Oath of Promise?
Carson Flores agreed without hesitation: "That’s necessary, how does it work?"
The middle-aged man took out a doll and placed it in front of Carson Flores.
"Drop your blood on this Promise Doll and swear not to leak the Reincarnation Sutra. If you leak it, you will be destroyed by the Heavenly Dao, body and soul vanished!"
Carson eyed the doll in front of him with curiosity and scrutinized it for a few monts: "Promise Doll?"
The middle-aged man nodded: "Yes, it’s a doll that embodies the way of promises. Swear to it, and if you violate the promise, it would trigger the retribution of the Heavenly Dao."
"So mystical?"
Carson sighed and then decisively refused: "I don’t want to learn it anymore!"
The middle-aged man was almost thrown off by Carson’s abrupt shift in tone. Weren’t you just clamoring to learn? Now that the opportunity is right in front of you, you refuse it?
Are you ssing with !
The middle-aged man frowned: "Brother Roth, what do you an by this?"
Carson spread his hands openly and replied frankly: "It would lead to total annihilation, that’s too extre. It’s just a cultivation technique, is it worth risking one’s life?"
The middle-aged man explained: "This is to ensure that the Reincarnation Sutra is not leaked. As long as you adhere to your promise and do not leak it, the oath will be aningless, and you won’t be punished."
Carson shook his head vigorously: "Although I can promise not to pass it around, I fear unexpected circumstances. I’m soone who talks in my sleep, and if I inadvertently spill the secret that way and the Heavenly Dao strikes with lightning, wouldn’t I die unjustly?"
The middle-aged man was rendered speechless. He couldn’t say Carson’s worries were unfounded, because talking in one’s sleep could indeed count as a leak, and thus a violation of the oath of promise.
This guy is really troubleso!
"The Reincarnation Sutra is a top-tier cultivation technique; comprehending the Great Dao can transcend life and death. Such an opportunity is rare, won’t you consider it?"
Carson firmly shook his head: "Life is precious, no oaths for , I fear dying unjustly! The techniques I’ve been cultivating may not match up to the Reincarnation Sutra, but they shouldn’t be too far behind. Trading for sothing is fine, but staking my life is not worth it!"
The middle-aged man was out of options.
Just as the middle-aged man was about to give up, Carson drank the tea in his cup and stood up.
"Thank you for the tea, since I can’t learn the Reincarnation Sutra, I won’t stay any longer, so as not to waste your ti. Rest assured, I will keep what happened here a secret for you."
Keep it secret?
Heh, only dead n can keep secrets!
If it were soone else, the middle-aged man would have imdiately ordered a hit. But thinking of Carson’s terrifying Exploding Talisman that could destroy everything within a hundred miles and even a Heavenly Immortal couldn’t withstand it, the middle-aged man held back his anger.
"Fine, if you don’t want to take the oath, you don’t have to. Once we’re familiar, you can join us, and it’s all the sa."
The middle-aged man directly took out a Jade Slip and tossed it to Carson: "This is the Lower Volu of the Reincarnation Sutra, you should first comprehend it, and if you comprehend it thoroughly, then we’ll give you the middle volu."
Carson received the Jade Slip, feeling a bit bewildered.
He just gave it to like that?
It can’t be fake, right?
"Brother, I haven’t taken the oath yet, and you just gave it to ? Aren’t you afraid I’ll run off with it?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "There’s a Formation sealing the area. Without activating the Formation, you can’t get out. Now that you have it, focus on comprehending it. You’ve co at a bad ti, today we’ve just finished a lesson, and the next one is a month away. But you have ti to familiarize yourself, and you can bring up any questions next ti and soone will address them for you."
So, he’s not worried about running away at all!
I hadn’t even considered running away!
Carson was quite surprised that he managed to get in so smoothly and even acquire the Reincarnation Sutra!
Carson imdiately promised: "I will definitely comprehend it well, and if I gain anything, I will definitely share it with everyone and not keep it to myself."
The middle-aged man nodded: "Let’s go, I’ll show you to your quarters. Oh, by the way, I’m Lucian Lopez."
"Thank you for the trouble, Brother Lopez, from now on, I’ll be counting on you for much guidance."
Carson sweetly thanked him and followed the middle-aged man out of the tea room to the back, where he witnessed an even more astonishing sight.
The entire underground was completely excavated, with rows upon rows of stone caves, densely packed, and looking quite spectacular.
Carson was shocked and asked: "Is there a cultivator in each cave? How many people are there, thousands at least?"
Lucian Lopez replied: "Everyone here comprehending the Reincarnation Sutra has a stone chamber, but currently, there are only about five hundred people here; others are busy elsewhere, but they will return regularly to study the Reincarnation Sutra."
Carson exclaid: "These people must be very powerful."
Lucian Lopez originally intended to absorb Carson and thus absorb his Sect. He answered boastfully: "Those able to enter here for cultivation are all above True Immortal, at least half of them are Golden Immortals. Moreover, twenty Heavenly Immortals reside here year-round. Your entry here as an Earth Immortal to study the Reincarnation Sutra is truly a stroke of fate!"
Carson was imnsely shocked, five hundred immortals, mostly True Immortals, a small portion Golden Immortals, and twenty Heavenly Immortals!
This is too overwhelming!
As expected, it’s indeed a formidable power in the Southern Alliance.
