"The deal is simple," Ancestor Deception said coldly. "You are to destroy a certain base and kill everyone who has learned the Cheating Heaven Evil Technique. Make the Heaven-Defying Divine Skill vanish completely from the Mundane Realm. As long as you do that, I’ll give you a reward."
"You still haven’t answered my question. Why do you want to destroy the Cheating Heaven Evil Technique?" Zhang Bin was eager to agree, but he suppressed the temptation.
He felt as if he were making a deal with the devil.
"The Cheating Heaven Evil Technique must not be passed on. It’s too evil, and it would be my transgression. It’s as simple as that," a sly look appeared on Ancestor Deception’s face, his eyes staring straight at Zhang Bin, making his hair stand on end.
That’s definitely not the real reason. There must be another one. Zhang Bin shouted in his heart, but he had no way of knowing the answer.
Besides, he had already destroyed the Cheating Heaven Evil Technique and the base. No one in this world could learn the complete technique anymore.
So he said, "Alright, I agree. I have the ability to do it. But what reward will you give ?"
"How about I take you as my disciple? Your talent is excellent, no less than my own in the past," the statue of Ancestor Deception said.
Damn it... Zhang Bin was horrified and imdiately refused sternly. "Sorry, I already have a master."
"Then if you ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future, you can find . I will give you a huge reward that will let you rise to the heavens in a single step," Ancestor Deception said in a tempting tone.
An empty promise? Zhang Bin’s expression turned a bit grim. "That’s too far off. Besides, I don’t even know if I can ascend to the Immortal Realm. Why don’t you tell about the Immortal Realm instead? Let’s make that part of the deal."
"That cannot be spoken of," the statue said.
"Why?" Zhang Bin was astonished.
"Because it cannot be spoken of," the statue of Ancestor Deception said coldly. "Are you trying to be annoying?"
"Can you give another reward then?" Zhang Bin asked, so irritated he felt he could spit blood.
The statue of Ancestor Deception pondered for a mont before saying, "I once concocted a magical elixir back when I was in the Mundane Realm. This elixir is called the Nirvana Pill, and it can revive the dead. There’s one left, which I hid in a special place. I’m just not sure if it’s still there. I’ll tell you the location of that pill in exchange for your promise to completely destroy the Heaven-Defying Divine Skill. How about it?"
"Nirvana Pill? It can revive the dead?" A fervent light shot from Zhang Bin’s eyes.
He desperately needed such an elixir. In the future, he had to go to the Arican Underground Base to save Madisha, and to do that, he first had to concoct a Revival Pill. However, concocting a Revival Pill was incredibly difficult; the variety of ingredients required was vast. He would have to search the stars for a Green Planet to have any hope of finding them all, which seed far too unlikely.
However, he did not agree imdiately. "It’s highly likely the pill is gone. How about you give the Pill Recipe as well?"
"Kekeke..." the statue of Ancestor Deception cackled. "Kid, you’re quite cunning. As you wish..."
And so, he transmitted both the Pill Recipe and the location of the elixir into Zhang Bin’s mind.
A look of delighted surprise appeared on Zhang Bin’s face, for the elixir was hidden in a small Gourd. He had seen that very Gourd just a mont ago, sitting on a shelf, utterly unremarkable. As for the location where the pill had been hidden, it was now completely untraceable, as the landscape had undergone drastic changes.
This ti, I’ve really hit the jackpot, Zhang Bin shouted excitedly in his heart.
However, to his frustration, although the Pill Recipe for the Nirvana Pill was simpler than that of the Revival Pill, he had never seen most of the ingredients listed. Clearly, the flora of Earth from that era was vastly different from that of the present day.
"You have to tell the properties of these ingredients, otherwise this Pill Recipe is useless," Zhang Bin said.
Ancestor Deception didn’t waste words, telepathically sending the properties of all the herbs into Zhang Bin’s mind. Then, with a sinister smile, he said, "Kid, if the Heaven-Defying Divine Skill continues to be passed down, I’ll make you regret being born. You should know that even now, many titans in the Immortal Realm fear . They tremble at the re ntion of my na."
Damn, this evil bastard actually beca the Evil Ancestor of the Immortal Realm? So imposing and terrifying? Zhang Bin was astounded. Outwardly, of course, he thumped his chest and made a firm promise. Then he asked with anticipation, "Senior, could you teach a supre cultivation technique from the Immortal Realm?"
"Hehe... I do indeed possess many wondrous cultivation techniques from the Immortal Realm. If I taught you, you could quickly ascend," Ancestor Deception said proudly. "But, I cannot teach you. So, when you ascend to the Immortal Realm, just shout the na ’Evil Ancestor.’ I will appear before you and teach you the most wondrous techniques. That way, you’ll endure much less hardship. Let tell you, many cultivators are bullied and killed shortly after ascending to the Immortal Realm."
"Thank you, thank you. When I ascend to the Immortal Realm, I will definitely seek your help," Zhang Bin said with a grateful expression.
"Hehe... It doesn’t matter if you don’t. When you’re in a life-or-death crisis, shouting my na will also suffice," Ancestor Deception said with a wicked smile. "Goodbye for now. My consciousness is about to dissipate. I look forward to seeing a fellow countryman in the Immortal Realm again."
His words had barely faded when the statue collapsed, turning into countless grains of sand. Apparently, the statue could not withstand even a trace of his consciousness.
Damn it, just how powerful has this evil titan beco? Zhang Bin shouted in shock in his heart, his expression turning ugly. He had a chilling sense of foreboding; being sought out by such an evil titan was definitely not a good thing.
But what is his goal? To destroy the Cheating Heaven Evil Technique? What’s the point of that? Also, is he plotting sothing against ? Is that why he wants to call his na as soon as I reach the Immortal Realm? But I’m just a cultivator who has only reached the Golden Core Mid-Stage. What could I possibly have that’s worth his scheming? Could it be... he sensed the Dragon Qi I absorbed? Did he deduce that I could cultivate a Dragon Body in the future, giving boundless potential? So... he wants to devour ?
At this thought, a violent shiver ran through him, and he was truly creeped out. He resolved that after ascending to the Immortal Realm, he must change his appearance. He would never cry out the words ’Evil Ancestor,’ even in the most dangerous of tis. Doing so would be like delivering himself into a trap.
You had better not have designs on , you had better not be scheming against . Otherwise, I will make you pay a price you cannot possibly bear, Zhang Bin vowed fiercely in his heart.
He then quickly walked over to the shelf holding the Gourd, grabbed it, and inspected it closely, his face full of expectation.
