A ghostly blue flame appeared in his pupils, burning and sublimating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burly man in a white T-shirt came over and said, \"Master is ready... Is this reliable?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Caiming glanced at him and smiled, \"I don’t know either, what do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man also chuckled, saying, \"I don’t think it matters. Whether it’s reliable or not, if the master says to do it, then we do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three candles flickered in the gale, seemingly about to extinguish, yet they stood firm, with the leftmost one being the tallest, a good three inches higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several hanging corpses swayed side to side, fresh blood dripping around, forming arcs, seemingly free-falling yet forming a patterned shape like interwoven ellipses, resembling a crown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Caiming looked up at the sky and took out a thin, jet-black, tattered little book from his pocket, with each page containing incomprehensible symbols and diagrams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feilin! Hear my call, even through the vast spaces of time, wisdom connects you and me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He uttered in a high-pitched voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skull on the Ghost Cry Totem twitched, the locks began to turn, and a tremendous noise arose from all around like metal gears grinding against chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire space started spinning centered on him, as if opening a giant mechanical box in which he was the content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though vague, this description was extremely fitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was letting some unknown entity into this box, through this method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that Bronze Gate appeared in the sky, the world became more loosened yet more filled, with more gaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is wisdom?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aggregation of Spirit and knowledge?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Caiming understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wisdom is death, it is eternity, it is time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the answer given by the other side, recorded in this Book of Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small hand adorned with a Sapphire Ring reached out to him, and the surrounding light turned pitch black, as if plunged into endless nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to normal procedures, it’s enough to stand still, awaiting death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn’t here to die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An eye shattered like glass, revealing a three-dimensional, floating blue flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, he pulled a string of silver iron Buddhist Beads from his pocket, holding them high, the blue glow enveloping him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The book in his hands instantly turned to dust, dissipating in the air, along with his clothes, gloves, and cane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death is the end of things, the passage of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clever little kid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint sigh came from the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless white lights appeared in the air, wrapping around the small hand, forcing it to retract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue glow gradually faded, Chu Caiming regained vitality, and with a thump, he knelt on the ground, panting heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gale suddenly stopped, calming down as if afraid of disturbing something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you alright, Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man approached with clothes in hand, asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Caiming put on the clothes, chuckling lightly, \"I’m fine for now.
