Chapter 1071 -15 Lin Yuan and Nine Profound Venerable (Request for Monthly Tickets)_2

Those who can cultivate to the Chaos Realm possess minds that operate at incredible speeds, able to deduce Lin Yuan’s intent from mere traces of evidence.

“Indeed.” Lin Yuan nodded.

The reason he had not left yet was solely to reclaim the Stone People Clan, still held under the Nine Profound Venerable’s control.

“The lives of trillions of Stone People rest entirely on a single thought of mine.” The Nine Profound Venerable turned his palm, revealing a miniature world before him, inside of which countless Stone People were imprisoned.

“I want the Chaos Tree in that Mysterious Space, or all these Stone People will die.” The Nine Profound Venerable said as he stared at Lin Yuan.

“You want the Chaos Tree?” Lin Yuan studied the Nine Profound Venerable with interest. “I did promise that young fellow I’d try to save the Stone People, but I only promised to try—it’s uncertain whether I can save them or not.”

“The value of the Chaos Tree is something we both understand. If I were to just hand it over to you, wouldn’t I have labored for nothing?”

Lin Yuan’s tone remained calm as he added, “If it’s all for nothing, why would I bother saving anyone?”

“Threatening me with the Stone People? Useless. If you want, go ahead and slaughter every Stone Person right now.”

Lin Yuan eyed the Nine Profound Venerable with an amused expression.

These words made the Nine Profound Venerable’s expression shift slightly.

He could indeed discern that Lin Yuan did not care about the lives or deaths of the Stone People.

Now that Cang Yulong had fallen into the hands of Lin Yuan, even if all the Stone People were exterminated, Lin Yuan could still potentially extract the coordinates of the Mysterious Space from him.

And if the Nine Profound Venerable were to wipe out all the Stone People, it might provoke Cang Yulong into willingly revealing the location of the Mysterious Space to Lin Yuan.

Thus,

The Nine Profound Venerable found himself caught in a dilemma.

“Had I required the assistance of the Sin Pond in this secret domain, you wouldn’t even have had the chance to take away Cang Yulong.”

There was an unmistakable tone of resentment in the Nine Profound Venerable’s voice.

The Sin Pond was a unique feature of this secret domain, unparalleled throughout the Chaos Void. He had used it to torment Cang Yulong, forcing him to reveal the Mysterious Space’s coordinates.

In truth,

The Nine Profound Venerable had already acted with extreme caution.

He had even anticipated worst-case scenarios where other Venerables might have intervened.

Near the Sin Pond, the Nine Profound Venerable had quietly arranged numerous formations. Any Venerable—even those at the pinnacle of Chaos Realm—who wasn’t highly skilled in formation mastery would be detected as soon as they approached.

But Lin Yuan?

Lin Yuan had managed to whisk Cang Yulong away right under his nose, suggesting that Lin Yuan’s mastery of formations was comparable to—or surpassed—those pinnacle Chaos Realm experts skilled in formations.

Lin Yuan was not only a Chaos Venerable but also adept in formation mastery, in addition to knowing about the Mysterious Space.

With these three criteria in mind, across dozens of nearby Void Domains, the Nine Profound Venerable could not think of anyone else who could fit the description.

“So, what do you intend to do now?”

The Nine Profound Venerable asked in a low voice.

“Ultimately, I did promise that young fellow I’d try to save the Stone People.” Lin Yuan shook his head and said, “But for you to hand them over directly, I suspect you’d be unwilling.”

“Here’s what I propose,” Lin Yuan said. “Let’s have a duel. If I win, you hand over the Stone People to me. If you win, you still hand over the Stone People, but I will grant you a replicable inheritance from the Mysterious Space.”

“If I win, I get an inheritance that can be replicated?” The Nine Profound Venerable felt aggrieved.

For Lin Yuan, this arrangement brought almost no risk.

“That Chaos Tree…” The Nine Profound Venerable still attempted to negotiate.

“Forget the Chaos Tree.” Lin Yuan shook his head and said, “If you refuse this, you might as well slaughter all the Stone People right now.”

The Nine Profound Venerable stared at Lin Yuan. He could sense that the choice Lin Yuan had laid out was already his bottom line.

“Agreed.”

After much deliberation, the Nine Profound Venerable finally conceded.

There was no way around it.

Slaughtering all the Stone People brought him no benefit whatsoever.

Agreeing to Lin Yuan’s proposal, however, still left him with a chance to obtain the inheritance from the Mysterious Space.

Inheritance.

For a Chaos Venerable, inheritance was still critically important.

The key point was: it was better than nothing.

“Swear your oath under the Chaos Void Origin Will.” Lin Yuan glanced at the Nine Profound Venerable.

To swear an oath meant invoking a binding restriction. The Chaos Void Origin Will permeated everywhere, and oaths made under its witness carried great karmic weight.

Breaking such an oath wouldn’t necessarily cause physical harm, but the karmic repercussions would make future progress impossible.

As a newly ascended Venerable, the Nine Profound Venerable still harbored aspirations to reach the Ultimate Great Saint Realm; he was unlikely to break his oath.

After all, if there were any alternatives, no Venerable would willingly bear the burden of karmic repercussions.

To cultivate to the Chaos Realm, one had to rise above countless billions upon billions of others—the consequences of severing their path were too grim to contemplate.

Soon after,

Lin Yuan and the Nine Profound Venerable completed their oaths.

For Lin Yuan, the oath was straightforward: even if he ultimately lost, it would simply mean sharing a replicable inheritance from the Mysterious Space with the Nine Profound Venerable. freeweɓnøvel.com

“Hand over all the Stone People to me.” Lin Yuan looked at the Nine Profound Venerable and said.

Given that the upcoming duel meant the Nine Profound Venerable would have to surrender the Stone People whether he won or lost, Lin Yuan decided to claim them in advance.

“Take them.” The Nine Profound Venerable threw the miniature world over without hesitation. He had no interest in the Stone People whatsoever; if it weren’t for the need to threaten Cang Yulong, he wouldn’t have even bothered imprisoning them.
