Meng Po was also startled.
If what Lu Henge said is true, then the three of them probably wouldn't have been able to get out of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave so easily.
Upon hearing this...
Lu Henge said softly, "Because it can't get out of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave. It's trapped inside."
"It needs someone from the outside to help it break free from the shackles of the Serpent Cave, and coincidentally, we've arrived, so we've become the seemingly perfect candidate."
Lu Henge could actually sense it.
The guardian spirit's attitude towards the three of them wasn't very good; it was a restrained dislike. Although the guardian spirit hid it well, it still underestimated Lu Henge's observational abilities.
Or perhaps...
Guardian spirits have had too little contact with humans.
It is unlikely to perfectly hide its emotions and thoughts from humans.
This is understandable.
after all.
The Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes is mostly inhabited by snakes, not people.
Meng Po pondered for a moment, then realized something else: "We've already come out of the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes, but it can't come out. Why don't we just forget what we promised and pretend nothing happened?!"
When it comes to promises, frankly speaking, it all comes down to character.
People of good character value their promises, but for people of average character, or those who have no character at all, a promise is worth less than a blade of grass on the ground.
actually.
Lu Henge was also pondering this question.
But he was also very worried.
If this guardian spirit is truly the spirit of the Book of the World, and not the guardian spirit of the Cave of Ten Thousand Serpents, then it must possess some extraordinary abilities, and might even be able to threaten the lives of Lu Henge and the others from a distance.
This is entirely possible.
Lu Henge should not underestimate the Book of the World, nor should he underestimate the Book Spirit of the Book of the World.
In a sense.
The Book of the World has the same lifespan as the world itself.
In other words...
The Book of the World appeared the moment this world came into existence.
The world before us is incredibly vast, including the mysterious and unpredictable ancient realm, the immortal realm that countless cultivators yearn for, and countless smaller worlds.
Even today.
Lu Henge had no idea how big the world before him really was.
To put it bluntly.
The ancient realm, the immortal realm, and countless smaller worlds are all part of this vast world.
As the Book of the World, which governs this vast world, it is not an exaggeration to possess any heaven-defying methods. Killing someone remotely should not be a difficult task for the Book of the World's spirit.
This is what worries Lu Henge the most.
The three of them may have left the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes, but in reality, they may still be under the control of that guardian spirit.
"I'm afraid that won't work."
Lu Hengge shook his head.
At that very moment.
Di Xin picked up where Lu Henge left off: "This kid is worried that the guardian spirit has used some tricks on us, so even if we leave the Ten Thousand Serpent Cave, it can still capture us and bring us back, or even kill us on the spot."
Lu Henge nodded.
Di Xin's expression became extremely solemn. Once this thought arose, an immense sense of panic would surge within him. It was a fear of the unknown and a sense of helplessness at being unable to control his own life and death.
Meng Po's expression was equally grave and unpleasant: "But I don't feel anything wrong with my body."
The same applies to Di Xin and Lu Henge.
Di Xin sighed: "That's the most terrifying part. To be able to do something without the three of us noticing, what does that mean? With our combined strength, who could possibly do that?"
These words were spoken.
Meng Po remained silent.
yes!
The three of them were all comparable to the half-step Ancestral Realm, and they didn't even notice it. How heaven-defying must the Guardian Spirit's methods be?
I can't even imagine it!
Lu Henge remained silent.
only.
Lu Henge was thinking about some things, not worrying about his own safety.
A moment later, Meng Po took a deep drag on her pipe, looking quite helpless: "Boy, what are you thinking about?"
Lu Henge came to his senses: "I'm thinking about two things. The first is that we weren't the first to enter the Ten Thousand Serpent Cave, so why didn't the Guardian Spirit choose the Nine-Headed Venerable, but instead chose us?"
"It's very simple. It was tricked once by the descendants of Nuwa, and it has developed a fear of snake-like creatures. Naturally, it wouldn't choose to trust the Nine-Headed Venerable, so it chose us instead." Meng Po's explanation was quite reasonable.
But Lu Henge still shook his head decisively: "Let the Nine-Headed Venerable cause trouble for the descendants of Nuwa, and let the snake creatures kill each other. This is more in line with the idea of harboring resentment."
"The Nine-Headed Venerable is not weak; he is even an ancestor. If the guardian spirit is willing, it can even make the Nine-Headed Venerable quickly recover his ancestral strength in a short time and then drive him to take revenge on the descendants of Nuwa. To put it bluntly, the Nine-Headed Venerable is a much greater threat to the descendants of Nuwa than the three of us."
Meng Po and Di Xin exchanged a glance, feeling that this was too brain-teasing.
Lu Henge didn't dwell on that matter, but instead brought up the next thing: "Before we came to the Ten Thousand Serpent Cave, it contained half of the Book of Creation Prophecy, but it was taken away by the descendants of Nuwa."
Why didn't the guardian spirit stop Nuwa's descendants from taking half of the Book of Creation Prophecy, but instead chose to ignore it?
The one who plotted to frame the guardian spirit was Xiaoman's ancestor, a descendant of another branch of Nuwa. But as time goes by, the hatred in the guardian spirit's heart will slowly spread to all of Nuwa's descendants.
Hatred will spread and swell.
It started with hating a single, specific person, and then it evolved into hating a group of people.
This is perfectly normal.
For example, Lu Henge.
Lu Henge was very familiar with this.
Back when he was in the Three Thousand Dao Sect, he initially only hated his master, Lu Sheng. Gradually, he began to hate everyone in the Three Thousand Dao Sect, and eventually, he came to hate all humans in the Western Realm.
When hatred is not released in time, it will gradually distort one's mind.
Logically speaking...
Guardian spirits should do the same.
But when the descendants of Nuwa took half of the Book of Creation Prophecy, she did not deliberately stop them, which is very strange.
Meng Po countered, "What if she tried to stop her, but failed?"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Even Meng Po herself laughed.
I laughed at my own stupid words.
The strongest among the descendants of Nuwa is only at the half-step Ancestral Realm. If even the descendants of Nuwa cannot stop them, then the Guardian Spirit has no right to secretly place some methods on the three of them.
Their first worry turned out to be nothing but needless anxiety.
so.
If the first assumption is true, then when Nuwa's descendants took half of the Book of Creation Prophecy, they encountered no obstacles whatsoever; in fact, the process was quite smooth.
Lu Henge wasn't too worried: "I'm getting more and more curious about how much Nuwa did back then. It's a pity I was born too late and didn't live in that ancient era."
