Chapter 1587 Heart As Vast As Ocean
Ling Zemin's entire body turned cold instantly at Wan Mu's words because his true purpose for coming here was exactly what the Beyond Heaven King left behind in the tower.
According to his father, the Beyond Heaven King left one of his relics and a powerful artifact for his successor. Although Ling Zemin couldn't utilize the relic, it didn't mean he couldn't possess it for himself. Without the relic, the successor of the Beyond Heaven King would essentially be incapacitated. That was what he and his father aimed for.
"Senior has misunderstood us. We came here to search for a way to enhance our strength." Ling Zemin explained. "My father told me that the Reincarnation Tower could significantly increase our strength. As for what the Beyond Heaven King left behind, I believe Senior understands very well that we have no chance of obtaining it, even if we want to."
Ling Chao, the old man beside Ling Zemin, stepped out and said. "Senior might not know this. The Priestess of the Moon announced another divination last year. Foreign enemies would come to our Divine Realm again within the next two hundred years. We are exploring every possible avenue to enhance our strength and prepare for it."
Wan Mu gazed deeply at Ling Chao. "Tell me more."
Ling Chao felt a sense of relief inwardly. He took advantage of Wan Mu's love for the Divine Realm by exploiting this situation, and it appeared to be successful. At least, Wan Mu had no intention of attacking them right away.
He took a deep breath and said solemnly. "Priestess Yue said that this time, the fate of our Divine Realm is bleak. Whether we can survive or not depends on all of us. The enemy this time would be more terrifying than the last. And now, we no longer have the Beyond Heaven King and other seniors."
Wan Mu went silent for a moment and said. "All of you are the new generation of the Divine Realm, and I have no reason to keep you here. However, I hope all of you can fight until the end. Do not let those enemies take our home away."
Ling Zemin responded solemnly. "Please rest assured, Senior. We will give our utmost effort, even if it means sacrificing our lives."
"Yes, Senior. Everyone is currently preparing for this event. We will fight to the end." Yang Zhen echoed.
Wan Mu nodded gently. "Well, I believe you. You can follow this path. There's no trap in the way. However, I must warn you about one thing. Do not touch what the Beyond Heaven King left behind. Otherwise, you will never be able to leave this place."
Ling Zemin bowed deeply and said. "Thank you, Senior."
Wan Mu waved his hand. "Go before others arrive."
Ling Zemin took a deep breath and quickly rushed out, followed by Yang Zhen and the others.
However, Shui Fang did not leave with them. He bowed his head to Wan Mu and said respectfully. "Junior Shui Fang pays respects to the Pill Emperor. I have some questions that require Senior to enlighten me."
In the far distance, Yang Zhen glanced back at Shui Fang and said. "What is he doing?"
Ling Zemin frowned slightly and said. "It doesn't matter. As long as we reach the tower's area, we will be safe."
Yang Zhen nodded and remained silent.
Wan Mu looked at Shui Fang and asked gently. "Do you want to ask me why I have become like this?"
Shui Fang cupped his fists. "Yes, Senior. I know that Ling Zemin had no good intentions of inviting me here from the beginning. He probably wants to find a few decoys to assist him in reaching the tower. Moreover, I believe that he lied about what he said earlier."
"So, I was deceived?" Wan Mu asked with a smile.
Shui Fang shook his head. "How could he deceive Senior with your wisdom? It's just that I don't understand why Senior let them go."
Wan Mu laughed slightly and said. "You have indeed inherited your father's good side… Tell me. What would I gain from killing them here?"
Shui Fang immediately fell silent. He was unable to come up with an answer.
Wan Mu smiled gently and said. "I gain absolutely nothing from killing them here. On the contrary, it would be a loss for the Divine Realm if I were to do so. Even though they have lied to me, they are still fellow members of our Divine Realm at the end of the day. We still need them for the impending disaster."
Shui Fang looked at Wan Mu with admiration. "Senior's heart is as vast as the ocean."
Wan Mu shook his head. "This is just my own selfishness... It's a pity that I cannot leave this place."
Shui Fang quickly asked. "Why is that, Senior?"
"You probably met people like me on your way here." Wan Mu explained. "We, in fact, should have died a long time ago, but we were resurrected by an unknown force in this place. We cannot approach the tower. Otherwise, we will cease to exist immediately."
"I have been searching for a way to break this curse, but so far, everything has been futile."
Shui Fang nodded thoughtfully. Ling Zemin had previously talked about the so-called curse. It turned out like this.
He took out a jade bottle and said. "Senior, I have brought Clear Spring Water with me here. Perhaps it can help you."
The Clear Spring Water was a product exclusively for the Clear Spring God Realm. It could be used to detoxify poison and remove curses. Every drop of it was extremely precious, but Shui Fang didn't hesitate to give it all to Wan Mu.
However, Wan Mu smiled and said. "I have received your goodwill, but it's useless to me."
Shui Fang was taken aback.
Wan Mu explained further. "The Clear Spring Water is indeed a top-tier treasure, but it lacks life force. The curse within my body carries a trace of the Great Laws of death."
Shui Fang immediately understood. The Law of Death was something that no one had ever achieved before in the entire history of the Divine Realm. A mere spring water in his hand was completely useless in front of it.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Wan Mu noticed something and looked towards the south.
At this moment, Yun Lintian's group led by Yan Yin appeared in Wan Mu's line of sight.
"Oh?" Yan Yin had also noticed Wan Mu. "We met a great man here."
