Chapter 188: The original true purpose of the Southern Regions Formation
Chapter 188: The original true purpose of the Southern Regions Formation
Seeing this scene, you feel a bit worried that Bai Moyu might resort to underhanded tactics.
You're unsure if Little Peach, in her current state, can unleash her power again.
Of course, Bai Moyu is unaware of your inner thoughts.
If he knew, he might think, "Am I tired of living?"
Although it seems he has a chance to kill Little Peach now, he doesn't understand if that powerful being who can transcend time and space has other means.
The warning from when "Little Peach" erupted still rings in his ears!
Your mind is racing with thoughts, but outwardly, you remain calm.
You slowly walk over to Little Peach and help her up.
You appear to have everything under control.
Then, you turn to Bai Moyu and say, "Does what you said earlier still hold?"Bai Moyu pauses for a moment and nods, "Ask away, I'll tell you everything I know!"
In fact, during that brief moment, Bai Moyu thought a lot.
From Little Peach's earlier display and your ability to break through to the Immortal Realm in the Southern Regions, he realized that your backgrounds are not simple.
He doesn't dare to probe into your origins any further.
But since you want to learn something from him, perhaps he can make friends with you.
If you "recover" someday, you might even help the Nine Mystic Realm!
Though Bai Moyu is somewhat afraid of death, he still cares deeply about the Nine Mystic Realm.
He always considers things from the perspective of the Nine Mystic Realm.
After receiving Bai Moyu's affirmative response, you begin to ponder what you should ask.
You have many questions, but Bai Moyu can actually answer only a few.
For instance, about your simulator or your previous simulation back to billions of years ago—Bai Moyu certainly wouldn't know about these.
In the end, you can only ask about matters concerning the Nine Mystic Realm and the Southern Regions.
However, you don't ask directly; instead, you let Bai Moyu talk about the major events between the Immortal Realm, the Nine Mystic Realm, and the Southern Regions!
After all, you think the information and speculations you obtained earlier may not be entirely correct.
Bai Moyu might not tell the truth either.
Now, having Bai Moyu recount everything allows you to compare it with your previous speculations.
You can then judge the truth for yourself.
Bai Moyu, hearing this, doesn't say much more.
He simply starts speaking on his own.
Regarding the Immortal Realm's invasion of the Nine Mystic Realm and even other realms, it aligns with what Guo Qing told you before.
The Immortal Realm's goal is to plunder the Heavenly Dao.
As for where exactly the Immortal Realm got the method to enhance by plundering the Heavenly Dao, Bai Moyu doesn't know either!
Bai Moyu continues until he mentions a man and a woman, two powerful figures who blocked the Saint realm experts of the Nine Mystic Realm and the Immortal Realm from joining the battle.
Here, the information finally differs from what you previously obtained.
The man and woman were not in their prime; they were already injured.
After blocking the Saint realm experts from both realms, they went into seclusion.
But at this point, Bai Moyu suddenly pauses.
He seems to be struggling with whether or not to say something.
At this moment, a thought suddenly occurs to you.
Seeing Bai Moyu's hesitation, you directly ask, "Did those two hide in the Southern Regions?"
Actually, your guess is based on evidence.
Before Bai Moyu regained his memory, when he saw you and Little Peach, he was very respectful, even mistaking you for someone else.
Initially, you didn't quite understand.
But now that Bai Moyu mentioned the two powerful figures being injured and in seclusion, you immediately thought that Bai Moyu was waiting for that man and woman.
Bai Moyu might not have been entirely truthful; those two might not just be injured but severely wounded, possibly needing reincarnation and re-cultivation.
If this conclusion holds, it would explain why, during the previous simulation, the Saint realm experts of the Immortal Realm dared to defy the orders of those two and attack the Southern Regions.
Because the Immortal Realm also knew something had happened to those two!
Of course, this is still just your speculation.
You focus your gaze on Bai Moyu, waiting for him to continue.
Seeing that you've guessed the hiding place of those two powerful figures, Bai Moyu doesn't hide it anymore and nods.
He then continues, "Not many people know about those two seniors being injured."
"They used the excuse of needing to cultivate and secluded themselves in the Southern Regions."
"In fact, I even set up a formation in the Southern Regions to block others from entering or leaving, as a form of protection!"
Hearing this, you're taken aback!
"Bai Moyu, Bai Moyu, in the previous simulation, you didn't say it like this."
At that time, Bai Moyu claimed he set up the formation to protect the people of the Southern Regions.
He even told his daughter, Bai Ruoxue, the same thing.
Goodness, it was all a lie!
As you mentally criticize, Bai Moyu's voice continues.
"But there's no wall that doesn't leak. As soon as I completed the formation, the Saint realm experts from the Immortal Realm appeared."
"It seems they caught wind of something."
"However, they weren't sure if those two powerful figures had really encountered a mishap!"
"So they claimed that with their greater strength, they could better protect the two seniors, and they took over the formation I set up in the Southern Regions!"
"Initially, they only observed frequently!"
"But as time went on and those two seniors remained hidden, the Immortal Realm grew bolder."
"They began sending people to release Heavenly Thunder every few decades, attacking cultivators in the Southern Regions to test those two seniors!"
"Initially, it was just a test, and the Heavenly Thunder didn't cause real casualties."
"After all, those two seniors were too powerful, and they feared the information they received might be false!"
"And by only attacking and not killing, they could claim it was to temper the younger generation!"
At this point, Bai Moyu sneers, "They really are sanctimonious, playing a clever game!"
After mocking the Immortal Clan, Bai Moyu continues.
"As time passed and those two seniors still didn't appear, the Immortal Clan's tests grew bolder."
"They began manipulating Heavenly Thunder to kill cultivators in the Southern Regions."
"For a time, many cultivators in the Southern Regions died."
"But after several hundred years, two Chosen emerged in the Southern Regions!"
"Their names were Mo Jingtian and Lu Wuya!"
