Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 267 Seeking Gold Will Certainly Lead to Death?

Although Lü Yang no longer investigates the matter in detail, his guess was correct. A dignified True Lord would certainly not make a move for a junior.

Lü Yang was just an extra.

The person who truly connected with [True Lord Angxiao Biri] and met him through [Wanwu Realm], a realm where cause and effect are difficult to trace, was actually Suo Huan.

If not, why would he attack the Dragon King Chongying of the Four Seas Gate? Did he really think it was for a deal with that foolish woman, Miaoyin? His true target from beginning to end was the half of [Yinlong Water] in Chongying's possession! That was a piece of Chen soil whose Yin and Yang had been reversed by [Angxiao Biri Zhenjun].

It was through him that Suo Huan was able to contact this True Lord.

Looking at Suo Huan kneeling on the ground, Zhenjun spoke indifferently, seemingly unconcerned about his respect: "You already have the method to seek gold, so why do you need to see me?"

"Your Majesty, I am filled with trepidation."

Suo Huan said tremblingly, "The various True Lords have approached me, wanting me to prove the [Eternal Flowing Water] and break the True Lords' lineage. I truly have no choice in the matter."

Upon hearing this, Zhenjun looked at Suohuan seriously, then chuckled: "The Pure Land has perfected your blessed land, the Holy Sect has helped you attract the resonance of your fruition, and the Dao Court has blessed your official position. The three parties working together have given you a chance to seek wealth. Such a great opportunity should not be beyond your control, right?"

"It is both an opportunity and a calamity."

Suo Huan lowered his head and continued, "The [Long Flowing Water] is related to the Great Dao of the True Lord. Even if I were to attain it, I would still be a rogue cultivator. How could I possibly withstand the divine might of the True Lord?"

"I'm afraid that the moment of attaining enlightenment will be the moment of my demise."

"Therefore, I am willing to go to the underworld to serve before you and be your vanguard. I only ask that you grant me a good result and I hope you will have mercy on me."

The tone of his pleading was extremely humble.

However, he did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. As a nobody, he was neither humble nor humble, nor did he have to lower himself or lose face. Why would he want money?
He didn't even lock his sea of ​​consciousness.

Generally, once a Foundation Establishment cultivator locks their sea of ​​consciousness, it cannot be opened unless some special methods are used, and even a True Lord cannot arbitrarily search a cultivator's soul.

However, at this moment, Suo Huan deliberately opened his sea of ​​consciousness, revealing all his thoughts to the True Lord in front of him, in order to show his sincerity.

For a moment, even the True Lord fell silent.

Because Suo Huan made no attempt to conceal his feelings, he easily discerned Suo Huan's emotions, yet he couldn't detect a single trace of ulterior motive. The entire passage could be summarized in one sentence:

'Want to be my dog?'

After a moment of silence, Zhenjun smiled and said, "Good, you are indeed a talented person. Since everyone wants you to prove the [Long Flowing Water], then go and prove it."

Upon hearing this, Suo Huan suddenly felt dizzy.

'What?! He asked me to testify, and he's not even worried about it?!'

For a moment, Suo Huan even felt flustered. To be honest, he had imagined how the True Lord in front of him would react, and had even made ample preparations for it.

He even considered the possibility that the True Lord would think that his attainment of the [Long Flowing Water] would hinder his path to enlightenment, and that he was too lazy to give a cultivator from beyond the heavens a [Netherworld] as a fallback option, so he might just slap him to death. Therefore, what he came to the [Ten Thousand Martial Realm] at this moment was not his original body, but an avatar he had refined.

But he never expected that the True Lord in front of him would not care!
You should know that not long ago he was overwhelmed by Chongguang's pursuit of gold and the reversal of the world's celestial earth, and had a fierce battle with more than ten True Monarchs.

Under these circumstances, how could he allow anyone to testify to the "long-flowing water"?
Seeing Suo Huan's wavering expression, Zhenjun smiled and said, "If you attain the Long Flowing Water and then enter my [Netherworld], I will value you even more in the future."

'Is he going to drag a long stream of water into the underworld?'

'Is he truly aiming for reincarnation?'

Suo Huan was filled with endless doubts, but he showed no sign of it on his face. Instead, he showed a look of deep gratitude and bowed his head, saying, "Thank you for your mercy, True Lord!"

"But by the grace of the True Lord, my hopes of obtaining gold are truly slim."

