“So whether you believe me or not, it doesn’t matter.”

“The truth is right before your eyes.”

Lu Yuzhen calmly said, “You must have realized long ago that there’s something unusual about the position of your dantian…

Even if I didn’t tell you all this, when you form your Grotto Heaven in the future, you would eventually uncover the truth.”

“The Undying Spring…

is inside my body?”

Xie Xuanyi looked bewildered.

He reached out and gently pressed on his lower abdomen.

A burning, seething breath wove around the location of his dantian.

Lu Yuzhen smiled slightly, leaving things unsaid.

“Our meeting tonight is for this very reason.”

The white-robed Taoist said, “With the death of Mo Zhen, all his promises made in past lives have vanished like smoke…

Yet those cultivators who know about the existence of the ‘Undying Spring’ won’t just let it go.

Now, with the Dachu Dynasty in turmoil, the situation in Demon Country will only become more chaotic.

To fight over the legacy left by Mo Zhen, several great venerates have long been brawling with each other.”

“It can be said that over these years, both the high echelons of the Human Race and the whole of Demon Country have been searching for Mo Zhen’s ‘Undying Spring’.”

Lu Yuzhen said with a smile, “So I must remind you that this is far more dangerous than the exposure of Xie Xuanyi’s identity.

Revealing that Xie Xuanyi is still alive to the Great Chu Imperial City is merely a repeat of the ‘Battle of the North Sea’, but should the world learn that the ‘Undying Spring’ is within you, tsk tsk…”

If what Lu Yuzhen had said was true.

The Undying Spring would cause what kind of storm throughout the entire world, Xie Xuanyi could not even imagine.

Great opportunity, great fortune.

It meant great danger!

This principle…

Xie Xuanyi had always understood.

“What do you want?”

Xie Xuanyi got straight to the point.

He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world!

“Straightforward.”

Lu Yuzhen raised a thumb up, first in admiration, then spoke with regret: “I heard that many years ago, Mo Zhen was just a minor demon beast who, with the help of the ‘Undying Spring’, leaped through the dragon gate to become the exalted Demon Country Venerable, commanding countless heroes who bowed their heads to his orders; with just one hand, he could stir the winds and clouds of the world, yet there was one issue, he could not resolve until his death.”

“That’s the limited quantity of the Undying Spring.”

“After the death of Mo Zhen…

the remaining Undying Spring Water diminishes with every drop used.”

Lu Yuzhen sighed deeply, “Fortune allowed me to have a few drops; I wanted to try if there was a chance to multiply it, but unfortunately, after numerous attempts over the years, all have ended in failure.

This Undying Spring seems to require a ‘host’ with the right constitution to reproduce…

Among tens of millions of people, there might not even be one.”

Xie Xuanyi laughed coldly, “You wouldn’t suggest that I am that one in ten million.”

“Ha.”

Lu Yuzhen laughed awkwardly, then stopped talking, simply staring intently at Xie Xuanyi.

“So you want the Undying Spring Water?”

Xie Xuanyi frowned, “That thing…

it’s worshipped as a divine object in Demon Country, but I don’t care for it.

If you want it, I can give it to you, and let the results of the North Sea event ten years ago be settled.”

“No, no, no.”

Lu Yuzhen hurriedly shook his head, “As I’ve told you before…

I have some of the Undying Spring Water, although I have used a bit, there’s still some left.”

Xie Xuanyi fell silent.

“Xie Xuanyi, I want you ‘to live’.”

Lu Yuzhen said with a profound meaning, “Among all the heroes of the world, how many can live a second life?

This life, I hope you live well, cultivate to heights even higher than before, and truly stand at the pinnacle of the world.”

“Heh, why do those words sound so ironic?”

The whole world wanted him, Xie Xuanyi, dead.

But Lu Yuzhen wanted him to live.

Xie Xuanyi said, “Aren’t you afraid that after I recover my cultivation, the first thing I do will be to kill you?”

“Feel free to kill me.”

Lu Yuzhen laughed casually, “If I die at your hand, it would mean that’s my destiny, and I should die by your sword.”

“You…

really are crazy.”

Xie Xuanyi spoke coldly, “You should know my Divine Soul Realm is high, and it’s crystal clear whether someone is friend or foe…”

“From the first glance of you, I knew you’re no good.”

To be exact.

Even before meeting Lu Yuzhen and merely hearing about him from Deng Baiyi,

Xie Xuanyi had already subjectively determined…

This guy was no good.

Lu Yuzhen just smiled, not at all upset, nor did he have the intention of arguing.

“If there’s even one in ten million chance that we can become friends, Yuzhen would be content.”

He grinned, “And even if we can’t be friends, we don’t necessarily have to be mortal enemies…

Perhaps what we have to do is actually the same?”

Xie Xuanyi frowned slightly.

“The people who took action against you ten years ago are still well and alive.”

