Wanderer of the whirling world

When Xin Ziqiu heard this, he couldn't help being slightly stunned.

Because Zhu Cixiang's words were tantamount to confessing to him his identity as a wandering world traveler.

This Ninth Five Supreme Being, the Emperor of Heaven, was so straightforward, which was somewhat beyond Xin Ziqiu's expectations.

But the more Zhu Cixiang got straight to the point, the more vigilant he became, subconsciously spreading his consciousness like tentacles, scanning every corner around him just in case.

Zhu Cihong seemed to see Xin Ziqiu's worry and said calmly:

"You don't need to be so nervous. Even if you have extraordinary strength, you are only a mid-level practitioner at most. If I want to deal with you, there are many ways. There is no need to go to all the trouble to ask Zong Jing to transfer you from Tiantiansi. And this is a special place, protected by the rules of the Floating Life Realm, so our conversation is very safe. No one can spy on you and me, let alone in this imperial city, even in the entire whirling world."

He thought for a while and added:

"Moreover, I am deeply rooted in the realm of floating life, and there is no conflict of interest between me and you practitioners. You don't have to have any scruples, just speak freely."

Xin Ziqiu smiled when he heard this, but he did not dare to let down his guard at all. Instead, he was as tense as a bowstring.

He knew very well that he was in a tiger's den. If he was not careful, the good situation he had finally won would come to naught, and all his previous efforts would be wasted.

"Since Your Majesty knows about the trials of the Floating Life Realm and also knows about the practitioners in the Wandering World, I would like to ask about His Majesty's identity. I have heard someone say that Your Majesty may be the high-level practitioner Lu Fu who is rumored to have been dead for many years. I don't know. Is it real."

Zhu Cixiang grinned, and forced a smile on his pale face, but because of the hideous scar that penetrated his face, it looked particularly eye-catching:

"The little monk who broke into the Lama Temple guessed it and told you. Huh, that little guy does have some tricks. Where is he now?"

Xin Ziqiu blinked:

"Your Majesty hasn't answered my question yet."

Zhu Cixi smiled bitterly:

"You didn't answer me either. How about this, each of us asks a question, which is fair and reasonable?"

Xin Ziqiu nodded:

"Okay, let me answer your Majesty's first question. I don't know exactly how many people came for this floating life trial, but there are probably twenty or thirty mid-level practitioners. As for the remaining ones... well... According to the notification from the Floating Life Realm at midnight yesterday, there are eight more."

Zhu Cixiang said "hmm" thoughtfully and murmured to himself:

"There are eight people left. Even if only half of them have your fighting power, that's enough. Do you know which organizations they are practitioners of?"

Xin Ziqiu said with a smile:

"Your Majesty hasn't answered my question yet. Are you Lu Fu?"

Zhu Cixiang raised his eyebrows:

"Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you juniors. Regarding my identity, you are partly right. Although I am not Lu Fu, I have all his appearance and memories, and even part of his emotions and personality. I am his projection, so to speak.”

Xin Ziqiu was not too surprised by this answer. He was already used to all kinds of strange things in the whirling world.

However, this ambiguous and perfunctory answer did not satisfy him.

Xin Ziqiu cleared his throat and said:

"Your Majesty, can you elaborate a little more? Did you take Lu Fu's body, or was it reshaped by his destiny? Or is it something else?"

Zhu Cixi shook his head:

"I have answered your question. I have no other comment. It's not that I don't want to say more, but that you haven't been recognized by the Floating Life Realm and are not qualified to know these secrets. And to be honest, these things have nothing to do with your world. The traveler has nothing to do with it, unless..."

"Unless what?"

Zhu Cixi sneered:

"Unless you have the magical power to control your destiny. Have you heard of it? Forget it, you middle-level practitioners have probably never even seen the power of rules, so don't think about these things."

Xin Ziqiu shrugged:

"Okay, then how can I get recognized by the Floating Life Realm?"

Zhu Cihong glanced at Xin Ziqiu, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, but instead of answering his question, he asked:

"Where is that young monk? Xu Xingzi from Lingshan, right? Where is he? Can you contact him? I have something that needs your help. If you can cooperate to complete it, the benefits will be indispensable."

