A World Worth Protecting

Chapter 940: Chapter 940 — Thank You, senior!

Wang Baole’s words were firm and resolute, and there was a sense of fearlessness in them. It was as if he could give up his life, but even if he died in this life, he had to die standing, not kneeling. That was why he could help the other party, however, that was not because he was a threat, but because that was what he wanted to do.

He was a person who knew how to repay favors, and he was a person who was indomitable. His heart was filled with sincerity.

Even as he spoke, Wang Baole himself felt that he had always been like this. His gaze deepened, and he stood there like a pine tree. He stared at the paper figurine in front of him and spoke calmly.

“Senior, please do not threaten me. If not, wouldn’t junior’s repayment become a form of cowardice and submission?”

“Therefore, senior, please take back your words!”Wang Baole’s face was filled with displeasure. As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves, and anger appeared on his face naturally.

This stunned the paper figurine.

Even though it had observed Wang Baole for a long time and had some understanding of his personality, there was still a moment when it was shocked by Wang Baole’s words. It even showed respect on its face instinctively, however, it quickly felt that Wang Baole’s behavior did not match its understanding.

However, he had not been by Wang Baole’s side for long, so he could not make a judgment. After a moment of silence, it put down its thoughts and nodded at Wang Baole.

“It’s my fault for speaking wrongly. I will have an explanation for this matter in the future. In short… Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist!”

Wang Baole’s expression softened when he heard that. He looked at the paper figurine, shook his head, and sighed.

…

“Forget it. Senior is also concerned about the lives of the people. I can guess that what senior wants me to do is most likely related to the safety of the Starfall Empire. If senior thinks it’s appropriate, you can tell me what you need me to do. Although my cultivation is low, I still have some hot blood to spill!

“However, now is not the time to talk about this. Junior also has something that senior needs to help me with… where are the illusion crystals here?”Wang Baole said solemnly.

Deep down, he was very satisfied with his previous performance. After all, the high officials’autobiographies had said that mutual respect was the prerequisite for both parties to be satisfied with their cooperation!

For example, Wang Baole felt that if he gave the impression that he was cooperating because he was threatened, then he would definitely be in a passive position in the cooperation. It would be difficult for him to obtain additional benefits, but it was different now.

That was indeed the case. If Wang Baole did not agree to help, it would have been fine. The paper figurine could have used some forceful methods to force him. However, Wang Baole appeared to be extremely sincere, as if he was sincerely helping from the bottom of his heart, that made it impossible for the paper figurine to force him. After all, the other party was willing to help him from the bottom of his heart. That was already perfect for its purpose.

There was no reason for it to force him again.

However, their cooperation had turned into helping each other, and the atmosphere had changed unknowingly. This made the paper figurine feel a little lost in the depths of his heart.

“How did it become like this with just a few words?”The paper man frowned slightly. Previously, he had felt that the other party had many secrets, but to be honest, he had only cared about his background and background, he hadn’t paid too much attention to the other party.

But now… things were different. The paper man, who had come to his senses, realized that not only did this foreign cultivator have a mysterious background, his background was extraordinary, and his intelligence was excellent. Such a person, even if his cultivation base wasn’t very high.., however, if he was given time to grow, there would be a place for him in the starry skies in the future.

With such thoughts in mind, the paper man looked deeply at Wang Baole. After a moment of thought, he decided to change his previous thoughts. He had originally intended to reveal some clues so that the other party could eventually find the illusion crystal, that was easy for him. It wasn’t a problem at all.

However, now, he felt that he could be more direct. After all… He didn’t want to let Wang Baole’s sincerity cool down. Therefore, after looking at Wang Baole, the paper figurine spoke slowly.

“Little friend, I have some reasons that I can’t tell you. It’s not convenient for me to show my face for too long, so I won’t appear most of the time. However, I can use my senses to help you find the location of an illusion crystal. You have to retrieve it yourself.”

