Chapter 1899 - 1903: Unparalleled Achievement
"No, I was also worried about going too far and causing suspicion, so I was very cautious with the experiments." Bu Bai shook his head and said.
He was indeed very cautious, starting with no large-scale experiments, but doing them one by one.
Moreover, the targets he chose were randomly scattered, and he never operated in the same area.
He thought it through clearly, with so many cells here, as long as they were dispersed, the chances of being discovered were very low!
"Oh?" Lu Xiaobu’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Then, thinking it over, he said to Bu Bai, "Tell me in detail about what happened after you came to the Spirit Realm, especially after we last met."
"Okay." Bu Bai did not hesitate, and began to narrate directly.
He knew that when it came to brains, his monstrous host was more impressive!
Soon, Bu Bai finished speaking.
After all, aside from his experiment process, there wasn’t much to say!
However, he saw Lu Xiaobu’s eyebrows slightly relax.
Bu Bai sighed slightly in his heart; indeed, his host had discovered something again.
As someone involved, he knew less than this host who merely listened to information.
How could the gap be so big!
Fortunately, he was long used to it.
So, he directly prepared to listen to Lu Xiaobu’s analysis.
"I was puzzled before, how could a proper Celestial Lord, always claiming to be laying out schemes across the heavens, have only so few guards, and the guard welcoming me wasn’t even close to two hundred."
"Even if the Spirit Realm on that floor was filled with his guards, it still seems too small in number."
"Now it seems, that was deliberate underplaying." Lu Xiaobu said, glancing at the environment: "There must be at least a thousand guards just here."
"Yes, there are a total of 1,083 guards here. If you count the ones that killed me, and add me, it’s 1,100." Bu Bai nodded, showing recognition.
"And I deduced at the very beginning, and it has been proven by others too, that the entire Spirit Realm has an upper and lower layer structure." Lu Xiaobu continued slowly speaking as he deduced.
"Initially, I thought this upper and lower layer structure was intentionally created by the Celestial Lord to distinguish himself from others, making himself feel superior."
"But now it seems, maybe this structure was created by him, but the spaces in each layer originally existed independently."
"And if I’m not mistaken, apart from the space where the Celestial Lord resides and the Spirit Realm layer that was let go, the vast majority of spaces are like this one."
"What? All cells?! All have so many guards?!" Bu Bai was stunned: "How many guards would that be? Ten thousand? A hundred thousand? Or millions?"
"I don’t know the exact number either. But definitely a lot!" Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes: "Because, if nothing else, each space corresponds to an island, a core."
"Spaces corresponding to cores?!" Bu Bai was a bit confused: "Wasn’t it said that you need to develop a domain in the Spirit Realm layer to plunder energy? Is that a lie?"
"No! It’s not a lie, that’s true, but it’s just a tiny part of the entire Spirit Realm. It’s bait thrown by the Celestial Lord!" Lu Xiaobu smiled, continuing to perfect his deduction.
"The true Spirit Realm is multi-layered, each layer corresponding to a space. The idea of expanding a domain to plunder energy is correct, but it’s not so much a competition in the first layer of Spirit Realm; rather, each Mahayana cultivates their own corresponding layer."
"What about these guards?" Bu Bai’s heart skipped a beat, gradually understanding Lu Xiaobu’s deduction.
"Yes, these guards are sent by the Celestial Lord. Their purpose is to forcibly occupy each layer’s domain." Lu Xiaobu smiled, his eyes once again on those guards.
"I was wondering why there are so many Mahayana practitioners, each having cultivated for hundreds or even thousands of years, but the control over the core is still minimal."
"The fundamental reason is the existence of these guards. These guards occupy these spaces, which adds layer upon layer of shackles to the control over the core that could have been easily plundered. Coupled with the Celestial Lord completely isolating people from reaching their true layer of the Spirit Realm, this makes it extremely difficult to seize control of the core!"
"You mentioned earlier that after the Celestial Lord let go of the first layer of the Spirit Realm, this place’s cells were increased."
Hearing Lu Xiaobu’s question, Bu Bai nodded: "Yes, I saw that scene with my own eyes. At first, the cells here weren’t this small; there was still some space to move."
"There were only a thousand cells, meaning a thousand were undead guards."
"But later, that guard named Eight, forcibly compressed each cell’s space, freeing up space again, and then divided out a hundred cells, finally assigning us each to a cell, resulting in 1,100 cells and guards."

Lu Xiaobu nodded: "Hmm, that’s right. After the Celestial Lord let go of the Spirit Realm, the excess guards were brought here to suppress each layer of the Spirit Realm once more!"
"However, if I’m not mistaken, this time the Celestial Lord was too clever for his own good! Of course, if it weren’t for your existence, his method would have been completely fine!"
"Ah? What do you mean? I made a contribution?!" Bu Bai instantly became a bit excited.
"Yes, you’ve made a contribution! An enormous contribution, not to mention an unprecedented accomplishment!" Lu Xiaobu confirmed with a response.
"The Celestial Lord’s methods and ideas are correct, this obviously controls the entire Spirit Realm!"
"However, due to your appearance, because you killed a dozen guards, this compressed, extreme space rebounded to a certain extent, which led me to clearly sense the loosening of core control in reality!"
"So, I’m in the space that corresponds to our Gourd Island’s layer?!" Bu Bai was excited: "Also, the more I kill, the more you can control the core, right?"
"Yes." Lu Xiaobu nodded in affirmation again.
"Hahaha!" Bu Bai burst into laughter: "Then get ready, host, I’m about to start a slaughter! Damn, it’s my time to shine!"
"Wait a moment!" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand with a smile, he was also very pleased, this time Bu Bai indeed had made tremendous contributions: "This matter has to be approached gradually, not too fast. Your previous thinking was correct, to obtain the greatest benefit while keeping from being discovered!"
"No problem! Host, you say it, I’ll do it!" Bu Bai wore a look of heroics, look, look, now that’s making real contributions!
