418: Keep persuading!
A Half-Immortal Artifact! This Supreme treasure, which she believed no longer existed in the Eastern Region, now truly appeared before her eyes!
"Sect Leader Wei... you truly have great Opportunity, great Opportunity! This junior once again congratulates Sect Leader Wei. With this item, I fear we will be fully prepared to face future invasions from Thousand Stars State..."
"It's just that from now on, the distance between Sect Leader Wei and me will surely grow. I wonder if Sect Leader Wei will still acknowledge me as a friend if he becomes a Supreme Being."
Yuan Yinqiu's voice slowly drifted out, still incredibly pleasant, but anyone could hear the infinite longing and envy contained in her words, as well as a hint of resentment.
Wei Feiyu put away the Void Spirit Ring, staring at Yuan Yinqiu as he said:
"Sect Leader Yuan, no matter what my cultivation Realm is, my relationship with you... I will never change."
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere immediately became a bit awkward...
"Ahem... well, Sect Leader Yuan, I almost forgot about the important matter."
"What important matter?"
"It's about treasures like this; that Senior told me that you can also get one... but..."
"What!!!"
Before Wei Feiyu could finish, Yuan Yinqiu directly exclaimed in surprise:
"I can have one too?! Is it true?! Did that Senior really say that?!"
Yuan Yinqiu was incredibly surprised, completely losing her usual cold demeanor.
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you? It's just that you need to agree to one condition."
"What condition?"
"That Senior needs to collect all the Origin of Luo Yu Province, so he hopes that we do not stop the Origin from being collected. As long as we agree to this condition, he will give out a Supreme treasure for free!"
"Collecting Origin?!"
Yuan Yinqiu's expression changed, instinctively feeling a hint of unease. Origin is the Foundation of a province; if it were forcibly collected, wouldn't that be pulling the rug out from under them?
From her own perspective, being able to obtain a Half-Immortal Artifact, even if the Origin was taken away, was definitely a profitable deal.
But from the perspective of the hundreds of millions of Cultivators in Luo Yu Province, this would be severing their path of cultivation!
"Sect Leader Yuan, don't worry."
Wei Feiyu saw her concerns:
"According to Senior Lu, after he reconstructs the Heart of Origin, he will reconstruct the Eastern Region a few years later, restoring it to its appearance from a hundred thousand years ago!"
"What?! How is that possible! Sect Leader Wei, you haven't been deceived, have you? Reconstructing the Heart of Origin is understandable, but reconstructing the Eastern Region? That's a bit far-fetched, isn't it?"
"I'm not clear on the specifics either; that Senior just said so. We didn't dare to ask. Actually, I don't think Sect Leader Yuan needs to be conflicted."
"Why?"
"I know Sect Leader Yuan cares about the common people of the entire Luo Yu Province, but think about it, a being that can casually give out Half-Immortal Artifacts, couldn't he forcibly seize the Origin? Does he still need our consent?"
"So, in my opinion, Senior Lu is an incredibly benevolent person. Anyway, if it were me with such earth-shattering means, I couldn't do better than him."
Yuan Yinqiu fell silent.
Her heart was surging. Collecting Origin—this matter was too shocking and carried immense risk.
But the other party could casually produce a Half-Immortal Artifact as "sincerity," indicating his cultivation and methods were unfathomable.
Resist? Although Tian Yuan Sect was strong, facing an existence that could control a Half-Immortal Artifact, it would probably be like an ant.
Moreover, the temptation of a Half-Immortal Artifact was too great!
That meant a qualitative leap in the Sect's Foundation, meaning the possibility of her own Breakthrough to a higher Realm! It meant she would have the chance to glimpse the threshold of the Supreme Being!
A battle raged in her mind; reason told her it was very dangerous, possibly a huge gamble.
But having personally witnessed the power of that Half-Immortal Artifact, and personally felt the immense benefits that Immortal Qi brought to the Sect, greed and the desire for power quietly grew like vines, intertwining around her Dao Heart.
"Is Senior Lu truly that powerful?"
Yuan Yinqiu's voice was a bit hoarse, asking a meaningless question; at this moment, her heart was already in turmoil.
"Inside the Overturning Sky Boat, myriad treasures are displayed, and Origin intertwines like a sea. That sight... if Sect Leader Yuan could see it personally, you would know that what I say is not false."
Wei Feiyu's gaze was burning:
"Senior Lu's capabilities are absolutely beyond our conjecture. Obstructing him is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; following him will bring immeasurable good fortune! I've made myself very clear, Sect Leader Yuan, don't hesitate anymore!"
This last sentence was like a heavy hammer striking Yuan Yinqiu's heart. She recalled her stagnant cultivation... and then looked at the faint Breakthrough Opportunity that had appeared just now because of that wisp of Immortal Qi.
After a long time, Yuan Yinqiu took a deep breath, a hint of determination flashing in her beautiful eyes:
"Good! Fellow Daoist Wei, this junior thanks you for bringing me this immense Opportunity!"
A smile appeared on Wei Feiyu's face:
"Sect Leader Yuan is wise! Without further ado, I still need to persuade other Cultivators of the Yang Shi Realm. Sect Leader Yuan, would you be willing to accompany me to Barrenwood Cliff? With Sect Leader Yuan's personal testimony, it will surely save a lot of effort."
Yuan Yinqiu was slightly startled, then understood Wei Feiyu's intention.
This was to pull her into the same boat, to increase persuasiveness, and at the same time, for the two of them together to increase a lot of deterrent power.
"Since Sect Leader Wei personally invites me, how could I refuse?"
Yuan Yinqiu smiled, a beauty that could topple nations, once again making Wei Feiyu's heart stir.
Barrenwood Cliff, its Sect Leader, Heart-Withered Reverend, had a solitary and eccentric nature, and his Lifespan was nearing its end, making him eager for anything that could extend his Lifespan.
Wei Feiyu had a slight disagreement with him, so without any politeness, he directly used the Half-Immortal Artifact to stimulate him, and the effect was extremely ideal.
Heart-Withered Reverend's entire cultivation became unstable. If he hadn't feared the combined strength of the two, he would have wanted to snatch it!
Yuan Yinqiu then personally explained Lu Hao's matter of collecting Origin and also explained the Origin of the Half-Immortal Artifact.
Heart-Withered Reverend didn't hesitate at all, directly leaping up and shouting:
"No problem! No problem! Let's go, let's go! Let's go collect the Origin!!!"
...
For the three subsequent Yang Solid powerhouses, Wei Feiyu didn't spend much effort, and they all agreed.
After all, Yuan Yinqiu still had some compassion, but in the hearts of others, how could there be such things? There was only the desire for cultivation progress and the Supreme treasure, the Half-Immortal Artifact!
On the other side, Duan Yangrong's methods were much more direct!
Tie Kuangtu, the Sect Leader of Iron Sword Sect, had a fiery and stubborn temperament.
Duan Yangrong was initially somewhat polite, but as soon as he explained his purpose, he was met with a stern rebuke from him.
He loudly accused him of spreading heresies, using the name of an unknown person, and actually daring to shake the Foundation of Luo Yu.
