Chapter 1311: Chapter 1297: Cooperation
An old man appearing here was already quite suspicious.
The fact that the other party came up to initiate a conversation made Baiyu feel that this was not a good thing.
However.
Since he had already been called, Baiyu did not continue forward but stopped in place, looking at the other with doubt: "What do you want?"
"Hehe, young man, I have a great opportunity for you, do you want it? You should know, I sought you out because I feel a connection with you, others don’t have this connection with me, so I don’t approach them."
The old man displayed a smile on his face.
It looked somewhat sinister.
Baiyu became interested, asking: "What opportunity?"
"Do you know who left behind these Enlightenment Ruins?" The old man’s eyes revealed a glimmer of light, guiding like he was leading prey, though a skilled hunter would not leave too many traces, the old man was too eager, appearing somewhat deliberate.
Baiyu took a deep breath and asked with a smile: "Who?"
"It was that unrivaled master of the Enlightenment Realm, the first who was formidable in the entire Enlightenment Realm, the Sword Monarch. It’s said that he even approached the threshold of the Ascension Realm, invincible, finally shutting himself away to ascend, aiming for Feather Transformation and disappearance.
Unexpectedly.
After all these years.
The other party had already died, leaving behind such a vast relic."
The old man spoke with a tinge of lament.
Baiyu said: "What does this have to do with your opportunity?"
The old man smiled: "Don’t rush, let me explain slowly. That Sword Monarch was able to defeat all unrivaled in Enlightenment, becoming the first Sword Immortal of the Profound Origin Realm not just because of his supreme cultivation that amazed all of history, but also because he carried seven of the world’s famous swords.
He once said.
These seven famous swords, besides being weapons, were also his friends and keys to his abode.
Right now.
We are in these relics, which used to be his abode, or at least one of them. In my hand, I happen to have one of the Sword Monarch’s famous swords, the Dragon Roar Sword.
As long as we obtain this sword.
We can surely acquire everything within these relics, with little risk involved, we could gain the Sword Monarch’s inheritance. So, are you interested?"
The old man’s voice rose and fell, like a demon enticing the innocent into his trap.
Baiyu did not directly answer the old man’s question.
Instead, he asked: "I wonder what is your name, and to which sect do you belong? Based on your words alone, it’s very hard for me to believe, and anyway, there’s no such thing as windfalls falling from the sky. Aren’t you treating me as cannon fodder?"
Hearing Baiyu speak this way.
The old man chuckled: "What is this talk? I’ve said before, fate, in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, fate is the most important. That is what you call opportunity. Without it, everything is for naught.
When I first saw you.
I felt a tremendous connection with you.
That’s why I’m inviting you into my plan, of course, if you’re unwilling, then forget it, I’m not one to force others."
Baiyu asked: "You still haven’t told me, which sect you belong to, and what your name is."
"I come from the Lonely Sea Sect, and I am the current Grand Elder of the Lonely Sea Sect, Ren Tianhe."
Old Ren said with a squinting smile.
Lonely Sea Sect.
Baiyu had seen this sect’s name in the Star Shining Sect’s records, considered a third-rate Immortal Cultivation sect, not large, with only a few thousand members in the whole sect, so there were no particularly formidable figures.
However.
The old man before him was clearly at the peak of the Giant Spirit Realm.
He seemed even to be advancing toward the Nascent Soul Realm.
His strength was not weak.
Whether or not he was truly from the Lonely Sea Sect, that needed questioning. Baiyu further asked: "Being a senior from the Lonely Sea Sect, why would you possess one of the Sword Monarch’s famed swords? You know the saying about how possession of a coveted item brings calamity, it’s not that I’m biased against the Lonely Sea Sect, but surely with its strength, it would be hard to keep such a famous sword safe."
Ren Tianhe smiled: "Young man, you are mistaken. I never said that this famous sword is kept within my Lonely Sea Sect. If it were, my sect would have been wiped out long ago.
Now I don’t seek collaboration with higher-ups from other major sects because I’m wary they’ll double-cross and exploit me.
Whether righteous or demon dao.
In the end, they are often the same."
Baiyu was slightly taken aback, then showed an odd expression: "So you don’t have that famous sword?"
"No, but I know where that famous sword is hidden, it’s within these ruins. I once obtained the Sword Monarch’s notes, which detail the exact location of the sword."
Ren Tianhe said.
Baiyu smiled and asked: "Are you planning to take off my head if I don’t agree, to ensure your secret isn’t leaked?"
Ren Tianhe shook his head: "You will agree, no one can refuse, these are the Enlightenment Realm ruins, obtaining that sword is equivalent to getting the key to these relics. Besides, what you need to give is very little.
We can make a pact.
Once we acquire that famous sword and open the real treasures within these ruins, I take six, you take four, provided we can get the sword, and you fully cooperate with me. Still, finding a solitary Spirit Transformation Realm Cultivator is quite difficult."
Currently.
The aura Baiyu displayed to outsiders was that of the Qi Xuan Realm.
However.
He had added a layer of concealment, if anyone had an Investigation Realm magical treasure or similar secret technique, they could discern he was in the Spirit Transformation Realm.
But Baiyu’s true strength.
Was the peak of the Giant Spirit Realm.
It was believed no one would expect, once it came to key moments, that he could exhibit the strength of the Giant Spirit Realm and surely catch the enemy off guard. Of course, if the enemy was prepared for his Giant Spirit strength, then Baiyu would only unleash the power of Blood Qi and Spirituality, revealing his most original, peak power.
The restrictions laid down by the Blossom were nearly lifted once he broke through to the Giant Spirit Realm.
Thus.
Baiyu’s internal Blood Qi had returned to its peak.
This was why Baiyu dared to roam around without fear.
He had something to rely on in his heart.
Unfearing of the layers of danger within these ruins.
Baiyu believed, no matter who his enemy might be, when faced with his nesting doll-like layers of strength, they would absolutely not anticipate it, and would suffer greatly from it.
After a little thought.
Baiyu agreed to the old man’s request: "Tell me, where is the sword? As the sword of the Sword Monarch, it must be well-kept, and there might be numerous mechanisms around it, we’d better hurry before drawing others’ attention and wasting time."
Ren Tianhe saw how heartily Baiyu agreed.
He couldn’t help but say: "Alright, I don’t want to linger either, the place where the sword is, is at the Sword Pavilion, I’ll take you there now."
