The Journey of Projection Upgrading
Chapter 176: Reaching Consensus

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Chen An furrowed his brows, looking at Bai Qing.

He had observed Bai Qing's situation all along and knew about the various problems she had.

However, he never expected that the issues on Bai Qing were so serious.

He thought it was just a simple coincidence, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation.

An ancient soul lurking inside her body, ready to possess her at any moment.

This was not just a coincidence; it was a disaster.

"At that time, it was meaningless to say, not only useless, but it would have easily implicated others."

Bai Qing smiled, "Now, there is naturally no problem."

Chen An suddenly understood.

In the end, it was all about strength.

Previously, Chen An had only displayed his powerful aura, which was already strong, but it might not have been enough to intimidate the ancient entity inside Bai Qing.

Naturally, Bai Qing would not have disclosed these matters.

After all, there was a sin in this world, knowing too much.

Being weak but knowing too much was a grave sin in itself.

Bai Qing would rather bear all the burdens alone than add pressure to others.

As for now, with Chen An exhibiting his innate strength, the situation naturally changed.

"The intentions of Princess Changping are not pure, but in some aspects, she is somewhat similar to you."

Chen An looked at Bai Qing, "She is very purposeful in her actions, everything she does is to achieve her goals."

As he spoke, he also informed Bai Qing about everything regarding Liang Yao.

Including Liang Yao's past attempts to harm Bai Qing, as well as her efforts to collect treasures and news about going to a different realm.

Without surprise, even Bai Qing was stunned by this information.

After all, it was too horrifying.

Predicting the future? How could such a thing be possible?

"No, it is possible!"

Inside her body, the voice of the Empress Luo Shan suddenly sounded, becoming active at that moment.

Seeing this, it seemed that even the Empress Luo Shan was not honest in her sleep when Bai Qing and Chen An were together, she was eavesdropping the entire time.

She just hadn't spoken up.

But when she heard something she was interested in, she couldn't help but speak up, "Foreseeing the future, if I remember correctly, there is only one thing that can do it."

"That girl has obtained the inheritance of the Destiny Scripture!"

"The Destiny Scripture?"

Bai Qing remained silent, just silently noted down the name, "What is that?"

"It is a top-tier inheritance in the world."

Empress Luo Shan spoke, "From ancient times to the present, many people have obtained the corresponding inheritance of the Destiny Scripture, but they are not complete."

"If that girl can have the power of foreknowledge, it is likely that she obtained a part of the inheritance of the Destiny Scripture, otherwise it would not be possible to achieve this level."

"Indeed."

After hearing this, Bai Qing also furrowed her brows.

Indeed, there were all kinds of wonders in the world.

She thought that even someone like Empress Luo Shan, who had been dead for countless years and could continue to exist and even attempted to possess others for another life, was already unique enough.

She didn't expect there would be a special existence like the Destiny Scripture.

She relayed what Empress Luo Shan had said to Chen An, and unsurprisingly, he was equally shocked.

"Such an inheritance exists in the world."

Chen An couldn't help but be surprised.

Previously, he had speculated about Liang Yao's situation.

But he had thought that the situation on Liang Yao might be a unique ability, just like his own upgrade template, both were unique powers.

But now, hearing this, he realized that this was actually a unique inheritance.

This was quite something.

The Destiny Scripture could break the fate of the world and see the future.

In other words, if the Destiny Scripture was cultivated to a profound level, everyone could possess foreknowledge, as if everyone had an extra cheat code for predicting the future.

How could others play with this?

It was truly extreme.

"It's not that simple."

In contrast to Chen An, Bai Qing had calmed down by now.

From Empress Luo Shan's words, she had learned more information and understood that this situation was not possible.

"This top-tier inheritance is extremely strict to cultivate."

She spoke softly, "Moreover, since ancient times, the inheritance of the Destiny Scripture has been scattered far and wide, and few people have obtained it."

"If someone who does not meet the requirements obtains the inheritance of the Destiny Scripture, even if they get it, it is mostly useless and can only guard the treasure mountain in vain."

