Chapter 337 Interrogation
Upon hearing this, the young man's face turned pale with shock, and he was no longer the wise man he once was.
On the other side, Feng Yu and Lin Yun were completely bewildered, having no idea what Bai Ke was talking about.
They also realized that the young man was not a living person, and through his own account, they learned that he was a remnant soul.
But what does this mean?
Is Bai Ke being so aggressive just because of the additional conditions this young man proposed for reviving Tian Xin?
They knew Bai Ke's character perfectly well; he would never offend that seemingly unfathomable young man for something so trivial.
They understood that Bai Ke must have sensed something, hence his attitude. What was he trying to pry out of the young man?
Lin Yun and Feng Yu had no idea what was going on; they could only watch quietly as the situation developed further.
"What?" Bai Ke raised an eyebrow and asked with a look of disdain.
The young man snapped out of his daze, flew into a rage, and unleashed a powerful aura surpassing even that of a Mahayana cultivator, roaring viciously:
"You, a mere low-level cultivator, dare to threaten me? Do you have a death wish?"
Both Feng Yu and Lin Yun, whose injuries had not yet healed, were startled, and the circulation of their spiritual energy was halted by the terrifying pressure.
But Bai Ke didn't react at all. He took a step forward, approaching the young man, his expression ferocious, and laughed wildly, "I want to die, so let me die! Come on!"
The young man's momentum was completely crushed by Bai Ke's reckless actions. He couldn't help but retreat, his expression filled with fear. His hand trembled as he pointed at Bai Ke, his lips quivering, but he couldn't utter a word.
"Hahaha, keep pretending, let me see just how good you really are!" Bai Ke mocked.
He then gathered his spiritual power in his hand, which was mixed with the residual blood energy from the blood sacrifice to the heavens. He then stepped forward, grabbed the young man by the neck, and lifted him up.
This time, the young man's body did not turn into a phantom; Bai Ke's hand firmly locked the young man's neck, and the touch of blood and flesh felt exceptionally real.
The young man's eyes widened as he frantically tried to pry open Bai Ke's hands.
At this moment, his feet were off the ground, and he kicked and struggled weakly. The wisps of blood emanating from Bai Ke's hands were actually burning the young man.
The young man was clearly also in pain. Under the corrosive effects of the blood, he also felt intense pain, followed by extreme fear!
"Tsk tsk, how pathetic. A high-level cultivator, a once-powerful figure, how could he be subdued by a nobody like me?" Bai Ke sneered.
"What do you want to do!" the young man roared in anguish.
"What I want to do? That depends on your performance. If you have a better attitude, we can sit down and have a good talk. Maybe this matter can be resolved gracefully."
"Okay, okay! Put me down, put me down, and I'll talk to you properly!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ke chuckled and released his grip.
The young man immediately fell to the ground, coughing violently, his eyes filled with lingering fear.
He had witnessed it with his own eyes; the guard on the ninth floor was tortured for five hours by this kid using that strange blood energy!
In the end, his soul was completely annihilated, with no hope of reincarnation!
As he pondered, he touched his neck, where patches of black, rotting flesh had been corroded by the blood. He recalled the old man's agonizing screams and couldn't help but shudder again.
Feng Yu and Lin Yun were both stunned.
Is this still the same young man who made such a flamboyant entrance?!
Is this still the same young man who exuded the powerful aura of a celestial cultivator?!
Why was he so utterly vulnerable in front of Bai Ke?!
They couldn't help but glance at Bai Ke, whose face was calm and composed, his eyes brimming with confidence, as if he had victory firmly in his grasp.
"Are you done yet? If you are, let's talk." Bai Ke stared at the young man expressionlessly.
"What do you want to know?" the young man replied.
"Hmm..." Bai Ke stroked his chin, feigning thought. After a moment's hesitation, he snapped his fingers, a grin on his face, but his eyes were icy cold. He spoke in a sinister tone:
"Let's start with your background! I'll ask questions, and you answer. If I sense you're lying, you'll bear the consequences yourself, understand?"
"Ming...understand."
"very good."
Bai Ke nodded, looking at the young man with satisfaction.
The young man didn't dare to look Bai Ke in the eye. His voice trembled as he answered, and he no longer had the superior tone he had before. He was clearly afraid of Bai Ke.
Bai Ke didn't care about any of that. Instead, he squatted down, stared at the young man, and asked the first question with great interest:
"who are you?"
"My name is Qian San. In my previous life, I was trapped in the Immortal Imprisonment Tower by the Immortal Miaoyu. Later, I was refined into the spirit of the Immortal Imprisonment Tower by him. In the once-in-a-century selection of the Emperor Miaoyu, I served as a supervisor."
What level of spiritual attainment did you reach in your previous life?
"Sixth-tier Loose Immortal".
"You said before that you could resurrect this woman, was that true or false?"
“Strictly speaking, this is true. However… this will consume a large amount of immortal energy stored in the Immortal Imprisonment Tower, probably about two-thirds of it.”
At this point, Bai Ke's brows furrowed in deep thought.
Qian San... Immortal Miaoyu, the Miaoyu Emperor Selection... Supervisor, and that sixth-order loose immortal... These novel terms aroused Bai Ke's strong interest.
Immortal Miaoyu should be the founder of Miaoyu Valley, and also the true master of this Immortal Imprisonment Tower.
The young man was refined into a spirit by the immortal Miaoyu, and he also served as a supervisor... Therefore, in order to prevent Qian San from causing trouble, his abilities within the Imprisoning Immortal Tower would definitely be restricted.
Judging from Qian San's behavior, it is definitely related to his rules in the Prison Tower!
The sixth-tier Loose Immortal should be a realm beyond the Mahayana stage. However, I learned from Nan Wenyang that there was no Immortal Realm in the ancient cultivation world. So how did they manage to ascend to the ranks of immortals...?
As for the selection of the Jade Emperor that Qian San mentioned, it probably refers to this trial. The selection of the Jade Emperor is probably similar to the selection of the Holy Son of the Tian Ce Palace...
However, if this grand election is supposed to select a Jade Emperor, then why is there a team trial within the Immortal Imprisonment Tower? This is something Bai Ke couldn't understand, so he continued to ask:
"How many of the Immortal Imprisonment Tower's functions can you control?"
"I can only exert a very small part of my power. Immortal Miaoyu has set up many rules, and I have to act according to the rules most of the time, otherwise my soul will be completely annihilated."
"Is this trial the same as the selection of the Heavenly Emperor Miaoyu?"
"Yes, I have waited for tens of thousands of years, and finally you have arrived. So I took advantage of the loopholes in the rules of the Immortal Imprisonment Tower to start the trial ahead of schedule..."
