Li Zheng simply stopped pretending and openly asked, "Do you understand the concept of the universe?"
"I understand!" Yan Jinjin imdiately replied, "Heaven and earth, profound and yellow, the universe vast and wild—this is the division of cultivation technique tiers, everyone on the Central Earth Continent knows it."
"...Tsk!"
Li Zheng felt his molars itch a bit, suddenly realizing how terrifying it was to communicate with an ignoramus.
This is just absurd!
He thought for a mont and asked again, "Do you know what a planet is?"
"Planet?"
Yan Jinjin was puzzled. Why is this celestial being... no, this great demon, talking about things he barely understands?
A thought flashed through his mind—could the great demon... no, the celestial being be giving him guidance?
Yan Jinjin quickly said, "I don’t understand, please enlighten , venerable immortal."
"Oh, co on!" Li Zheng was at a loss for words. "You don’t see stars often?"
"I see them!" Yan Jinjin suddenly understood, "The stars you speak of are celestial Dao images. There are ways of cultivation on the Central Earth Continent that harness the power of stars, transforming the myriad stars into different Dao images and integrating them into the Purple Mansion Palace. When faced with an enemy, they activate the Dao image to unleash deadly intent!
I once had the fortune of sparring with soone from the Star Palace and barely won by half a move."
Actually, it wasn’t barely winning by half a move at all.
At that ti, he was beaten so badly he was searching the ground for his teeth. If the people from the Star Palace hadn’t been magnanimous and spared him, he would have been dead two hundred years ago.
Li Zheng listened and was silent for a long ti.
He finally understood that this mysterious "cultivator" was rely from a peculiar civilization that hadn’t even left its own planet and hadn’t grasped the concepts of planets and the universe. They might even think the land under their feet is a flat square continent.
Li Zheng, with so difficulty in holding back his patience, continued questioning, "Can you fly?"
"I can!" Yan Jinjin promptly answered, "A cultivator reaching the Nascent Soul Cultivation can fly through the air. It’s no difficult task. Before reaching that level, one can also control objects to ride the skies."
"You can fly, great! Have you ever tried flying continuously in one direction?" Li Zheng asked promptly.
"This..." Yan Jinjin hesitated, thinking it was a prerequisite for learning the celestial being’s cultivation technique, he honestly answered, "I haven’t, but I’ve heard of soone who did. They flew in one direction, and beyond the continent lies the endless sea. The endless sea is boundless, with scattered islands dotted throughout. If one persists in flying non-stop, one will co across a piece of land, but that land is just the other direction of the Central Earth Continent.
A senior once said, the endless sea is bound by an immortal’s restriction. Anyone entering it doesn’t see its true form but is instead sent in the opposite direction of the continent by an illusionary array. It shows the immortals’ rcy, sparing mortals from the sin of offense, while warning the world not to cross the endless sea recklessly with this divine power."
Alright, it’s confird. The place Yan Jinjin is from is indeed another planet with intelligent life, seemingly resembling Water Blue Star and Earth in appearance almost identically, even sharing the sa language.
However, Yan Jinjin’s ho civilization is truly peculiar. Soone managed to circle their planet yet failed to realize that the ground beneath their feet is round?
Moreover, Yan Jinjin also said that they could fly in the air at the Nascent Soul Stage. Haven’t they tried fly high enough to have a look?
Li Zheng posed this question aloud.
Yan Jinjin replied, "What do you an? Is the Nine Heavens not the Immortal Realm? A cultivator can only ascend to beco an immortal after completing the Mahayana Stage and surviving the three-nine Celestial Tribulation, gaining eternal life.
Before that, hidden within the clouds of the Nine Heavens are the Celestial Thundertribulation clouds, where those lacking cultivation daring to fly within will be struck by Celestial Thunder, turning to ashes without a burial place!"
What kind of Celestial Tribulation...
Li Zheng, just hearing this, knew that a frightened idiot flying too high must have gone into the dark clouds, mistaking the lightning generated by cloud currents for the so-called Celestial Tribulation Thundercloud, got so scared they fled back and spread that rumor to cover their cowered truth.
After conversing with Yan Jinjin for a while, Li Zheng found his doubts were not lessened but increased.
For instance: Where exactly is Yan Jinjin from? Is there another intelligent race within their current universe that the Terminal and Emotion Storm have yet to discover?
Then there’s: What is this so-called cultivation technique exactly? How can it extend life while condensing one’s Spiritual Body to such a terrifying degree?
So many in the Outer City have researched this for countless years and still haven’t figured out the thod to condense nodal points. Yet they inexplicably achieve greater results with these so-called cultivation techniques?
And, most importantly.
Why is the language used in Yan Jinjin’s holand also Mandarin?
Moreover, Yan Jinjin’s accent sounds very much like soone from the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
Originally, it seed strange enough that Water Blue Star was so similar to Earth. Now another more bizarre civilization has appeared, all three sharing one language, genuinely eerie.
Additionally, what is this Celestial Tribulation that Yan Jinjin speaks of?
A natural phenonon?
What natural phenonon could frequently play with lightning hitting people?
Lastly, the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Nourishing Yuan Pill provided by the Treasure Chest System previously, could they originate from Yan Jinjin’s holand?
Li Zheng’s mind was riddled with suspicions, while Yan Jinjin was equally puzzled.
This supposed immortal seed to be an ignoramus, even unaware of many things that ordinary people, who do not cultivate, know, yet needed to ask him about them.
In all honesty, Yan Jinjin had begun doubting whether Li Zheng was truly an immortal.
Unfortunately, the opponent’s Primordial Spirit was too vast for him to muster the will to resist, forcing him to remain patient and wait for an opportunity to escape and discover the truth on his own soday.
Sadly, Li Zheng wouldn’t give him that chance.
Li Zheng contemplated briefly before deciding to carve out so Spiritual Power to engrave the Contract Rune from Mudala nearby, and told Yan Jinjin, "Use your thod to carve this rune onto , and you can leave."
"This is..."
Seeing the rune clearly, Yan Jinjin didn’t recognize its specific aning but had seen sothing similar by coincidence.
"An Immortal Rune!"
Inwardly, he exclaid, dismissing the thought that the person in front wasn’t an immortal.
If this person wasn’t an immortal, how could they know Immortal Runes?
It appears the immortal was satisfied with his response and was about to teach him the Immortal Runes?
If he could learn the Immortal Runes, there would be no need for pursuing the path of a Loose Immortal.
He might even beco an immortal right on the spot!
This Immortal Rune should test his talent, only when perfectly carved as the immortal said, proving his ability, might he earn the qualification to learn more Immortal Runes!
Yan Jinjin, heartened, was eager to attempt, using his "Divine Sense" to replicate the Immortal Rune.
After several attempts, he succeeded in leaving a complete imprint on Li Zheng’s Spiritual Body.
At the mont the imprint ford, Yan Jinjin’s eyes lost their brilliance, mindlessly knelt, kowtowing, and declared, "Subordinate pays respects to the Master!"
