Chapter 1103: Chapter 23: Destiny (Yue)
“Are you willing to become the enemy of the entire universe?”
The Palace Spirit spoke, and its words were shocking.
The Deep Sea Saint Emperor, even knowing there were issues with the inheritance, was taken aback.
To be an enemy of the entire cosmos, such boasting!
However, he quickly thought of the situation of this trial; given the strength displayed at this moment, being an enemy of the cosmos didn’t seem too difficult.
Of course, the premise was that the Lifeless True Saint doesn’t intervene.
Seeing the two remain silent, the Palace Spirit continued: “How about it, are you scared? You are surely aware of our strength; even the Twelfth Realm is nothing more than an ant. Following us is undeniably the right choice. I can give you some time to think about it; you can decide and inform me later.”
The Deep Sea Saint Emperor and the Seventh Realm fell into deep contemplation.
The Palace Spirit did not disturb them.
Wang Sheng observed all this.
“So it’s directly getting to the point… I thought it would be more complicated, but if it’s like this, what were the previous hurdles for?”
Initially, he believed Xuan Yuan Palace would employ other methods, but the result was so simple and crude.
But he trusted that the earlier trials surely weren’t in vain.
Otherwise, if they truly wanted to recruit people, why not do it right when all inheritors entered Xuan Yuan Palace; wouldn’t that be more optimal?
Those were several Saint Emperors.
But looking at the situation of tampering in secret during the seventh stage and killing other Saint Emperors, it was clear Xuan Yuan Palace wasn’t concerned about the Saint Emperors.
If that’s the case, keeping the Deep Sea Saint Emperor and that Seventh Realm must mean there is something about them that attracts the Palace Spirit or that can be utilized.
“I shall see what the final outcome will be?”
Though the Palace Spirit said it was giving time to consider, it didn’t offer much.
Before long, it inquired again.
“Have you pondered it over?”
The Seventh Realm Inheritor hesitated, while the Deep Sea Saint Emperor directly replied: “I agree.”
The Seventh Realm Inheritor was stunned; he agreed just like that?
But he quickly realized they had no luxury of choice.
Needless to say, Xuan Yuan Palace could easily kill even someone at the Twelfth Realm; it wasn’t challenging to make him, a Seventh Realm, die.
Besides, now he was slowly processing things.
The inheritance wasn’t as simple as imagined.
The performances of numerous Saint Emperors during the fifth stage were likely intentional.
Now, there was no room for choice.
He was sure, if he didn’t agree, death would be certain.
“I agree too.”
Upon hearing the confirmation from both, the Palace Spirit smiled, quite satisfied.
“Very well, you have made the right choice and you surely won’t regret it.”
The Deep Sea Saint Emperor didn’t show any reaction, but internally he grumbled.
‘Saint Emperors are easily killed, yet no regrets; if it weren’t for the True Saint’s order, I’d have left long ago…’
He agreed quickly because the True Saint delivered a notice.
Knowing the True Saint was behind it, he had no hesitation.
Having reached this point, failure cannot be an option.
Although he didn’t know the True Saint’s intentions, as long as he completed the task, benefits would certainly be ample.
The Palace Spirit was naturally not as formidable as Wang Sheng and couldn’t read minds; it did not know the Deep Sea Saint Emperor’s thoughts but continued:
“Since you agreed, you have passed the eighth trial. In the forthcoming ninth trial, you may obtain the true inheritance. Of course, attaining the inheritance also requires a price from you.”
The Deep Sea Saint Emperor didn’t hesitate and directly inquired: “May I ask what we need to do, and what the exact purpose of Xuan Yuan Palace is? Why become enemies of the entire cosmos and oppose the five top forces?”
This was Wang Sheng’s concern, and also the Deep Sea Saint Emperor’s.
The Palace Spirit didn’t hide this aspect:
“A good question. Even if you hadn’t asked, I would have shared it.
Xuan Yuan Palace, since you managed to enter, you likely understood of its former glory.
And how it fell—besieged and completely destroyed by numerous Saint Emperors, the enemies were the founders of the subsequent five top powers: Yuanhua, Xing Hou, Xuan Yin, Chong Xu, and Black Abyss. These five were the principal offenders, and the current Xuan Yuan Palace is the direct descendants that luckily escaped back then. Having cultivated to great success, they merely seek revenge.”
Hearing this, the Deep Sea Saint Emperor felt a stirring, but soon calmed, as if nothing was wrong.
The Palace Spirit, after finishing, added:
“Choosing to join us is the most correct choice; the Thirteen Realm’s power is something your universe cannot withstand.”
“Is it purely for revenge?” the Deep Sea Saint Emperor muttered.
He thought the reason was too juvenile for someone of Thirteen Realm’s strength.
To seek revenge, deploying such schemes?
“Naturally, some things can’t be settled despite high cultivation. The annihilation of Xuan Yuan Palace must be avenged.”
After a period of silence, the Deep Sea Saint Emperor took a deep breath and said: “Then, what do we need to do?”
“Easy, to cultivate the Secret Technique, and then set up the altar,” the Palace Spirit stated curtly.
“Secret Technique, it’s the technique we’ve been cultivating throughout the trial?” the Seventh Realm inheritor queried.
“That’s a test to see if you qualify to cultivate the Secret Technique; this technique is an inheritance of Xuan Yuan Palace, not everyone is eligible to practice. Passing the first six trials indicates you are qualified.” the Palace Spirit responded.
“Then what about the seventh trial?”
The Palace Spirit glanced at the questioning Deep Sea Saint Emperor with a meaningful look, but continued explaining: “That too is a selection process; everything is destiny’s choice. Destiny has selected you, hence you were able to pass.”
