Chapter 257: The Doxxing Dog Gets Found Offline

Heavenly Secrets Tower!

As a major power that has produced a Fifth-Realm cultivator in history.

Though now in decline, the Fourth-Realm Tower Master, Bai Xiaosheng, remains one of the few formidable experts of the present age.

And the Heavenly Secrets Tower sits atop the sheer peak of Hidden Green Mountain in the northwest of the Great Zhou Kingdom; its terrain is perilous and extreme, shrouded in clouds and mist year-round, as if suspended beyond the Nine Heavens.

It can be said that martial artists throughout the world are extremely curious about this power.

Because rumors state that the Yongle Encyclopedia records all the secrets under heaven.

And the world always has doubts, hoping to glimpse the Yongle Encyclopedia to answer their questions through this opportunity.

But unfortunately, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion has always been incredibly mysterious to the outside world, refusing visitors; martial artists below the Third Realm do not even have the qualification to see through the maze at the foot of the mountain.

But this also conveniently facilitates Fang Can and others' visit.

Stepping onto the Coiling Snake Path leading to the summit, the so-called illusion realm barriers that even Second-Realm cultivators find difficult to break through are merely the first trial.

To reach the summit, one must still pass through layer upon layer of trials.

The Heavenly Secrets Tower uses the scenes at the mountain foot and mid-slope to convey to the outside world an attitude of refusing entry to strangers.

And these so-called checkpoints, in the face of Ji Donglai's teleportation, have no comparison whatsoever.

He stepped out with ease in just a few strides, effortlessly crossing the three trials of the treacherous Coiling Snake Path, the Hanging Mirror Abyss, and the Star-Shifting Plain.

When the mist cleared, Ji Donglai saw the massive pavilion before him, supported by nine pillars of meteoric iron.

The entire Heavenly Secrets Tower has nine stories, presenting a pyramid structure; the largest ground floor occupies fully several qing of land.

Observing the high gate before him carved with the pattern of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, Ji Donglai gently bent his fingers, preparing to break the door directly, after all, he was not truly preparing to visit politely.

But just as he prepared to strike, he saw the blood-red iron gate weighing several tons before him being slowly pushed open.

Subsequently, a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar looked at the crowd and asked politely, "Is the gentleman a visitor from a foreign land?"

Ji Donglai did not answer; instead, the Scarred Face frowned and said, "Are you the current Bai Xiaosheng?"

"... Yes." The Confucian scholar smiled bitterly twice and said, "I know why the gentleman has come; please, everyone, come inside first."

Ji Donglai did not move, restraining the impulse to strike directly and said, "Was it you who created those Rising Dragon List and Hidden Dragon List, causing the current situation?"

"This matter is indeed my fault, but it was truly unavoidable." Bai Xiaosheng said helplessly.

"Unavoidable?" Ji Donglai's fists tightened: "I see you having a great time doxxing people every day; where is the unavoidable part?"

"I'm afraid it's not that you think you're wrong, but that you're scared because we found you offline." The voice of Li Huowang, mocking, came from Ji Donglai's chest.

"Please, everyone, come inside; I will explain to you all." The white-robed Confucian scholar made a gesture of invitation.

Ji Donglai figured this guy couldn't pull off any tricks anyway, so he stepped forward and walked in directly.

And he prepared that if this guy answered even one thing poorly, he would immediately blast this hanging man and the entire mountain into nothingness.

Bai Xiaosheng walked ahead, exposing his back without any defense, and then said in a leisurely tone, "Do you all know what my martial arts inheritance is?"

Inside Ji Donglai's body, Fang Can's voice came leisurely: "The outside world all claims it is the 'Words Become Law' technique, improved from the Golden Mouth and Jade Utterance Art."

"Indeed so; to inherit this vast Heavenly Secrets Tower, one must reach the Fourth Realm and choose to cultivate the 【Words Become Law】 inheritance."

Walking up the stairs directly to the second floor, Bai Xiaosheng sighed, "But the problem lies in this inheritance; to cultivate this inheritance, there is a restriction: one cannot lie."

'Cannot lie?' Everyone, including Fang Can, was stunned.

"The effect of this inheritance requires that everything I say must be true." Bai Xiaosheng pointed to an object placed on the left side of the solid wood stairs and said, "Look, what is this?"

"A potted green plant?" Li Huowang poked his head out and replied.

"No, this is clearly a stone stele; it is three chi, three cun, and three fen long, one cun wide, and one chi high, with the four characters 'Heaven Rewards Diligence' written on it." Bai Xiaosheng said with certainty.

As he spoke, the potted plant began to twist wildly, then forcibly transformed into a stone stele.

And on the stone stele, the four carved characters were indeed 'Heaven Rewards Diligence'.

Looking at the stone stele before him, Li Huowang instinctively reached out to touch it; the touch was incredibly cold, real and without falsehood.

On the other side, the face of the Holy Separator, covered by a mask, became somewhat ugly.

Because he had been activating the Anti-Magic Domain the entire time, yet the opponent's inheritance still took effect.

"This is the ability of Words Become Law; as long as what I say is true, if it is not true, then reality must have a problem, so reality will be twisted into the correct form." Bai Xiaosheng sighed.

"There must be some restriction, right?" Fang Can said calmly:

"For example, strength; if you directly say that a Fifth-Realm or Fourth-Realm expert dies instantly, I'm afraid it would have no effect at all."

"Exactly so; once I speak a falsehood that violates reality too greatly, I myself will inevitably be instantly backlashed to death."

"And the reason I have survived to this day is that I can take responsibility for every word I speak; there are absolutely no lies, and even if it is a lie, it must become true." Bai Xiaosheng said helplessly.

The Holy Separator asked, "So, you deliberately exposed your inheritance to endorse the content you are about to say?"

"Exactly so; this Rising Dragon List and Hidden Dragon List are also related to this inheritance." Bai Xiaosheng said truthfully.

"You should all know that the first-generation Heavenly Secrets Tower Master loved discussing martial arts; regarding the power gaps between different martial artists, he wanted to debate them."

"Therefore, he chose the 【Yongle Encyclopedia】 inheritance and established the Heavenly Secrets List."

"And even after death, he did not intend to rest peacefully; instead, he decided to continue this custom."

"Starting from the second-generation Heavenly Secrets Tower Master, all must swear an oath."

"As long as the Heavenly Secrets Tower exists for one day, the Hidden Dragon and Rising Dragon Lists must be continued, with no regret, and every subsequent generation of Tower Master must continue this oath before ascending the throne."

"Because every generation of Tower Masters has the oath of not being able to lie, this Heavenly Secrets List has continued since the second generation."

"Those who come knocking like you all have not been a one-time occurrence."

"The original Heavenly Secrets List and Rising Dragon List recorded combat power information of Fifth-Realm martial artists."

"But after holding a few sessions, for self-preservation, they settled for less, recording only Fourth-Realm, Third-Realm, Second-Realm..."

"Until today, martial artists on the Path to Heaven are all hidden; only those cultivating the Tui Tui Fan Qu are recorded. This is already the limit of the oath; if it is truly cancelled, I will die."

Bai Xiaosheng turned his head bitterly and looked at Ji Donglai, saying, "So... do you all understand?"

Silence...

Even Fang Can was speechless; what ancestor's sudden whim caused descendants such suffering?

Even Bai Xiaosheng was wronged; ancestral rules cannot be changed. Originally, the record stated that martial artists who shed their mortal bodies would not attract trouble, and it had been recorded steadily for hundreds of years.

Yet suddenly, this freak Fang Can appeared.

You being the number one cauldron made everyone in the world want to bed you; is that my fault?
