"They couldn't pull it off. That's their problem, not mine!"
Mo Bai said only that, then picked up the Emerald Bead from the box.
"Is this the Imperial Tutor's Relic?"
"Yes!"
"If we gather five of these, can we revive the Imperial Tutor?"
"That's right. But you could also choose to refine it. It contains a portion of the Imperial Tutor's True Spirit."
"Refine his True Spirit, and you'll gain his wisdom."
"Across All Heavens, plenty of people would love to have the Imperial Tutor's wisdom."
At that, Mo Bai glanced sidelong at Nine-Headed Xiang Liu, then walked away without looking back.
To Mo Bai, the fact that Nine-Headed Xiang Liu would even discuss such a thing with him was an insult.
"Hey, don't leave so fast!"
"The other Array Cores haven't been activated yet. Even if we're only putting on a show, we still have to go through the motions."
Mo Bai stopped and turned his head slightly.
"One more question. If we activated all six Array Cores by the book, how would this end?"
"Once all six were activated, I'd seal my cultivation and fight you myself."
"I'd keep my realm around First Grade Immortal King. Whether you survived would depend on how hard you were to kill."
"And what if a Quasi-Emperor descended?"
"Hahaha!"
Nine-Headed Xiang Liu laughed at Mo Bai's question.
"Before the Bitter Sea Emperor Realm System existed, Quasi-Emperors were called Heavenly Emperors."
"I've killed and eaten powerhouses like that. A few more wouldn't trouble me."
"Why else would he have sent me to guard this place?"
Mo Bai said nothing more. He simply walked straight out of the cave.
In the void.
Stars trembled as two figures clashed again and again.
The puppet held a Fishing Rod, yet wielded it with supreme swordsmanship.
