Chapter 5061 — A Few Questions
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
"Yes, yes! Whatever you wish to know, Senior, this humble one will surely tell all he knows and say all he can." Fei Yangnian was overjoyed. He did not care in the least whether he was divulging intelligence; so long as he could stay alive, everything else was irrelevant.
"Very good. First question: where do you come from?" Wei Zhao asked, betraying no emotion.
"We come from the Ancient Little Jianghu—specifically, the Shennongjia region. There's a teleportation formation there that serves as the Ancient Passage, but that place can only last one year; after a year it closes." Fei Yangnian indeed behaved very honestly.
Wei Zhao gave a slight nod. This answer had actually been given by Leng Leng before, only she had spoken hastily at the time and left him bewildered. Now, hearing Fei Yangnian say it, he finally had a real grasp of the concept.
So the Ancient Little Jianghu could only be reached through a teleportation formation—no wonder the mortal world had never discovered it, and no wonder Leng Leng said she could only stay one year. Once the teleportation formation closed after a year, she certainly could not continue lingering in the mortal world.
"Second question: what are you doing in the mortal world?" Wei Zhao continued. This was also the question he had most wanted to clarify before; had it not been for this, he would never have gone to such lengths to approach Leng Leng, and none of the present series of events would have happened.
"Uh, it's because of the millennium-old sect trial of the Ancient era. Every sect in the Ancient Little Jianghu sends Foundation Establishment disciples into the mortal world for training, and at the same time to find new disciples for their sects. Though the mortal world's spiritual energy is thin, its population is vast—who knows, there might be a cultivation prodigy with a one-in-ten-thousand spiritual root aptitude." Eager to please Wei Zhao and preserve his life, Fei Yangnian poured out everything he knew in one go, holding nothing back.
Wei Zhao watched his expression closely and knew the creature was not lying. He felt relieved. Since these people had only come out for training and incidentally to seek new disciples, they were not deliberately trying to disrupt the rules of the mortal world. Though there would inevitably be rule-breaking sorts like Sun Baimei, so long as it was not an all-out conflict, matters could still be discussed.
"Third question: how many of you are there in total, and what is the highest cultivation realm among you?" Wei Zhao continued.
"About sixty or seventy. As for the strongest, I'm not too clear, but I've heard it's likely Foundation Establishment Great Perfection. At least several sects' lead disciples are Foundation Establishment Great Perfection experts—that much is certain. These are all disciples who came out for training. As for training disciples stronger than that, maybe there are, maybe not, but they've certainly not been made public." Fei Yangnian answered cautiously.
In the end, he was only an ordinary disciple. All he could know was this sort of widely known, surface-level information; as for deeper inside information, he had no way of learning it.
"Foundation Establishment Great Perfection..." Wei Zhao frowned slightly. Although his current primordial spirit body's strength could not really fight above its level, if it was only Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, he should still be able to handle it. But if it came to a Golden Core expert, that was another matter—after all, there was a fundamental gap between the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment stages, and in his current state it would not be so easy.
