175 – The Devouring Immortal Demon Body

【After you joined the White Flame Divine Sect, you became an offering of the sect, enjoying a considerable salary. As a result, you temporarily settled down and began to cultivate in peace within the sect.】

【Because you kept a low profile, no one caused you any trouble. Some inside the White Flame Divine Sect who were curious about you lost interest due to your frequent secluded cultivation.】

【Just like that, a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. Despite the passage of time, you still hadn’t advanced from the first level of the Void God Realm to the second. The difficulty of cultivating in the Void God Realm was inherently greater, requiring more resources.】

【Given this situation, the elder’s salary you received was insufficient to sustain quick cultivation.】

【If this continues, you don’t know how long it will take to advance just one minor realm. Although the lifespan in the Void God Realm exceeds thirty thousand years, allowing you to slowly endure, you naturally prefer to advance your cultivation faster if possible.】

【Of course, a more troublesome matter is that you only have the cultivation method for the mortal realm chapter of the Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture and not the divine realm chapter. Because of this, you can only practice a self-created low-grade god-level technique. This way, not only will your cultivation speed be slow, but your foundation will also lag behind, and you will face the issue of having to re-cultivate in the future.】

【However, despite your headache, you had no other choice but to continue cultivating. Otherwise, if you stop cultivating altogether, hoping to somehow acquire the Emperor-level technique’s divine realm chapter, it would be a waste of time.】

【After all, the odds of obtaining the mortal realm chapter of the Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture were largely due to luck. You can’t always count on being that lucky to easily get a higher-level Emperor scripture’s divine realm chapter. Rather than pondering how to get that scripture, you might as well think about how to obtain a large amount of cultivation resources to speed up your cultivation.】

【As you were contemplating how to acquire cultivation resources and quickly advance your cultivation, the White Flame Divine Sect began to summon elders for a meeting. Naturally, you went to the main hall. Soon, you learned the reason for the White Flame Divine Sect summoning the elders.】

【It turned out that in the eastern part of the Great Origin Ancient Star, there was a secret realm abundant with divine sources and divine ores, greatly benefiting the White Flame Divine Sect. However, this secret realm was not solely owned by a single force but was jointly held by the three major forces in the eastern part of the Great Origin Ancient Star.】

【The three forces, namely the Azure Origin Divine Sect, the White Flame Divine Sect, and the Northern Snow Divine Dynasty, jointly held the key to this secret realm, opening it every thousand years to mine the divine sources and divine ores within.】

【Because of this secret realm, the three major forces were able to grow into powerful divine sects, renowned throughout the Great Origin Ancient Star.】

【Every time the secret realm opened, it was a major event for the three forces, crucial to their future development. They placed great importance on it and wouldn’t be the slightest bit careless.】

【However, this secret realm was quite special, only allowing cultivators of the Void God Realm and below to enter. Therefore, the purpose of this meeting was to decide which elders and disciples to send into the realm to mine the divine sources and divine ores.】

【Upon understanding the background, your eyes brightened with delight. Given your current strength, though not the strongest, you weren’t among the weaklings in the Void God Realm.】

【If you could mine a significant amount of divine sources and divine ores, finding ways to gain more benefits, it would greatly aid your future cultivation and allow you to grow faster.】

【However, you recollected criticizing ascenders mining when you first ascended, making you feel somewhat conflicted. Though this wasn’t mandatory mining, you still ended up on this path, leaving you unsure whether to cry or laugh.】

At this moment, the textual simulation stopped, and numerous images flooded Wang Ping’s mind. His awareness wavered, and his vision shifted, finding himself in the main hall with the comprehension from years of practice appearing in his mind.

When he regained his composure, his face twitched slightly, utterly speechless.

Alright, still need to mine… this is exasperating.

“But this time entering a state of immersive simulation passively… does that mean another branching point has arrived?”

Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he recalled this matter, his expression becoming solemn, glancing at the White Flame Divine Sect’s leader and others with the corner of his eyes.

The leader of the White Flame Divine Sect was a true deity realm expert.

To be precise, the leaders of major forces in the current Upper Realm were basically all true deity realm experts.

Experts above the true deity realm, such as those at the half-step divine monarch and divine monarch realms, were as rare as dragons, seldom appearing unless major events occurred.

