The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2842 The Legacy of the Giant King

Upon seeing the mark left in the queen ant's soul, Zheng Tuo immediately took action to try to eradicate it, but the mark was extremely strong and it would probably take some time to remove.

The queen ant endured immense pain, but compared to the freedom she was about to gain, she gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and her previous innocence and liveliness vanished, replaced by extraordinary determination.

"Fellow Daoist Dao Fourteen, please don't worry about whether I'll feel pain. Compared to freedom, this pain is nothing. So, please, help me remove the tracking object from my soul."

The queen ant's words were full of pleading.

Zheng Tuo looked at the ant queen and nodded. "The substance attached to your soul is extraordinary. I have never seen this before. I cannot guarantee that I can completely remove it, but I will try my best."

As Zheng Tuo spoke, he immediately activated his righteous energy to envelop the ant queen's soul body and began to help her remove the tracking object from her soul body.

But just as he predicted.

The thing imprinted in the ant queen's soul was of unknown origin. At this moment, it did not react at all to his righteous energy, and seemed to be completely impossible to eradicate, forcing Zheng Tuo to stop.

"how!"

The queen ant's soul appeared extremely exhausted.

"It has no effect. This thing seems to be a part of my soul, and I cannot eradicate it at all."

Zheng Tuo had another solution, but he didn't say it.

He could try using the power of light, but the power of light is not something that can be taken out casually.

If one is not careful and others find out that he possesses the power of light, he will immediately attract the siege of countless powerful figures.

In the Primordial Immortal Realm, anyone who kills a member of the Light God Clan can go to the Primordial Immortal City to receive a peerless treasure.

Such events have occurred many times throughout the history of the primordial immortal realm.

Not only that.

Many ancient beings nearing the end of their lifespan will attack me. These ancient beings are not only half-step Breakthrough beings, but I believe there will be many Breakthrough beings who will attack me.

The Light God of the Light Clan is the only being to reach the ninth level of the Breaker Realm.

Therefore, many people capture members of the Light God Clan to study them and see why the Light God Clan possesses such extraordinary talents, hoping to use them to prolong their lives and become stronger.

so.

The fact that one controls the power of light must never be easily revealed; once revealed, it will surely lead to one's death.

"Is there really no other way?"

When the queen ant saw that Zheng Tuo had no way to help her, she was so aggrieved that she almost cried.

She understood that if the mark in her soul could not be erased, she would be relentlessly hunted down by the giant ant clan until she was captured again and imprisoned in that golden cage.

The thought of returning to that place filled her with tears, making it unbearable.

Seeing the queen ant in such a state, Zheng Tuo felt a pang of pity, but he would never easily reveal that he possessed the power of light.

but!

He looked at the queen ant thoughtfully at that moment.

"To be honest, it's not that there's no way to help you."

"real!"

The queen ant immediately wiped away her tears, her eyes sparkling like bright stars as she looked at Zheng Tuo with hope.

"It's actually very simple. Once you become my spirit beast and we have a master-servant contract, I will naturally have a way to help you. Otherwise, since we are just ordinary friends, I have no obligation to risk helping you remove the mark in your soul."

Zheng Tuo offered his constructive suggestions.

In his view, the queen ant had many secrets. Putting aside everything else, the immortal elixir she traded with him was an absolute celestial treasure.

The queen ant who can casually produce something like this must have many secrets she doesn't know.

Even assuming the queen ant has no secrets, she is still an absolutely powerful being.

To be chosen as the queen of the giant ant clan, the queen in front of him must have extraordinary talent.

The queen ant hesitated greatly upon hearing this.

Becoming someone else's spirit beast seems no different from being locked in that golden cage; both are being controlled by others, only with a new master.

"Queen Ant, I know your concerns, but you don't need to worry about that. As my subordinate spirit beast, I won't impose too many restrictions on you. You will still be yourself. However, as my opponent, you cannot hide anything from me, lie to me, or do anything harmful to me. Apart from that, you can go wherever you want, and I can help you if you encounter danger."

Upon hearing these conditions, the queen ant immediately became somewhat tempted.

In his opinion, this little guy in front of him was obviously much more pleasing to the eye than the giant ant generals and commanders.

