“Discovered by the Yiye Book…?”
Xu Taiping was first stunned, and then said with some self-blame:
“Is it because when Sister Lingyue you helped me activate the Asura Armor, you used your own strength?”
“No.”
Fairy Lingyue shook her head vigorously.
“Actually, I lied to you.”
She then said with a bitter smile.
“Lied to me?”
Xu Taiping was Confused .
“As long as you leave the True Martial Heaven and enter the Nether Cloud Heaven, whether I use my own strength or not, I will be discovered by the Yiye Book.”
Fairy Lingyue explained.
“But Sister Lingyue you, in order to let the Earth Fruit find that treasure and thus obtain the bargaining chip to trade with the Wuji Immortal in the Linyuan Hall, had to enter the Nether Cloud Heaven.”
Xu Taiping continued Fairy Lingyue’s words, lowered his head and said the guess in his heart, and then raised his head to look at Fairy Lingyue and said:
“So you would say that this is a big bet.”
Fairy Lingyue didn’t speak, just nodded.
After a long time, she said with a face full of apology:
“Sorry Taiping, such an important matter, I shouldn’t have hidden it from you.”
Xu Taiping shook his head vigorously, and then said very seriously:
“Fortunately, Sister Lingyue, you hid it from me. Otherwise, with my character, I definitely wouldn’t take such a risk.”
Upon hearing these words, Immortal Lingyue suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
“So, Taiping, you agree to bet with me once?”
She asked tentatively again.
“Sister Lingyue, how does the scenery above the Transforming Realm compare to that of the Tongxuan Realm and the Refining Spirit Realm?”
Xu Taiping didn’t answer directly but instead asked rhetorically.
Lingyue thought seriously for a while and then replied:
“If we compare cultivators to a fish, the path of breaking through the Tongxuan Realm and the Refining Spirit Realm is equivalent to the path from a small stream or lake to a great river. And the path of breaking through the Transforming Realm is from a great river to the boundless sea. The vastness of the sea is not to be compared with that of a river.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping fell silent again.
Immortal Lingyue thought he was hesitating, and her eyes showed a hint of sadness as she said:
“Actually, for ordinary cultivators, even in a great river, they can still live a carefree life. So if you don’t want to bet this time, you can use the gold essence money in your hand to return to Zhenwu Heaven.”
In fact, when deciding to bet this time, Immortal Lingyue had considered a way out for Xu Taiping. As long as he returned to the Jiasha Palace, used the gold essence money to set up a formation to open the teleportation array, he could return to Zhenwu Heaven and avoid the pursuit of the owner of that leaf of the book.
“Sister Lingyue, is there a vaster world beyond that boundless sea?”
To Fairy Lingyue’s surprise, Xu Taiping was not afraid or scared. Instead, his eyes shone with excitement as he asked her a question that caught her completely off guard.
“Naturally!”
Fairy Lingyue nodded vigorously.
“Sister Lingyue, we have already seen the scenery in the great rivers and lakes. Next, let’s go and explore the scenery of that boundless sea together!”
Xu Taiping looked at Fairy Lingyue with excitement on his face.
At this moment, Fairy Lingyue finally understood that Xu Taiping’s belief in cultivation had never wavered even the slightest bit.
“Aren’t you afraid? This time, there’s a good chance that we will really die in Youyun Heaven.”
Fairy Lingyue said with a serious expression.
“Actually, a little.”
Xu Taiping first smiled awkwardly, and then his eyes became firm as he said:
“But we have come this far with great difficulty. If we go back to Zhenwu Heaven, when my lifespan is exhausted in the future, I will definitely die with regret.”
Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Fairy Lingyue’s face.
In this gambling game, whether it is her or Xu Taiping, if either one of them is not firm enough in their heart, the possibility of winning is not high.
“Taiping, don’t worry. Since it’s a gambling game, there is no such thing as a sure loss or a sure win.”
While speaking, Fairy Lingyue pointed at the leaf-shaped brand on Xu Taiping’s handback and continued:
Although the Leaf Book is a divine object, it’s not omnipotent. Even if it senses my aura, with the vastness of this world, it’s impossible for it to directly find my position.
And as far as I know, after the Leaf Book senses my aura, at least three thousand names of people who might be related to me will appear on it. Then it will plant brands on these three thousand people and screen them one by one. So Taiping, you’re just one of the three thousand people.
So before that, as long as you can go to the Blood Rain Forest to burn the seed and plant the Earth Fruit, and I hide my aura in the Earth Fruit, then the Leaf Book won’t detect it.
After hearing this, Xu Taiping suddenly understood.
“How long does it take for the Leaf Book to screen the three thousand people?”
He asked Fairy Lingyue.
“Under normal circumstances, it takes three months to screen the last person.”
Fairy Lingyue replied.
“Three months is not a short time. If everything goes smoothly, it’s possible to burn the seed and plant the Earth Fruit before that. But the problem is, if we’re unlucky and are screened first, I’m afraid that tomorrow, the owner of the Leaf Book will come after us.”
Xu Taiping muttered.
“I’ve already thought of a countermeasure for this.”
Fairy Lingyue smiled at Xu Taiping, and then extended two fingers and gently wiped them on Xu Taiping’s handback.
The next moment, Xu Taiping was surprised to find that the brand in the shape of an eye had actually disappeared.
“After the soul was completely repaired, my soul power was able to temporarily seal the brand of that leaf of the book, making the owner of that leaf of the book think that your name had already been screened by the leaf of the book once.”
Fairy Lingyue looked at Xu Taiping with a hint of pride in her eyes.
If it weren’t for the complete repair of the soul, then her coming to Youyun Tian this time would not be a bet, but a suicide.
