Chapter 405 The Sincerity of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations

Six hours later.

space.

Lu Sheng hovered outside Earth's defense perimeter, watching the rapidly approaching silver-gray dot of light in the distance.

Elder Xuanyin's small flying vehicle.

It was faster than the last time I came.

The aircraft stopped three thousand miles away from Lu Sheng. The hatch opened, and Elder Xuan Yin floated out.

She was still wearing that dark green, narrow-sleeved long dress, with her hair tied up with a gold hairband. But this time, her expression was different from before.

When she came last time, she was polite, but there was a hint of scrutiny in her eyes.

this time--

Lu Sheng scanned her expression with his dragon eyes.

Tension. But not the kind of tension one feels when facing a mid-stage Spirit Saint. It's a different kind of tension.

It's like a negotiator holding a contract that's been revised several times, unsure if the other party will be satisfied.

"Lord Lu Sheng," Xuan Yin bowed.

"Did you bring the reply?"

"I brought it."

Xuan Yin took a deep breath. "The Heavenly Venerable has agreed to your supplementary conditions."

Lu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

agreed?

You agree to everything?

What he wanted were the coordinates of all the ancient ruins and anomalous spatial regions known to the Myriad Manifestations Divine Court. Could the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable simply give away such crucial information?

"Are there any additional conditions?" Lu Sheng asked.

"Yes." Xuan Yin nodded frankly. "Your Majesty the Heavenly Venerable has two additional conditions."

"explain."

"First, the star map and the coordinates of the ruins can be given to you. However, you must, as a Spirit Saint Realm cultivator, swear a law oath guaranteeing that you will not leak this information to any third-party forces."

The Law and Oath.

Lu Sheng had heard of this. Cultivators above the Spirit Saint Realm can make oaths through the power of laws, and if they break them, the backlash from the laws can severely injure even a Spirit Saint Realm cultivator.

This condition isn't unreasonable. I can give you the intelligence, but you can't resell it to others. It's fair.

"And the second one?"

"Second—" Xuan Yin lowered her voice a little.

"The Celestial Venerable wishes that I may accompany you on your quest to find the Seed of Origin."

Lu Sheng's brow twitched slightly.

Should Xuan Yin go with him to find the Seed of Origin?

"What's the reason?"

"The Celestial Venerable said that the characteristics of the Seed of Origin are extremely unique, and even if an ordinary cultivator finds it, they may not be able to identify it. I have followed the Celestial Venerable in cultivation for many years and have a certain ability to distinguish the aura of the Seed of Origin. If you take me with you, it will improve the efficiency of the search."

Lu Sheng quickly calculated in his mind.

Was the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations really only sending Xuan Yin along to "identify the Seed of Origin"?

not necessarily.

More likely, it's surveillance.

The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations was not comfortable entrusting such an important matter entirely to an outsider. He sent a subordinate at the early stage of the Spirit Saint realm to accompany the matter, both to monitor the progress and to ensure the interests of the Myriad Manifestations Divine Court at crucial moments.

However, Xuan Yin is in the early stage of Spirit Saint.

For Lu Sheng, the threat posed by the early stages of the Spirit Saint realm was virtually nonexistent.

He is currently at the peak of the mid-stage of the Spirit Saint realm. Early-stage Spirit Saints would have little chance against him, barely even a chance to retaliate.

Should we take her with us to the Abyss of the Old Gods?

No. Absolutely not.

The Old God Abyss was his private granary. The secret of that celestial remains must never be known to a second person.

But he couldn't directly refuse the offer. A direct refusal would arouse suspicion from the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations. "Why don't you want anyone to follow you? Is there something you're hiding?"

We need to try a different approach.

"I have no objection to Elder Xuanyin coming with me to search for the ruins," Lu Sheng said.

Xuan Yin's eyes lit up.

"But there's a condition."

"Please speak, Your Excellency."

