Please Spare My Life, Disciple of the Demon Lord

Chapter 216 The Secret of Ascension

Jiang Tingwan was stunned.

If we say that betraying Mu Yunzhong was ultimately to use the Hundred Immortal Sects to put him in a desperate situation and destroy the trust he had just established.

Then the opening of the Wuji Abyss after that would be the most critical impact on Mu Yunzhong.

But what is the explanation for this “secret of ascension”?

Jiang Tingwan asked, "Are you giving away the spoiler?"

"Of course, you just didn't understand."

Jiang Tingwan rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you think you look cool when you act mysterious like this?"

I'm really convinced.

Wen Bumian smiled, as if he just remembered something.

"I did forget that although you are the creator of this story, you may not really understand this world. Just like you set up that the Wuji Abyss will be open for three days every hundred years, and these three days are also considered by the three major sects to be the time when the Wuji Abyss is the least dangerous. But why are the days outside of these three days dangerous? I'm afraid even you haven't thought about it."

Wen Bumian's words were full of sarcasm, and Jiang Tingwan's brows furrowed instantly. Close to the face and use the ultimate? Doesn't that mean I'll give up the game if the data is not good? If I really write it later, I will definitely fill it in.

"Why is it dangerous?" Jiang Tingwan asked.

However, he seemed to be keeping the secret and asked a question first, "Do you still remember what I told you, that the story I had experienced intersected with your world in the form of text?"

Hearing this, Jiang Tingwan's eyes flickered with a hint of doubt and uneasiness.

"From that time on, I wondered whether these stories became real because of someone's creation, or whether they existed naturally. In addition to the form of text intersection, are there other forms? I thought about what this form is for a long time until I woke up in this world."

"When I realized that this world was a story I had read before, I immediately focused on the key setting in this story - the Dustless Pearl. I wanted to kill Mu Yunzhong and take the pearl before he became too powerful, but I didn't expect that everything would change qualitatively the moment I met Mu Yunzhong."

"'I felt the same power in his body, it was a kind of attraction and call of like attracting like. That feeling evoked my earliest memory of existence as a consciousness. I vaguely remembered that the original me seemed to exist in someone's body in this way, and kept being reborn with that person. After a long time, I could no longer tell whether the person who was reborn was someone else or myself."

"The moment I saw Mu Yunzhong, I realized that maybe the Dustless Pearl in his body was the same as mine, or maybe Mu Yunzhong and I were the same kind. So I searched all the sources about the Dustless Pearl and found out that Nangong Xiu got it from Wujiyuan. Although the descriptions of Wujiyuan are different, the accumulated memories have confirmed what the other form of the intersection of worlds is."

"Is it Wujiyuan?" Jiang Tingwan's voice followed.

"Not bad!" Wen Bumian affirmed.

Each of his words contained a huge amount of information. Jiang Tingwan felt as if he was standing on the edge of an abyss after listening to him. If he was not careful, he would fall down. The mysteries that were constantly being revealed did not bring clarity, but indescribable shock.

Wen Bumian's subsequent words were like heavy hammers that hit Jiang Tingwan's brain and also impacted her cognition.

He told her that Wujiyuan was not a simple secret realm, but a chaotic space that intertwined many different worlds. Its danger was that the creatures and power settings of the different worlds were different. Whenever they met, it was a collision between the worlds. The reason for the formation of this space was the Wuchen Pearl.

Seven thousand years ago, when the Wuji Abyss was opened, the record of the disaster was: the deep sea cracked, its mouth was like a pearl, swallowing everything in all directions. Fortunately, the three sects worked together to seal it with the five elements, and the storm stopped.

The "mouth like pearl eyes" is not a metaphor, but it is the shape of a bead.

It opened up this world and other worlds. The swallowed worlds repelled and entangled each other, and finally twisted into a special space, forming the present Wujiyuan. This is why everyone's description of Wujiyuan is different, because they see different real worlds.

"This is the power of the Dustless Pearl! If my power is immortality and constant resurrection, then this power, this connection, has already transcended the limitations of time and space. As long as you master this power, you can travel through every world at will, use the most powerful settings in each world, and go to a world of higher dimensions. Find the ultimate rules behind the world."

After Wen Bumian said these words, there was a greedy look in his eyes, which was an extreme ambition.

Jiang Tingwan was speechless, but he felt that his expression was like a performance.

She denied it directly, "No! You are lying. If you just wanted the Dustless Pearl, you could have killed Mu Yunzhong long ago, and there is no need to do all these troublesome things. What's more, you don't need this ability, because your rebirth itself comes with the ability to travel through time. You can even go to different worlds with the memories and abilities of each life."

"Hahaha..." After hearing this, Wen Bumian laughed with an unusual expression, and seemed to be thinking about something during the silent time.

After a long while, he finally answered Jiang Tingwan's question, "Because, I'm lonely."

Jiang Tingwan was stunned, as if he could never expect such an answer.

"The process of searching for the truth is too lonely. I need Mu Yunzhong to become another me, or for Wuchenzhu to become a real conscious existence like me. I even need more of me to appear in the world."

"More of you?" Jiang Tingwan was a little unable to put himself in the picture. He could only think about all the things Wen Bumian had said and try his best to understand the thoughts in such a person's mind.

"Yes!"

But before Jiang Tingwan could think about it, Wen Bumian's expression suddenly became excited, "Mu Yunzhong is the first one, and I will succeed soon. I believe you have seen the second person appear in his body."

Hearing this, Jiang Tingwan felt a chill in his back, "Isn't that person Nangong Xiu?"

"Of course not?" Wen Bumian rejected it directly, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

"How could a mere mortal stay in the Dustless Pearl for a thousand years? The power of the Dustless Pearl is the same as mine. It can transcend time and space. It is a mysterious and powerful existence independent of this world. As long as he can realize his own existence, complete the awakening of consciousness, and break free from the constraints of Mu Yunzhong's settings, he will become another me."
