What do you think?
Chi You did not answer directly, but instead asked a question in return.
"If I am not mistaken, the one before me is nothing more than a wisp of your spiritual power left in the Tiger Soul Blade!"
Li Yao smiled.
"How...how did you know?"
Chi You was quite surprised.
Indeed, the Chi You here is not the real Chi You, but merely the spiritual power left behind by Chi You.
Just like the Nanming Fire of Bai Mei, it is the spiritual power that Bai Mei left behind in Emei.
The real Chi You was still suppressed in the Demon Valley of the Second Dimension by the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor using the Xuanyuan Sword.
Ignoring Chi You's question, Li Yao continued, "You've always wanted to use the spiritual power you left in the Tiger Soul Blade to return to the mortal realm!"
"You guessed that too?"
Chi You was surprised again.
"Unfortunately, the spiritual power you left in the Tiger Soul Blade is not strong enough to allow you to break through the spatial barrier of the second space and return to the human world."
"So you ordered your subordinate, Red Corpse, to deliberately spread the word to lure Youquan to the Blood Cave."
"You want to use the Nether Spring to cultivate demonic arts through the Blood Cave and absorb the spiritual energy of the entire Shu Mountain!"
"Then you take its place and enhance your spiritual power."
"In this way, you can break through the spatial barrier and return to the human world."
"Chi You, what do you think of my speculation?"
Is it accurate?
Li Yao calmly explained Chi You's plan.
He made a reasonable deduction based on the memories of the Crimson Corpse that he had previously obtained from the Crimson Corpse's consciousness, as well as his understanding of the entire Shushan Legend world.
"Your prediction was incredibly accurate!"
Chi You's expression grew increasingly grim after hearing Li Yao's speculation.
He hadn't expected Li Yao's prediction to be so accurate, as if he knew exactly what Li Yao was thinking.
"Chi You, do you really think that by absorbing the spiritual power of the entire Shu Mountain, you can break through the spatial barrier and return to the mortal realm?"
Li Yao felt that even if Chi You's painstaking plan succeeded in obtaining the spiritual power of Mount Shu, it would not be able to break through the spatial barrier and leave the second space.
"No matter what, I will give it a try!"
Even if it's all in vain, I will not let go of any opportunity to leave the second space!
"The second space is too stuffy. I've had enough of it and don't want to stay in that awful place for another second!"
Chi You said, extremely annoyed.
Seeing Chi You's agitated appearance, Li Yao couldn't help but chuckle.
The second space of this world is like a walled city, where cultivators in the human realm are vying to ascend to the second space.
The so-called celestial beings in the second dimension yearn to return to the mortal realm.
Chapter 639 A Waste of Time
The second space in the Legend of Shushan is indeed like a huge, alluring cage.
In the human world, everyone believed that the Second Dimension was a celestial realm filled with auspicious energy and rare flowers and herbs.
Once you ascend to the second space, you can live forever and enjoy a carefree, idyllic life like an immortal.
Indeed, ascending to the second space can grant immortality.
However, the second space was extremely desolate, lacking the legendary golden light, auspicious clouds, and magnificent palaces.
All that remained was an endless expanse of desolation and an extremely thin spiritual aura.
Anyone who enters the second space will be driven mad by its lifeless atmosphere.
It's no wonder that Chi You went to great lengths and spent many years meticulously setting up this ingenious scheme, attempting to break through the spatial barrier of the second dimension and return to the human world.
Unfortunately, Chi You's meticulously planned conspiracy was exposed by Li Yao in an instant.
"Chi You, I advise you not to waste your energy!"
"Based on my understanding of the Second Space, even if you obtained the spiritual power of the entire Shu Mountain, you would not be able to break through the spatial barrier."
Li Yao said calmly.
"..."
Chi You pondered for a while.
Suddenly, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he said, "How about we make a deal?"
"What transaction?"
Li Yao asked.
"As long as you help me leave that hellish place, we can join forces to wipe out all the cultivation sects and unify the world."
"After we have pacified the world, I will share the world with you and we will share wealth and honor."
"At that time, you will have all kinds of beautiful women and countless treasures of gold and silver. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Chi You used his silver tongue to paint a huge pie in the sky for Li Yao.
Little did Chi You know that Li Yao had traversed countless heavens and worlds, seen all kinds of beauty, possessed all kinds of wealth, and even held supreme power on several occasions.
Li Yao had long been immune to beauty, wealth, and power.
In the world of Chinese Paladin, even the Lord of the God Realm was never tempted by Li Yao.
Therefore, Chi You's attempt to tempt Li Yao with beauty, wealth, and power was like trying to tempt an emperor who had already tasted all the delicacies in the world with rare and exquisite food—it was utterly useless.
Do you think I'd be interested in what I'm saying to you?
"If I want to conquer the world, possess beautiful women, and amass wealth, do I need to join forces with you?"
"I alone can turn the world upside down and control the entire Three Realms!"
Li Yao said calmly.
Although his tone was extremely calm, it exuded an incredibly strong sense of confidence.
With the strength he has accumulated over the years, he can sweep across the Three Realms and become the ruler of the Three Realms simply by relying on the army of spirit beasts he has cultivated for many years.
"How arrogant!"
"Since you refuse to cooperate with me, then don't blame me for turning ruthless!"
Chi You's eyes were cold.
A sharp killing intent emanated from him, making people feel suffocated.
"how?"
"You intend to attack me?"
Li Yao sneered.
"Since you refuse to cooperate with me, you are my enemy!"
"Moreover, since you already know my secret, I have no way of letting you continue to live in this world!"
A sinister killing intent flashed in Chi You's eyes.
"I advise you to carefully consider your own strength before making this decision!"
Li Yao remained calm and composed.
"Hahaha... This is the world of the Tiger Soul Blade, completely under my control."
"From the moment you entered this world, you were destined to be at my mercy!"
Chi You burst into wild laughter, his face filled with powerful confidence.
"Don't you think that if I didn't have the ability, would I have entered this place so easily?"
Li Yao gave Chi You a reminder.
Unfortunately, Chi You was quite arrogant and conceited. He felt that Li Yao was just meat on his chopping board, and he could chop him up however he wanted.
"Hahaha... I'll see what you're capable of!"
Chi You laughed loudly for a while.
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression hardened, and he shouted, "White Tiger, devour him for me!"
This white tiger was a ferocious beast he discovered in ancient times. It was extremely cruel, craved human flesh, and could even dissolve bones by swallowing skin.
He was overjoyed to discover that the white tiger could control the metal element.
After a fierce and bloody battle, he finally subdued the white tiger.
Then, he kept feeding himself with people. After the white tiger devoured thousands of people, it accumulated endless resentment.
Finally, he killed the white tiger, devoured its essence, and extracted its soul, refining it into his battle blade to become its weapon spirit.
This battle sword is now known as the Tiger Soul Blade.
The white tiger that Li Yao sees now is the spirit of the white tiger!
roar!
The white tiger roared wildly, thunder rumbled, and a terrifying aura swept towards Li Yao.
Just as the white tiger was about to pounce on Li Yao, Li Yao suddenly transformed into a golden light.
The next moment, accompanied by a roar of a dragon, Li Yao's primordial spirit transformed into a golden dragon, circling in the sky.
"A golden dragon?!"
