"I know a thing or two. I didn't know any of this before, but the Welcome Pavilion gives us targeted training before we become reception envoys, so I picked up a bit," Senior Brother Suffering nodded and said. "Why do you ask, Junior Brother Lin?"
"It's like this—do you know what happens to the Inheritors when Cloud Terrace Island is opened?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Inheritors? Aren't they just tools for opening Cloud Terrace Island?" Senior Brother Suffering blinked, then said, "Don't you use the Inheritors to get onto the island? Generally speaking, once the Inheritors have opened Cloud Terrace Island, they're finished."
"Finished? What does that mean?" Wei Zhao's heart lurched, and he asked hastily.
"Cloud Terrace Island—to protect the interests of the local disciples on the island, they can't let too many cultivators from the secular world come up, so they set up an obstacle: the Heaven's Gate of Cloud Terrace Island," Senior Brother Suffering explained. "Only the top experts of the secular world can get onto the island. And the seven Inheritors, though they too are top experts, are generally used up along with the inheritance medium—the opener—to keep too many people from getting on. When they endure the Heaven's Gate of Cloud Terrace Island releasing the pressure of all the elemental powers, their spiritual sense and mental power are already drained dry. After Cloud Terrace Island opens, they fall into an unconscious state. Generally speaking, they're nothing but tools of sacrifice for these top experts to get onto the island. But that doesn't mean all the Inheritors and the medium fall unconscious—last time a few Inheritors still came up... Of course, all this is just hearsay. For specifics, you'd have to ask someone at the elder level to get a definite answer!"
"What!" Wei Zhao had never imagined the truth of the matter would be like this. Though he had guessed some of it before, hearing it from Senior Brother Suffering's own mouth still left him uneasy.
Yaoyao, Xiaoshu, Tang Zhi, Xiaoxiao, Xiao Jiu, Guan Xin, Bing Tang—they had all collapsed. Perhaps they too had fallen unconscious only so as not to be hurt. They must have feared for their own safety and held nothing back, and so they had all passed out, just like Yu Xiaoke before.
Yet this also set Wei Zhao's mind at ease. If it was merely the depletion of spiritual sense and mental power under the pressure, then it was much like Yu Xiaoke's case, and Zhang Lifeng should be able to save them.
At this thought, Wei Zhao nodded and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Ku. I understand now."
"Mm, Junior Brother Lin, cultivate well. After the matter of the spirit jades, Meng Jueming won't have any other ways to target you for the time being. Work hard on your own. In the contest a month from now, get a good result and take these people down a peg!" Senior Brother Suffering encouraged.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best." If only for Yu Xiaoke and Gu Mengyao and the others, Wei Zhao had to strive hard! To go to the central island of Cloud Terrace Island and find Zhang Lifeng, he first had to secure a foothold on the north island.
Without a certain status and voice, he probably wouldn't even know how to get to the central island.
"Then I'll be off. If anything comes up, come find me!" Senior Brother Suffering said, pointing to a mountain opposite Wei Zhao's cultivation cave dwelling. "I'm on that mountain over there, cave dwelling number nine..."
"All right..." Wei Zhao could not help but feel a little helpless upon hearing this. The Welcome Pavilion had three pavilion masters and six steward senior brothers, and Ku was in cave dwelling number nine—wasn't that exactly ninth place? So it seemed his was the very last cave dwelling!
