Wang Yu
Chapter 1189 Two Hundred Year Agreement
Xiao Bai opened his mouth, about to say something, but Bai Ze waved his hand to stop him.
"I know what you and Han, my little friend, are going to do, even if you don't tell me. I know better than you what kind of place Jiu Yuan Guan is. Its strength and foundation are far beyond your imagination. Just the two of you trying to sneak in to save someone is no different than courting death. You should stay here at Eight Desolate Mountain and cultivate properly. The revitalization of the Savage Wasteland concerns billions of living beings, and this place needs you even more. Han, my little friend, I advise you not to take the risk either. This action has a ninety-nine percent chance of death."
Bai Ze advised with an even more somber expression, and then spoke to Han Li.
"Fellow Daoist Han, forgive me for speaking frankly, but Jiu Yuan Guan ranks among the top five forces allied with the Heavenly Court. It's truly not a place that the two of you can easily offend." Li Qima, who was next to him, also chimed in with advice.
Han Li frowned slightly upon hearing this, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
If it were just him and Xiao Bai trying to break into Jiu Yuan Guan to rescue Jin Tong, it would indeed be somewhat fanciful. He would never do such an unwise thing, after all, where there's life, there's hope. If something were to happen to him, Jin Tong would have no chance of escaping.
However, now that such a large force as the Samsara Hall was also involved in this matter, the situation was naturally different. However, this was a secret that he couldn't reveal, so he remained silent.
"Cultivation can be done anywhere. Master possesses a spatial treasure, and I can cultivate with him just the same, it won't be delayed. As for danger, I'm not afraid," Xiao Bai said dismissively, his attitude firm.
Bai Ze frowned, his gaze shifting as he gave Han Li a look.
"Xiao Bai, Senior Bai Ze is right. The rescue is too risky, and it's indeed not safe for you to follow me. It's better for you to stay here," Han Li sighed lightly, also trying to persuade him.
Although Xiao Bai had advanced to the Grand Luo realm, his role in facing such a behemoth as Jiu Yuan Guan was still limited. Moreover, the Heavenly Court monitored the world, and the Heavenly Court might not be unaware of what was happening in Eight Desolate Mountain. Xiao Bai inherited the power of the Ink-Eyed Pi Xiu bloodline, and his value was different now. If he appeared in the Gold Origin Immortal Domain, the Heavenly Court might send experts to capture him, adding to the uncertainty.
More importantly, taking Xiao Bai would offend the Savage Wasteland Realm. Rather than that, it was better to leave him here.
"Back then, when the boss and I were besieged by Jiu Yuan Guan, the boss originally had a chance to escape, but she gave that opportunity to me. Otherwise, where would I be today? Now that she's trapped in Jiu Yuan Guan, her life or death unknown, how can I cower in the Savage Wasteland Realm? Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness, but this rescue of the boss is imperative for Xiao Bai. Otherwise, with this guilt in my heart, my cultivation will never improve," Xiao Bai said with a calm expression, but his eyes were firm and his tone resolute.
Hearing these words from Xiao Bai, a trace of surprise flashed across Han Li's face, and he said nothing more.
But Bai Ze frowned even more, about to say something again.
"Bai Ze, we people of the Savage Wasteland are clear about our grudges and debts. We repay kindness and vengeance. Since Xiao Bai is so insistent, let him go," Yue Mian, who was nearby, came over and said.
"What are you saying? Jiu Yuan Guan, what kind of power is that, Xiao Bai and the others don't know, don't you know?" Bai Ze suddenly looked at Yue Mian, somewhat reproachfully.
"If Xiao Bai's heart isn't in the Savage Wasteland, it's useless for you to force him to stay here. This cause and effect must be settled. And Fellow Daoist Han doesn't seem like an impulsive person. You're going to rescue your partner, you should have some plans already, right?" Yue Mian said calmly, then asked Han Li.
"I have indeed made some preparations, but the matter involves secrets and it's not convenient to tell the two seniors. But you can rest assured that I won't act rashly," Han Li said with a calm expression, cupping his hands to Bai Ze and the other.
"Look, since Fellow Daoist Han has made preparations, he must have a considerable degree of certainty. If you're still worried, give Xiao Bai a few treasures to protect himself," Yue Mian said to Bai Ze.
"Then... alright, since you insist on going, I can't stop you either. Take these three treasures with you," Bai Ze was silent for a moment upon hearing this, and was finally persuaded. He turned his hand and took out three items, handing them to Xiao Bai. They were a cyan jade talisman, a golden talisman, and a white cloth bag.
The cyan jade talisman was three inches wide and five inches long, with cyan patterns engraved on it, forming a peculiar array-like pattern.
Soft cyan light rose from within the array, circling around the jade talisman before merging back into it, repeating endlessly.
The golden talisman was the size of a palm, with countless twisted demon spirit patterns engraved on it, emitting waves of incredibly powerful law fluctuations.
The last white cloth bag was unremarkable, with no special features and no strong law fluctuations. Only a faint trace of spiritual power could be felt attached to it.
