Ji.
But Yao Ji closed her eyes, as if struggling with sothing.
The expressions on Xiao Guai and the Ape Netherkin’s faces also beca complicated and desolate.
After a long ti, Yao Ji sighed.
"The forr emperor of the Immortal Nation... his strength is indeed almost unmatched among those at the Tribulation Crossing stage, but it is not as high as young master said."
"As for why he could do these things and how this one could leave an avatar despite being sealed..... This one can only tell Young Master one thing. This one believe that with the young master’s wisdom, it is enough to deduce the answer."
She said, taking a breath, and then a mocking smile appeared on her face.
"Since ancient tis, the heavens and the earth have set limits. Only when soone in this world reaches the level of Land Immortal by never-seen-before ans can they break through all the barriers between immortals and mortals."
"Otherwise, in this world, surviving the immortal tribulation and becoming an immortal is impossible."
