638 Yin and Yang Person! (1/2)

Yin and Yang Person!

”What the hell's wrong with that scene?”

On the square of B3 Area, Shu Si looked up and wondered, and could not help but feel agitated.

Not long ago, he was still moved by the love story of Zheng Shiliu and A Luo. Who would've thought the story to stop abruptly? A man in black jumped out and said that the previous story was just a scam. The truth was a disgustingly nauseating tragedy...

At that time, cursing sound rang out from the whole square, which was really impressive. Most of those curses and insults were directed at the man in black.

The truth was very simple. If changed to another person, if someone suddenly jumped out and tried to overthrow that person's perception, yet failed to come up with any strong evidence… being scolded was inevitable. Although the man in black had put out a subversive story, there was no hard evidence to support that story.

Of course, on the other hand, Wang Lu had provided no evidence to prove that his story narrative of the stand-up comedians was true, but where in the world would that many people be needed to prove it? Everyone was busy in the City of Immortals, each with their own ideals and aspirations, and this group stand-up comedy was just a kind of entertainment for them; they just wanted to be entertained. Who cared about authenticity?

For Shu Si, he did not care about which of the two stories were true. For him, it didn't matter whether the romantic Zheng Shiliu or the shovel-wielding Zheng Shiliu was the truth. The romantic Zheng Shiliu was evidently far more interesting. Therefore, Shu Si was also extremely disgusted by the man in black who interrupted the story and thus he could not see the ending of the story of romantic Zheng Shiliu.

However, before everyone scolded the man in black enough, the scene in the square's signboard changed. More than two hundred people entered the fighting arena from two directions, and then the sky and the earth collapsed, becoming the void. In that void, He Tu and that man in black made an exchange and made a Nine Regions Map unification.

Shu Si had never heard of the name Nine Regions Map, and could not understand the means of the top level Supreme and ancient Earth Immortal. What he saw was baffling to him.

It was said that the scene just now was a blood oath, but he didn't see anyone shed any blood. So how did this oath come into being? Or could it be that cultivators didn't have the red blood anymore?

”Humph, you inexperienced fool, you don't even recognize the Nine Regions Map?”

Shu Si replied subconsciously, ”Why do I need to know what Nine Regions Map is… Ah! Dead Face, how come it's you!”

Halfway through his words, Shu Si finally recognized that the voice behind him belonged to his current boss, Dead Face. He was so startled that his soul was about to fly away. Honestly, Dead Face was not a bad person. He had always been good to him, but once he made a mistake, the punishment was merciless. This time, being caught lazy during his work shift, he would at least be scolded and cursed...

However, unexpectedly, Dead Face didn't seem to notice that Shu Si was being lazy this time. Instead, he quietly explained, ”Nine Regions Map is the most precious treasure of Shengjing Sect, which reflects its ambition to control Nine Regions. The design idea of Nine Regions Map is to treat Nine Regions as a complete magical treasure, and then refine a core magical treasure to control this magical treasure.”

Hearing this, Shu Si felt incredulous. ”Control the whole Nine Regions? What a great ambition! Now that there's such a Nine Regions Map in Supreme He Tu, could it be that Nine Regions is already in his palm?”

”People of Shengjing Sect are ambitious, they have been like this for thousands of years.” Dead Face said and then shook his head, ”However, to turn Nine Regions into a magical treasure is just a fantasy. The cultivation base of Supreme He Tu is unprecedented, and the whole continent strategy is also supported by the people of Shengjing Sect for thousands of years, yet the Nine Regions Map is still in its infancy. It could barely sense the change of situation on the Nine Regions, let alone wanting to impose immediate influence on the Nine Regions. Nevertheless, being able to see the entire continent and what happens in it is already enough to classify the map as a top rank immortal treasure.”

Shu Si asked, ”Now what is going on with this immortal treasure? How could it become a blood oath?”

”Very simple, Nine Regions Map is used as a carrier. The top-ranked Elders of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals extracted a part of their primordial spirit and put them on the map. Similarly, the Earth Immortals also extracted a bit of their immortal spirit and pinned them on the Nine Regions Map. Being put on the map is like a hostage taken by both sides. The contract based on this is stronger than any oath, that's why it's called a blood oath. As a matter of fact, there's no other method other than this that could restrain so many top-level cultivators at once.”

Shu Si appeared to understand but not really, so he asked, ”I heard that there something called Big Demon Oath…”

”Big Demon Oath could be skirted around. There's already a precedent for that in the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals—it's that youth in a red and white robe who gave you the compass. The Demon Oath that he took when he condensed his golden core is already gone now. At the level of ancient Earth Immortal, a bit of immortal spirit is enough to break the entanglement of the demon heart. In other words, the demon oath is basically a joke to them.”

”Okay then, what will happen next?”

”Next? Along with the progress of the Grand Competition, the two sides would rely on the points obtained when they win to divide the primordial spirits and the immortal spirits in the Nine Regions Map. When the division is completed, the Grand Competition is over.”

”Huh? Divide the primordial spirits and the immortal spirits? I heard that when primordial spirit or immortal spirit of someone is in the hands of others, then that someone would not be free anymore!”

”Yes, this Grand Competition is held to determine the leadership of the future. The leader of tomorrow would always be people. As long as the people are controlled, then naturally, the future is also controlled. If the high-ranking cultivators of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals fall into the hands of the Earth Immortals, where would there be opportunities for the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals to speak out in the future? And vice versa.”

Once again, Shu Si appeared to understand but not really. ”It turns out to be so… But, don't you think that it's really strange? I heard people say that this Grand Competition is ultimately in order to fight the Fallen Immortal. But now, everyone puts their primordial spirits and immortal spirits in a map, what if something happens to Nine Regions Map, wouldn't that mean we are done for?”

”Heh, you're right. That's why we must sincerely pray for nothing bad to happen to Nine Regions Map. Once the Nine Regions is in chaos, you and I would be no different than ants.”

With that, Dead Face let out a faint sigh and his whole body shivered.

This gloomy sigh was unbearable to Shu Si. This was one of the reasons why he was usually uncomfortable to be in the same room as Dead Face and thus would often sneak out.
