"Are Blade Beasts creations of Spirit Cultivators?"
"Sorry, I cannot answer that."
"Are Spiritual Ability Users intentionally created by the civilization of Spirit Cultivators using humans?"
"Sorry, I cannot answer that."
"Are you playing us, right?"
"Sorry, I... uh."
Seeing the wisp of black qi swirling around Wang Jixuan's sword finger, the Old Man Illusion hurriedly corrected himself:
"I'm not playing you, please stay calm, mysterious Cultivator!"
"What I must say is that I am just a gatekeeper protecting the Inheritance, and the information I have is limited. Plus, I cannot disclose certain information without the permission of the civilization of Spirit Cultivators because I am just a gatekeeper."
"It's a kind of... encryption of civilization."
Wang Jixuan said leisurely, "Whether you are a gatekeeper or a Spirit Cultivator, we need to verify that ourselves, not just take your word for it."
