Only then Xanio noticed that he had skipped a few steps.

”Oh, I forgot to explain it from the start. It is possible to enter, but you will need to reach the Divinity Realm first. Usually, the cultivators and demon beasts at this level wouldn't comment about this possibility. After all, they don't want to raise the hopes of the young ones who lost someone important to them.”

”It is definitely possible to enter the underworld, the problem comes when you want to find and bring back a specific soul. The underworld is controlled by the heavens, and anyone who tries to intervene will suffer its wrath. So even Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts would not dare to touch the souls inside.”

Feifei then narrowed her eyes.

”And you want me to do it? Isn't it the same as committing suicide?”

Xanio shook his head.

”There are always exceptions for everything, and in this case, the Advanced Major Cores are the exception.”

Feifei immediately connected the points and said.

”Advanced Major Core owners can't be seen by the heavens. It is so much that they don't cause any ripples to the destiny energy, which makes it almost impossible to use divination on them. If I'm not wrong, the heavens wouldn't be able to notice when I take your soul back, right?”

Xanio's projection nodded his head.

”Smart! But not entirely correct. It's not that the heavens can't see the Advanced Major Cores, it is because it chose to ignore them.”

Feifei was surprised by that. She had to admit that Xanio had a point there. Who can guarantee that the heavens really don't know about her and Krune's presence? Maybe, only the sacred lands in the Central Region know the answer.

Xanio continued.

”What I'm going to say now is just an idea of mine, but it is also important, so pay attention.”

”Why is it that the Heavenly Major Core is called like that? Is it because of the fragments inside of the Advanced Major Cores are, in fact, part of the Heavens itself? Think about it.”

Feifei then thought about something.

”In that case, doesn't it mean that the Heavens can still see me once I get your soul back?”

Xanio nodded.

”Correct. That's why you shouldn't do it too much. One or two souls are fine, but if you overdo it, then even I can't guarantee that the heavens won't get back at you.”

Feifei then asked.

”How do you know that the Heavens won't intervene the moment I take your soul, then? Can you guarantee that if I do it only once, I will not suffer a backlash?”

Xanio nodded and then raised his hand. Right after, a jade slip appeared on it. Xanio is someone from way before technology appeared, so he still had no idea what communicators and electronic information storage mean. Because of that, he is still with his jade slips until today.

Feifei knew what it was, but even she had rarely seen one of those. When she held that on her forehead to read, she couldn't help but giggle a little. That, of course, made Xanio a little confused.

After some time, Feifei came back to herself.

Xanio noticed that and then commented.

”As you can see, in the middle of the records that I gathered about the Advanced Major Core owners, there had been two cases where they took a soul back. Also, it is not mentioned anywhere that they received a backlash from the heavens. So I'm pretty sure that it should be fine.”

”Even if it is not, once you notice that you won't be able to get it back without paying the price, then you can simply give up.”

Feifei nodded and then asked the most important question so far.

”I understand everything, but why should I help you?”

Xanio smiled and said.

”Because I just saved your life and the life of your friends outside.”

Feifei's eyes narrowed, but she waited for Xanio to continue.

”I'm not talking about those assassins from before, but the sacred lands that are probably behind them. If I haven't told you everything that I just said, wouldn't you and your clan be in the dark, just waiting for when the other side comes to get rid of you directly? Of course, if you think that this is not enough, then I can only give up.”

Feifei felt quite helpless because she knew that Xanio told the truth. It is thanks to all his information that she now has a chance at living, and so does her Krune. Still, that feeling of being played with wasn't nice. Usually, she was the one to play with others, after all.

”Hmph! So be it, I will never own anyone a favor. If what you said is true and there is no problem to take back your soul, then I will do it if I survive until the day that I reach the Divinity Realm.”

Xanio let out a loud laugh and said.