“This time’s branch is likely about whether to enter the secret realm or not. However, as a guest elder, I’m likely expected to go. The role of guest elders is to be at the forefront during battles or significant events.”

Wang Ping silently contemplated.

There’s no way a force like the White Flame Divine Sect would support a guest elder without expecting anything in return.

Even if you have potential, since they’re investing resources to nurture you, you are expected to be the first to act when needed.

Going to the secret realm to mine divine sources and ores will inevitably lead to conflicts, given that interests are involved. Conflict is an immutable truth.

In other words, whether he wants to or not, he has to go, unless he plans to quit the White Flame Divine Sect.

And once he’s there, he will likely trigger some events, not knowing whether it will be fortunate or disastrous.

As Wang Ping was lost in thought, the leader of the White Flame Divine Sect began announcing the list of elders who would protect the disciples mining in the secret realm.

As expected, Wang Ping’s name was on the list.
Regarding this, Wang Ping was not surprised.

If he wanted to trigger another branch, he should politely decline at this moment. In that case, his status within the White Flame Divine Sect would surely plummet, and he might even be despised and rejected.

However, Wang Ping didn’t mind these things at all.

Yet, he was very curious about what would happen in the secret realm, so he chose to visit it, paving the way for future simulations by securing resources.

“Do any of the elders have any objections?”

The leader of the White Flame Divine Sect scanned the crowd and spoke.

Upon seeing this, the named outer sect elders and guest elders all expressed that they had no objections, including Wang Ping.

“System, fast forward for me.”

Immediately, Wang Ping spoke within his mind.

“Ding, fast forwarding.”

The System’s voice rang out again. A screen appeared, and text emerged once more.

【With the personnel confirmed, an inner sect elder at the True God Realm took the lead, and they set out for the location of the secret realm aboard a divine ship. On the journey to the secret realm, you observed the disciples of the White Flame Divine Sect who were going there to mine.】

【Mining is extremely dangerous but provides astonishing rewards. Many disciples of the White Flame Divine Sect who dare to risk their lives wouldn’t want to miss this rare opportunity. Nonetheless, mining also requires strength; otherwise, you wouldn’t even be able to dig up the ores.】

【As such, none of these disciples of the White Flame Divine Sect have a cultivation level below the King Realm. There are many with Emperor Realm cultivation, and even some true disciples with quasi-immortal cultivation. The most outstanding are the sect’s divine son and holy maiden. Being only a few hundred years old, they possess Void God Realm cultivation, a truly terrifying talent.】

【Of course, you understand that the exceptional talent of the White Flame Divine Sect’s divine son is one thing; more importantly, the resources of the Upper Realm far surpass those of the Lower Realm, hence the emergence of such powerful beings at just a few hundred years old.】

【You pay attention to these disciples not only because of their formidable cultivation, which in the Lower Realm would be considered top-tier experts, but also because the holy maiden of the White Flame Divine Sect, Lin Qinghe, gives you a very special feeling.】

【The reason for this feeling is that over the years, only Lin Qinghe, the holy maiden of the White Flame Divine Sect, has consistently sought you out and discussed the Dao with you. You don’t understand her motives or see through her, but you know that her strength is significantly superior compared to the divine son of the White Flame Divine Sect.】

【You believe that this trip to the secret realm might give you some insight into Lin Qinghe’s background.】

【While you were contemplating, Lin Qinghe noticed your thoughtful expression, smiled slightly, and many disciples showed envious expressions. The divine son of the White Flame Divine Sect, in particular, snorted coldly, clearly displeased with you.】

【The divine son of the White Flame Divine Sect, exceptionally talented and the descendant of the sect leader, has long admired Lin Qinghe, the holy maiden of the White Flame Divine Sect. In the eyes of outsiders, they are a natural pair destined to become Dao companions.】

【However, your appearance has caused Lin Qinghe, who has always been aloof, to become gentle and charming in front of you. This infuriates the divine son, who feels as if he has been cuckolded.】

【Noticing the gaze of the divine son of the White Flame Divine Sect, you are speechless and pretend not to see it. You have no intentions toward Lin Qinghe, but while you have no such thoughts, others certainly will. Women are truly troublesome, especially those at the level of ‘femme fatale,’ as they can easily bring men enemies.】

“Uh, Lin Qinghe… Although there were some scenes during the previous immersive simulation, her beauty is indeed astonishing, not inferior to Ji Bingyan at all, but I didn’t expect it to cause so much trouble.”