"During my search of the ruins, she had to stay in the places I designated. If I told her to leave, she left. If I told her to stop, she stopped. If I told her to close her eyes, she closed them. Any deviation—"

Lu Sheng's tone remained unchanged.

"I will send her back to the Divine Court of All Things. But in the form of her remains."

Xuan Yin's expression changed slightly.

Lu Sheng's words were very straightforward.

You can follow me, but you have to obey me. Disobey, and you die.

"This condition—" Xuan Yin hesitated for a moment.

"You can go back and ask the Celestial Venerable," Lu Sheng said, "but my patience is almost exhausted. This transaction of yours has dragged on for almost three months. If it drags on any longer, I'll lose interest in even searching for the ruins."

Xuan Yin pursed her lips.

"No need to ask. I can accept your terms."

"You're making this decision yourself? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Heavenly Venerable when you return?"

"Before his departure, the Celestial Venerable granted me a certain degree of decision-making authority. As long as the core conditions remain unchanged, I can decide on the details myself."

Lu Sheng nodded.

"Alright. What about the star map and the coordinates of the ruins?"

Xuan Yin took out a palm-sized, emerald-green jade slip from her sleeve.

"The complete star map of the star sector controlled by the Divine Court of All Things, as well as the coordinates of 137 known ancient ruins and anomalous spatial regions, are all here."

One hundred and thirty-seven places?

Lu Sheng took the jade slip and scanned it with his dragon eyes.

The jade slip contained an immense amount of information: densely packed galaxy coordinates, star numbers, planetary data, civilization markers, and types of relics…

He casually flipped through a few pages and found the section marked "abnormal spatial region".

The location of the Old God Abyss —

No.

The star map of the Myriad Gods' Court does not mark the Old God's Abyss.

Lu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that while the Pantheon knew about the "spatial anomaly zone" in the Scavenger Alliance sector, it didn't know the exact coordinates of the Old God Abyss. Sending reconnaissance ships to patrol the area previously only resulted in a large-scale search.

it is good.

This gave him room to maneuver.

"I'll take the item." Lu Sheng put the jade slip into his storage space.

When will the oath of the law be taken?

"Anytime is fine."

"Then now."

Lu Sheng raised his right hand, and a gray light of law emerged from his palm.

"I, Lu Sheng, as a cultivator of the Spirit Saint Realm, have made a vow of law—I will not disclose the star map and relic coordinates provided by the Myriad Manifestations Divine Court to any third-party force. If I violate this vow, the law will retaliate."

A gray light flashed in his palm and then sank into his skin.

The oath of the law is established.

Xuan Yin nodded slightly as she watched this scene.

"The oath has been made. So—when do you intend to set off to search for the ruins?"

"Three days later."

"Three days. I understand. Then I will spend these three days—"

"You wait on Earth," Lu Sheng said. "I'll arrange for you to have a place to stay. Don't leave the area of ​​Ascension Island for three days."

"good."

Lu Sheng carried Xuan Yin through the atmosphere and landed on Dengxian Island.

The square was still deserted.

Lu Sheng summoned Luo Tianfei via communicator. "Arrange a room for her. Away from the command center and the secret room. Her movements are restricted to the residential area. Notify me immediately if she leaves the residential area."

"clear."

Consort Luo left with Xuan Yin.

Lu Sheng stood in the square, watching Xuan Yin's figure disappear at the end of the corridor.

He took out the emerald green jade slip from his storage space and examined it carefully again.

One hundred and thirty-seven ancient sites.

Are there any places here similar to the Old God Abyss? Are there any other treasure troves where he can obtain a large amount of Origin?

He needs time to study it carefully.

But that's not the most important thing right now.

The most important thing is that in three days, he will take Xuan Yin to "find the ruins".

In reality, he was going to the Abyss of the Old Gods.

But he couldn't let Xuan Yin know where the Old God Abyss was.

"I need to find a way to get rid of her."

Lu Sheng turned and walked towards the secret room, already making plans in his mind.
