Chapter 866 560: Cracking the Secret, Preliminary Selection Ends (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
"There must be quite a few demon beasts here, Guan Qiao is also one of our Human Martial Artists, if he were eaten by a demon beast..."
"Stop!"
Lu Lin waved his hand to stop Liu Yuxin, "The sentence before that."
"What I meant was... to dig a hole and bury Guan Qiao."
Liu Yuxin didn't know why Lu Lin suddenly became like this now, her excited emotions almost uncontrollable.
"Yes, yes, that's the sentence!"
"Liu Yuxin, you're really amazing."
Lu Lin gave Liu Yuxin a firm hug, then turned around without looking and continued to study Guan Qiao's corpse.
Now the time left until the end of the Preliminary Selection is getting closer and closer.
He must make haste.
Entirely oblivious to Liu Yuxin's blushing face behind him.
Despite being well over forty years old, just being hugged by Lu Lin made her a little flustered.
Wang Chou watched the reactions of Lu Lin and Liu Yuxin, feeling greatly amused inside.
He said before, this guy Lu Lin is such a romantic.
Far away in the Xi Chu Empire, there was Sun Xiaorui, and now, having just arrived at General Mountain not long ago, he managed to stir up Liu Yuxin, a Heavenly Talent's heart.
He's truly a model for our generation.
Wait a minute.
Wang Chou suddenly remembered, after cultivating for so many years, he hasn't had a Dao Companion, not even a good relationship with any female, which seemed a bit unsuccessful.
But, Wang Chou focused solely on cultivation, what need was there for a Dao Companion?
In Longyuan World, there once was a peerless powerhouse who never married.
He left a famous quote: "Women only slow down my blade pulling speed."
This saying became Wang Chou's guiding principle.
Lu Lin paid no mind to the thoughts of the two behind him, he suddenly realized why he hadn't found the slightest clue after so long.
Cultivators are humans too.
Even those who reach extremely high levels.
After their death, their bodies will decay and deteriorate, except for those who practiced certain cultivation methods, like the Golden Body Sutra Lu Lin practiced, which tempers one's bones to a metal-like level, allowing these bones to remain intact for ten million years, if not longer, after death.
Yet just now Liu Yuxin's words reminded Lu Lin.
Dig a hole and bury Guan Qiao.
This suddenly sparked an idea in Lu Lin's mind; he finally realized what problem he hadn't noticed.
Which was change.
After Guan Qiao's death, his body's reactions were exactly like a real corpse's.
However, with the passage of time, this change hadn't appeared.
Upon death, a person's body stiffens, the temperature drops, blood coagulates and changes color, the fingertips and toes begin to stiffen first.
Especially with someone like Guan Qiao who possessed powerful strength, their corpse changes quicker than that of ordinary people.
Additionally, there's the issue of Star Power.
After Guan Qiao's death, the Star Power within him remained in the state it held during his last battle, only slightly more suppressed.
Lu Lin discovered all these issues while investigating.
But his mind had fallen into a blind spot, failing to attribute importance to them.
Thanks to Liu Yuxin's reminder, he now understood.
The corpse before him was Guan Qiao's, but not Guan Qiao himself.
It was someone impersonating with a super strong Soul Power Cultivation, at the last second before Guan Qiao was killed by Lu Lin, constructing a body resembling Guan Qiao's, then dying and leaving it here.
Though it was done flawlessly, Lu Lin still discovered traces of flaws.
This discovery also confirms Lu Lin's previous hypothesis.
The so-called small world before them, in fact, isn't a real world, but rather an Illusionary Realm.
Lu Lin's Spiritual Strength once again entered Guan Qiao's corpse.
This time armed with enough theoretical evidence, Lu Lin unleashed his full potential.
He spread his Spiritual Strength throughout Guan Qiao's fake corpse.
Then suddenly, he set it off.
Guan Qiao's corpse exploded into countless fragments, scattering everywhere.
However, oddly enough, those parts disappeared thoroughly halfway through their flight.
At this moment.
Lu Lin seized that one millionth of a second when the soul power composing the corpse returned to the whole Illusionary Realm, and found Elder Ting Yu's soul power.
When his Spiritual Strength moved, he suddenly felt as if he were a tiny fish swimming in the sea.
So.
The world.
Is this.
Vast.
Upon entering the Illusionary Realm arranged by Elder Ting Yu with his Spiritual Strength, Lu Lin wasn't captivated by the Illusion Array but awestruck by Elder Ting Yu's immensely powerful Spiritual Strength.
In the face of such Spiritual Strength, Lu Lin felt as insignificant as plankton.
"Seven days are up."
"All Heavenly Talents, prepare to evacuate the small world."
"I will set up a teleportation array here, and anyone who doesn't come out within three hours will remain in this small world forever."
Elder Li Song's voice arrived at this time.
Simultaneously, a beam of faint green light appeared in the small world.
This beam suddenly appeared, shooting straight into the sky.
All the surviving Heavenly Talents on General Mountain, on hearing only three hours remain, immediately got up and headed to the teleportation array.
Regardless of whether they could advance to the top thirty-two, none wish to stay in this world permanently.
"Lu Lin, we're leaving."
Liu Yuxin called out.
Only, Lu Lin crouched on the ground remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Lu Lin, we must leave, Elder Li Song only gave us three hours."
