After the elder spoke these words.
The fake Chu Tian’s eyes showed a glimmer of hope.
As for Chu Tian’s true form, his gaze flickered before disappearing.
Maintaining that expression of utter indifference.
The fake Chu Tian then looked towards him.
“By the way, do you know the 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones'?”
This fellow looked at Chu Tian, his eyes shining with anticipation, yet his tone remained arrogant.
Chu Tian turned away, not even bothering to look at him.
However, he was very curious about the elder.
It seemed the elder knew that he had obtained a fragmented secret manual of 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones'.
This was something he had found on Deng Xian Island.
It was something that Zheng Enlai had cultivated.
Chu Tian hadn't paid much attention to it; it was still stored in his spiritual consciousness as a damaged manual.
However, after hearing what the elder said,
He began to browse it in his soul space.
“Hey, you, I’m talking to you!”
Seeing that Chu Tian didn’t respond, the fellow
Stepped forward a few paces, closing in on Chu Tian.
A look of displeasure was still on his face.
“Scram…”
However, Chu Tian’s response was a soft utterance of this single word.
His voice was soft,
But his palm strike was full force.
*Slap…*
A resounding slap landed on the fellow’s face.
The latter spun in mid-air,
Only stopping after crashing hard against the wall.
*Whoosh…*
After landing, the fellow shot up instantly.
However, he no longer dared to approach Chu Tian.
Pointing at him with a face full of anger,
“Why are you hitting people again?”
“Hit you? Hitting you is light punishment, you disrespectful fellow who doesn’t know age or seniority!
If you dare to jump around in front of me again, believe it or not, I’ll obliterate you with a flick of my finger?”
Chu Tian said this casually.
But it sounded extremely jarring to the fellow.
“Obliterate me? I admit I can’t beat you, but don’t you dream about it!
Let me tell you, when you were still in your mother’s womb, before you had consciousness, I had already been conceived.
If you dare to touch me again, then you are the one who doesn’t know age or seniority.
Because I am your elder brother!”
The fellow’s words were filled with disdain towards Chu Tian.
He even resorted to arguing seniority in the end.
Chu Tian was almost amused to the point of anger.
“Is he genuinely foolish, or just pretending? Or did my beating turn him into an idiot?”
Chu Tian directed this question not to the fellow, but towards the elder, his gaze filled with inquiry.
The elder responded by shrugging his shoulders, a smile of bewilderment on his face.
His expression seemed to say, Who knows?
“You’re the idiot, I am the Nine-Layered Qiankun Pagoda, one of the Ten Great Spiritual Roots of the Myriad Realms!”
*Boom…*
However, the fake Chu Tian, who was unable to grasp reality, became more and more enraged as he spoke.
And upon hearing his true form call him an idiot,
He roared even louder.
But as soon as he finished speaking,
The entire space began to tremble.
Chu Tian’s hair flew wildly,
And the clothes on his body rustled.
“Who are you calling ‘I’ here? What nonsense, Nine-Layered Qiankun Pagoda, you’re just a spiritual body.”
“Why are you getting so aggressive? What’s wrong with being a spiritual body? Weren’t you going to obliterate me? Come on, come on!
You’re just a bit stronger, it’s useless!”
Seeing Chu Tian’s aura surge, the fellow
Not only did he not feel scared, but he even pointed a finger at Chu Tian.
He himself acted as if, even if you hit me, it would only hurt a little.
But his words didn’t back down.
This temper truly bore a slight resemblance to Chu Tian’s true form.
“I can’t deal with you? Let me show you how to obliterate you!”
*Hum…*
Chu Tian’s brow flashed.
A white halo surged wildly.
“Soul Stab…”
Chu Tian roared.
The milky white, seemingly substantial soul power,
Instantly condensed into ten million sharp points, like steel needles.
“No…”
The fellow opposite him was filled with panic at this moment.
“Impossible!”
Just as he couldn’t believe it,
Those steel needles, like a flurry of snowflakes,
Flew towards him mercilessly.
Then came the fellow’s frantic cries.
His body’s surging aura unleashed wave after wave of defense.
However, it could only offer slight resistance.
As soon as the rain-like needles touched his skin, they disappeared directly.
The pain made the fellow’s face contort.
Chu Tian, however, did not stop.
The elder standing beside him watched this scene with a smile, making no move to intervene.
Soul Stab was the weakest of Chu Tian’s soul skills.
Moreover, he had controlled the intensity.
Although this boundless, torrential Soul Stab appeared,
Seeming immensely powerful and terrifying,
In reality, it would cause almost no damage to a Saint Spirit with a physical body.
But the current fellow,
Was formed from a spiritual body.
Without any physical defense.
What he felt,
Was like being stung by endless wasps.
The fellow initially resisted a couple of times, but then completely gave up resisting and started scrambling for cover, holding his head.
However, in this small space, soul needles formed by Chu Tian’s divine soul
Almost filled it completely.
It was better for him not to run.
The moment he ran, many soul needles that were queuing behind him, waiting to pierce him, collided with him head-on.
This caused him immense pain.
“Ah… Oww…”
He instantly rolled his eyes.
Chu Tian was startled by his sudden dash.
He had originally minimized the force of the Soul Stab,
Making each needle as fine as a steel needle.
The intention was to torment him.
The impact he just experienced himself,
With the boundless Soul Stab pouring into his body,
This single blow was no less than a normal soul attack from Chu Tian.
Chu Tian quickly thinned out the number of soul needles, leaving only a trailing thread to pierce him.
Then he no longer bothered with the fellow.
While controlling the output of his soul power,
He turned to look at the elder again.
“Sir, is it okay for me to teach him a lesson like this?”
“Hahaha… I wouldn’t dare to say, but when he was sent here, he already had intelligence. He’s spent more than a decade in this dark and sunless place, so he’s become a bit narrow-minded!”
After the elder finished speaking, he said no more.
Chu Tian carefully examined him up and down.
The elder’s words were ambiguous.
He explained that the young fellow was a bit pitiable for staying in this dull place for over a decade.
He also stated that his actions were indeed a bit presumptuous.
He was both excusing the young fellow and not offending Chu Tian.
He was truly an astute old man.
Before they arrived, Xiao Hei had said he sensed a similar origin of energy.
Therefore, the elder before him should be a transformed Qilin.
But observing the elder, there was no trace of the same aura as Xiao Hei.
Instead, he resembled a human even more.
The entire space fell silent.
Chu Tian stared at the elder, examining him from head to toe.
The elder, whether he couldn't maintain his composure or for some other reason,
Nodded slightly towards Chu Tian.
Then, he retreated towards the depths of the cave.
He left behind a sentence.
“Call me when you wish to leave!”
With that, he disappeared into the depths of the cave.
Chu Tian curled his lips, separating a thread of his consciousness to control the Soul Stab.
To educate the fellow.
He then came to Xiao Hei’s side and sat down cross-legged.
All his focus was immersed in the fragmented manual of ‘One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones’.
