He didn’t need to threaten him at all. After seeing that Wang Baole had a way to indirectly absorb Dan Zhouzi’s soul and that his body had grown, Shan Lingzi immediately felt frightened. He didn’t feel that there was still a chance to revive after being absorbed like that. Although he didn’t know how Wang Baole did it, the weirdness coming from Wang Baole’s body still made Shan Lingzi’s heart tremble. His gaze was completely filled with fear.
“Fellow Daoist, let’s talk things through nicely. Don’t be rash…” Shan Lingzi shivered as he spoke anxiously. He was scared that he would have no time to say it. But as he spoke, Wang Baole raised his right hand and grabbed him. He feigned the action of throwing him towards the demonic eye behind him and spoke calmly.
“I wasn’t rash, it’s just that there’s no use in letting you live!”
“There is a use!” Shan Lingzi screamed in horror rapidly.
“Fellow Daoist, I… I can recognize you as my master! Master, so long as you promise not to kill me, I… I can help you open the storage ring, I… I can tell you the origins of the three items inside the storage ring. I can also tell you how to use them. Please don’t be rash, Master, I’m very useful!” Shan Lingzi, who became completely submissive as he tried not to get absorbed, spoke extremely hurriedly.
And that was exactly what Wang Baole needed. So before absorbing Dan Zhouzi just now, he purposely took out Shan Lingzi. His goal was to let him see all that. That way, he wouldn’t have to interrogate Shan Lingzi.
Now, it looked to be pretty effective, and Shan Lingzi had already started recognizing him as his master. Wang Baole was pretty satisfied with his intelligence, but he furrowed his eyebrows and displayed a little hesitation, looking as though he was deliberating about whether it was worth it.
He guessed that Wang Baole’s hesitation was displayed on purpose to frighten him, but there was nothing Shan Lingzi could do about it. He could only grit his teeth and say some valuable information first to gain Wang Baole’s trust.
“Master, I obtained the three items in the storage ring from ruins. The three items are the paper human cutout, one of the nine great imitations of the Galaxy Bow, and the… wishing bottle!”
Listening to this point, Wang Baole got interested and looked towards Shan Lingzi.
Noticing Wang Baole’s gaze, Shan Lingzi heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. But he knew that he couldn’t hesitate now. So, he gritted his teeth again and continued speaking.
“The paper human cutout has mysterious origins, but according to my research and checking the ancient literature for all these years, I’m guessing it’s connected to the legendary Graveyard of Stars!
“Legend has it that every time the Graveyard of Stars is activated, several boats go out to ferry all those who have places. After gathering everyone, the boats take them back to the Graveyard of Stars, which no one knows the specific location of. And the boats are very special. Only those with places can see them. For others, the boats are invisible!
“And legend has it that the ferrymen on the boats from the Graveyard of Stars are… paper human cutouts!
“So, I’m guessing that the paper human cutout in the storage ring should have been a ferryman of one of the boats previously. But for some reason, he didn’t return after going out…”
Speaking to that point, Shan Lingzi didn’t continue. Instead, he looked piteously towards Wang Baole. Obviously, he wanted Wang Baole to guarantee that he wouldn’t kill him.
Even if the so-called guarantee was just a spoken promise, Shan Lingzi would be willing to accept that. He knew that he had no right to make Wang Baole swear that he wouldn’t kill him and that a spoken promise wasn’t safe. However, he had no other choice, and there wasn’t much use in keeping information about the items in the storage ring from Wang Baole.
After all… since he could discover the information, it wasn’t that much of a secret. One portion came from ancient literature, and he learned the other portion by himself. If Wang Baole spent a little time, he would be able to find the information.
Shan Lingzi thought that if he used that to threaten Wang Baole, he would be looking for death. Instead, if he just told Wang Baole everything, he might still have a chance of survival. So, he begged piteously as he displayed the unease and fear in his heart.
Shan Lingzi’s choice was correct. If he really used the information to threaten Wang Baole previously, with Wang Baole’s personality, it was highly likely that Wang Baole would seal him and forcefully search his soul after he reached the Planet realm.
