Qi Tian’s words had no effect whatsoever; Emperor Jianwu’s Divine Sense continued to struggle violently, constantly resisting the Servant Pact Qi Tian sent over.

Qi Tian wasn’t in a hurry. He spoke calmly and unhurriedly, “Prince, on both occasions, you had no choice but to sever a part of your Divine Sense. That must have been quite unpleasant, wasn’t it? Damage to the Divine Sense is extraordinarily difficult to repair, and this is of no benefit to your future survival. Thus, if you are willing to let me implant the Servant Pact, then I can return to you the Divine Sense you’ve severed both times and help you reintegrate them with your core Divine Sense, restoring it to its original state. How does that sound?”

Emperor Jianwu’s Divine Sense was still struggling fiercely and remained unmoved.

Qi Tian was patient and continued, “Prince, in addition to returning your damaged Divine Sense, I can promise you a second condition. You have been greatly harmed by Su Jinghan, and I believe you hate him to the bone. Yet, with your current state, there is no way you could harm Su Jinghan. However, that’s not a problem. As long as you agree to let me implant the Servant Pact, I can give you the opportunity to kill Su Jinghan, seek your revenge, and eliminate him once and for all, removing future threats.”

Emperor Jianwu’s Divine Sense no longer struggled as fiercely as before, and it was not clear whether he was exhausted or genuinely moved by Qi Tian’s conditions, or if he was perhaps preparing some sort of stopgap measure to paralyze Qi Tian. However, the latter possibility was very slim, as the Servant Pact released by Qi Tian was right in the midst of Emperor Jianwu’s Sea of Consciousness. If Emperor Jianwu were to give up resisting, or if the intensity of his resistance weakened ever so slightly, then the balance of power between him and the Servant Pact would shift with negative consequences, which would turn the situation decidedly against Emperor Jianwu. Being an old monster who had lived for five to six hundred years, it was unlikely he would commit such a basic mistake.

Seeing his continual proposals bearing some effect on Emperor Jianwu, Qi Tian’s spirits lifted, and he immediately decided to redouble his efforts, offering more conditions that Emperor Jianwu would find irresistible.

Qi Tian went on, “Prince, if you agree to let me implant the Servant Pact, I might even be able to help you achieve your greatest wish. The reason you always hide in a small space and dare not venture out is that you fear encountering disaster after your lifespan is exhausted. Although I cannot immediately help you get the elixirs and spiritual materials that can extend your lifespan, there are ways other than elixirs and spiritual materials to increase lifespan. We, as cultivators, can extend life best and most fundamentally by raising our cultivation level. Even within the same major realm, just a minor advancement can extend lifespan, and this is my specialty.”

Emperor Jianwu’s Divine Sense suddenly clamored, “Qi Tian, do not deceive me. How could you possibly possess such ability? Even you and Gao Jinmei, after exerting much effort, could only slightly stimulate the potential of my granddaughter. With such a trivial skill, you think you can raise my cultivation level? Do you take me for a three-year-old child who can be easily fooled?”

Qi Tian responded, “Prince, you can’t say it like that. Your situation is different from that of Zhao Ninglu. Zhao Ninglu’s talent is lacking; with her talent, it might take her one to two hundred years to reach the Gold Core Realm, presumably without much hope. Your case is different, your talent surely far surpasses Zhao Ninglu’s. The reason you ended up in this state is because the various elixirs and spiritual items you consumed were simply too numerous. In the short term, these might seem to greatly increase your lifespan, but all these elixirs and spiritual items carry a certain toxicity, making them difficult to purge from your body using your own power. Over time, these toxins accumulated, damaging your body, clogging your meridians, and completely shutting down any further possibility of advancement in your cultivation level. In my estimation, if you hadn’t consumed those elixirs and spiritual items, it would still have been possible for you to advance to the Gold Core Realm Late Stage. Unfortunately, you were probably too eager for quick success, cutting off your own path forward.”

Listening to Qi Tian’s analysis, Emperor Jianwu couldn’t help but recall when he had first entered the Imperial Family Secret Territory. As the latest abdicated emperor to enter, his strength could be said to be the weakest among all the emperors who had entered the Imperial Family Secret Territory. He had to be extremely cautious in whatever he did and act in submission to the other emperors’ wishes, an extremely unpleasant feeling. For Emperor Jianwu, who had held supreme power over Great Zhao Nation for one to two hundred years, this was an unbearable circumstance.

If at first Emperor Jianwu still harbored the idea of solidifying his foundation and gradually cultivating, after enduring such unbearable situations multiple times, he started to abandon that approach. He was desperate to increase his cultivation level as quickly as possible, without considering the consequences. Consequently, he began consuming all sorts of elixirs and spiritual items he could find that were said to enhance cultivation levels. His cultivation level increased, and so did his strength, earning him the right to be treated equally and speak on par with the other Princes, gaining their recognition and respect. Thus, he became even more infatuated with this method and practice.
