[In the previous glimpses of the future you saw, this old bastard used threats to force you to hand over the method of rebuilding your lives; if you didn't, he would destroy your entire existence.]
[A normal sixth-realm cultivator would probably be completely controlled by this method, otherwise their cultivation would be stagnant for at least a thousand years, wasting one percent of their lifespan. The more Dao Seals they have, the more time they will waste.]
In one future scenario, even after you explicitly refused, he actually took action, but his target wasn't you, but Xu Ling'er.
[It's been quite clear from our previous interactions that you hold a higher position than Xu Ling'er. Therefore, after your incarnation is broken, you will definitely become even stronger. Even if he really has to force one of you to come out, he will definitely choose the weaker one.]
[Since you were already in the future that time, you couldn't possibly have foreseen it again, so before you could react, you saw Xu Ling'er get injured.]
[Perhaps Baili Zhenyan only decided to use a heavy hand back then, just to push you further and show you that if he didn't obtain the method to rebuild your cultivation, he was truly determined to destroy your lives and leave you wounded while he was defeated, and he didn't actually intend to kill Xu Ling'er.]
[Perhaps he will eventually injure you to a certain extent and then stop, yielding to his inability to force you, and allowing you both to leave with your bodies restored.]
You're unsure whether he's playing mind games or genuinely doesn't want to lose his life, because you can't possibly stand by and watch Xu Ling'er suffer another blow in that future.
"My disciple, so obedient, so filial... I couldn't bear to hit her, how dare you, you dog, do this!!!"
At that time, Xu Ling'er did not know that you could descend. She unleashed her true essence and burned her source, but she still did not have the strength to fight against Baili Zhenyan. She was completely suppressed and had no power to resist. Yet she still insisted on stopping Baili Zhenyan alone and forcibly sending you away...
[Thus, in this future, you descended in fourfold power, crushing Baili Zhenyan, this boiling creature of 520,000 thorns, into dust. His soul, still bearing the Dao imprint, attempted to escape, hoping to later possess another body or recreate a physical form, but it too was annihilated by you.]
"That doesn't seem right."
Yun Shou recalled the first few paragraphs of text on the simulator and asked in confusion.
"If Baili Zhenyan only has 520,000, Xu Ling'er already had 110,000 before, and after burning her source, she had more than 330,000. How could she still not be his match?"
Among low-level martial artists, more than half have a large difference in strength. Due to their high attack, low defense, and thin health bars, they often crush each other and kill each other instantly.
However, once they reach the fifth or sixth level, even a difference of four or five times is not enough to leave them "without any power to fight back." A mere difference of half the strength means that the outcome cannot be determined in the short term, and they can fight for a long time!
He had a vague idea in his mind.
[If Baili Zhenyan had attacked you, you wouldn't be in this state. At most, you would have beaten him to a pulp, and then broadcast his fancy snow descents and snow drinks to the entire Nine Realms.]
"That snow, right?"
Yun Shou was helpless. No matter how high he climbed to the second level of the sixth realm, he still couldn't escape the historical records.
Now, even though he hasn't made a move yet, you're not going to let him off easy.
[Verbal threats are one thing, but to actually dare to lay a hand on him, and on your precious disciple no less... Baili Zhenyan must pay a heavy price!]
However, you need to find the right time.
【boom--】
[The area around the carriage was completely enveloped by Baili Zhenyan's true essence, blocking all outside vision and locking the three of you in this small space. Baili Zhenyan stood up, unleashing his earth-shattering cultivation power.]
He stepped onto the table, the Dao Seal resembling a miniature crown affixed to his brow, radiating its aura of power. Xu Ling'er took a step back; the Venerable Origin Dao Seal held immense suppressive power over cultivators of its system.
[In the event of a conflict, Xu Ling'er wouldn't even be able to unleash one-tenth of her true strength against Baili Zhenyan!]
"Alright, it really is the Dao Seal system that suppresses it."
[But you are a bit different. You currently possess the Venerable Origin, Extreme Martial, and Mind Master systems simultaneously. However, the first two are powers added by Dao Seals, and Baili Zhenyan's Venerable Origin Dao Seal cannot suppress you because you both possess the Venerable Origin Dao Seal.]
However, if a sixth-realm cultivator with a "Mind Master's Seal" were to become your enemy, they would suppress your current Mind Master strength by more than half, without affecting the power of the Venerable Origin and Extreme Martial Arts systems.
"You two, is this really necessary?" The pressure of Emperor Baili Zhenyan was fine on Xu Ling'er, but on you, it would absolutely force you to your knees.
You remain firmly seated in place.
“At this point, the Descent skill has already been used,” Yun Shou said.
"Are you sure you want to make a move? Don't you know that since my master and I have chosen to start over, our strength is at least one level above yours!"
You casually uttered the above words, but then your tone sharpened in this next sentence: "Baili Zhenyan, are you ready to face the wrath of two beings at the same realm?"
[Bai Li Zhenyan assumed you had a special divine body or means to avoid kneeling, and he laughed loudly, his voice shaking the heavens and earth: "You're getting impatient!"]
【you:"……"】
"From your attitude, I am increasingly certain! The destruction of your rebuilt bodies will come at an incredibly heavy price!"
"This is a gamble! The future of this gamble is not in my hands, but in yours!"
[A resolute glint appeared in Baili Zhenyan's eyes: "I don't have much time left, only a little over ten thousand years... Either you hand over the method to rebuild your cultivation, or you destroy your bodies that are currently rebuilding, and then come back to me to avenge your defeat!"]
"Master." Xu Ling'er subconsciously looked at you. She knew that a higher level of spiritual essence could accelerate the stabilization of the Dao Seal, but that also required time, and involved rebuilding an entire system.
[If she were currently at the sixth realm, then it wouldn't matter; she could simply sacrifice herself to help you deal with Baili Zhenyan.]
But she's only at the fifth realm!
Xu Ling'er was somewhat anxious, and her expression only amplified Baili Zhenyan's confidence!
"It's a very simple matter; all I need to do is tell you the method..." Baili Zhenyan shook his head and said, "Why go to such lengths?"
"Because of your bad attitude," you said.
Baili Zhenyan chuckled, too lazy to argue with you: "Gentlemen, my pilgrimage still has four months to go, you have plenty of time to consider."
[He was confident of victory. With a wave of his hand, he lifted the previous seal of true energy and showed the rest of the group fruits and vegetables.]
"Until the pilgrimage ends, you two will be my guests. As for after the pilgrimage..." Bai Lizhenyan said meaningfully, "I hope you will remain my guests as well."
