“Do you know what you’re saying?”
“Break free from this cage, go wherever you want, eat whatever you want.”
Qian Duoduo looked directly at Ju Leng.
“Young man. Do you know what you’re saying?”
Ju Leng moved his neck.
“If Senior is not interested, then forget it.”
Qian Duoduo turned around and walked out.
“Does Refining Spirit Sect have Heavenly Human Cultivators?”
Ju Leng spoke from behind.
Qian Duoduo stopped and shook his head.
“Little friend, there’s a saying, below Heavenly Human, all are ants. Have you heard of it?”
Qian Duoduo turned around and looked into Ju Leng’s eyes.
“Just because it’s not today doesn’t mean it won’t be tomorrow. I just want to know if Senior wants to or not.”
“I want to! Why wouldn’t I?”
The light in Ju Leng’s eyes ignited.
“I look forward to the day Little friend becomes a Heavenly Human Cultivator.”
“What if it’s now?”
Qian Duoduo released his mind, allowing Liu Boli to control Qian Duoduo’s body.
Qian Duoduo’s Qi began to surge.
It instantly rose from Foundation Establishment Initial Stage to Middle Stage, then to Late Stage, Great Perfection, and then jumped to Early Stage Golden Core, Middle Stage, Late Stage, Great Perfection.
Ju Leng’s pupils contracted more and more, shrinking to a needle point.
In shock, Qian Duoduo’s body trembled slightly, reaching Nascent Soul Initial Stage, from Initial Stage to Middle Stage, and from Middle Stage into Late Stage.
Ju Leng’s head lifted.
The Qi on Qian Duoduo’s body did not stop rising, going from Nascent Soul Late Stage to Nascent Soul Great Perfection.
With a “hum,” it then advanced from Nascent Soul Great Perfection to Heavenly Human Initial Stage.
The Heavenly Human Initial Stage Qi emanated, immediately making Ju Leng docile.
Ju Leng nodded solemnly to Qian Duoduo.
“Hello, Fellow Daoist!”
His Spiritual Awareness touched Liu Boli’s Spiritual Awareness, knowing that Liu Boli was a powerful Cultivator hidden within Qian Duoduo’s body.
Liu Boli retracted his Qi, Qian Duoduo regained control of his body, returning to the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage Realm, and said, “Please tell me your story, Senior.”
Ju Leng used his Spiritual Awareness to make the Snake Messenger nearby leave.
While it was still hesitating, Qian Duoduo set up several shielding Formations around them.
“We are from Middle Road—Fa Lu Sect.”
Ju Leng swallowed, speaking softly with his Spiritual Awareness.
He couldn’t help but look upwards, as if something he feared was monitoring him from there.
“We’ve been here for tens of thousands of years.”
After a while, Ju Leng continued, “This underground cave world, filled with Formations, is our cage.”
“What!” Qian Duoduo could no longer remain calm, asking in shock, “The purpose of sending you here?”
“To monitor you.”
“Why monitor us?”
“Afraid of you becoming powerful.”
“Afraid of us becoming powerful?”
“If you become powerful, you can wage war, and after defeating Fa Lu Sect, you can replace them.”
Ju Leng’s words opened a window in Qian Duoduo’s mind.
So it could be like this.
“What about Fa Lu Sect’s stance on Ba Ling Sect and Shengling Sect?”
“The same. Once the Sects on the Lower Road become powerful, they will pose a threat to the Sects on the Middle Road. According to the rules set by the Upper Road, they can all be replaced.”
Qian Duoduo suddenly understood: No wonder Refining Spirit Sect, Ba Ling Sect, and Shengling Sect hated each other so much; everyone was competing for the chance to advance to the Middle Road.
Then he thought again, if those sent to the underground cave by the Middle Road were all Nascent Soul Great Perfection, how weak could that Sect’s strength be?
“Senior, what is the strongest Cultivator’s Realm in the Middle Road?”
“Heavenly Human Realm.”
Ju Leng couldn’t help but look upwards again, “Every so often, perhaps a few years, or a few months, a Heavenly Human-level Spiritual Awareness will descend here to check on Refining Spirit Sect’s situation.”
As he spoke, his massive body trembled.
“I feel that with just one thought, he could make me vanish into thin air.”
Ju Leng took a deep breath, finally making up his mind, and said to Qian Duoduo with his Spiritual Awareness:
“However, as long as Fellow Daoist promises us freedom, I, Ju Leng, am willing to stand on Fellow Daoist’s side!”
“No!” Qian Duoduo shook his head.
