"After I separated from the Heart Demon, my strength was naturally far inferior to before. However, that reincarnation cultivation technique unexpectedly affected both of us. After reincarnating again, we became even weaker. Of course, the Heart Demon is inherently insane, doing whatever it takes to gain power. Gradually, the difference between us grew larger, to the point where she could completely annihilate me now!"
At this point, Ye Luo roughly understood that if what she said was true, then there must be a Heart Demon between her and the Sect Master, and one of them is the Zi Wei Fairy!
However, Ye Luo wasnât sure who the real Zi Wei Fairy was. After all, he couldnât just take her word for it, having interacted with the Sect Master several times without noticing any flaws or madness in her.
Yet this voice was filled with eeriness. He would rather believe this was the Heart Demon.
"I know what youâre thinking. I donât expect you to trust me. I just wanted to share this secret, which has greatly lifted my spirits. I havenât been this happy in hundreds of years. Sheâs been hunting me endlessly, searching through virtually the entire Sixth Region, and even sending people to other regions. Yet, she doesnât realize Iâm right under her nose!" she laughed self-deprecatingly.
Hearing this, Ye Luo found himself believing most of it! Perhaps it was the effect of the reincarnation cultivation technique she practiced.
"If thatâs the case, the talisman characters must play a significant role in your concealment. It means theyâre not ordinary sealing talisman characters!"
"Correct, if I donât want you to discover this talisman, then naturally, you wonât be able to find it. Not even her. This is a talisman I accidentally found once. It doesnât belong to this realm. Once refined, if I hide, even powerful beings at the Martial King peak may not detect my presence!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo was truly puzzled, "Then why do you want me to reveal this talisman? Wouldnât it increase the likelihood of her discovering you? Plus, if you wanted to come out, you wouldnât need my help at all!"
Thus, it seemed she wasnât sealed inside, but rather hidden inside. In other words, it was merely a sophisticated concealment talisman.
Upon Ye Luoâs inquiry, she suddenly fell silent.
"I just... wanted to see you!"
After a while, she finally spoke!
See him? Ye Luo suddenly felt a strange sensation. Risking so much just to see him, but why?
"Donât worry, I just wanted to see you, purely nothing more. Actually, talking to you has made me very happy!" She seemed to be laughing from her tone.
However, Ye Luo suddenly remembered something; if she were the Zi Wei Fairy, then wouldnât the current Sect Master be her Heart Demon?
"Youâd better be wary of her. The new reincarnation day is approaching, and I... donât know if I can endure it. Even if I do, I fear my realm will fall, and I wonât be able to control this talisman. She will find me soon, and my energy might be devoured by her, which could spell disaster for the Sixth Region or even the entire Martial Realm. Unfortunately, Iâve existed for hundreds of years, tried to change things, but found that in the concealment beneath this talisman, I canât accomplish anything!"
Her words carried much helplessness and regret.
After all, she was hiding and lacked cultivation resources. With each reincarnation, her strength drastically dropped, becoming a vicious cycle. The reincarnation cultivation technique once propelled her to the peak, but now it was also the technique that demanded her life.
"This reincarnation is also crucial for her, so sheâll undoubtedly take some measures. I even suspect sheâll destroy the entire Zi Wei Sect!"
Ye Luo thought for a moment and decided to share the Sectâs situation with him. Previously, Ye Luo had kept some information about the outside to himself, as he wasnât sure who she really was!
"Currently, thereâs a territorial conflict outside. This time itâs quite unique, as both inland and overseas forces are involved!"
"Territorial conflict? Zi Wei Sect has never participated in some territorial conflicts. Since I founded the Sect, no force has dared to target the Zi Wei Sect. Although the Divine Martial Sect and Wind Cloud Sect seem powerful, the gap with Zi Wei Sect is still significant. Even if her strength wanes, she wouldnât be pushed to this extent!" she murmured, puzzled.
Just hearing this, Ye Luo was also a bit confused. A territorial conflict indeed existed! He could confirm this much.
"Perhaps something unprecedented happened. This time, to cope with the crisis, the Zi Wei Sect specially opened the Spirit Pool, aiming to enhance all disciplesâ strengths!"
"What!" She exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Ye Luoâs words.
This reaction was entirely beyond Ye Luoâs expectations! Her reaction was too intense.
"Is there something inappropriate?" Ye Luo asked.
"Inappropriate? Itâs more than inappropriate!" She sneered, "I finally understand why this territorial conflict happened. Sheâs willingly joined it. Which force doesnât covet the Spirit Pool? Although itâs a treasure, itâs also a tomb. Now, I finally know how she plans to enhance her strength!"
Ye Luo suddenly had a bad feeling, "Are you saying the Spirit Pool opening is a conspiracy?"
"Exactly. If Iâm not mistaken, the Spirit Pool wonât just open to the Zi Wei Sect but also to other forces. After all, the Zi Wei Sectâs disciples are too few, far from meeting her standards! Alas, if her plan succeeds, the South Territory will be buried in her hands!" the Zi Wei Fairy sighed.
"Then, whatâs the reason for letting so many enter the Spirit Pool?"
"Sacrifice!" the Zi Wei Fairy uttered only two words.
"Sacrifice?" Ye Luo frowned. Could it be that the Sect Master had another purpose in letting him enter the Spirit Pool?
He was originally just a guest elder, so why was he suddenly made an auxiliary elder? Why would they choose him among the disciples? Ye Luo couldnât understand the reason at first, but after what the Zi Wei Fairy said, things felt even more suspicious!
