Chapter 468: Even at the peak of the fifth level, there is still a gap! ( words asking for monthly votes)

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment.

Although he is able to plan and strategize many times, he is not a god who can predict the future.

Therefore, he really didn't know what Zhao Ji said.
The reason why he was certain that Shen Lingshuang's identity was not "Shangen" nor the special disaster material that "Muye" was looking for was because he had an extremely accurate grasp of human nature.

Just as he analyzed to Zhao Ji just now: If Shen Lingshuang is really the "Shan Gen", the special material in the disaster, why doesn't Mu Ye secretly kidnap Shen Lingshuang?

Wouldn't it be nice to make a fortune quietly?
After all, even if Qiu Tu is quite powerful, he is no match for a fifth-level peak evil god like him.

And now, he first made a deal with Dongyezhou, and then came in person to attack Dongcheng City. He was just short of putting a loud speaker on Qiu Tu's head to tell everyone that "Shangen" was with Qiu Tu.

By alerting the enemy in this way, you may end up getting nothing, something that could have been easily obtained.

Therefore, Qiu Tu suspected that there was fraud at the time. However, there was no way to verify it.
Fortunately, he soon had an opportunity: after the attack on East City, a rumor began to circulate among the middle-class people in various cities, saying that the special disaster material was in his possession.

Therefore, Qiu Tu immediately sent Guan Xiao to investigate from New Territories City. (Chapter 464)
No one can withstand the methods used by the Political Department.

So, within one day, Qiu Tu found out the source of the news: a clerk who had just been corrupted and fallen by Mu Ye.

And he spread this news at the instruction of his superior.

This made Qiu Tu once again confirm his thoughts: Shangen was not with him, and Muye was deliberately framing him.

After all, if all the previous events could be said to be coincidences, then Qiu Tu might have been overthinking.

Now it is too obvious that Mu Ye is actively spreading the news and gradually directing suspicion towards Qiu Tu.

It was precisely because he was sure that Shen Lingshuang was not "Shan Gen" that Qiu Tu dared to meet Zhao Ji and use the strategy of "driving the wolf to swallow the tiger".

As a result, who would have thought that before the tiger was "driven away", he unexpectedly figured out Shen Lingshuang's identity?
Thinking of this, in order to get more information, Qiu Tu did not continue to set up a character, but shook his head honestly and said, "I didn't know she only had a part of her soul."

"I usually get along with her, and I don't feel that there is anything abnormal about her."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji put her hands behind her back and said indifferently, "Didn't you find that her previous memories were incomplete or wrong?"

"This is because her soul is incomplete and her memories are fragmentary or jumpy."

"The thinking of higher beings is linear, and memory requires logic, so her brain will automatically fill in some details."

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but think of the strange details that Shen Lingshuang had always said, such as "parents didn't allow me to practice" and "ran away from home and came to the Eighth Shelter".
There are also people who can refine medicine and create catastrophic treasures, but there are always all kinds of strange side effects.
Everything seems to be right.

Seeing a hint of realization in Qiu Tu's eyes, Zhao Ji continued, "But it is indeed a bit magical that a wisp of her soul can turn into a living person again."

"This shows that there may indeed be some powerful natural treasures near Dongye Province."

"It might be the root of the mountain."

After hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu came back to his senses.

Compared to the "shan bridge", Qiu Tu actually cares more about Shen Lingshuang.

In addition to the fact that the girl had been selflessly devoting herself to him and he gradually regarded the girl as his own family, it was also because his strength was still far from level 6.

Even if he got the "Shan Gen" treasure, he would not be willing to use it. Even if he got it, he could not keep it.

Therefore, it is better to take it out for exchange of interests.

Isn’t the most satisfying thing in this world to “use your enemy’s things to bribe others”?

If he could really use an unknown "shangen" to trick Zhao Ji into killing Mu Ye, then Qiu Tu would have made a fortune.

So, thinking this way, Qiu Tu said, "So, if we can find the place where Ling Shuang was born, we can find the "root of the mountain"?"

After that, Qiu Tu asked again, "Also, how is Ling Shuang's partial soul created?"

Zhao Ji seemed to be really interested in Shen Lingshuang's affairs. So although she had a cold face, she really answered Qiu Tu's question after a brief thought.

She said, "There are many possibilities for the split soul."

"It could be active or passive."

"Actively, it may be some special way of catastrophe, which requires splitting the soul and removing the "impurities" in one's soul."