Xin Ziqiu ignored Zhu Cixiang's gaze and answered honestly:

"Xu Xingzi is currently imprisoned in Jian Tiansi's dungeon."

Zhu Cixiang frowned, looking slightly surprised:

"Oh? With his strength, he would be caught by Supervisor Tiansi?"

Xin Ziqiu smiled:

"It's your Majesty's turn to answer the question. I want to know, how many people like your Majesty are there in the entire floating world? I mean, how many people are surviving in the whirling world through your way of merging with high-level practitioners? "

This is his biggest concern, because if Zhu Cixiang can merge with Lu Fu, then his dead father will also have the opportunity to merge with someone in the floating world, or even the whirling world, although maybe as Zhu Cixiang said, that is not the real Xin Yuanli , but at least it is a thought and a sustenance.

Zhu Cixi thought for a while and said:

"I don't know this, but I'm definitely not the only one. I'm afraid only the masters of the floating world and the whirling world can know how many such people there are. Well, it's my turn to ask questions, since Xu Xingzi is here In the dungeon, no matter what crime he committed, I can immediately issue a decree to release him. Right now, how many travelers can you summon? I have one thing that needs your help."

Xin Ziqiu shook his head:

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Xu Xingzi has been obsessed with his mind and has become a 'heart fast'. In order not to be controlled, he forcibly closed his five senses and is now a living dead."

A look of disappointment flashed in Zhu Cixiang's eyes, and he sighed slightly:

"He turned into Shinzhai? No wonder the people from Supervisor Tiansi were able to catch him. It's a pity, it's a pity. What about the others? Besides the two of you, there are six others. How many can you contact?"

Xin Ziqiu felt a little unexpected. The great emperor of tomorrow had unfathomable strength and was rich all over the world. He also controlled Jiantiansi and Yonghe Palace. He had countless strangers and ghosts for him to control. What other things did he need them for? What about these outsiders who help?

Xin Ziqiu had to suspect that this was some kind of trap, but for him, it was probably an opportunity.

He shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty also knows that when we travelers come to the Floating Life Realm for trials, in addition to exploring the entire world, we also have to fight each other. Only the last person left can win. To be honest, we can't even avoid each other in time, so how can we possibly contact each other? What?" Zhu Cixiang smacked his lips:

"It turns out that the trial of the floating life realm has such a meaning, but I am ignorant. No wonder, Lu Fu is not a proud man like you, and has never participated in the trial of the floating life realm, so he does not know these things. In this case, the only one I can count on right now is you."

Xin Ziqiu waved his hand and said with a hint of teasing:

"Your Majesty, I am only a mid-level practitioner, and I cannot bear the burden of your old man. The Supervisor of Heaven is as strong as the clouds, and the Lama Temple is full of ghosts. You should go find them."

Zhu Cixiang has read countless people, so how could he not know Xin Ziqiu's thoughts at this time, but he is facing a huge crisis at this time, and it is hard to say, so even if he understands that the other party is waiting for a price at this time, he has no choice but to find a way to invest. Its good.

He sat up slightly:

"You seem to be very interested in my identity?"

Xin Ziqiu was noncommittal:

"I am very interested in everything about the Whirlpool World. There are rumors that many practitioners who should have died are living in the Whirlwind World in some form. I was a little skeptical at first. Now that I have met Your Majesty, I believe these rumors. it is true."

Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly:

"These are not things that a mere mid-level traveler would dare to worry about. Hmm... let me guess, do you have a relative or a friend who died in the world? Do you want to know if they are still alive?"

Xin Ziqiu tried his best to hide it, but the secret was still exposed by a word. While his heart was shocked, he had to admire the great emperor's ability to see into people's hearts.

Sure enough, Zhu Cixiang could become the king of a country and govern thousands of miles of land, not just by relying on his strong strength as a high-level practitioner, but also by his deeper understanding of the art of emperors and the way of knowing people.

However, Xin Ziqiu's current identity is Xiao Zizai, and all the cause and effect will naturally be borne by the fat man in Lingxiao Palace. He has no scruples. Although his concerns were pointed out, he just smiled lightly:

"Your Majesty is indeed very sharp-eyed, but I'm afraid he doesn't have the answer to what I want to know."

