He stood up and said with a smile, "I wonder if you could share something about the Luoshui Palace and these two people?"
Yun Zhiyi found his sly smile somewhat amusing.
Five questions.
She sat down at the table and gestured to the two of them.
Give five chances to ask questions.
Fu Yuanbo was originally just testing the waters, and he was thinking about what methods he could use to pry as many secrets as possible out of her.
He was surprised by her honesty, which made him a little uncertain.
"Anything is fine?"
Yun Zhiyi raised an eyebrow. "I have the right to decide whether to answer, so think carefully before you ask."
Fu Yuanbo's brows relaxed slightly; he was indeed still that cunning little fox.
However, while the five questions have limitations, there is still a lot of room for maneuver.
He sat down opposite him and asked directly.
"The first question is, what is the relationship between the demonic energy within these people and their breakthrough?"
He does know how to grasp the key points, and he grasps them very accurately, directly seizing upon the demonic energy.
Having learned about several key elements such as the Luoshui Palace, the lost secret techniques, the underground palace altar, and demonic energy, Fu Yuanbo had already guessed most of the situation.
However, he was only speculating about Luoshui Palace's motives.
They simply wanted to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors, cultivating by absorbing demonic energy, attempting to find a new path.
But he always felt that this path was wrong.
I also don't think that the method Yun Zhiyi mentioned is the same approach.
He also cleverly used an answer-oriented questioning approach to avoid accidentally using an open-ended question and being met with a simple yes or no.
Yun Zhiyi saw through his little scheme and couldn't help but chuckle.
She gave him five questions, and had no intention of hiding anything.
The so-called restrictions are only related to her identity.
"I thought you would ask why you couldn't break through first."
Fu Yuanbo raised an eyebrow, his mind racing.
This is what he most wants to know.
However, because this question was so important, he hesitated to ask it directly, lest he waste an opportunity.
Now that the other party has brought it up, is it within the scope of what can be answered?
He smiled and said, "If you can answer that, then it can be considered the second question."
Yun Zhiyi curled her lip, "Old fox."
"In that case, I'll answer both questions at once. It's now clear that demonic energy is the direct cause of the inability to break through."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yuanbo's expression changed.
Fu Tingchen was also quite surprised.
Based on previously found information, combined with the information just obtained from the people of Luoshui Palace.
The grandfather and grandson's guesses were almost identical.
The Luoshui Palace resorted to these strange and wicked methods in order to break through the method of breakthrough.
In their understanding, it is only after overcoming the initial limitations that one seeks a solution.
It turns out that this thing that appeared halfway through is the real culprit.
Based on the timing, it seems impossible to connect.
Fu Yuanbo pursed his lips. "Could you please elaborate?"
Seeing their expressions, Yun Zhiyi didn't keep them in suspense.
Now that several tasks are progressing well, there are some things that she can't do alone.
"What I'm about to say might sound a bit far-fetched; it's up to you whether you believe it or not."
"I'd like to hear the details," Fu Yuanbo said immediately.
Yun Zhiyi nodded. "Simply put, our world is just one small world in the universe, like a city with many houses."
As he spoke, he glanced at the two of them again, and seeing that they didn't seem too surprised or uncertain, but rather a little thoughtful, he continued.
“We were one of those houses, but one day, our neighbor secretly drilled a hole in our outer wall. It just so happened that this neighbor had something bad about him, something like a highly contagious plague. This stuff leaked in through the hole, and the people in the room where the hole was located were the first to be infected. The people in the other rooms of the house didn’t want the infection to spread, so they sealed off the room, making it impossible for the people inside to get out unless they could solve the infection and cut off the source of infection.”
Her words, though veiled, were also very simple and easy to understand.
Neither of them were stupid. Even though the information was indeed very unbelievable, upon closer examination, it seemed quite reasonable.
However, there are still many questions that remain.
After Yun Zhiyi finished speaking, she didn't ask any further questions, giving the two of them time to process what she had to say.
After a short while, Fu Yuanbo cleared his mind and his expression became unusually solemn.
He asked, "Is the person inside the house, who is sealed off from the outside, in another part of the world? So, in order to cross the threshold of breakthrough, one must open the door to that other place?"
Yun Zhiyi nodded again, "Not bad."
Fu Tingchen pursed his lips. "But to open this door, we must solve the infection problem. But even if we solve it, how do we open the door? The control of the door is obviously in the hands of other homeowners."
Yun Zhiyi glanced at the two of them, and seeing that they were about to continue asking questions, she raised her finger and said, "I'll treat this as two questions."
“Our house may be a two-story building. We are currently on the first floor, only half a zhang tall. The people in the room will gradually grow taller. When they reach the top, they can open the skylight on the top to leave the house and continue to grow. Otherwise, they will not be able to grow any taller.”
"The second problem is that the person outside the door is at most someone who temporarily locked the door. As long as we can find the door later, we can try to break it open even without the key."
After hearing the two explanations, the grandfather and grandson's expressions were almost synchronized, their surprise deepening.
Even though they had already suspected it.
Even after things became fully clear, the impact was still significant.
After the initial shock came a sudden realization.
Fu Yuanbo let out a deep breath, and the many fogs that had previously obscured his vision were instantly dispelled.
He had wondered before where those who successfully broke through five hundred years ago had gone.
It's impossible for them all to die.
This is an unsolved mystery.
He had actually wondered if a secluded place like Cloud Mist Island truly existed in this world.
These people may have entered the island and become trapped there for some reason.
People from outside the area can't find that island either.
But this guess is still far-fetched.
It doesn't make sense why someone who has achieved a breakthrough would go to Cloud Mist Island.
Now that Yun Zhiyi has explained it this way, it's clear.
Perhaps that island is actually a gateway to another place.
Those who break through can only reach another place by going to that place, breaking free of constraints, and continuing to grow stronger.
Now that the door is gone, these people are trapped in this small room and can no longer grow.
Therefore, to truly solve this problem, three things must be done.
Find the door, dispel the demonic energy, and plug the loopholes.
Now, he has two questions he wants to know.
Is that the Cloud Mist Island mentioned in the records, or is it the gate?
It doesn't matter if you find Cloud Mist Island, or you can go to any place where Cloud Mist Island has appeared before.
The other question, and the most crucial one, is where the loophole that led to all of this lies.
But now only one question remains.
He thought for a while, then asked the most crucial question.
The best course of action now is to resolve the current problems.
Once the internal problems are solved, the door can be found gradually.
