Chapter 768 - 762: This Test Is Not Easy

The fat old man said this, and the Yin Celestial Son had no argument.

To integrate into the Returning Ruins and become the array spirit of the Returning Ruins.

Simply put, it’s to control the Returning Ruins.

In fact, even the Returning Ruins Arena where the fat old man serves as the array spirit is under the control of the Returning Ruins array spirit.

This is akin to the fat old man being a retainer who needs to find a lord.

At the very least, this lord must be acknowledged by the fat old man.

Letting Lin Yuan enter the Returning Ruins on his own is, frankly, a kind of trial by the fat old man for Lin Yuan.

If Lin Yuan can’t even manage to enter the Returning Ruins, then he doesn’t deserve to become the array spirit of the Returning Ruins.

The fat old man spoke to this extent, and the Yin Celestial Son couldn’t press further.

Continuing to press would just show he lacks tact.

"Since it’s settled, let’s stick to our agreement!"

"When Lin Yuan enters the Returning Ruins, fellow friend must do your utmost to help him cut out the Good Corpse and integrate it into the Returning Ruins." The Yin Celestial Son reached an agreement with the fat old man.

The fat old man is a native of the Returning Ruins, and the Three Corpses Cutting Method was passed down from the Returning Ruins.

Undoubtedly, regarding the Three Corpses Cutting Method, the fat old man might be even more skilled than the dean from those years.

At that time, the dean could help Lin Yuan cut out the Evil Corpse; with the help of the fat old man, helping Lin Yuan cut out the Good Corpse shouldn’t be a problem.

"What’s said is done!"

"Once I promise, I will deliver."

"As long as he can reach the Returning Ruins, I will surely aid him." The fat old man vowed earnestly.

After reaching the agreement, the Yin Celestial Son exited the Returning Ruins.

Once the Yin Celestial Son withdrew from the Returning Ruins, the array spirit controlled by the Yin Celestial Son using the Reincarnation Mark slowly regained consciousness.

Seeing himself unknowingly floating above the Returning Ruins Arena, the array spirit of the prohibition of flight array asked puzzledly: "Senior, why am I here?"

Due to the disparity in power, he couldn’t recall the part of his memory controlled by the Yin Celestial Son.

The fat old man didn’t explain either, simply gestured: "Nothing happened, you may leave."

Since the fat old man wouldn’t speak, the array spirit of the prohibition of flight dared not ask further, continuing to drift in the Returning Ruins like a cloud.

"Let’s begin!"

"This is his chance, and the chance for the Returning Ruins!" The fat old man murmured to himself, thinking about his agreement with the Yin Celestial Son.

The fat old man also hoped that Lin Yuan could arrive at the Returning Ruins and cut out a corpse to become the array spirit of the Returning Ruins.

The Returning Ruins are already on the brink of ruin!

Treating a dead horse as though it were alive, the fat old man wouldn’t give up on any hope that could revive the Returning Ruins.

...

...

Underworld.

Six Paths of Reincarnation Place.

The Yin Celestial Son slowly opened his eyes, his breath returning to usual.

As the physical being of the Yin Celestial Son, Lin Yuan knew it was the Yin Celestial Son’s consciousness returning from the Returning Ruins.

"How did it go?"

"Did you meet the fat old man?" Lin Yuan asked.

The Yin Celestial Son nodded.

Lin Yuan continued to ask: "Did he agree?"

The Yin Celestial Son first nodded, then shook his head, and replied: "He agreed half way."

Lin Yuan: "????"

Lin Yuan looked puzzled, not grasping the Yin Celestial Son’s meaning.

An agreement is an agreement.

Not agreeing means not agreeing.

This halfway agreement, is it a yes or a no?

Seeing Lin Yuan’s confusion, the Yin Celestial Son slowly began to explain: "He agreed to do everything possible to help you cut out the Good Corpse and integrate it into the Returning Ruins, becoming the array spirit of the Returning Ruins."

"However, he wouldn’t help you enter the Returning Ruins, but rather wants you to go there yourself."

"Going there, this would be a kind of trial for you, right?"

Immediately, the Yin Celestial Son shared their conversation within the Returning Ruins, conveying it to Lin Yuan.

After hearing the story, Lin Yuan said bitterly: "This trial is not so simple!"

"If not careful, it might become a matter of life and death."

Lin Yuan had met the fat old man before, the fat old man himself mentioned that the rule of entering the Returning Ruins Arena only once a day was changed after he was squeezed by the Sui Ren Clan.

Since it could be changed before, it can be changed back now.

As long as the rule of entering the arena only once a day is lifted, he could bring Lin Yuan into the Returning Ruins Arena at any time.

Clearly, he could have done it, but the fat old man didn’t and called it a trial.

This one trial could result in Lin Yuan having to contend with Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and Buddha, possibly risking his life.

The Yin Celestial Son laughed, advising: "There are no pie falling from the sky just like that."

"The greater the risk, the greater the reward."

"Only by relying on our own abilities to cross the void into the Returning Ruins can we qualify to feast on this big cake that is the Returning Ruins."

Lin Yuan shrugged and told the Yin Celestial Son: "I understand all that, but it’s tough."

The difficulty was clear to the Yin Celestial Son.

The Void is the turf of Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and Buddha; wanting to enter the Void without being spotted will require the right timing, and circumstances.

....

...

Underworld.

As Lin Yuan and the Yin Celestial Son fretted over the right timing, circumstances, and unity to enter the Void.

Within the Void, the discussion between Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and Buddha was about to present an excellent opportunity for them.

Void.

Wa Huang’s Palace.

Wa Huang sat at the head position, with the Demon Lord and Buddha sitting at guest seats on either side.

Now that the remnants of the Void Race have all transformed into array spirits, trapped within the Returning Ruins.

With the troubles from the Void Race gone, they can now wholly focus on dealing with the Yin Celestial Son.

Three against one, they have the advantage.

Of course, as they cannot personally enter the realm, they need thorough planning before dealing with the Yin Celestial Son.

With three sitting together, Buddha first spoke: "The action against the Void Race this time showed excellent performance from the Peacock Great Ming King, it seems Wa Huang’s method of training his disciples is impressive!"

As it’s known, compliments always hit the mark.

Especially when these compliments come from someone as powerful as Buddha, making Wa Huang’s heart feel pleased.

"Naturally!"

"My Celestial Heart Dao Planting Technique is unbreakable below Tier One!"

"Now the Peacock Great Ming King, even if I let him go on a killing spree in the realm, he would do so without hesitation!" Wa Huang spoke with full confidence.

"Wa Huang’s means are impressive, impressive indeed!" Buddha continued to praise.

Of course, Buddha didn’t just flatter Wa Huang for no reason.

Buddha had his own motives.

After some complimenting, Buddha asked Wa Huang: "Wa Huang, we did reach an agreement before."

"Borrowing your piece, the Peacock Great Ming King, for me and the Demon Lord to use."

"Rest assured, after using him, I will return him to you intact."

Wa Huang indeed remembered this agreement.

It was an extremely humiliating agreement for Wa Huang.

Not very long ago, it was the Demon Lord and Buddha who almost forcibly attacked Wa Huang’s Palace, forcing Wa Huang to agree to this.

However, since it was already agreed, Wa Huang couldn’t go back on his word now.

Bringing up past matters and old grievances now would only damage the alliance between the three.