As for whether he was dead or alive, Wang Baole wouldn’t care. But Shan Lingzi’s active cooperation made Wang Baole very satisfied. He also felt that his plan had worked. Wang Baole didn’t speak immediately, pondering in his mind instead. After cross-checking his previous encounter with the ethereal spirit boat with Shan Lingzi’s words, his soul kept trembling.
It seems that my previous guesses were correct! Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. When he suddenly looked in the direction of the Divine Eye civilization, another thought arose in his mind.
Could it be that the ethereal spirit boat’s original destination was… the Divine Eye civilization? Because the Divine Eye civilization’s royalty has a place… Yameng previously said that the Divine Eye civilization’s place seemed to be infused into the royal bloodline, and it was very difficult for outsiders to obtain it. They could only willingly transfer it to others at the moment the Graveyard of Stars was activated!
If that’s the case, maybe Yameng didn’t know everything. The transfer of the Divine Eye civilization’s place doesn’t happen during the activation of the Graveyard of Stars, but… the arrival of the Fallen Star Boat? Multiple thoughts spun in Wang Baole’s mind as a glimmer flashed between his eyes.
Maybe I also have a place? Wang Baole thought about it and brushed away that thought. Although he seemed to possess the royal bloodline, it was tied to the Demonic Eye Art and not truly possessed by his physical body. So, he wasn’t naturally related by blood to the real royalty.
Therefore, it was extremely improbable for him to have that place.
But there’s no harm in… Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He thought about how the paper human cutout seemed to purposely tremble previously to guide Shan Lingzi and Dan Zhouzi to him. He also thought of the abnormality of the paper human cutout after he used the Dao Scripture.
All those signs weaved together in his mind. Although he wasn’t completely clear of the truth, he wasn’t too far from it. So, after pondering, he looked at Shan Lingzi’s soul.
He nodded his head slightly and spoke calmly.
“That’s enough. If you have any other information about the paper human cutout, don’t hide it. Tell me immediately, and I can consider your future mercifully.”
Those words weren’t the perfect promise Shan Lingzi wanted, but he dared not ask for too much. So, he quickly spoke obsequiously as he told Wang Baole all he knew truthfully.
“Master, I dare not offend the paper human cutout. I only know this much… But, I know more about the other items in the storage ring…” Shan Lingzi was a little nervous. He noticed that Wang Baole seemed to be more interested in the paper human cutout, and he was scared of activating Wang Baole’s killing intent because he didn’t know enough. Because of that, he spoke quickly.
“The power of the bow in the storage ring can be said to be heaven-shaking. Master, this bow has an extraordinary background. According to my many years of research, I can finally confirm that this bow is one of the legendary nine great Galaxy Bow imitations in the Never-Ending Dao Domain!”
“Galaxy Bow?” Wang Baole focused his gaze on the bow in the storage ring. He remembered that it was embellished with ten Eternal Star-like spheres and looked very astonishing while feeling very majestic. After hearing Shan Lingzi’s words, he finally knew the bow’s name.
“Master is indeed knowledgeable. You’ve recognized the origins of this bow. Indeed, this bow is an imitation of the Galaxy Bow. In the Never-Ending Dao Domain, there are ten Star Domain Absolute treasures that are extremely famous. Six of them already have owners, but four of them have been missing for many years. No one knows where they are. And among them is the Galaxy Bow!” Shan Lingzi bootlicked without a trace as he continued speaking hurriedly.
“The true Galaxy Bow has 30,000 Eternal Stars embellished on it. Once pulled, it can make galaxies and laws collapse, shattering all laws. Its sheer power is simply indescribable!”
“An artifact-refinement master followed some clues and used his entire life to create nine imitations. Every one of them is embellished with ten Eternal Stars. Although they’re worlds apart from the true Galaxy Bow, to Eternal Star cultivators, they are worth a fortune and are things they could only dream of possessing!” Speaking to that point, Shan Lingzi swept his gaze at Wang Baole.
