"Are you bluffing me?" Bai Ye said, "Penglai and Fanghu, I haven't been there, but I've been to Yingzhou. Although it's said to be one of the three major holy lands in the hearts of the chosen ones in the cultivation world, isn't it just a broken island?"
"You're talking about Yingzhou in the cultivation world," Li Jia said, "I'm talking about Yingzhou."
Bai Ye asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Li Jia asked, "Do you know the meaning of these three places?"
Bai Ye said, "The three immortal islands overseas, where immortals live."
"That's right, you also know where immortals live," Li Jia said with a smile, "Have you ever thought that after thousands of years, immortals will still be immortals? Will they still be in flowing robes, appearing detached from the mortal world?"
Bai Ye asked in confusion, "Hmm?"
Li Jia said, "In short, the Penglai, Fanghu, and Yingzhou I'm talking about are not the same places as you imagine. As for whether you can find them, it depends on your abilities. For now, I can only say this much."
Bai Ye was silent for a moment, then said, "Since you've said it to this extent, let me ask you one more thing, who exactly are you?"
Li Jia said, "An ordinary chosen one."
Bai Ye sneered, "An ordinary chosen one wouldn't know so much. Moreover, based on the information you've revealed, this has gone beyond the scope of 'intelligence.' You clearly know some secrets about the world battlefield."
Li Jia said, "Alright, actually, I'm also a Divine Disciple."
Bai Ye sneered again, trying to fool a ghost.
"See, you don't have to force me to say it. If I say it, you won't believe it," Li Jia said, "We don't have trust between us to begin with. No matter what I say, you'll only believe three parts, and the remaining seven parts will be suspicion. So, why continue?"
"I can only say that I can swear. I've said everything I can. Anything I can't say, you can ask all you want. This time, let's call it a draw. Let's just leave this damned place safely. Anyway, you've benefited, and the reward for this wish mission is yours."
"Also, we really shouldn't meet again. I'm afraid of you, okay?"
Bai Ye said, "I always thought you were lingering around me."
"I must be out of my mind to linger around you," Li Jia cursed, then said, "That's it. I hope we never meet again."
Beep, beep, beep...
After Li Jia finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Bai Ye's reply.
Bai Ye looked at the Den Den Mushi, then sat back on the sofa, resting his chin in his hand and pondering.
Although Li Jia's words were ambiguous, they did reveal some clear information.
However, it was unclear whether Li Jia did it intentionally or out of caution, which was why he didn't state things directly.
The first question, although it was a question, following Li Jia's line of thought, it was unclear who created the world battlefield, but it was obvious that the gods might not be the rulers, but participants.
This line of thought was quite astonishing.
In everyone's consciousness, gods were always high and mighty. To make gods participants would mean there was something above the gods.
What was above the gods?
Secondly, if the gods were participants, what role did they play?
Thus, it led to the second question raised by Li Jia.
Chosen ones? Bai Ye felt it wasn't that simple. They could resurrect dead chosen ones to serve them, and this ability was not something that could be obtained through normal means.
Therefore, if gods were superior to the chosen ones, who was superior to the gods?
Furthermore, there was Li Jia himself!
Bai Ye felt that he had to re-evaluate the other party.
In Bai Ye's perception, Li Jia was a dangerous individual. Among the chosen ones, his current strength was definitely in the top tier. If there were no accidents, he would surely play a part in the future central region war.
At the same time, the two of them had a grudge, and their conflicts were not just once or twice.
Therefore, as someone with a grudge and a potential future strong enemy, it was natural to eliminate him if possible.
But it was only that.
However, Bai Ye now realized that Li Jia seemed to know quite a lot of things.
A master could explore more areas and know more things.
However, the "things" Li Jia mentioned had gone beyond this scope.
Bai Ye, with his "do-over" bug, didn't know as much as Li Jia. Was this reasonable?
Therefore, what Li Jia knew had nothing to do with his strength.
It should be his identity!
Bai Ye muttered, "What is this guy's identity?"
Divine Disciple?
Bai Ye shook his head. This answer sounded like nonsense. If Li Jia were a Divine Disciple, he would have attacked him immediately. How could he have fought with Situ Chicheng?
Suddenly, Bai Ye had an inspiration, stood up abruptly, took three apples from the fruit plate, and arranged them in a triangle.
Many people believed that the world battlefield was directly related to the gods.
However, according to Li Jia's theory of doubt, the world battlefield was not directly related to the gods, or if it was related, there was still an existence above the gods that could suppress them.
Therefore, the world battlefield was not comprised of two factions, but rather three: the world battlefield, the gods, and the chosen ones.
Bai Ye could not yet determine the role played by the chosen ones.
Divine Disciples belonged to the side of the gods.
The last faction was the world battlefield, and Li Jia...
Bai Ye muttered, "Is this guy actually on the side of the world battlefield?"
Bai Ye felt that this possibility was not nonexistent, but it also felt a bit far-fetched.
To put it bluntly, everything about the chosen ones was granted by the world battlefield. If Li Jia represented the world battlefield, he should be an omniscient and omnipotent existence, right?
Then, this omniscient and omnipotent existence had been beaten by him, and not just once?
Bai Ye tapped his forehead with his hand, feeling a headache.
As he pondered this matter, it seemed to be clarifying, but it also felt increasingly muddled.
"Penglai, Fanghu, Yingzhou..."
In his previous life, Bai Ye had been to Yingzhou, a cultivation area located on an immortal island overseas.
Bai Ye even knew that there were four forbidden zones in that place, three on the island and one in the sea. These four forbidden zones could produce two golden-quality magic treasures, one red-quality magic treasure, and one red-quality flying sword.
Moreover, Bai Ye knew of two hidden quests there that could randomly yield immortal artifacts of golden quality.
It was a very high-level cultivation area, and it was likely that no one could enter it now.
However, Li Jia's implication was that the Yingzhou he went to was clearly not right.
So, was there a second Yingzhou? Or, did Yingzhou exist in areas outside the cultivation regions?
Bai Ye leaned back on the sofa again, wondering if he should find someone from the Evil Spirit Group to inquire about these three places.
