The ignorant are indeed foolish.
Chu Xingyun's voice was filled with surprise, but more than that, it was filled with mockery, ridicule, and a strong sense of sneer.
As soon as he said this, the entire space suddenly became silent, without the slightest sound.
The Ice Soul Martial Emperor's face twitched. He laughed dryly and said, "Little guy, you must have misunderstood. This is the Ice Soul Temple, and I am the Master of the Temple, the Ice Soul Martial Emperor. Why would I need to pretend, could it be …"
"After being seen through by me, you feel ashamed, so you want to beat me at my own game to save your face?" Chu Xingyun interrupted the Ice Soul Martial Emperor's words. There was nothing but mockery in his eyes.
The Ice Soul Martial Emperor's face twitched even more. The forthright and gentle aura around him had long disappeared. His entire person became extremely gloomy, and his temperament changed.
"How did you know that I was pretending to be the Ice Soul Martial Emperor?" After a long time, the Ice Soul Martial Emperor spat out a word coldly. As he spoke, his originally handsome face changed at this moment, turning into a thin, gloomy man with long and narrow facial features.
He stared at Chu Xingyun, his eyes filled with coldness, as if he was unwilling to give up.
"Outside the Temple, the world is forever sealed by ice and frost. There are many ancient corpses there. Although they have been dead for thousands of years, they still have a trace of remnant soul, silently guarding the Star Celestial Sect. If you were really the Ice Soul Martial Emperor, after seeing me break into the Temple, you would not talk about the inheritance and not mention anything about the Star Celestial Sect."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, the gloomy man was stunned and did not know how to answer.
Chu Xingyun said unhurriedly, "Moreover, the Ice Soul Temple has been abandoned and has become a dead place. Only this place is still filled with the Spiritual Power of Heaven and Earth. It is flowing with light as if it was in its heyday. More importantly, I have already sensed the aura of the Spiritual Array before I stepped into the passage."
"It should be a Level Eight Illusory Formation that covers the entire Sacred Palace. That passageway is the beginning of the Illusory Formation. As long as you stand outside the passageway, you will fall into the Illusory Formation. Therefore, the two spiritual beasts are fake. This empty space is also fake. Even the huge statue in front of us should be fake. Am I right?"
Chu Xingyun scanned the surroundings. Every word and sentence was incomparably clear, causing the gloomy man to fall into silence.
He clenched his teeth and said coldly, "So what if it's an illusory array? It only means that the Sacred Hall is filled with mysteries. You can't see through my identity with just this. Everything is just your speculation."
"Are you sure?" Chu Xingyun smiled again and asked the gloomy man.
"I …" The gloomy man was speechless. He still wanted to argue, but Chu Xingyun continued, "Martial Emperor experts are already standing at the peak of the True Spirit Continent. Their legacy is extremely precious. How could they casually pass it on to an unrelated person? Moreover, you are acting so passionately. You don't have the demeanor of an expert at all."
Hearing this, the gloomy man could not help but say, "You are only at the Heavenly Spirit Realm. You don't understand the vision of a Martial Emperor expert, and you can't even guess it. You don't have the qualifications to say such words."
"No, I definitely have the qualifications to say such words." Chu Xingyun's tone was arrogant. His hands were naturally placed behind his back. That awe-inspiring posture actually gave the gloomy man an illusion. It was as if the person standing in front of him was not a young man who was not even twenty years old, but a peerless Martial Emperor who had lived for thousands of years.
The moment this thought appeared, the gloomy man jumped in fright. He shook his head, but then heard Chu Xingyun's voice again. He calmly said, "Martial Emperor experts have touched the great Dao of Heaven and Earth. In their eyes, the heavens can be reversed, and the earth can be overturned. That kind of supreme will that dares to fight against the heavens and earth is immortal. If there is no suitable person, they would rather have no successor than to casually pass down their legacy and tarnish their immortal will."
"And this suitable person would usually have to go through countless trials and tribulations. It could easily take dozens of years. This is why, in the history of the True Spirit Continent, although there were many Martial Emperor experts, there were very few who could inherit the legacy of a Martial Emperor."
Chu Xingyun's voice was solemn, as if he was explaining the truth of Heaven and Earth.
As a peerless Martial Monarch, Chu Xingyun had a deep understanding of the mental state of a Martial Monarch. He had lived for a thousand years, but he had never had a successor. That was because it was easy to pass on one's legacy, but it was too difficult to inherit one's will.
As he spoke, Chu Xingyun looked at the gloomy man and said with a smile, "Besides those points, there are also flaws in your behavior. You are too impatient. You don't have the calmness that a powerful expert should have."
"What do you mean?" The gloomy man asked subconsciously. Unknowingly, he had already fallen into Chu Xingyun's meticulous words. It was hard for him to think, so he could only open his mouth and ask.
