Chapter 920: Chapter 788: The World of Geniuses

Halfway through Granny Jia’s words, the Paranoid coldly snorted, ”Shut up!”

There was a faint pressure fluctuation in the air, ”Dare to disclose my information, believe it or not, I’ll make you wish you were dead, Jia Shuqing?”

Granny Jia guessed the origin of the Paranoid, while the Paranoid called out Granny Jia’s real name.

By rights, there is more than a hundred years between the two, they shouldn’t be this familiar.

Careful calculation shows, when the Paranoid went into seclusion and disappeared, Jia Shuqing should have been under a hundred years old.

However, ordinary people don’t understand the circle of prodigies, not anyone with enough strength can enter that circle.

As long as the potential is big enough, even if the strength is not enough, one might still be noticed by that circle.

——Once someone grows up with enough strength to enter the circle, they can also become a partner for cooperation,

the Paranoid particularly doesn’t value strength——not entirely irrelevant, but he cares more about talent and insight.

Jia Shuqing made a name for herself when she was young, with stunning talent, possessing the potential to soar.

Not inferior at all to the Paranoid when he was young... well, in the Paranoid’s own view, there is still some difference.

In the eyes of prodigies, there are truly very few similar people, sufficiently excellent people can be known across star realms.

Strictly speaking, the difficulty for the Paranoid to recognize Jia Shuqing is lower than for her to recognize him.

The reason is obvious, how many Supreme exist in the entire Imperial? As a junior, Jia Shuqing has many Supreme to look up to.

But the Paranoid is different, the Supreme he notices are very few.

Legitimately outstanding among juniors he actually prefers to pay attention to, especially the exceptionally outstanding.

So after chatting with Granny Jia for a while, he skimmed through the outstanding juniors in his memory... a female with Water Attribute?

The Hope Star Realm is a very young star realm, thinking about related information, Jia Shuqing that girl, seems quite flamboyant too.

Comparing both sides, plus she almost shouted out his origins, he could guess pretty closely by now.

Qu Jianlei was astonished upon hearing, ”You can recognize this?”

Paranoid instinctively waved his hand, ”You wouldn’t understand the world of geniuses... alright, not saying you.”

He blurted out this, and afterward remembered this is a genius even more monstrous than himself and Jia Shuqing.

Once Granny Jia guessed who it was, her attitude also changed dramatically.

When this senior was active, most of the Supreme had to look up to him, and that was already two hundred years ago.

In front of such a monstrous level senior, some of her persistence might really be mistaken.

She carefully observed the other party for a while, then respectfully asked, ”Is your current state caused by the Reverse Divine Cultivation?”

This question asked was quite embarrassing, the Paranoid did not really want to answer.

But Rhodiola rosea the informed person was beside him, in the end, he sighed and shook his head, ”Not completely...”

”I considered the shackles of natural attributes, to better achieve All Attributes affinity, I actively dispersed convergence during Breaking Through.”

”Disperse...convergence?” Granny Jia listened and was dumbfounded.

Although it’s just five words, she knows too well what kind of risks this implies.

After a moment of silence, she slightly shook her head, ”I thought I was already very persistent, but in terms of madness...I’m truly no match for you.”

”I’m just paranoid!”; The Paranoid had a serious expression, explaining earnestly, he disliked the word ”madness.”

Then, he shook his head, profoundly stating, ”But there’s no choice, the road ended, I’m not willing to only live three hundred years!”

Granny Jia still looked shocked, ”In that situation, the senior managed to survive, it’s truly admirable!”

The words were not pleasant, but the Paranoid indifferently nodded, ”Almost couldn’t make it.”

Then he glanced at Qu Jianlei watching the scene, ”Fortunately this guy appeared, helped me find a body.”

’Taking over the magpie’s nest’ is considered unethical in the Imperial, but common morality and customs can hardly restrain the Supreme.

In Blue Star’s chaotic land, there’s no shortage of knife-wielding kidney-snatchers, the rules for the powerful aren’t the rules for the ordinary.

Granny Jia was also knowledgeable and worldly, upon hearing she even thought of a specialized term, ”Is it body possession?”

Similarly, she’s not some model of morality, though upon thinking of this term, she still felt uncomfortable.

Apart from the difficulty of body possession, the Supreme have high self-esteem, thinking of themselves entering another’s body, she felt it hard to accept.

The Paranoid nodded, he most enjoyed seeing others’ incredulous expressions, which brought him great satisfaction.

He casually stated, ”He caught a Gold Attribute Supreme for me, erased its spirit.”

Capturing a Gold Attribute Supreme alive... such news no longer surprised Granny Jia.

She had clear recognition of the combat power of Panda, he is Attributeless, even at A-level he dared plot against Supreme Steve.

Though he was inexperienced at the time, he had the guts to attempt, finally succeeding with her help.