Wang Ping looked at the simulation content, feeling complicated.

Even though a simulated experience cannot fully replicate the reality, presenting only a rough outline, he didn’t expect such a development.

“However, according to the pattern, wouldn’t the previous branch mean that after going to the secret realm, Lin Qinghe’s destiny would change?”

Wang Ping thought of the previous branch option, frowning slightly.

Does Lin Qinghe have that much capability? Enough to create a branch option that forces him into an immersive simulation?

“Forget it, I’ll continue watching to find out.”

Wang Ping silently thought and continued to stare at the screen.

【After a long while, you arrive at the location of the secret realm. When you arrive, the people from the Azure Origin Divine Sect and Northern Snow Divine Dynasty are also present.】

【After some sarcastic exchanges between the leading elders of the three major forces, they produce keys and unlock the secret realm.】

【Once the secret realm is opened, you all enter it. Although this secret realm involves random teleportation upon entry, the three major forces have used Divine Abilities to manipulate it.】

【Disciples from different forces will be transported together, allowing for efficient mining and collection of divine sources.】

【Therefore, once you enter, no one gets lost. However, the outer sect elder leading the team this time is the divine son’s ally, and he assigns you the most dangerous task.】

【That is, to guard the outermost perimeter. If people from the other two major forces appear, you must stop them immediately, while also guarding against any sudden dangers.】
【It can be said that every time the secret realm opens, during the mining process, the outermost Void God Realm elders suffer the most casualties, especially the guest elders recruited by the White Flame Divine Sect.】

【Regarding this task, you furrow your brows slightly but say nothing and choose to obey orders. After all, in the secret realm, if you resist orders, the Divine Son of the White Flame Divine Sect will definitely pin a crime on you and find a way to kill you.】

【Although you are strong, you are not a match for many elders of the White Flame Divine Sect. These elders generally have cultivation above the seventh level of the Void God Realm, and the leading elder has even reached the Great Perfection level of the Void God Realm.】

【In the Void God Realm, fighting across realms becomes even more difficult. Even if you have cultivated the Mortal Realm chapter of the Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture, it is impossible to fight across so many realms.】

【After all, the Mortal Realm chapter of the Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture is ultimately a Mortal Realm chapter. When you were in the lower realm, it could give you a significant advantage before the Void God Realm, but now that you are in the Upper Realm, your advantage is not as great. Especially since your life-bound weapon is still just an Emperor Weapon, it can no longer keep up.】

“In the lower realm, I was barely considered wealthy, with luxurious set-up. Now in the Upper Realm, I’m a poor soul again…”

Wang Ping looked at the simulated content and couldn’t help but sigh.

This is just like that… like playing a game.

With version updates, level caps raised, changes in the levels of techniques and divine abilities, and equipment levels all updated, his previous luxurious gear, though not completely obsolete, did fall behind the times.

“Cultivation requires wealth, partners, techniques, and land. Now I don’t even have one qualified. Of course, partners are not necessary for me.”

Wang Ping muttered again, continuing to stare at the screen, wanting to see how the simulated version of himself would overcome this crisis.

After all, this situation isn’t ideal.

【Next, after various team personnel were allocated, actions began to search for divine sources and divine mines, starting the mining process while also repelling dangerous beasts in the secret realm.】

【As one of the elders stationed at the outermost areas, you face the greatest pressure, frequently having to deal with powerful Void God Realm beasts. However, your strength is formidable, and you have not yet encountered any life-threatening danger.】

【In the blink of an eye, a month has passed. During this month, even you have suffered significant injuries. Of course, this is because you deliberately hid your strength.】

【The reason for hiding your strength is that you know once it is revealed that you have cultivated the Mortal Realm chapter of the Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture, your situation will become very dangerous.】

【The Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture, even if it is just the Mortal Realm chapter, has unmatched allure. This was evident from the behavior of the Mo Family Young Master back then. He was able to produce a Sacred Weapon, indicating his family had birthed a Sacred Realm expert.】

