Supreme Uprising

1140 Mutual Fate

Treasures, a cultivation technique, promises...

Various options were offered to Luo Yunyang, leaving him in a dilemma. Each of the offers made, from the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler’s offer to the Southwest Heavenly Ruler’s offer, were equally attractive in their own right.

It could even be said that many people would envy these options.

However, Luo Yunyang never made any promises to the five Heavenly Rulers who offered all these things to him. In fact, their offers were nearly similar and made little difference to him.

Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky was the last person to visit him!

Amongst the six Heavenly Rulers, Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky had the biggest conflict with Luo Yunyang. However, he too was now chummy with Luo Yunyang and he smiled a lot.

“Yunyang, I know there is some sort of misunderstanding between the two of us!” Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky said respectfully.

Luo Yunyang knew that all this was obviously a pretense and once the Sky Wielding Crystal got what he wanted, he would revert back to how he had always been.

He could even become much worse once he became a Taiyi Yuan Venerate.

Luo Yunyang smiled without saying anything. With this in his possession, he did not even need to care about the feelings of Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky.

Luo Yunyang’s indifferent attitude infuriated Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky. However, he remained calm on the surface, as he had the smallest chance amongst the six Heavenly Rulers to receive the Sky Wielding Crystal. He wouldn’t be receiving the Sky Wielding Crystal for sure if he did not make an extensive offer to Luo Yunyang.

“Your Majesty, I am sure you have seen enough of these treasures. Even if I were to offer you some more, it would just be the same offer my fellow brothers are making,” Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky said after a brief moment.

“You are right. The treasures and gifts offered to me by the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler and the others are more or less the same. Even if you were to offer me a much better gift than them, I wouldn’t choose you,” Luo Yunyang replied.

These words were direct and cutting, leaving no room for Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky’s ego. However, he did not react upon hearing this. Instead, he responded by laughing.

Since Luo Yunyang wasn’t hiding his intentions, Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky would be able to use that to his advantage to convince him. The only thing he feared was that Luo Yunyang would have something up his sleeve!

“I know. That is why I am prepared to give you a massive gift,” Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky replied.

He took out a white jade box. The jade was flawlessly translucent, so this was obviously a rare treasure at first glance. However, it still paled greatly in comparison to the rest of the treasures left behind by the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler and the others.

The small box was opened by Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky, revealing a small jade seal roughly about the size of a hand. While the craftsmanship of the jade seemed exquisite, it seemed to only be inferior to the jade box.

Luo Yunyang glanced at the gift with some distrust. “Honourable Human Ruler, I present to you a part of my spiritual consciousness,” Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky said. “I have already engraved the Lone Heart Seal in this will! With this Lone Heart Seal in Your Majesty’s hands, you will have full control over my fate.”

“Of course, if Your Majesty wishes to get rid of me as soon as I become a Taiyi Yuan Venerate, you will suffer a similar backlash. In that case, both of us will die,” Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky said.

“May I also add that, as long as Your Majesty is willing to combine this gift with your state of mind, I too will be transformed into ashes if Your Majesty passes away.”

Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky said nothing else, as his message had been conveyed.

He was a rather valiant being willing to risk his life for the Sky Wielding Crystal.

“I must say that it is very hard indeed for me to turn down your gift,” Luo Yunyang replied in all seriousness.

“Your Majesty, I do not have much of a choice either. After all, it is extremely important to me that I become a Taiyi Yuan Venerate. If I were to miss this chance, I do not know when the next chance would present itself,” Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky replied without making any effort to conceal his emotions.

“Therefore, it is really important that I grab this opportunity.”

Luo Yunyang reached out to take the jade before carefully inspecting it. “Alright, I will accept this jade. You can go to the Divine Ancestor to redeem the Sky Wielding Crystal. I will tell you about it.”

Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky had a look of rapt ecstasy on his face.

Luo Yunyang felt new-found respect for Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky. While he might have used underhanded means to handle his affair previously, he had definitely won this round of the competition.

The reason for his victory was that he was definitely tough on himself!

Becoming Taiyi a Yuan Venerate meant that one would become the second in command in the Human Race. The person who attained that status could even stand side by side with the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor.

Attaining this status and respect came at the price of one’s life, as well as their family’s.

