Chapter 321 gets straight to the heart of the matter and decides to report.
“That’s right.” Ji Ying nodded slightly, confirming Chu Lengyu’s guess.
Although it was not difficult to reach this conclusion, Ji Ying was secretly amazed by her keen insight.
What surprised him even more was that Chu Lengyu showed no fear whatsoever when facing the behemoth that was the Star Palace.
For some reason, Ji Ying suddenly felt tense, as if she were under some inexplicable pressure.
It seemed that the person in front of him was not a Nascent Soul cultivator, but a Divine Transformation cultivator, or even higher.
He couldn't find a way to describe such a demeanor; he could only feel that this person's brilliance was undeniable.
He suppressed his previous disdain and said, "Various ascension alliances and anti-star organizations are commonplace, but they have never been able to stir up any trouble. Fellow Daoist, why don't you guess why?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Lengyu lowered her head slightly, her gaze seemingly piercing through the gale as she looked down.
The strong winds obstructed divine sense, making it impossible to see the earth.
Ji Ying looked down and suddenly realized that what she was looking at were actually those insignificant mortals below.
The Star Palace views the ascended cultivators of the lower realms just as they look down upon the mortals below.
No matter how much mortals struggle, to cultivators, it is nothing more than a battle between ants, insignificant and harmless.
The same applies to the relationship between ascended cultivators and the Star Palace.
At this moment, Chu Lengyu said calmly, "Cultivators are stronger than mortals for two reasons: aptitude and cultivation techniques. The Star Palace controls the realm, fears no rebellion, and is unconcerned about these two factors."
These words shocked Ji Yingxin.
Such incisive and insightful analysis—is she really just a native from the lower realm?!
He looked at her intently again, paused, and then exclaimed sincerely, "Fellow Daoist's insight is truly admirable."
"What you say is correct. The Star Palace's control over cultivators in the lower realms is precisely related to their aptitude and cultivation techniques."
"The difference between the lower and upper realms is like the difference between clouds and mud. If an ascended cultivator wishes to integrate into the upper realm, he must take the Cleansing Pill to wash away the 'dust' of the lower realm. Moreover, the cultivation techniques of the lower realm have limited potential and are far inferior to the exquisite techniques of the upper realm."
Ji Ying sighed, "The recipe for the Cleansing Dust Pill is tightly held by the Star Palace, and no one outside can refine it. As for cultivation techniques, the Star Palace has the most comprehensive set, which can be obtained by exchanging merit points without having to travel around searching for them."
Upon hearing this, Chu Lengyu nodded gently.
Therefore, if ascended cultivators wish to establish themselves in the Upper Realm, they can only sign a contract and serve the Star Palace.
Those organizations that attempt to oppose the Star Palace are like ants trying to shake a tree; they are unlikely to amount to anything.
It seems that conflict is inevitable everywhere.
Perhaps it was her insightful views and magnanimity that changed Ji Ying's mind, and he took the initiative to share more valuable information.
For example, the different reputations of the various star palaces, the method of exchanging the Cleansing Dust Pill for the cultivation techniques of the upper realm, and how forces such as the Myriad Star Alliance make their choices, revealing a rare frankness in his words.
If they weren't currently in the gale-force winds, each holding a deadly move and wary of each other, it would truly be a harmonious and friendly scene.
Thinking of this, Chu Lengyu suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you for today, but..."
Before the words were even finished, the two of them attacked simultaneously.
Show off your edge!
After this conversation, Ji Ying finally made up her mind.
This woman must not be allowed to live!
He had a vague premonition that if she could not be used for his own purposes, she would become a major threat.
Therefore, he must nip this threat in the bud as soon as possible.
Ji Ying retreated swiftly, her gaze resolute, without the slightest hesitation.
A peculiar statue of the God of Plague suddenly appeared before them. The statue was entirely black, shrouded in demonic energy, and exuded an ominous aura.
Chu Lengyu caught a glimpse of the black statue and her heart skipped a beat. She immediately remembered the information that Old Demon Huang had deliberately revealed earlier.
Her expression changed slightly, then she became serious. She waved her hand and pressed down. The Jizhou Cauldron had disappeared from her sea of consciousness and transformed into a stream of light, flying rapidly towards the statue, intending to suppress it.
However, the statue, surrounded by demonic energy, remained completely unaffected by the Jizhou Cauldron and floated steadily in the air.
Upon seeing this, Chu Lengyu immediately understood the gap between the two sides.
Without hesitation, she immediately retrieved the Jizhou Cauldron, turned around, and flew away, quickly retreating back below the Gangfeng layer.
Ji Ying no longer paid attention to Chu Lengyu, but instead respectfully bowed to the statue and then secretly communicated with it in the obscure language of the Parasitic Clan.
He had already decided to report the existence of the Abyss Water to the Mother Nest, while emphasizing the threat posed by Chu Lengyu.
No one in the three realms of immortals, demons, or spirits wants a second Tang Qingying to appear.
One such uncontrollable and dangerous individual is enough to cause them a great deal of trouble.
Upon hearing of the existence of the Abyss Water, the high priest showed a hint of surprise. However, as a servant of the God of Plague, his mind was already as calm as a still well, and he simply nodded.
Ji Ying didn't know the specific uses of the Demon Abyss Water, but the High Priest knew a little. After a moment's thought, he figured out how to handle the matter.
However, the high priest did not take the strange female cultivator from the lower realm that Ji Ying had emphasized to heart.
In his view, Ji Ying was deliberately exaggerating to exonerate herself. It was too bizarre that a lineup of one Nascent Soul cultivator and four Enlightened One cultivator could not defeat a female Enlightened One cultivator from the lower realm, and instead suffered three deaths and two injuries at her hands.
"Over the years, how many people have tried to seize benefits by using Tang Qingying's name? Have you seen what happened to them?" the high priest said intentionally.
Upon hearing this, Ji Ying's heart tightened.
He knew, of course, that those who tried to use Tang Qingying's name for personal gain would ultimately meet a tragic end.
He lowered his head, anxiously pondering how to make the high priest truly take Chu Lengyu as a threat.
