Chapter 764A
The Radiance Temple Master was placed in a difficult position. Her beautiful face was ice cold as she clenched her teeth. Hu Fu was the Sect Master of the Hidden Fog Sect, so he was naturally the best point of contrast for her. In order to make use of the power of time, he had even offered his lifespan. What was she supposed to do? Was she supposed to sacrifice her lifespan too?
The key point was that Bei Qing was living a happy and prosperous life right now, one that was brilliant and colorful. She had yet to find a man pleasing to her eyes who she could dual cultivate with, so she was unwilling to die like this.
Eyes gathered toward her, waiting to see what move the Radiance Temple Master would make next. Several of these gazes came from behind her, unable to hide the anticipation in their eyes – these cheap bitches, they want me to sacrifice my life in vain and benefit them for nothing? Keep on dreaming!
With a deep breath, the Radiance Temple Master lifted a hand and struck her forehead. A rainbow-hued light gushed out and a dazzling seed flew into the air.
“Myriad Enlightenment Fruit!”
The Shadow Clan Patriarch shouted out loud, his eyes shaking.
Behind him, Elder One Eye’s complexion changed. “What? That is the Myriad Enlightenment Fruit? Is it the legendary…”
The Shadow Clan Patriarch interrupted him. He looked over and said, “Radiance Temple indeed has incredible methods. I feel nothing but admiration!”
Everyone beneath the heavens was being maliciously played with.
“Myriad Enlightenment Fruit…”
A voice suddenly echoed in Qin Yu’s mind. An invisible strength spread out, instantly covering Qin Yu’s body. It shielded him from the several independent consciousnesses within his body and simultaneously isolated him from outside connections.
Little blue lamp!
It had been a long time since it contacted Qin Yu on its own initiative. As his cultivation increased, it became increasingly discreet.
As he heard its voice at this moment, even though they had always been connected, Qin Yu felt as if he was seeing a friend again after a long separation.
However, Qin Yu didn’t waste any time. He directly said, “Is this Myriad Enlightenment Fruit useful to you?” If the little blue lamp was directly communicating with him, it inevitably had to take a great risk in doing so.
“This fruit is useless to me, but it is a treasure to you. The reason I arrived here with my consciousness is for this altar before you.”
The closer it was, the more clearly it could feel a mature power of time lingering around this altar.
After absorbing it, the effects would be even better. Of course, from another point of consideration, the risks were also greater.
After all, someone who could control the power of time to such a degree had to be an incomparably formidable character.
And most importantly, the little blue lamp didn’t feel the aura of death from this altar. In other words, the master who refined this altar was still alive.
“Is this bait?”
In the distant world, the figure covered in light softly mumbled beneath his breath, a hesitant look on his face.
The risks were higher than he had hoped. But to give up like this was too pitiful.
Moreover, according to the wisp of dark fate he felt, while there might be some dangers here, it shouldn’t be too great a problem.
Let’s do it!
“Qin Yu, I have brought you something. Use it as a sacrifice.” As the fluctuation of consciousness fell, somewhere within Qin Yu’s soul space quietly collapsed. A verdant green leaf flew out. This leaf was three to four fingers long and the section where it had been severed was still shining with liquid, proving it was freshly cut.
Whoosh –
The leaf flew out. It circled around Qin Yu’s soul and danced in the air, looking especially affectionate.
But at this time, Qin Yu was frozen solid, his thoughts nearly at a standstill. He could feel the wild strength coming from this leaf. Even just a tiny amount of its strength was enough to tear his soul to pieces!
As if discovering Qin Yu’s state of distress, the grass leaf stopped in front of him and diligently tried to restrain its aura.
Hu –
Qin Yu let out a long breath of relief, feeling as if he had made a round trip to death’s door. Then, he looked at the somewhat aggrieved grass leaf in front of him and thought, “Star Cutting Grass?”
The grass leaf forcefully nodded.
It’s me! My master Qin Yu, you’ve finally remembered me!
Qin Yu recalled that weak and small grass from when he entered the distant world long, long ago.
It had been nothing but a leaf then, but now it was formidable to such a degree?
As expected, incredible speeds of cultivation could only be spoken of in relative terms.
These years, he felt as his cultivation boundary was racing forward like a carriage, but others had taken a rocket straight up into space!
After a brief sadness, Qin Yu thought, “You are the sacrificial offering?”
The little blue lamp said, “Do not worry, there will be no problem. Moreover, if you want to save that cultivator who is offering his lifespan, you should do it quickly. He is going to die soon.”
