High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 1730 - 756: The Pact
Chapter 1730: Chapter 756: The Pact
“The complete mysteries of the operation of Immortal Heaven and Earth’s origin?” The Golden Robe God Master was taken aback upon hearing this.
Standing beside him, Commander Cang’er revealed a hint of surprise and couldn’t help but glance at Li Yuan. Such grand ambition indeed.
“Haha, interesting,” the Golden Robe God Master laughed, “You, a mere God King Realm, actually know the mysteries of the Eternal Realm’s origin operation. It seems someone is guiding you from behind. Did you get this information from the Divine Wheel Sea, or is it from the intelligence left by Beihai Supreme?”
Clearly.
The mysteries of the operation of Immortal Heaven and Earth’s origin are a huge secret, something that even ordinary Emperor Realm beings find difficult to comprehend.
“I learned it unintentionally,” Li Yuan chuckled.
“I won’t ask further about how you came to know it,” the Golden Robe God Master looked at Li Yuan. “Since you know, you should also understand the difficulty of gaining insights into the operations of Immortal Heaven and Earth’s origin.”
“I understand,” Li Yuan nodded.
This part, Little Tomb had told him before. Back in the day, when Beihai Supreme achieved the Seven-star Immortal Order, he saw it on the Immortal Divine Hall’s treasure exchange list.
To exchange for an opportunity to gain insight, it required 800 billion Immortal Merits.
This is an unbelievable price.
When Immortal Merits are scarce, their value isn’t much higher than that of Eternal Crystals. The treasures one can obtain with one billion Immortal Merits are about the same as those with one billion Eternal Crystals.
However!
For super-powerful beings, Eternal Crystals are easily obtainable. Dominators might even hope to gather over ten trillion Eternal Crystals… but every super-powerful being has a limit on the Immortal Merits they can earn, as the Immortal Divine Hall imposes many restrictions.
According to Little Tomb, whether it’s a Dominator or a Supreme, they can generally only obtain around a hundred billion Immortal Merits.
Want more?
Merely slaying Otherworldly Lives in the Immortal Heaven and Earth is no longer effective; at least conquering an Abyss Demon Cave is necessary, or even making offerings of various Cosmic Treasures.
For instance, Beihai Supreme, who once swept the Eight Great Abyss Demon Caves, only received 320 billion Immortal Merits. This also attracted the hostility of the Abyssal Will and later led to attacks from the Abyss… This shows how hard it is to exchange for such an insight opportunity.
“I can only tell you, anything is possible,” the Golden Robe God Master said, “If you can truly destroy the Abyss Demon Sea and establish the Immortal Lake within the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice, you will definitely receive corresponding rewards… Our Immortal Divine Hall has always been absolutely fair.”
“Exchanging for an opportunity to gain insights into the operations of Immortal Heaven and Earth’s origin isn’t difficult,” the Golden Robe God Master added.
He was painting a grand picture for Li Yuan.
“Do I have to wait until I come back from the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice?” Li Yuan frowned, “God Master, on the way here, Commander Cang’er did say he would first present me with some treasures to enhance my strength… Isn’t it more hopeful to complete the task if I’m stronger?”
The Golden Robe God Master looked over at Commander Cang’er.
“Heart Source Quasi-Saint,” Cang’er quickly explained, “It’s true the God Master can present you with some treasures in advance, but the operations of the Immortal Divine Hall follow its own rules and systems. Even a God Master can’t act recklessly… The treasures given to you in advance must also be within a reasonable scope.”
“Then what can I get at most right now?”
Li Yuan asked, “In the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice, there are countless strong ones, with a large group of Dominators at the very least… My strength in the Emperor Realm is not even worth mentioning, and the deepest parts of the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice were the battlefields of the Eternal Realm, filled with countless dangers… If I go blindly, who knows, I might perish entirely.”
“The risks are great, yet the gains are uncertain.”
“This is too unprofitable for me,” Li Yuan shook his head.
“God Master, Commander Cang’er, you should both know that with my talent, my potential to become a Dominator is immense, and reaching a Sub-Saint level might not be impossible,” Li Yuan candidly said, “Without clear benefits, I absolutely won’t take such risks.”
This was a negotiation.
Even though Li Yuan secretly wished to go, if the Immortal Divine Hall did not offer a clear promise, he definitely wouldn’t agree.
Life, there is only one.
“Heart Source Quasi-Saint, as I’ve said, as long as you succeed, you won’t be disappointed,” the God Master stated solemnly, “Moreover, I can also remind you, if you can do it, it will not only benefit you but also have great benefits for the entire universe by letting our Immortal Heaven and Earth gain the upper hand against the Abyss.”
Li Yuan’s heart wavered.
For the entire universe, there are great benefits? This statement hides a lot of meaning.
“God Master, what you said is too far away,” Li Yuan shook his head, “Whether it’s the Abyss or Immortal Heaven and Earth, what benefit or harm they bring to the universe is of no concern to me currently. What I need to consider now is how to become an Emperor, achieve the Supreme… only then can I hope to pursue the legendary Eternal.”
