586: Chapter 586 King Qingxu will arrive on the battlefield in three hours.

Lv Yang placed a finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture. "Golden Finger, huh? I understand."

Zhou Yan's Dao Heart stirred again. Fortunately, he was already familiar with Lv Yang and did not make the same reaction he had during their first meeting.

Lv Yang shrugged and said, "Many of you Transmigration individuals are like this, believing that having a Golden Finger means you can defy the heavens and change your fate, but you fail to realize that everything comes with a price."

"I admit that my previous calculations were indeed inaccurate, but in my current state, I am still quite confident in my divinations."

"The results of my divination tell me that your Golden Finger cannot help me; you cannot afford the price of resurrecting me."

After speaking, Lv Yang pointed to his own Soul. "The me you see now is incomplete, which is why I am in this state."

"My other half was previously handed over to Nian and sent by It to the Wheel of Reincarnation Path. The reason I can communicate with you is merely because this part remains here, serving as a communication channel."

"Ordinary resurrection methods are useless on me, and that ability of yours to bring people back from the dead also requires a price. I am truly beyond saving now."

Zhou Yan still refused to give up. "But didn't you ask me to save you before? Now that I can save you, you won't even try?"

Lv Yang's current state clearly proved he was hiding some great secret, but Zhou Yan had even managed to resurrect Zheng Dafu; there was no reason he couldn't resurrect an Immortal Reincarnation.

At worst, he would just resurrect a low-spec version. Since Lv Yang had been a Mortal for half his life, he probably wouldn't mind if he was resurrected with fewer abilities.

Lv Yang did not answer but instead proved himself with an action.

He reached out with his translucent hand, and a book drifted out from Zhou Yan's body.

Zhou Yan's pupils constricted at the sight. He hurriedly opened his inventory and found that the pinned ancient book had disappeared.

Lv Yang looked at the book and wanted to touch it, but his body passed right through it. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly.

"This world is far worse than you think."

"I do indeed want you to save me, but not in the way you think."

"Dying this time to save this city was my own intention; I do not blame you."

"And what I meant by you owing me a life and needing you to save me refers to your promise to help me retrieve the broken sword that Long Tianxing snatched away."

"That sword was a burden to me when I was alive, but for the current me, it is indispensable."

"Help me get the broken sword back, and I will wait for you at the Wheel of Reincarnation Path. When that happens, our agreement will be concluded."

"You had better not come too early, or your cultivation will be too weak and you will encounter trouble. Of course, do not come too late either, or I will truly curse you."

After this quip, Lv Yang used his hand as a pen to write something on the cover of the book, then finally pushed it back into Zhou Yan's arms.

"I must make my exit now; perhaps this will help you."

After writing, Lv Yang's body began to dissipate.

"If it hadn't reached this moment, I still wouldn't have remembered. If I had remembered earlier, I wouldn't have gotten involved so soon."

"In the end, the new generation surpasses the old; the later generations are playing wilder and wilder games."

Seeing that Lv Yang was about to disappear, Zhou Yan hurriedly reached out, wanting Lv Yang to explain himself clearly. "Wait, you're about to die, you're already dying, stop being a riddle-monger!"

Seeing Zhou Yan's anxious appearance, Lv Yang revealed a mischievous smile. "The trouble you will encounter is far greater than mine. As for what trouble, to know the outcome, please listen to the next installment."

Watching Lv Yang completely dissipate, Zhou Yan wore an expression as if he had eaten something foul.

Originally, Zhou Yan had been quite impressed by his self-sacrifice, but he hadn't expected him to leave such a big mess for him before leaving.

Zhou Yan had known this guy wasn't simple since Lv Yang could prophesy the Dao Ancestor of Space when he was still a Mortal, and now he could even take things out of his inventory.

The last time someone could do this was Ma Hao's Great Unity Wind.

But that was only achieved with the help of Feng Xu's power. Surely Lv Yang, who was still a Mortal before death, couldn't have instantly gained methods at Feng Xu's level upon dying, right?

Looking at the book in his hand and his inventory, which anyone could reach in and rummage through, he fell into deep speechlessness.

It seemed that when he returned to the Cang Tian Library, there would be a few more questions to ask. Before that, however, Zhou Yan had to vent his anger.

After putting the book back into his inventory and pinning it again, Zhou Yan sat cross-legged and directly connected to Ke Yan in the Southern Desert.

The Qingxu King would descend in three hours; this news was spreading like wildfire across the major battlefields of the Southern Desert.

