Chapter 2068 - 1: Reuniting with Wei Tianchen—Is He Going to the Xuanhuang Realm?

Chapter 2068: Chapter 1: Reuniting with Wei Tianchen—Is He Going to the Xuanhuang Realm?

Zhao Xing said lightly, "I wouldn’t dare. How could I be as formidable as you? To survive under the bounty of a superpower and capture me once again."

Wei Tianchen stroked his beard and said, "If you had confessed honestly back then, you wouldn’t be in this predicament today. However, you are overthinking this time; I don’t intend to kill you."

Zhao Xing did not believe a word, but Wei Tianchen waved his hand and surprisingly opened the Boundary Ship Barrier to let Venerable Bamboo Sword enter the ship.

"Bamboo Sword, after I achieve my goal, I’ll hand him over to you unharmed," Wei Tianchen said.

Venerable Bamboo Sword nodded slightly, "Besides providing protection to my comrade in the upcoming time, I owe you a favor."

Originally, Zhao Xing just wanted Venerable Bamboo Sword to find an opportunity to rescue him or, failing that, request him to notify the Imperial Origin Realm.

Who would have thought it would end up like this?

Is it really this easy to survive?

Upon further thinking, capturing him didn’t necessarily mean Wei Tianchen wanted to kill him.

The situation now differs from before; Zhao Xing already knows the secret of the Seven-Star Chest, and Wei Tianchen is already a wanted man, so there’s no need for murder to cover up.

Once reaching his goal, handing Zhao Xing over to Venerable Bamboo Sword as a favor isn’t unfeasible.

Moreover, Venerable Bamboo Sword committed to providing protection.

Despite Wei Tianchen possessing numerous divine objects, he’s ultimately a doctor and not particularly skilled in combat, so he wouldn’t frequently engage in battles. Having a sword venerable to assist is quite advantageous.

Venerable Bamboo Sword is indifferent; having recently obtained the Seven-Star Fire Divine Sword, it’s all the same to him where he contemplates it, so leaving it here to ponder is perfectly fine.

Furthermore, Wei Tianchen is adept at concealment; following him to hide saves finding another way and conveniently allows gaining opportunities from the Ten Directions Mountain through Zhao Xing.

In summary, Zhao Xing surviving is profit for both—it’s a win-win result.

However, for Zhao Xing, his crisis isn’t over yet.

Wei Tianchen freed him under the premise of accomplishing his goal.

But how this can be achieved seems unlikely.

"Swish~"

Venerable Bamboo Sword studied the Seven-Star Fire Sword on the deck while Wei Tianchen led Zhao Xing inside the ship’s space.

The two sat opposite each other as the aroma of tea wafted.

"Zhao Xing, you should know why I invited you here for the second time," Wei Tianchen said, pouring a teapot and pushing it over.

"I know."

Wei Tianchen motioned outside, "Today is not like the past; I don’t need to kill you anymore. Now with Venerable Bamboo Sword as assurance, you can live."

"As long as you return what rightfully belongs to me, everyone will be safe. What do you think?"

Zhao Xing asked composedly, "What do you want?"

He needed to see how much Wei Tianchen knew.

Wei Tianchen said, "Fan Qianrou’s unsealing secret technique, her Seven-Star Chest, there’s still one last layer I can’t unlock."

"Since healing your injuries, your strength hasn’t decreased but rather surged. It’s impossible to have made such progress without acquiring Fan Qianrou’s secret technique. As a doctor, I can sense your mana and the aura on the Seven-Star Chest are from the same origin."

Hearing Wei Tianchen’s words, Zhao Xing understood it couldn’t be kept secret.

There’s no way; Wei Tianchen is knowledgeable and a Medical Dao Demigod, having survived fourteen tribulations!

Though not as exaggerated as Bo Wei, this is the pinnacle level demigod of the Desolate Domain Era.

Deceiving him truly isn’t easy.

Nevertheless, Zhao Xing didn’t intend to hide it; he planned to reveal some truths.

"Indeed, I did obtain Fan Qianrou’s secret technique," Zhao Xing stated:

"I want to cooperate with you, but I cannot teach it to you. It’s not that I don’t want to; I simply cannot."

"It has a divine power restriction, similar to the Heaven and Earth Laws, not permitting external teaching."

Wei Tianchen asked, "Can you reveal the name of the secret technique?"

Zhao Xing responded, "Heart Sealing Technique, I’ve completed the fundamental mana Chapter."

Wei Tianchen flipped his hand and brought out the Seven-Star Chest: "Since you’ve mastered it, unlock it for me."

Zhao Xing’s breath caught, "I can’t unlock it."

He knew exactly what was inside.

It was the terrifying poison leading to Fan Qianrou’s death, Desolate God Poison!

Even gods would be poisoned and die, should it be released?

Seeing Zhao Xing hesitate, Wei Tianchen frowned, "You know exactly what’s inside, don’t you?"

"Speak!"

Zhao Xing’s magic body was bound by a colorful net, instantly feeling pain.

Yet Wei Tianchen soon loosened the spell’s grip.

"Don’t force my hand again."

"It’s a poison."

"A poison capable of killing those in the God Realm."

He hoped to see fear on Wei Tianchen’s face but instead found him more exhilarated.

"What kind of poison is it?"

"I can’t say."

"What’s its effect?"

"Uncertain."

"What did Fan Qianrou actually instruct you?"

"She told me to take the Seven-Star Chest to the current Divine Emperor, saying only the Divine Emperor can handle it."

Wei Tianchen’s breathing became rapid.

Clearly, the contents of the Seven-Star Chest exceeded his expectations.

Being able to kill Fan Qianrou and only the Divine Emperor able to manage it?

"I can’t unlock it, truly can’t," Zhao Xing said, "It’s not an unsealing method but a reinforcing sealing method."

Wei Tianchen believed Zhao Xing’s account.

If it’s truly that potent, capable of killing those in the God Realm, Fan Qianrou indeed wouldn’t let anyone lightly unseal such a terrifying toxin.

If it were Wei Tianchen himself, he would’ve made similar arrangements as Fan Qianrou.

Taking a step back, even if it could be unlocked, it’s beyond Zhao Xing’s cultivation level to achieve it.

Thus, the situation returned to a deadlock.

Zhao Xing knew the secret technique but couldn’t unlock the Seven-Star Chest.

Wei Tianchen was confident in his cultivation and foundation but lacked the secret technique.
