Chapter 2287
"That Asura Spider, I have also heard a thing or two from a great capable person. The young body of this creature just born in the Asura World already possesses terrifying strength above the Core Formation stage. As the young body grows, the divine abilities of this monster also soar. When it becomes a true adult, its strength is almost infinitely close to a Great Ascension existence. Some Asura Spiders with extraordinary talents can even become extremely powerful existences comparable to true spirits. The Asura Spider you mentioned that can extract the Silk of Time refers to an adult body, right!" Mo Jianli said slowly.
"Brother Mo is unusually knowledgeable about these Asura World monsters. I will not hide it from you fellow Daoists; it is indeed only from adult Asura Spiders that one can extract the Silk of Time. And basically, it takes three Asura Spiders to extract one thread of Silk of Time. Of course, if you encounter the powerful Asura Spiders Brother Mo mentioned, one core is enough." The Spirit King replied with a strange look on his face.
Mo Jianli gave a bitter smile and didn't ask anything more.
Blood Burn and Black Scale heard this, and their faces couldn't help but become gloomy again.
After a long while, Blood Burn asked coldly:
"The Small Asura World is originally full of dangers, and adult Asura Spiders also have some strange divine abilities to control time. Even without Great Ascension stage magic power, I'm afraid they are not easier to deal with than ordinary Great Ascension existences. If we want to extract the Silk of Time, each of us needs to kill at least three. Doesn't fellow Daoist feel that paying only one Thunder Heaven Talisman and asking us to risk our lives is a bit inappropriate?"
"Inappropriate! I don't think so. Apart from the Thunder Heaven Talisman, I also took out two Asura Hearts. With their rarity, their value is only slightly inferior to the Thunder Heaven Talisman. Moreover, that Small Asura World has been famous for many rare resources for many years. If you fellow Daoists enter it, even if you can't find that Asura Spider, you will have a great harvest of other treasures. You can keep these things for yourselves. I will not extract any of them!" The white-robed old man said with an unchanging expression.
"This is different! The Asura Heart is originally a necessary item to enter the Small Asura World. No matter who Brother Spirit asks for help, you would take it out voluntarily, so how can it be counted in the reward. Moreover, after the Asura Heart is split into two, the time we stay in the Small Asura World is only about ten days or so, and we have to concentrate on looking for the Asura Spider, so where do we have time to look for other treasures? Hehe, Brother Spirit, why do you need to use these empty words to push us few people away. Moreover, even if we have an explosive harvest of some good treasures in the Small Spirit World, how can it compare to the risks we take? When our cultivation reaches our level, our own safety is the most important. The reason why my two brothers want that Thunder Heaven Talisman is just to avoid falling in future heavenly tribulations." Blood Burn laughed and said impolitely.
Mo Jianli's eyes flashed, clearly agreeing with the words of this foreign Great Ascension existence.
Han Li and Black Scale, one had a smile that wasn't a smile, and the other sneered.
The white-robed old man heard this, his brows furrowed, and after sweeping his gaze over the faces of Han Li and the others, he pondered and said:
"Four fellow Daoists, since you feel that such a transaction is unfair, then this way. As long as you can retrieve the Silk of Time from the Small Asura World, apart from the Thunder Heaven Talisman, you can also choose three more treasures from the directory I just took out. This is also my final bottom line. If you are still not satisfied, then leave on your own. I would rather go find others to help."
Saying the last few sentences, a trace of solemnity appeared on the old man's face.
"Choose three more treasures! Good, it's a deal. The cross-interface magic array to go to the Small Asura World, Brother Spirit, should already be prepared. My two brothers cannot wait here for long." Hearing this, Blood Burn had a smile on his face and agreed without hesitation.
"Fellow Daoist Blood, rest assured. The teleportation array has long been prepared, and it is on the holy mountain. As long as you are willing to set off, you can teleport to that Small Asura World immediately. Brother Mo, fellow Daoist Han, how do you decide?" The old man also had a trace of a smile on his face, saying with confidence.
After Mo Jianli's face changed between shades of gray and blue for a good while, he gritted his teeth and replied:
"Mo must get the Thunder Heaven Talisman, and I am willing to enter the Small Asura World to try."
"Since Brother Mo is willing to go to that Small Asura World, Han will naturally follow. However, I have one more condition: the coordinates for returning from the Small Asura World, I want to set them myself; I won't trouble Brother Spirit." Han Li stroked his chin and said lightly.
"Fellow Daoist Han, what does this mean? Do you not trust me?" The old man narrowed his eyes and stared at Han Li's face, feeling a bit unhappy.
"Nothing, I am just accustomed to keeping everything unknown under my own control; I hope fellow Daoist can fulfill this. I am quite knowledgeable about teleportation arrays, and using magic tools to slightly change the coordinates of the return teleportation shouldn't be too difficult." Han Li's expression remained unchanged.