"The test hasn't even started yet, but you kept on emphasizing the legacy of a thousand years and the legacy of a Martial Emperor. You even said that you could let me enter the Ice Soul Blood Pool to refine my body and increase my potential. This is the first point."
"After I agreed to the test, when I was about to start, you suddenly performed a Divine Skill and forcibly helped me increase my cultivation. This made me believe that you have a mysterious method that can make me stronger. This is the second point."
Speaking of this, Chu Xingyun raised the Black Hole Heavy Sword in his hand and suddenly grinned, "Maybe you don't know, but this heavy sword of mine is quite mysterious. As my cultivation increases, its weight will also increase dramatically. After you helped me increase my cultivation, it didn't change at all."
"You have too many flaws. Whether it is the overall situation or the details, it is very difficult to fool me. Even your Possession Technique is very crude. You need to rely on layers of illusory formations to infiltrate my soul. In the end, I was a bit impatient, so I took the initiative to cooperate with you."
Chu Xingyun had lived two lives. Very few people could compare to him in terms of scheming and scheming. Because of that, this seemingly perfect setup was filled with mistakes and countless flaws in his eyes.
Before this plan started, he had seen through the whole plan. His actions, actions, and words were all to cooperate with the sinister man, making the latter think that everything was under his control.
What he didn't know was that this feeling of control was purposely created by Chu Xingyun!
The one who schemed was schemed against was schemed against.
This kind of feeling was very uncomfortable. It hurt the self-esteem of the sinister man, and he had an impulse to doubt his life.
Clap clap clap!
Suddenly, a clear clap was heard.
The sinister man clapped his hands and looked at Chu Xingyun with a forced smile, "You are very smart, much smarter than I expected. Indeed, all of this is my scheme. What you saw just now was all an illusory formation."
As soon as his voice fell, the surrounding void began to twist. The statue disappeared, and the flat ground disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a desolate palace. Only the blood pool remained.
"Level 8 Illusory Magic Formation. It already has the ability to twist space. You're just a wisp of soul. It must have taken you a lot of effort to set up this formation, right?" Chu Xing Yun clicked his tongue in wonder, smilingly looking at the shadowy man.
"To be exact, it took me one thousand three hundred and eighty-seven years. I didn't expect that you would see through it with just one glance. You even mocked me without any scruples." The sinister man's voice was cold. A touch of coldness flashed across his stiff face. He said with a sinister smile, "Fortunately, the process doesn't matter. As long as the result is satisfactory, it is enough."
"The Soul Secret Technique I used has gradually corroded your three spiritual and seven physical souls. Your soul is completely under my control. As long as I willed it, I would be able to take over your body and be reborn. Even if you are extraordinarily intelligent, you would still be helpless against this."
The sinister man let out a wild laugh.
In his eyes, Chu Xingyun was only a Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivator. He had not come into contact with the soul level at all. The secret technique he used had long been prepared. The entire situation was still under his control.
"An ignorant person is truly foolish."
Chu Xingyun helplessly shook his head. His words caused the sinister man to explode with anger. Chu Xingyun was clearly about to be seized, but he still dared to call him ignorant. How bold.
His face was cold. Just as he was about to speak, an incomparably painful expression suddenly appeared on the sinister man's face. In the void, strands of soul appeared and broke apart inch by inch, finally turning into nothingness.
"How is this possible?" The sinister man's face was filled with disbelief. His soul secret technique had been broken. His soul strands were all broken, and he was unable to touch Chu Xingyun at all.
"I have long seen through your scheme. If I didn't have a way to save my life, why would I cooperate with you to act?" Chu Xingyun rolled his eyes. The soul secret technique he had mastered could be said to be vast. Although his realm was low, it was extremely simple to isolate the soul power of a remnant soul. It was as easy as blowing off dust.
The sinister man had been trapped here for seven thousand years. He was eager to leave and had gradually evolved into a demon, causing him to become ignorant.
At this moment, the sinister man finally came to his senses.
His entire face was filled with embarrassment. But at the same time, a trace of doubt appeared in his heart. Chu Xingyun had long known that this was a scheme. Then why did he waste time to act out a farce with him?
Doubt had just appeared on the sinister man's face when it was seen through by Chu Xingyun.
But this time, he did not continue to explain. He raised his eyes slightly, passing through the sinister man and focusing on the blood pool.
Unknowingly, the blood pool had already dried up.
In the middle of the pool stood a cute and fluffy little kitten.
The little kitten's eyes flashed. It let out a low moan and its body turned into an illusory shadow, appearing in the void in an instant. A pair of gem-like eyes swept over, looking down at the sinister man. Its cute little pink tongue would lick its little mouth from time to time.
