Chapter 1131 - 611: How Much Is It Worth?
If it were anyone else, they would surely burst into laughter. However, he understood Yin Jiu You, just as Yin Jiu You understood him. This was indeed something that, including Yin Jiu You, the ancient demon immortals might do. It seemed cold-blooded, unusual, but once one’s cultivation reached the God Realm, especially when only a step away from the True God Realm, when it’s difficult to progress further, what these divine beings and divine beasts valued most was the understanding of the Dao, mastering creation. As for past grievances, past feuds, they matter little in the face of the temptation of advancing one’s realm, mostly it can be written off. Enemies turned allies, intimate Daoist couples becoming foes, this was commonplace in ancient times.
Yesterday’s events are likened to yesterday’s death, today’s stories likened to today’s birth. Speaking of it matter-of-factly, it points not only to a formality, but a demeanor, broadmindedness and cultivation manifestation. The relationship between the White Tiger and him, Yin Jiu You and him was also like this.
Unfortunately, this time Yin Jiu You miscalculated him.
"I know you don’t believe, so let me first show my sincerity." Elder Bian sighed, "If I recall correctly, you should have discovered your little pet’s soul is already incomplete, right?"
Changtian’s body immediately tensed, his eyes flickering with gold light. Yin Jiu You was an expert in soul cultivation, possessing the ability to see souls, Ning Xiaoxian burning the divine soul to drive her body, indeed couldn’t escape his notice. However, now that he brings it up, could it be...
Because of this sudden thought, his heart started beating faster, with a hint of panic, a trace of caution, fearing the newly birthed hope was too tender, easily crushed by harsher realities.
He must have lost his composure on his face, for Elder Bian’s eyes flashed with a knowing gleam as he looked at him. He forced his voice to sound as cold as before: "I’m listening."
"I possess most of Yin Jiu You’s abilities, so I can see that your gaze on me, besides anger, holds something else. Hmm, I guess, is it due to your little pet having died? Turns out, you truly liked her!"
"How about we make a deal like three thousand years ago? Rest assured, the conditions attached to this deal are of no consequence to you, you’ve always managed them with ease. And the reward, well, it’s quite abundant. At our current realm, we act entirely based on our own judgment, solely valuing whether it’s worth it or not." Elder Bian suddenly laughed:
"Do you think your little pet’s life is worth much?"
Calling her a little pet repetitively was truly irritating. Changtian squinted at him: "You do realize, regardless of whether this so-called deal comes to fruition, you’re undoubtedly doomed, right? Yin Jiu You kept you alive to show a bit of sincerity, to let me vent my anger by tormenting you."
Elder Bian’s face went ashen, his smile vanished entirely.
Changtian appreciated his expression, then said: "Since he left you here, it shows you’re now useless to him. Although you possess his memories and some of his divine skills, you aren’t him and can never become him; if I’m not mistaken, Yin Jiu You would never let you wait for me to come, instead wants you to wait for me inside Bai Yujing, is that right? But there’s still a few thoughts of living on your end, hoping I’d be trapped inside Bai Yujing, unable to escape, so you came back to this courtyard, correct?"
He said coldly: "Hmph, a mere discarded pawn dares to speak to me in such a tone?"
Elder Bian finally suppressed his expression. Indeed, he followed Yin Jiu You’s order to stay but it didn’t mean he was willing to die; even ants strive to survive, let alone he, a wise Life Soul? Ba Snake God, even amid his fury, could still think calmly, indeed a formidable opponent, the original analysis was not erroneous. At this moment, besides humiliation, he felt a worry for his own life.
He took out a dull, insignificant black wooden piece, placing it on the table. It seemed peeled off a big tree but bore a tender bud. Changtian recognized it as the Soul Nourishing Wood, which Ning Xiaoxian had also obtained from Duanmu Yan.
Elder Bian spoke: "This is Soul Nourishing Wood, since the Divine Monarch possesses the God Demon Prison, presumably there are also plantings in the soil. However, this piece of Soul Nourishing Wood is ancient, at least over ten thousand years old, nourished in the deepest part of the Sea Eye for years on end, thus the soul resides within best. Ning Xiaoxian’s residual soul is incomplete, ordinary Soul Nourishing Wood cannot sustain her, only placing her here will prevent her soul from continuing to scatter."
