"Do you know a person named 'The sun covers the mountains, and the ink stains Qingcheng Lake'?" Como looked at Bai Mo's retreating back and quietly contacted Venis.
Because true immortals all have speech spirits, people who are familiar with this system often choose some form of reference in order to avoid attracting the attention of other true immortals.
It's not necessarily because they are worried about anything. In their circle, doing so is simply a courtesy and also to prevent the conversation between two people from being peeked by a third person and causing embarrassment.
For example, for poetry, the most classic convention is to refer to it as an acrostic poem written in the common language of the empire.
"Bai...I know who he is." She didn't say another word.
What can be referred to by one true immortal must be another true immortal.
The True Immortal Word Spirit is such a disgusting thing, and the victim will immediately notice it when its name is mentioned.
However, there are hundreds of millions of people in the empire, and any simple combination of words may be mentioned countless times a day, even if it is an unintentional coincidence.
Therefore, the vast majority of true immortals who are unbearable and do not want to care about mortals accidentally mentioning their names will block the chance of the weak.
Only those whose cultivation reaches a level worthy of attention will enter their sight.
Of course, there is another solution, which is to change your real name to something complicated and difficult to remember, so as to reduce the probability of being encountered by chance as much as possible.
But doing so will also cause embarrassment.
If the name is extremely difficult to pronounce, unless you are an ascetic monk who does not care about worldly affairs, everyone will only call you a nickname when socializing.
The only ones who don't care about the troubles of words and spirits at all, and even take pleasure in it, are probably the true immortals of Shinto.
They wish that someone would talk about them all the time, and then contribute the power of faith to become the material for their own cultivation.
After hundreds of years of development, Shinto belief has developed into a huge system.
The power of faith can not only be directly absorbed by Shinto monks, but can also become the source of power for many Shinto creations.
Like the divine spaceships used by believers to fly in the starry sky, the faith-powered armors equipped by paladins can all use the power of faith as the core, and their convenience is no less than that of electricity.
…
"Do you really know him?" Cuomo confirmed one last time.
"Except for you young people, who in the elector circle doesn't know him..." Venis said in the tone of an old-timer telling young people about history.
But purely in terms of age, Venis is indeed two to three hundred years older than Como, and she can be his grandmother's grandmother.
It's just that in the world of extraordinary beings, these are rarely discussed using the same age and seniority as in the mortal world.
She was extremely impressed with this person. The last time they met, the other person had traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers in space and lifted her directly from the rose bath in the Papal Palace into the starry sky surrounded by immortals... which was considered a feat.
It's a dark history.
"No one would dare to impersonate him, because they will be shot to death by Kirkov and the others immediately."
"You mean...that one is from Kirkov's lineage?" Thinking that he had snatched the historical text from Kirkov's hand, Como's face gradually became serious.
"No, he is the enemy of almost everyone in the empire."
"..."
"I know you have been looking for the truth in chaotic times."
"Yes, I have always wanted to know why people in the past blocked this history!"
As one of Como's allies in overthrowing Kirkov, Venis has repeatedly asked the other party about that period of history.
As a person who was born in that era and has lived until now, it is absolutely impossible for her to know everything, but she still keeps secrets about her ally.
"Because no one wants him to come back..."
"According to the words of the two senior ghost immortals, information beings such as ghost immortals can place their existence in history. Even if everything in this world is killed, there is still a chance to be resurrected from history.
.”
"So, after he disappears, it is the best choice for everyone to forget about that period of history."
"Now that he is back, there is no point in keeping it secret or not. If you want to know, I can tell you in detail now."
"You mean... no one wants him to come back?" Cuomo suddenly asked.
"What's wrong?"
"He is now going to take the special teleportation channel of the Wizard Tower to the Palace of Worry. I can do some tricks in the teleportation array to teleport him to another world..."
"Don't seek death. Three hundred years ago, his body was already an eighth-level existence. Even if you can rely on your magical advantage to cross a lower level and draw with Kirkov..."
Even regardless of Bai Mo's cultivation level, the other party was the developer of the original version of the rune array that is still used today. Digging a hole in front of him was a desperate act.
As the true immortals within the empire deepened their research on themselves, they discovered that after becoming immortals, it would be possible to awaken a special ability named miraculous.
Supernatural abilities are often extremely powerful and are mostly related to time and space.
Moreover, for true immortals, supernatural abilities are like instincts, they cost very little to activate, and their bonus to combat power is terrifying.
But not all true immortals will awaken to the supernatural.
Almost all the miracles discovered today appear randomly. Someone suddenly feels something in their heart, enters a state of enlightenment, and when they wake up again, their own miracle is born.
There are also people who are envious and try all kinds of copying operations, but still get nothing.
There is a huge difference in combat effectiveness between true immortals with supernatural powers and those without supernatural powers.
As for Como, who possesses two supernatural powers, he can even surpass a small level, and with the body of a true immortal of one calamity, he can compete with Kirkov, a true immortal of two calamities.
"Eighth level?! Does the empire really have such a thing?!"
In the empire's grading system, there are indeed eighth-level and ninth-level settings, which are equivalent to the fourth- and seventh-level true immortals respectively. However, in fact, the strongest ones are only the late-seventh-level three-level true immortals.
Como had been a little curious before, how the strongest empire in the late seventh level could reach the eighth level...
"Actually, the concept of the eighth level was proposed by him."
"He is the strongest man in the era of chaos."
"The so-called catastrophe is because he became obsessed with cultivation and had mental problems, so he forced the humans living on Terra to leave Terra..."
"The Empire turned into an interstellar nomadic government and tried its best to stay away from Terra. It was also thanks to him."
"No wonder you said that he is almost everyone's enemy and no one wants him to come back."
"He has arrived at Sansou Palace. I will take him there now."
"..."
Venis persuaded Como and did not let him tamper with the teleportation array, so after just a few breaths, Bai Mo had already arrived at Sansou Palace.
"Welcome to you, Senior Bai." Wei Nisi, who took a second to change into a dress and put on standard makeup, led a fourth-level royal honor guard of nearly a hundred people to Bai Mo's location.