A glimmer of light flashed in Zhu Cixiang's eyes:

"That's not necessarily the case. I can tell you right now that people cannot be resurrected after death. This is the iron law of the floating world and the whirling world. Even if part of their memories and strength are fused with someone like me, they will never be the same person again. And I advise you to give up on this idea as soon as possible. No matter what you are thinking about is your relatives or friends, as long as you know this, it means that your memory and body have been deprived. In fact, it is better to die directly. "

"What do you mean?"

"You have not been recognized by the Floating Life Realm, and I can only tell you so much. If you want to know the truth, you can only go to the core of the Floating Life Realm and find a way yourself."

Xin Ziqiu frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure and asked:

"What does His Majesty mean by the approval of the floating realm? How can we obtain its approval?"

Zhu Cixiang said with a smile:

"Being able to enter the core of the Floating Life Realm is considered to be recognized by the Floating Life Realm. The Floating Life Realm is one of the four secret places in the whirling world, and its core also hides countless secrets. Naturally, not all practitioners are qualified to understand and Exploring. Even the most powerful may not be able to see its full picture."

Xin Ziqiu nodded:

"If I win this trial, I will have the right to enter the core of the Floating Life Realm, and I will be recognized. I wonder if your Majesty can tell the truth then?"

Zhu Cixi moved his body slightly and said slowly:

"If you want to get the core of entering the floating realm, this may not be the only way. How about we make a deal?"

Xin Ziqiu was very interested. He knew that this was the real reason why Zhu Cixiang summoned him.

"What deal?"

he asked.

Zhu Cixiang gently rubbed the jade ring on his thumb with his hand and said slowly:

"From now on, you need to stay by my side until midnight tomorrow. As long as I don't die within these twenty hours, I can teach you how to go directly to the core of the Floating Life Realm."

"what?!"

Xin Ziqiu took a breath of cold air, and his surprise was palpable. This was the first time he had lost his composure since he came to Zhu Cixiang.

This guy actually has a way to directly enter the core of the floating realm?

Moreover, this condition seems too simple.

Even without Xin Ziqiu's protection, with Zhu Cixiang's ability as a high-level practitioner, and the many powerful people in Jian Tiansi and Yonghe Palace, who could hurt him in this mere fifth-level world?

Zhu Cixi seemed to have expected such a reaction from him. He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly:

"You heard it right, I have a way to let you enter the core of the floating life realm. Isn't this what you trialists dream of? There, all the secrets you want to know will be answered, and there are countless more. Treasures and powerful magical powers are at your disposal, and you may even have the opportunity to meet the real master of the floating realm. At that time, you don’t need to ask me for information at all, because you will know far better than I do.”

Seeing that Xin Ziqiu was silent for a while, Zhu Cixiang spoke again:

"What? Don't you believe it? I am the emperor, how can I still deceive you?"

Xin Ziqiu was silent for a moment and then said:

"Your Majesty, have you ever been to the core of the Floating Life Realm?"

There is such a good way, why don’t you use it yourself?

Zhu Cihong had already guessed that Xin Ziqiu would ask this question:

"This secret passage leading to the Floating Life Realm is only valid for travelers. Even if I know how to open the passage, I can't go and explore it myself. Moreover, the more I know, the greater the risk. I will settle here for a while, and I will not be interested in others. He didn't dare to ask for anything. In fact, before Lu Fu died, he did briefly go to the core of the Floating Life Realm and stayed there for a while, but got nothing. This part of his memory was also completely erased. Eight, so I don’t know exactly what he went through. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Xin Ziqiu blinked:

"Your Majesty has offered such generous terms. It must be because a powerful enemy is attacking and you are in urgent need of help. But you are a high-level traveler, why do you need the protection of a mere mid-level traveler like me? Besides, the Supervisor Tiansi and the Lama Temple are full of talented people. There are so many strong men by your side, why go to all the trouble to find an outsider like me?"

Zhu Cixiang laughed sadly and said:

"Sometimes, the most loyal slave is also the most terrifying threat..."

Xin Ziqiu suddenly said:

"Your Majesty means...it is the people from Yonghe Temple and Jiantiansi who want to harm you?"