"This cyan jade talisman is called the 'Heaven Evasion Talisman'. It's a rare treasure I obtained before I attained enlightenment. It has the effect of invisibility and concealing aura, and even a late-stage Grand Luo realm cultivator may not be able to see through it. This golden talisman contains a strike with thirty percent of my power sealed within it. If you encounter a difficult enemy, activate this talisman to deal with them. As for the last white cloth bag, it's a natal immortal artifact refined by your father back then. It's been stored here with me all this time. Now that you've inherited his bloodline power, I'll give it to you to keep," Bai Ze explained the uses of the three treasures.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Xiao Bai sensed the extraordinary nature of these three treasures and hurriedly accepted them with joy.
He glanced at the Heaven Evasion Talisman and the golden talisman before putting them away, leaving only the white cloth bag to examine it repeatedly.
Seeing this scene, Han Li was also delighted in his heart.
With these three treasures, their safety would be further guaranteed.
At that moment, Bai Ze suddenly raised his hand and twelve lightning-like white lights shot out from his hand, accurately entering Xiao Bai's body. Countless white runes flew out from these white lights, condensing into twelve circular rune arrays around Xiao Bai's body, flashing a few times before slowly disappearing.
Xiao Bai was greatly shocked, and Han's face also changed, but Bai Ze acted too fast, and they had no time to stop him.
"Don't worry, these are twelve Grand Teleportation Rune Arrays that I've set up. Xiao Bai, I can agree to you leaving with Fellow Daoist Han, but you also know the current situation of the Heavenly Court and the Savage Wasteland. We are also preparing some things... so you only have two hundred years. After two hundred years, no matter what your reason is, you must return to the Savage Wasteland, otherwise these twelve Grand Teleportation Rune Arrays will forcibly teleport you back," Bai Ze said solemnly.
"Two hundred years!" Xiao Bai's expression changed slightly as he looked towards Han Li.
Han Li frowned upon hearing this. The Samsara Hall had not given him any news yet, regarding when they would act.
Although he didn't place his hopes on the Samsara Hall, if the Samsara Hall were to act, it would definitely give him a lot of help.
"Hopefully we can make it in time," Han Li sighed in his heart, nodding to Xiao Bai.
"Okay, I will definitely be back after two hundred years," Xiao Bai immediately said to Bai Ze.
Seeing this, Bai Ze's expression softened slightly, and he hummed in agreement.
"Thank you, Senior Bai Ze, for allowing Xiao Bai to accompany me. Rest assured, no matter what happens, I will ensure Xiao Bai's safety," Han Li said to Bai Ze and Yue Mian.
"Alright, I'll leave Xiao Bai in Fellow Daoist Han's care," Bai Ze said to Han Li.
The group spoke for a while longer, and then Han Li took his leave, performing a hand seal and summoning the Ink Dragon Flying Boat, carrying the two of them and transforming into a stream of ink-green light, shooting away into the distance and disappearing into the distant horizon in the blink of an eye.
Watching Han Li and Xiao Bai leave, Bai Ze glanced at Li Qima next to him.
Li Qima understood, said goodbye, and turned to leave, leaving only Bai Ze and Yue Mian on the plaza.
"Here," Yue Mian raised his hand and a ball of blood light shot out, landing in front of Bai Ze.
Twelve phantoms flickered in the blood light, and they were exactly the twelve true spirit bloodline phantoms in Han Li's body, intertwined and circling.
In addition to these twelve true spirit phantoms, many blood-colored words flickered in the blood light, condensing into a piece of cultivation method.
If Han Li were here, he would be greatly surprised, because the main line of this cultivation method was exactly the same as the Amazing Insects Art he cultivated, with only some differences in some minor details.
Bai Ze's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand to grab the ball of blood light.
"Just now, I used the Kun Peng bloodline in that Han to sense the operation of the other bloodlines, and roughly figured out the vein of the cultivation method he cultivated. It is indeed a very brilliant cultivation method, but I don't know why it appeared in the Lower Realm," Yue Mian said slowly.
"It is indeed very brilliant. There are quite a few cultivation methods for fusing bloodlines among our eight races, but at most, they only fuse four or five true spirit bloodlines. Any more than that, the true spirit bloodlines will conflict with each other and explode. This cultivation method can actually fuse twelve true spirit bloodlines. The balance and coordination between each bloodline is so precise and the calculation is so precise. It is incredible. With this cultivation method, the strength of the various races in the Savage Wasteland can be improved a lot," Bai Ze looked at the blood light, nodding repeatedly.
"If you want this cultivation method, you can directly search the soul of that kid, or let him hand it over directly. I think he would not dare not to hand it over. Why use this roundabout method and make me play a monkey show with you?" Yue Mian snorted, very unhappily.
"That Han's identity is not ordinary, and you can't touch him," Bai Ze put away the blood light and shook his head indifferently.
"Oh, who is that kid? You are so worried about him," Yue Mian asked curiously.
Bai Ze glanced at Yue Mian and took out an object, which was a black token with a hideous beast face pattern engraved on it.
"It's him!" Yue Mian's face changed when he saw the beast face token.
"The situation in the True Immortal World is about to change, and I don't know where it will flow..." Bai Ze put away the token and looked at the rolling clouds in the distant sky, sighing.