“If I don’t achieve Eternity, everything will eventually turn to nothing. Even if this is beneficial to the universe, what does it have to do with me?” Li Yuan’s eyes remained calm.
In his position, he plans his policies.
Li Yuan currently doesn’t qualify to discuss such grand topics.
The Golden Robe God Master’s face showed a trace of helplessness; he also understood that future promises alone couldn’t sway Li Yuan.
He didn’t wish to force, nor did he think force would be effective.
After all, his objective was to get Li Yuan to the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice, not to control him.
“Heart Source Quasi-Saint,” the God Master looked at Li Yuan, “Tell me, what do you require now? Whatever I can do, I will promise you.”
“I need the position of ’Cosmic Divine Guard,’” Li Yuan stated directly.
“Impossible, according to the rules, to become a Cosmic Divine Guard, at least a Six-star Immortal Order holder is required, followed by a payment of 300 billion Immortal Merits,” the God Master responded directly.
“Then I want a Top Level Emperor Weapon,” Li Yuan spoke once more, “Only then can my strength soar.”
“Impossible,” the God Master felt slightly troubled.
The conditions Li Yuan set forth were exceedingly harsh; he, despite his high status as God Master, couldn’t just randomly allocate treasured relics from the Divine Hall’s treasury.
“God Master, before coming here, Commander Cang’er described you as omnipotent, capable of surpassing the Supreme,” Li Yuan shook his head, “Yet I made multiple requests, continuously lowering my demands, and you couldn’t fulfill any of them…”
The God Master couldn’t help but glance at Cang’er.
Cang’er was speechless, showing a helpless expression… They both realized Li Yuan was employing a method to gain the upper hand in negotiations intentionally placing himself on the side of reason.
“If even a Top Level Emperor Weapon can’t be granted,” Li Yuan seemed to ponder for a moment, “God Master, then grant me a Sub-Saint’s Ultimate Skill, preferably from the Void Realm lineage.”
Li Yuan looked at the God Master.
“A Sub-Saint’s Ultimate Skill? And it has to be from the Void Realm lineage?” The God Master slightly frowned.
Immediately, a hint of doubt flashed in the God Master’s eyes, “Heart Source Quasi-Saint, among the three Top Eternal Daos you’ve developed, there’s none related to the Heart Device Dao, Fate Path, or Reincarnation Dao; even if granted a Sub-Saint’s Ultimate Skill from the Void Realm lineage, you can’t learn it, right?”
Commander Cang’er, standing nearby, also felt confused.
If Li Yuan wanted an offensive Sub-Saint’s Ultimate Skill, it would be understandable, but why a Sub-Saint’s Ultimate Skill from the Void Realm lineage?
“God Master, your information is outdated,” Li Yuan smiled.
The next moment.
Swoosh! A unique aura of the Eternal Dao suddenly radiated from Li Yuan, not particularly strong but extremely mysterious and elusive.
“Heart Device Dao?” Commander Cang’er wore an astonished expression, “A fourth Top Eternal Dao? How! How is this possible!”
“God King Realm, a fourth Top Eternal Dao?” The God Master’s eyes also flickered with a hint of shock. Who was he?
Someone standing at the peak of Immortal Heaven and Earth.
Having lived through countless eons, witnessing successive generations of Supreme talents rise and fall, he knew well what it meant for a God King Realm to develop four Top Eternal Daos.
“Please, God Master, verify,” Li Yuan respectfully said.
From the start, Li Yuan hadn’t intended to hide his development of the Heart Device Dao… The greater one’s potential and strength, the more respect one earned.
Since he was ready to stand with the Immortal Divine Hall in opposition to the Abyssal Lineage, he needed to exhibit sufficient value.
Just as Little Tomb said, the greater the value one demonstrates, the more the Immortal Divine Hall would invest in them.
“Indeed, it is so!”
“It is the Heart Device Dao.” The Golden Robe God Master’s eyes showed a complex expression, “You’re actually a Void Realm Practitioner, no wonder you request a Sub-Saint’s Ultimate Skill from the Void Realm lineage.”
“A Sub-Saint’s Ultimate Skill…” The Golden Robe God Master fell into thought.
Li Yuan patiently waited, not urging, as he understood… How difficult it was to obtain a Sub-Saint’s Ultimate Skill from the Immortal Divine Hall.
Even a Supreme had to pay a significant price.
After a long while.
“Heart Source Quasi-Saint, I agree to your request,” the Golden Robe God Master slowly said, “Our Immortal Divine Hall possesses four Sub-Saint’s Ultimate Skills from the Void Realm lineage. You may choose one to learn for free… but there is a prerequisite.”
“You can only learn the first half of it. Once you succeed and return, I will grant you the second half.”
“Additionally.”
“I can also gift you two Top Grade Emperor Weapons.”
