Chapter 333: Chapter 167 Cunning VS Sly_2

"No need."

The Old Man Illusion said indifferently:

"You’re more difficult to deal with than I thought.

"However, of the three things you mentioned, there is one I did not lie to you about.

"You just wanted to get information from me without considering making any contributions to me. My response with lies was a punishment for your insincerity.

"I did nothing wrong."

A sense of authority seemed to emanate from thin air around the old man.

Wang Jixuan nodded, "So, there’s nothing to talk about?"

"I will make the Inheritance Tablet enter a Silence Cycle, thus preventing it from being contaminated by your dirty, evil, and ominous spiritual energy!"

The Old Man Illusion stared at Wang Jixuan:

"I’m very curious about you, which is also why I took the initiative to communicate with you.

"In fact, you’ve missed a huge treasure, one that could have made you the master of the planet! You will become the sinner of this civilization, this planet!

"Since you’ve rejected my call, this planet will just wait for death. You can’t fight against the Blade Beasts; you have no idea of the true power of the Blade Beasts."

With a cold chuckle, the Old Man Illusion seemed to continue speaking, but his facial expression suddenly stiffened.

He turned his head sharply, looking back at the spire projected out of the stone plate wall.

Within the spire, a wisp of black gas was tumbling up and down, that appeared to be...a Jiao Long...

"What have you done! Damn it!"

He yelled, his body transformed into a beam of light and collided with the spire, all the light on the stone plate rapidly faded away.

Before Wang Jixuan could react, the stone plate wall itself crumbled into individual rectangular blocks that fell to the ground and scattered.

Is this what they call the Silence Cycle?

There was no response from the spiritual energy infusion either.

A stream of black gas hovered in mid-air, solidifying into a half-meter-long Jiao Long and returned to Wang Jixuan’s shoulder.

Master Wang showed some regret with a click of his tongue, "Pity, I only saw a bit of it."

Director Chen asked eagerly, "What did you see?"

"It’s complicated," Wang Jixuan looked towards Fu Jian, who immediately understood.

Fu Jian said, "We’ll discuss this later. Immediately scramble the order of these stone plates and store them separately. The emergency troops from Spiritual Ability City will arrive at the D5 border in an hour and a half. Let’s deal with them first."

The voice of the messenger outside the warehouse door called out, "Commander! The Six Elders from Spiritual Ability City have sent a communication request!"

Director Chen wisely suppressed his curiosity.

"Let those six old bastards wait! Wang Zheng, come with me," Fu Jian instructed, "Loyal Wingman is responsible for collecting these items; ordinary people with souls should not touch them."

"Yes!"

...

In the off-road vehicle heading to the Governor’s conference room.

"What did you find?" Fu Jian asked.

"A lot of things."

Wang Jixuan leaned back on the co-driver’s seat, raising his hand to rub his forehead:

"That old thing should be the residual soul of a Spirit Cultivator. There’s a large space inside the spire, each floor is vast, there are a total of eleven to thirteen floors; I only browsed through half of them.

"The core of the spire is on the highest level, where there is a stone coffin lying across a lake, and that lake is some sort of strange array.

"Inside the stone coffin should be the Spirit Cultivator, which is where the residual soul resides.

"I’ve seen similar stone coffins in the memory fragments of Huo Rong, but the patterns on both are different."

"On the second floor from the top there are two sets of wall mounts that can be fitted with crystal cores, as well as several other types of mounts on the wall. I’ve seen such walls in Ji Xiao’s memories...the core object for the Spiritual Power Infusion Ceremony.

"As for the items on the third and fourth floors, Fu Jian, you might not be able to imagine."

Fu Jian scoffed, "You underestimate my capacity to handle it."

"Crystal cores, densely packed crystal cores! Each as big as a General Level Blade Beast Crystal Core, just one layer laid out, with dozens of layers above and below."

"That’s it?"

"Isn’t that shocking enough! What a huge treasure trove that is!"

Wang Jixuan rubbed his nose:

"I couldn’t help but be tempted when I saw this scene.

"However, what I can be certain of is that he wanted to deceive me into going to the spire and then kill me.

"Just below the two crystal core layers, I saw a group of gaunt figures; they were like mummies, some of which were already beginning to awaken. They must be prepared by this Spirit Cultivator’s residual soul to get rid of us.

"I’m glad I was cautious and sneaked in to investigate... Otherwise, once these mummies fully awakened, it’s possible that a group of powerful Spiritual Ability Users would spring up."

Fu Jian remained silent, contemplating continuously.

The off-road vehicle reached the elevator platform and began to rise steadily.

They were heading to the Governor’s office on the first level.

Wang Jixuan summed up in his heart:

[The ’scientific name’ for Spiritual Ability Users is Spirit Slaves, developed by Spirit Cultivators through spiritual energy infusion as slaves.

The Spirit Cultivator’s Inheritance Tablet should have six sides. The D5 war zone currently has one side, and Spiritual Ability City conservatively estimated to have at least three. The biggest secret of the Six Elders is this artifact; Spiritual Ability City is built on the inheritance of Spirit Cultivators.

There might be three ’Inheritors’ chosen by Spirit Cultivators, and these three inheritors have never appeared; the Six Elders are just powerful Spirit Slaves pushed out front.

Huo Rong and other awakened Spiritual Ability Users are essentially Advanced Spiritual Slaves.

Awakened Spiritual Ability Users possess powerful combat abilities, capable of utilizing their spiritual energy to one hundred or even one hundred twenty percent.

Spirit Cultivators are a completely different cultivation civilization from Cultivators.]

However...

Wang Jixuan made a careful comparison again.

Assuming those ’mummies’ in the spire each had the strength of Huo Rong, then one Inheritance Tablet would indeed have the capital to fight against a single Pillar Level Blade Beast.

But to Wang Jixuan’s senses, the spiritual energy reserves of these ’mummies’ varied, not all were S level Spirit Ability Users. Most were A level, and they would not be able to overcome a group of Pillar Level Blade Beasts...