【Over the years, you have secretly gathered information about the Mo Family. The Mo Family is a powerful family in the Central Domain, and as you expected, they have indeed birthed a Sacred Realm expert. However, after entering the End of Dharma Era, they have somewhat declined in recent years and struggle to maintain their footing in the Central Domain. They haven’t responded dominantly to provocations from certain divine sects in the Inner Domain.】

【You speculate that this is why the Mo Family, a thousand years later, risked trying to subdue the demonic weapon and obtain the inheritance of the Black Abyss Demon Lord after learning about the existence of a supreme-level demonic weapon in the Purple Spirit Realm.】

【Although the Mo Family has declined, it once birthed a Sacred Realm expert, making it more powerful than the White Flame Divine Sect. The Mo Family Young Master was so fervent, let alone other forces like the White Flame Divine Sect. If the Mortal Realm chapter of the Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture were to be exposed, your fate would not be good.】

【The White Flame Divine Sect would take action against you, and even Holy Land-level forces in the Central Domain of the Great Origin Ancient Star would target you.】

【Therefore, you remain very calm; even if faced with life-threatening danger, you do not reveal that you’ve cultivated the Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture.】

【In the blink of an eye, another half month passed. During this half month, as more divine sources and divine mines were extracted, the gathering energy became increasingly terrifying, attracting more and more beasts, with higher and higher frequency.】

【Even you, while hiding your strength, felt immense pressure, narrowly escaping being torn apart by Void God Realm beasts several times. If it weren’t for other guest elders with higher cultivation levels fighting alongside you, you would have died at least once. Within this month and a half, five Void God Realm elders have already fallen, four of whom were guest elders.】

【You can only sigh, realizing that the Upper Realm is much harsher than the lower realm. In the End of Dharma Era, a Void God Realm expert, although not at the bottom, could be considered a strong individual in the Upper Realm. However, the living environment is still not good, and one has to fight desperately for cultivation resources, with a slight mistake leading to death.】

【Of course, this specifically refers to Void God Realm experts below the fourth level. Mid-stage Void God Realm experts are much safer, and those who have reached the seventh level, stepping into the late stage, almost never fall to beasts.】

【Just as you repel beasts once again, a sudden change occurs. The Azure Origin Divine Sect and Northern Snow Divine Dynasty appear simultaneously, wanting to eradicate the White Flame Divine Sect and seize their resources.】

【This makes your expression change slightly, and without hesitation, you choose to flee. After all, the strengths of the three forces are similar, and if two forces join together against one, the White Flame Divine Sect will definitely be no match.】

【Although you are an expert of the White Flame Divine Sect, you have no deep feelings for them. Your own life is the most important.】

【Seeing you flee, the leading elders and Divine Sons and Daughters of the two forces show disdain. However, they don’t personally hunt you down but choose to send some experts to chase after you guest Void God Realm elders.】

【As you are being hunted, the experts of the Northern Snow Divine Dynasty and Azure Origin Divine Sect launch an assault on the main team of the White Flame Divine Sect. This causes the expression of the leading elders and Divine Son of the White Flame Divine Sect to change dramatically, not expecting the two forces to join hands against them.】

【Even Lin Qinghe furrows her brow slightly but quickly regains her composure.】

“Not being able to use my true strength in the secret realm is really troublesome. In the Upper Realm, there’s the helplessness of not daring to reveal my techniques. Though this was expected…”

Wang Ping looked at the simulated content and shook his head slightly.

Back on the archipelago, when he was still a rogue cultivator, he was hunted down because of a Heaven-level technique, not daring to reveal it.
Nowadays, ascending to the Upper Realm, one does not dare to reveal emperor-level techniques. This is the sorrow of a small person without any background or reliable means of protection.

“However, something indeed happened in the secret realm, and this Lin Qinghe is certainly not simple.”

Wang Ping thought of the subsequent simulation content and frowned slightly.

Facing the joint assault of two major forces, she remained so calm—did she have a good mindset, or did she possess hidden methods unimaginable to ordinary people?

Although Lin Qinghe is powerful, being a Void God Realm expert at a young age, her cultivation is only at the third level of the Void God Realm. There is still a considerable gap between her and veteran Void God Realm experts. Relying on herself alone, she couldn’t possibly turn the tide.