"Make your soul clearer and your potential higher."

Hearing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but ask, "Then the main soul is incomplete, right?"

Zhao Ji glanced at him coldly and said, "Have you forgotten that at the third and fourth levels, the soul will be reshaped?"

Qiu Tu heard this and a hint of realization appeared on his face. "So, it will be completed by then?"

Zhao Ji nodded coldly and continued, "It is also possible that he encountered a major crisis and was worried that he would perish. In order to preserve the hope of resurrection, he split his soul."

"But this requires a certain level of strength. At least the peak of the fourth level, or even the fifth level, is possible."

Qiu Tu thought of Shen Lingshuang's "original body" which was apparently at the peak of the fourth level, and blinked his eyes slightly.

Zhao Ji didn't notice Qiu Tu's expression and continued, "There is another possibility."

Qiu Tu responded immediately, "What's possible?"

Zhao Ji said with a serious face, "Practice by dividing the soul."

"Divide the soul and cultivate?" Qiu Tu muttered these four words.

Zhao Ji hummed and said, "This is a secret technique from the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area."

"When a living being is stuck in a realm that is difficult to break through for many years."

“He will separate his soul, allowing his soul to experience a new life, gain new insights, and walk a different path.”

"Until the time is right, or until his strength reaches a certain level, his separated soul will return to his body."

"However, this secret technique has a great drawback. Every time a soul is separated, the strength will be greatly reduced."

"Plus, the threshold for this secret technique is very high. Therefore, unless one is a master of the "Boundless Heart Sea-Core Area", ordinary catastrophic creatures, or even evil gods, cannot use it."

Hearing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, you can't do that too?"

Zhao Ji glanced at Qiu Tu coldly, then nodded and said, "I can't use it even if I advance to level 6."

"So, the first two possibilities are more likely."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly. If this secret technique has such high requirements, then the probability is indeed relatively small.

If the clues do not point clearly, it would be a waste of time to consider and verify this possibility.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu continued to ask, "What about the passive split soul?"

Zhao Ji reached out and gathered her hair that had fallen on her shoulders. Her eyes, as deep as a cold pond, showed no signs of fluctuation.

“There are more passive situations.”

"Maybe he encountered a great change and was mentally stimulated; maybe some evil gods or catastrophic creatures used mystical techniques or catastrophic abilities; maybe he took or misused some catastrophic potions or catastrophic items by mistake."

"I just thought about it and came up with seven or eight possibilities."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly, his eyes revealing deep thought.

No matter what, it is certain that Shen Lingshuang is not the "shangen" but a piece of soul fragment.

In this way, the fundamental contradiction between him and Zhao Ji is gone. What remains is to "drive away the wolf and swallow the tiger"!

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu came back to his senses, looked at Zhao Ji, and said, "Your Highness Zhao Ji."

"You have already seen the people around me. You are also sure that Shan Gen is no longer with me."

"So, you should trust Xiaola and I's loyalty to you, right?"

Zhao Ji was like a person with facial paralysis. When she heard Qiu Tu's words, her fair face did not change at all. She even did not directly answer Qiu Tu's question.

Instead, he asked, "You and Lajiro, have no interest in the "Yan Gen" at all?"

Qiu Tu had already prepared a plan when he was preparing for the "driving out the wolf and swallowing the tiger" plan.

He said, "Xiao La and I were actually interested in it at first."

"But... later, we found two problems."

Zhao Ji, "What's the problem?"

Qiu Tu, "First, we are only at the peak of the fourth level, and we are still at the pseudo-fourth level. It is far from the time when we need to use the "Shan Gen"."

"Secondly, even if we just want to waste resources and pile them up to quickly advance, we can't defeat Mu Ye."

Zhao Ji's eyes wavered slightly, as if she was thinking.

Qiu Tu knew how to strike while the iron was hot. Seeing that Zhao Ji had finally wavered, he added, "And, Your Highness."

"Actually, when we were in the East City area, there were some things I couldn't say in front of Xiaola."

"After all, it kind of betrays her."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji couldn't help but look up. Although she didn't say anything, her movements and expressions were obvious.

Qiu Tu saw this, then coughed and said in an awkward tone, "In fact, the reason why we interrupted your promotion is because of...

"Besides, this is really for your own good. I hope that after you advance to level 6, you can advance to level 7 faster."

"Because if you don't get the Shan Gen, then Mu Ye will definitely get it."

"By then, he will become the only 6th-level evil god in the "Boundless Heart Sea-Edge Area."

