Chapter 225, Ye Bai's heart
readx;
The black-clothed leader looked at Ye Bai and continued: "To put it mildly, only with the infinite resource supply of my Qitian Pavilion, can you have a chance to quickly advance to the peak of the Xuan King...... As long as you are quickly promoted to the peak of the Xuanzun, you will have the possibility of winning the high position of Xuanzun before your life, before the time limit comes......"
"Only by attaining the position of the king can you really see the world clearly, see what the world is like and how big it is!".
"Otherwise, most people, even if they go out from us and become the Xuan King, they will only be a little Xuan King who is unknown and has disappeared in the pile of sentient beings for the rest of their lives!"
If the black clothes were in charge, Ye Bai agreed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The places mentioned in his words, and some of the real secrets of this world revealed, also made Ye Bai really throb and stir.
But...... The words he said later made Ye Bai's heart feel a sense of disgust.
Everyone's life...... There are many needs, but there is no doubt that the greatest need is freedom.
Achieving the position of a strong man is certainly the pursuit of many people, but because of this pursuit, he gave up some other things, which Ye Bai could not do.
He is a man who admires freedom very much, he likes the feeling of being free and at ease, and he does not want to be bound by any constraints.
Even if there are many promises made by Qitian Pavilion, no matter how deep the temptation is.
He also believed that with the sword and stone, one day, even if he didn't rely on Qitian Pavilion, he would be able to prove the position of the king and go to those places.
-- Rely on your own true strength, not on anyone.
But on the surface, he still didn't show it, he just showed a smile and asked the black-clothed man sitting opposite.
"You are telling me so much, undoubtedly to tell me that this world is very big, and the Xuanwang-level powerhouse is not the end, but just the beginning, there are still many unknown places, and there are still many limitations...... A Xuanwang-level powerhouse can't do whatever he wants, right?"
The black-clothed leader glanced at Ye Bai suspiciously, not knowing why Ye Bai suddenly came back from silence and why he suddenly asked this sentence, but he still nodded.
Ye Bai continued.
"You tell me this just to make me attached to your Qitian Pavilion, accept your gifts, and tempt me to join you with the possibility of achieving the position of Xuanzun in the future, right?"
The black-clothed man clapped his palms and wanted to get up to refute, but in the end, he found that they were indeed for this purpose, Ye Bai said, there was no deviation, so he couldn't help but calm down again, sat back in his place, nodded expressionlessly, and replied, "Yes." Looking at Ye Bai's gaze, it began to become a little strange.
Ye Bai didn't stop and continued.
"You've asked me so much......" he smiled as he glanced at the black-clad leader, "and then, can I ask you the same questions?"
The black-clothed leader didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Ye Bai's gourd, but in the end he hesitated, but he agreed, and nodded: "You ask-"
Ye Bai said: "I believe that the Lord in charge knows that when we come out, we must all have the support of our own sect behind us, and since we have a sect, how can we join Qitian Pavilion?"
When the black-clothed leader heard this, his vigilant heart suddenly relaxed, and he smiled: "This is simple, the sect is a sect, that is just a background, and there is no conflict with joining Qitian Pavilion, because our Qitian Pavilion is not a sect, but an organization, a force." ā
Ye Bai nodded, indicating that he understood.
It is not uncommon for people from different backgrounds to come together and form the same force on the entire continent.
He continued to ask, "So...... Dare to ask the principal, ...... Did you also participate in the Qitian Pavilion trial and join the Qitian Pavilion from outside?"
The black-clothed man was stunned for a moment and said, "That's good." But he came back to his senses in an instant, and asked Ye Baidao: "Why are you asking this?"
Ye Bai smiled: "I can see it." ā
He didn't wait for the black-clothed ruler to ask again, but instead said, "There are so many Xuan Kings in Qitian Pavilion...... It can't be all self-sustaining...... The previous Qitian trials have gone through thousands of years, every ten years, a hundred years is ten, and a thousand years is a hundred...... The foreign Xuanwang-level powerhouses collected by Qitian Pavilion are only afraid that they are not a small number. ā
He smiled and continued, "The true Xuan King cultivated by Qitian Pavilion itself is naturally the core...... If you don't take a small position and come here to greet guests, then Your Excellency must be a foreign king. ā
Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "So, I guess that Your Excellency must have participated in a certain Qitian trial in the past, and finally chose to join Qitian Pavilion. ā
Hearing this, the black-clothed leader fell silent for a while before nodding and saying, "Yes, sixty years ago, I also participated in that year's Qitian Trial, and finally became one of the winners, and obtained one of the Xuan King Supreme Pills and was promoted to Xuan King." ā
Ye Bai smiled.
"Then dare to ask the ruler, what is the state now?"
When the black-clothed leader heard this, his face was silent, and he stared at Ye Bai for a long time, and Ye Bai looked at him without fear.
