Chapter 857: Chapter 278: Cultivation... It’s Actually Very Tiring._3

""However, since you have come from the Heavenly Prison, with your strength and talent, you will surely be able to ascend to the Immortal Realm one day. I must remind you, try not to reveal anything about having come from the Heavenly Prison."

"Otherwise... you will experience what it means to be endlessly pursued, not by one power, but by countless ones."

"I’m not exaggerating in the slightest."

"There was such a case before, a strong figure who came from the Heavenly Prison accidentally let slip this information, and thereafter, tens of thousands of powerful beings from countless forces attacked every day, like an unending tide that never stopped."

"It’s said..."

Ba Dan hesitated for a moment before speaking uncertainly, "I’m not clear on the specific reasons, as my grade doesn’t grant me access to such information. After all, the Immortal Realm is also graded, and where I am is just the lowest, the Fifth Grade Immortal Realm. I’ve heard that those who come from the Heavenly Prison seem to have undergone a special baptism."

"That is, to be completely free from the control of the Heavenly Dao."

"And as long as you consume the flesh and blood of such a person, it’s possible to receive the same baptism. But this is just speculation, I don’t know if it’s true. After all, the Heavenly Dao can’t even directly strike a person dead, let alone control a cultivator, so how can it be that they are completely free from its control?"

"Among the rumors, it’s said that those like Zhao Yishi who were brought out don’t undergo this baptismal benefit, only those like you who actively break out have this effect in their flesh and blood."

"..."

Chen Qiu looked strangely at Ba Dan, "Senior, what you’ve said suddenly gives me a sense of crisis."

"Ah ha."

Ba Dan waved his hand, a dry, somewhat embarrassed smile on his face: "Chen my friend, rest assured, I, Ba Dan, never betray my friends, and I definitely won’t reveal this."

"Besides, I won’t live much longer anyway, and the mouth of a dead man is the most reassuring."

"Okay."

Chen Qiu didn’t say anything more, just waved his hand and took his leave from Ba Dan and the others. He transformed into a beam of Liu Guang with Fat Long and the others, shooting toward the edge of the sky. According to Ba Dan, there was a decent-sized Immortal City to the east, and he intended to have a look there.

...

After Chen Qiu and the others had left.

Ba Dan, with a complex expression, stayed silent for a long time before murmuring, "Zhao Yishi, do you know how terrifying your friend is?"

"A bit."

Zhao Yishi said in a deep voice, "To be able to defeat my grandfather, who is at the Mahayana Realm, with just unification cultivation, is quite terrifying when you think about it."

"Yes."

Ba Dan fell silent, lost in thought. Although his cultivation realm had fallen to the early stages of Mahayana, he used to be an Immortal King. Even though he couldn’t use most of the Immortal King’s moves anymore, and his Lifebound Spirit Treasure had been sold by himself, his strength was still not something an ordinary early Mahayana could compare to.

But in front of Chen Qiu, he had no power to resist at all.

Admittedly, he hadn’t used his full strength, but neither had Chen Qiu. He could sense the grade of Chen Qiu’s Unification Killing Move was at least above ninety. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Isn’t this kid overdoing it a bit?"

Who has a grade approaching three digits!

In all his years soaring through the Immortal Realm, he had never seen or even heard of any unification cultivator with a Killing Move grade near a hundred.

Such a young age, yet possessing such strength and opportunity, he will certainly make a name for himself in the Immortal Realm in the future. The position of a new Immortal King is almost certainly his, as long as he doesn’t die prematurely. Then, the future would be bright.

And...

He had previously learned a spell to sense Yin Emperor’s Fortune or Luck of Yin Soul within a hundred miles specifically to search for Yin Emperor’s Fortune. As soon as Chen Qiu appeared, he sensed this kind of aura from him.

The aura of Yin Emperor’s Fortune and Luck of Yin Soul.

He hadn’t expected Chen Qiu to have such a great fortune.

He didn’t ask for it for two reasons. One, there was no need, as he had already resolved to embrace death, using the last of his life to put the perfect final punctuation on his own life and provide Zhao Yishi with the brightest future.

Second, he didn’t want Zhao Yishi to witness such a disgraceful scene of his grandfather. Knowing that Zhao Yishi harbored a strong aversion to warfare, he had always been subtly changing this. If Zhao Yishi knew that his grandfather was begging from his friend for something, it would completely douse the unlit flame of a warrior’s heart in Zhao Yishi.

At that moment—

Zhao Yishi, who was nearby, suddenly seemed to think of something and said quietly, ’"Grandpa, didn’t you say you’d take me to see the Immortal Realm when we had the time?"

"Hmm."

After a long silence, Ba Dan suddenly started to laugh, "We should see it, we should indeed, why not today instead of choosing another day?"

He had lied to Chen Qiu.

Upon learning of his Immortal Cancer, being an Immortal King, he knelt before his greatest enemy, the Demon Clan Leader, and kowtowed, kissing the leader’s shoes, begging for mercy in exchange for a thread of Yin Emperor’s luck.

But to no avail.

This scene was recorded by a Memory Stone and spread throughout the entire Fifth Grade Immortal Realm, becoming the most shameful moment of his life.

So...

Even though he knew Chen Qiu possessed a thread of Yin Emperor’s luck, he didn’t want to ask for it again. He didn’t want a repeat of such humiliation, and this shame was so deep that even if he survived, he would be too ashamed to return to the Immortal Realm.

He pinned all his hopes on Zhao Yishi, only wishing that Zhao Yishi could inherit his title of Immortal King in the future, to cleanse his shame and elevate the name of Ba Dan!
