Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 920 - 813: Showing Off (Part 2)

The White Snake Demon, having gathered its life origin and condensed its soul, now had its name inscribed in the register, although its life history and death date were entirely absent. But, what's the point even if it transforms into a dragon? Today we've captured it; do you think we can let it leave?"

After speaking, he glared at the pagoda with a sinister smile, the murderous intent in his eyes not at all concealed.

The hunched old man involuntarily hesitated, "After all, it's a Great Demon; would it be inappropriate to just kill it like this? In my view, it's better to interrogate it and lock it away, and once the major event is over, then it's not too late to kill."

The other glared at him, "Look at your lack of courage, no wonder you haven't made a mark for so many years, needing my promotion to partake in top events. We've already captured it, the action is imminent, why keep it alive?

What Great Demon can a mere Demon Pill Realm White Snake be? I'm telling you, you're a Fragmented Void Realm Demon Cultivator, not far from the Mahayana Realm, yet so shortsighted?"

The hunched old man lowered his head slightly, arguing in a small voice: "What I'm saying is, in the Wilderness World, the realm of demon cultivators is generally low, and this White Snake Demon isn't considered weak.

Besides, it suddenly got so much life origin, probably backed by someone formidable... If it's killed rashly, might there be…"

"What might there be?" Luo Nanjia raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile on his face, "Just so you know, this Seven-Layered Exquisite Pagoda is a celestial artifact!

Oh, perhaps you are unaware.

So-called divine artifacts should, by logic, be magical treasures used by gods to qualify; immortal artifacts are magical treasures used by immortals, somewhat lesser than divine artifacts; holy artifacts surpass divine artifacts, and above them are chaotic artifacts.

Nowadays, spirits are near, gods are far, where are there actually that many magical treasures genuinely used by celestial beings circulating?

It's just that some mighty artifact refiners crafted them from heavenly materials and earthly treasures scattered from the Celestial Realm into stronger-than-typical magical treasures, called divine artifacts. In fine calculation, even those don't match immortal artifacts!

After pausing for a moment, he toyed with the scroll in his hand, proudly saying: "For major endeavors this time, most deployed are real celestial artifacts.

Just take this Seven-Layered Exquisite Pagoda, not only can it crush that White Snake Demon, but even forcibly extract the recently obtained life origin easily. Moreover, without leaving any traces, unless pursued by a celestial artifact of equal power, might find a hint of trace, yet impossible to track back to us.

Know why I sent Jiu Qing to quickly capture him? If time drags on, it'll be impossible to extract it."

Upon learning it could extract life origin, the hunched old man's eyes gleamed immediately.

Luo Nanjia's lips curled: "You two following me won't labor in vain. Once extracted, when the life origin is divided, we'll all profit!"

"This pagoda was activated before and can be used again after three days." Jiu Qing's eyes glittered, reminding once more.

The other chuckled, waving his hand, "Rest assured, plotting for an entire world is no trivial matter, awaiting our turn are countless old creatures to handle. Shortest may be half a year, longest three to five years, there's ample time, not missing these two or three days.

If we can threaten and cajole the origin of life from the White Snake Demon's mouth, after three days, we can act again! Aren't we striving hard with hopes to enhance strength and prolong life? Such a golden chance sits before us; to not seize it is foolishness!"

Jiu Qing ceased speaking, silently sitting, watching the small Seven-Layered Glazed Treasure Tower, lost in thought.

"So, did this Treasure Mirror once belong to the celestial immortals?" The hunched old man, stroking the copper mirror, had eyes full of covetousness.

Having struggled to secure such a crucial position and obtain a divine artifact, indeed peeking into life's origin, Luo Nanjia's mood was good and wished to show off; thus, he nodded in affirmation: "Naturally!

Of the celestial artifacts I am aware, there are three mirrors: one hung at the Southern Celestial Gate, named Reflective Heart Mirror; one suspended above the Celestial River, named Celestial Water Mirror; and one you now use, once high atop the Palace of the Polestar, named Eternal Mirror.

Do you know why the Demon King covets the Wilderness World so?"

Suddenly shifting topics, the other two appeared equally puzzled, shaking their heads.

"It's said, after the celestial collapse, all three Treasure Mirrors fell onto the Wilderness!" His round face carried an expression of depth, "The Eternal Mirror was sought with great difficulty by the previous Demon King from the Wilderness World, spending huge effort to repair one or two parts. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

And the other two known Treasure Mirrors remain on the Wilderness, yet the treasures lie obscured, whereabouts unknown."

