284: The 100,000-year agreement
Time passed in a daze. No one knew how long it had been.
In a trance, Su Quan felt as if he had returned to his mother's embrace in his childhood. Instinctively, he curled his body into a ball, surrounded by a warm feeling, and slept for a very, very long time.
"Wake up, wake up!" A highly penetrating voice resonated deep within his Divine Soul.
The vast sky seemed to be torn open, and a ray of light shone on Su Quan's face.
"I..." Su Quan slowly opened his eyes.
He sat up, still in a daze, only feeling that his physical condition was better than ever.
The pain of his Divine Soul being torn by his villainous fate seemed to have eased somewhat.
"Little one, you are awake?" A majestic voice sounded not far away.
Su Quan looked over subconsciously and saw the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Holy King, dressed in white, sitting under the shade of a tree, watching him quietly.
A panel appeared.
Daughter of Destiny: Ning Shengluan
fate: Heavenly Dao
Rank: Undetectable
regret value: 0
Male Lead: Undetectable
At the same time, the System issued a prompt and a special task.
Warm Prompt: The protagonist's current fate is that of a vicious villain. According to the normal plot development, he will die miserably at the hands of Ning Shengluan, so the Host must strive to defy the Heavens and change his fate.
Special Task: Unable to load!
This was the first time Su Quan had encountered such a thing since he acquired the System.
Ning Shengluan's fate Rank was actually "Heavenly Dao".
A Rank that had never appeared before.
Perhaps because her grade was too high, the Rank, male lead, and special task all appeared as undetectable!
Clearly, this was an existence even more monstrous than his cheap sister, Su Qianqian.
Thinking of this, Su Quan seemed to recall what happened before he fainted, and a look of horror appeared on his face: "You, you are the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Holy King!"
After saying this, he turned and fled.
Ning Shengluan waved her hand, and a seven-colored divine light shot out, enveloping Su Quan.
He felt himself instantly lose the ability to move, his vision blurred, and then he was directly moved in front of the woman.
"Little Devil Head, do you think you can escape from my palm?" Ning Shengluan laughed dumbly, her indifferent eyes showing some interest.
"I am just a tiny Nine Heavens Profound Immortal, how can I be the Holy King's opponent!" Su Quan seemed to resign himself, resolutely closed his eyes, raised his head, and pretended to be unyielding: "Kill me then!"
The smile on Ning Shengluan's lips deepened. She had no intention of teasing him further and said indifferently: "I will not kill you!"
"Really?" Su Quan was full of doubt: "Your title is the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Holy King. Who in our Devil Sect doesn't know your fierce reputation!"
"Oh? I have a fierce reputation? Tell me about it!" Ning Shengluan asked with some curiosity.
"It is said that you have four heads, sixteen arms, invincible Divine Might, and numerous Magic Treasures. Any Devil Cultivator who meets you will not survive, and will be skinned and cramped, suffering the torments of purgatory!"
Speaking of this, the expression on Su Quan's face grew more fearful: "You wouldn't be planning to lock me in the Demon Sealing Prison and torture me slowly, would you?"
Ning Shengluan did not answer his question directly, but chuckled: "Then do you still think I am very fierce now?"
"Um... not fierce!" Su Quan thought for a moment and organized his words: "Not only not fierce, but it feels quite peaceful?"
"And it's nothing like the rumors. Holy King, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in the Immortal Domain!"
These words were basically from the bottom of his heart.
Although the woman had supreme strength and could defy the Heavens to fight an Immortal Emperor with the body of an Immortal King, she was now willing to sit down and chat with a Devil Cultivator like him, who was only at the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal realm. This was enough to show that the other party's state of mind was very peaceful.
She was not someone who loved killing or martial arts!
As for her appearance and temperament, that went without saying.
The woman had a graceful figure, beautiful features, and her brows seemed to contain the spirit and beauty of Heaven and Earth.
With every smile and frown, she could make the sun, moon, and stars of Heaven and Earth pale in comparison.
Her majesty and dignity did not lack holiness.
Su Quan carefully recalled the women he had been intimate with; perhaps even Su Qianqian, whose beauty could be called perfect, was a notch below the Holy King before him.
"You little Devil Head, your words are quite sweet!" Ning Shengluan laughed out loud.
Soon, her smile faded, and her tone became serious: "My divine eyes can see through illusions. I don't see very deep resentment of all living things on you, which shows that you are different from other Devil Cultivators, at least you won't kill innocent people indiscriminately!"
"Therefore, don't worry. I will neither kill you nor lock you in the Demon Sealing Prison!"
"Then is the Holy King planning to let me go?" Su Quan was both surprised and happy.
"That is naturally impossible!" Ning Shengluan's golden divine eyes narrowed slightly, saying: "Tracing the source, you are the disciple of the Hehuan Devil Sect. The sins committed by the Devil Sect in the Immortal Domain have a part of Karma connected to your existence!"
"Therefore, you must be a servant in my Daoist dojo for one hundred thousand years to wash away the sins on your body."
"After one hundred thousand years, I will set you free!"
Hearing this, Su Quan showed a troubled expression and said in a negotiating tone: "Holy King, one hundred thousand years... isn't that too long?"
For many Immortals, one hundred thousand years is just a blink of an eye.
But for Su Quan, one must know that his total experience across several lifetimes might not even add up to one hundred thousand years.
"On this matter, there is no room for negotiation!" Ning Shengluan coldly refused, then threw him a Jade Slip: "Inside is a Cultivation Technique called the Nether Poison Sacred Body. You can practice it and try to control the toxins accumulated in your body!"
"If after one hundred thousand years, you still cannot perfectly control the toxins in your body, I will add another one hundred thousand years, until you succeed!"
After saying this, Ning Shengluan smiled and slowly disappeared before him.
Su Quan pursed his lips. He probed his Divine Sense into the Jade Slip, and a large amount of profound and complex information flooded into his mind, eventually converging into a terrifying essence of Divine Ability.
The Nether Poison Sacred Body was one of the top hundred Sacred Bodies in the endless years of the Immortal Domain.
Because the Dao of poison was relatively niche, few Immortals in history possessed this Physique, leading to its Perfection battle power being a mystery.
But from the few words passed down, one could get a glimpse of it.
After the Sacred Body reached Perfection, unleashing magic power would carry a violent "Nether Poison" attribute. Once an ordinary Immortal Emperor was hit, they would only face death. Even an Emperor Venerable would find it very troublesome if contaminated by "Nether Poison".
"The biggest difficulty in cultivating the Nether Poison Sacred Body is to use endless toxins to temper the Immortal body, thereby casting a poison body."
"This point fits my current situation perfectly..."
Su Quan looked at a bronze mirror not far away.
The young man's tragic injuries in the bronze mirror had been repaired under the effect of the lotus platform, but the large amount of toxins in the Thousand Poison Cave had long since permeated his Immortal body. It could be said that every drop of blood, every cell, and every bone marrow could extract billions of different toxins.
Apart from the severe pain, the most direct effect was that his skin had evolved into a creepy seven-colored hue, including his facial features.
His eyes had become a pure deep green.
This added a bit of bewitching and eerie quality to his originally handsome and cold face.
"My appearance and temperament have changed greatly. No wonder the people of the Heavenly Court couldn't recognize my past life identity!"
Su Quan felt relieved. He gripped the jade tablet tightly and made up his mind to stay here.
Never mind that this was forced by the Holy King; even if Ning Shengluan wanted to chase him away, he would shamelessly stay.
After all, a Heavenly Dao level fate.
He was really looking forward to how much terrifying regret value it could provide him.
