2797: Chapter 2817: The Last Thought 2797: Chapter 2817: The Last Thought The Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup was placed on the table in front of Lin Chen, with no prohibition surrounding it.
As long as Taoist Duan Tian wished to flee, he could manipulate it to run outside at any ti.
Even if it was only his remnant Primordial Spirit, with Lin Chen’s strength, he definitely wouldn’t be able to stop it.
Lin Chen had waited for quite so ti, yet the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup remained quietly standing there, without the slightest movent.
“Are you waiting for to run away on my own?”
Taoist Duan Tian sighed, speaking in a self-mocking tone, “If I still had the power to command the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup, do you think I would have stayed in that place for tens of thousands of years?”
Upon reflection, Lin Chen realized that it made sense.
If Taoist Duan Tian truly had that ability, he would have escaped long ago.
Why would he hide himself so mysteriously on that shelf and even proactively ask for Lin Chen’s help for fear of being discovered by the Saint of Thieves?
“In that case, you should trust even more.
Tell what’s really going on to see if I can handle it.”
Taoist Duan Tian seed to have made up his mind, speaking gravely, “I want to find my daughter.”
Lin Chen frowned, “Senior, please explain in detail.”
Taoist Duan Tian sighed, “Originally, due to grudges, I failed in a fight with soone.
My adversary wanted to annihilate completely.
I fled for many years, and finally, in the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain, I shook off my pursuer and used all my strength to establish the Land of Chaotic Streams, where I hid.”
“I thought I was safe, but I underestimated my opponent.
His Divine Power was like bone-eroding venom, which couldn’t be expelled.
Instead, it made my injuries grow heavier and heavier, much like plants sprinkled with pesticide, withering away day by day.
That’s why my body is still here, but it has beco useless.”
“Left with no choice, I had to abandon my body and hide in the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup, relying on the protection of the Innate Spiritual Treasure to shelter my Primordial Spirit.
Even so, my Primordial Spirit is gradually being eroded.
As of today, I have beco deeply connected with the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup.
Once I leave, the erosion will accelerate, which is why I dare not leave the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup.”
“My adversary is ruthless and brutal.
Since we have turned against each other and co to blows, he would certainly try to eliminate all traces of , including my daughter.
So, I suspect that my daughter might already be dead, but I still cling to a one in ten million hope that she is still alive.”
“I, Taoist Duan Tian, am reclusive and follow my own path.
It’s quite normal for to face such a predicant today.
After all, cultivators believe in ‘King’s Conquest and Defeat.’ It’s just that my daughter is being punished because of my connections which I find hard to accept.”
“I hope you will discover the truth of the past.
If she’s dead, then let it be, but if she’s alive and safe, I wish to see her one last ti.
If she is in danger, then try to save her.
This is my last wish.”
“Because my adversary is a Quasi-Saint, I worry that you will be too frightened to accept this task, which is why I have been reluctant to tell you.
But I assure you, I am not asking you to avenge .
I know it’s not sothing you can do.
Moreover, the cause of the battle back then was purely my own personal vendetta, and it was just that I lost.
It’s frustrating, but when outmatched, there is little else to say.”
A Quasi-Saint?
Indeed, this matter is not simple!
Lin Chen had already guessed that this matter must be related to his fall.
Although Taoist Duan Tian said it was to find his daughter, isn’t it ultimately due to that Quasi-Saint?
If his daughter is truly dead, that’s sowhat better.
Knowing we can’t confront them, we can just hide.
But what if his daughter isn’t dead?
Based on Taoist Duan Tian’s description, this adversary is rciless, and eliminating the roots is his normal operation.
If she’s not dead, either she has fled to so unknown Immortal Domain, making her impossible to find, which is the best outco.
Or, more likely and even worse, the adversary has captured his daughter, using her as a bargaining chip, waiting for Taoist Duan Tian to return.
If I go looking, won’t I be falling right into the enemy’s trap?
Confronting a Quasi-Saint head-on, isn’t that asking for death?
Lin Chen asked, “Who is this Quasi-Saint?”
“Thousand Demon Monarch Duan Tianchou.”
Taoist Duan Tian answered, “He’s nicknad ‘Thousand Demons’ because he is most adept at manipulating powerful Demonic Beasts.
He has many mighty Demonic Beasts under his command.
So used to call him Myriad Demon Monarch.
He said there aren’t ten thousand, that he doesn’t have that ability, but a thousand he does.
Hence, he beca known as the Thousand Demon Monarch.”
“Duan Tianchou possesses unique secret techniques to control Demonic Beasts.
He can also raise them, making them increasingly powerful.
He doesn’t trust humans, often saying that the human heart is unpredictable and the hardest to defend against.
Although Demonic Beasts can be cunning, they are much simpler in comparison to the human heart and can be more trustworthy.”
“Lin Chen, as long as you help confirm whether my daughter is dead or alive, if she’s alive, try to save her.
If I et her just one more ti, that would fulfill my last wish.
Once that is done, the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup will be entirely yours, along with all my accumulated wealth.
I will give it all to you…”
