Chapter 112 Clash (Part 2)

"Oh, Elder, you're exaggerating. What I did today has nothing to do with my father. Please don't implicate the innocent."

Bai Ke waved his hands exaggeratedly, secretly winked at Ning Fengyi, and then turned back to face Xing Jian.

"Second Elder, I think I understand what you mean. My mistake was coming back alive. Don't you agree?"

He stared intently at Xing Jian's suddenly flustered eyes, thinking to himself, "Looks like it's definitely that old bastard. Humph, one plan failed, and now he's trying to harm me again. Does he really think I'm made of clay?"

Xing Jian was momentarily flustered. Looking into Bai Ke's meaningful eyes, he secretly wondered if Bai Ke already knew about the problem with the sword technique.

His heart was in turmoil, and his words were no longer as logical and methodical as before. He simply mumbled, "Nephew, what are you saying? That's not what I meant..."

Seeing that he had succeeded, Bai Ke immediately said loudly, "Good! Now that I have received the elder's words, I am relieved."

The elder said that a mere small world could not compensate for the damage to the spiritual veins of Tiandu Peak, yet he acknowledged that my nephew had rendered meritorious service to my Tian Ce Palace. Therefore, the gains do not outweigh the losses suffered by the sect, is that correct?

Bai Ke asked with a smile, "The small world of Tian Long Ba Bu is not the ordinary small world you think it is..."

“Exactly! I roughly understand what you mean, Junior Nephew Bai. I won’t deceive you, so as not to be accused of bullying the weak.” Xing Jian said, feigning magnanimity.

A few low chuckles came from the group of elders standing nearby. Now that Xing Jian was no longer as powerful as before, some people dared to openly disrespect him.

Xing Jian didn't take it seriously and said to himself, "If you can prove that the small world is enough to make up for the sect's losses or even more, I will withdraw my accusation, how about it?"

He didn't believe that an ordinary little world could be of much value. In fact, there were ways to fix the damage to the spiritual veins of Tiandu Peak.

However, it would require the people of Wanbaotang to reorganize the earth's veins and set up a spirit-gathering array. Only in the long run could the original state be restored.

Ning Fengyi knew this, which is why she didn't dwell on it for so long. Now that Xing Jian has power in Wanbaotang, how much loss he has is just a matter of a few words from him.

"I'm just reminding you out of your youth and ignorance, since that world is limited to the Golden Core stage, the spiritual resources it produces are not enough to make me retract my accusations!"

"Listen to me, if you admit your mistake, the only punishment will be three years of solitary confinement, which will save you from implicating your father's upbringing."

With the situation seemingly settled, Xing Jian has finally revealed his true intentions.

With less than three months until the Holy Son Election, and three years of seclusion, Bai Ke is definitely not in time to participate, so naturally he cannot pose a threat to his son Lin Xiu.

As for why it's already a done deal, and why Xing Jian determined that the output of the Tianlong Babu small world is insufficient, that involves the discoveries made in the Shan Hai Realm in recent years.

Although they have already embarked on the path of external expansion, all the sects in the Mountain and Sea Realm who aspire to explore the outer starry sky are still tirelessly exploring the secrets of the world.

The different levels of these small worlds result in different outputs. Taking the Tianlong Babu small world as an example, Bai Ke could clearly feel that the concentration of spiritual energy there was far inferior to that in the Shan Hai Realm.

Only a very few places might be comparable to the Mountain and Sea Realm. For example, Bai Ke discovered that the concentration of spiritual energy was still very high on the stone path of Lingjiu Palace.

Of course, if it were in the Mountain and Sea Realm, it would be a completely different world. The cultivation limit there has been unreachable for many years.

This is the highest-level world that cultivators in the Mountain and Sea Realm have discovered at this stage, even though it is said that one can ascend to the Immortal Realm after reaching the Mahayana stage.

But since no one has been able to reach that level in all these years, it is not considered.

Seeing that Xing Jian had taken the initiative to withdraw the charges, Bai Ke raised an eyebrow and continued, "There's no need for the Second Elder to worry about that. I just hope you won't deny it later."

Xing Jian snorted coldly, "Hmph! I always speak with reason and evidence. As long as you can do it, I will personally plead with the sect leader on your behalf."

"Haha, good! It's a deal then, I'll remember your words!" Bai Ke replied with a loud laugh.

"Hmph! Opportunistic and cunning, at such a young age you don't even know how to admit your mistakes and correct them, yet you dare to try to defend yourself with clever words. I'll see how you twist the truth!"

Xing Jian still didn't realize what Bai Ke was trying to do, and thought that Bai Ke was trying to cheat from somewhere else.

It was truly the long-standing global colonial scheme that misled him, making him never imagine that a mere inferior world could possess such exquisite skills; it was simply inconceivable.

On the way back, Bai Ke kept thinking about this matter. Ning Fengyi speculated that the cultivation limit of that small world was the Nascent Soul Realm.

Why is it so difficult for martial artists in the novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" to even break through to the Innate Realm? You know, in other worlds controlled by the Tian Ce Palace, there are even several Golden Core Realm cultivators at the top level.

Unable to figure it out, Bai Ke stopped trying to think about it. He figured the truth would come out eventually, and if he couldn't figure it out himself, wouldn't Tian Ce Palace find the reason?

For now, we should get past Xing Jian first. This incident also served as a reminder to Bai Ke that he must never slip up in the future, otherwise he will always be caught red-handed, which will be extremely annoying.

Having made his own plans, Bai Ke then spoke slowly and deliberately to Xing Jian and the others present.

"As for its value, I have already mentioned it before, but unfortunately neither the sect leader nor the elders seem to believe it. Well then, today I will explain it to you all in detail."

"As you elders can see, I have now broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm. I'm sure you elders know better than I how difficult it is to break through cultivation barriers."

He glanced around and saw that all the elders were nodding in agreement; his words had truly resonated with them.

How many people here are still unable to make any progress? Isn't it because of that barrier to cultivation?

"Hmph! Nonsense. Does Junior Nephew Bai intend to say that there are divine objects in that small world that can help people break through cultivation barriers?"

Xing Jian scoffed, and seeing that the other elders were quite tempted, he couldn't help but shout sternly, "Everyone! We started from humble beginnings and have gone through hundreds of years of hard work to reach where we are today!"

Please ask yourselves honestly, how rare is such a divine object that can help people of our level break through the barriers of cultivation?

Even in the realm of mountains and seas, such a thing is extremely rare, let alone in a mere small world. Do you all really think it's possible?