"Fellow Daoist Han's words also coincide with my intentions. Blood is also quite knowledgeable about array paths; I will also set the coordinates for returning myself. If Brother Spirit doesn't agree, I will have to doubt your sincerity." Blood Burn laughed upon hearing this, and said to the old man in a tone that was not a smile.
"You fellow Daoists are overthinking. Since you all have this intention, then the coordinate magic disc for returning can be set by you fellow Daoists yourselves. It is best not to exceed our Spirit Race area. Otherwise, once you return late, I might misunderstand that you fellow Daoists have encountered some accidents, and I might have to handle the Thunder Heaven Talisman differently. You should know very clearly how hot these few talismans are. After I leaked their existence, I believe other fellow Daoists will soon come to the door, and it is impossible to keep them in my hands for too long." The white-robed old man's eyes flashed with sharp light, and he agreed without much persistence.
"Haha, Brother Spirit, rest assured. With the bloodline power of my brothers, the chance of finding the Asura Spider should be seven or eight percent. In just over ten days, you and I will each get what we want." Blood Burn showed a satisfied expression and laughed.
"I and fellow Daoist Han will also do our best after entering the Small Asura World." Mo Jianli said with a light breath.
"Very good. Since the four of you have no problems, then stay here for a night and make some preparations. Tomorrow morning, I will send you four fellow Daoists into that Small Asura World." The white-robed old man returned to calm, and then clapped his hands "Pa Pa" a few times.
Immediately, a side door opened, and several young women dressed in palace attire walked out from within. After bowing to Han Li and the others, they stood on both sides respectfully.
Blood Burn nodded, stood up with Black Scale, and followed two women toward the side door.
In a flash, their figures vanished from the hall.
At this time, Mo Jianli bowed to the white-robed old man and greeted Han Li to go down and rest for a while.
After Han Li stood up from the chair, he didn't leave immediately, but suddenly smiled and said to the white-robed old man:
"I have another unresolved matter in my heart that I want to ask fellow Daoist, but I wonder if it is appropriate to ask or not?"
"Oh, if fellow Daoist has something to ask, just ask." The white-robed old man was a bit surprised, but said with an unchanging expression.
"I heard some rumors in the outside world, saying that from the time the Spirit Race established itself in the Spirit World, all generations of Spirit Kings were actually the same person. But I wonder if this matter is true or false, and what is your true lifespan?" Han Li asked with a smile, a question that stunned Mo Jianli beside him.
"Haha, I have also heard some of these rumors myself. But naturally, it is nonsense. Our race has appeared in this world for a full million years. Even if our Spirit Race's heavenly tribulations have a longer interval than ordinary races, how could we possibly live for such a long time? However, it is true that some generations of Spirit Kings in our race's history have held their positions for a long time, so perhaps some foreign races who didn't know the truth spread these rumors." The white-robed old man laughed lightly and explained a few words.
"So that's how it is. I also said that the Spirit World is not the True Immortal World, so how could there be existences with a lifespan of over a million years." Han Li nodded with a smile, then walked toward another side door with Mo Jianli, led by two other Spirit Race women.
When the two figures vanished into the door, the white-robed old man, who had been watching their backs, suddenly had the smile on his face vanish.
"Hehe, True Immortal World! This kid actually sensed something, but there are more than one or two people who have asked me this directly to my face." The white-robed old man muttered two sentences in a voice that could barely be heard.
Then, the white-robed old man suddenly formed a seal with one hand, and after a flash of white light on his body, his whole person blurred and vanished on the spot.
After a moment, in a pitch-black void space deep in the belly of this Fu Ling Mountain, a milky white light array flashed in the void, and the white-robed old man's figure appeared without a sound.
Han Li swept his gaze over the pitch-black void all around, his brows furrowed, but he immediately flicked his sleeve fiercely toward the high sky.
Immediately, a dozen light balls flew out, and after swirling and dancing, they hung in the high sky.
Then the old man formed a seal with one hand to urge them, and these light balls suddenly became dazzling, illuminating the entire space clearly.
About thirty or forty zhang away from the old man, there was actually a crystal ice peak over a thousand zhang high, its surface flashing with blue light, and most of the mountain body was shrouded by a giant golden rune.
And through the semi-transparent cold ice, one could vaguely see a handsome youth in a golden robe at the bottom of the ice peak, unconscious and bound by layers of rune chains.
On his forehead, there was actually a golden pattern identical in shape to the rune on the ice wall.
Seeing this, the white-robed old man approached the ice wall with a few flashes without hesitation, reached out an arm, and pressed a palm against the ice wall before him.
Threads of white light surged wildly from his palm.
