Sweeping both worlds: Starting from idealistic martial arts

Chapter 258 The Truth of the Martial World and the Fourth Transformation Domain

Ji Donglai and the others followed Bai Xiaosheng to the seven-story building.

Fang Can hadn't seen anyone else in the Tianji Tower along the way, so he couldn't help but ask, "Is there no one else in this tower?"

"Why would we need anyone else? The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has always had a single heir in every generation."

Without turning his head, Bai Xiaosheng said, "Whether it's cleaning the Tianji Tower or food, clothing, and daily necessities, I can conjure everything up with just a word, without needing anyone to serve me."

"Then how did you know we were coming? Was it the Yongle Encyclopedia that told you?" the Divine Separator asked.

Bai Xiaosheng stood at an antique square table, and after inviting everyone to sit down, he took out a handful of pure white powder from his robes:

"This is a longevity lock that the first Lord of the Tower received after helping a sixth-level cultivator resolve his doubts."

When everyone looked over, they saw that Bai Xiaosheng's hands were covered in white jade powder, hardly resembling a longevity lock.

"This longevity lock has the function of predicting good and bad fortune, but it will break every time it is used."

"Thanks to this longevity lock, Tianji Tower has survived several calamities that could have wiped out the entire organization."

"By the time it was passed down to my generation, the longevity lock was full of cracks, but it was expected to ward off three more major disasters."

"But it was already shattered like this not long ago, right before this issue of the Heavenly Secrets Ranking was released."

As Bai Xiaosheng spoke, he gently shook the jade shavings in his hand.

"So, you already knew you were in deep trouble when you were standing in front of the Heavenly Secrets Ranking?" the Rotten King said with a smile.

"What else can we do? Leaving the Heavenly Secrets List means death, and not leaving it means instant death," Bai Xiaosheng said helplessly.

In the last issue's Heavenly Secrets Ranking, I tried to be as vague as possible, simply assigning you the highest score without revealing any other information.

But the top 102 spots on the Rising Dragon List are all occupied by you and your woman. I can't even cover for you, okay?

'It seems like it really isn't his fault?' This thought arose in Fang Can's mind.

After all, he had already tried his best to cover it up, but his hundred women had indeed caused too much trouble to hide.

Faced with Bai Xiaosheng's complaints of poverty, Ji Donglai snorted coldly and slapped his hand on the table, leaving a handprint: "What nonsense are you spouting? Are we here to hold you accountable?"

"If it's not your fault, is it also a problem with us superpowered people? Recognize your attitude. If Fang Can weren't kind-hearted, we would have killed you long ago."

Fang Can stopped Ji Donglai, who was siding with his family regardless of right or wrong, and said:

"Let's talk about compensation. You've caused us huge losses and disrupted our policies. If you don't satisfy us, we'll destroy your Tianji Tower."

"Three answers?" Bai Xiaosheng said calmly, "I can answer three of your questions."

"How come there are only three?" the rotten-living king complained.

"Because every answer has a cost, you can only answer a maximum of three."

Bai Xiaosheng said, "I can't say any more, even if you kill me. I have to pay the price for these three questions myself."

"Then I'll beat you to death, and this Heavenly Mystery Tower will be mine too," Superman F sneered.

"I'm sorry, my death is connected to the Heavenly Mystery Tower. I have to personally unlock all the records there. After my death, no information about me will be released."

Bai Xiaosheng said sincerely, "Originally, I could have immediately informed the other countries when I sensed something was wrong, but I haven't said anything yet, which should be enough to show my sincerity, right?" 'Ha, the traitor in the martial arts world speaks so grandly.' Ji Donglai said calmly, "Alright, I promise you, as long as you answer our three questions, we'll leave immediately."

"Please forgive me." Bai Xiaosheng looked at Ji Donglai and said, "Could you ask the young hero Fang inside your body to make this guarantee?"

"Me?" Fang Can asked, puzzled.

Ji Donglai frowned and said, "Don't you trust me?"

In response to Ji Donglai's question, Bai Xiaosheng could only offer an awkward yet polite smile: "Don't you know whether you have credibility or not?"
Fang Can hesitated for a moment before saying, "As long as you can guarantee that you won't leak any information within ten days, I'll guarantee your life."

"Yes, I can absolutely abide by that. With Young Master Fang's guarantee, I feel much more at ease." Bai Xiaosheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Inside Ji Donglai's body, the several superpowered individuals discussed what the three questions they would ask next were.

After several minutes of debate, Fang Can asked first: "The first question is, what do you think is the strongest fourth-level martial artist among all the existing fourth-level martial artists in the entire martial arts world?"

"My second question is, which inheritance do you think is most effective for multi-player combat like ours?"

"The third question is, where are those martial artists who have reached the fourth level or above? Why haven't we seen them anywhere in the martial arts world?"

……

Several minutes later, the group, who had received the answers to the three questions, remained silent for a long time, not expecting such a response.

Whether it was about inheritance or about the martial arts world, it was all beyond their imagination.

According to Bai Xiaosheng, not all of those fifth-level martial artists died. Instead, one day an extraterrestrial being suddenly appeared and took all of them away.

According to that extraterrestrial being, these martial artists were to be taken to another, more expansive world to cultivate.

In order to reach even greater heights, almost all the ambitious martial artists in the martial arts world followed suit, and then disappeared without a trace, directly causing a major stagnation in martial arts among the various countries.

Of course, according to Bai Xiaosheng, only the fifth and sixth turns of this area were taken away.

In reality, the entire martial world is boundless, and they only live in a small part of it, a tiny island, beyond which lies the endless sea.

The Endless Sea is vast and boundless; even a sixth-level cultivator could not reach its end in a year, and ferocious beasts roam the sea.

According to ancient books, the Endless Sea contains many vast landmasses that rival those of other nations, and even contains martial artists who have reached the seventh level or higher.

It was precisely because the Endless Sea was too vast, and the Martial World was too small for a fifth-level cultivator, that when they heard about the visitors from beyond the realm, they basically all followed his guidance and left.

After hearing Bai Xiaosheng's description, the group made a rough comparison.

The entire martial world is similar to a universe in the real world, the Endless Sea is similar to outer space, and the various kingdoms are like orbiting on Earth, making it difficult to find other planets with human inhabitants.

Inside the Heavenly Mystery Tower, the Divine Separator looked at the smiling Bai Xiaosheng and said, "I have another question. My ability is to suppress any extraordinary phenomenon."

"I've tested it before; it can affect anything below the third level, but why couldn't it have any effect on your 'Words Become Law' just now?"

Bai Xiaosheng replied with a smile, "Because when you reach the fourth level, a domain will form around you."

"If those with abilities below the third rank distort reality through powerful inheritance, then the inheritance of the fourth rank is itself part of the rules."