As Wang Ping pondered, the text continued to appear.

【Facing the assault by two major forces, the Divine Son of the White Flame Divine Sect shouted angrily, questioning if the Azure Origin Divine Sect and the Northern Snow Divine Dynasty were breaking the rules. In response, the Divine Sons of the Azure Origin Divine Sect and the Northern Snow Divine Dynasty both sneered. In this world, there are no rules; power is the rule.】

【The elders leading the Azure Origin Divine Sect and the Northern Snow Divine Dynasty also sneered, stating that the three factions occupying this secret realm together was a waste of resources; it was better for two factions to dominate it.】

【These words filled the Divine Son of the White Flame Divine Sect with anger and shock, realizing that the two factions had indeed formed an alliance against the White Flame Divine Sect. However, he couldn’t understand why they dared to do this.】

【After all, among the three forces, the ancestor of the White Flame Divine Sect was the strongest, with a cultivation at the fourth level of the God Realm, while the ancestors of the other two forces only had third-level God Realm cultivation. As long as the ancestor of the White Flame Divine Sect lived, even if the two forces joined forces to annex them, they would not have a good outcome.】

【The wrath of a mid-stage God Realm expert is not something the two forces can bear. Even if they could jointly resist him, if the ancestor waged guerrilla warfare, the two forces would have unbearable headaches.】

【Even if a newly entered God Realm expert did this, it would still cause headaches for the factions.】

【Seeing through the thoughts of the Divine Son of the White Flame Divine Sect, the Divine Sons of the Azure Origin Divine Sect and the Northern Snow Divine Dynasty laughed coldly. They had received reliable information that the ancestor of the White Flame Divine Sect had encountered a mishap, which is why they dared to test him.】

【Soon, a terrifying battle erupted here, with the power of the Void God Realm wantonly unleashed, affecting a vast area. Although in the Upper Realm, the destructive power of Void God Realm experts cannot reach the levels of the lower realm, it is still terrifying.】

【There, you kept fleeing far away to avoid being caught in the fray. After reaching a safe distance, you unleashed your true strength, decisively killing two Void God Realm third-level experts who were chasing you.】

【Unexpectedly, a Void God Realm fifth-level expert killed the other guest elders and came after you.】

【Having no other choice, you fought him. However, experts of the Void God Realm in the Upper Realm are not simple; with the opponent being several small realms above you, you were no match.】

【You debated whether to use your purple talent: Destiny Connection, but ultimately decided against it. This trump card should be reserved for real prodigies or God Realm experts; using it on a Void God Realm fifth-level expert would be a waste.】

【In the end, you were killed by this opponent once. After your death, the Void God Realm expert greedily tried to search your body. He had witnessed the power of the Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture and the Incinerating Heaven Emperor Fist, and despite having limited knowledge, he knew that these were formidable techniques and divine abilities.】

【As he greedily searched your body, you triggered the Red Talent: Death Whisper, suddenly unleashing a terrifying strike beyond your limits. Caught off guard, the Void God Realm expert was hit and died on the spot.】

【An hour later, you resurrected and, after counter-looting, started thinking about your next move.】

The text simulation stopped here. Wang Ping’s mind was filled with many images and insights, and his vision shifted back to the secret realm.

“Again, I have to choose. Should I keep running or go back to join the battle?”

Wang Ping looked into the distance, sensing the terrifying shockwaves of the ongoing battle, frowning slightly.

If he joined the battle over there, the chances of dying once were high, and the chances of dying twice were not low.

Of course, if he used his purple talent: Destiny Connection, in theory, he could change the course of the battle.

After all, once this talent is activated, as long as it’s connected to the elders leading the Azure Origin Divine Sect or the Northern Snow Divine Dynasty, it would be like adding a Void God Realm Great Perfection expert to the White Flame Divine Sect.

If he then launched a sneak attack, the chances of the White Flame Divine Sect counterattacking would be substantial.

But, what great benefit would that bring him?

None.

“Better to head over there and see, trying to reap the benefits as a third party. If Lin Qinghe has some hidden means and a mutual destruction scenario unfolds, I might get involved and gain a lot.”

