A Top Scholar in Everything

Chapter 1255: Chapter 1241: True Monarch

Baiyu was startled, truly not expecting that, in this hot spring lake, there were actually other people present.

This was simply absurd.

If it wasn’t someone from the team, then it could only mean this person had been living in such an environment for a long time.

Someone able to live here.

No need to say it.

They are definitely difficult characters, and it’s even unclear if the person is human.

However.

Since the other party had already issued an invitation, Baiyu wouldn’t refuse at this moment. On the contrary, if he went to have a look, he might be able to find a way to escape.

With this idea in mind.

Baiyu stepped onto the rocks above the hot spring lake, advancing step by step toward the center. It wasn’t long before he arrived at the pavilion in the center.

In the middle of the pavilion.

A man dressed simply and with very ordinary looks sat inside, smiling at Baiyu, appearing completely at ease.

Baiyu asked in a deep voice, "Who are you, sir?"

"You can call me Wushan Jun."

The man’s fingers tapped the table in the center of the pavilion, "I’ve been here for over a hundred years. Although occasionally someone else has come in, none have been as interesting as you."

"Interesting?"

Baiyu chewed over his choice of words.

The man’s face bore a smile, "Yes, interesting. You have divine power on you, and many other forces as well. Such a chaotic power system can still exist in balance within you—isn’t that interesting?"

Baiyu became alert in his heart.

This bastard.

He could actually discern his cultivation, indicating the opponent’s strength is definitely high.

To be able to survive in a place like this.

There’s a stronger possibility that this thing is an old monster.

But.

Baiyu couldn’t see his exact realm, but he seemed like an ordinary person.

"Could you do me a favor?"

At this moment.

Wushan Jun spoke again.

Because Baiyu mostly kept silent, Wushan Jun had to be more proactive.

Otherwise.

Their exchange would mostly be characterized by mutual silence.

"What kind of favor?"

Baiyu asked.

"Help me get out..."

A trace of melancholy appeared on Wushan Jun’s face, his voice deep, "This giant bone ship is actually a massive prison, holding many people and other creatures.

They are all prisoners of this ’prison.’

However.

The prison wasn’t built properly due to various reasons; it was abandoned halfway through construction.

Yet.

We were locked inside and have been trapped here since.

While outsiders have come before, they didn’t have the ability to rescue me. But you give me hope."

Wushan Jun’s voice was low.

Of course, Baiyu wasn’t going to agree, but he was still very interested in the information Wushan Jun mentioned.

"Who built the prison? And why were you locked in?"

Baiyu asked.

Wushan Jun calmly replied, "The builder, it’s been so long, now it’s unknown if the structure is even standing, but he was previously called Shen Zhenjun, a title we gave him.

After the construction stopped halfway.

This place was left as is.

We are all considered enemies of Shen Zhenjun, you see, a strong person at the True Monarch realm wouldn’t find it difficult to confine us."

Although Baiyu didn’t know what the True Monarch realm was.

But obviously.

This should be stronger than the Moon Devouring Realm.

Under such circumstances, Baiyu naturally wanted to understand the situation first, so he explained the current grading situation to Wushan Jun.

However.

Who knew Wushan Jun was actually aware, he smiled, "Ancient cultivation grade classifications generally use natural phenomena for division, whether it’s Meteor, Eclipse Moon, or Sun, these are natural landscapes.

However.

Generally, Martial Cultivators who’ve reached the Sun Level will quickly gain the title of True Monarch, given their strength isn’t diluted, this is a consensus among all cultivators in the universe.

But.

Below the Eclipse Moon, very few people know.

Some current Eclipse Moon Realm cultivators without family, sect, or force inheritance are probably also unaware of this."

Wushan Jun explained.

Having no force in Eclipse Moon Realm, isn’t that me... Baiyu thought sarcastically.

"Is True Monarch the Sun Realm?"

"No, Martial Cultivators at the Sun Realm can earn the title of True Monarch; it’s a term of respect.

But on the Extraordinary Sequence side.

They cannot obtain the True Monarch title."

Wushan Jun shook his head, emphasizing the difference to Baiyu.

"Then what is the equivalent of True Monarch for the Extraordinary Sequence?"

Baiyu asked.

Wushan Jun shook his head, "The True Monarch level in the Extraordinary Sequence is generally the demigod of Sequence One.

At this level.

It’s considered to have reached the top of the cultivation levels; the gap in strength between equivalent levels can be significant."

"Are you also at the True Monarch level?"

Baiyu suddenly asked.

The name has a "Jun," indicating that it is likely Wushan is his True Monarch title.

Wushan Jun smiled, "Used to be, but now, I’m just an ordinary person seeking freedom and a way out of here. So, will you help me?"

Faced with such a direct request.

Baiyu thought for a moment, then stepped back half a step, "Sorry, I cannot be certain that releasing you won’t threaten my life, so I can’t save you.

Also.

I think a prison built by a Sun realm True Monarch is not something I can break through.

So, I’m sorry."

At this time.

Baiyu was already prepared for battle.

However.

Wushan Jun seemed to very much understand Baiyu’s decision, nodded and said, "Then if you change your mind later, you can come back here to find me. I know the way out.

This prison is very dangerous, not all detainees are as reasonable as I am.

You should be cautious.

After all, I still hope you can survive, so I have hope of leaving."

After speaking.

Wushan Jun waved gently, and the rocks on the water formed a path leading to the other side of the hot spring lake.

Evidently.

This is the way into the deeper parts of this prison.

Baiyu took a deep breath, didn’t ask how to rescue Wushan Jun, nor did he continue to stay here.

After all, those mermaids in the hot spring lake kept watching him.

He felt a little embarrassed.

Besides, this is Wushan Jun’s territory, who knows what might go wrong if he stayed too long, he had just refused a True Monarch’s request, it’s wise to be cautious.

Following the path Wushan Jun laid out.

Baiyu quickly reached the opposite shore of the hot spring lake, only to find connected by a bone corridor.

This is a dedicated passage to the ship’s hold.

Very unique.

"Shen Zhenjun, could he be the Mirage King..." Baiyu thought while moving forward.

The Mirage King is an Evil God.

Reached the True Monarch level, corresponding to the demigod of the Extraordinary Sequence, this also indicates that Shen Zhenjun was probably not far from the Divine Spirit level.

From before when the City Lord on Canglan Star repelled the Mirage King’s offensive, it can be seen that the Sun realm already possesses the power to shake Divine Spirits.