"Indeed."

Chen An nodded his head.

Thinking about it carefully, it made sense.

If an inheritance like the Destiny Scripture was so easy to cultivate, it would probably have dominated the world ages ago, leaving no room for competition from others.

And judging from Liang Yao's appearance, the Destiny Scripture was not omnipotent. Although it could predict some parts of the future, it could not know everything.

"She has various treasures on her, and even if I were to take action against her, there is no absolute certainty."

Chen An spoke, candidly expressing his thoughts.

If possible, he actually preferred to take action, but he simply did not have full confidence in capturing Liang Yao completely.

And once she escaped, it would be equivalent to tearing up their faces, which would create additional trouble in the future.

"You are right."

Bai Qing nodded, "For such people, if you can't kill them with one blow, it's best not to act."

"If you want to go after her, I will fully support you."

Chen An looked at Bai Qing and said so.

He had not forgotten the scene where Liang Yao had sent someone to attack Bai Qing.

Although it was not a good choice to take action against Liang Yao, being assassinated ultimately affected Bai Qing.

If Bai Qing wanted revenge, he would fully cooperate.

"No need."

Bai Qing looked at Chen An, "Instead of seeking revenge, I am more interested in the alternate realm she mentioned."

Chen An nodded and continued speaking, revealing the information he knew one by one.

Of course, he did not know much, most of it was what Liang Yao had told him.

But for the two of them, this basic information was enough.

After listening to Chen An's account, Bai Qing lowered her head in contemplation.

On the surface, she looked as if she was lost in thought.

However, in reality...

"Agree to her!"

In her mind, the voice of Empress Luo Shan sounded again, sounding very excited, "Follow this woman and go to that alternate realm together!"

Her attitude was too enthusiastic, to the point that Bai Qing was somewhat suspicious.

After all, from her experience, anything that Empress Luo Shan was interested in was usually not a good thing.

"Don't worry, this time I don’t intend to harm you."

Helpless, Empress Luo Shan had to explain.

Empress Luo Shan had been dead for many years.

To return to life, she needed to find a body that matched her own and take it over before she could continue on the path of cultivation.

Bai Qing was originally her target.

This target was originally very suitable, not only in terms of various conditions but also in terms of talent, it was more than suitable for possession.

The only problem was, she was just not cooperating.

Well, in fact, it was more than just a matter of cooperation.

Bai Qing never even gave her a chance.

Compared to others, Bai Qing was overly vigilant, causing Empress Luo Shan to try to hide in Bai Qing’s body for so long without finding any opportunities.

The few opportunities that she did have were all disrupted by Chen An.

This was really frustrating.

However, in the original situation, as long as she continued to be in the current environment, even if Bai Qing was difficult to deal with, Empress Luo Shan would have no choice but to proceed.

After all, this world was still in the early stages of transformation, and the natural energy of Heaven and Earth had not yet recovered. She needed to find a body that was top-tier in talent and perfectly matched her own to possess under such conditions.

Without Bai Qing, she might not find another suitable candidate.

There was simply no choice, she had to go for it.

But now, the information provided by Chen An seemed to give her a completely new choice.

To go to another realm where the energy was flourishing!

In a realm where the energy was flourishing, there were bound to be many outstanding talents, and the spiritual bodies that were almost extinct in this realm, could possibly be found everywhere in another realm.

If she could go to the other realm, Empress Luo Shan could find a new candidate without being restricted by Bai Qing.

"This is the best choice."

Empress Luo Shan was excited and persuaded, "I must find a suitable body to continue cultivating, otherwise I will die sooner or later."

"If I continue to stay in you, the best outcome for both of us is mutual destruction."

That was the truth.

If Empress Luo Shan continued to stay in Bai Qing, the ultimate outcome would be either she possessed Bai Qing or she perished in the end.

The former, of course, does not need to be elaborated on; if someone is possessed, they would naturally have no future.

The latter may sound good, but the process definitely won't be pleasant.