After a long time, the black-clothed ruler retracted his gaze and said slowly: "Median Xuan King." ā
Ye Bai nodded and said, "That's it, sixty years, joining Qitian Pavilion, is only a middle Xuan King, so ...... How dare you say that without the support of Qitian Pavilion, we, outsiders, will not become the top or even the top Xuan King after we go out?"
He didn't wait for the black-clothed man to refute, but continued to smile: "So, if you join Qitian Pavilion, you can get some resources at most, but there are so many Xuan Kings of Qitian Pavilion, and the core must naturally be their own people, how much can we, the foreign Xuan King, get?"
Therefore, joining or not joining, except that it is more secluded and comfortable than being outside, there is actually no difference. ā
The black-clothed man stared at Ye Bai for a long time before he said, "So, Your Excellency is planning to refuse to join." ā
Ye Bai shook his head and said, "No, I haven't said that for the time being, I want to ask the adult one last question." ā
The black-clothed man waited for a long time before he said, "Excuse me!"
Ye Bai said: "I want to know...... If I say no...... So, this Xuandan Order in your hand, can't you exchange it for that Xuanwang Supreme Pill?"
As soon as Ye Bai said this, the atmosphere in the air immediately condensed, and the room that was originally happy immediately became as cold as the Nine Heavens Ice Cellar.
The black-clothed leader slowly stood up, looked at Ye Bai, and said in a deep voice, "Why do you ask that?"
Ye Bai didn't run away, nor did he answer, he said, "I'm waiting for the adult's answer!"
The atmosphere between the two of them, for a while, became very subtle, looking at each other, and did not move for a long time.
After a long time, the black-clothed leader slowly took a breath and said, "No, you can." Our request, just an invitation!"
When Ye Bai heard this, he was relieved and said, "Is it just an invitation?" Then, he looked at the black-clothed man in charge, and said word by word: "Okay, my answer is, I refuse!"
I rejected these three words, Ye Bai said it absolutely ironcladly, and there was no room for turning around.
The black-clothed man was shocked and stunned for a long time.
After a long time, he suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a few laughs, looked at Ye Bai, nodded and said, "The future is terrifying, and the courage is commendable." ā
After that...... As soon as he pushed his hand, he pushed the agarwood box in the palm of his hand in front of Ye Bai, stared at his eyes, and after a while, he said: "This is your Xuanwang Supreme Dan reward, please take it." ā
Ye Bai took it, didn't open it to take a closer look, put it directly in his sleeve, treasured it and hid it, and then said, "Thank you." ā
The black-clothed man took charge and said, "Okay, the handover is over, next, I don't represent Qitian Pavilion, only me, I want to ask you two questions, okay?"
Ye Bai said with a smile: "A Lord Xuanwang asked me to ask questions, I am very honored here, please speak!"
The black-clothed man looked at Ye Bai and looked deeply for a long time before he suddenly said, "If I said just now, yes, if you refuse to join Qitian Pavilion, you won't get this Xuanwang Supreme Pill, your answer will be, refuse?"
After speaking, his eyes were staring at Ye Bai tightly, for a moment, obviously, this answer had been doubting in his heart for a long time.
Hearing this, Ye Bai was slightly silent for a moment, and then he looked at the black-clothed man without fear and said, "Yes!"
The black-clothed ruler seemed to be relieved when he heard this, but there were also greater doubts in his heart, and he asked, "Why?"
Ye Bai was silent for a long time, and then slowly replied: "Dare to ask Lord Xuanwang, we have been cultivating hard and constantly seeking progress, what is the ultimate goal?"
The black-clothed leader said without hesitation, "Freedom." ā
When Ye Bai heard this, he smiled and said, "Yes, it is freedom." ā
"When we have the strength, we have more freedom...... No longer limited by others...... Why, then, do we give up our freedom for the sake of greater power...... What about putting the cart before the horse?"
"In that case, even if we have the strongest force, our hearts have been limited, what can we do?"
He looked at the black-clothed man in charge, and said slowly: "The tiger can only grow by roaring in the mountains and forests and experiencing the hunt between life and death, and that kind of hunting is the freedom it wants." ā
"If one day, this tiger is offered up, and it is served with good food and drink...... You don't have to hunt yourself, it's comfortable...... However, over time, it will lose its edge, how can it go further, reach a higher realm, and become the king of tigers?"
Speaking of this, he smiled faintly: "This is as solid as an adult, it must have been a fierce tiger, but ...... Since joining Qitian Pavilion, the cultivation of adults has not advanced but retreated, and more than sixty years have passed, and he is still only a median Xuan King. ā
"If it's outside, I'm afraid that I've already reached the top position, or even the peak!"
The black-clothed man in charge, hearing this, suddenly glanced at Ye Bai deeply, and then was silent.
