Chapter 727 – You Refuse To Give Me Face? (1/2)
The Sword Spirit glanced at Qin Bufan and said, “Even though my main body has suppressed all of you for 100,000 years, haven't I been trapped there for 100,000 years as well? To a certain extent, there’s actually no difference between us.”
Yang Ye’s profound energy was surging within him while he stayed vigilant. After all, Qin Bufan and the other defiant profounders had been sealed for 100,000 years, and it would be impossible for them to feel no resentment.
Qin Bufan glanced up into the sky and said, “Don’t worry, every enmity has a person responsible for it. I, Qin Bufan, know who my enemy is. Out of consideration for the fact that we’ve joined forces in battle, I’ll remind you that not everyone makes such clear differentiation like me. Since you have that ancient sheath with you, countless defiant profounders will definitely attack you in the future. After all, its main body has tortured us for 100,000 years.”
Yang Ye replied, “I don’t like to cause trouble, but I’m not afraid of it!”
“Right!” Qin Bufan nodded, and then he transformed into an arc of light that shot towards the distance.
“You’re leaving just like that?” asked Yang Ye.
“It’s too dangerous to stay with you!” Qin Bufan’s voice resounded from the sky.
The corners of Yang Ye’s mouth twitched while he said to himself, What a pity!
He’d intended to ask Qin Bufan to take him to where the Sword Spirit’s main body was. However, it was obvious that Qin Bufan had figured out his intentions and fled before he could even ask.
“We must find where my main body is as soon as possible!” The Sword Spirit’s voice carried a rare trace of solemnness, and it seemed like her condition was very serious.
Yang Ye pondered deeply for a moment before he waved his right hand, and then Fu Jinxian appeared before him. The thing he’d asked the Sword Spirit to do earlier was to get Fu Jinxian.
“We’ve escaped?” Fu Jinxian revealed happiness on her face, and then she glanced at the surroundings and said, “What about the Fire Spirit Race?”
“It’s finished!” Yang Ye spoke indifferently.
“Oh.” She was stunned for a moment, and then merely spoke a single word before she fell silent.
“Do you know where the defiant profounders are being sealed?” asked Yang Ye.
He had to rescue the Sword Spirit’s main body no matter what. Not to mention that it could improve his strength, it could even allow him to gain true control over the Sword Domain. Moreover, the Sword Spirit had helped him a lot, so he couldn’t just watch as she died.
“What do you intend to do?” Fu Jinxian was shocked.
“I hope that you don’t ask too many questions!” Yang Ye looked her in the eyes while his voice carried a trace of impatience.
Fu Jinxian glanced at him, and then spoke softly, “The place that the defiant profounders are sealed at is called the PaG.o.da of Confinement. It’s deep within the ground, even deeper than where my Fire Spirit Race resided. Moreover, it’s densely covered by grand formations and countless Half-Saints. To be honest, you won’t be able to enter at all.”
Yang Ye frowned and said, “Do you have a way in?”
Fu Jinxian thought for a moment and said, “There’s one way!”
“Tell me!” said Yang Ye.
She explained, “There are four paradises of cultivation in the Hallowed Halls. They are the Forest of Illusions and Demons, the Netherworld Ocean, the Cloudpool of Lightning, and the PaG.o.da of Confinement. The PaG.o.da of Confinement is considered to be the best amongst the paradises of cultivation because it’s filled with abundant amounts of fire element energy. The amount of energy there is equivalent to Firecrystals, and it’s even those that are 500 years old and above. Of course, it’s the most dangerous amongst the paradises of cultivation. Because defiant profounders might appear at any moment. Moreover, if the defiant profounders who emerge aren’t strong, then the Half-Saints of the Hallowed Halls wouldn’t lend a hand at all. The geniuses of the Hallowed Halls would have to deal with them on their own.”
Yang Ye said, “Get to the point!”
She continued, “If you want to get to the PaG.o.da of Confinement, then you must sneak into the Hallowed Halls. Of course, that isn’t easy. Even the geniuses of the Hallowed Halls wouldn’t be able to enter the 4 paradises of cultivation with ease. There’s only a single way for you to accomplish that, and it’s to exchange the point of the Hallowed Halls for it.”
“Points?” Yang Ye frowned because it was the first time that he’d heard of this.
She nodded, “Everything in the Hallowed Halls requires points. For example, cultivation techniques, combat techniques, treasures, and even clothes or food have to be bought with points. Moreover, even marriages require points to be completed. In any case, you can’t do anything in the Hallowed Halls without points. So, the members of the Hallowed Halls and especially those of the younger generation have to earn points every single day, because only points would allow them to obtain better things. On the other hand, strength is needed to obtain points, so the Hallowed Halls’ strength is the greatest throughout the Hallowed Grounds.”
“Under such circ.u.mstances, even the laziest person would have no choice but to work hard!” Yang Ye finally understood why the geniuses of the Hallowed Halls far surpa.s.sed Profounder Continent or even the Fire Spirit Race. If one didn’t work hard while one resided within such an environment, then one might starve to death.
“Is there any other way to enter the PaG.o.da of Confinement?” asked Yang Ye. After all, sneaking into the Hallowed Halls wasn’t a really reliable method. It wasn’t the Fire Spirit Race that he had a chance of escaping even if he was exposed. He would definitely die if he was exposed in the Hallowed Halls.
She shook her head and said, “Unless you want to enter by force!”
“How many Half-Saints are there?”
She answered, “At least 50 in the outer circle, and there might be more now!”
Yang Ye eyelids twitched, “That many?”
She replied, “It’s not only the Half-Saints of the Hallowed Halls that are there, the Half-Saints from my Fire Spirit Race and various other races are there as well. So, it’s impossible for you to enter by force.”
Yang Ye said, “Looks like I have no other choice!”
“But what about your appearance…?” Fu Jinxian seemed hesitant to finish her sentence.
Yang Ye rubbed his face and said, “Don’t worry, I know how to solve that problem.”
She suddenly said, “You won’t kill me, right?”
Yang Ye glanced at her and asked, “Why are you asking me such a question?”
She replied, “Only I’m aware of your ident.i.ty and objectives. No one would be aware of it once I’m dead.”
Yang Ye gazed at her for a short while and said, “I always seek a clear conscience when I do anything. I wouldn’t be able to keep my conscience clear if I killed you for that.”