Because, like a trapped beast fighting back, especially an ancient monster that had survived for so long?

Even if Empress Luo Shan ultimately perished, she would definitely not let Bai Qing live in peace and might even directly disable her.

This was the ending where both parties were harmed.

Instead of that, it was better to cooperate and go to the alternate realm together.

In doing so, Bai Qing could cultivate in the alternate realm, even gaining the assistance of Empress Luo Shan.

Empress Luo Shan could find a new body with Bai Qing's assistance and continue on the path of cultivation.

This would be a win-win situation!

"How can you guarantee?"

Bai Qing finally was moved.

After all, the current situation was very clear.

If she continued to oppose Empress Luo Shan, the future outcome would be far from pleasant.

Her experiences during this period had already proven this.

Thinking about it carefully, she had lost her cultivation during this period and even experienced madness and frenzy; her experiences were terrible enough.

But if Empress Luo Shan continued to stay in her, the future would be even more troublesome.

Although cooperation was an option, trust was an issue.

Cooperation was one thing, but vigilance was also important.

Otherwise, with one slip-up, she might lose everything, with no chance to start over.

"Weren't you trying to cultivate that ancient method?"

Empress Luo Shan's voice continued to sound, "In the days to come, you continue to cultivate and directly use this ancient method to refine Qi."

"As long as you refine your Qi, can't you be at ease?"

The body required for possession must be a highly compatible one, and it was quite stringent.

How strict was it?

Even if the two people cultivated different methods, the type of Qi they refined would affect the success rate of possession.

This was why many people preparing for possession would play the role of grandparents; because this was the only way to ensure that the final body that was created was appropriate.

If one somehow refined the wrong type of Qi due to improper cultivation, the result would be akin to being wasted.

This was unacceptable.

So, in essence, as long as Bai Qing could refine Qi on her own, and it was Qi different from what Empress Luo Shan cultivated, then there was no need to worry about this issue.

"That ancient method?"

Bai Qing furrowed her brows, puzzled, "Didn't you say that the ancient method was incomplete and couldn't be cultivated anymore?"

After bidding farewell to Chen An, she didn't just hide to avoid trouble, but went to a place she had long known about, an ancient location.

In that area, she obtained an ancient Qi cultivation method, intending to use this method to refine Qi, thereby breaking free from Empress Luo Shan's entanglement.

However, it seemed that because this ancient method was too old, there were some problems.

No matter how hard Bai Qing tried to cultivate, she couldn't refine the Qi according to the method's instructions and obtain her own Qi.

Externally, it seemed that this situation wasn't unusual.

After all, this was an ancient method that had been lost for many years. Who knew if there had been errors in the transmission or if the current environment was suitable for cultivation.

But now, hearing what Empress Luo Shan said, things seemed a bit more complicated?

Could it be?

Bai Qing suddenly had a thought and realized the possible reason behind her failure.

"That's right."

At that moment, Empress Luo Shan admitted frankly, "You failed to cultivate successfully because I interfered."

The current environment of this world was indeed not suitable for cultivation.

No matter how hard the average person tried, it was impossible to refine Qi in the current conditions.

However, the term average person did not include talents like Bai Qing.

For talents like Bai Qing, who was supreme in talent, it might be difficult to achieve high accomplishments in the current environment, but it shouldn't be too challenging to refine Qi alone.

The actual reason Bai Qing failed to cultivate successfully was because of Empress Luo Shan's secret manipulation.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

In the past, Empress Luo Shan had secretly manipulated Bai Qing to have her internal Qi dissipate automatically and even control Bai Qing's body to do certain things for a short period.

Since those things were achievable, then subtly interfering with Bai Qing's body to prevent her from cultivating Qi successfully should have been a simple manipulation.

She was just too subtle about it, to the point that Bai Qing hadn't been able to detect it, and in the end, she attributed her failure to the environment.

Realizing this, Bai Qing's face turned dark.

"What's wrong?"

In front of her, Chen An's voice sounded puzzled.
