"You, do you want power?"
Hearing this, Jiang Lin, who was in a semi-conscious state, was startled.
Although he had anticipated it after hearing Number One's various speculations earlier, he still felt a jolt when he actually heard the question.
Is Number One...
Going to help humans establish themselves?
Where did he get such great ability?
No, he has it!
Jiang Lin could see everything that Number One saw.
If Number One truly wanted to try, it was absolutely possible!
As Jiang Lin was thinking, the scene before him suddenly became hazy.
His head started to feel dizzy.
The surrounding sounds came and went, echoing within the mountain.
It was as if... a dream was about to end.
...
"If you want to go up the mountain, what do you do if there's no path?"
"Then find a path yourself."
"Energy gets blocked in the body because you can't find a suitable path."
"There are so many meridians and acupoints in the human body, as long as you find a path that can adapt and absorb energy..."
"...gain power... cannot..."
...
Later, the voices grew more distant and blurred.
Immediately after, there was a flash of bright light.
What appeared before Jiang Lin was the wall of the advanced training room.
And a pile of Yin energy slowly floating in the corner.
Because the Yin energy was too dense, it looked dark at first glance.
"Did the scenes brought by those three wisps of gray gas end..."
Jiang Lin came back to his senses, his pupils gradually focusing.
"The first time I fused divine power and ghost energy, there were also scenes, but they were very short."
"So, does the duration of these scenes relate to the amount of gray gas?"
If that were the case,
Then if he wanted to know what happened later, he would have to continue fusing more power.
Did Number One succeed later?
Did the human slaves open up a method of cultivation?
"What era was that... why did Number One have such a powerful physique?"
He fell from a high altitude and was unharmed.
He could see through the meridians and energy flow of humans and monsters.
He could also resist the erosion of red crystals.
And finally, he even boasted of opening a path of cultivation for humans!
Such ability, such confidence.
What was Number One's identity?
Jiang Lin murmured, "Was he a genius from a major clan? Speaking of which, was that guy human?"
But the people from that place couldn't even be called human.
It meant that no powerful individuals had appeared.
Otherwise, they would have vindicated the human slaves long ago.
Could it be...
From some hidden family? His first time out for training?
Thinking about it this way, it was possible.
After all, the first time Jiang Lin saw Number One, he was falling from the sky.
With that thought, Jiang Lin crossed his arms.
"..."
What should I do, I really want to see how Number One opened the path of human cultivation.
If the place where Number One was located was the same world as Jiang Lin,
And if he succeeded in the end.
Then wouldn't Number One be the ancestor who opened the prosperous era of humanity?
And wouldn't the ghosts and immortals that came later also have evolved from humans?
Thinking about it this way, Number One's role in the Three Realms would be immense.
It could almost be said that he was the ancestor of the Three Realms.
For such an antique figure, no one would not be curious.
Jiang Lin was no exception.
As he thought, his thoughts gradually drifted.
From Jiang Lin's ascension, to the semi-divine, semi-demon era of the little mute, and now to Number One...
"If I fuse more ghost energy and divine power... will I be able to see how the Underworld and the Heavenly Palace were established in the future?"
This day,
Jiang Lin finally understood the feeling of viewers chasing novels and comics, suddenly seeing the "shit yellow" update button.
There was a reason why they wanted to send him razor blades.
Now he wanted to repeatedly watch the gray gas, to see if there were any more scenes that would drop.
...
By the time Jiang Lin came out of the advanced training room, it was already a day later.
He went to the front desk, preparing to settle the fees for this session.
But as soon as he looked up, Jiang Lin froze.
The front desk was at the entrance and exit of the training room, and at this moment, two figures were standing there.
One was the aura of a training room staff member, and the other was... the King of Hell from the Southern Palace?
Would the King of Hell also come to such a training room to cultivate?
Should he go directly to settle the bill, or should he say hello first?
As Jiang Lin rubbed his eyes, still hesitating, the King of Hell over there took two steps forward and walked over.
He asked, "What were you cultivating just now?"
Jiang Lin blinked and instinctively replied, "Cultivating ghost energy..."
Nan Ming sized up Jiang Lin and asked, "Which training room were you in just now?"
Just a day ago, Nan Ming had returned to his resting place and felt that terrifying aura again.
And it had appeared twice in succession!
His intuition told him that it came from the advanced training room!
But he couldn't get any more precise information.
If he hadn't been afraid of directly intruding and affecting the cultivation of the ghost officers, he would have rushed in to find them.
Jiang Lin raised the room card in his hand and replied carefully, "Room 2 on the third floor."
He was wondering in his heart, why was the King of Hell asking this?
Did he want him to recommend which training room was good?
Nan Ming responded with a sound, his gaze fixed on Jiang Lin's eyes, and suddenly changed the subject, "Is there something wrong with your eyes?"
Jiang Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he casually said:
"There was a slight mishap during cultivation just now, but it's not a big problem."
As he was speaking, another ghost officer emerged from behind Jiang Lin.
"Alright, you can go about your business."
Nan Ming said, then bypassed Jiang Lin and went to the ghost officer.
He asked the exact same question: "What were you cultivating just now?"
"Ah?"
Hearing Nan Ming's question, the ghost officer was also stunned.
Three question marks appeared in his mind.
Who am I, where am I?
No, why is the King of Hell from the Southern Palace looking for me?
What am I cultivating?
As a ghost, what else could one cultivate in a training room?
...
Meanwhile, Jiang Lin, seeing that he was no longer needed,
Went to the equally stunned front desk staff and paid the fees for the training room.
Then, he quickly left the advanced training room.
Heading towards the Eighteenth Palace.
On the way, various ghosts and monsters came and went.
Jiang Lin tried his best not to make any unusual movements.
When acquaintances, ghost officers, greeted him, he just responded casually.
Using the excuse of having something to do, he quickly left.
Before long, he arrived at the entrance of the Eighteenth Palace.
"Captain, hello."
"Captain, hello."
The gatekeepers, Duo Baobao and Niu Xiaoguo, greeted him.
They stood straight, their voices loud and clear.
Looking at Jiang Lin, they didn't notice anything amiss.
Jiang Lin nodded and zipped inside.
As soon as he entered, he "saw" a black figure emerge from the lotus pond behind them.
It seemed to have just finished cultivating.
Jiang Lin said, "Xu Nan."
"Captain Jiang, you're back?" Xu Nan said with surprise.
When he and the mechanical ball returned after completing their mission, the arena exchange with the King of Hell from the Southern Palace had already ended.
He heard that Captain Jiang had also sparred with the King of Hell from the Southern Palace, and he wanted to hear Captain Jiang's thoughts.
Xu Nan was about to ask, but before he could speak,
He saw Captain Jiang suddenly walk forward and then ask a very strange question:
"Xu Nan, look at me today, is there anything different?"
...
