Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 696
Chapter 696: Chapter 30 Ling Yunpo Successfully Promoted Chapter 696 -30 Ling Yunpo Successfully Promoted “As for the authenticity of the ancient secrets you shared, I surely have ways to verify,”
True Lord Ziyuan replied with an unchanged smile to Mo Gu True Person’s accusation:
“As for the concern you worry about, it’s quite simple.”
“I won’t use spells to cheat.
As long as the secrets you’ve mentioned are indeed ones I haven’t heard, I will naturally admit you’ve passed the test.”
“How do you prove it?” Mo Gu True Person demanded.
“No proof needed.” True Lord Ziyuan was still smiling, “Your only choices are to stay or to leave.”
“Pfft!” Ling Yunpo couldn’t hold back and accidentally let out a laugh.
Mo Gu True Person seemed to be used to causing trouble within the Nether Ghost Path, subconsciously thinking all organizers cared about their face.
When its fairness is questioned, its first thought is how to explain or even make concessions to appease public discontent.
But this True Monarch is merely a projection-frankly, if not bound by the trial’s rules, they could simply slack off without any concerns.
To think you can manipulate this True Monarch by causing a commotion is far too naive!
...
Although he suppressed his laughter, the room was only so big, and since nobody else was speaking, Mo Gu True Person still heard him.
“And what might Qing Heng True Person have to say?” he asked, maintaining his forced smile but speaking with an icy tone.
“I have no grand insights to offer,” Ling Yunpo sighed, “but what you’re doing is useless.”
“If we both give up on this trial, I would like to see if this True Monarch would make concessions,” Mo Gu True Person said coldly, now not bothering to pretend after his intentions were laid bare, “What kind of test is this, asking for an ancient secret I’ve never heard before?”
“Since it’s a test, there’s naturally meaning in it,” True Lord Ziyuan calmly said, “If you don’t understand, why not try the trials of other True Monarchs?
After all, I am not the only True Monarch in this secret realm.”

“Hmph.” Mo Gu True Person stood up and left with another subordinate without hesitation.
Clearly, in his view, this trial had almost no chance of success.
Better to give up early than waste time here.
Watching Mo Gu True Person depart, Ling Yunpo suddenly felt spirited, thinking of a certain possibility:
Wait, if everyone gives up and leaves, won’t I be able to mention any secret without worrying about being scrutinized?
He turned to look at the other three, and after a brief hesitation, True Monarch Tian Lan also quietly stood up, opting to leave.
So only True Monarch Shi Yuan, Guo Jin, and Ling Yunpo remained in the tower.
True Monarch Shi Yuan, still not giving up, continued to mention several secrets, one of which even Ling Yunpo had never heard, yet all were explained and dismissed as invalid by True Lord Ziyuan.
???G?.??
About half an hour later, True Monarch Shi Yuan couldn’t hold out any longer and had to stand up, bid farewell, and leave.
Ling Yunpo then looked at Guo Jin, wondering why this foolish disciple couldn’t bring up any secrets and why he hadn’t left.
Guo Jin was also blankly staring at the floor, racking his brains for an answer-but not usually caring about such things, how could he come up with one now?
If only my master, mistress, or junior sister were here…
he thought, feeling dejected.
Seeing that Guo Jin remained unmoved, Ling Yunpo finally lost his patience.
He wouldn’t wait anymore!
If worse came to worst, he would just need to tell Guo Jin not to speak of this using Wei Dongliu’s identity.
“True Lord Ziyuan,” he clasped his hands in salute and said aloud, “may I ask if you have heard of matters concerning the Immortal Realm?”
“The Immortal Realm?” True Lord Ziyuan was briefly startled, her face immediately displaying an astonished expression.
Clearly, she was not aware of matters concerning the Immortal Realm.
Or rather, it was unlikely that cultivators currently active in the Cultivation Realm would know of matters concerning the Immortal Realm-much like the living could not possibly know what happens after death.
Since such matters couldn’t be explained or traced back to their origin, Ling Yunpo wanted to minimize the possibility of his audience leaking any secrets.
“If it truly concerns the Immortal Realm,” True Lord Ziyuan regained her composure and smiled slightly, “I would be delighted to listen attentively.”
“I also read it from a miscellaneous book; I am not sure whether it is true or false,” Ling Yunpo listened to the Kunlun Mirror speak in his Sea of Consciousness, while he repeated the words, “The Immortal Realm is unlike the mortal world, resembling a vast ocean of deep waters.”
“Hmm, hmm,” nodded True Lord Ziyuan, taking note.
“Each drop of water in the ocean is made of highly concentrated and condensed spiritual energy,” Ling Yunpo spoke slowly, “In such a high-energy environment, even the most stubborn rocks and dust can swiftly become sentient and acquire cultivation levels.
Not to mention ordinary people, who with every gesture could move mountains and seas.”
“Fortunately, the Immortal Realm is extremely distant from our world, even when the Heavenly Spheres converge, traveling at the speed of light it would take tens of thousands of years to reach the Immortal Realm from here.”
“It is precisely because of this great distance that our world does not suffer serious consequences from the Immortal Realm, even complete destruction.”
“I see,” True Lord Ziyuan, after a brief calculation, reached an answer that “he was not lying” and couldn’t help but sigh, “even the rocks and dust can easily attain cultivation levels… that is to say, in the Immortal Realm, achieving enlightenment is also a matter of ease.”
“Unfortunately, I have no opportunity to witness the Immortal Realm myself,” she revealed a melancholic smile and, after pondering for a long time, slowly said, “According to what was said before, the position of the Golden Que in my hands is now yours.”
Guo Jin, who was listening by the side, was stunned.
It was only now that he realized what Qing Heng True Person had said was actually true?
“Qing Heng True Person!” He quickly called out, “May I ask if the Immortal Realm is truly as you described…”
He had not yet finished his question when he saw True Lord Ziyuan clap her hands.
Suddenly, seven or eight maidservants surged out from below the tower, surrounding Ling Yunpo as they left.
“This True Person Ming Ling,” after sending Ling Yunpo off, True Lord Ziyuan then turned to Guo Jin, smiling as she spoke, “I no longer have a Golden Que position in my hands, do you still wish to stay here?”
Guo Jin was silent for a long while, as if he had been struck by a wave of information, and it took him a long time to come to his senses.
After a brief salute, he took his leave.
Thus, in the tower, only True Lord Ziyuan remained.
She sat alone in the empty room, mumbling under her breath, with no one knowing what she was saying.
“Ziyuan.” Suddenly, a person appeared below the tower-it was Liandu True Monarch, “That demon from afar has been caught by Zhao Ling and expelled.”
“Jiuhua True Monarch was inspired by this incident and wants to find a True Monarch to pretend to be a foreign cultivator, to test their observational and analytical skills.
Do you have time for this?”
“Just right, I have already given away my position of the Golden Que.
I might as well continue to play along with them,” True Lord Ziyuan rose gracefully and then seemed to recall something, testing him with a question, “Liandu, have you ever considered what the Immortal Realm might be like?”
“The Immortal Realm?” Liandu True Monarch asked in surprise, “Why do you suddenly ask about this?”
“If the average cultivation realm in the Immortal Realm is extremely high, and we, immortals of the mortal world, were to go there, our strength would be no different from ordinary people in the Immortal Realm,” said True Lord Ziyuan wistfully, “Then, what was the point of the half a lifetime spent in diligent cultivation?”
