Chapter 998: Whatever the case,
"Calm down. We didn't mean to hide this from you. It's just that you are still inexperienced, so we're giving you a chance to grow."
Ye Linglong started to give advice in earnest terms.
"Think about it carefully. How many mistakes have you made since you came here? Judging people by appearances and trusting others easily. If you meet a powerful character, which one of these is not fatal?
You are strong and can resist if you are ambushed, but your master is powerless and what can he do if the enemy's knife is hanging around his neck?"
Heilong sat down, sighed, grabbed the wine bottle and poured it directly into his mouth.
He was indeed in the wrong in this matter and he had nothing to say.
"This is a world full of malice, and we are doing this for your own good."
Black Dragon nodded, and for a moment he didn't think there was anything wrong.
Bilian beside her also nodded, not because she thought it made sense, but because she was habitually flattering her leader.
"Remember the mistakes you made. If you can't remember, look at Bilian."
!!!
Heilong was about to continue nodding, but suddenly he raised his head abruptly and said something irrelevant!
Bilian was about to continue his flattery, but at this moment he quickly shrank his body and said, "Ancestor Ye, it doesn't matter if you don't add the last sentence. This silly dragon will never learn to be smart anyway."
Perhaps because he had experienced this kind of stimulation many times, the Black Dragon became furious and smashed the bowl in front of Bilian. Once the bowl was broken, his anger also disappeared.
During this process, no one was injured except for Bilian's dirty little heart and his bowl.
After having a good meal and a few drinks, there was silence for a few seconds.
Ye Linglong looked towards Bilian.
"Bilian, do you know how to leave here?"
"I know. Although we all fell from above, we can't leave from above. We can only go down. From the First Abyss to the Ninth Abyss and Eighteen Abyss, when we reach the end here, we should be able to get out."
"should?"
"This is just a rumor passed down by word of mouth. There is no evidence to prove it is true, and no one has really left. It's as if everyone is making up a hope for themselves in this endless darkness."
“But it’s not necessarily untrue.”
"Yes. No one in the First Netherworld has ever gone down there. We don't know what it's like below the Ninth Netherworld. So even if someone really went out, we wouldn't know. So this legend may not be untrue."
"Then how do we get from the first to the second?"
"Do you remember the vine that appeared in your hands after you came in? Now look down again and see if it has grown a branch and a leaf?"
Ye Linglong and the other two looked down at their wrists and saw that the single vine on their wrists had grown a branch and a leaf.
"The number of branches represents your level. When the corresponding branches have ten leaves, you will be qualified to move on to the next level."
“How do you grow leaves?”
“There are two ways to grow leaves: the first is to accumulate them yourself, and the second is to compete with others for them.
The accumulation of the evil spirits is to absorb the evil spirits in the Nine Netherworld, transform the evil spirits into strength and accumulate them in the body, so that leaves can grow. Just like the human race absorbs spiritual energy to increase their cultivation, and the demon race absorbs demonic energy to cultivate and gain enlightenment. Absorb the evil spirits and grow leaves.
But the difference is that this process is extremely difficult. The human race, the demon race, the monster race, and the ghost race all have their own aura of cultivation, and it is easy to cultivate and transform them. But the evil spirit does not belong to any race, it is difficult to absorb and transform, and it also hurts the body.
There are many people who have accumulated one or two leaves over a long period of time in this way, but I have never seen anyone who has accumulated ten leaves and left.
So far, all the people I have seen leaving the first yurt and going down to the second yurt had done so by fighting and snatching.
Go down to the place of darkness and abyss, where there is a huge arena. You can challenge anyone there. The chosen person cannot refuse the challenge. If you lose, you will lose a leaf. If you win, you can get a leaf from the opponent. Even if you kill the opponent, you can only get one leaf.
If all the leaves are lost, that person will be wiped out by the rules of the Nine Hells and Eighteen Abysses."
Sure enough, there are fixed rules here. What Hu Fang said before about relying on chance was simply a lie to her.
It wouldn't be a big problem to compete in a competition. After all, the highest level of cultivation among the people in the First Ghost was the fusion stage, and anyone with the fusion stage could become the champion. It wouldn't be difficult for her to win nine games in a row.
The difficult part is not leaving this level, but walking down one level after another.
"Bilian, how long have you been in the First You?"
Bilian was startled and thought about it carefully for a long time.
"I don't remember exactly, but it should be more than 500 years old."
Hearing this, not only Black Dragon, but even Ye Linglong was shocked.
He actually stayed here for so long!
You have to know that a person who has reached the state of Divine Transformation can only live for a thousand years at most!
This rabbit demon in the incarnation stage has contributed most of his life here!
"How many leaves have you accumulated in such a long time?"
"Two pieces. Most of the people here are in the period of cultivation. I always lose in martial arts competitions, so I haven't been able to accumulate any skills over the years. I can only survive here with great difficulty."
Bilian sighed and kept her eyes down while speaking, not looking at anyone.
Just as Black Dragon was about to lament his poor useless behavior, Ye Linglong chuckled and said, "Black Dragon, take action."
Although he was surprised, he took action immediately. He pulled open Bilian's wrist and clearly saw that there were nine leaves on the wrist that he had covered with magic!
He only needs one more piece to leave!
Having been exposed, Bilian stepped back in a hurry and began to make up stories with an ugly look on her face.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I have so many leaves and my strength is low. What if someone finds out and sends me to the ring? I worked so hard to save these leaves!"
This time Heilong learned his lesson. After hearing these words, he turned his gaze directly to Ye Linglong. If he didn't understand the analysis, he would stop analyzing and just copied the answer directly.
Ye Linglong smiled again.
"Isn't it that you didn't collect enough, but that you simply don't want to leave?"
Bilian was stunned, and a bitter smile appeared on her slightly red face after drinking.
As expected of Ye Zuzong, he is not easy to deceive at all.
"With my strength, I can barely guarantee my survival in the First Ghost, but if I go to the Second Ghost, I won't know how I died.
There is no hope of getting out anyway, so why would I go down and die?
Don't be so surprised, there are many people here who don't want to leave.
For example, the leaders of the demons, monsters, and ghosts are all at the rare fusion stage of the first level, so it would be easy for them to go to the second level. But if they go down, they have to be squeezed by others to survive, which is not as good as being arrogant and domineering on the top.
For example, many people would die if they went down, or they don’t want to go back to the upper world, so they choose to stay here to live, and many people even reproduce here.”
"That being said, it's not easy to survive in this First Quiet Place."
