Zhou Xingdou's words made the soul in the ring hesitate for a moment, as if wondering if it had truly misunderstood this person.
But Zhou Xingdou's next words made her sneer inwardly.
Zhou Xingdou looked at the bronze ring, a smile playing on his lips, and drawled out:
"but......"
Although the soul within the ring felt disdain, the opportunity for resurrection was right before its eyes, and it couldn't help but feel a little anxious, interrupting Zhou Xingdou's drawn-out voice:
"What is it? Please speak frankly, fellow Daoist."
Zhou Xingdou's lips curled slightly. He slowly said:
"Before I can reshape your soul, I have a few questions for you."
The soul within the ring was somewhat puzzled by Zhou Xingdou's request to ask several questions, but still succinctly stated its position:
"Please speak."
Zhou Xingdou didn't interrupt and asked directly:
Where is this place?
He has been in this world for a day and a night since he woke up, but he still doesn't understand this world at all, and doesn't even know what it's called.
Of course, Zhou Xingdou could ask Xiao Tianzuo, but although Xiao Tianzuo is the Chosen One of the World, his cultivation level is too low, and he probably doesn't know much.
Those who can act as personal grandfathers are all encyclopedic beings. By seeking information from the soul within the ring, who is the personal grandfather of the world, one can obtain the most reliable and accurate information.
The ring's spirit paused for a moment, then said calmly:
"Desolate Sky, Green Wood Mansion, Nine Yuan Mountains."
Zhou Xingdou raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this and said:
"Desolate Heaven? Is that the name of this world?"
Zhou Xingdou's words caused the bronze ancient ring to tremble instantly, and the soul within the ring suddenly exclaimed in slight surprise:
"You really are from another world!"
Stephen Chow seemed quite interested in the soul's reaction within the ring, and asked in return:
"So what if they're from another world?"
Moreover, judging from the voice of the soul within the ring, he should have already guessed that he was from another world, but he only confirmed it just now.
"Nothing much, it's just that my world is almost completely closed off. People inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in. I never expected that there would be people from other worlds."
The soul in the ring explained, but her tone was no longer cold; instead, it contained a hint of admiration, as if being able to enter this world was an extremely remarkable thing.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingdou rubbed his chin and murmured:
Is it almost completely closed off?
His arrival in this world was indeed an accident. In fact, he had already made plans in the past few days. If he could not accumulate 360,000 luck points, he could break through the boundary and explore the outer reaches of this world.
If all else fails, he can rush back to the primordial chaos from the chaos, since with his current physical body, crossing the chaotic sea is not too difficult.
But now, the words of the soul in the ring undoubtedly negate Zhou Xingdou's plan.
Seeing that Zhou Xingdou's expression was off, the soul in the ring took the initiative to ask:
"Are you perhaps thinking about how to leave my realm?"
Stephen Chow didn't hide it, nor was there any need to:
"Yes, my arrival in this world was an accident, and I will have to leave soon."
The soul within the ring sighed softly upon hearing this, then offered some words of advice:
"I advise you to abandon this idea."
Zhou Xingdou frowned and asked:
Why?
Logically speaking, if he could get in, why was the soul in the ring so certain that he couldn't get out? This undoubtedly piqued Zhou Xingdou's curiosity.
The soul within the ring did not hold back, explaining calmly:
"Your Excellency may not know this, but although our realm is almost closed off, there have been people from other worlds who have broken in. Most of them may even be more powerful than Your Excellency, but without exception, they all eventually perished in this realm."
"That's why I suspected you were from another world, but I didn't stop Tianzuo from becoming your disciple, because you couldn't leave."
Zhou Xingdou showed no dissatisfaction or anger at the ring's soul's arbitrary answer; he simply smiled and said:
"Yeah?"
For Zhou Xingdou, it was merely the shattering of one of his ideas, nothing to make him nervous or desperate. The system was there to back him up, and while 360,000 luck points was difficult, it was not impossible.
Although he wouldn't be so heartless as to kill his own disciple, he didn't believe that there were no other people with destiny and fate in this world besides Xiao Tianzuo.
If he has it, how could he not increase his luck value?
Moreover, it seems that helping Xiao Tianzuo will also earn me luck points, and it shouldn't take too long to accumulate 360,000 for traversing the heavens.
The soul within the ring naturally sensed Zhou Xingdou's disbelief, but didn't argue, simply saying:
"I'm just stating the facts. If you don't believe me, you can try it. If you can find a way to break through the barrier, that will benefit this world."
Zhou Xingdou, naturally, wouldn't waste time on this unnecessary topic, and immediately changed the subject, asking again:
How are cultivation realms divided in this world?
"The six realms of body refinement, essence refinement, technique refinement, earth refinement, heaven refinement, and Dao refinement."
The first five realms are further divided into three realms, with body refinement divided into blood forging, skin forging, and bone forging.
Refining essence is divided into absorbing qi, absorbing spirit, and absorbing deity.
The methods of cultivation are divided into Qi transformation, spirit transformation, and method transformation.
The refining process is divided into inner landscape, outer landscape, and Dharma form.
The Refining Heaven is divided into the Dharma Body, the Grotto Heaven, and the Covered Heaven.
As for the Dao of Refinement, there are only two realms: the Initial Realm and the Ultimate Realm.
The soul within the precept spoke eloquently, revealing the detailed aspects of each realm.
Zhou Xingdou nodded. He could only say that all the systems of the heavens had something in common. Apart from the Dao Realm of the heavens, most of them started with the physical body before they began to draw in and absorb Qi.
These six realms and seventeen stages may seem complex, but they are actually quite similar to the Primordial System. Even without understanding the strength and changes of these realms, Zhou Xingdou can pinpoint the correspondence between the Primordial System and this world system simply by looking at the Dharma Aspect and Dharma Body realms.
Because the naming of these two realms is similar to the characteristics of the Primordial Great Sage and the Supreme Being, the Great Sage cultivates the Dharma Form, and the Supreme Being achieves the Dharma Body. It can be inferred from mere speculation that the Refining Earth Realm is probably equivalent to the Saint Realm, and the Refining Heaven Realm is equivalent to the Supreme Being.
Moreover, there are two realms above it: the Refining Dao Realm and the Emperor Realm. It is unknown whether these are equivalent to the Quasi-Emperor and Emperor Realm. If so, this world is probably no less than the Primordial Era, and is at least a five-and-a-half-star world.
Now that he has reached the peak of the Dragon-Elephant realm, comparable to the Creator, he is still a peak five-star powerhouse. Although he cannot dominate the world, he is still a force to be reckoned with.
But instead of guessing blindly, why not ask this soul of the realm:
"In your opinion, what realm of yours can I be compared to?"
As he spoke, Zhou Xingdou's cultivation level was no longer concealed, and his flawless body also released a trace of astonishing divine power.
Facing Zhou Xingdou's oppressive aura at such close range, the soul light within the ring flashed, seemingly startled by Zhou Xingdou's power, and remained silent for a long while before replying:
“I am currently only at the Soul stage, so my detection may not be accurate, but I feel that your cultivation level should be at the Earth Refining stage, but your physical body seems to be even stronger than the Heaven-Covering Realm.”