Upon mention of the long-mysteriously vanished Celestial Realm, Jiu Qing could no longer keep silent, asking softly: "What's so unique about the Wilderness World, allowing three Treasure Mirrors to fall simultaneously?

I've been there many times, never discovered anything strange. Especially as spiritual energy becomes severely scattered at nightfall; if a desolate human world hadn't formed a special bond by chance, swallowing it up nightly, it would've fallen into the void, lost forever."

Since reincarnating into this child's body, Luo Nanjia always felt folks like Jiu Qing looked down on him.

This occasion's flaunt was meant to suppress him, to better command him later, observing the usual coldness dissipate indeed made him feel satisfied, "Yes, you mentioned another world, catching it by chance, supports how special the Wilderness World is, doesn't it?

The Eternal Mirror barely repaired to usability cannot probe multiple worlds simultaneously but can view middle-level worlds' myriad numbers.

How could it be so coincidental that they form a united world by day, yet merge in a fashion even the Demon King can't fathom by night, to prevent the Wilderness from falling?

Moreover, the Wilderness was previously a human-dominated world, despite being cunningly lost to the demon race, producing quite a few gifted individuals. The most famous among them named Xuanyuan Yangguang!

His specific birth year is unknown, but after the two races' war ended, his fame rapidly rose within decades, enduring sporadic fame, until a few hundred years ago he vanished entirely."

Jiu Qing and the hunched old man instantly widened their eyes in shock.

"For any cultivator, however fortunate, can't live that long, he must have ascended immortally."

"Indeed, only by Immortal Ascension can one fly upward, as even the purest spiritual energy in the middle worlds cannot compare to Immortal Energy, not supporting immortals to stay long?"

"Hence the spiritual energy becomes increasingly depleted."

"Ah... Certainly not! Even ascending immortals can't possibly live that long!"

"The lifespan of immortals, mortals cannot fathom."

"Yet requiring longevity-peaches, or... being bestowed through offering…"

Luo Nanjia laughed radiantly, cutting them off, speaking softly: "Precisely due to its bizarre nature, some cultivators speculate Xuanyuan Yangguang lived so long because he possessed tens of millions of life origins!"

Upon hearing those four words, the threesome unconsciously fixed their eyes on the Seven-Layered Glazed Treasure Tower, their gaze intensifying with fervor.

"What exactly is this magical treasure?" Bai Yunqi coiled within the tower, receiving no movements from outside.

Narrowing his eyes, glancing at the Golden Body Divine Statue, his ears immediately rang with the sound of profound chimes, instantly making him feeble, heart pounding wildly.

He suddenly recalled, when newly residing in a small courtyard, after advancing his realm, wanting to test the Venerable Family, deliberately released his aura, yet Wan Mingchuan bore it and cultivated, even finding it exhilarating.

Now, himself being pressed unable to rise, wanting to try cultivating to see if indeed pleasurable, realizing no spiritual energy within the tower to absorb. His inner energy solidified, unable to open his storage bag, he discarded the idle thought emerging.

"Bai Yunqi, next I have some questions for you, answer truthfully, otherwise today means your death." Luo Nanjia felt the time was ripe, as the small demon oppressed by the Golden Body Divine Statue had its demon energy nearly dissipated, thus letting Jiu Qing lift the restriction, asking: "Whose incarnation are you?"

Indeed, the fault of his true form!

He couldn't resist rolling his eyes, thinking to himself that having received the Venerable Family's grace, he had long become an independent demon cultivator, naturally not subsumed as an incarnation. However thoroughly revealed, regardless of any verification, no evidence of ties with the true form would emerge.

With this understanding, just as ready to respond, Bai Yunqi sensibly perceived the interrogator's voice was different from the random kidnapper's, surprisingly having accomplices?

"Esteemed Daoist, afraid you've mistaken me." He perked up his ears, listening keenly, and found the tower-shaped magical treasure seemingly unsealed, apart from unfamiliar vocal tones, faintly catching some hoarse voice murmuring something.

Furthermore, the opponent's voice sounded somewhat hollow with echoes, likely situated in a spacious palace or cave.

Bai Yunqi secretly paid attention yet replied leisurely, "I am merely a demon cultivator, not anyone's incarnation. Moreover, since I have no acquaintance with the Daoist, likely a misunderstanding exists."
