Chapter 819 - 369: Taiyin Treasure Vault 3

Qingyunzi originally thought that with these Secret Techniques, even if he was still no match for Chu Xiu, he would at least have the confidence to fight to a draw. But unexpectedly, his opponent’s soul, for some unknown reason, had surged in strength in just one short month since their last encounter!

Although his recent attack wasn’t his ultimate Divine Technique, merely making the opponent sway a little still left Qingyunzi feeling incredulous.

On the other side, after pondering for a while, Chu Xiu also stopped his actions.

He had some apprehensions about this being, born from the consciousness of an Ancient Cultivator and having lived for two thousand years; since the other side had conceded, he didn’t want to push too hard.

After all, his previous actions were merely to apply pressure. With Chu Xiu’s disposition, how could he truly give up on the opportunity of the Taiyin Treasure Vault?

The eight Immortals behind Qingyunzi, having personally felt the terror of Chu Xiu’s power, tacitly remained silent.

What followed became straightforward. Qingyunzi agreed to all of Chu Xiu’s demands, and without further delay, everyone prepared to set off to the origin of the Death Qi.

At this moment, the four from the Celestial Mechanics Guild, after hesitating for a long time, finally couldn’t help but say, "Esteemed senior, we wonder if we could..."

"Oh, it’s you," Chu Xiu cast them a sidelong glance and asked Qingyunzi, "Is there a way to recover their bodies?"

Qingyunzi had long noticed the four, and seeing Chu Xiu inquire, he said, "The Tribulation within them has penetrated every cell, and can only be forcibly neutralized with Immortal Qi, but this requires no small amount of Immortal Qi, probably about..."

Qingyunzi flipped his wrist, and a large mass of Immortal Qi appeared in his hand.

Looking at Chu Xiu, he said, "Since I have already promised all my Immortal Qi to Daoist friend, whether to save or not is entirely up to your choice."

As the words fell, the four from the Celestial Mechanics Guild looked pleadingly towards Chu Xiu, and Shen Tianxie hurriedly said, "We earnestly implore our senior to save us. Our family will most certainly reward you richly afterwards!"

Chu Xiu calculated the mass of Immortal Qi, determining that if directly converted with the Tribulation Pearl, it could be exchanged for about two hundred thousand Cause and Effect Points.

With this in mind, he said, "One million Cause and Effect Points."

With that, the four were all stupefied, clearly startled by Chu Xiu’s exorbitant demand, but soon they gritted their teeth and nodded, "As you wish, senior."

Chu Xiu nodded and added, "There is another option: if that Mechanician named Shen Tianxie can ascend to Heroic Spirit level and help me in a battle, it will offset these Immortal Qi."

The decisive battle with Ashtar is imminent. After such a long time, the construction of the Titan Giant Mechanism, handled by the government, should be problem-free, but relying on Guan Ke to drive it is too strenuous.

If replaced by a Heroic Spirit Level War Fortress (S), it would be entirely different and could even be used as a weapon against a Demigod.

The main point is, Chu Xiu doesn’t believe that these four can afford that many Cause and Effect Points. To his knowledge, they were already scraping funds from their family to gather an Anchor Point for the Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace.

Who knows when they could ever repay this million Cause and Effect Points, and it’s even possible they would endlessly delay repaying it.

This proposal caused a myriad of changes in the expressions of the four, although Shen Tianxie had already made adequate preparations for the Heroic Spirit breakthrough, but like Jiang Miaoyin, he just lacked the courage to take that crucial step.

Chu Xiu no longer spent energy on these four and looked up, signaling Qingyunzi to lead the way. Everyone sped through Penglai, and soon they saw a giant vortex spinning in the sky from a distance.

A torrent of unimaginable Death Qi gushed from it, forming a massive Domain spanning several miles; in its face, the Death Qi Waterfall seemed as weak as a baby.

Qingyunzi took a deep breath and shouted, "Daoist friend, watch carefully!"

With that, he and the eight Immortals behind him formed a mystic Nine Palace Array, with several Dharma Artifacts suspended beside each person.

These Dharma Artifacts dispelled the surrounding Death Qi, resembling a sharp dagger thrust straight toward the center of the Death Qi vortex!
