"Fellow Daoist He, are we going or not?" Empress Tianwei looked at He Pingsheng.
He Pingsheng did not answer her question. Instead, he asked, "What do you think, Fellow Daoist Tianwei?"
Tianwei said, "Since we're already here, and now we know where the ten great Innate True Poisons are, I think we might as well go!"
"If it really is dangerous, it won't be too late to retreat then!"
He Pingsheng said nothing, merely staring at Tianwei for several breaths.
"What are you looking at me for?" Tianwei asked.
He Pingsheng said, "This is an independent Spirit Realm!"
"Although it's a small Spirit Realm, once the exit closes, it becomes a realm unto itself!"
"The cultivators of this realm can ascend!"
"But there's one thing I need to remind you of!"
Empress Tianwei said, "I'm all ears!"
He Pingsheng continued, "Our true bodies are here, while our avatars are in another Spirit Realm. If we die, the pull of the Six Paths of Reincarnation on our souls will be stronger than the pull of our avatars!"
"In other words, if we die here, our souls will enter the Underworld directly, and we'll truly be dead!"
"If we actually go there and wait until danger arrives before retreating, I'm afraid it'll already be too late!"
Empress Tianwei paled slightly. "So that's how it works? I hadn't considered that!"
"Then... you mean... we're not going?"
"We're not!" He Pingsheng shook his head and gave up outright. "This is obviously a trap!"
If Immortal Maiden Butterfly Transformation had not lied just now, the ten great True Poisons were all in the Sacred Land. Moreover, they already had an owner and were under someone's control.
Then... who was the owner of the ten great True Poisons?
Patriarch Jinku's remnant soul?
His successor?
Or someone
