Chapter 1142: TalentTranslator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Five hundred years?”
The Deaf Taoist was hesitating. For him, one hundred years or five hundred years was not that different. He was an orc from the Region of Doom, and he had too long of a life expectancy.
The Deaf Taoist was deliberating. Seeing that the Immortal"s body was coming again, the Deaf Taoist said impatiently, “Make your puppet stop.”
Lu Li stopped the Immortal"s body and the remaining Stone Golems. Upon closer consideration, the Deaf Taoist said, “You may take a blood oath and you must agree to one more term.”
Lu Li was intrigued but he was still adamant, “Say your request first. If it is something I cannot do, then forget about it.”
The Deaf Taoist answered, “If you cannot go to the Divinity, you must set me free in one hundred years. If you can, you must send me back to the Region of Doom.”
“Back to the Region of Doom?”
Lu Li should be able to ascend to the Divinity. On the off chance that he could not integrate the Map of Fundamental Principles, he could still study the Slayer"s move. Lu Li asked, “Is it difficult to go to the Region of Doom from the Divinity? I will not go if it"s too hard.”
“Not really.”
The Deaf Taoist explained, “Many warriors in the Divinity go to the Region of Doom to train themselves. I believe you can teleport to the Region of Doom from many major cities. One hundred thousand Divine Sources can get you there.”
“One hundred thousand Divine Sources?”
Lu Li was relieved. Last time, when the Yan Family asked the warriors of the nine universes to come, the Yan Family spent many Divine Yuan. It should not be difficult for Lu Li to obtain some Divine Yuan when he went to the Divinity.
Lu Li nodded. “No problem. When I go to the Divinity, I will send you back to the Region of Doom. Of course, you will have to serve me for five hundred years. That is the prerequisite.”
“Deal!”
The Deaf Taoist answered readily. Then, he made Lu Li take the oath and Lu Li did so, following the Deaf Taoist"s instructions.
“Buzzing~”
A glow came out from between the eyebrows of the Deaf Taoist. He said, “Do not fight back. I am building the master-servant bond.”
On this front, Lu Li was experienced. He wasn"t even nervous when he was making the Dragon Demon his spiritual beast. The dark glow between the eyebrows of the Deaf Taoist was growing stronger. Soon, a ray of black light merged into between Lu Li"s eyebrows.
“Alright now!”
Lu Li was delighted. He had obtained a strong help. The Deaf Taoist, when recovered, should be considered strong in the Divinity.
“Wait—”
When the dark glow entered Lu Li"s soul, it began to spread out. Clearly, the dark energy was trying to seize Lu Li"s soul. Taking the chance of bonding, the Deaf Taoist wanted to control Lu Li"s soul.
“Buzzing~”
The silver dragon mark shone brightly and moved about in Lu Li"s soul. Much of that dark energy was swallowed by the silver dragon. A miserable cry of fear was heard, “This is an Enchanted Soul? Son, I am sorry. Make the Enchanted Soul stop, or my soul will be gone, and the bond cannot be built. Son… no, my lord, I am really sorry, and I will not do this again. Please show mercy.”
“Hmm!”
Lu Li snorted and was filled with rage. This Deaf Taoist was so sly and sinister. If it were not for the fact that Lu Li had the silver dragon to protect him, his soul would have been dispersed.
“My lord, I am sorry, really. Let the silver dragon stop or else I cannot serve you, my lord.”
“My lord, I know much about the Divinity and the Region of Doom. I know that some treasures are hiding in a place in the Region of Doom and those were left behind by a supreme warrior in the Divinity. Lord, spare my life and I will tell you everything!”
“My lord, I am the only one that knows about that place. When I die, n.o.body can find the treasures left behind by a supreme warrior from the Divinity…”
Lu Li heard the Deaf Taoist"s constant cry for mercy and the latter even mentioned the hidden treasures of a supreme warrior in the Divinity. Lu Li was interested. So, he instructed the silver dragon to stop.
In the beginning, Lu Li was not sure if his instructions would be obeyed because the silver dragon was basically uncontrollable. But the silver dragon did stop this time. The dark energy in Lu Li"s soul withdrew quickly. At this moment, Lu Li felt a spiritual connection to the Deaf Taoist. There was a mark between Lu Li"s eyebrows, and it was the shape of the Deaf Taoist as an orc.
The Deaf Taoist opened his eyes, feebly. The glow in his eyes had died out and his spirit was low. His soul must have been hurt greatly.
“Buzzing~”
The Deaf Taoist shrank and took the shape of a Taoist. Putting on a frock, he got down on his knees and said, “My lord.”
“Whoos.h.!.+”
Lu Li swung his Relic weapon and released Xuan Energy, smas.h.i.+ng the Deaf Taoist away. The Deaf Taoist dared not to fend himself or to run away. At first, only his chest was covered in blood and now, it was his entire body.
“My lord, I am sorry!”
The Deaf Taoist came back, with his back hunched. He knelt in front of Lu Li again, filled with frustration and guilt.
“Hmm!”
Lu Li snorted but said nothing. Now, the Deaf Taoist had become his spiritual beast. What could Lu Li do other than punis.h.i.+ng the Deaf Taoist? After all, Lu Li could not kill the Deaf Taoist since he was a valiant fighter.
“Time to heal!”
Lu Li threw the Deaf Taoist a glance and took a healing pellet himself. Just now, Lu Li was hurt as well. Though it was only a minor wound, he must tend to it.
“Whoosh~”
From the distance came a man. Lu Li saw it was Tang. The latter must have come to check since things had quieted down.
“Eh?”
Tang could see that the Deaf Taoist was on his knees in front of Lu Li. Tang was stunned. Just now, the Deaf Taoist was so violent, and Tang thought Lu Li was going to be defeated. However, it had come to an end so quickly. ‘Why was the Deaf Taoist kneeling to Lu Li?"
“Had he… surrendered?”
The Deaf Taoist threw a look at Tang. That chilly look made Tang s.h.i.+ver. The Deaf Taoist thought about it and said, “My lord, should I go and kill them? After all, if my ident.i.ty is known, that might lead to trouble.”
“What?”
Tang was shocked again as he heard the Deaf Taoist referring to Lu Li as his lord. How awesome was Lu Li? He had such abilities when he was so young, and he could make the Deaf Taoist surrender.
Tang was worried as well since the Deaf Taoist said he wanted to silence him. Tang was much slower than the Deaf Taoist, so he couldn"t even escape.
“It"s okay…”
Lu Li waved his hand and said, “I can protect you even if all the warriors from the Nine universes came to fight you. What are you afraid of?”
Lu Li"s words were arrogant, but he was confident. Tang admired Lu Li. He flew over and knelt to Lu Li. “Lord Lu, I am Tang Mingzhe. Lord Lu, I can never repay your kindness and I am willing to serve you, follow you everywhere and make my humble effort.”
Lu Li helped Tang kill the Deranged Taoist Couple and saved his life. Tang must be a man who valued friends.h.i.+p, which could be indicated by the fact that he didn"t run away.
Lu Li liked Tang"s personality. Lu Li nodded. “Tang, get up. If you want to go with me, then do. When I conquer the Nine universes, you can take a share.”
“What?”
Tang was overjoyed. He only intended to pay back Lu Li"s kindness and did not expect that Lu Li was so generous.
As for… if Lu Li could really conquer the Nine universes, Tang was confident. Lu Li could bring the Deaf Taoist—such a powerful being—into control. What else couldn"t this talent from the Heaven Reverse Universe do?
