Chapter 270: No Choice
Chapter 270: No Choice
As a streak of light pierced through the thunderclouds shrouding the Overseas Dominion’s seas, it vanished abruptly, revealing a tall figure standing with hands clasped behind his back, robes billowing in the wind.
“Seems I’ve returned to familiar grounds,” Lv Yang murmured, glancing around. The last time he’d caused such chaos here during the great battle at the Emerald Sun Cultivation Realm, the sect had practically collapsed.
Yet ironically, without the Immortal Alliance’s suppression, the entire Spiritual Root system had crumbled, allowing the region to flourish anew. While no one had yet reached Foundation Formation, given a century or so, it might well reclaim its former glory.
Lv Yang calculated his next moves through narrowed eyes. Though he’d risked coming in person, he decided not to rush toward the Yuanmagnetic Divine Mountain immediately. First, he needed to strengthen his power.
‘I should hurry there…’
‘The Yuanmagnetic Divine Mountain determines my entire cultivation path. If the Four Seas Sect claims it first, all hope is lost!’
‘No—wrong. Strength comes first. Coming here bodily is already perilous. Without sufficient power, even divine opportunities will slip through my grasp!’
After countless calculations, caution prevailed. He produced a Sky Message, ignited it with his spiritual energy, and sent it soaring. Soon, a streak of light approached, landing before him.
A refined young man emerged.
“Daoist Yuan Tu (Slaughter)?” Lv Yang greeted, his expression oddly tense. The man’s gaze locked onto him, wary and hesitant to step closer.
“Greetings, Senior Suo Huan,” Lv Yang bowed, smiling. “Do you still honor our prior agreement from the Myriad Martial Realm? I’ve come seeking your aid to forge a Spirit Treasure.”
His tone was warm, but Suo Huan’s unease deepened. This was Lv Yang’s true body—no mere projection. How reckless! He recalled Lv Yang’s cunning and mastery of the Holy Sect’s doctrines. Why would such a person risk meeting him in person? Had he underestimated this genius? Suo Huan would never dare such a move himself.
“Senior?” Lv Yang tilted his head, curious. Under his gaze, Suo Huan’s tension eased.
“The agreement holds,” Suo Huan chuckled, dismissing his doubts. “Let’s not dwell on it.”
Their conversation flowed smoothly, camaraderie blossoming. When Lv Yang mentioned his perilous quest for the Yuanmagnetic Divine Mountain, he added, “Once the Spirit Treasure is forged, would you accompany me? There’ll be rewards beyond this commission.”
“Agreed!” Suo Huan waved a hand. “I’ve found a perfect site in the Overseas Dominion—a sea-bottom volcanic crucible rich in celestial metals. Fire and water will refine it perfectly for a supreme Spirit Treasure!”
He paused, realizing he’d just revealed his stronghold. Am I being too hasty? But he dismissed the thought. A Holy Sect True Sage wouldn’t covet such a place. Forging the treasure and securing the quest’s rewards came first.
Suddenly, both men broke into identical grins, sweat dripping from their brows.
‘He’s just like me!’
They soared toward a desolate sea. Suo Huan pointed downward—the waters parted, revealing a volcanic crucible with fiery veins radiating like stars.
“An Oceanic Heart of Earthfire Crucible!” Lv Yang marveled. “Crafted, not natural. Impressive.”
“A mere trifle,” Suo Huan smiled, activating the formation. “Forging a personal Spirit Treasure requires top-tier materials and soul-forging. I provide the crucible—you handle the rest.”
Lv Yang exhaled, sweat streaming. “Of course,” he replied, wiping his brow. With a flick of his sleeve, the Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner, Avici Sword, Invisible Sword, and Imperial Decree of Golden Inscription materialized, dazzling Suo Huan.
“These? All in one go?!” Suo Huan gasped, greed flaring briefly before vanishing. “No ordinary endeavor… but with this crucible, I just might succeed!”
