Chapter 251: Chapter 182 The Most Terrifying Character!_2

Mr. Lu said with a smile, "He is a prodigious talent, suited for the ancient relic’s entrance. He’s probably inside already, but don’t worry... His gift is exceptional and I have calculated, there shouldn’t be a big problem."

"He’s too young."

Lin Lei hesitated, "It says in this booklet that upon entering the ancient relic, the first step is to role-play as a townsfolk in a deserted town, to get closer to the relic."

Mr. Lu nodded, then explained, "This ancient relic was originally an old Blessed Land, which essentially served as a large-scale Pure Land sheltering the Human Clan."

"But in a large-scale Pure Land, once blood is spilled and creatures die, tragedies ensue."

"This Blessed Land, however, has no such worries, so it is more like a fortress."

"Based on what we currently understand, the previous Master of the Blessed Land, even if not from the Human Clan, must have held great benevolence towards us; that’s why... such an old town remains preserved!"

"Role-playing as citizens is meant to get close to the residual consciousness of the previous Master and receive favorable treatment from it."

Mr. Lu continued so, then with a smile added, "How much have you discerned?"

But Lin Lei frowned and said, "As I see it, role-playing as townsfolk seems to involve four possible Transformations."

"The first, blend in without impact, completely breaking free from the town and reverting to one’s true self."

"The second, blend in and become unable to extricate oneself, forget one’s identity, and truly become one of the townsfolk, thus becoming part of the relic."

"The third, fail to blend in, also unable to break free, suffer erosion, leading to complete loss of control, and the person fully transforms into Evil."

"The fourth, fail to blend in, yet not lose complete control, only remain as an outsider, quietly waiting for the opportunity until the sun and the moon rise together, and the town disappears."

After some hesitation, Lin Lei said, "Flames is too young and might get completely assimilated while role-playing, forgetting himself and becoming one of the townspeople, unable to leave."

"Not likely."

Mr. Lu laughed.

Lin Yan had undergone the Refining Essence to Qi Refinement multiple times, firm and unshakeable, and would not lose control!

What’s more, with a divine object in hand, any change can be immediately transferred into the Nirvana Divine Egg to maintain one’s true self.

In his opinion, the easiest to break free from the ancient town was indeed Lin Yan!

"You see quite clearly, but have you seen through the many advantages?"

"It is a trial."

Lin Lei whispered, "As long as one is not assimilated into the townspeople or completely loses control... the benefits are boundless!"

"On the brink of a breakthrough, such a trial fortifies the spirit. With the ’sun and moon rising together’, there is a great hope of breaking free from mental constraints and reaching the Refining Essence Realm."

"And those in the Refining Essence Realm who walk out from the ’ancient town’, experiencing ’sun and moon rising together, the unity of five Qi’, possess profound foundations and a great chance to ascend to the Qi Refining Realm."

"As for the Qi Refining Realm, that I do not know."

——

At this moment, inside the ancient relic, within the old town.

"If my guess isn’t wrong, this old town exists between the real and the unreal."

"That era, when nights of deceit descended, although the town wasn’t swept over by a large number of Evils, the ’strange aura’ of the deceitful nights turned everything in the old town into Evils... including the townsfolk!"

"Upon arriving here, we have two choices!"

Lin Yan, pondering, said, "Either we stand by and hide in this town... but the omnipresent ’deceitful night aura’ will erode us, and when we can’t hold out, we’ll lose control and become Evil!"

He looked at Lv Tang and Ji Baochang, and said, "This is why people who cultivate the ancient ways, with their excessive hidden dangers, are not permitted to enter and explore the relic."

"For instance, that garrison commander outside, if he had come in, by now he would have been eroded by the ’strange aura’ and completely lost control!"

"You can choose to find a place to hide in this town, resisting the ’deceitful night aura’ with your true heart."

"As long as you maintain your nature without losing control, that’s akin to undergoing a trial."

As Lin Yan spoke, Lv Tang nodded, "I have always been strong-willed and never change my decision once I make it, with a steadfast nature."

"I consider myself to be strong-minded, but I have offered my service to this esteemed ancestor," Ji Baochang hesitated, "I’m afraid the ancestor will be influenced and eventually won’t recognize me..."

"Seal up your esteemed ancestor first."

Lin Yan thought for a moment and said, "If you’re confident in yourself, you can begin role-playing as townsfolk from now on, acting according to the traces they left behind... but remember your own identities and not fully become one of them!"

"That would be akin to killing oneself, allowing the townsfolk to ’resurrect’!"

"And if you break free from the ’influence’ as I just did, the benefits should be even greater."

"I suspect this ancient relic is still alive and selecting a successor for the Human Clan!"

Lin Yan said so, then whispered, "So, I have to mimic that County Magistrate..."

The Little White Ape listened quietly and couldn’t help but ask, "Mimic him how?"

Lin Yan thought for a moment, then said, "First slay a cow, then a woman. I just got this ’record book’, it’s written so..."

Ji Baochang raised his hand, saying, "I just learned that there are two cows possessed by Evil that also entered this relic, located in the western cattle shed! In the Tribulation Ash, there’s a female principal with high Cultivation, dressed in red... She disguised herself as a courtesan at the brothel up ahead."

"Then there’s no problem."

Lv Tang nodded, "He frequently wanders to the Spring Night Brothel, looking for ’Ge Mei Er’, finding his way to the brothel just as if he’s going home!"

"Get lost!"

Lin Yan drew his sword from the sheath, walked ahead with the Little White Ape, and said, "Your path, choose for yourself!"

He walked on.

The Little White Ape whispered, "Sir, what role should I play?"
