"Junior Brother, congratulations. In just a day's time, you have undergone your first advancement from the early-Foundation Establishment stage to the late-Foundation Establishment stage. It's a pity that to transfer merit requires wasting at least half of it, otherwise, with one effort, I truly want to advance your cultivation base to Core Formation."
Li Changxi sounded somewhat regretful.
Ji Changsheng hurriedly replied, "Senior Sister, there is no need for such politeness. I am capable of progressing through the rest by myself. However, right now, I may be facing a small problem."
"What kind of problem?" Li Changxi asked.
Ji Changsheng carefully chose his words, "Senior Sister, you are aware of my past. Along the way, I could not avoid a path carved of corpses and blood."
Li Changxi nodded, "It's only natural. The 'God Sealing War' swept across the Immortal Realm with Saints personally taking to the field, involving countless powerful entities from the Human Race, the Demon Race, and the Witch Tribe all competing for 365 divine positions. At the end, 360 emerged as true gods with the five strongest becoming emperors, and Junior Brother here is one of those five emperors. For you to become a Heavenly Emperor amidst such violent tribulations, it would be odd if there were no mountains of corpses and blood."
The South Pole's Emperor Changsheng is indeed one of the Six Heavenly Court's Majesties who ascended after the 'God Sealing War'.
Ji Changsheng then realized that he truly enjoyed conversing with someone as insane as her.
Li Changxi's worldview was too complete, logically bulletproof.
How wonderful it would be if the Master of Mystic Temple and other individuals of great power were as mad as Li Changxi.
Alas.
They are too normal.
Ji Changsheng weakly continued, "Senior Sister, you know my history, so naturally, you trust me. But the others in Mystic Temple are ultimately ordinary people who could not see through the illusion. They may not understand my background. Among the disciples this year, it's rumored we have an infiltrator from the Sky Devil Sect. I am worried that someone might take this opportunity to label me as a spy of the Sky Devil Sect."
Li Changxi burst into laughter, "How could that be possible? You are overthinking it. You are certainly an unquestionable good person here in Mystic Temple. Only an idiot would think that you are a spy of the Sky Devil Sect."
Having laid bare the spectacle of the blood river earlier, Ji Changsheng was somewhat left with a lingering fright, which in turn slowed his thought process.
But having heard what Li Changxi had just said, Ji Changsheng sprang back to his senses.
That's right.
He was the one who exposed the bastard child of the Sky Devil Sect Leader.
To suspect him of being a spy of Sky Devil Sect is equivalent to praising Old Devil Yu as a saint who would forsake his own son for the collective.
This doesn't make sense.
Ji Changsheng breathed a small sigh of relief but did not completely loosen up.
Even though he has Bing Ziping testifying for him, it might be tough to cover up his blood river spectacle.
He still needs to explain himself.
Before he could figure out a good excuse, the Master's voice came from the outside.
"Changxi, open the Moon Palace Gate."
Ji Changsheng's heart sank.
Just as he had anticipated, the blood river spectacle had indeed alerted the higher ups of Mystic Temple.
The wasn't looking forward to the inevitable grueling interrogation that would follow.
Li Changxi was quick to respond.
She glanced at Ji Changsheng, her tone still as indifferent as before, "Junior Brother, do not worry, I will protect you. We were once invincible across the Immortal Realm. How can this mere illusion be an issue?"
"You're right, Senior Sister."
Ji Changsheng gradually steadied his mind.
If it's fortune, it can't be avoided. If it's disaster, there's no escaping it.
Luckily, he truly did kill the son of Old Devil Yu.
And aligned himself with Li Changxi.
The situation was far from being completely out of control.
Stay calm. I hold the advantage.
Ji Changsheng remained calm, waiting for the upcoming inquiry.
A moment later,
The Master, with a group of people, entered the Moon Palace.
Almost all eyes immediately turned to Ji Changsheng.
Then…
"He's in the late Foundation Establishment stage."
"It seems he really did tread on the path of deviation guided by Changxi."
"Evil Blood Energy has entered his body. The abnormal blood river scene earlier emanated from him."
Ji Changsheng did not make any attempt to hide as it could not change the fact that he was exposed earlier and there seemed no way anyone would actually believe that the commotion was created by Li Changxi. So he didn't argue needlessly, letting the Master see right through him.
Nevertheless, Ji Changsheng stood tall and firm, resolute and fearless in his gaze, displaying no signs of guilt.
The Master also gave Ji Changsheng a deep look, then slowly spoke, "Tell us, what was that blood river all about?"
Li Changxi sounded impatient, "My Junior Brother has killed a lot of people. Is there a problem with that?"
The Master's eyebrows shot up, "Junior Brother?"
"That's correct, I discovered that my Junior Brother is, in fact, the reincarnation of the South Pole's Emperor Changsheng from the Upper Realm. So I took him under my wing as my Apprentice, treating him as my equal, and it's now time to inform you."
Deep in her heart, Ji Changsheng silently applauded Li Changxi for her retort.
Let's not mention anything else, this impatience and dominance, it fully reflects the strength of Li Changxi.
Ji Changsheng affirmed that Li Changxi is not alive today because she's clinging to Fairy Linglong's coat tails. Instead, she has fought through relying on her own abilities.
The others though, their expressions are telling.
"Emperor Changsheng from the South Pole?"
"Has another one gone mad?"
"Like mother, like son."
"What a pity, I had high hopes for this Ji Changsheng boy."
"Who knows whether he is really mad or just pretending."
"I believe that he is, in fact, a spy sent by the Sky Devil Sect."
Other than Li Changxi, who fully believes that he is the reincarnated Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole, no normal person would.
The Master is a normal person.
Hence, he still turned towards Ji Changsheng and disregarded Li Changxi's words. He continued, "Ji Changsheng, do you have anything to explain?"
With utmost sincerity, Ji Changsheng bowed towards the Master, then said something shocking. "Master, I suggest that whoever just claimed me to be a spy sent by the Sky Devil Sect should be taken out and beheaded."
All, including the Master, gasped in surprise.
