"Young man, what are you doing here?" the Qilin clan chief asked.
It is a spirit, formless and shapeless, with only a general shape and no specific facial features, so much so that its voice seems to come from all directions.
"I'm fine, I just came here for a stroll," Bai Hao said casually.
Qilin Clan Chief: "..."
I can't figure it out for him.
"Alright, I'm here to look for clues about the Heavenly Ladder. Do you have any clues about the Heavenly Ladder?" Bai Hao asked honestly.
Qilin Clan Chief: "..."
"Then do you know how to become unspeakable?" Seeing that it didn't speak, Bai Hao asked again.
Qilin Clan Chief: "..."
"Fine, it seems you don't know anything. I'll just leave then." Bai Hao looked disappointed.
Qilin Clan Chief: "..."
"Can't you ask some more practical questions? Like, is this the sacred ground of the Qilin clan? Or are there any treasures left here? Who comes in and asks these kinds of questions right away?!" The Qilin clan chief couldn't take it anymore and roared in a low voice.
He couldn't stand it anymore. Was the question Bai Hao asked something a normal person could ask?
People keep bringing up things like "heavenly ladder" and "the unspeakable," are these questions a normal person should be asking?
"Is this the sacred ground of the Qilin clan? Are there any treasures left behind by the Qilin clan here?" Bai Hao asked again.
Qilin Clan Chief: "..."
"Are you fucking here to cause trouble?!"
It couldn't take it anymore.
This person is definitely here to cause trouble!
What terrible things did it do to deserve this torment even in death? Can't someone please take care of it?
Sensing the obvious change in the Qilin patriarch's emotions, Bai Hao knew that his words had indeed caused it some distress, so he stopped teasing it and asked seriously:
"Let me ask you a serious question: since you are the patriarch of the Qilin clan, why didn't the Sun God completely annihilate you when he led the Yang Cavalry to conquer your Qilin clan?"
"That's because I'm immortal." Hearing Bai Hao's earnest explanation, the Qilin clan chief also answered seriously.
"Although that brat Liuli's strength has indeed increased significantly after obtaining the power of the Primordial Flame, it doesn't mean he's all-powerful. He may be the Unspeakable, but I am also half a step into the Unspeakable, immortal and indestructible. Even if that Sun God can destroy my physical body, he can't destroy my soul," the Qilin Clan Chief said with a snort, his tone tinged with arrogance.
"Half-step into the unspeakable, immortal and indestructible... Do you know the Heavenly Fire Venerable of the Divine Phoenix Clan?" Bai Hao murmured, looking up to ask.
"Heavenly Fire?" Upon hearing this name, the Qilin patriarch's voice noticeably rose a notch, and he said:
How did you know that guy?
“The Heavenly Fire Venerable is not dead yet; he is still imprisoned in the forbidden area of the Divine Phoenix Clan,” Bai Hao said.
"What did you say? Tianhuo is still alive?!"
Upon hearing Bai Hao's words, the Qilin patriarch became so excited that his voice turned shrill.
"You're saying Tianhuo isn't dead? How is that possible? Didn't he die more than two thousand years ago?!"
“Tianhuo is indeed not dead yet; I saw him not long ago,” Bai Hao said calmly.
Judging from the tone of the Qilin clan chief, he and Tianhuo should know each other, and their relationship should be quite good.
However, both sides are currently struggling to survive, each trapped in their own forbidden zones and unable to escape, so they naturally have no idea about the other's situation.
"Are you sure Tianhuo is still alive?" the Qilin clan chief asked again.
"Mm." Bai Hao nodded.
The Qilin clan chief suddenly let out a long sigh of relief, saying, "I thought that old fellow was dead, but I didn't expect him to still be alive. Sure enough, that old fellow is tough as nails, immortal and indestructible..."
"Are you and Tianhuo on good terms?" Bai Hao asked.
"Of course it's great. Back then, I and he stepped into this half-step into the unspeakable realm together, but I never expected that brat Liuli would surpass us and suppress us all by himself."
At this point, the Qilin clan chief was filled with resentment: "Tell me, why was it that guy able to surpass us so easily? We toiled for thousands of years to finally reach the half-step into the Unspeakable, and that guy only obtained the Solar Thunder from the Primordial Flame and yet he reached the Unspeakable! Why?!"
It was not convinced, very much so!
"Regardless of the circumstances, you three divine beasts have indeed lost," Bai Hao said calmly.
"Hmph, it's only temporary. Nobody can predict what will happen in the future," the Qilin patriarch sneered, then suddenly changed the subject.
"By the way, didn't you just ask me how to become unspeakable?"
Bai Hao raised an eyebrow. It turned out that this guy wasn't completely oblivious to everything; he did know some things.
"Yes, I did ask just now. So, are you willing to tell me?"
Upon hearing this, the Qilin patriarch snorted coldly and said, "You're dreaming. You're human, and it was humans who turned our three great divine beast races into what they are now. Do you think I would tell you the unspeakable method?"
Bai Hao shrugged and said, "I didn't expect someone as incapable as you to tell me how to become the Unspeakable, after all, you yourself haven't become the Unspeakable."
"Hmph, don't try to provoke me. Even though I haven't reached the Unspeakable level yet, I'm not far from it. It's much easier for me than for someone like you, a Supreme Realm cultivator, to become Unspeakable!" the Qilin Clan Chief said with a snort.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I've already learned how to become the Unspeakable from Venerable Heavenly Fire. As for you, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not, I don't care. That's all, goodbye." With a wave of his hand, Bai Hao turned and left without hesitation.
Seeing him like this, the Qilin clan chief panicked and quickly flew down from the blood jade platform to block Bai Hao's path, saying:
"You just said that old guy Tianhuo has already told you the method to become the Unspeakable?"
"So what?"
"Impossible! This must be your attempt to provoke me. I don't believe it unless you tell me what the method is for Heavenly Fire to become the Unspeakable!" said the Qilin Clan Chief.
"Why should I tell you? There's no reason," Bai Hao said calmly.
“You…” The Qilin clan leader suddenly stopped.
"Fine, I'll just say it to put your mind at ease. Anyway, you'll never leave this place to see Venerable Heavenly Fire, and I might be the last person to reach this place. I'll just take pity on you." Bai Hao looked at the Qilin Clan Chief and said, word by word:
"The Venerable Heavenly Fire told me that the most important thing to become the Ineffable is to find my own path. Only by finding my own path can I truly take that final step and become the Ineffable!"
