"Heretic …"
Zhou Bai looked at his old friend sleeping on the bed, a myriad of thoughts running through his mind.
Originally, Zhou Bai had thought of not communicating with Heretic at all. He would leave Heretic in the Brightmoon Manor after reading Talk of the Four Seas. He might take Heretic with him when he left Central City.
However, after reading Talk of the Four Seas and learning that Primordial Dao Scripture 08 was hidden in the Zuo family's treasury, Zhou Bai knew that he had to communicate with Heretic.
"Heretical Dao is too weak right now. He's my friend, and it's a little cruel … but he doesn't have the right to know the truth, because he doesn't have the strength to protect the truth in his heart.
"Lying to him is the best way to protect him."
Zhou Bai smiled bitterly. "Since when did I become so used to lying to my friends?"
He looked at the scenery outside the window in a daze. Then, he turned around and enveloped Heretic with his primordial spirit.
Zhou Bai sighed inwardly. He decided not to tell Heretic the truth and not involve him. He would rely on The Fool's ability to find out the secret of the Zuo family's treasury.
As the primordial spirit stimulated him, Heretic shuddered and slowly opened his eyes.
…
Half an hour later, Heretic, who had fallen into a deep slumber again, slowly woke up. Almost as soon as he woke up, layers of treasure light lit up on his body. He activated the treasures one by one, and the light of the treasures protected his body.
Heretic raised his head and saw Zhou Bai's original face. He said in shock, "Zhou Bai? Why are you here? When did you come to Central City? "
Zhou Bai thought for a moment and said, "Heretic, I read Talk of the Four Seas and the remnant page in your hand. I'm going to the Zuo family's treasury to get Primordial Dao Scripture 08."
Heretic's expression gradually became complicated. He was also very conflicted at that moment. At the same time, he had countless questions about Zhou Bai, and he did not know what to say to Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai sighed. He didn't plan to have a showdown with Zuo Dao, but after waking him up half an hour ago and using The Fool's Questions, he realized that there was a condition to enter the Zuo family's treasury.
On one hand, the founder had the bloodline of the Zuo family. On the other hand, the founder's power had reached level-nine.
If they failed to open it, the entire treasury would self-destruct.
The entire treasury was built before the distortion of Tendo. When it was first built, the Zuo family had even asked two immortals to cast spells for them, setting up countless complicated and exquisite formations and restrictions.
Deng Zhenjun of the Fighting Division had been eyeing the Zuo family's treasury for a long time, but he hadn't succeeded because the treasury couldn't be dismantled by force.
"Heretic, I'm sorry for dragging you into my business. If it wasn't necessary, I wouldn't want to drag you into this kind of danger."
Zhou Bai considered his words and looked at Heretic seriously. He said slowly, "But I have to get the Primordial Dao Scripture 08 from the Zuo family's treasury. I have a reason for that."
Heretic looked at Zhou Bai's eyes and sensed his seriousness. He turned his head and sighed. "You didn't drag me into danger … because I'm too weak?"
Zhou Bai was startled. He didn't expect this to be Heretic's first reaction.
Heretic looked at the stunned Zhou Bai and smiled bitterly. "I'm too weak … Zhou Bai, did you know that the speed at which you improve gives people hope? It makes people think that maybe … maybe … humans can surpass gods."
"But at the same time, it also gives people despair. It makes people feel like they can never catch up to you."
Zhou Bai smiled. "I'm talented. Ordinary people like you can't learn that."
He sighed inwardly. 'If you knew about the existence of the Nine Disasters of Heavens and Human, you would probably feel even more despair. My success can't prove the potential of humans.'
Heretic's lips twitched, revealing an ugly smile. "Zhou Bai, tell me, can humans surpass gods?"
Zhou Bai didn't speak for a long time when he sensed the intense heat and desire hidden under Heretic's calm gaze. It was like a dormant volcano.
Zhou Bai thought about many questions that Heretic might ask.
How did he know about the Four Seas Talk?
Why did he cultivate the Primordial Dao Scripture?
Did he seek refuge with the Heavenly Demons?
Was he on the Sky Defying Sect's side now?
Wait, wait, wait. He didn't expect Heretic to ask such a question.
A hint of disappointment gradually appeared in Heretic's eyes when he saw that Zhou Bai did not answer even after a long time. "Can't I?"
"Actually, I don't know." Zhou Bai looked at his body and said in a daze, "I also don't know if my method can be used by ordinary people."
Heretic looked at Zhou Bai and said, "Is it because of the so-called Primordial Dao Scripture? Can I become stronger by cultivating the Primordial Dao Scripture? "
Zhou Bai looked at Heretic and finally nodded. "It will become stronger, but I have to cultivate the Primordial Dao Scripture from the beginning. There will be some side effects. Also, the reason I can defeat immortals is not just because of the Primordial Dao Scripture. "
Heretic nodded. "The Zuo Family's treasury can only be opened when my strength reaches level-nine. In this world, even immortals can't guarantee that one's strength can reach level-nine. So if you want to obtain the things in the treasury, I can't give them to you even if I want to. "
Zhou Bai said, "Immortals may not be able to help, but I have a way to speed up your cultivation. You don't have to agree to me in a hurry. You can let me help you reach level-nine first. "
This was Zhou Bai's choice. He planned to make Heretic trust him first and cooperate with him so that he could help Heretic reach level-nine.
After that, whether Heretic was willing to cooperate or not, Zhou Bai had a way to make him cooperate.
Heretic's eyes revealed a strange glint. "How can you help me?"
...
The next morning, Zhou Bai stretched and went to the grass. He saw Brightmoon sitting cross-legged on the grass. Her Essence Soul power caused the grass to undulate as she breathed.
Brightmoon seems to have become stronger again. Zhou Bai sensed Brightmoon's aura and thought, Looks like she's right. After immortals cultivate the Supreme Palace Nine Imperial Calculation, their strength is constantly recovering.
I have to hurry too. Adding points to Crazy Diagram, modifying Mechanical Dependents, and Primordial Dao Scripture 08 … I have to speed up.
At that moment, the sky suddenly darkened. The originally bright sky turned into a starry sky.
Perfected Lord Pojun's voice sounded. "Brightmoon, your subordinate barged into the Combat Division's Artifact Refinement School, destroyed my Dharma treasure, and injured my disciple. What do you have to say?"
