Bai Ze looked at Tang Rao, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

To be honest, Bai Ze didn't believe Tang Rao's words at all, this guy was simply not credible.

"Tang Rao, do you find it amusing to say such things? Opportunities? Could it be that you'll really let me go? We're not kids anymore, so let's not bother with such nonsense. It's not particularly interesting," Bai Ze said.

Tang Rao grinned and laughed.

"Oh dear, after being locked up for a while, I've found you've become smarter than before. At least, you can see through many things and grasp their essence. So, shouldn't you thank me a bit?" Tang Rao asked.

Bai Ze: "..."

"Alright, I'll stop joking with you, I really do have an opportunity for you. It's super simple and very easy to accomplish. It's just that you only have ten seconds—that fleeting moment. You better seize it," Tang Rao said.

"I'm about to start," Tang Rao coughed.

"No need, I promise to pledge loyalty to you with an oath to the Heavenly Dao," Bai Ze nodded immediately.

Tang Rao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"What did I say, I said you've become smarter!" Tang Rao spoke, "Since you've agreed, what are you waiting for? Make your oath to the Heavenly Dao. I'm all ears."

Bai Ze was very clear about his current situation; he was at the mercy of Tang Rao, who had made a breakthrough and reached Half-step Great Perfection.

This made him even more dangerous.

Although unlikely, he really did have the chance to push for true Great Perfection. Once he reached Great Perfection, all the magical restraints placed upon him would become ineffective.

Tang Rao surely had the same concerns, so there were only two choices for Tang Rao: one, to subdue; two, to kill!

Knowing Tang Rao as well as he did, Bai Ze knew this man would never leave a disaster lingering by his side.

After the breakthrough to Half-step Great Perfection, he himself became a disaster to Tang Rao.

Even if he were in the same situation, he would choose to act the same as Tang Rao.

Bai Ze didn't play any tricks and honestly made his pledge of loyalty to Tang Rao with an oath to the Heavenly Dao.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, if you had understood earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer so much. Don't you agree?" Tang Rao said, smiling as he came forward, touching Bai Ze consecutively.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

A series of explosive sounds came from Bai Ze's body, as for the chains that bound him, they also turned to ash within the explosions.

"The feeling of freedom, it's really good," Bai Ze said, grinding his hands as his body made cracking sounds.

"That's true, no one dislikes freedom," Tang Rao laughed.

"Ah, after all the fighting, in the end, I still can't beat you," Bai Ze shook his head, his expression somewhat resigned.

"Okay now, hand it over," Tang Rao stretched out his hand.

Bai Ze looked at him with a gaze full of resentfulness, "Can't this person be stupid just once?!"

"Can't do, if I were stupid, I'd be dead, and I don't want to croak," Tang Rao said with a laugh.

A Heavenly Dao oath could only bind the current Bai Ze. Once Bai Ze stepped into Great Perfection, the Heavenly Dao oath would no longer be able to restrain him. Thus, Tang Rao needed something else.

Half of Bai Ze's soul fire.

As long as he had Bai Ze's soul fire, no matter whether Bai Ze could enter Great Perfection or not, he would be completely under his control.

Even at Great Perfection, the soul is something that cannot resist.

You can break free from the Heavenly Dao, but you cannot break free from yourself.

"Forget it..." Bai Ze shrugged his shoulders; he was already prepared.

Tang Rao is just too clever, frighteningly so.

Even I can think of that, how could he possibly not?

After getting a part of my soul fire, Tang Rao touched Bai Ze a few times, and all the restrictions were completely lifted. Bai Ze's strength was fully restored to half-step Great Perfection.

"Never imagined that one day, I could become someone on the same level as a Judge," Bai Ze mused.

"That's all thanks to me," Tang Rao muttered.

Bai Ze didn't want to admit it, but it was the truth.

If Tang Rao hadn't captured me, perhaps I would never have been able to take that step in my whole life.

Sometimes, life is just so wondrous.

"Alright, is there anything I can do to help?" Bai Ze spread his hands and asked.

"There actually is," Tang Rao nodded, "Find a chance, kill Qin Sheng, and you go become a Judge."

Bai Ze: "..."

"Tang Rao, you may not understand how the Soul Capture Pavilion works. Even if I could kill Qin Sheng, I still couldn't become a Judge, because there's Qin Moyan, the direct Judge Candidate Envoy, I'm not qualified for it," Bai Ze explained.

"Then just kill Qin Moyan too," Tang Rao said seriously.

"That won't do either, I'm not a Judge Candidate Envoy, I still can't take on the role of a Judge."

"Fuck, it's so complicated... How can I become a Judge Candidate Envoy?" Tang Rao asked.

Bai Ze was also helpless: "I really don't know about that, it's selected by the Soul Capture Pavilion through specific methods, and I don't know the details."

"Hold on, let me ask." Tang Rao snapped his fingers, activated Illusion City, and connected with Yan Wei.

"Do you know how the Soul Capture Pavilion's Judge Candidate Envoy is chosen?" Tang Rao asked.

Yan Wei was stunned for a moment, then shrugged.

"Bro, that's the pinnacle of secrets within the Soul Capture Pavilion, known to only a handful of people. Honestly, I really don't know, and it's hard to find out. But hey, you can ask Dong Xia, she definitely knows," Yan Wei said.

Tang Rao: "..."

Dong Xia, her intentions are not clear yet, and Tang Rao always feels that her strength is not as simple as he imagines.

"Okay, I got it." Tang Rao cut off the conversation with Yan Wei.

Dong Xia doesn't use Illusion City, so Tang Rao can't contact her for now.

"Let's talk about this later. There's nothing much going on recently, so just stay on the Moon, cultivate and enjoy the scenery. If you get bored, you can also visit Blue Star. But well, it's best not to go to the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains for the time being," Tang Rao said.

"That actually sounds nice. I do indeed want to see Blue Star, to see what there is that attracts you," Bai Ze laughed.

"You'll find out," Tang Rao replied, the cultivators of the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, aside from those particularly bellicose and murderous ones, should all like Blue Star, because it's peaceful, because it represents a whole new social structure.

"The show's over, time for us to leave," Tang Rao said, looking at Fang Jinxiu beside him.

Fang Jinxiu pouted, unusually silent for once and just followed Tang Rao meekly, leaving the detention room.

"You don't have any opinions?" Tang Rao asked Fang Jinxiu as they left the detention room.

Fang Jinxiu shook her head while laughing, a laugh that filled Tang Rao with curiosity.

This mischievous woman definitely has something on her mind.

"Spill it, who are we kidding? We've shared a room before, there's nothing we can't talk about..." Tang Rao pressed.

"Tang Rao, have some shame, will you? You slept on the sofa and I slept in the room, and you make it sound like something else..." Fang Jinxiu rolled her eyes.
