171: Buddha asked

The Scarlet-Clad Girl left.

After taking back the hongmeng book, she left decisively, without any intention of lingering or chatting further with Floating Slaughter Sword Master.

Watching the Scarlet-Clad Girl's retreating figure, which evolved into wisps of strange mist before disappearing, Floating Slaughter Sword Master's face turned gloomy, as black as the bottom of a pot.

"A new Heavenly Mandate Protagonist has appeared?"

"How could this be? I've searched for so many years and haven't found a single Great World-level villain, yet someone has already gotten ahead of me?"

"I cannot accept this."

A flicker of anger flashed in Floating Slaughter Sword Master's eyes.

Today was too unlucky.

Nearly half of his Luck seeds had been destroyed, and the hongmeng book, which he valued most, had also been taken back.

Moreover, that woman actually said that the Immortal Realm had given birth to a Heavenly Mandate Protagonist more suitable than him, which filled Floating Slaughter Sword Master's heart with immense indignation!

He had worked so hard for so many years, why should his spot be snatched away with just one sentence?!

"Floating Tu, are you returning to the Immortal Realm?"

At this moment, the little gourd Spirit Treasure at his waist slowly spoke.

"Yes."

Floating Slaughter Sword Master answered without hesitation.

Half of his Luck seeds had been extinguished, and now he was extremely far from the Immortal Realm, completely unable to perceive its specific situation.

He said coldly, "I have traveled outside for countless years precisely to kill Great World-level villains. Now that someone has beaten me to it, I must investigate thoroughly."

The little gourd Spirit Treasure asked again, "That woman said that the Heavenly Mandate Protagonist born in the Immortal Realm is even more outstanding than you."

"How do you plan to deal with him? Will you still plant Luck seeds?"

Floating Slaughter Sword Master's eyes turned cold, filled with monstrous killing intent: "Naturally, I will kill him."

"It seems this Hongmeng Divine Alliance is not entirely fair and just."

"I don't believe the Immortal Realm can produce a junior more outstanding than me."

Recalling the Scarlet-Clad Girl's mocking words from before, the chill in Floating Slaughter Sword Master's expression grew even deeper.

The little gourd heard this and said, "There's no need to worry. She only met you once; she doesn't know how outstanding you are."

"Your Heart-Nature is far, far stronger than too many people."

"Among all the masters I've followed, you are the most excellent. Someone more excellent than you simply doesn't exist."

Hearing the little gourd's words, Floating Slaughter Sword Master nodded and said coldly, "So-called Protagonists aren't simply those with good talent, good Luck, strong foundations, who can soar to the heavens. That doesn't make them a Protagonist."

"Only those like me, who have endured hardships, fought their way out of life-and-death tempering step by step, and possess an unrivaled Dao Heart, are true Protagonists."

"Let's go, back to the Immortal Realm."

"Let me see with my own eyes where this so-called imposter Protagonist, who is supposedly much more excellent than me, is stronger."

Cold light flickered in his eyes, and killing intent surged.

His figure left behind endless afterimages, each one shimmering with terrifying spatial Qi.

After Breaking Through to the Quasi Immortal Emperor Realm, even without a sword, his strength had reached an unprecedented Realm.

On the way back to the Immortal Realm, although he spoke dismissively, Floating Slaughter Sword Master's inherent caution, which allowed him to reach this point, would certainly not be lacking.

He swept his hand.

From his God Ocean, he took out several strange Talismans. The Talismans were entirely purple, inscribed with numerous mysterious Dao patterns, and emitted a terrifying aura.

"You want to AsktheHeaven?"

"The Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao is now at odds with you and will definitely make things difficult for you."

The little gourd immediately reminded him when it saw Floating Slaughter Sword Master's actions.

Asking the Heaven meant using special treasures to communicate with the Heavenly Dao.

As long as one paid the price, the Heavenly Dao could provide enlightenment.

Floating Slaughter Sword Master sneered, "Am I afraid of it making things difficult?"

"The Heavenly Dao is ultimately just a set of rules; it must abide by them."

"Even if it's hostile to me now, with these AsktheHeaven Divine Talismans here, as long as I pay a sufficient price, it will be forced by the rules to tell me the answer."

He had already transcended.

Even if he were to enter the Supreme Realm now, he would possess the strength of a hegemon.

Having wandered outside for countless years, his foundation was terrifying beyond imagination.

The resources in his hands were even more frighteningly abundant!

The price required to AsktheHeaven would cause an Immortal King immense heartache, but not him. To him, it was a drop in the ocean.

As he spoke, Floating Slaughter Sword Master ignited the AsktheHeaven Divine Talisman in his hand.

Faint blue immortal flames rose from the Talisman, burning away the strange Dao patterns on it.

"It's you."

"We no longer have any relationship."

Soon, the "Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao" sent a cold response.

Floating Slaughter Sword Master looked at the characters reflected in his eyes and said faintly, "No relationship also requires abiding by the rules."

"I want to AsktheHeaven now. Please answer."

"Alright, within the rules, this Heavenly Dao can only answer three of your questions."

"Each time, the price is: one high-grade immortal king spiritual treasure and three liang of Karma."

Floating Slaughter Sword Master's eyes widened.

Suspecting that his eyes were playing tricks on him, he blurted out, "Why don't you just rob me? Where did such a huge price for asking once come from?"

"We are enemies."

The "Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao" acted very ruthlessly.

Floating Slaughter Sword Master frowned.

This price truly exceeded his imagination.

