637 : The Truth

Chapter 637

The Truth
Translated by Yan of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

A ball of multi-colored light was suspended above the enormous stone stage. Seven different colors were intertwining within the light, and this ball of light seemed to be wrapped around something that looked like a magic pill.

The four corners of the stone stage were carved with four stone dragons. Their mouths were opened, and it seemed like there were transparent tubes extending from the stone dragons’ mouths to the ball of light. There was a kind of white energy being transferred inside the tubes, and it was pouring endlessly in magic pill.

But this wasn’t what shocked You XiaoMo the most.

There was a transparent prison below the stone stage. There were many people imprisoned inside of it; precisely speaking, they should be souls. There were mages, as well as a few practitioners, and there were even demon beasts. These souls were currently howling in pain, their faces fierce, as if they wanted to end their lives then and there.

You XiaoMo saw something peel away from behind them. It was the origin of their agony.

“That is conviction and soul force.” At that exact moment, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded next to his ear.

You XiaoMo turned to look and found that the white-robed person who had brought him over had already left. Now it was a middle-aged man wearing the clothes of a priest. He was staring with fascination at the thing above the stone stage, and if it weren’t for the fact that he was the only other person there, You XiaoMo might have thought that what he just heard was an illusion.

Ever since he had been captured, he had never heard a white-robed person say a single thing in this place. Now that somebody spoke to him, he was not used to it.

The middle-aged man slowly started to laugh. “You must want to know what’s happening here very badly. I can tell you.”

You XiaoMo looked at him and didn’t speak.

The middle-aged man didn’t care. He followed up with a shocking sentence: “I’m the same as you; we both came from another world, or should I say, another plane of existence.”

“What are you going off about?” You XiaoMo furrowed his brows.

The middle-aged man turned and glanced at him, and it felt like his eyes had a kind of ability to pierce through someone’s mind. The corners of his mouth slowly curved upwards. “In the world I’m in, one can advance by relying on the power of conviction. Even though it’s not as fast as cultivating, it is truly indispensable in our world. Moreover, the power of conviction can even help the practitioner to break through that realm.”

When You XiaoMo heard him speaking about the the secrets that he shouldn’t know without any reservations whatsoever, he had more or less guessed what he wanted to do. On the contrary, his heart calmed down. “What does the power of conviction that you talked about have to do with this? What exactly is your goal?”

“Rumor has it that the power of conviction can indeed break through and advance. But later, I discovered that it lacked the most important element.” The middle-aged man spoke out loud as if to himself.

You XiaoMo asked, “What element?”

The middle-aged man’s eyes suddenly revealed a hint of crazed happiness. He said, “The strength of the soul’s origin. The reason that realm is hard to break into is because of the restrictive nature of the world. It only recognizes one. Originally, cultivation is a path going against the natural order, and one is often unable to control their own destiny. However, once someone breaks into that realm, not only can they control their own destiny, they will become the master of the entire world. They can easily wipe away the rules the previous master left behind and establish new rules. Everyone will live under those rules.” The middle-aged man suddenly asked, changing the subject, “Oh, that’s right, do you know why this world’s rules aren’t obvious?”
