Cang asked, "You're looking for that dragon girl because you want to use her dragon blood to break the seal on the boundary, right?"
Li Jin played with the energy ball in his hand, without answering Cang's question.
Cang took it as his tacit agreement.
Cang's voice rang out from Li Jin's right: "If she's strong enough, we could indeed cooperate with her, but she's still young, and her current strength is probably not enough to tear open a spatial rift. I think you..."
Before Cang could finish speaking, Li Jin coldly interrupted, "When did I say that I was going to take her to break the barrier right now?"
It was simply that they discovered her existence and saw hope in breaking the barrier.
"Okay, okay, you didn't say anything, but have you thought about what kind of situation you'll face after opening the barrier? Are you confident you can leave safely?"
Li Jin lowered his eyes and did not answer Cang's question.
He also asked himself in his heart, "Am I confident?"
The answer is uncertain.
He wasn't sure about this either.
But if given the chance, he would still like to give it a try.
Cang continued unhurriedly, "Didn't that scroll also contain a piece of advice? Even if you forcibly tear open a spatial rift, you will still face various unknown dangers afterward."
"For example: the repulsion from the power of the plane, or the boundless realm on the other side of the boundary, which is an independent space without the flow of time, a void that may never be left behind."
"You may get lost somewhere until you die, but even then, your soul cannot leave, forever lost in the torrent of time, until it is completely annihilated."
"I once drifted in that void for thousands of years. You can't even begin to imagine the vast loneliness I felt. If I hadn't drifted here by chance, I probably would have been driven mad by that loneliness long ago."
Li Jin had never thought of what Cang was saying.
However, unlike Cang, he did not experience various twists and turns when he accidentally entered this realm; instead, he went directly here.
This shows that many possibilities exist outside the boundary.
perhaps……
Li Jin looked up toward the source of the sound, and he unusually wanted to tease, "Is it possible that you're just unlucky?"
He had investigated this matter.
There are quite a few people and demons who have mistakenly entered this place from the outside world.
Most of them directly enter this realm, experiencing only brief dizziness without any other setbacks.
"Hey! I'm talking to you..."
If Li Jin could see Cang at this moment, he would definitely see the way Cang is rolling his eyes.
Cang said somewhat sullenly, "Well, that's true. I was indeed unlucky, otherwise I wouldn't only have a soul left."
"But don't take any chances. Coming in and leaving are not the same thing. Nobody knows what the outside world is like. What if, what if what appears after opening is the turbulent winds I've experienced before? Wouldn't that mean I'd be killed on the spot..." Cang's voice trailed off.
Li Jin calmly replied, "Anyway, it's not you who's taking that risk, so what are you afraid of?"
After listening, Cang earnestly said, "We've been old friends for so many years. I'm saying all this for your own good. You are now the ruler of a region and lack nothing. There's nothing wrong with staying here. There's no need to keep thinking about leaving. You might not be able to achieve your current greatness if you leave."
Li Jin twirled the energy ball in his hand: Great cause? He didn't care that much.
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Cang thought for a moment and said, "Isn't your problem that you can't transform into a dragon? I do have a method that might help you successfully transform into a dragon. Would you like to hear it?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jin looked up and glanced in the direction of the sound.
After a moment, he said calmly, "Not interested."
Cang retorted, "You're just being stubborn!"
Cang knew that Li Jin was being hypocritical after just a short hesitation.
"Fine, I'll reluctantly tell you!"
Cang completely disregarded Li Jin's thoughts and continued speaking regardless of whether Li Jin wanted to hear them or not.
"Here's how it works: you can first gain the dragon girl's trust, then find a way to get her to open the seal on the boundary. Once the seal is open, take advantage of her unpreparedness to severely injure her and seize her life essence pearl."
"Although she doesn't have a thousand years of cultivation now, she has the bloodline of a true dragon. Her natal pearl is equivalent to a thousand years of cultivation for you, which will be the key to your transformation into a dragon. With her natal pearl, there will be no more obstacles in the world that can hinder you, and your transformation into a dragon will be a natural outcome!"
"How about it? See? Isn't my idea brilliant?" Cang's voice held a hint of pride.
Upon hearing this, Li Jin frowned slightly: "Unorthodox methods."
He disdained such a thing.
Although he was not exactly a virtuous person, he knew that if he had to pave his own path to becoming a dragon with the life of another dragon, even if he could soar through the heavens in the future, he would not be happy, and would even feel ashamed.
Such success is devoid of any glory and is nothing to be proud of.
Cang's initial joy turned into displeasure: "Hey! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you still don't appreciate it? I gave you advice, and you didn't appreciate it, and you even called me a quack."
"I think what you lack is not the opportunity to transform into a dragon, but the courage and determination to become a true dragon."
"Or are you saying you can't bring yourself to do it? Heh... Don't be ridiculous. This is a world of carnage, where the strong are respected. You became the Lord of the Northern Region and the City Lord of Youtu City. How many corpses have you stepped on? Which king's path to success wasn't paved with blood?"
"Have you said enough?" Li Jin's tone was indifferent, but it was a bit cold: "How I walk my path, which way I choose, is my own decision. Why do you need to tell me what to do?"
"Or do you think I've been too easy to talk to lately?"
As he spoke, Li Jin flipped his hand, and a storm faintly condensed in his palm.
"Alright, alright, I was just being nosy."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Cang quickly made his escape.
-
"Place your bets! Place your bets!"
A loud voice came from the betting area next to the arena.
"The next betting session has started. The Heavenly Fiend Demon Cultivator will face off against the Cold-Blooded Beast Lion. The odds are 1 to 3. Anyone else want to place a bet? Hurry up and place your bets quickly, or you'll regret it when the betting closes."
Inside the trading platform, the half-transformed monkey demon shouted outwards while rapidly manipulating the abacus beads in his hand.
The deer demons gathered at the entrance laughed, "Hey! There's still a Demon Manifestation match today. He won five games in a row yesterday, doesn't he need a rest today?"
The snake demon flicked its tongue: "Mo Xian? I just ran into him when I came in. He seemed to be in pretty good shape today, you could say his aura was even stronger than yesterday."
"Oh, really!" The deer demon's eyes lit up. "Should we bet on him to win again today? I made quite a bit yesterday! Hehe..."
The dog demon beside him stroked his chin thoughtfully: "Mo Xian is indeed powerful, but his opponent today is Shi Nie. Do you think he still has a chance of winning?"