This becomes clear when compared to Chongguang.

What's Chongguang's background? A solid Foundation Establishment cultivation at its peak, his own blessed land, a mid-stage Golden Core backer, and numerous capable subordinates. And look at him? A lone wolf, his Foundation Establishment cultivation at its peak only achieved through the support of the Daoist lineage and his official position. It wasn't cultivated by himself, but rather formed from a half-destroyed blessed land after the collapse of the celestial realm. He has no backing whatsoever. With this, even a sliver of hope for wealth is an optimistic estimate!
So he needs more!
He didn't care what schemes the True Lord in front of him might have. Anyway, he had already contacted three places. As long as it could increase the chances of getting gold, one more place wouldn't matter!
'It means the Sword Pavilion is unreasonable; otherwise, I would have gone after them too.'

Of the four major powers, only the Sword Pavilion has the toughest attitude towards cultivators from beyond the heavens. They basically kill anyone they see, and even call it their destiny.

In the eyes of the Sword Pavilion, cultivators from beyond the heavens are simply filthy outsiders. Want to beg for money? Sure, I'll kill you, send you through reincarnation for a good cleansing, and once you've lost your memories of your past life, we'll naturally come back to guide you into the path. Therefore, even with the mentality of "the more debts, the less worries," they never bothered the Sword Pavilion.

"You're really quite bold."

The fact that Suo Huan was so blatantly demanding benefits made even the True Lord raise an eyebrow. As soon as he finished speaking, the entire world seemed to stop turning.

An immense mental pressure crashed down upon me.

However, despite this pressure, Suo Huan lowered his body even further, pressing his forehead firmly to the ground, and said in a steady and powerful tone:

"I am simply unwilling to accept this and desire a precious elixir. I earnestly hope you will have mercy on me."

His voice and tone were extremely humble.

However, their resolve remained unshaken by the might of the True Lord.

"Fine, I agree."

The next second, Zhenjun suddenly chuckled, and in an instant, spring returned to the earth, and the previous grim atmosphere melted away as if it had never existed in the first place.

The True Lord's figure vanished without a trace, replaced by a water droplet floating in the air. At first glance, it seemed to be nothing more than a mustard seed, but if one scanned it with divine sense, it would seem as if one were trapped in an endless ocean, with countless twists and turns, its source unfathomable.

Suo Huan then let out a deep breath.

He looked up and saw the water droplet suspended in mid-air. After a brief moment of thought, a look of immense joy appeared on his face: "This is a treasure of the Fruit Realm!?"

With a sweep of his divine sense, the relevant information immediately entered his mind.

"【Heavenly Virtue and Benevolence Divine Water】!"

As its name suggests, this water possesses the virtues of clarity and nourishment, as well as the wonder of benefiting the world and bestowing blessings. When used and transformed, it can bring about a miraculous recovery from dire straits, prosperity and development, and benefit all things.

"This is the ultimate treasure that can activate the [Eternal Flow of Water]!"

If taken while seeking gold, it can attract the [Long Flowing Water] to guide you, thus reducing the difficulty of ascending to the blessed land by many times.
"Thirty percent... there's a thirty percent chance!"

'He wasn't feigning it; he gave me this treasure genuinely, wanting me to prove the [Eternal Flowing Water]. Doesn't he fear I might ruin his path?'

Or is it that...?

Thinking of this, Suo Huan's expression gradually darkened again, and the joy that had just appeared quickly faded away, replaced by a sinister look.

Everyone is so supportive of me.

'Don't they really mind having a rogue cultivator, especially one from beyond the heavens? Aren't they worried that stripping me of my position would be detrimental to the world?'

To be honest, he thought it was something that would take hundreds of years to complete and that the chances of success were slim. He was just doing his best and leaving the rest to fate. But so far, he has been incredibly successful. Almost every family has agreed to his request and has not refused.

Although the conditions proposed by each party were quite demanding, they were all within his acceptable range.

They didn't even ask him if he had been in contact with other forces. He had prepared a whole bunch of excuses, but he didn't need to explain at all.

'It went too smoothly.'

The more Suo Huan pondered, the more horrified he became. He couldn't help but look around and give a bitter laugh. He didn't even know if the True Lord was still by his side!
Suo Huan raised her head, looking at the untouchable sky above, and could only swallow her doubts, daring not to speak them aloud:
'Does this genuinely support me, or is everyone convinced that my pursuit of gold is doomed to failure?'
