Chapter 663 Discussion
"How to deal with it?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying replied: "Ascending will cause the realm to surge, which cannot be hidden. After the revival of Xuanmen, every ascension has been recorded. For example, Immortal Yun Yi ascended 24,000 years ago. When he arrived in the upper realm, it was obviously not what it is today. It was after one of his retreats. He said that he retreated for more than 3,000 years... For the specific time, we have to ask Immortal Yun Yi. When we get to Luoxia Secret Realm, we can see if we can get the specific time from him."

He said: "So, if we find the monks who ascended during that period and identify them, we can roughly determine Chi Lin's identity."

Jiang Mei nodded and said, "He should be interested in this as well."

"Can the gods cultivate immortality?" Li Chuan asked.

"It's hard to say, but if he hadn't gone to the fairyland, I think, even if Immortal Weng had contact with him, the fairyland would not have become what it is now. Being there or not is completely different." Jiang Mei said.

"Maybe I was wrong. It was Immortal Weng who led him to immortality," said Li Chuan.

"That will also be recorded." Jiang Mei said.

"There is another possibility, parasitism." Wen Guying said, "He parasitized a cultivator, or maybe not a cultivator, but one of them who survived to the end. In this case... the sect he joined is probably a relatively small sect. Parasitism or not may not be visible on the surface, but over time, the abnormality cannot be concealed."

"Before, it was what I saw in my dream, the scene of Chi Lin escaping here. Xuanmen had a way to find him," Li Chuan recalled, and said, "But... they seemed to think that one of them was him, and the others were cultivators enslaved by him, but in fact, they were all him. Didn't this method pass down?"

"Yes, the entrance examination of Xuanmen includes similar methods. Both large and small sects have them. Moreover... the current Xuanmen was established after the great catastrophe of gods and demons. Our most basic skills include skills to fight against both gods and demons. Everyone has practiced them. However, Mo Ling and Chi Lin are too special. Brother Li, you are the only one who knows the parasitic methods and has fought directly with Chi Lin's clone," Wen Guying asked very carefully, "In your opinion, what are the characteristics of his parasitic skills?"

"Well..." Li Chuan thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to explain clearly."

"You don't have to tell me." Jiang Mei said.

"No, there's nothing I can't say. It's just that it's hard to describe in words, and I can't show it to you. Let me think, how to say it..." He thought for a moment before speaking, "Tianyin Pot, all the methods I use rely on the pot sound of the Tianyin Pot, but Chi Lin doesn't need it, but the principle is similar, that is, try your best to let the pot sound, let the spiritual consciousness... There are two situations here, one is to let the opponent's rhythm be incorporated into your own rhythm, and the other is to respond to the opponent's rhythm. I usually choose the first one, and I feel that Chi Lin... is the second one, but it's not accurate either. He is more like a shadow, a shadow, clinging to the undulating cracks."

"As for the clone in the blood pool, it's not a clone, it's just a shadow, a shadow that can control the host. It's different from the parasite of the White Walkers. The White Walkers parasitize, and it's also a shadow at first. It responds to the original soul and then replaces it. And after the replacement, it can't realize that it's no longer the original self... Maybe, maybe at a later stage, it will realize this, but judging from the performance of the villagers of Xialin Village and the monk Guan, and his final choice, they really regard themselves as the original people."

“According to what you said, the White Walkers can reach perfection, but the hosts parasitized by the Gods will have loopholes in their minds and characters, making it difficult for them to ascend.” Wen Guying said.

"Then it's not parasitism? Or is it the immortal Weng who led us there?" Li Chuan asked.

"Could it be that the one who ascended was a normal cultivator, and he just followed him up?" Lao Xiaokai expressed a different opinion.

"Magic weapon." Jiang Mei said.

"There are very few magic weapons that can be taken to the immortal world by cultivators. Most cultivators will choose to leave their magic weapons in the mortal world after ascending to heaven and pass them on. If that's the case, the scope will be even smaller." Wen Guying said, "That makes sense. Chi Lin was forged into a magic weapon and then taken to the upper world."

"Do you know who it is?" Li Chuan asked. "We are not sure yet. Once Immortal Yun Yi confirms the time, we can probably limit it to two or three people." Wen Guying said.

"Are we leaving tomorrow?" Li Chuan asked.

"Well, tomorrow, we will go to Luoxia Secret Realm first to meet Immortal Yun Yi, and then go to find Senior Sister Yao. Maybe Senior Sister Yao will be there too." Wen Guying said.

"Do we have a way to catch the clone who escaped from Youxi Valley?" Li Chuan asked.

"When he wakes up this time, he will definitely meet up with the demon spirit, so if we keep an eye on the demon ruins, we might be able to find them." Wen Guying promised Li Chuan, "Leave this matter to Xuanmen, you don't have to worry."

"Okay." Li Chuan said. Although he didn't hold out much hope, he still said, "After I go to Luoxia Secret Realm, I will return to the capital and see if I can find something to do in the monster-slaying mission."

"I suspect that there may be some hidden story behind the collapse of the secret realm of Huai'an Mountain eight thousand years ago." Jiang Mei said, "There has always been a force that has been preventing the White Walkers from entering the world and disrupting Chi Lin's plan."

"The collapse of the secret realm of Huai'an Mountain led to the early appearance of the spire. The immortal Yun Yi descended to the mortal world, causing the Frost Leaf Sect to completely fail before it became a force to be reckoned with. There was also Tianzhu Chang Xiao. We were even involved in the follow-up to the Tianzhu incident."

Jiang Mei also looked out the window and said, "But no one in Xuanmen has noticed the existence of this power. I have searched everywhere but found nothing."

"A swordsman in official robes." Li Chuan said.

"There is currently no substantial evidence to prove his existence," said Jiang Mei.

"Tiansu, the temple of the heroes." Wen Guying said.

"It's possible." Jiang Mei said.

Li Chuan suddenly remembered the death scene at the bottom of the lake in the Shenxia Temple. He said, "What the Shenxia wants to do is to replace the Way of Heaven with the Way of Tao? And... there are also strange ghosts hiding in it..."

He felt extremely absurd and puzzled, "Why?"

"White Walkers." Wen Guying said.

"What happened to the White Walkers?" Li Chuan asked.

"Both the God Hero and Chi Lin need White Walkers." Wen Guying grasped the key point. He said, "All along the way, we have been tracing the past of the Gods, but have not delved into the role played by the White Walkers. Perhaps... the White Walkers are the key."
