A Top Scholar in Everything

Chapter 1275: Chapter 1261: Return

The momentum from these two was formidable, like two mountains, intimidating everyone around, and none dared to come within a hundred meters.

According to the classification of the Sacred Center Imperial.

These two.

Have definitely reached the Saint stage.

At this moment.

The old Taoist from Carefree Temple chuckled, with a half-crazed look on his face, looking at these two overbearing figures with disdain:

"Living like this, what’s the point, just walking corpses. Given the chance, would you dare to make a move?"

The old Taoist said coldly: "Once you make a move, your bodies, which should have long been buried, will immediately dissolve. Even if you miraculously survive, you’ll only become a cripple, no matter how many Dao Species you have, you can’t recover."

In that instant.

The old Taoist exuded a formidable aura, staring at the sky: "This Immortal Cultivation Realm has long needed change. Even if you seize the Blood Qi of those from the Outer World, how much longer can you live?"

At this moment.

Baiyu finally understood why these cultivators kept coming to kill him one after another.

It turned out to be to replenish energy for their Supreme Elder.

Like vampires.

And this old Taoist.

Clearly not simple.

A battle was about to unfold, yet Baiyu, the cause of this conflict, had somehow moved away from the eye of the storm.

It seemed the old Taoist had clashed with them.

Moreover.

Both sides were old friends, with seemingly deep grievances, ready to fight at the slightest disagreement.

And since Baiyu’s departure.

Not much time had passed.

The two in the sky suddenly fell silent, seemingly contemplating how to deal with the old Taoist.

However.

In the end, they didn’t start fighting.

After much deliberation, the two finally retreated; facing the crazed old Taoist, neither seemed willing to provoke him further.

In the end.

The cultivators on the mountain all retreated as well, realizing Baiyu was not easy prey, they seemed unwilling to continue losing lives.

The two overbearing Supreme Elders also disappeared into the clouds, fading away.

The old Taoist snorted through his nose and then looked at Baiyu: "Looks like they all left, why not come in for a chat while there’s still time?"

Baiyu raised an eyebrow and smiled: "It seems you, Taoist, are quite idle, aren’t you afraid of a demon like me from beyond the heavens?"

"It’s just that these people want the Dao Species you arduously cultivated in your bodies to extend their own lives. The power cultivated by people from the Outer World greatly aids their longevity."

"I see, everyone must die eventually. Judging by their ages, they’re probably over a thousand years old by now?"

"Pretty much, but I’ve heard there are Immortals in the Outer World." The old Taoist said with a smile.

Baiyu responded truthfully: "Immortals just have longer lifespans, they aren’t truly eternal. Even Divine Spirits fall, let alone mortals."

The old Taoist nodded.

"If given a chance, I’d like to visit the Outer World, to see your world... However, the Profound Origin Realm must change, or it will be destroyed by them."

The old Taoist took a deep breath.

Baiyu smiled: "There will be a chance, and if I am lucky enough to survive after leaving this time, I will come back to have a look."

They chatted for a while.

Zhao Mingzhu appeared at the door.

He looked rather disheveled, but manageable, at least not seriously injured.

"Brother Zhao, why are you doing this, I’m bound to leave sooner or later, why cause trouble with those people for me?"

Baiyu said solemnly.

Zhao Mingzhu smiled slightly, indifferent: "I just chose the path I wanted in my heart. Remember to come back and visit if you have the opportunity after you leave."

"Will you be alright?"

"Don’t worry, I have some life-preserving methods within the Profound Origin Realm, I wouldn’t dare act rashly if I couldn’t ensure my safety."

Zhao Mingzhu said with a smile.

Baiyu nodded.

Finally, they had a pleasant chat about the situation of the Outer World and the customs within the Profound Origin Realm, and it was finally time to leave.

In Baiyu’s pocket.

The token that Flower Bud had given him earlier was now emitting a faint glow, then his body was enveloped in white light.

The old Taoist and Zhao Mingzhu witnessed this wondrous scene.

The way these outsiders left was completely different from the scene of ascension among the powerful beings of the Profound Origin Realm.

Watching Baiyu’s body gradually disappear from before them.

Both felt a bit envious in their hearts.

If they had no knowledge of the vast world outside, perhaps they wouldn’t feel this way, but after hearing Baiyu’s description, they only felt the Profound Origin Realm was a tiny Lower Realm.

Even without using the ascension method.

They could reach the Upper Realm!

To a world rich in Spiritual Qi.

This is irresistible for every cultivator.

...

As the light gathered.

Baiyu found he had finally returned.

Within the Myriad Flower Valley.

The fragrance of flowers filled the air.

However, different from the previous Myriad Flower Valley, in this one, statues stood tall on all four sides, like giants rising up.

There were a total of four statues.

Standing sky-high.

Each was a hundred meters tall.

Flower Bud stood in the center of the Myriad Flower Valley, smiling as she looked at Baiyu: "Congratulations, you’ve passed the third trial."

Baiyu didn’t feel much joy in his heart.

If it weren’t for the inability to leave the White Bone Giant Ship, he wouldn’t have come to compete for this Prison Warden, it seemed this was the only way out.

Baiyu looked at Flower Bud, this old mountain as he was, and asked solemnly: "What kind of place is the Profound Origin Realm?"

"A planet, but there’s a Spirit Realm barrier all around it, and any cultivator wanting to leave has to ascend.

Their so-called ascension is the act of breaking through the planet’s barrier."

Flower Bud explained.

Baiyu nodded and then took a deep breath, "When will the next fourth trial begin?"

"You’ll have to wait for a while because you entered the Profound Origin Realm early, so you came out early. Many others are still inside and haven’t completed the trials."

Flower Bud explained.

"What if those who haven’t completed the trials exceed the time limit and haven’t returned, how will they come back?"

Baiyu continued to ask.

Flower Bud explained: "That would mean failing the trial, and the usual consequence of failing the trial is death.

If they can’t return.

There are only two possibilities.

One is death.

The other is the token being taken.

Then they’ll remain in the Profound Origin Realm unless they can seize a token from others."

"Then the contestants from past trials are likely still living within the Profound Origin Realm, trying to seize the eligibility of those who enter later to escape, isn’t it?"

Baiyu asked solemnly.

"Yes, so there are many dangers within the Profound Origin Realm." Flower Bud laughed, "However, it seems you didn’t encounter those situations."

"Yeah, I’m just lucky, can I know the content of the next trial now?"

Baiyu asked.

Flower Bud thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, the content of the next trial is about ascension in the Profound Origin Realm."