Qin Yu looked up at Hu Fu. Hu Fu’s thin body was withered like a stick and he was wreathed in death energy. His vitality was like a candle in the wind, about to extinguish at any moment.
“Sect Master, Sect Master!”
“Why must you do this? Even if we cannot take the position of leader, there will still be chances in the future!”
“That damned Radiance Temple has harmed my Sect Master. This enmity will be paid back a hundred times in the future!”
The Hidden Fog Sect Elders were filled with despair. They never imagined that their ordinarily cowardly Sect Master who had never shown any outstanding ability would actually be so staunch and firm in his actions now.
“Teacher…” Yun Die couldn’t bear watching this. She was a kind-hearted girl.
Qin Yu said, “Don’t worry. He won’t die yet.”
He lifted his hand. A light flashed in his palm and a grass leaf appeared.
The moment the grass leaf appeared, Qin Yu felt attention turn his way, as if an invisible eye had locked onto him.
“You, want to offer a sacrifice?”
Qin Yu nodded, “I am willing to offer this grass leaf to help the Hidden Fog Sect use the power of time.”
“Of course!”
Without needing the scale balance to weigh it, the thought fluctuations readily agreed. In the next moment, an absorbing strength fell on the grass leaf.
Qin Yu’s eyes flashed and he clenched his fingers together, holding tightly onto the grass leaf. “Hold on.”
“You want to go back on your word?”
Above the altar, the gray balance scale released an extremely terrifying aura.
Qin Yu shook his head, “I just have a few conditions.”
At this moment, everyone was shocked. This was the first time they had ever seen someone trying to bargain with the Time Altar.
Wasn’t he afraid of death?
It contained the power of time! Even an idiot would know that its origins were shocking!
The Time Altar might merely need to flick a finger to grind everyone here to pieces.
In this sort of situation, this person actually dared to set forth conditions. Everyone looked at Qin Yu as if he were a lunatic.
Do you think that the altar would be so interested in what you are holding that it would allow your provocations?
Dream on you idiot!
Subconsciously, the Shadow Clan and Radiance Temple cultivators opened up some distance between them and Qin Yu.
The remaining Hidden Fog Sect cultivators all had constipated expressions. They couldn’t draw back, but staying didn’t seem like a good idea.
Only Yun Die stood where she was, her eyes flashing like stars as she looked at Qin Yu.
He was worthily her teacher! Even when facing the consciousness of the Time Altar, a legendary existence, he still dared to put forth his demands.
She believed that if her teacher was doing this, he was absolutely confident in his success!
The Time Altar was quiet for a moment. Then the terrifying aura coming from the balance scale slowly restrained itself. “State your request.”
Succeeded?
He had actually succeeded?
The Radiance Temple people were stunned. They never imagined such a result. Big Brother Time Altar, with your status and age, you dare to compromise so casually? This doesn’t make any sense at all!
You should have slapped this bastard down instead, reducing him to pieces!
A foreboding feeling gushed out from their hearts. To even cause the Time Altar to compromise, it was clear this grass leaf was out of the ordinary.
Could it be that the solemn Radiance Temple would be defeated by a grass leaf?
No, this could not be allowed!
Bei Qing clenched her teeth. The speed at which treasures gushed out from the spatial crack increased.
She had even contributed the Myriad Enlightenment Fruit. After paying such a severe price, the Hidden Fog Sect could forget ever standing back up!
As long as the sacrificial offerings were enough, she could definitely make the Time Altar change its mind.
Qin Yu looked at the fiercely twisted face of the Radiance Temple Master and secretly shook his head at her desperate struggle.
Since the little blue lamp had taken action, how could it give any of you room to revolt? Even if you sacrifice yourself, nothing will change.
It was just that he had no idea what had been done to this Star Cutting Grass leaf that would cause the Time Altar to unexpectedly be so interested in it.
Qin Yu collected his thoughts. He said, “First, relieve the plundering of Hu Fu’s lifespan.”
“Very well.”
The swallowing strength coming out from the Time Altar directly vanished.
Hu Fu weakened and slumped down to the ground. Although his life had been preserved, he was nothing but a lamp nearly dry of oil.
Qin Yu raised a finger, “My second request. Radiance Temple offered the Myriad Enlightenment Fruit just now. I am interested in it.”
Time Altar: …
This was the first time that someone had dared to try and pull out something that had already entered its belly.
After a brief silence, the thought fluctuation responded, “Fine!”
Hum –
Hum –
The balance scale fiercely trembled. Moments later, a rainbow-colored light flew out from the tray, as if it had emerged from the depths of the abyss.
Pa –
Qin Yu grabbed it.