Now he’s already Supreme, capturing a Supreme alive is normal, even if the other is renowned for strong combat power Gold Attribute.

However, the phrase ”mental erasure” surprised Granny Jia a bit, ”The carrier won’t be damaged?”

Look at this question, it doesn’t even consider that the Gold Attribute Supreme is human, directly treating it as an object.

The Paranoid nodded, this was his proud handiwork, unfortunately, Rhodiola rosea hadn’t asked about it before.

He also had a need to show off his capabilities, and replied nonchalantly, ”This is indeed a difficult point.”

”Anyone who wants to learn from my path to breaking through will find it hard to overcome this barrier. I have my ways... but they cannot be replicated.”

It’s not that he doesn’t want to teach; experience and talent aren’t something that can be easily learned.

Granny Jia wasn’t thinking of replicating it either, to be honest, she really couldn’t get past her own inner barrier.

But for her, since the other party was willing to discuss the details of breaking through, she was of course happy to ask more.

”Senior, during my past attempts to break through, I also encountered problems that were difficult to handle. I wonder if you are willing to enlighten me a bit?”

”No need for that,” the Paranoid replied casually; he really spoke according to his whims.

”You’ve already failed, and at your age, it’s impossible to break through again, just accept it.”

Listen to that, is that something a decent person would say?

”I still want to understand,” Granny Jia gave Qu Jianlei a pleading look, a very determined one.

”Being able to pass on my line of thought means I haven’t come to this world in vain; I must leave something behind.”

Qu Jianlei remained silent for a moment before slightly nodding, ”People with ideals are indeed admirable.”

This was his stance; the Paranoid rolled his eyes helplessly upon hearing it, knowing he couldn’t refuse this request.

In fact, he also had a bit of a tendency to enjoy being a teacher, but unfortunately, the concept of ”information barriers” was already ingrained.

He spoke without much enthusiasm, ”Ask if you want, but I can’t guarantee that what I say will be correct... after all, you follow the path of inner cultivation!”

Jia Shuqing really began asking questions, with Qu Jianlei listening silently, not making a sound.

The Paranoid seemed eager to hear him speak, frequently sneaking glances at him.

But how could Qu Jianlei speak? Once he started, it would certainly be heavily focused on cultivation theories.

As for pulling out some ambiguous theories and babbling... with the knowledge these two had, it wouldn’t be enough to provoke further questions.

The Paranoid indeed wanted to extract something from him; initially listening somewhat inattentively and responding casually.

But the more he listened, the more serious his expression became, and his responses slowed down.

Finally, he couldn’t help but comment, ”The concept of inner cultivation does indeed have merit... impressive how thoroughly you’ve considered everything!”

How could it not be thorough? Granny Jia listened, feeling a bit speechless. Wasn’t she aiming to reach beyond the Supreme? Could she be that reckless?

However, she also knew this guy spoke as he pleased, so she wouldn’t mind.

”... At that time, I also adopted some appropriate outer cultivation techniques, just two auxiliary methods, but I focused more on spirit refinement.”

”Then that’s your mistake,” the Paranoid promptly commented, ”Spirit refinement should...”

He abruptly stopped midway, as if stumped by something.

Granny Jia wasn’t surprised, this situation had occurred more than once, and the other’s dismissive words about inner cultivation kept slowing down.

”I believe one should pursue the right balance, but unfortunately, this balance point is too hard to grasp.”

”Indeed, very hard to grasp,” the Paranoid nodded in deep agreement, ”It lacks universality, it completely varies by individual!”

If they set aside the differences in their philosophies, they would indeed have a lot to talk about.

But then he frowned again, ”But something’s amiss, about the differences in vital energy... how did you manage it?”

”How else?” Granny Jia answered expressionlessly, her tone casual, ”Just as you imagined.”

”Quite decisive,” the Paranoid nodded slightly, apparently understanding the implication, ”After all, one must take a risk.”

”Yes,” Granny sighed lightly, sounding a bit unwilling, but there was no hint of regret.

”Once it gets to that point, who could care about anything else?”

The Paranoid nodded silently; surpassing the Supreme is so difficult, once started, who could abandon it?

But then he smirked a bit, ”It’s a pity, you didn’t know him back then.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Qu Jianlei.

”Hmm?” Qu Jianlei was listening in a daze, noticed the topic had shifted to him again, and couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

”Really?” Granny Jia also looked at Qu Jianlei skeptically, ”Does he have some kind of method?”

The Paranoid chuckled, responding casually, ”I don’t know how your relationship is, so some things aren’t convenient for me to say...”

”However, if you ever see his Qi Gathering Array, you might understand something.”

Granny Jia was stunned upon hearing this; she thought for a moment, then looked at Qu Jianlei and tentatively asked, ”Is it Spiritual Qi?”
