Chapter 68: The Road Behind

  "What method does Shidi have to help us avoid the scrutiny of the Yuan Ying period's old monster?" Zhang Heng leaned against the cave wall, his face filled with surprise and admiration for Wu Ling.

  Wu Ling lightly exhaled a breath, slightly pondered for an instant, before asking: "How much do you know about the Blood Kill God Emperor?"

  "Blood Kill God Emperor?" Zhang Heng didn't expect Wu Ling to ask such a seemingly unrelated question, but still replied: "I don't know much about him, only that he was a great cultivator 100,000 years ago, with a cultivation level that looked down on the world, undefeated in battle, and almost destroyed the entire Eastern Cloud Continent's cultivation civilization. For some reason, he left behind nine caves in the Three Star Domain, attracting the envy of countless cultivators."

  Wu Ling listened and did not deny Zhang Heng's words. In a slightly low and depressed tone, he said: "What you know is only part of his life..."

  "A hundred thousand years of cultivation history, how many truths have been submerged in the torrent of billions? I also found some accounts of the life and death of the Blood Killing God Emperor from many broken ancient books, and made many analyses of his character from some subtle clues. The Blood Killing God Emperor, he is not only a powerful god with shocking strength, but also a great wise man with high vision!"

  "In my opinion, the life of Blood Kill Emperor is absolutely brilliant, his luck is also extremely good. At a young age, he inherited the mysterious art of the ancient times from a certain secret cave... In the following thousands of years, he laughed proudly at the sky, looked down on the world, swept across the six directions, and almost no one in the realm could find an enemy to match him. Moreover, he often took a step ahead to predict the development direction of things, and had also resolved several major calamities in the cultivation world..."

  Wu Ling's face still had a hint of yearning and admiration, as if he wished he could have been born in the era when the Blood Killing God Emperor was alive.

  Zhang Heng was slightly stunned, never expecting that the Blood God Emperor, who had been known for his ruthless killings and bloodshed in his mind, would receive such an evaluation from Wu Ling.

  However, in the history of 100,000 years, "the truth" may not necessarily be true.

  "You say, a great divine being like the Blood Kill Emperor would leave behind nine caves in the Three Star Domain without any reason? I dare to confirm that there is still some profound mystery hidden inside, or perhaps there are some unspeakable secrets within."

  Zhang Heng remained silent, but he still agreed with Wu Ling's words. He also didn't believe that the Blood Kill Emperor would go crazy and leave nine caves in the Three Star Domain for no reason.

  "The cave mansion of Fang Yunshan was left by the Blood Kill Emperor, which is beyond doubt. However, judging from Fang Yunshan's gains from entering the cave four times, he did not obtain what the Blood Kill Emperor truly left behind."

  "Every time someone enters the Blood Kill Cave, it's always some low-ranking Qi Refining cultivators. Think about it, after they obtain the treasures inside the cave, will they have the ability to protect themselves?"

  Zhang Heng nodded and said, "With those high-ranking cultivators guarding the entrance of the cave, even if the low-ranking cultivators who obtained the treasure left the cave, they could only obediently hand it over."

  Wu Ling smiled faintly: "Yes, if that's the case, then what's the point of the Blood Kill God Emperor's painstakingly established cave mansion? Why can only foundation-building cultivators enter?"

  "The one who truly obtains the Blood Kill Emperor's robe and scepter will only be someone who has gone through various trials and has been recognized by the Blood Kill Emperor. Do you think the Blood Kill Emperor would not have considered the low-level cultivators who obtained these treasures?"

  Zhang Heng listened and felt that it made more sense, his face showing a hint of joy as he said: "In that case, the Blood Kill Emperor had already anticipated today's outcome? But how would he protect these low-ranking cultivators who obtained the treasures?"

  The smile at the corner of Wu Ling's mouth became even more radiant, and he said to Zhang Heng: "I'll tell you another piece of information. Every time cultivators enter the cave mansion, they will be randomly teleported to a certain location within it. A month later, they will be teleported out again."