Lu Yuzhen spoke with a smile, “Yin Mountain, Imperial City Secretary, World Pavilion, Da Sui Sword Palace…

Even if you really want to kill me, you’d have to follow the order of cause and effect, wouldn’t you?”

Xie Xuanyi took a deep breath.

Settling scores!

Of course he would settle them!

He would clear each and every account from the past debts of gratitude and grudge, leaving none unpaid!

Only, from Lu Yuzhen’s mouth, he heard a term that should not have appeared.

“…Da Sui Sword Palace?”

Xie Xuanyi murmured.

“What, surprised?”

“Think carefully, when you fled north back then, who knew the route you chose and your movements?”

“If there wasn’t a traitor in the Da Sui Sword Palace, how could your whereabouts have been leaked…”

Lu Yuzhen smiled slightly and said, “The Yin Mountain White Ghost chased you for three thousand miles, where did his information come from?

Ten years have passed, you couldn’t possibly fail to understand such a simple matter, could you?”

Xie Xuanyi lapsed into a long silence.

When he recalled the four characters of Da Sui Sword Palace, what sprang to mind were…

Countless faces full of respect and admiration.

Numerous voices of reverent praise.

The echos of “elder brother” within his Heart Lake.

“No, I don’t believe it.”

Xie Xuanyi lifted his head with an icy expression and said, “Da Sui nurtured me and raised me, my master treated me with kindness heavier than mountains, I grew up there!

No one knows the Sword Palace better than I do!

They have no reason to betray me!”

“There are always many things in this world that don’t make sense.”

“Well, believe it or not.”

Lu Yuzhen laughed.

He said leisurely, “The Sword Palace has been sealed for ten years, counting the days, it’s about time for the seal to be lifted.

Once the affairs in Lichao City are wrapped up, you can return to the sect and investigate those ‘old acquaintances’ from back then.

With your abilities, finding out the truth from ten years ago shouldn’t be too difficult.”

Xie Xuanyi angrily looked up at the White Robed Taoist before him.

He extended his hand.

In the distance, amidst the rolling river tides, a zinging sound suddenly reverberated.

“Buzz!”

A darkly ink-colored Flying Sword appeared exceptionally dazzling against the pitch-black sky canvas!

“Chen Ke.”

Lu Yuzhen watched the dark Flying Sword that was miles away, his smile fading and a serious look appearing in his eyes.

He uttered with regret, “What a shame.”

The ink-colored Flying Sword swept forward only a hundred yards in the river tides before disappearing in an instant—

Xie Xuanyi, standing before Lichao City, had been communicating with his Lifebound Flying Sword through his mind all along.

He could feel it.

Chen Ke was right beneath the great river!

Just a moment ago, the connection between the Lifebound Flying Sword and himself was established, resulting in that scene of the Flying Sword breaking through the river!

But in the next instant, Chen Ke’s dark silhouette was wiped away.

Countless waves surged like lions, engulfing it.

Xie Xuanyi’s complexion was as dark as water, staring intently at the distant river tides.

The aura of Chen Ke had disappeared without a trace…

but the trembling sound inside his Heart Lake was still echoing.

Xie Xuanyi was certain.

His Lifebound Flying Sword was within this great river!

It was just suppressed by something!

“Unfortunately…

it seems today is not the day to witness Brother Xuanyi’s Lifebound Flying Sword.”

Lu Yuzhen turned around, showing no defense, and sat cross-legged on the undulating river’s surface, admiring the tides in the distance.

He praised with a smile, “I heard that a thousand years ago, the ‘Bai Ze’ sage had a magnificent Supreme Taoist Treasure which could erase causes and effects from the world.

Even if it was damaged, it could erase or isolate a cultivator’s connection with their lifebound items…

It’s just a pity that after Bai Ze’s passing, his Grotto Heaven hidden in the dust of the ages is unknown to all, and no one knows where that treasure ended up.”

Xie Xuanyi was momentarily stunned.

Lu Yuzhen suddenly brought up an irrelevant matter, “In the past, the Mo Zhen Venerable gained countless fortunes through the ‘Undying Spring’.

It is said that his treasures were as numerous as mountains.

Sadly, most of these treasures were marked with his Divine Soul and inscribed with Taoist runes, even for those few Venerates to refine them, they would need to spend a lot of effort.”

He paused halfway through his speech.

He chuckled with profound meaning, “But if one could get their hands on the treasure left by Bai Ze, erasing such inscriptions would no longer be troublesome, right?”

He revealed a significant secret.

Xie Xuanyi suddenly realized why Demon Country was so painstakingly intent on bringing Bai Ze’s finger bone into the city!

“Brother Xuanyi, since you have come again, why not let go of your pride and truly enjoy this life.”

Lu Yuzhen spoke with a gentle voice, “The situation in Lichao City is truly interesting.”
