Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 476 - 378: Eye of Boundary

Upon hearing Hertz’s question, Zhao Yi’s expression didn’t change.

He explained seriously, "My friend didn’t come over, and I also have similar troubles. Moreover, this surgery might carry risks. I’ve decided to experiment on myself first. If this method proves feasible, I’ll recommend it to him for surgery, so he won’t be disappointed."

Hertz, who clearly hadn’t heard the phrase ’making something out of nothing,’ felt quite moved after hearing Zhao Yi. He emotionally remarked, "I didn’t expect the common folk in the Cultivation World to have such deep friendships. It’s truly astonishing!"

Zhao Yi’s mouth twitched.

Had it not been necessary to use this old fellow, Zhao Yi would have certainly pounded his head in.

Zhao Yi retorted irritably, "Sir Mage, calling others common folk is hardly gentlemanly behavior!"

"You know what a gentleman is?" Hertz was obviously more surprised.

Zhao Yi nonchalantly replied, "What’s so strange about that? What is a gentleman if not a group of hypocrites? It’s nothing to make a fuss over."

Upon hearing Zhao Yi call him a hypocrite, Hertz’s expression instantly became solemn. "You common folk are so rude. How can you insult a noble gentleman like this? It’s just too impolite!"

Zhao Yi, upon hearing this, scoffed, "Not only are you hypocritical, but you also have double standards! You say I’m rude for calling you a hypocrite, yet you yourself loudly call us people from the Cultivation World common folk. I can’t see where your manners lie!"

Hertz, hearing this, was initially stunned and then rendered speechless.

He opened his mouth, attempting to explain that people from the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds all referred to those from the Cultivation World this way.

But recalling Zhao Yi’s earlier heroic act of risking himself for a "friend," he found himself unable to utter the words "common folk."

In fact, since interacting with Zhao Yi, Hertz realized that compared to people from the Spirit Realm and the Magic World, Zhao Yi’s conduct was more akin to that of a noble gentleman.

Zhao Yi was polite and gentle, spoke elegantly, and acted calmly and methodically.

If common folk were like this, then how high must be the moral standards of the Cultivation World? How base must be the people from the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds who repeatedly called them common folk?

Zhao Yi had no interest in sitting and debating with Hertz here.

The only reason he had rebuked the old man earlier was to intimidate him into doing his job properly.

Seeing that Hertz had been silenced by his words, Zhao Yi knew his objective had been achieved and changed the subject, "Sir Mage, are you ready? If so, let’s set off!"

"I’m ready," Hertz nodded instinctively.

Then he suddenly realized, "Ready for what? Where are you planning to go?"

Hertz once again raised his magic staff, eyeing Zhao Yi warily, warning, "Before I complete the task entrusted by the Sages, you are not allowed to go anywhere! Though you are quite... unique... different from those I’ve seen from the Cultivation World before. But if you dare to defy the previous agreement, I will still act to kill you!"

At these words, Zhao Yi curiously asked, "Have you met others from the Cultivation World?"

"Of course!"

Hertz, upon hearing Zhao Yi’s words, recalled something, and his expression showed disdain.

He disdainfully said, "Your Cultivation World always has people ascending to the Spirit Realm. After arriving there, they lack spine and actually pledge allegiance to the Spirit Venerables, acknowledging those Evil Spirits as masters—simply disgraceful and lowly!"

Zhao Yi’s face grew solemn, a sharp glint in his eyes.

The secrets about the Cultivation World were something the protagonist learned from the Sage of Time in the Treasure Tower Secret Realm of the Buddhist Sect.

The Cultivation World was sealed by the Spirit Realm because the Six Great Sects sold out the Cultivation World for the sake of six Divine Artifacts.

Since then, cultivators from the Cultivation World have found it nearly impossible to break through to the Tier Ten Void Realm.

The Six Great Sects were different, however. They sold out the Cultivation World, yet their disciples could secretly ascend—a vile act indeed.

But from what this Elder Mage implied, even in the Spirit Realm, people from the Six Great Sects aren’t well-respected; otherwise, they wouldn’t be reduced to serving as lackeys.

"If I’d known those people were in the Spirit Realm, I wouldn’t have come to the Magic World so soon,"

Zhao Yi’s face turned solemn, his gaze fierce.

The people from the Six Great Sects have betrayed countless Holy Spirits of the Cultivation World for tens of thousands of years.

Even if they serve as lackeys in the Spirit Realm, they’ve caused the people of the Cultivation World to be regarded as common folk by the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds.

Since the Zhao family controls the power of the Cultivation World, this vendetta must be avenged.

And as for those six Divine Artifacts held by the Six Great Sects, 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

other than the Treasure Tower Secret Realm of the Buddhist Sect, the remaining five are also in the Spirit Realm.

These Divine Artifacts were acquired through the sacrifice of countless lives from the Cultivation World and must be reclaimed to suppress the fortunes of the Cultivation World.

Seeing Zhao Yi suddenly go silent, Hertz cautiously asked, "Boy, what do you intend to do? I warn you, do not act rashly! The Magic World is under the watch of the Eye of Boundary by several Mages. If you run around recklessly, you might attract the attention of those Mages, which would truly be a dead end for you!"

The Eye of Boundary?

Zhao Yi curiously asked, "What is that? Is it formidable?"

"The Eye of Boundary isn’t something you describe as formidable or not!" Hertz shook his head. "The Eye of Boundary itself has no magic power; it’s a tool used by Mages to observe and probe the entire Magic World!"

Hertz finished speaking and warned, "The Eye of Boundary is related to magic power. The more Mages you come into contact with in the Magic World, the more sensitive the Eye of Boundary’s response will be, making it more likely to attract the attention of the Mages."

As Hertz spoke, he glanced up at the sky, a trace of trepidation and envy in his eyes.

"Mages are invincible in the Magic World!"

Hertz said earnestly, "I don’t know what decision has been reached on the side of the Spirit Realm, but the Sage-level edict clearly states to kill anyone coming from the Cultivation World! If the Eye of Boundary marks you, the Mages will surely take notice. Even if they don’t act themselves, they will send endless followers to kill you, and then you’ll surely meet your end!"

Zhao Yi didn’t take the threat of the so-called Mages to heart.

In fact, if those Mages don’t come looking for him, Zhao Yi still intends to seek them out.

If he doesn’t kill a Mage or two, how can the Nine Dragon Seal complete its final transformation?

So, unless those Mages refrain from acting, if they dare come, Zhao Yi will undoubtedly ensure they leave without returning.

Compared to the Mages, Zhao Yi was more curious about Hertz’s change of attitude.

He curiously asked, "You seem to have little respect for those Mages of the Magic World?"
