Chapter 411: Chapter 280 Conspiracy and Successful Deal

"Da...."

"Da...."

"Da...."

In the darkness, a slender and full figure approached from afar, with the clear sound of footsteps echoing in the vast stone temple.

The imposing stone temple towered majestically, its dome supported by pillars on all sides, and at the center sat an altar several zhang high.

With a gentle swaying of her hips, she slowly walked up the stairs only to see that three figures were already seated on the altar in the darkness.

Two men and one woman.

Her gaze swept over them; all three were dressed in strange, gauzy clothes, their skin pale from a lack of sunlight.

Looking at the other four who were already in place,

the woman walked slowly into their midst and sat down cross-legged, turning her eyes to the woman behind the white veil:

"Summoning us three in such a hurry, Great Master of Fate, you’re not planning on taking off your veil, are you?"

With that,

the woman leaned slightly forward, revealing a deep cleavage beneath her gauzy dress as she propped her chin, her eyes scanning the two men with a teasing smile:

"Is it Li Xing or Qin Yuan?"

In the Underground City, anyone with the qualification for cultivation would receive a thin veil from the Divine Palace.

And it would be removed after the rite of passage on their birthday.

Bai Muxi slowly opened her eyes, her red lips parted slightly beneath the light veil:

"No."

The woman raised her eyebrows, looking rather energetic:

"Bai Muxi, you wouldn’t be thinking about both men..."

"Yi Kui, shut up."

One of the men opened his eyes and looked at the woman, admonishing her sharply, "Show some respect for the Great Master of Fate. You always talk the most nonsense every time we meet."

Yi Kui glanced at the man, her eyes narrowing:

"Li Xing, did I say something wrong? As the mother of the Divine Son, the Great Master of Fate is naturally the strongest, but to perform the rite of passage, she must seek an even more powerful person. How else could she give birth to a Divine Son that would save the world?"

Li Xing’s gaze turned slightly cold:

"The prophecy of the sacrifice? You still believe in the so-called Divine Son prophecy from that old ghost who died seven years ago?"

"Of course, I can choose not to believe, but you should be well aware of our situation. In twenty years, or at most forty years, those otherworldly creatures will break through the Blood Nest’s seal. You know how strong those creatures are, can the four of us stop that horde of monsters?"

Yi Kui exhaled, propping herself up on her lithe arms, leaning back as her red lips curved into a light laugh:

"So let’s just enjoy ourselves in time. I actually miss you and Qin Yuan quite a bit. Perhaps I am the so-called mother of the Divine Son, hehehe...."

With that, silence fell.

No one spoke again.

As the four strongest in the Underground City of the caverns, they were well aware of the massive horde of otherworldly creatures within the Blood Nest.

It was a feeling of helplessness against an insurmountable foe.

Bai Muxi looked at the three companions she had grown up with and sighed softly, finally saying:

"I summoned the three of you here urgently because someone from the surface has arrived."

The draft in the Underground Palace was cold, gently fluttering the silk robes on all four figures.

Hearing the entire message, even Qin Yuan, the most indifferent among the three, couldn’t help but show a trace of shock and excitement in his eyes.

Yi Kui pursed her red lips, her voice trembling slightly:

"The... surface? Is it... Jiatiange?"

Bai Muxi gently shook her head, recounting her recent encounter to the three of them truthfully.

After listening carefully, the three of them had different expressions, but no one immediately spoke.

After countless generations, the appearance of two people from the surface in their desperate situation was like giving a lifesaver to a drowning person.

After a while,

Qin Yuan, the most rational, looked at Bai Muxi and spoke indifferently:

"If the identities of those two are as they claim, their Sumeru Rings must contain a great deal of materials from the surface."

He paused,

his hands resting on his knees, trembling slightly:

"However, the most important thing is, what is their level of cultivation?"

"One is at the Origin Initial stage, and the other is at the Soul Condensation stage."

"Origin Initial?"

Li Xing immediately disregarded the Soul Condensation Realm, his Adam’s apple bobbing, his voice trembling slightly:

"Since that’s the case, can we... can we exchange with them for the method to break through to Origin Initial?"

Their confinement at the Great Grandmaster stage wasn’t due to lack of talent but rather the absence of further cultivation methods.

The "Disaster of the Blood Nest" thousands of years ago had dealt a devastating blow to the Underground City’s cultivation path.

The ways of cultivation were cut off, and high-level cultivation techniques were destroyed.

The current cultivation methods were all worked out by the gifted ones of their city, generation after generation, from the remnants of ancient texts left behind.

Even so, Third Grade Great Master was their limit.

They had only guessed that advancing to Second Grade Origin Initial likely involved merging the Dao Charm into their bodies, but the specific cultivation method was not something one generation could deduce.

Moreover, they lacked further methods for operating Origin Qi.

Even Bai Muxi, who was half a step into Origin Initial, could only forcibly merge the Dao Charm into her body with the help of a "Blood Divine Stone."

If... if they had the cultivation techniques, they were confident they could break through to Second Grade Origin Initial during the second "Disaster of the Blood Nest."

By then, the Seven City Alliance, having four Origin Initials, might be able to fight against the otherworldly creatures from the Blood Nest.

"......"

Bai Muxi hesitated slightly at this question, recalling the beautiful man who had touched her chest, and bit her lip:

"We should be able to negotiate, as they also have the intention to trade with us."

After a brief pause, Bai Muxi added:

"But if we truly can exchange, we might have to pay a hefty price, one we might not be able to afford."