But she still hesitated.

She was captured and brought here because she trusted others too easily. Now, if she trusts this little guy, won't he suddenly change his attitude?

You must understand that I have a big secret. If he finds out about my big secret, he will definitely target me. He might even imprison me in a dark and sunless dungeon and torture me every day, studying me and making me suffer unbearably.

Upon thinking of this, the queen ant was immediately terrified and trembled, involuntarily taking two steps back, completely frightened by Zheng Tuo's appearance.

Looking at the queen ant, Zheng Tuo was puzzled as to why she was suddenly so afraid of him.

"Queen Ant, if you are not at ease, I can make a deal with you. You only need to play with me for a thousand years, and after a thousand years, I will give you your freedom."

Zheng Tuo made concessions again.

In his view, a thousand years is enough time for him to break through and become a barrier-breaker.

Once I break through and become a barrier-breaker, no one in the vast primordial immortal realm will be able to easily suppress me, and at that time I will gain unparalleled freedom.

The queen ant still seemed very hesitant.

From the queen ant's perspective, it's better to be kept in that golden cage than to be imprisoned in a dark and sunless dungeon. At least she is an indispensable queen ant to the giant ant clan, and the entire giant ant clan dares not target her.

On the other hand, I know nothing about this little guy in front of me. If he suddenly targets me, I will be caught off guard, let alone become his spirit beast.

Her resolve had begun to waver, but then Zheng Tuo took out something that made her more inclined to become a spirit beast under his command.

"Queen Ant, I understand your concerns. You are afraid that I will harm you. Please rest assured. Please look at this."

As Zheng Tuo spoke, his palm flicked, and a surge of sword energy appeared in his palm.

"what is this?"

The queen ant was puzzled!

"This is the sword energy of the Sword Sect, a sword energy that only disciples of the Sword Sect can possess."

"So?" the queen ant asked, puzzled.
"You don't know about the Sword Sect?" Zheng Tuo asked, full of surprise!
"When I was captured, I had been living in the mountains for a long time and had never left home. I had no idea about the Sword Sect."

"The Sword Sect is a prestigious and righteous sect in the Primordial Immortal Realm, established to punish evil and uphold justice. My possession of sword energy proves that I am an upright person," Zheng Tuo explained.

The queen ant's expression was very strange upon hearing this.

"I've never heard of the Sword Sect. Who knows if this is just a fabrication you made up to fool me?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo became angry.

He wouldn't joke about the Sword Sect, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the Queen Ant was young when she was captured and had been imprisoned in the Giant Ant Clan ever since, without any contact with the outside world. It was understandable that she didn't know about the Sword Sect. "I don't blame you for not knowing about the Sword Sect. Look at this. Do you recognize it?" Zheng Tuo's palm flicked, and a surge of righteous energy appeared.

"What is this!"

"This is the Righteous Qi, the most righteous power in the world. Those who possess the Righteous Qi are the most righteous beings in the world. I, who possess the Righteous Qi, will not harm you."

Zheng Tuo tried to prove that he would not harm the queen ant, but the queen ant would not easily trust anyone.

"I've never heard of the Righteous Qi either. I can't believe you based on just your word."

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo's anger flared up instantly.

Having already decided to give up, he directly drew upon the power of light.

"What's this!"

The queen ant's eyes were filled with disbelief when she saw the power of light.

Although she didn't know what the power in front of her was, she knew it was extraordinary, because she felt a warm aura emanating from it, a warmth that made her want to get closer, and it gave her an inexplicable trust in the little guy in front of her.

"This is the power of light, do you recognize it!"

"The power of light!" The queen ant's eyes were filled with bewilderment, then she was shocked. "I have heard of the power of light. When I was young, the chieftain told me that the God of Light is an utterly wicked race, and if you encounter them, you must eradicate them."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo was dumbfounded!
He never expected that the power of light would not only fail to prove that he was a good person, but would instead prove that he was an utterly wicked villain.

He was truly helpless under such circumstances.

Now that the power of light has been exposed, if the queen ant does not agree to become one of my spirit beasts, then the only way to ensure that the information about the power of light is not leaked is to kill her.

"The Power of Light!"