With the jade in his hands, Luo Yunyang now had full control over Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky. However, he would surely be met with opposition if he were to go overboard.

After putting away the jade, Luo Yunyang’s eyes fell upon a jeweled halberd. In terms of quality, it was only slightly inferior to Luo Yunyang’s World-Shaking Sky Bell. It was definitely a rare treasure.

While Luo Yunyang may have accepted the jade of Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky, he had also accepted the halberd.

He was aware that his relation to Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky would have remained the same even if he had rejected the gift. Hence, it had made sense for him to accept it!

Luo Yunyang had a thought when he looked at the halberd. He thought of picking the halberd up and splitting the void.

A moment later, he saw Yuan Zi. Unlike before, Yuan Zi seemed to be in a sorry state. The initial confidence he used to have had been replaced with hints of anxiety.

Who could have put him in this sorry plight? Luo Yunyang opened the door. “Brother Yuan Zi, are you being chased by anyone?”

“He he... I ran into an old friend I had offended previously, so I need to lie low for a while!” Yuan Zi said in embarrassment.

“I might know who your enemy is.” Luo Yunyang nodded.

“Let’s not talk about him. Your Majesty must have a reason for coming to look for me.” Yuan Zi smiled.

“It is about the Sky Wielding Crystal,” Luo Yunyang said as he threw the halberd toward Yuan Zi. “The Sky Wielding Crystal now has a defect, as it was stabbed once by the Supreme Incarcerate Ruler.”

“According to the Divine Ancestor, we will have to isolate ourselves for ten million years in cultivation before being able to attain the status of a Taiyi Yuan Venerate. I sold it away, as I was unable to wait that long!”

Yuan Zi accepted the war halberd and examined it. “While the Sky Wielding Crystal may be good, to actually prevent the great war, it would be better if you relied on your strengths rather than on the position of a Taiyi Yuan Venerate. Otherwise, while things may look good on the surface right now, you will still very likely regret your actions in the future.”

Luo Yunyang looked at Yuan Zi. This chap knew a lot but he did not really say much about his reservations. Instead, he changed the topic. “Brother Yuan Zi, have you ever heard of transcendence?”

“Transcendence? You also know about it!” Yuan Zi smiled in surprise. It was obvious that transcendence was a word strongly ingrained in his memories that affected him greatly.

“Isn’t it just transcendence? Why would I not know about it?” Luo Yunyang continued to put up a calm front, despite being extremely concerned about these words.

Yuan Zi then regained his composure. “As the Human Ruler, you know it is inappropriate to talk about transcendence. The very word actually appeared in a great era a long time ago. Some people might even say that this great era was even more splendid than the great era I came from!”

Luo Yunyang listened quietly, as he knew absolutely nothing about this issue.

“However, the term transcendence lost popularity after a while. When our great era came, people started to bring up this term again because they began amassing huge information on the great eras and knew that our resistance each time was futile.”

“That great era has since been destroyed, and even the strongest martialists have also passed away. That is why people are once again bringing up this topic: to transcend out of the realm of this great era and enter a new realm where there is no imminent threat of a great war.”

Yuan Zi’s explanation seemed clearer than that of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor.

“Have people transcended in your era?” Luo Yunyang asked after analyzing Yuan Zi’s words for a moment.

“Yes! I used to have a friend who acquired... acquired an unknown treasure and borrowed its powers. He transcended out of the era, which was destined to be destroyed,” Yuan Zi said enviously.

“However, I do not know what that treasure is or where his current whereabouts are. The only thing I am certain of is that he transcended.”

Luo Yunyang nodded. There was a rising sense of urgency in his heart.

An urgency to see his mother and sister, as well as find their whereabouts.

“Thank you for the information,” Luo Yunyang said respectfully.

“You have asked so much on the topic of transcendence. Have you actually found a way to do it? If you have, I’d advise you as a friend to do it as soon as possible,” Yuan Zi said solemnly with his eyes fixed on Yunyang.

“Otherwise, you’re likely to turn into ashes if you stay here.”

“Do not place your confidence in the Human Race for garnering so much strength in this short time. In fact, their chances of preventing the great war are slim. If you have a way to transcend, just do it. Do not be foolish.”
