Chapter 352 So That’s It
Bailey confessed these things to Simone not only because he despised lying but also because of his immense strength.
If Simone had any ill intentions towards him or harbored any evil thoughts, he would be able
to sense it.
Given the difference in their strengths, he naturally wouldn’t allow her to live.
Of course, she was also the opportunity for him to break free from his restraints, which was another reason.
Simone asked, “Bailey, can you tell me why you merged with this city? If I know the reason, maybe I can help you find a solution.”
Bailey replied, “Since you already know so much, there’s nothing for me to hide. Over eight hundred years ago, an outside race invaded this city with the intention of annihilating it. I was born in this city and had just returned from a journey to visit my relatives. So, I used mystical arts to kill the invaders who wanted to massacre the city. But it also exposed my identity as a geomancer, and they hired a powerful shaman to deal with me. At that time, I was only twenty-six years old and had not yet reached the Divine State. But my opponent was already in that realm, so we fought. I used the secret techniques passed down by my sect to enhance my cultivation of the Divine State temporarily. And in order to protect this city from annihilation, I chose to perish with him. Who would have thought that I would leave behind a glimmer of life and fall into a deep sleep? When I woke up again, it was already three hundred years later, and my age, appearance, and organs had not changed. I became an immortal, forever stuck at the age of twenty-six. My cultivation also broke through to the Divine State. But I discovered that I could no longer leave this ancient city. In these few hundred years, I have raised my cultivation to a level close to the peak of the Divine State. Only then could I move within 300 miles of the ancient city.” That’s why I was able to follow you to the hospital outside the ancient city last time.
Simone nodded, “So that’s it. The reason you didn’t die and your physique changed must be related to this ancient city. I’ll think of a solution and let you know. Or perhaps I’ll decipher the jade clasp and find that so-called opportunity. I’ll pay special attention to see if there’s anything that can help you.”
In fact, she had already figured out how to help Bailey.
As long as she taught him a set of techniques she knew, and he used them to refine this ancient city, he would be able to break free from his restraints.
This kind of refining technique would not affect or harm the people inside or outside the city.

But for now, she couldn’t tell Bailey.
After all, she was not yet at the Divine State, so how could she know this kind of technique? It was important to be cautious. What if she revealed it and he had other intentions? She would only expose herself once she could confront him.
So, she would need to come up with a legitimate reason to bring it up later.
For example, she would awaken the map inside the jade clasp and find a way there.
By then, she could tell him that she found this technique there so as not to raise suspicion.
Bailey always felt like Simone knew something.
But he didn’t believe that someone of her age, strength, and knowledge would know a way to help him break free from his constraints.
He looked at her and said, “Alright, then I’ll wait for good news!” He promised, “As long as you can help me break free from the constraints of this city. I owe you a great favor.”
It had been so many years since he could leave the ancient city, and he was very uncomfortable.
After learning to use electronic devices, he realized that the world outside had changed a lot in the past hundred years.
So, he wanted to go out and see what the outside world was like now.
