427: Helian Rui's warning

Helian Rui sighed and gestured. A nimble Bird Demon nearby found some animal bones, piled them into a chair, and let the two sit down.

He said, "How much do you know about Helian Meng?"

Old Potato thought for a moment and said:

"He is rumored to be the last one to achieve Ascension, and also an existence who carved his name within the territory of the Demon Race Outside the Wall."

"I guessed he should be of the Yao Race, but you happen to be of the Human Race."

"If it were a coincidence, the stone tablet by the Great Flood Dragon bone happens to record that Helian Meng indeed uses the throne."

"What is going on? I am very curious, and we players are all very curious."

After Old Potato finished speaking, he felt that by asking like this, Helian Rui would only think he was an idiot.

He then added:

"You have seen the potential of us players. If you tell us about Helian Meng, the immortal path, and the throne, we players are very likely to become your allies."

"When the time comes, whatever you want to do, such as restarting the immortal path or other major events, we players will also help out."

"The Yuyao Kingdom will definitely not lose out."

Helian Rui stared at him for a long time, sighed, and said:

"Old Potato, you are an honest person. You will suffer a great loss if you try to fish for information like this."

"I will not tell you, and I advise you not to ask about this in front of other Envoys in the future."

Not answering was also an answer.

Even if Old Potato were any dumber, he would still understand. The other party meant...

Helian Meng and their Helian family probably really had a connection!

However, how could someone who left a name on the Sacred Emperor Mountain of the Yao Race be related to the throne of the Yuyao Kingdom?

And from the records, it did not look like he was tamed by the throne of the Yuyao Kingdom; it looked more like he controlled the throne.

What was going on?

"Old Potato, this is the new batch of cultivation resources allocated to you by the Yuyao Kingdom, along with these Jade Slips. They record the Artifact Refining techniques you need to master at the moment."

"I will give you three months to fully comprehend them."

After Helian Rui finished speaking, he stood up from the bone chair, whistled, and an Eagle Demon came to pick him up.

Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Old Potato, you are an honest person. My Yuyao Kingdom currently needs your help and has to detain you here, but it can be considered a mutually beneficial situation. We will not be stingy with the cultivation resources you need."

"I just hope you will not harbor any resentment toward us."

"In addition, I have two more points to instruct you on."

Old Potato was used to Helian Rui's style of leaving after delivering resources. This was the first time he had heard the other party say so much, so he could not help but become serious:

"Please speak."

Helian Rui pondered and said:

"First, I am an Envoy under the Throne Holder Helian, which is vastly different from other Envoys. You need not ask more, but you just need to know that I am different from them."

"There are some things you can say to me and discuss with me, but you must absolutely not discuss them with other Envoys."

"No, not just conversation; do not even let the slightest thought or idea arise in front of other Envoys."

Old Potato thought that when the Yuyao Kingdom moved south back then, Helian Rui was indeed the first Envoy to appear, so his status must be extraordinary.

Perhaps it was precisely because his status was extraordinary that he could be tolerant? If it were another Envoy, would they have been angered by his recklessness?

Although he did not quite understand the details, Old Potato knew that he could not outsmart the old foxes among the natives, so he had to nod in agreement.

"Second, anything related to the immortal path is a major event, without exception."

"Don't say that you are only at the fifth rank; even that fourth-rank state-stabilizing seal would only crawl and follow in the face of such major events. How could it dare to stick its neck out?"

"Helian Meng, the throne, the Great Flood Dragon—in short, do not investigate anything related to the immortal path anymore."

"Keep some distance from your fellow countrymen as well, lest their blood splatters on you."

"Staying here means you are a part of my Yuyao Kingdom; no matter what happens outside, it will not affect you."

Old Potato was stunned, suddenly thinking of something.

Something that the players had overlooked before.

After Yan Xiao entered the North Mountain, he triggered many earthquakes, lifted many ancient Grand Arrays, and exposed many ruins.

The Yuyao Kingdom had many Envoys and great Yao fighting and competing with players.

But when the Great Flood Dragon jade bone appeared, even players from a thousand miles away rushed over upon hearing the news.

Yet not a single Envoy or great Yao from the Yuyao Kingdom came near.

It was as if they were afraid of getting involved in Karma.

Old Potato hesitated for a long time. He did not nod in agreement but instead shook his head and said:

"No matter what, I am a player."

"If something really big happens, we players should stand together. How could I stay out of it?"

Helian Rui had already mounted the back of the Eagle Demon and was slowly rising into the air. Finally, he said:

"If you are worried about your resurrection points, then you might as well find some independent means of resurrection. In the future, like a clever rabbit with three burrows, you will not be subject to others."

After saying this, he said no more and drifted away.

Leaving Old Potato stunned in place.

...

...

Demon Race Outside the Wall.

At the foot of Sacred Emperor Mountain.

As more and more players arrived, this area had transformed from a desolate place into a small village.

Players were either preparing to challenge the Sacred Emperor Mountain here or had already received the Legacy and were cultivating.

On this day, after Wan Lin finished practicing a set of eighth-rank fist techniques, he slowly walked toward the Sacred Emperor Mountain.

A player who knew him saw him and quickly asked:

"Wan Lin, are you finally going to challenge the Sacred Emperor Mountain for the second time?"

When Wan Lin challenged the Sacred Emperor Mountain for the first time, he was just a Mortal, his strength was negligible, and his Physical Body was extremely weak.

In the end, relying on his Special Physique, he successfully reached the Dead Flesh Layer and obtained the Legacy left by the Sacred Emperor.

At that time, he thought that after returning to cultivate, he would climb and challenge it again, and ultimately must obtain the best Legacy.

"That's right, today I am going to challenge the Sacred Emperor Mountain for the second time!"

Wan Lin was wearing a yellow cultivation suit, tied with a rope at the waist, making his figure look upright and full of strength.

"Then you might as well wait for a while."

The player greeting him said: "I heard that Yan Xiao is coming."

Immediately, other players chimed in:

"That's right, Yan Xiao is the child of destiny. Maybe the Sacred Emperor Mountain will change once he arrives!"

"When that happens, who knows? We might not even need to climb the mountain; the Legacy might just come out directly!"

"I think we should wait for a while. If we accidentally die inside and miss Yan Xiao after respawning, that would be a huge loss."

Listening to the discussions of these players.

Wan Lin could not help but frown.

child of destiny?

He remembered that this title was recorded in ancient books to specifically refer to Cultivators with great Luck. They were considered heaven-favored, achieving twice the result with half the effort no matter what they did, and incredible good things always happened wherever they went.

Later, Yan Xiao was called the child of destiny by the players.

"No, I want to climb the mountain before he comes."

Wan Lin rejected the other players' proposal, looked toward the Sacred Emperor Mountain, and said seriously:

"I can feel that the most important thing about the Sacred Emperor Mountain is not the final Legacy, but the process of climbing and challenging the Sacred Emperor Mountain. That is the true Legacy left by the Sacred Emperor."

"I must walk it myself."