  "Transmission?" Zhang Heng's eyes lit up, "So to speak, if we obtain the true treasure left behind by the Blood Kill Emperor, we can send it to a safe place through some means."

  Wu Ling nodded and said: "Since the Blood Killing God Emperor has the ability to transmit cultivators at will, it is very likely that he will use this method to protect those who have obtained the treasure."

  Zhang Heng's face was filled with joy, he didn't expect that the thing he was worried about would be solved by Wu Ling like this. At the same time, he also admired Wu Ling's extraordinary wisdom. As a otaku from Earth, compared to him, Wu Ling was indeed far superior.

  It's okay, Zhang Heng felt that Ou Ling seemed to have no malice towards him, and he didn't know what unknown relationship they had between them.

  After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Heng suddenly said: "Your inference is very reasonable, but inferences are just inferences after all, and they may not be close to the truth. In just a few hundred years, the secret of Fang Yunshan's cave was leaked. And what about the 100,000-year history of cultivation? How many unpredictable factors will there be? What kind of person is the Blood Killing God Emperor? These are all your inferences. What if, what if your inference is wrong? Wouldn't we be out of luck?"

  "So, I have a second way to be carefree." Wu Ling's face was filled with a few strands of eerie smile.

  Zhang Heng suddenly remembered that Wu Ling had stretched out two fingers earlier.

  "Do you have any other trump cards?" Zhang Heng asked curiously.

  Wu Ling smiled: "This secret can't be told to you for the time being, if my guess is incorrect, this trump card will let you know."

  Zhang Heng looked at him with a somewhat depressed expression, but there was nothing he could do. This person was indeed extremely mysterious and had many means at his disposal. He could only be friends with him, not enemies.

  "Also, I have something else to warn you about." Wu Ling said with a serious face.

  Zhang Heng hastily composed himself and said: "What is it, please speak."

  Wu Ling said, "This Poison Demon Sect indeed has several extremely vicious poisons or poisonous insects and the like. These things are extremely troublesome to deal with. In those years, Tang Fangzhou was also hit by this move, causing his primordial spirit to be poisoned and decline, ultimately only able to die in despair."

  "I don't know if you have any way to deal with these things," Zhang Heng asked calmly.

  Wu Ling's mouth curved into a faint smile as he said, "Only two words: be cautious."

  Zhang Heng was slightly disappointed, thinking that Wu Ling would take out some kind of antidote, but he also had to admit that what Wu Ling said made a lot of sense.

  However, Zhang Heng believed that in terms of defense against poison, he had a strong suit. As someone who practiced the Deviant Technique, Zhang Heng originally possessed a superhuman physique that was immune to all poisons. The last time he was affected by Luo Xue's move was because she used an innate divine ability, not some ordinary poisonous mist or something similar, and even then, it was hard for her to pose a mortal threat to him.

  "I have some antidotes and medicine powder here that can counter the Poisonous Demonic Sect's poison." Wu Ling surprisingly took out a porcelain bottle and a packet of blue medicine powder from his storage bag.

  Zhang Heng pouted and took the two things with a somewhat depressed mood, feeling that Ou Ling was just like Old Master Ouyang, both of whom liked to show off.

  "Caution is most important, these antidotes may not necessarily work." Wu Ling reminded.

  Zhang Heng was slightly stunned, and only then did he understand Wu Ling's intention. The other party was also telling himself not to rely too much on these external objects, caution was the first priority.

  After putting all these things into the storage bag, Zhang Heng said: "This place is quite far from Duan Cliff Mountain. I'd better go back early to avoid arousing Ouyang Tiande's suspicion."

  Wu Ling chuckled: "Don't worry, Ouyang Tiande probably doesn't have the energy to deal with you right now."

  Zhang Heng's strange question was: "Why?"

  "It's all because Ouyang Tiande cultivated the Zi Ji Xuan Mo Gong..." Wu Ling's smile still had a hint of chilliness.

  Seeing Wu Ling's expression, Zhang Heng felt that Ou Yang Tian De might have really encountered some big trouble.

  And who else can pose a threat to Ouyang Tiande besides Fang Yunshan?

  The answer is naturally obvious...
