Although Zheng Qilong was not particularly sharp, he was not a complete fool either.
After a little thought, he seemed to have guessed at a possibility.
Seeing his dazed expression, Su Jiu spoke first. "You must have guessed it too. You're being restricted by the power of the laws."
Zheng Qilong looked rather grim. "The power of the laws? What's that?"
Su Jiu raised an eyebrow. "What cultivation level had you reached before you died?"
"The Void Refinement Stage."
Su Jiu fell silent for a moment. He had actually been at a higher level than her...
"You reached the Void Refinement Stage without even knowing the power of the laws existed?" That was a little too absurd.
Had Zheng Qilong not worn every thought on his face, Su Jiu would probably have thought he was putting on an act.
At the same time, Su Jiu began to understand why the Heavenly Dao had chosen someone like him. He did not need much of a brain, and he was certainly easy enough to control.
"What's so strange about that? Over these past few decades, I've spent almost all my time either accumulating fortune or cultivating. Besides, I'm exceptionally talented and have incredible comprehension, so naturally I cultivated quickly. And since I devoted myself to it without distractions, isn't it perfectly normal for me not to know about miscellaneous nonsense?
"The power of the laws, or whatever it is-even without knowing what it was, didn't I still reach the Void Refinement Stage?"
After listening to that lengthy speech, Su Jiu finally lost control of her expression. The corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
Exceptionally talented? Incredible comprehension? Did he think I knew absolutely nothing about his aptitude?
"I remember that your body in the Azure Realm had a fourfold spirit root."
