Xiao Hu really did understand Qu Jianlei. "It's in... Could it be inside Great Venerable Wu Xuan's Abode?"
"Probably," the Artifact Spirit emerged. "It has the aura of an Abode on it."
"But First One, can I take a look at that Abode?"
"Don't even think about it!" Qu Jianlei refused without hesitation. "I only have two Abodes in total. Losing one would be no big deal, but I can't lose them all."
"I might not even be able to devour it," the Artifact Spirit muttered. "Abodes have different rules from one another."
Qu Jianlei trusted that completely, because Jiao Daoren had said the same thing.
If Abodes could devour one another without restraint, wouldn't the entire Cultivation World descend into chaos? Jiao Daoren was only in the Nascent Soul Realm, but the Beast Taming Sect had deep foundations, and its inheritance of information had never been severed.
He had even said that Abodes capable of devouring other Abodes were aberrations even in the Cultivation World—existences reviled by everyone.
Anyone who dared forge such an aggressively invasive Abode would be targeted by other Great Experts themselves!
Of course, the mere possibility of danger might not stop certain Great Experts from taking the risk.
More importantly, since someone might create such an Abode, many Abodes would include corresponding defensive measures when they were forged.
However, Qu Jianlei had not released High-Fidelity Replica at this moment to show off that he still had another Abode.
He looked at the Artifact Spirit. "It's managing a tiny Portable Abode and doesn't have a very good grasp of it yet. Teach it a few things."
"What, is there a problem?"
"Of course not." The Artifact Spirit knew High-Fidelity Replica's origins all too well—it was the consciousness that had been born anew from that damaged Spirit
