Chapter 162.1: Spiritual Energy Is Poisonous
Having failed to get the answer he wanted, Qi Yuan felt a trace of disappointment. He eagerly stared at the woman in white. "How many Great Venerables are there in the Canglan World?"
It wasn’t every day that he encountered someone worthy of being his white moonlight. How could he not fleece her thoroughly?!
The woman in white said in a deep voice, "There could be some, or there could be none. Even Great Venerables could only hide away from the world in the face of the Great Calamity. Whether they exist or not, what difference does it make?"
She had already given up on the Canglan World. Only by abandoning it and taking that path could she find a sliver of hope for survival.
The woman in white urged once more. "Fellow Daoist, why not travel with me and leave this land of strife?"
Treading alone on such a treacherous path would be extremely difficult. Yet Qi Yuan merely smiled and said nothing, clearly expressing his stance.
The woman in white could not help but sigh. "Fellow Daoist, haa... Even Great Venerables chose the safest route."
Qi Yuan could not help asking, "Is the Great Calamity really that terrifying?"
"It’s already a great terror in itself." The woman in white raised her head, gazing at the star-studded sky. "What’s even more terrifying is that there are immortals above it."
She had lived in the Canglan World for nearly ten thousand years. Though she had never encountered a Great Venerable, she could faintly sense them lurking around. Once news of the Great Calamity spread, they did nothing, retreating like turtles into their shells. They feared both the Great Calamity and the immortals above it. After all, if immortals were to descend, how could the Canglan World hope to resist them?
Qi Yuan also gazed at the starry sky. His gaze lingered briefly on the moon, his thoughts circling. A sudden melancholy arose within him.
In the next moment, his eyes lit up. With eager anticipation, he turned to the woman. "Big Boss, since you're leaving the Canglan World anyway, do you have things you don’t need anymore? Why don't you do a clearance sale?"