The queen ant raised her hand, gently blurring the power of light in Zheng Tuo's palm.

Her expression changed from fear to enjoyment.

"The ant clan elders did say that those who possess the power of light are all bad guys, but I don't think so."

"Why?" Zheng Tuo felt there was a chance when he heard this.

"I was captured by the giant ant tribe because I trusted a guy. That guy was hypocritical and looked completely righteous. Because my ant tribe was of the same kind, we treated him well. That guy deceived all the ants and eventually captured me. So, at that time, I understood a principle: only believe what I see and touch."

Zheng Tuo never expected that the queen ant would have such thoughts.

"Now that you have touched the power of light, how do you feel?"

"It's so warm and gentle, a feeling I've never experienced before. I want to fall asleep, to fall asleep forever and ever."

The queen ant fell asleep without anyone noticing. Her unguarded appearance and baby-like sleep made Zheng Tuo reluctant to harm her.

The fact that the queen ant can access the power of light demonstrates that she is pure of heart and not an evil being.

Having mastered the power of light and the righteous energy, killing the queen ant at this moment might plant a seed of inner demons within himself.

Simply.

He did not disturb the queen ant's sleep.

Leaving the cabin and reaching the bow, I steered the airship forward, attempting to leave the giant world as quickly as possible.

The giant ant race is ultimately a creature of the giant world. Even if they leave a mark on the queen ant, they can escape to safety as long as they leave the giant world.

Use all your strength to maneuver the airship and leave this place.

Simultaneously.

Occasionally, you'll encounter adventurers who have entered this place.

They were all heading in a certain direction, looking hurried, as if they had some purpose.

Zheng Tuo did not ask any questions and continued on his way.

Just now.

"Brother!"

Jiu Li'er's voice came, and then the flying boat that Jiu Li'er was piloting stopped not far from Zheng Tuo.

"Li'er!"

Zheng Tuo was slightly taken aback when he saw Jiu Li'er!
After parting ways with me, Jiuli'er went to find my other Dao body. Now that she has returned, I believe she has completed the task I gave her.

"Li'er! What are you doing here!"

"Senior brother, don't you know?" Jiu Li'er was filled with surprise!

"what do you know?"

"One of the most eye-catching events in the Mythical Arena is the inheritance of the King of Giants in this world of giants."

"What! The legacy of the King of Giants!"

Zheng Tuo had never heard of this matter, nor had that old fellow Wuzhiqi told him about it.

Seeing that Zheng Tuo didn't understand the reason, Jiu Li'er immediately explained: "There is the inheritance of the Giant King in the Giant World. Every time the Myth Arena opens, many powerful people come here to try to decipher the contents of the inheritance in order to obtain the Giant King's inheritance and rule the entire Giant World."

Although it was the first time Zheng Tuo had heard of it, it wasn't the first time he had experienced it.

The Five Elements Divine World and the Heavenly River Water Palace are both places where such inheritances are passed down.

Many ancient wallbreakers left behind their own legacies and set numerous trials in order to find successors to their legacy.

Such things are common in the primordial immortal realm, but the legacy of the giant king is one of the most dazzling.

The King of the Giants, a legendary powerhouse whose strength is said to have reached the eighth level of the Breaker Realm.

For many, inheriting the legacy of such a being would make them the strongest being in the primordial immortal realm.

But the stronger the legacy, the harder it is to inherit, because the required talent is beyond everyone's imagination.

Zheng Tuo seemed to be deep in thought about this.

I never expected to witness the grand feast of the Giant King's inheritance at this moment.

If I don't participate, I will truly miss such a great opportunity, because the Giant World is not open all the time. The gate to the Giant World will only open during the Mythical Arena. If I miss this opportunity, I may have to wait for thousands of years.

He naturally wanted to go, but then he looked back at the flying boat.

Inside the airship, the queen ant slept. He had made a pact with her to protect her as she left the world of giants.

Since a promise has been made, it should not be easily broken.

He thought about it for a moment, and finally looked at Jiuli'er.

"Li'er, I need your help with something." Zheng Tuo had come up with a solution.

"What's up!"

Jiuli'er's eyes immediately lit up, because she knew that what her senior brother was asking her for was definitely not a simple matter.
