"...How could I forget it? Hehe, except for the Void Demon and the Dragon Clan, this is the first time someone can force me to that extent. If it were him, it would be fun. "The ghost suddenly patted his forehead. "No, right? How could I remember that he has a close relationship with Qiu, and he is Lingwan's teacher. With his identity, even if Ye Yue wanted him, Lingwan would not be able to attack him. Besides, Jiuling was a spell set by Qiu himself. If Qiu really trusted Xiao Shu, it would never be the Jiuling that he triggered."

"You are rare to be smart, but you are not completely right. Even if Qiu trusts Xiao Shu, his identity as an external demon cannot be denied. Lingwan has so many teachers and students, do you really think that everyone will trust Xiao Shu because of Qiu's relationship? What's more, now that Qiu is missing, or... dead, how could the heads of Lingwan's departments offend the royal family and the foreign tribe for an external demon? Do you know why Qiu set up the Nine Spirits at the beginning?"

"You really think I'm idiot. What else can you do? Of course, it's to protect Lingwan and his students." The ghost said disapprovingly.

"Who told you that Qiu set up the Nine Spirits to protect Lingwan and the students? Maybe it's not appropriate to say this, but do you really think that a person like Qiu will work hard to set up such a powerful barrier for just students? You must know that even if the Nine Spirits are not touched, just maintaining the spiritual array will consume a lot of energy. Is it just for the students? For Lingwan?" Kong glanced at Gui meaningfully.

"What's that for?"

Although he had only seen Qiu, he often listened to Zero when he was with Zero. Qiu was a legend of the human race, a representative figure of the peak of the spiritual path, and a chief of the Xingyue Council and the guardian of the spiritual path. So far, no one has surpassed his achievements. The long years have long worn out his human nature. There is no essential difference between good and evil in his eyes, and life and death are even more ordinary in his eyes. Therefore, on the day his disciple Ye Bei died, he did not intervene, so on, the day when Butterfly lost control and killed people, he also stood by and watched. Perhaps in some ways, he was more extreme and stubborn than Zero.

How could such a person spend so much energy on setting up the Nine Spirit Barrier for just students?

Impossible.

"You guess."

Kong shrugged indifferently, looking at the ghost like an idiot. A pleasure of revenge surged in his heart made him feel relaxed physically and mentally, and most of the anger accumulated in the past two days also dissipated.

"If you like to say or not, I will know everything if I go directly to see it. No matter what it is, can I kill me?" The ghost rolled his eyes disdainfully. There was only one person on this road that could really make him feel afraid, and no matter how strong the rest were, he had never been afraid at all.

"Ghost, no one in this world knows your strength better than me. Half-step Divine Abyss, Holy Spirit Soldiers, can release 80% of the power of the virtual crystal with all their strength. It may be a bit exaggerated to be invincible in the world, but you are already at the top of this continent. Unfortunately, you are right. That thing can not only kill you, but also easily kill you. Maybe even the virtual crystal stone can't save your life."

"I was scared, uh... are you serious?" Gui's foot, which was about to step out, slowly took it back. Kong was the researcher and founder of the Void Crystal Stone. He would never joke about anything about the Void Crystal Stone.

"Ghost, let me ask, who is the person you fear the most in this world?"

"No, how is this possible? You mean... Zero has been imprisoned by Qiu in Lingwan and trapped in the Nine Spirit barrier? You think I am a fool, how is this possible? Are you sick and fever? Or you go back first and leave the rest to me, so as not to blame me again." The ghost touched his forehead, then stepped forward and touched Kong's forehead.

"Who is in the mood to joke with you, idiot, I mean, what are you most afraid of Zero? Zero's wisdom is unattainable, and only Qiu can compare with his spiritual attainments, but these are not his most terrifying places." Kong patted the ghost's hand, still with an expression of looking at an idiot.

The ghost put away his hippie smiley expression, his expression became solemn and solemn. He slowly said, "You mean Shi Zhisha, did Zero not completely seal it at the beginning?"

"Ghost, except for Zero, I'm afraid no one in this world knows what Shi Zhisha is. Even if he is knowledgeable, it is the same. I once thought that Shi Zhisha refers to the meaning of time, but obviously it is not. In other words, it contains the concept of time, but it is not just time. Zero has changed a lot over the years. He is very disgusted with mentioning the past, but I have followed Zero for the longest time. Before he left the parliament, I have followed it. I can tell you clearly that Zero indeed seals Shi Zhisha, but it is only one-third. Those are three things you can't guess even if you want to break your head." Kong did not keep it in silence again. He was silent for a while and said in a deep voice, "A hourglass, an apple, a core, the core is gone, and the hourglass is sealed by Zero."

"Hey hey hey, don't joke, isn't it sealed under Jiuling... an apple?" The ghost's expression suddenly became extremely strange.

"If it was really an apple, Qiu might have the ability to seal it. Unless he imitated Zero, Qiu would never take unnecessary risks. Of course, what the Nine Spirits sealed was not the original apple, but a strange beast that swallowed the apple. Qiu and Zero joined forces to sacrifice five strange beasts that the wild spirit had barely suppressed, the Heavenly Fox."

