Chapter 332: Chapter 167 Cunning VS Sly

"Are Blade Beasts creations of Spirit Cultivators?"

"Sorry, I cannot answer that."

"Are Spiritual Ability Users intentionally created by the civilization of Spirit Cultivators using humans?"

"Sorry, I cannot answer that."

"Are you playing us, right?"

"Sorry, I... uh."

Seeing the wisp of black qi swirling around Wang Jixuan’s sword finger, the Old Man Illusion hurriedly corrected himself:

"I’m not playing you, please stay calm, mysterious Cultivator!"

"What I must say is that I am just a gatekeeper protecting the Inheritance, and the information I have is limited. Plus, I cannot disclose certain information without the permission of the civilization of Spirit Cultivators because I am just a gatekeeper."

"It’s a kind of... encryption of civilization."

Wang Jixuan said leisurely, "Whether you are a gatekeeper or a Spirit Cultivator, we need to verify that ourselves, not just take your word for it."

"How could a powerful Spirit Cultivator be like me, coerced by such dirty Spiritual Energy?"

The visage of the apparition became clearer, a bitter smile squeezing onto the old man’s face, as he continued:

"You cannot understand me, just as I cannot understand you."

"I am a false sentience born from the multiversal Spiritual Energy formula, a bit like those Mechanical Bodies created by human civilization over there."

"My task is to guard this Stone Plate... you can actually enter the Stone Plate to see for yourself; when your hand touches the Stone Plate, I can guide your soul inside, and then you will understand everything I’ve said."

"I won’t go," Wang Jixuan refused decisively, "I can let a teammate I trust go inside."

Zheng Shiduo stepped forward decisively.

He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time!

As long as he could get in, he would be the ’trusted teammate’ Mr. Wang had mentioned!

Uh, it doesn’t seem too important... but now, it was his turn to step forward!

"Sorry, he can’t."

The Old Man Illusion immediately refused:

"He is already a Spirit Slave to another Inheritance Tablet, marked by the Inheritance of another Spirit Cultivator, breaking the rules and potentially disturbing the tacit understanding between Spirit Cultivators.

"A Spirit Slave is a Spirit Slave, meant to serve Spirit Cultivators, to obey, to dedicate, not to accept the Inheritance of Spirit Cultivators."

"That’s also why I immediately shut the gate when I discovered him."

"Spirit Slave? Who?"

Zheng Shiduo pointed to his own nose in shock: "Me?"

The Old Man Illusion smirked with slight mockery:

"It seems that your human civilization has not shared this piece of information. That’s quite normal; humanity is like that. The civilization of Spirit Cultivators has similarly evolved from a civilization like humanity’s into an Advanced Civilization. This is all I am allowed to reveal."

Wang Jixuan snorted: "Don’t beat around the bush, and try to avoid rhetoric."

The Old Man Illusion chuckled bitterly: "Having a conversation with you is really difficult. Why do you refuse this kind of Inheritance?"

Wang Jixuan’s expression became more frigid: "Hm?"

The old man switched the topic, continuing:

"Below is all the information I can reveal."

"The six-faced Inheritance Tablet corresponds to the Inheritances of six Spirit Cultivator masters. These six Inheritances are critical for you, completing the entire Inheritance ritual, the six masters will awaken and save your planet. Inheritance is a very complex matter."

"So far, only you have activated the Inheritance Tablet I am guarding."

"The six-faced Stone Plate, each face consists of one hundred and twenty smaller stone plates. When all the small stone plates are assembled, the gate of Inheritance will be activated by the appropriate candidate."

"Before this, three of the Inheritance Stone Plates have been activated. I am the fourth."

"Moreover, the Inheritors of those three stone plates have already sensed my awakening, and this might bring some trouble for you."

Suddenly, Fu Jian said, "There’s been an uprising in Spiritual Ability City, all emergency forces have been dispatched, heading this way, but don’t worry."

"That’s what I mean."

The Old Man Illusion looked at Wang Jixuan with a smile:

"So now, you must accept this inheritance, even obtain the Inheritance Mark as swiftly as possible to begin your path as a Spirit Cultivator. This is how you can counteract the pressure from the first three Inheritors."

"Don’t hesitate, this is your chance to step into a higher civilization. Don’t you want to gain more powerful Power, mysterious Cultivator?"

"Of course, I want to gain Power, but..."

Wang Jixuan shook his head:

"I don’t need to rely on handouts from others."

"And in this brief exchange, you’ve told a few lies."

"Lying?" The Old Man Illusion seemed puzzled, "If I can refuse to answer you, why would I need to lie?"

"Do you think I’ll waste time second-guessing your thoughts?"

Daoist Wang’s gaze sharpened as he stared at the Old Man Illusion:

"First, you’re not some kind of mechanized thought body based on a multiversal formula."

"You are a living being, a soul, an incomplete soul, harboring spirit light within yourself."

"Second, touching the Stone Plate should involve more than just the soul entering it."

"I’ve sensed the force of spatial fluctuations."

"Clearly, allowing the soul to enter the spire is one way; another would be to let the entire body enter the spire."

"Third, what you said about [completing the Inheritance] and [awakening] contradicts each other. Inheritance is meant to impart one’s knowledge or ability, yet you mentioned awakening. It’s highly likely that the six Spirit Cultivators have found themselves in a troubling situation, right?"

"Do you need some sort of sacrificial offering? Or perhaps, new bodies?"

The Old Man Illusion remained silent, his expression blank.

Wang Jixuan snapped his fingers, saying calmly, "I no longer expect you to tell the truth; you just want to lure me in and then use whatever’s inside against me. Now, I’ll give you two choices..."
