Chapter 1724 Look For Him Bitterly
On a lake.
The moonlight was bright, and there were occasional naughty fish appearing on the surface of the lake, making it sparkle under the moonlight.
The willow forest beside the lake gently swayed in the wind, one person facing the lake, his back facing the willow forest.
She raised her head to look at the moon, only to see a woman behind her.
The sound of footsteps could be heard from within the willow forest. The person who came knelt on one knee and clasped his fists did not dare to make a sound.
She turned her back to that person and finally spoke after a long time. "How far have we found out?" She said.
The visitor respectfully said, "The progress is very slow. In the past ten years, we have been following your instructions and traveled to as many as 119 planes. One hundred and twelve of them possess martial arts."
"Among these 112 planes, there are 97 planar universes with martial dao as their supreme being."
"Including the Six Emperors World, there are a total of 3,597,744 people named Bai Muchen."
"Of these, 3,597,720 were males and 24 were females."
"We also plan to explore 150 planes in the next 10 years."
The woman sighed. She still did not turn around and said, "Are all the 3.59 million people named Bai Muchen still alive?"
The visitor shook his head and said, "Some have already died for thousands of years, some have died for tens of thousands of years, and more than 1.3 million people are still alive."
The woman said, "In your opinion, how many years will it take for a person to turn into an artifact spirit after he dies?"
The visitor answered seriously, "We have interviewed many experts in the Profound Dao about this question, but the answer we received is not optimistic."
"After a person dies, the transformation of their soul into an artifact spirit is already rare. Perhaps it will take several decades or even tens of thousands of years, but there is no definite number."
The woman's back slightly trembled as she said in a trembling voice, "Can you be more detailed?"
The visitor took out a pamphlet and flipped it open. "Two years ago, we visited a Grand Master of the Mysterious Dao. He gave us some valuable explanations," he said as he looked at the pamphlet.
'"When a person dies, he doesn't have any memories during the period between becoming an artifact spirit. Therefore, in his own opinion, perhaps he just died and turned into an artifact spirit in an instant."
"If a person becomes an artifact spirit after ten thousand years of death, then ten thousand years would be a flick of his finger for him."
"Therefore, this artifact spirit is unable to tell you the exact time of his death. What he said is only his own subjective consciousness."
The woman sighed and said, "In retrospect, Lao Bai's comprehension of martial arts is quite deep, but his understanding of martial arts techniques is not high."
"There are two possibilities. One is that he died very young. He has a good comprehension of martial arts, but he hasn't come to cultivate advanced martial arts yet."
"The other is that his comprehension of martial arts is extremely high, but he was born in a low-grade world. There are no high-grade martial arts techniques in his world."
The visitor nodded and said, "Both of the situations you analyzed are reasonable, but they are too broad."
The woman said, "How is the Bai Clan doing in the Six Emperors World?"
The visitor said respectfully, "I've been trying to find a way to infiltrate the Bai Clan for the past few years, but the Bai Clan's position is strict and its rules are clear. It won't be easy to find out."
"We tried our best to peek at the Bai Clan's genealogy, but in the past 5,000 years, Bai Muchen has never been registered."
"Furthermore, the Bai Clan's martial dao is passed down to Bai Wuya, and Bai Wuya is the enlightenment of the modern martial dao system. Even a six-year-old child of the Bai Clan who has just practiced martial dao, the basic martial arts he cultivates are profound and mysterious, which is seriously inconsistent with the artifact spirit you described."
The woman said, "Is it possible that it is a distant relative of the Bai Clan, so it is not registered."
The visitor shook his head, "The Bai Clan's genealogy records every member of the Bai Clan in detail. Distant relatives are also among them, and they are not named Bai Muchen."
"But …"
"But what?" The woman asked.
The person who came replied, "On the other hand, there is a member of the Bai Clan who is not on the record. Not long ago, Bai He used the world sound transmission to appeal to the world's Bai Clan to produce a traitor surnamed Bai. Now, he thinks of himself as Xiang Nan. This person once caused a great disturbance in the Bai Clan's ancestral worship ceremony. He …"
The woman waved her hand and interrupted, "There is no need to waste any more time investigating this person. Old Bai is already dead. The person I asked you to investigate is Bai Muchen, but he has been dead for more than ten years."
"Yes." The visitor nodded.
The woman sighed and said, "Looks like Lao Bai is indeed not the bloodline of the Bai Wuya clan."
"Then, let's narrow it down a bit. What if the millions of people you've found named Bai Muchen die within ten or a hundred years?"
"There is a person named Bai Muchen. He was born in the Five Continents Realm of the Second Plane. The Profound Sky Sect was once called the number one genius in the starry sky, but he disappeared twelve years ago."
The woman's voice trembled, "Is it possible that he is Old White?"
The visitor shook his head and said, "At first, he was our biggest suspect, but after careful investigation, the chances of finding out that he is your artifact spirit are zero."
"Why?" The woman asked, "The Five Continents Realm proves that the martial skills he has learned are not brilliant, and the title of the number one genius under the starry sky is precisely the condition that matches Old White's extremely high comprehension of martial arts."
"His death happened to be over ten years old."
The visitor said, "Because this person appeared three years ago."
The woman sighed, her disappointment overflowing in her words.
"Three years ago, on the Five Continents World Beast Spirit Island, a large-scale sect-to-sect battle broke out, and Bai Muchen's corpse appeared on the spot."
The woman said, "Didn't you say that he appeared? Are you referring to a corpse?"
The visitor respectfully said, "Please listen to me. We seriously suspected that this person was your artifact spirit. However, according to witnesses who had personally experienced the Battle of Beast Spirit Island, Bai Muchen's corpse was lifelike. Not only did it not show any signs of decay, even his meridians were open."
At this point, the woman no longer spoke. She knew what this meant.
The visitor continued, "The meridians are not flesh and blood meridians, but soul meridians. After dissecting a martial artist, we are unable to discover the existence of such a thing as meridians. It is the imprint of the soul, just like the stars in the night sky."
"In this regard, we have specifically asked the top Profound Dao Grand Grandmaster. He once said that after a person dies, his meridians will completely disappear. At most, they will not last for more than ten days."
"This speaks volumes. We have every reason to believe that Bai Muchen from the Five Continents World was secretly imprisoned twelve years ago."
"Three years ago, on the eve of the outbreak of the Beast Spirit Island's battle intent, he was executed and his corpse was brought into the Beast Spirit Island."
"In other words, the actual time of death of Bai Muchen from the Five Continents Realm was within one to three days before the Battle of Beast Spirit Island broke out three years ago."
The woman said, "Then, is there anyone who can forcefully extend the meridians of a dead person? What if his corpse was refined into a puppet a long time ago?"
"The possibility of forcefully extending his meridians is zero. As for the puppet, Bai Muchen's corpse's meridians are unblocked, but he has no talent at all. This means that he is indeed dead, and he has just died."
"Puppets also have talent. Only the truly dead will lose all their talent."
The woman was unwilling and said, "Who is the Grand Martial Grandmaster you asked?"
"Two years ago, we found Old Man Mo Ling from the Six Emperors World. He said it himself."
The woman finally gave up and sighed, "Since even Mo Ling said that, then it shouldn't be wrong."
The person who came said, "Mo Ling is a wondrous person. Even if the Bai Clan asks him for help, he has to lower his voice. His words are equivalent to the final judgment of the Profound Dao World."