As soon as the word "Sky Fox" came out, it seemed that even the temperature around him had dropped a lot. When the ghost heard this, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Sky Fox, a strange beast? I know that there are a few ancient strange beasts living in the world, but no one knows their traces. Moreover, the power of the strange beast is unimaginable, how could it fall into Qiu's hands?"

Ninety-nine percent of the people on this continent, including foreign races, are actually very unfamiliar with the word " strange beast". They have never even heard of it, there are no records, and there are no legends. It is a history that originated earlier than the origins of each race. Only the four kings of the Dragon Clan truly know that the existence of strange beasts is. If it were not for the relationship between the Star and Moon Council, the existence of strange beasts would never be known to the world.

According to the Four Kings, except for the human race, other races have evolved from descendants of strange beasts, including the dragon race. The reason why the dragon race is powerful is because of the difficulty of breeding. Asexual reproduction ensures the purity of bloodline and the state is closest to that of ancient strange beasts. Although other races also evolved from strange beasts, their bloodlines have diluted because of their excessive debauchery. One generation is worse than the other, and the power of strange beasts' bloodlines is not ten.

The dragon clans of the degenerations have become so powerful, so what should the power of the strange beast itself?

This is the point where ghosts are truly puzzled. Qiu and Ling are indeed the top people compared to the times, but they are probably far behind ancient strange beasts. Not to mention the five wild spirits, even if the ancient spirit sage takes action personally, it is not easy to catch the strange beasts.

"Although the strange beasts are powerful, they are not immortal. They are more difficult to breed than the dragon clan, or there is basically no concept of breeding. For example, if the Tianhu lives normally at 100,000 years, then when it lives to 90,000 years, it will be ready to breed the next generation. It is said that breeding is actually reincarnation by itself. You should know the blood curse of the Four Lords. It is almost the same. The only difference is that after the strange beasts are reincarnated, the memories of the previous life will be eliminated. They do not need to keep their memories. Anyway, there is no inheritance. All they have is the power of the bloodline of the strange beasts. Of course, Qiu and Ling cannot catch the adult Tianhu, but what if it is the Tianhu who has not yet awakened in childhood? With the methods of both of them, it may not be difficult."

"Since they are reincarnated by themselves, how could the descendants of each race evolve? According to your statement, the saying of strange beasts in life and death, how can the descendants breed and evolve?" Gui was very puzzled, and the statement of emptiness was obviously contradictory.

"It was indeed the case at first. To be precise, the birth of strange beasts far before the spiritual path. They were the real masters of the virtual spirit world. In the initial world, the spiritual power was violent and chaotic, and it was difficult for cultivators to survive. Only strange beasts with strong bloodlines could be at ease. But even so, breeding is an extremely difficult thing for strange beasts. Breeding will consume a lot of energy and life span, not only time and effort, but if you are not careful, you will be taken advantage of by natural enemies. Therefore, in order to adapt to the environment, most strange beasts gradually evolved into asexual reproduction, that is, reincarnation on their own. The advantage of this method is that it does not

There is a process of breeding and courtship, which saves time and effort, but the disadvantage is that the limitation of self-reincarnation. No matter how strong the alien beast is, it is the limit, and it can only barely maintain the number of alien beasts. Later, because of the appearance of spiritual path, the spiritual power of heaven and earth was sorted out, and the environment improved a lot. The alien beasts were more grateful and trusted to the spirit masters. It was during that time that many alien beasts resumed normal breeding, so there was a saying that descendants had evolved into various races. Their descendants were also bred again and again, and their bloodlines gradually became thinner, which led to the era of the strength of all races."

Kong couldn't help but pause when he said this. He looked at Lingwan and breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "But everything in the world has two sides. The appearance of spiritual sages is the main reason for the extinction of strange beasts. The newly reincarnated alien beasts are far less powerful than adults. They cannot resist the capture of spiritual sages. The bone, blood, tendon, skin, and spirit cores are so precious. They even catch them as pets. To this day, it is reasonable to extinction of strange beasts, but there are exceptions. For example, Tianhu, they have never trusted spiritual sages and only avoided them. They have been breeding asexually and reincarnated on their own, so the number is extremely rare."

"You mean, Zero sealed the hourglass, which is the so-called Sand of Time. The core disappeared, and the apple was eaten by a heavenly fox. So Zero and Qiu joined forces to seal the heavenly fox under Lingwan? Hey hey, your story is too exaggerated." The ghost touched his nose, stared at the nine spirit barrier that was as vast as a mountain with a tangled face, and murmured, "One hourglass, one core, one apple, what is this thing?"

"I asked Zero, but he never explained it, but I could probably feel that it was not that he was unwilling to explain, but that he could not express it in words. Hourglass, cores, and apples should be related to time, but I don't know what it specifically refers to." Kong once asked Zero whether the hourglass represents time. Zero just nodded, then shook his head again, and said nothing.