"Who knows what he will do then?"

Qiu Tu was indeed exaggerating the panic, but it was also the truth.

When all the 6th-order evil gods were imprisoned in the "Boundless Heart Sea-Core Area", a new 6th-order evil god could roam freely in the outer area.

Then he will become the true God of the outer area, because no one will be his opponent.

What’s more important is that this also includes Zhao Ji, who failed to advance and returned from the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area".

What’s more important is that Qiu Tu’s words actually hinted at a terrifying future.

As a fifth-order peak evil god, Zhao Ji is one of the strongest in the entire outer area.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. In order to avoid Zhao Ji, Mu Ye had even been secretly hiding his identity.

And once Mu Ye successfully advances to level 6, will he allow Zhao Ji to practice in his own territory?
And will Zhao Ji be a match for a level 6 evil god?
Sure enough, following Qiu Tu's hint, Zhao Ji's expression finally changed slightly.

Apparently, she had thought of this too.

From the moment she returned to Dongye Province and exposed her identity, it was very likely that there would be only one winner between her and Muye.

No matter who advances, the other person will either die or be expelled.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji's cold eyes sank slightly.

To be honest, she always felt something was wrong.

She felt as if Qiu Tu had been plotting against her. Qiu Tu seemed to have been pushing her to become an enemy of Mu Ye.

She didn't actually want to be an enemy of Mu Ye. But after listening to Qiu Tu's words a few times, she suddenly felt that if she didn't kill Mu Ye, it would be a bit ungrateful.

Fortunately, she never took Mu Ye seriously.

Thinking of this, she slowly said, "In this case, let's go meet Mu Ye."

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, "We? Now?"

Zhao Ji glanced at Qiu Tu calmly and asked, "What? Is there a problem?"

Qiu Tu laughed twice, "Isn't it inappropriate to bring me along when you two fifth-order peak evil gods meet?"

"And once you start fighting, I won't be able to run away with my weak arms and legs."

Zhao Ji sneered, "Are you afraid that I will fight him and hurt you?"

"Do you really think that since we are both at the peak of level 5, we have the same strength?"

A question mark slowly appeared in Qiu Tu’s head:?

"Or else?"

Zhao Ji's cold eyes were filled with pride, "We are both at the peak of the fifth level, but there is still a huge gap between us."

"He is a fifth-order peak Great Evil God because his strength is only at the fifth-order peak!"

"Although I am also at the peak of the fifth level, the highest level that the "Boundless Heart Sea-Edge Area" can accommodate is only the peak of the fifth level!"

"Kill him with just one move!"

Qiu Tu:
To be honest, Qiu Tu has seen masters and show-offs during this period of time, but there has never been anyone as pretentious as Zhao Ji who made his scalp tingle.

Even Qiu Tu was a little suspicious. He thought that Zhao Ji would try to show off but end up getting raped. Then he would be implicated.

Unfortunately, Zhao Ji obviously didn't care much about Qiu Tu's opinion.

So, after explaining a few sentences, she pointed towards Qiu Tu.

The next second, Qiu Tu felt that all the lines of the material world around him were taken away, and his world directly turned into a world composed of gray and lines.

'Force the world to turn upside down?'

Qiu Tu was surprised.

Then, before he could finish being surprised, he found himself in the desert of the "East City Area".

"follow me."

Zhao Ji's cold voice rang in his ears, and Qiu Tu looked up reflexively.

As a result, he found himself flying into the air uncontrollably, and then followed Zhao Ji towards the edge of the "East City Area".

Judging from Zhao Ji's appearance, she was actually planning to cross the regional fog and directly hunt down Mu Ye across regions!

Qiu Tu was stunned. Is this woman so fierce?
at the same time.

Outside the disaster area. Wuchao City. New Democratic Army camp, main tent.

A figure shrouded in a black robe sat on an antique chair, quietly listening to a soldier's report.

When he heard that Zhao Ji appeared again after he was forced to retreat, the expression on the black shadow's face became solemn.

'Zhao Ji? Why is she back?'

"Could it be that he failed to advance?"

"This shouldn't be the case. With her strength, she can't even advance to level 6?"

Thinking of this, Hei Ying's face was full of confusion. He thought quietly for a moment, and then thought of the news he spread in Dongye Province, and he had a slight ominous premonition in his heart.
'Isn't that woman coming for me?'

"She failed to advance, so she's not going to try to steal my 'shangen', is she?"
