Chapter 610: Li ZhenTian
He would scoop up every single cent in front of him!
The old man had figured this out when they were in the labyrinth gathering puppets and other valuable magical beasts.
The puppet in front of Jiang Xiaobai, although not as good as the one he had broken, was still worth a fortune.
The old man was tormented every time he lost one of them.
“Pfft, you think I care?”
Jiang Xiaobai casually sat down, the sound of completed missions from the system echoed in his mind, but he paid no attention, instead grabbing a piece of roasted meat in front of him and taking a bite.
“Tell me, why am I the only one here, where are the others?”
As Jiang Xiaobai spoke, he grabbed a drink and took a sip.
Seeing his behavior, the old man’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t say much.
The reason why Jiang Xiaobai dared to act so recklessly was because he had analyzed from the old man’s conversation that this guy needed him.
If that’s the case, why bother to be polite with him?
“They are all reaping their own benefits.”
The old man sighed, “I’ll give you your benefits later, you have a lot of questions, don’t you? Ask away, I’ll tell you what I can.”
“Really?”
“Then, let me ask first, who are you, are you the owner of this Ghost Trial?”
Jiang Xiaobai asked eagerly, this was what he most wanted to know.
“Correct, you could say I am a sort of owner of these trials, I control the entire secret realm.”
The old man casually replied, “Oh, you can call me Li ZhenTian.”
“Li ZhenTian? That’s a strong name, what are you aiming at?”
Jiang Xiaobai chuckled, “Another question, what’s the relationship between this Tianxuan Continent and the Ghost Trial, what’s the purpose of its existence, why does it exist…”
After that, Jiang Xiaobai asked a lot of questions, and the old man told him what he could.
Turns out, no one knows how many years he has survived, controlling the Ghost Trial while refining a small world with it!
This world is naturally the Tianxuan Continent!
When Jiang Xiaobai learned this, he was surprised. Creating a world must be an act of a powerful being!
But the truth was, the old man wasn’t as powerful as Jiang Xiaobai had imagined. This world was entirely built upon the Ghost Abyss.
Or it would be more accurate to say, this world was derived from the Ghost Abyss, and he just finished refining it.
And then, he concealed the entire world and the Ghost Trial. Aside from those who already knew about it, hardly anyone else did.
Li ZhenTian explained that this place was a unique existence among the three thousand worlds, but didn’t clarify how so.
People from the Tianxuan Continent could only leave this world by passing the Ghost Trial. Outsiders could enter, but basically, they couldn’t leave once they came to the Tianxuan Continent!
This was a rule!
Unless some super powerful beings came, but they wouldn’t come to such a place.
After roughly understanding the overall situation, Jiang Xiaobai asked about Gu Ning and the others. In Li ZhenTian’s eyes, they were just children.
They had only used their avatars to come here, hoping to strengthen themselves using the rewards from the Ghost Trial!
But because such behavior was like cheating, Li ZhenTian deliberately increased the difficulty and trapped their avatars on the Tianxuan Continent.
At first, he simply wanted to have a little fun with them, but that changed when an anomaly occurred on Ziwei Star, and he began to use them for his planning.
However, he still wouldn’t divulge the exact reason.
Jiang Xiaobai learned a lot from the subsequent discussions. This conversation had broadened his horizons!
He learned many things he didn’t know before and became curious about the world beyond the Tianxuan Continent.
“Do you have any other questions?” Li ZhenTian asked indifferently.
“One more, you seem to know about my Purple Sky Divine Soul, how can you tell?” Jiang Xiaobai was stunned.
“Hehe, not me, it’s this trial that could tell.”
Li ZhenTian gave a mysterious smile, “Well, your strength is still rubbish, it’s useless knowing too much. When you become a true strong one someday, come find me again.”
“Don’t worry, that day will come soon, and you’ll surely come looking for me again.”
His words were ambiguous and confusing, Jiang Xiaobai rolled his eyes, not wanting to bother.
“Last question!”
“How much is your puppet worth? Tell me the price, otherwise, I might sell it for nothing.”
Jiang Xiaobai grinned, revealing a greedy expression.
Li ZhenTian’s eyelids twitched, but he managed a helpless smile, “It’s worth a lot, but few people can recognize its value. If you want to sell it for resources, why not give it back to me? The benefits I can offer are unimaginable.”
For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai was indeed considering giving the puppet back to Li ZhenTian. After all, it was useless to him and it would be nice to exchange it for resources.
But then he felt something was wrong. This old man must be trying to trick him!
This thing has to be really powerful.
“No need, I can handle the resources myself, you don’t have to worry.”
Jiang Xiaobai made up his mind, this thing, was his to keep!
When the system upgrade is complete, he might be able to get some information from it.
Seeing this, Li ZhenTian was so pissed off he didn’t say another word. Deep down, he was underestimating how cunning and sly Jiang Xiaobai was.
There wasn’t much left to talk about between the two of them. Jiang Xiaobai felt the scene before him change, and he appeared in a mysterious black and purple space.
The moment he appeared, tons of black purple gas poured into his body from afar, continuously refining his strength, while also affecting his Purple Sky strength!
Jiang Xiaobai only felt a discomfort in his abdomen, but his strength was soaring rapidly!
Not only that, his realm was also improving!
Peak of the Late Fusion Stage, the great pinnacle!
In the end, he did not break through to the Tribulation Period. After about three or four hours, the reward for this trial ended!
Then, a storage ring appeared in front of him, containing a million medium-grade spirit stones and twenty black stones with starlight points.
“World original stone?”
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai was surprised. This was also the reward for completing his challenge task.
He wanted to ask Li ZhenTian about the use of this thing when he realized he was being expelled.
During this process, however, he heard the old man’s voice in his ear.
“When you leave, don’t use your thunderbolt method rashly, some people are eyeing it, it’s better to be cautious.”
Jiang Xiaobai understood the importance of his warning.
Void Thunder was not to be trifled with.
Next, the scene before him flickered and he found himself outside the pyramid of the Ghost Trial.
