Chapter 1705: Chapter 1725: You gave it to me before I even sworn?_1

A Promise Oath?

Without hesitation, Lin Chen agreed, "Of course, how do we do it?"

The middle-aged man brought out a doll and placed it in front of Lin Chen.

"You should drop your blood on this Promise Doll and vow not to leak the Reincarnation Scriptures. If there is any leakage, you will be destroyed by the Heavenly Dao, and both body and soul will be wiped out!"

Lin Chen curiously stared at the doll in front of him, checked it out several times: "A promise doll?"

The middle-aged man nodded: "Yes, this is a doll infused with the Dao of promises. If you swear on it and break your oath, it will provoke the Heavenly Dao and you will be punished."

"That’s amazing?"

Lin Chen exclaimed, then cleanly and neatly rejected: "I don’t want to learn anymore!"

The middle-aged man was nearly thrown by Lin Chen’s sudden change of heart. Weren’t you just clamoring to learn, and now that the opportunity is in front of you, you don’t want to learn anymore?

You’re playing me, aren’t you!

The middle-aged man frowned: "Brother Chen, what do you mean?"

Lin Chen shrugged, frankly responding: "It could wipe out your body and soul, that’s too extreme! Just to learn a Cultivation Technique, and I have to bet my life?"

The middle-aged man explained: "This is to ensure that the Reincarnation Scriptures are not leaked out. As long as you keep your promise and don’t leak it, this oath is essentially non-existent and you will not be punished."

Lin Chen shook his head violently: "Although I can promise not to pass it on, I am afraid of special circumstances. I talk in my sleep. What if I leak it during my sleep talk, won’t I die wronged then?"

The middle-aged man was suddenly speechless. He couldn’t say that Lin Chen’s concern was unreasonable. Because leaking it during sleep talk, indeed counts as leakage, and is a violation of the Oath of Promise.

How can this guy be so troublesome!

"The Reincarnation Scriptures is a top-notch Cultivation Technique. After comprehending the Dao, you can transcend life and death. Such an opportunity is rare and not to be missed, won’t you reconsider?"

Lin Chen firmly shook his head: "My life is important. I won’t swear, I am afraid of dying wrongfully! The Cultivation Techniques I practice may not be as good as the Reincarnation Scriptures, but I don’t think it would be much worse. Trading with things is acceptable, but betting my life is not worthwhile!"

The middle-aged man was helpless.

Just as the middle-aged man was about to give up, Lin Chen drained the tea in his cup and stood up.

"Thank you for inviting me for tea. Since I can’t learn the Reincarnation Scriptures, I won’t stay any longer, so as not to delay you. Rest assured, I will keep all that’s happened here a secret."

Keep a secret?

Hehe, only dead men can keep a secret!

If it were someone else, the middle-aged man would immediately shout to kill him. But thinking about Lin Chen’s explosive talisman that can destroy everything within a hundred miles and even fairies can’t resist, the middle-aged man swallowed his anger.

"Forget it, if you won’t swear, then don’t swear. Later, after everyone gets comfortable with each other, you joining us will be the same."

The middle-aged man directly took out a jade slip and threw it to Lin Chen: "This is the lower volume of the Reincarnation Scriptures. You can first comprehend this, once you have fully comprehended it, we will give you the middle volume."

When Lin Chen received the jade slip, he was a little stunned.

They just gave it to me like that?

It’s not fake, is it?

"Big brother, I haven’t sworn yet, and you’re already giving it to me? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll take it and run away?"

The middle-aged man laughed: "There is an Array Formation sealing this place. Unless the formation is opened, you can’t leave. Now that you have the thing, study it well. Your timing isn’t great, we just finished a lecture today. The next lecture will be a month later, but you can take this time to get familiar with it. If you have any questions next time, you can ask, and someone will answer for you."

So, they aren’t worried about me running away at all!

But I wasn’t planning on running!

Lin Chen was quite surprised that he was able to slip through so smoothly, and even managed to get the Reincarnation Scriptures!

Lin Chen immediately promised: "I will definitely study it well. If there are any insights, I’ll be sure to share them with everyone. I definitely won’t keep anything to myself."

The middle-aged man approved: "Let’s go, I’ll lead you to your living quarters. Oh, and by the way, my name is Yan Hao."

"Thank you, Brother Yan. I must trouble you with your guidance in the future."

Lin Chen praised effusively, thanking the middle-aged man, then followed him out of the tea room. As they arrived at the back, Lin Chen saw an even more awe-inspiring scene.

The entire underground area was completely hollowed out, with rows of densely packed stone chambers, it seemed quite spectacular.

Lin Chen exclaimed in shock: "Is each cave a cultivator? How many people are here, surely it’s not just thousands, right?"

Yan Hao replied: "Every person contemplating the Reincarnation Scriptures will have a stone chamber. But now, there are only about five hundred people here. Others are busy outside, but they would come back regularly to study the Reincarnation Scriptures."

Lin Chen exclaimed: "These people must all be incredibly powerful, right?"

Yan Hao originally had intention to absorb Lin Chen, in order to draw in the sect behind Lin Chen. Now, he proudly answered: "Those who can cultivate here are all True Immortal and above. At least half of them are Golden Immortals, and furthermore, twenty Celestial Immortals are stationed here all year round. Your being allowed to study the Reincarnation Scriptures here as an Earth Immortal is indeed a great fortune!"

Lin Chen was taken aback, five hundred Immortals, most of them True Immortals, a small portion Golden Immortals, and twenty Celestial Immortals!

This was mind-blowing!

As expected of the Southern Alliance, their strength was outstanding.
