Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming - Chapter 2443
Chapter 2443: Chapter 845: The Hunt for the Venerable
Upon these words being spoken, Zhou Chun and the other two’s expressions drastically changed, their eyes filled with surprise and suspicion.
The Changchun Venerable’s avatar continued, “Rather than wait for the Venerable to slowly adapt to the Great Dao’s Laws of this realm and treat us as prey, it would be better for us to strike first and assess his capabilities!”
“I understand that mere verbal claims aren’t enough to make the three of you take the risk of hunting the Venerable. It’s normal to find it rather demanding based solely on my conjecture.”
“But rest assured, I am not one to act recklessly. Before proceeding with this plan, I have made thorough preparations and even enlisted the help of the Beiming Xuan Kun!”
“Even if we can’t kill the Venerable, I will forcibly take him away from this realm!”
Upon finishing his words, he gestured with his hand, indicating that everyone could speak.
Tai Geng Divine Venerable then immediately asked, “Changchun, putting aside whether your conjecture is true or not, you mentioned having contacted the Beiming Xuan Kun. Does that mean when you led us to attack the Dragon Abyss Marsh, you already anticipated this outcome?”
Upon hearing this, Changchun Venerable’s avatar promptly replied, “Half and half. At the time, I thought that if we could heavily wound the Beiming Xuan Kun or even kill the Golden Horn Dragon Sage, we could continue to engage in an illusionary battle with the Venerable. Unfortunately, I underestimated the power of the Beiming Xuan Kun!”
“But it was due to that previous battle that the Beiming Xuan Kun witnessed the strength of our Human Clan’s collective efforts in Divinity Transformation, laying the foundation for my negotiations with him!”
As the words fell, Zhou Chun immediately followed up, “I would also like to ask, Changchun, you mentioned contacting the Beiming Xuan Kun to hunt the Venerable, and prepared for the worst-case scenario to leave this realm with the Venerable. After you leave, will there be no one to restrain the Beiming Xuan Kun?”
Hearing this question, Changchun Venerable’s avatar nodded and said, “Your worry is not unfounded, Zhou Taoist. This is why I plan to have the Beiming Xuan Kun ascend together. His cultivation level has reached the peak of this realm, so letting him ascend is not difficult!”
“I have a question too, why is Changchun targeting the Venerable and only inviting the three of us? Why not call on other Taoist friends?”
Ye Qingxuan asked softly, expressing his doubt.
Upon hearing this, Changchun Venerable’s avatar shook his head and said, “That’s not the case. Besides you three, I’ve also contacted Guanghan Daoist. As for Daoist Xuanwu and Taoist Lingfeng, frankly speaking, I don’t fully trust them, fearing they might leak information, so I chose not to contact them!”
Speaking of this, he also looked at Zhou Chun and the other two, saying, “This matter is indeed perilous and unpredictable. If you three are unwilling, I won’t force you, but I only ask that you don’t leak the information. That’s all!”
Zhou Chun and the other two exchanged glances, remaining silent for a long time.
This matter does indeed carry enormous risks, leading them to treat it with caution.
Knowing the gravity of the situation, Changchun Venerable did not rush them.
He understood that the three needed ample time to communicate and weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.
After an unknown duration, seeming as though they finally finished deliberating, the three nodded to one another, then Tai Geng Divine Venerable spoke up: “Wise Changchun, after our discussion, we unanimously agree to assist, but we require certain guarantees from you!”
“Oh, I wonder what guarantees you require? Feel free to state your demands!”
Changchun Venerable’s avatar’s eyes flashed fleetingly as he calmly spoke.
Tai Geng Divine Venerable then slowly stated, “Our conditions are mainly fourfold. First, you allow us access to your private library and share all you know about various secrets and insights into breaking through realms, allowing us to learn more secrets from the Ancient Times to the present.”
“Second, if you ascend, Changchun Valley and your personal treasures are to be at our disposal!”
“Third, once the matter succeeds, all our obligations to you will be canceled; we will owe you nothing!”
“Fourth, we retain the right to retreat. If the Venerable turns out to be too strong to withstand, we may flee instead of fighting to the death!”
When the words were finished, the trio’s gaze fixed firmly on Changchun Venerable’s avatar, awaiting his response.
After a brief contemplation, Changchun Venerable’s avatar nodded and said, “I can agree, these conditions are not excessive!”
Upon hearing his agreement, Tai Geng Divine Venerable and the other two nodded together and replied, “In that case, we have no further questions, and we await Changchun’s instructions!”
“Great, thank you for your trust and support. I will deliver the private library’s contents later to you three. Whatever secrets you wish to know, feel free to inquire!”
Changchun Venerable’s avatar nodded in satisfaction, immediately fulfilling the agreement.
Next, as Changchun Venerable’s avatar answered without reservation, Zhou Chun and the other two took turns asking all the accumulated difficult questions.
After nearly half a month’s worth of questions and answers, ensuring they had no further doubts, the trio ceased their inquiries.
At this time, Changchun Venerable’s avatar also began to discuss his plan.
Several days later, Changchun Venerable’s private library was transported to the Zhou Family, with copies made and distributed to Tai Geng Divine Venerable and Ye Qingxuan.
