Chapter 174 The Price of Inquiry
Ning Ruoxi and Mo Chen and Mo Tian met at the exit of Giant Beast Swamp. Mo Chen asked Ning Ruoxi, "Miss Ning, what happened?"
"Jiang Xi has been killed by me!" Ning Ruoxi explained simply.
"I have also seized the materials for the monsters that can open the Demon Gate. The demons should not be able to open the Demon Gate."
"That's good."
Mo Chen calmed himself down. If the Demon Gate was opened, the world of immortal cultivation would probably fall.
The three of them left the Giant Beast Lake and stayed temporarily in Dongfeng City. Mo Chen asked Ning Ruoxi, "Miss Ning, can you let me see the Heavenly Secret Pearl?"
"Okay!" Ning Ruoxi took out the Tianji Pearl and handed it to Mo Chen. Neither she nor Lin Shuang could see the mystery of the Tianji Pearl. Mo Chen was good at divination and might be able to deduce some information about the Tianji Pearl.
Mo Chen took the Tianji Pearl in his hand. He looked at it carefully and found that the Tianji Pearl was just like an ordinary bead, nothing special about it.
Ning Ruoxi added: "Senior Mo Chen, using the Heavenly Secret Pearl will deplete a person's luck."
"Luck..." Mo Chen nodded and said to the Tianji Pearl: "Where is Bai Hun now?"
The Tianji Pearl did not react at all and remained quietly in Mo Chen's hand.
"Why is there no response?" Ning Ruoxi and Lin Shuang were a little confused. Ning Ruoxi was fine when she used the Tianji Pearl before.
Could it be that after merging with Jiang Xi's Tianji Pearl, something went wrong with Ning Ruoxi's Tianji Pearl?
"Miss Ning, you come and try it!" Mo Chen returned the Tianji Pearl to Ning Ruoxi.
Ning Ruoxi also asked Tianjizhu about Bai Hun's whereabouts.
This time, the Tianji Pearl responded, and a few small golden words appeared on it.
"Bai Hun is in the Tianxuan Secret Realm."
"Tianxuan Secret Realm? Is the Tianxuan Secret Realm in the Tianxuan Mountains?" Ning Ruoxi continued to ask.
"Yes." Seeing Tianjizhu's answer, Ning Ruoxi was sure that Bai Hun was not dead yet.
Mo Chen exclaimed: "I can't use the Heavenly Secret Pearl. Could it be that my luck has not reached the threshold to use it?"
"Maybe...?" The three couldn't figure it out.
The Tianji Pearl is so mysterious that it is a little weird.
"Miss Ning, please ask the Heavenly Secret Pearl whether we, together with Mo Tian, can bring Bai Hun out of the Tianxuan Secret Realm."
"Okay." Ning Ruoxi repeated Mo Chen's question to the Tianji Pearl.
Tianjizhu’s answer is, “No.”
Ning Ruoxi changed the question and asked what chances the three of them had of winning against Su Jianbai (the old man in the secret realm).
"Twenty percent."
"Is that person so powerful?" Mo Chen frowned. He had planned to rescue Bai Hun, so that the camp of immortal cultivation would have one more powerful person who could use the realm of Tao.
By then, entering the Abyss of the Undead will give us a much better chance of dealing with the demons.
"Very strong. Anyway, Senior Bai Hun and the other four peak tribulation masters have not walked out of that secret realm..."
The most threatening thing right now is not Su Jianbai, but the Abyss of the Undead. Su Jianbai is still staying in the secret realm, and he doesn't seem to want to rule the world of immortal cultivation or anything like that.
But it’s different for demons. If the world of immortal cultivation were to be occupied by the undead, it would be almost like destruction.
Ning Ruoxi asked the Heavenly Secret Pearl again just in case: "Will the devil open the magic door again?"
The small golden characters kept flashing, and finally merged into one word, "yes"!
meeting! The devil will also open the magic door!
Ning Ruoxi looked at Jiang Xi's storage ring. The materials of the monster corpses needed to open the Demon Gate were all here. How did the devil open the Demon Gate?
"How will the devil open the magic door?" After asking this question, Ning Ruoxi felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and she lost consciousness and fell to the side.
Fortunately, Mo Chen was quick-witted and used his spiritual power to hold Ning Ruoxi's body.
"Miss Ning! Miss Ning! Are you okay?" Mo Chen shouted from the side.
Ning Ruoxi could still hear Lin Shuang calling out in her mind, "Disciple! Disciple..."
…….
When Ning Ruoxi woke up, seven days had passed.
Mo Chen was guarding Ning Ruoxi's bed. He was relieved to see Ning Ruoxi wake up. "Miss Ning, how do you feel?"
Ning Ruoxi shook her head. She felt nothing at all. The memory in her mind was frozen at the moment before she fell into a coma.
"I checked your body too. You are not injured. You just fainted suddenly. It looks more like you fell asleep. However, no matter how the Emperor and I called you, you did not wake up. I guess... everything is related to the Heavenly Secret Pearl."
"I don't know whether I was asleep or fainted." Ning Ruoxi replied.
Mo Chen continued, "Miss Ning, when you fainted for the last time, words appeared on the Tianji Pearl."
"It said that the devil would use the undead to open the Demon Gate. During the seven days you fainted, Motian was also outside gathering information."
"All the undead that had originally fled to the four regions of Zhongzhou have returned to the direction of the Undead Abyss."
"Use the undead to open the Demon Gate?" Ning Ruoxi thought this was stupid. She discovered that the Tianji Pearl had a drawback.
That is, when answering questions, they don’t explain very clearly, and if they are not clear, you must continue to ask.
It's kind of like asking you questions all the time.
Ning Ruoxi narrowed her eyes slightly. Luck, the Tianji Pearl is intelligent, and it wants her own luck.
The way for the Tianji Pearl to obtain luck is for the user to ask questions, and then it can draw luck.
"Disciple, don't use the Heavenly Secret Pearl casually in the future. There was no sign of your coma this time. Just as Mo Chen said, it must be related to the Heavenly Secret Pearl." Lin Shuang also reminded Ning Ruoxi.
Ning Ruoxi replied softly, "Yeah."
"To open the Demon Gate, you need the undead. The devil could have used the undead to open the Demon Gate from the beginning. He didn't need to let Jiang Xi collect materials from the corpses of monsters. This shows that using the undead to open the Demon Gate is very costly... He doesn't want to use this method unless it's absolutely necessary."
Mo Chen continued to use the method of divine calculation to deduce, but it was not so easy to deduce. There were too many things involved, and forcing the deduction would have a significant backlash on him.
"If he uses the undead to open the magic gate, we will have to go to the Undead Abyss to stop him from opening the magic gate!"
"There is too little useful information, and we don't know whether it is true or false..."
Ning Ruoxi said after hearing this: "Why don't I use the Heavenly Secret Pearl to get information?"
Mo Chen pursed his lips and said, "The Heavenly Secret Pearl is also a strange thing. It cannot be used frequently."
“If we really want to ask it, we’d better ask a question that maximizes value.”
Obviously, Mo Chen also knew that there was a problem with the Tianji Pearl, but the current situation required the Tianji Pearl's guidance.
The Tianji Pearl is like a devil. You know it is scary, but you can't resist its temptation.
Lin Xuechu is a good example. He used to be the grand elder of Qinglong Academy. After using the Tianji Pearl, he became dependent on its power.
