Chapter 925: Condition
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The sudden words caused the smile on Jue Qingzi’s face to freeze. His expression changed, and the corner of his mouth began to twitch. He looked at Yan Wanqiu holding a chicken leg and felt rather disappointed in his heart.
He had never thought that the apprentice sister on whom he doted so much would surprisingly drop such a slap on his face in front of others. Soon though, the disappointment in his heart turned to despair.
Even after staying in this small world for so many years, he wasn’t able to contest for godhood. When he came, he was at late stage of passing tribulation, and now he was still at the late stage of passing tribulation. His cultivation hadn’t advanced in the least, so all the time had passed in vain. When Jue Qingzhi thought about it, he sighed.
“Junior apprentice sister you won’t understand,” he said with regret in his voice. “There’s a saying that sometimes insisting on obtaining something is useless and one should let nature take its course. Master also once said—”
“Father said that cultivation is the path of defying the heavens. What we need, we must obtain it at any cost. If we don’t have something, we should snatch it from others. Otherwise, we will end up becoming martyrs.”
Yan Wanqiu nibbled on the chicken leg with an expression of satisfaction on her face, but her eyes were looking at her senior brother with firmness.
Li Yunmu listened to the conversation between the disciples in front of him with a smile on his face. Suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, and he looked at Jue Qingzi.
“Brother, if you want to obtain godhood, I can help you contest for it. But you should know that there’s a price for it. After all, there’s no free lunch in this world. If you want something, you must be ready to give something up.”
The moment he said that, Jue Qingzi’s expression changed, and a powerful presence erupted from his body.
“Like I said…”
Yan Wanqiu saw that Jue Qingzi was about to repeat his words again, and she threw away the chicken bone. She then turned to Li Yunmu and sincerely asked, “If I speak, can you help me become an immortal?”
Li Yunmu looked at Yan Wanqiu and earnestly replied, “If you speak, I swear to help you become an immortal. Even if you cannot become an immortal, I will definitely make you a god.”
He wasn’t lying. Although he wasn’t clear about Goumang Real World’s cultivation system, he could still guess that the so-called late stage passing tribulation which Jue Qingzi was stuck in should be the half god stage of the Origin World.
Previously, when he revealed his god level presence, Jue Qingzi had blurted out that he was a true immortal, which indicated that true immortal should be equivalent to god realm. And if Yan Wanqiu would really explain the cultivation secrets of Goumang Real World, he would naturally help her become an immortal.
But if he could not do it, he could still take out a godhood from the Origin World to help her become a god.
“Junior apprentice sister… this a traitorous act, you know that, right?” Jue Qingzi shouted out in anger.
His voice was so loud that even the red immortal cranes became somewhat unsettled. Dong Tongtong and Tong Dongdong sitting at the back, revealed alarmed expressions, and they desperately grabbed the feathers of the red-crowned cranes so that they would not fall down.
Yan Wanqiu pulled her hair back without paying any attention and disdainfully said, “Senior apprentice brother, from the time you told him about Goumang Origin World, you become a traitor. Furthermore, why can other powers collaborate with the gods of the Origin World, but we can’t?
“You shouldn’t believe that the Alliance is sacred, or you will harm yourself. Look at your own situation. Once others say it is for the Alliance, you who should contest for godhood instead help them in obtaining it. Apart from a single line of gratitude, what else have you ever received?”
The girl’s words were like nails, and when Jue Qingzi heard them, he felt a hole opening up in his heart, and it was very painful. But although the words hurt, they were indeed the truth.
For many years, he had been acting as a helper for others. Could it be then that it was for this reason that his junior apprentice sister, who previously adored him greatly, began to avoid him?
Jue Qingzi lowered his head and began to contemplate.
Yan Wanqiu looked at Jue Qingzi’s actions and slightly shook her head. She then shifted her gaze to Li Yunmu and said, “Since you have agreed to my request, I will tell you about the cultivation of Goumang Real World. But I have one more condition!”
“Speak.”
Li Yunmu’s gaze flickered as if he had sensed something.
“As a condition of exchange, you must assist my senior apprentice brother in obtaining a godhood in the remnant of gods. I had checked, and it has the metal attribute which is most suitable to our cultivation. On top of that, you must also tell us about the cultivation methods of the Origin World.”
A calm expression was on Yan Wanqiu’s plump face as she bluntly put her requests forward.
Li Yunmu could help snatch the godhood, but why did she need to understand the secrets of the cultivation methods of the Origin World. He had thought that the people of Goumang Real World had obtained them as well as martial and divine skills of the Origin World a long time ago. After all, Jue Qingzi said that he could sense the difference between the people of the two worlds.
Li Yunmu didn’t know how cultivation worked in Goumang Real World and couldn’t distinguish between the people of the two worlds. The reason why when he encountered the yin son of heaven, the man had said nothing like that was because he considered Li Yunmu a god of the divine palace.
Although there were three thousand grand daos, the cultivation methods of the Origin World and Goumang Real World were completely different. Without the other party’s cultivation methods, no one could properly distinguish the difference in the presence of the two worlds.
“I agree to both conditions. But before that, I want to ask something, didn’t the Goumang Real World acquire the cultivation method of the Origin World a long time ago? Then why do you still want it?” Li Yunmu asked suspiciously.
Jue Qingzi was sitting like a sculpture on the red-crowned crane, completely lifeless. The twins also kept their mouths shut while firmly holding onto the feathers of the red-crowned cranes with both hands. They were earnestly listening to the conversation between the two parties.
“Goumang Real World possesses it, but that doesn’t mean that our Profound Sword Pavilion also possesses it. In the Alliance, Profound Sword Pavilion is one of the weakest members without any authority to speak. We all came to this small world together with the senior apprentice brother to gain experience, but we could only do so because my father spent a large amount of resources to send us here.”
“You want the cultivation secrets of the Goumang Origin World not only to understand them, right? The cultivation methods of Goumang Real World are different from your cultivation. If you get familiar with the cultivation methods and skills of Goumang Real World, naturally it will help you advance,” Yan Wanqiu solemnly said while taking a bite out of the chicken rib in her hand.
“En, I agree with you. So tell me about the cultivation of Goumang Real World.”
Li Yunmu nodded, and the system hidden until then also appeared in his mind to listen.
Back in the day, the system had been the True God. It wasn’t that he had never captured anyone from Goumang Real World to steal the cultivation methods and skills of Goumang Real World, but whenever he mentioned the words like cultivation methods or secrets, the captives of Goumang Real World would instantly turn into ashes. Not even their soul would be left after that.
This certainly took care of anyone who wanted to speak, and the important secrets were not leaked out. The other side had used this sort of ruthless method to ensure their superiority, and it was very effective.
There was balance for a time, but afterwards, some of the Origin World gods were enticed and collaborated with the emperor monarchs. They used cultivation methods to exchange for the opportunity to advance.
