Chapter 1405 - Chapter 1405 Chapter 689 Guidance (Two in One)_2

Chapter 1405: Chapter 689: Guidance (Two in One)_2 Chapter 1405: Chapter 689: Guidance (Two in One)_2 Cao Ziqi’s face flushed red, almost like the expression of someone wrongly accused, “The Ghost King Compass is an Ancestor’s personal magic instrument, not only capable of determining directions, finding dragons, sealing beasts, conserving corpses, but it also holds the power of a life-binding recognition. No one other than the direct bloodline of the Cao Family can use it, and even if it were lost, it could still be retrieved. Unless Longyuan forever drifts in the void, as soon as the realm gate opens, the Ancestor will know the location of the Compass!”

“Oh?”

Tang Luo stroked his chin, “So you’re saying that even if I got this Compass, I wouldn’t be able to use it?”

“That’s right, that’s right!”

“Then one less item is okay, isn’t there still the Crimson Divine Armor?”

“No, no, no, that’s also not possible!”

Cao Ziqi shook his head repeatedly, “The Crimson Divine Armor is a Heritage Divine Artifact that travels the world. It too has a holy seal for positioning, just like the Compass. As soon as it leaves the Minor Spiritual Realm, it can be sensed.”

“Hmm? So you’re saying that even if I got the Ghost King Compass and the Crimson Divine Armor, I wouldn’t be able to use them?”

The looming murderous intent significantly decreased, but before Cao Ziqi could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Tang Luo become annoyed and angry, “This I can’t use, that I also can’t use! Might as well throw both the Ghost King Compass and the Crimson Divine Armor away for all they’re worth, getting the Human King inheritance and divine artifacts wouldn’t be a loss!”

The murderous intent surged once again, this tightening and relaxing rhythm scared Cao Ziqi into trembling.

But at this life-or-death moment, this son of the Cao Family’s senses were especially clear, choosing not to resist irrationally, but rather shouted, “Please hear me out, young prodigy, this Yun Zu’s Human King inheritance is of no use to you, don’t be deceived by that enchantress!”

His critical outburst was very decisive, causing Tang Luo, who had already half stood up, to freeze with furrowed brows, even the aura of killing intent faded by a large margin.

“What do you mean by that?”

He had survived!

Having narrowly escaped yet another peril with his wit, Cao Ziqi let out a sigh of relief, carefully organizing his words before speaking slowly, “Most of the Human Kings are irreplicable unless one cultivates the same inheritance. For instance, the Tang Clan’s Heavenly Pathway Technique is a metal-based method, and as a prodigy yourself, pursuing a path of broad and vigorous physical cultivation, this Yun Family’s Human King inheritance is virtually useless for you.”

“How can that be possible?”

Tang Luo frowned, his expression reading as ‘Don’t try to fool me, I’m not well-read.’

“Absolutely true.”

Seeing Tang Luo’s expression, Cao Ziqi knew he was on the right track. He scoured his memory for information about Yun Zu but regretted that his mediocre talents meant he had little interest in these ancient records.

He could only repeat the content of his clan elders’ casual conversations during moon-viewing, “Yun Zu is an exceptional figure who awakened a Heaven-level Bloodline– the Mirage. He abandoned the cultivation of Five Elements Spiritual Power to tread a different path and cultivate cloud techniques, all because of the influence of this bloodline. This made Yun Zu’s Human King inheritance incredibly discerning, including several of his ultimate techniques.”

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s the ‘Secret Techniques of the Cloud Platform,’ ‘Mysterious Cloud Nine Array Chart,’ ‘Three Immortals Xuan Yun Body,’ ‘Wind and Cloud Transformation Technique,’ or even the ultimate skill ‘Three Immortals Technique,’ all are predicated on the need to cultivate Yun Family’s fundamental methods, refining Mysterious Cloud Spiritual Power to temper one’s body beforehand. And with the exquisite metal-based Spiritual Power you have, along with somehow completing the Spirit Qualification of your arms, it is now absolutely impossible for you to switch to cultivating Yun Zu’s secret techniques!”

“How is that so, with such a grand Human King inheritance!”

Tang Luo argued, “Why can’t I just take it back for others in my family to cultivate?”

“Difficult, difficult, difficult.”

Cao Ziqi carefully negated, “To be honest, Yun Zu’s inheritance is profoundly intricate, largely because the system of Spiritual Power research was not yet perfected in ancient times, so many key steps are vague. This has made the difficulty of cultivating these methods extremely great. Even if the inheritance is obtained and significant effort is put into research, it could take at least a hundred or two hundred years to see any results.”

