232: The Secret of Chihongzhou, a Big Lie

Hearing the girl's words, Jiang Lan knew that although they were both Human Race members, their thinking and standpoints were completely different.

Jiang Lan did not object to what the girl said.

But he also absolutely did not agree.

At the very least, he absolutely did not agree now.

As for what Jiang Lan would think tens of thousands of years later, he himself did not know now.

The girl shrugged.

"In short, now, across the entire Chihong Province continent, the strongest are us Soul Transformation cultivators."

"And now, the path ahead has been cut off. So, why should we still kill each other? Even if one side achieves final victory, what's the point?"

"All the resources of the entire Chihong Province are within our grasp. As long as we want something, we can have it."

Jiang Lan did not speak.

That's right.

At this moment, he could barely understand the girl's thoughts.

There are no eternal friends or enemies, only eternal interests.

And now, the girl and the other Soul Transformation cultivators were the group with the highest status in the entire Chihong Province.

There were only about twenty of them in total, and no matter how extravagant they were, the resources of an entire province like Chihong Province were enough for them.

Who got a little more, who got a little less, the resources were completely overflowing, so there was no need to fight over them at all.

It was precisely because of this that they were able to coexist peacefully.

But then, another question lingered in Jiang Lan's mind.

"Since you said that you are all friends with each other, why was Green Lantern Goddess severely wounded by a few members of the Human Race working together?"

"You mean Green Lantern?" The girl had no intention of hiding anything from Jiang Lan and said directly, "She was injured because she went to the Bodhi Secret Realm, but the existence of the Bodhi Secret Realm is an absolute secret among us, which cannot be told to outsiders. A peak Soul Transformation expert suddenly getting injured always needs a reason."

Jiang Lan understood.

It turned out that the drama of Green Lantern Goddess being suppressed for violating the rules was just a play they put on together.

Moreover, listening to the girl, Green Lantern Goddess's strength was definitely not weak.

Because she just used the words 'peak Soul Transformation expert' and not 'the peak expert of Soul Transformation.'

A single word difference, a world of difference.

For most cultivators, Soul Transformation was already considered peak.

But if one Soul Transformation cultivator said another Soul Transformation cultivator was a peak expert, then Green Lantern Goddess's strength was probably at the ninth level of Soul Transformation.

Perhaps even Soul Transformation Perfection.

Now, Jiang Lan was full of doubts.

He asked:

"What exactly is Green Lantern Goddess's strength, and what kind of place is the Bodhi Secret Realm?"

Jiang Lan could understand a Secret Realm, but one that could injure a peak Soul Transformation expert... Didn't they say that the strongest in Chihong Province now were Soul Transformation cultivators?

"Don't rush." The girl said, "Since you have entered Soul Transformation, no matter what you think in your heart, you are one of us. I will not hide anything from you. I will tell you everything that needs to be said."

Jiang Lan nodded, waiting for the girl to continue.

The reason the girl showed him kindness, she had already said herself.

According to the girl, no Soul Transformation cultivator had appeared in Chihong Province for two thousand years.

Having a new friend was naturally a happy thing.

Therefore, Jiang Lan was not worried that the girl would lie to him.

Even if she did lie to him, she certainly wouldn't lie about such common knowledge.

Although Jiang Lan knew nothing now, that didn't mean he would know nothing later.

Now, with his strength, what he needed to understand would only be a matter of time.

"I'd like to hear the details."

The girl continued.

"You asked about Green Lantern's Realm, I'll tell you. She is at Soul Transformation Perfection. She has been for thirty thousand years."

Jiang Lan's pupils constricted slightly.

Soul Transformation Perfection.

This Realm, if it weren't for that Severing the Connection Between Heaven and Earth, she would probably have already broken through Soul Transformation and entered the Void Return Realm, right?

And, she was already at Soul Transformation Perfection thirty thousand years ago, how old must Green Lantern Goddess be this year?

Jiang Lan was secretly astonished, but he didn't expect that what would surprise him even more was yet to come.

The girl's next sentence made Jiang Lan's eyes widen involuntarily.

"Not just Green Lantern, including me, all the Soul Transformation Realm cultivators you know are at Soul Transformation Perfection."

"Ah?"

When these words came out, Jiang Lan was truly a bit stunned.

Green Lantern Goddess being at the Realm of Soul Transformation Perfection was already somewhat beyond his imagination, but this woman actually said that all Soul Transformation cultivators were at Soul Transformation Perfection?

"What? Are you very surprised?"

The girl looked at Jiang Lan with a half-smile.

Nonsense, how could he not be surprised?

Jiang Lan asked again:

"Didn't you say that the last Soul Transformation cultivator only broke through two thousand years ago? Did he also reach Perfection?"

Although Jiang Lan didn't know who this person who broke through two thousand years ago was, that didn't stop Jiang Lan from asking.

Two thousand years, seemingly not short, but it also depends on who you're talking about.

The lifespan of ordinary Soul Transformation Realm experts is generally around seventy to eighty thousand years.

However, this number was something Jiang Lan had seen in an ancient book before, and he didn't know the veracity of the number.

But even if it wasn't exact, it was probably close.

And the higher the Realm, the more difficult cultivation becomes.

Before, when Jiang Lan used the System to infuse lifespan to break through Realms, one Realm would take tens or even hundreds of thousands of years.

Two thousand years, from newly entering the Soul Transformation Realm to Soul Transformation Perfection, was a bit too incredible.

Hearing this, the girl shrugged again, "Of course not, it's not that simple to reach Perfection. He died."

"Died?"

How could a Soul Transformation cultivator die?

Reached the end of his lifespan?

Impossible.

He only broke through two thousand years ago, how could it be the end of his lifespan?

But if it wasn't the end of his lifespan, then there were only two possibilities left.

The first was that he was killed by other Soul Transformation cultivators.

But looking at the girl's attitude towards him, Jiang Lan felt that the probability of the first possibility happening could not be said to be zero, but only minuscule.

And the second possibility was only that Bodhi Secret Realm.

Green Lantern Goddess, being at Soul Transformation ninth level Perfection, could still get injured entering the Secret Realm, so it wouldn't be strange for other Soul Transformation Realm cultivators to die if they entered.

Jiang Lan didn't keep guessing.

After all, the person who knew the answer was right in front of him.

"How did he die?"

"He died trying to break through the Secret Realm." The girl answered very directly, "Everyone who breaks through to Soul Transformation will be pulled into the Secret Realm once. However, the Secret Realm is full of dangers.

"But you know, those who can still break through to Nascent Soul and enter the Soul Transformation Realm under the restrictions of Severing the Connection Between Heaven and Earth are all Geniuses among Geniuses."

"Being overly confident is also unavoidable."

Speaking of this, the girl's face showed a smile again.

"I still remember, two thousand years ago, I told him similar things to what I told you, and I even specifically told him not to enter the Secret Realm. Even if he did enter, he must retreat in time, but how does that saying go? Yes, good advice is wasted on those destined to die."
