419: Is it true that Master is not dead yet?
The Zu Long Grass refused to tell him what kind of great Plane existed above the Saint Plane, much like his Revered Master had Sealed his Legacy memories into ten portions, only unsealing a small part each time, and never revealing too much information about higher-level great Planes.
Thinking of his Revered Master, Long Aotian couldn't help but want to confirm something with the Zu Long Grass.
"Divine Retribution!"
After a long silence, the Zu Long Grass finally uttered two words.
"Divine Retribution?"
Long Aotian was only slightly surprised, as he had also thought of this answer.
This was the Zu Long Grass's concern!
So, was it possible that this was also his Revered Master's concern?
Long Aotian couldn't help but ask, "What would be the difference between an Immortal revealing information about a higher-level great Plane and a dying person revealing information about a higher-level great Plane?"
"...An Immortal naturally wouldn't want to reveal too much, as it would invite Divine Retribution. However, a dying person wouldn't have such concerns. When a person dies, their Dao dissipates, so what would there be to worry about?"
"...Indeed!"
Long Aotian nodded, "Is there any possibility for a Peak expert to survive after losing their Physical Body and nearing the end of their lifespan?"
"Losing their Physical Body?"
The Zu Long Grass shook its head, "There is absolutely no possibility of survival!"
"What if they don't lose their Physical Body?"
"..."
Seeing the Zu Long Grass fall silent again, Long Aotian felt a little dissatisfied. This fellow knew a lot but always liked to hide things. "This shouldn't count as leaking secrets, right?"
"Why are you asking this?"
The Zu Long Grass, however, looked wary.
It had vaguely sensed a hint of danger!
This human boy in front of it, he couldn't be thinking of using it to revive someone, could he?
At this moment, the Zu Long Grass truly didn't want to reveal any information or even discuss any knowledge with Long Aotian. It felt like it was being led into a trap by this mischievous boy, burying itself without even realizing it. It was simply terrifying for a blade of grass.
"Answer my question!"
"I don't know!"
"You truly don't know?"
Long Aotian clearly didn't believe it. The fellow's expression just now didn't look like someone who didn't know.
"I truly don't know."
The Zu Long Grass shook its head, feigning sorrow. "There are no fragrant flowers, no tall trees. I am just a small, unknown blade of grass. How could I know so much?"
"You're putting on an act for This Realm Master!"
Long Aotian couldn't help but get angry. "This Realm Master originally didn't want to stew you, letting you live well in the Inner World, but when I ask you something, you actually try to fool This Realm Master, making This Realm Master unhappy with your wishy-washy attitude.
Alright, if you don't make This Realm Master happy, then you can just wait to be stewed! You, this Immortal Elixir of a grass, must be very nourishing. It just so happens that This Realm Master's wife is pregnant and needs a lot of nourishment.
The child needs to start working hard from the womb to lay a good Foundation, doesn't it?
And This Realm Master's daughter, a child a few years old, is also at the age to shape her martial Dao Foundation."
"...Can't I just tell you?"
Hearing Long getting angrier and more serious, especially after entering the Inner World, it indeed knew that Long's wife was pregnant and his born daughter was only a few years old. Already extremely paranoid, it was instantly scared and trembled.
This big bad guy might really stew it.
"Hmph!"
Long Aotian couldn't help but straighten his face and let out a cold snort. "Then why aren't you speaking quickly?!"
This fellow, he couldn't give it a good look.
"If one doesn't lose their Physical Body, taking out the most important drop of vital blood, there should still be...a possibility of reshaping the Physical Body, equivalent to Reincarnation and Rebirth. Moreover, unlike Reincarnation and Rebirth, reshaping the Physical Body might directly restore one's Cultivation Realm to its Peak."
"The most important drop of vital blood?"
Long couldn't help but frown slightly.
He really didn't know what the most important drop of vital blood was. Among blood, vital blood was already the most important. Now there was an even more important one within vital blood. Even though he had inherited so many memories from Ao Zhan, there was no description of this aspect.
"Yes, it's heart's blood!"
Seeing that Long didn't seem to know about heart's blood, the Zu Long Grass leisurely added a remark.
"..."
Heart's blood, huh?
As Long Aotian realized, he also thought of something.
Before his Revered Master lost his Physical Body, he was able to extract ten drops of vital blood and give them to him. How could his Revered Master not extract something as important as heart's blood?
Long Aotian didn't believe this.
The only possibility was that his Revered Master had extracted the heart's blood, but the heart's blood was not on him, but on Ao Jingtain.
In other words, his Revered Master wasn't truly dead; he had placed his last chance of survival on his daughter?
Did he intend to revive through the unorthodox path of reshaping his Physical Body?
Thinking of this, Long Aotian couldn't help but look at the Zu Long Grass and ask, "How does one reshape the Physical Body?"
"..."
The Zu Long Grass's mind trembled, and it spread its leaves. "I really don't know this!"
Are you kidding? If it told him this too, it would be handing someone a knife and asking them to kill it.
"You truly don't know?"
Long Aotian looked at the Zu Long Grass, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
"I truly don't know!"
The Zu Long Grass shook its head like a rattle-drum, not daring to look at Long Aotian.
"Alright, I'll believe you for now!"
Long said calmly, "Let's take care of business first!"
He sought the Zu Long Grass precisely to add an extra possibility for the future revival of Ao Zhan. How could the Zu Long Grass itself not know its own function and value?
Possessing it meant being able to shape a Physical Body, which was equivalent to having an extra life. Which Cultivator in the Myriad Realms wouldn't covet it upon seeing it?
The Zu Long Grass's paranoia, always feeling that 'there are always villains who want to harm me,' was not without reason. Living so cautiously and carefully was also not without cause.
The whole world was its enemy!
Its Zu Long Grass's situation was even more tragic than the Wood Spirit Clan.
The Wood Spirit Clan at least had the Chaos Clan's protection.
But what about its Zu Long Grass?
Even the naturally kind Wood Spirit Clan members might not be able to resist taking action upon seeing it, let alone the big bad guy Long Aotian of the Chaos Clan.
Long Aotian knew that the Zu Long Grass hadn't told the truth, and the Zu Long Grass also knew that Long Aotian didn't necessarily believe it.
Both sides, as if neither had mentioned the matter, began to sweep through the Prairie of Mysterious Loneliness like crazy...
