Chapter 471 The Old Man Who Comes with Me, Bai Ye

"Is the world... being sped up?"

Knowing exactly who was involved, Jiang Zhiwei looked to her right with a sense of unease.

To her right, on the shoulder of the young Shaolin monk Zhen Ding, sat a man sitting leisurely.

The man is only the size of a palm and is somewhat different from a real person.

Compared to real people, they look more like chibi-style cartoon characters from anime, with a cute and adorable art style.

Looking at the chibi-style man on Zhen Ding's shoulder, Jiang Zhiwei thought she was hallucinating. Hesitantly, she asked, "Is it Senior Bai in person?"

"It's me." The cartoon character raised its eyebrows and had a distinct smile on its lips.

Because of the simple cartoon style, even the slightest facial expressions appear extremely obvious.

"Because the waters of this world are a bit deep, directly pausing the world might alert others."

"So right now I'm just keeping your time separate from the rest of the world, and after we're done talking, I'll put you back into your original world."

Bai Ye spoke slowly and deliberately, making Jiang Zhiwei understand her situation.

"The chat group really is real, isn't that what you were thinking?" Bai Ye's chibi-style face showed a mischievous smile.

Under Jiang Zhiwei's wide-eyed gaze, Bai Ye casually waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I didn't read minds, it was just normal speculation."

"After all, in a chat group where you can only see messages and there's no sign of any supernatural phenomena, the likelihood of suspecting that the other side is a telecom scammer is higher."

"It's fortunate that you didn't report my news to your teacher directly, and kept it to yourself for two months, which was somewhat unexpected."

Bai Ye jumped off Zhen Ding's shoulder and walked step by step towards Jiang Zhiwei through the void.

They stopped when they were about a foot apart. Bai Ye looked the stunningly beautiful girl in front of him up and down, his chibi-style fingers stroking her rounded chin, nodding occasionally.

Even Jiang Zhiwei felt a slight chill run down her spine from that scrutinizing gaze, as if she were being watched by a ferocious beast.

"I've made up my mind!"

Bai Ye suddenly spoke, causing Jiang Zhiwei to look confused: "What has Senior decided?"

"To be honest, I mainly came here to relax."

Bai Ye, with her chibi-style hand outstretched, said, "Actually, I haven't even thought about why I came here. After all, you don't really need my help with anything. In the end, all problems will disappear."

"But now I have an idea." Bai Ye put his hands behind his back and said mysteriously, "I have three techniques: upper, middle, and lower. It depends on which one you want to learn."

"What are the three methods of upper, middle and lower?" Jiang Zhiwei couldn't help but ask.

"The highest Dharma name is Ambrosia, which takes one step to break through the Dharma body, transcend legend, and reach the realm of creation. From then on, one is indestructible and immortal."

"The Chinese name is Eight Steps to Heavenly Dragon: one step is the Dharma Body, two steps are the Legend, and three steps are the Creation. After completing all eight steps, one will realize the Creation Fruit."

"As for the lower method, it is called diligent study without laziness. It is specially selected for those who are not naturally gifted. One day of external vision, one month of Dharma body, three years of legend, five years of creation."

As they spoke, Bai Ye looked at Jiang Zhiwei and asked, "Which of these three methods—upper, middle, and lower—would you like to choose?"

Listening to Bai Ye's description of the Dharma Body as easily as drinking water, Jiang Zhiwei suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

When did the renowned Dharma Body become so relaxed? Even knowing what happened in the chat group, Jiang Zhiwei still didn't quite grasp the reality.

"Senior, are you going to teach me?" Jiang Zhiwei couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, I'm just killing time anyway, so I might as well teach for fun." Bai Ye's tone was nonchalant, and he genuinely treated this as a pastime.

At this moment, even Jiang Zhiwei couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart when faced with the options presented by Bai Ye.

After all, this is different from the selection ability on Zhihu and Tieba. Based on Bai Ye's performance in the chat group, he really will give it after you type 1.

"Which one do you think I should choose, senior?" Jiang Zhiwei asked.

"I think you should choose the lower method," Bai Ye said decisively.

"That's only right." Jiang Zhiwei nodded in agreement, saying, "The breakthroughs in the Upper and Middle methods were too rapid, resulting in a shallow foundation, which is detrimental to the path ahead."

"Huh?" Bai Ye looked at the girl with a puzzled expression and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Hmm?" This time, it was Jiang Zhiwei who was puzzled: "Wasn't that the reason Senior asked me to choose the lower method?"

"It's not as complicated as you think. The foundation of the upper, middle, and lower methods is the same. As long as you reach the required level, you can make up for any insights and understandings in an instant in the face of the infinite computing power of the higher level."

Bai Ye explained, "The main reason I came here is to have fun. I have plenty of time, so I'll let you go straight to the Creation Realm. Other powerful figures aren't blind; they can all see that."

"If it attracts the attention of other powerful beings on the other side, the same old routine will appear again."

"First, the other side coveted it, then the other side made its move. The other side had a high chance of winning, and then the other side typed GG."

Bai Ye scratched his head and said honestly, "I want to play for a longer time this time. I really don't want to finish this world on the first day. That would be too unchallenging, and it would be boring to keep repeating the same old routine."

"So this time in the world, I wanted to create a kind of old man with a personal aura or something. You just wanted to play in this world a little longer, not to achieve some kind of superficial realm or anything like that."

"Actually, my original idea was that if you chose the Upper Law and the Middle Law, I would go back in time and let you choose again, and keep cycling until you voluntarily chose the Lower Law."

Jiang Zhiwei: ……

After listening to Bai Ye's long description, even Jiang Zhiwei fell silent.

He felt that this senior in front of him was much different from the other elders from prestigious sects he had met before.

"Since you've chosen this method, then it's settled. I don't need to do anything else."

Bai Ye smiled and said, "Next, you can return to the normal timeline and face the cycle of reincarnation with them."

"I will also offer some guidance during the process, so there is absolutely no need to worry about anything going wrong."

As soon as Bai Ye finished speaking, the entire silent world immediately resumed its flow.

Before them, Qingjing and the young monk continued their argument, while the composed Senior Brother Zhang mediated the conflict, and everything seemed to proceed as usual.

But only Jiang Zhiwei knew that everything seemed to have changed.

The biggest difference is that, which no one can see, sits on Zhen Ding's bald head in a cute cartoon style.

"First, you need to exchange a cultivation technique with the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation for me," Bai Ye said from the side, her voice audible only to Jiang Zhiwei.

"By the way, you can just think about it in your mind, and I will hear your thoughts."

"So Senior Bai really did use mind-reading on me," Jiang Zhiwei couldn't help but think.

Then, Bai Ye's slightly amused voice rang in the girl's ear: "Mind reading and all that? No way."