A high-grade immortal king spiritual treasure was not an ordinary item even for him.

The most outrageous thing was that the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao actually wanted Karma?!

Three liang!

Since when was Karma measured in such units?

"A high-grade immortal king spiritual treasure, I can give."

"Karma, absolutely not."

He decisively refused.

He could afford a high-grade immortal king spiritual treasure, but Karma was hard to collect, and he didn't even know what three liang meant, so he naturally wasn't willing.

"Goodbye."

The Talisman burned out.

Floating Slaughter Sword Master watched as the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao decisively cut off contact.

He stood frozen in place.

Then, an inexplicable irritation welled up in his chest!

Even with his vast wealth, these AsktheHeaven Divine Talismans were not to be wasted casually!!!

"This Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao is truly a bastard."

Floating Slaughter Sword Master forcibly suppressed his anger and lit another AsktheHeaven Divine Talisman.

"Three questions."

"Each time, the price is: one high-grade immortal king spiritual treasure and three liang of Karma."

The "Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao" was even more direct this time.

Floating Slaughter Sword Master was silent for a moment, watching the AsktheHeaven Divine Talisman burn extremely fast, and slowly said, "Alright."

He tossed out a verdant flute, an Immortal King spiritual treasure of High Grade quality.

Then he consecutively threw out two more high-grade immortal king spiritual treasures, and then offered nine liang of Karma.

Nine liang seemed small, but it was actually a lot!

Seeing a large mass of Karma fly out from his body, Floating Slaughter Sword Master's face twisted.

He secretly made a resolution in his heart.

Once I return to the Immortal Realm, I will kill the Heavenly Dao and reclaim all my belongings.

He was too lazy to waste more words with the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao and directly asked, "Who is the newly born Heavenly Mandate Protagonist in the Immortal Realm? Give me his detailed information, the more detailed the better."

The "Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao" was very rule-abiding.

After receiving the items, it immediately sent the information.

"Chu Feng, male, title — Heavenly Emperor."

"Personality: Low-key and friendly."

"Appearance: Very handsome."

"18cm."

Floating Slaughter Sword Master: ?

He waited for a long time, but no further information came.

"That's it???"

Even his usually emotionless face was almost twisted into a knot!

He said, enunciating each word, "I want detailed information."

"One question is so expensive, and that's all the information? What is 18cm? Do I need to know that he's handsome?"

"What I want is his Realm! His strength! What hidden cards he has!"

"Heavenly Dao, I warn you! Don't play with fire!"

"I know you're anxious, but don't be."

"This is all the information I know about the Heavenly Mandate Protagonist. The Heavenly Dao does not lie."

Floating Slaughter Sword Master: "..."

The little gourd was silent for a moment, then slowly reminded him, "The Heavenly Dao Race is the will of rules; it indeed does not lie."

"It seems this is indeed all it knows. Ask the next question."

Upon hearing this, Floating Slaughter Sword Master only felt the Qi in his chest grow even heavier.

After spending such a huge price, all he learned was a name and 18CM. No matter how good one's cultivation, their mentality would explode.

Never mind.

Once I know his origin, when I reach the Immortal Realm, I'll have plenty of ways to find out.

He took a deep breath and asked again, "Is this Chu Feng related to Su Ji? Are they Dao Companions? Tell me the detailed situation between them."

"Yes."

"Su Ji is Chu Feng's star fury."

"Your questions have been answered. Goodbye."

The Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao quickly finished answering. The Talisman burned, and its aura disappeared.

Floating Slaughter Sword Master stood frozen in place.

He was stunned.

Truly stunned.

Three questions, just like that?

Are you f***ing kidding me??

He hadn't even had time to dwell on the matter!

The Heavenly Dao's answer was too explosive.

He thought Su Ji had found a powerful backer and become someone else's Dao Companion.

My Heart Demon, my White Moonlight from childhood, became this Heavenly Emperor's star fury???

Are you kidding me??

This is what that woman said, the place where he is more excellent than me??

I painstakingly left you a glimmer of hope, only for you to become a star fury?

Floating Slaughter Sword Master's ears seemed to echo the gasping sounds that had previously been transmitted through the Luck seeds.

His face changed drastically!

If it had been before Floating Slaughter Sword Master's Breakthrough to Quasi Immortal Emperor, with his ruthless Heart-Nature, hearing this news wouldn't have caused much of a ripple in his heart.

But now, his ruthlessness was even more profound than emotion, and his heart exploded!

He was inexplicably infuriated!

He felt a green hue over his head!

Floating Slaughter Sword Master's speed underfoot grew faster and faster, like a cornered dog.

In an instant, he Transmigrated through countless worlds, only wanting to return to the Immortal Realm to question Su Ji and get a clear answer!

... ...

Immortal Realm, Heavenly Dao Space.

"Hahahahaha!"

"This idiot, so easy to fool."

"I just said it randomly, he wouldn't actually believe it, would he?"

The new Heavenly Dao, currently devouring the aura of the former Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao, was rolling around madly in the Heavenly Dao Space like a husky.

Although it hadn't completely replaced the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao yet, having already grasped most of its authority and memories, it was already considered more than half of the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao.

"I must go tell the great Realm Master this news."

It didn't forget that after becoming the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao, it had to ensure Chu Feng lived a life of luxury.

It immediately took the three high-grade immortal king spiritual treasures and nine liang of Karma it had painstakingly hunted for outside and began searching for Chu Feng's aura.