As Cao Ziqi spoke, he observed Tang Luo’s expression, aware that his words had dampened much of Tang Luo’s desire for Yun Zu’s inheritance; he added fuel to the fire, “With the talent of a prodigy like yourself, in at most a hundred years, you could attain the Human King state with your own lineage’s methods. Then Longxi would have its own path to proving the Dao, wouldn’t it be a hundred times, a thousand times better than picking up scraps of others’ wisdom?”

“Hmm? That does make sense!”

Tang Luo, stroking his chin, eyes suddenly brightened, and laughed, “Indeed, not realizing one’s own riches. That’s right, that’s right, I don’t need any King Realm inheritance at all. Young Master Cao’s words have indeed enlightened me, it seems that this Yun Zu inheritance is truly of no use to me!”

He had survived again!

The murderous intent grew even weaker, and Cao Ziqi felt tears welling up in his eyes in his emotion.

Born into his position, he had never faced much threat to his life.

The elders in his family often said that an animal raised in a pen loses its ability to respond to danger.

But now, he simply wanted to say that those elders were mistaken, noting that in the past, there was never an opportunity to demonstrate his capabilities.

Relying on martial power to confront, in the end, one will inevitably be harmed by martial power.

Only wisdom is the truly ingenious response.

Who among the younger generation of the entire Xihesa Holy Land could claim to have survived an encounter with the murderous Tang Luo as he had?

Who?

Who else!?

Aware that he had escaped most of the danger, Cao Ziqi didn’t relax, understanding that what still troubled Tang Luo was nothing but the Divine Artifacts promised by the Yun Clan.

After all, he knew Longxi was impoverished. Further, most clans were descendants of pioneers–such forces couldn’t even discern the quality of Divine Artifacts.

Even an Earth-level Dao Soldier would cause a bloody struggle, so convincing Tang Luo to give up such readily available treasures was clearly unrealistic; thus, the only option was to help him get them.

Only in courting death do you find true bravery!

Cao Ziqi silently recited the true name of his Divine Armor, and under Tang Luo’s piercing gaze, he removed the armor.

“Ziqi knows that the prodigy desires the Yun Family’s Divine Artifacts and also wishes to see the Human King’s heritage. What do you think about this?”

Handing over the Ghost King Compass and Crimson Divine Armor to Tang Luo, Cao Ziqi spread his hands with sincerity, “Take the Divine Armor and the Compass, and say that you have slain Ziqi. This way, you can obtain the Divine Artifact inheritance promised by the Yun Clan without making an enemy of the Beast Taming Sect, isn’t that perfect?”

“Is that really possible?”

Tang Luo’s eyes widened as if he saw a new world, and he stammered.

Naive bumpkin!

Cao Ziqi’s mouth twitched as he persuaded with an even more sincere tone, “Ziqi feels a kindred spirit with the prodigy and truly does not wish to become enemies over minor benefits. This course of action will satisfy all sides, the prodigy mustn’t decline.”

“Decline? No, no, no.”

Tang Luo waved his hand, speaking casually, “Although your suggestion is good, my loss is still substantial!”

“What loss is the prodigy referring to…?”

“Sigh!”

Tang Luo, with a touch of sentimentality, caressed the Crimson Divine Armor and Ghost King Compass in his hand, implying, “Now I’m missing two Divine Artifacts.”

Insatiable scoundrel!

In his life, Cao Ziqi had never encountered such an unseemly prodigy.

No, not unseemly.

Shameless.

These two Divine Artifacts would’ve been hot potatoes, yet he depicted them as losses.

What, was Cao Ziqi expected to compensate with two more?

Did he truly think Divine Artifacts were as common as cabbages?

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the anger brimming in his chest from the humiliation, Cao Ziqi forced a pained smile and complied, “Indeed, the prodigy has suffered losses, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be compensated.”

“Hmm?”

Tang Luo slightly raised an eyebrow, clearly very interested and enthusiastic, yet pretended to be indifferent, “Let’s hear it.”

“The wool comes from the sheep’s back!”

The very thought that the Yun Family had almost bribed Tang Luo to kill him made Cao Ziqi seethe with anger.

At this moment, he couldn’t care less about reputation, he only wanted to employ any means necessary to see the Yun Family, those bastards, dead before him!

“Do you know, prodigy, that the Yun Family possesses nine Heritage Divine Artifacts, and five of them have been revealed in Longyuan. Should the prodigy not have intervened today, the Longyuan Yun Clan would inevitably be exterminated. Yet facing such an immense favor, they still conceal and hoard, willing to hand over only three. Isn’t this an insult to the prodigy!?”

While spreading these vicious rumors, Cao Ziqi also carefully watched Tang Luo’s expression, ready to cease his slander if the slightest dissatisfaction appeared. However, despite reaching this point, the other’s demeanor remained indifferent, which precisely confirmed his suspicions.

Interest sways hearts; whatever help to the Yun Clan was merely a pretext. Tang Luo simply wanted to monopolize the profits within Longyuan!