Wang Baole’s eyes lit up when he heard that. He nodded immediately.

The paper figurine had reached a consensus with Wang Baole. It closed its eyes. There were obvious ripples and distortions around its body. It seemed to be using a method that Wang Baole didn’t understand to sense the entire illusion star. It didn’t take long. It took about ten breaths of time, the paper figurine opened its eyes. It raised its right hand and formed a light spot, sending it to Wang Baole.

“Feel this object. There’s the location of an illusionary crystal inside!”

“Thank you, Senior!”Wang Baole was excited. After weighing the pros and cons, he felt that it was unlikely that the other party was trying to harm him. Therefore, he decisively took the speck of light in front of him and scanned it with his divine perception. Immediately, a loud bang rang out in his mind, a guiding force was formed.

He could clearly feel that there seemed to be a vibration resonating with him at a location not too far away. Therefore, after cupping his fists at the paper figurine, Wang Baole did not waste any time. He moved his body and headed in the direction that the resonance had pointed out, he charged at full speed.

He was so fast that after two hours, Wang Baole had arrived at the location of the resonance. It appeared to be a basin. It was completely empty, with only a few dozen phantoms that had scattered and drifted over.

Wang Baole was unfamiliar with these phantoms. He knew that he hadn’t killed them. They must have been death projections from other prodigies. He scanned the area with his supernatural awareness and confirmed that there were no other living people around. He didn’t hesitate any further, he dashed towards the basin.

His movement immediately attracted the attention of the phantoms. They raised their heads abruptly, and the moment they looked at Wang Baole, they roared and charged towards him frantically.

However, most of these phantoms were at the nascent soul realm, and the strongest one was only at the supernatural realm. To Wang Baole, their attack power was inferior to that of a mosquito. He didn’t even need to look at them. They swept through the area with a whistle, the windstorm that was stirred up was enough to tear them apart completely. There wasn’t even the slightest obstruction. Wang Baole entered the depths of the basin in the blink of an eye.

A moment later, when his figure rushed out, his expression was one of excitement. He held a white crystal the size of a fist in his hand.

The crystal was crystal clear and seemed to possess some kind of special power. If one looked at it for a long time, one would start to hallucinate.

It was… The Illusion Crystal!

“Little friend, with this in your hand, find a place to hide. When the trial ends, you can use this crystal to enter the next trial and fight for the star guiding drumstick!”The paper figurine’s figure appeared beside Wang Baole and spoke slowly, it materialized beside Wang Baole and spoke slowly.

“Thank you for your help, Senior!”Wang Baole immediately cupped his fists when he heard that. The trial was originally very difficult, but now, he had experienced the joy of being the chosen one. Obtaining the illusion crystal was actually so simple.., he couldn’t help but feel excited. He blinked, and his expression was filled with gratitude and passion as he continued speaking.

“Senior, can you bring me to find all the other illusion crystals?”

“Find all of them?”The paper figurine was a little surprised.

“I can, but there’s no point in doing so. There must be thirty people in this trial. Only then can all the illusion crystals be activated. Each person can only keep one illusion crystal. Even if you manage to obtain all of them, within a few hours at most, twenty-nine of them will automatically disappear and reappear in their original positions.”

“Is that so…”Wang Baole felt a little regretful when he heard that. He had originally planned that if it was possible, he would be in control of the decision of the trial. When he met someone who was pleasing to the eye, he would sell it to the other party at a lower price, with that, thirty illusion crystals would be enough for him to make a huge fortune.

“I can still sell the position… but if that’s the case, the price won’t be able to rise.”Wang baole sighed. He felt that it was too difficult to earn money. He was about to give up on the idea, but in the next moment, an idea flashed through his mind, he looked at the paper figurine and suddenly spoke.

“Senior, do you have any way to leave a seal on the illusory crystals so that when the time limit for the trial ends, if the seal is not removed, no one can enter the next trial?”