“Of course, the benefits are secondary. I don’t expect to make it far in this simulation. The key is to trial and error, gather intelligence, and understand future trends.”

Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he made his decision, concealing his aura and quickly flying back.

After flying back, Wang Ping saw an astonishing scene.

Because the battle was one-sided.

However, it was not the joint forces of the Azure Origin Divine Sect and the Northern Snow Divine Dynasty overwhelming the White Flame Divine Sect’s cultivators, but the other way around.
To be precise, almost all the people from the White Flame Divine Sect had died, and then Lin Qinghe, the Divine Maiden of the White Flame Divine Sect, burst out with her true power. She began a massacre against the strong cultivators of the two major forces.

The cultivation level she displayed had shockingly reached the terrifying Seventh Level of the Void God Realm. Her combat prowess was even more terrifying, and the experts above the Seventh Level of the Void God Realm from the Azure Origin Divine Sect and the Northern Snow Divine Dynasty couldn’t withstand even a single move from her.

Even cultivators at the Great Perfection level of the Void God Realm were severely injured and coughed up blood after taking a move from Lin Qinghe… They looked at her in disbelief, their faces filled with horror.

‘This woman is terrifying…’

Wang Ping watched Lin Qinghe’s battle with a face full of apprehension.

At the same time, Wang Ping couldn’t understand why Lin Qinghe had hidden her combat strength, waiting until almost all the people from the White Flame Divine Sect were nearly dead before revealing her true power to commence the massacre against the people from the other two major forces.

While Wang Ping was contemplating, Lin Qinghe swiftly finished off the people from the Azure Origin Divine Sect and the Northern Snow Divine Dynasty, her white clothes stained with blood, exuding a certain violent aesthetics.

‘Cough, cough… As expected of Junior Sister Qinghe, truly powerful. Junior Sister, please save me quickly.’

The Divine Son of the White Flame Divine Sect lay on the ground, his breath weak, coughing as he pleaded for help from Lin Qinghe.

Faced with the pleas of the Divine Son of the White Flame Divine Sect, Lin Qinghe walked over and sighed, ‘I didn’t originally want to kill you, but you saw things you shouldn’t have. Besides, I’ve had my eyes on your essence for a long time…’

After saying this, under the astonished gaze of the Divine Son of the White Flame Divine Sect, Lin Qinghe killed him with a single slap.

Next, Lin Qinghe turned her gaze towards the place where Wang Ping was hiding and coldly said, ‘Elder Wang, come out.’

Wang Ping was silent for a moment, then calmly came out, knowing it was impossible to escape.

After all, he still had the trump card of ‘purple talent: Destiny Connection,’ so he wasn’t afraid of Lin Qinghe.

‘Are you from the Demon Sect?’

Wang Ping looked at Lin Qinghe and spoke in a solemn tone.

Lin Qinghe’s methods were no different from those of the Demon Sect.

She was clearly like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind… just waiting for everyone to die so she could seize their essence.

‘Elder Wang, you’ve cultivated the ‘Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture: Mortal Chapter’, haven’t you?’

Lin Qinghe didn’t answer Wang Ping’s question but licked her lips and affirmed.

‘So what if I have? So what if I haven’t?’

Wang Ping replied in a deep voice.

‘The ‘Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture: Mortal Chapter,’ has great allure to me as well… Could you please hand it over to this little girl?’

Lin Qinghe smiled brightly.

‘If I hand it over, will you spare me?’

Wang Ping asked calmly.

‘Of course not… I’ve had my eyes on your essence for a long time. The essence of a Void God Realm cultivator who succeeded in practicing the Emperor’s Scripture is far more useful than that of ordinary cultivators. There’s no way I would miss it.’

Lin Qinghe spoke slowly.

‘So, this was your purpose in approaching me?’

Wang Ping sighed.

All his previous guesses were wrong… All those thoughts that Lin Qinghe was in danger were utter nonsense. This woman was a venomous snake, extremely dangerous.

Entering the secret realm meant death.

Coming here also meant death.

This was the true meaning of the choices.

‘Of course. For someone like me who possesses the Devouring Immortal Demon Body, the essence of strong cultivators and geniuses is the most alluring thing…’

Lin Qinghe spoke slowly.