Whether his arrival would be salvation or destruction, I had no way of knowing, and opinions varied. I just wanted to eat a pre-prepared meal first.

Fan Wujiu sat on the roof of a building, eating a pre-prepared meal while contemplating life.

It was his first time in the Southern Desert, and also the first time he learned that the Southern Desert had high-rise buildings too. But his attention was currently focused on the battle before him.

Not long ago, a barrier had risen in the sky, preventing everyone from escaping, followed by a massive horde of monsters and Cultivators. Each of them seemed to have gone mad, launching attacks on the major cities.

Fortunately, their side had Soul Transformation Cultivators guarding them, along with quite a few elites, so they quickly suppressed the unrest. Although some remnants remained, determined individuals scattered across various places soon gathered, and in no time, they had turned this large city into an impregnable fortress.

Fan Wujiu had originally been sent to find Long Tianxing, but had accidentally been dragged into this crisis. Fortunately, he had managed to see Long Tianxing, which counted as fulfilling his purpose.

But soon, an unexpected event occurred: Zhou Yan, who should have been in the Eastern Region, appeared in the Southern Desert. Thinking of those guys who looked exactly the same, their first thought was clones. But not knowing what had happened, in short, this Saint was indeed a clone, yet he was a clone who stood on their side.

With the help of the clone Saint, Long Tianxing and the others quickly understood the Truth Cult's schemes and launched a counterattack. The counterattack was very smooth at the beginning; the allied forces fought their way to the outside of the Truth Cult base, and the Truth Cult members and the cloned bodies trying to stop them were completely vulnerable.

But just when everyone intended to break through the Truth Cult base in one go, a bizarre knight appeared. The knight severely injured the strongest person on their side, the Saintess of the Liyan Holy Land, with a single strike, causing panic among everyone.

Fortunately, the clone Saint acted, joining forces with Long Tianxing to unleash an incredibly powerful slash, knocking down that knight with a single sword strike. However, the price was that Long Tianxing seemed completely drained, and the clone Saint even fainted on the spot.

According to Long Tianxing, the clone Saint had said before launching the attack that after this strike, he would have a three-hour vacuum period where he needed someone to protect him, and only after the vacuum period ended could he join the battlefield again. So, Fan Wujiu had stayed behind.

"The Saint really enjoys a good life. Although a place like the Eastern Region is a bit chaotic, at least it has a lot of technology. Whether it's entertainment or daily necessities, it's far better than the Southern Desert."

"Speaking of which, Old Xie is also in the Eastern Region. When I get out, should I send Old Xie a message and ask him to go find the Saint for help?"

"No, no, that's a huge amount of money. Even the Saint probably couldn't afford it."

Fan Wujiu thought for a while, then nodded. "Still, I should let Old Xie try some moral kidnapping. If it works, and the Saint doesn't want to be burdened with this huge debt, wouldn't the only path left be to rebel?"

"I still need to give that old Sect Master some trouble!"

"Alright, forget about the trouble. Xie Bian will surely be able to return to the Qingxu Grotto-Heaven soon."

A hand rested on Fan Wujiu's shoulder, scaring him so much that he dropped his pre-prepared meal onto the ground. "Clone... uh, Saint, you're awake?"

Ignoring Fan Wujiu's reaction, Zhou Yan turned and flew toward the battlefield. He was very angry right now!

Seeing Zhou Yan fly away directly, Fan Wujiu let out a sigh of relief. "Scared me to death. When did he wake up?"

Looking at the pre-prepared meal on the ground, Fan Wujiu felt it was a pity, wondering if he could blow it off and still eat it. After all, this was a limited-edition pre-prepared meal contributed by Xiao Sheng; the taste was absolutely guaranteed.

But the next moment, Fan Wujiu suddenly realized a problem. "Did that clone Saint just mention Old Xie's matter? How could he possibly know?"

This guy was a clone, so he must have been born recently. It was absolutely impossible for him to know news from the Eastern Region, let alone that Zhou Yan himself didn't know about this matter. Wait, no, if Zhou Yan himself was in the Eastern Region, maybe he really did know.

"Doesn't that mean this Saint is the real one?"

Fan Wujiu quickly figured out the problem and was about to chase after Zhou Yan to ask about Xie Bian, but then glanced at the pre-prepared meal on the ground.

"Slap!" Fan Wujiu slapped himself hard.

"I actually hesitated between a brother and Spirit Food!"

After saying this, Fan Wujiu scooped up the pre-prepared meal, cleaned it slightly, and sat down to eat it again.

"A good brother won't disappear, but there's only one portion of food. How could I hesitate!"
