Chapter 1404: Chapter 372: Seventh Level Realm

Yuchi: "..."

He showed a fellow expression, and indeed removed the chains from the other person. When the other person’s gaze became confused, he succinctly said, "Alright, alright, I believe you now."

"Although your personality has some issues, the fact that you can restrain it is quite good."

"People can’t control their thoughts."

"But the transformation from thought to action can be controlled by oneself. So, if you haven’t done such things, you are inherently a kind person, just like me."

"Pure and spotless, clean."

Hong Linxiu: "..."

Whoa, why do I feel like you circled back and are not praising me, but praising yourself?

However, since the other person has already let me go, it further supports my conclusion—this person isn’t my enemy, isn’t with the Cloud Descending Sect, and really is here to bother the Cloud Descending Sect.

That’s excellent.

"So, senior, what do you plan to do next?"

"The Cloud Descending Sect is quite powerful—they have Cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage, which is a very strong level. So, if your strength hasn’t reached the Nascent Soul Stage, you must be very careful; they have impressive strength and various magical artifacts, so a direct confrontation won’t work."

Yuchi did not answer his question, but instead learned more details about the Cloud Descending Sect from him.

Though he didn’t know Yuchi’s plan, the fact that the other dared to ask such questions—could it be that the other person is stronger than the Nascent Soul Stage?

Although this thought seems silly, it is actually quite normal—are there existences beyond the Nascent Soul Stage? Certainly, the Divinity Transformation Stage is above the Nascent Soul Stage in terms of Cultivators’ strength.

Yet any Cultivators in the Divinity Transformation Stage, after breaking through, are publicly known.

In other words, if a Cultivator can hide his strength before the Nascent Soul Stage, this is understandable.

After all, before the Nascent Soul Stage, the consumption of elixirs and the seeking of realms and secret manuals can mostly be fulfilled by oneself, by one’s own efforts, without needing help from others. Naturally, one can hide one’s cultivation level.

But once the Nascent Soul Stage is reached, the difficulty of cultivation suddenly increases greatly, so if one can break through to the Divinity Transformation Stage in such circumstances, then in the entire large realm of the Nascent Soul Stage, this Cultivator has surely received much help from major forces, becoming a critical part of them.

Hence in this world, there’s practically no such thing as truly anonymous Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators.

And truly renowned Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators wouldn’t bother with the likes of the Cloud Descending Sect; hence Hong Linxiu couldn’t help but ask, "Senior, may I ask, what grudge do you have against the Cloud Descending Sect?"

What grudge? How should I know? Between Cultivators, there’s simply no talk of grudges.

At most, it’s just you wanting to kill me, and I you, that’s it—everything is about interests.

They’re not ordinary people.

No one can protect Cultivators, so once this path is taken, it’s truly harsh.

However, as Hong Linxiu really asked this, Yuchi unexpectedly gave a very simple and extremely convincing answer: "For gold and silver."

Hong Linxiu: "..."

Instantly believing it beyond measure, in this world, nothing matters; whether ordinary person or Cultivator, the pursuit of wealth is a simple and straightforward notion, the most pure and convincing.

Otherwise, if Yuchi were to say it’s for Jianghu justice, to eliminate a wicked sect, or promote the spirit of the Third State’s Cultivators, it would be utter nonsense.

While facing hunger, with no sense of security, they’re spouting such nonsense—away with it!

Yuchi:

"So you don’t need to worry anymore, just stay quietly within the Celestial Capital Department. If anything comes up, I’ll find you."

"Of course."

"You can also choose to run, but I’ve left a trace of Divine Thought on you, so you can run away like a monk but can’t hide, and I don’t want to threaten you, but you do have a sister whom you’ve taken good care of."

Having said this, Yuchi chose to leave.

After Yuchi left, Hong Linxiu’s face gradually displayed a smile. Though he could hardly believe it when he said it himself, he had a premonition that the man before him could indeed deal a significant blow to the Cloud Descending Sect.

Then, as Yuchi said, he would just stay calmly in the Celestial Capital Department and wait.

As things eased up, he also began to examine his surroundings—where exactly was he. Looking around carefully, he realized—to his surprise—he was indeed within the Celestial Capital Department!
