Gu Zhan said flatly, "Enslave the mortals."
Baiyun Immortal Child nodded slightly.
"Is this the ruling model of your Cultivation Sects from Ancient Times?" Gu Zhan asked.
"It should be," Baiyun Immortal Child said, "I was born in the Barrier and don’t know what it was like before. My master told me all this."
"What is a Barrier?" Gu Zhan asked.
Baiyun Immortal Child pondered for a moment and said, "It can be understood as a hidden world within this world. Specifically, I don’t understand it; I only heard from my master, who said that many years ago, the world entered the End of the Dharma Era, spiritual energy scattered, and the cultivators hid in the Barrier, waiting for the Spiritual Qi Revival to return to the world."
Gu Zhan said coldly, "Continue, tell everything you know."
Baiyun Immortal Child said, "I don’t know much either. I’ve been in the Barrier since birth. I’ve only heard my master say that mortals are very fragile, and we just need to follow his instructions."
Gu Zhan slowly said, "So, you’re deliberately creating plagues to gradually enslave mortals?"
Baiyun Immortal Child nodded and said, "Master says mortals are very ignorant, and with a little trickery, they will worship us as Immortal Gods and follow our orders."
"Why not go directly to the Court?" Gu Zhan asked.
Baiyun Immortal Child said, "We didn’t even know what the Court was before, never heard master mention it. It was only recently that we learned about the Court from the mortals. However, master said it doesn’t matter. He said with Spiritual Qi Revival, Cultivation Sects would reappear, and the mortal systems would gradually become useless, with local Cultivation Sects taking precedence."
Gu Zhan then asked, "What do you want those young women for?"
"Reproduction," Baiyun Immortal Child said, "Our Barrier people are few, and we need mortal women to bear offspring for us!"
Kou Baimen suddenly said, "You’re deceiving those girls to be breeding tools?"
Baiyun Immortal Child said confusedly, "What else can mortal women without cultivation potential do besides bearing offspring? Isn’t it the same in your mortal realm?"
Kou Baimen was speechless.
Gu Zhan thought for a moment and asked, "Are there many such Cultivation Sects as yours?"
"I don’t know," Baiyun Immortal Child said, "I have always been in the Barrier since birth, and I don’t know what it’s like outside."
Gu Zhan said seriously, "What is it like inside the Barrier?"
"It’s no different from your mortal world," Baiyun Immortal Child said, "However, we have no Court there, only some small villages worshiping our Celestial Star Cave!"
Gu Zhan frowned and said, "Not all inside the Barrier are cultivators?"
"Of course not," Baiyun Immortal Child said, "Most in the Barrier are ordinary mortals; only those with Spirit Roots have a chance to enter the Celestial Star Cave for Cultivation. The mortals are just slaves!"
"So you deceive those girls to the Barrier to reproduce for your cultivators or the mortals?" Gu Zhan asked.
"Both," Baiyun Immortal Child said, "However, cultivators generally find it hard to produce offspring unless those with some cultivation potential might be taken by a cultivator for reproduction. Those without potential are given to the mortals!"
Gu Zhan pondered for a moment and asked, "How powerful is your Celestial Star Cave? How many cultivators, and what is their cultivation realm?"
Baiyun Immortal Child shook his head again and said, "I’m not really sure. I only know our Celestial Star Cave has over three hundred cultivators, but I don’t know their specific strengths. Most are stronger than me since I’m just at the Grotto Heaven Realm, the strongest being my master, but I don’t know what his cultivation realm is!"
Gu Zhan pondered slightly.
At this juncture, Kou Baimen asked, "Where is this Barrier? Can outsiders not enter? Why don’t others come out?"
Baiyun Immortal Child said, "It’s in the Sword King Mountain Range you spoke of. Currently, Spiritual Qi Revival isn’t much outside, so our cultivators face many restrictions outside. Therefore, master doesn’t allow everyone to come out. The Barrier has a passage opened now, but with restrictions; without the Magic Technique, one cannot enter. If you wish to go, I can lead you and even teach you the Magic Technique!"
Gu Zhan slightly raised an eyebrow, scrutinizing Baiyun Immortal Child.
Baiyun Immortal Child shivered all over.
Kou Baimen chuckled softly beside him, "You have ill intentions. Do you intend to lure us there for your master to avenge you?"
Baiyun Immortal Child panicked, "No...no...I didn’t..."
Kou Baimen sneered, walked to Gu Zhan’s side, and whispered, "Prince, what should we do? Should we dispatch an army?"
"No need!"
Gu Zhan waved his hand and said, "That so-called Yellow Dragon Immortal is already here."
"What?" Kou Baimen was shocked.
Gu Zhan chuckled lightly and said, "Just now, when Baiyun Immortal Child was talking to us, he secretly performed some magic, likely a messaging type!"
Kou Baimen looked at Baiyun Immortal Child angrily, then turned to Gu Zhan and said, "Prince, why didn’t you stop it?"
Gu Zhan shook his head slightly, "Why stop it? We would have to meet this Yellow Dragon Immortal sooner or later. Isn’t it convenient that he’s here?"
While speaking,
Gu Zhan slowly walked towards the terrified Baiyun Immortal Child, then let out a cold snort. Baiyun Immortal Child and another fallen Immortal Child instantly exploded into a mist of blood.
Blood mist enveloped,
Gu Zhan directly walked to the hall door, slowly lifted his head.
At this time, in the sky above,
several streaks of light were swiftly flying in, but instead of coming straight to Sword King City, they descended onto Sword King Mountain.
