Chapter 1074: Ninety-Thousand Years
"You're certain you can accomplish this?" A faint, noncommittal smile appeared on True Saint Bu Xiu’s face. "The Abyss is a treacherous place. Though you aim to slay only a Sovereign and not a Devil Emperor, the difficulty remains extreme."
"I know you possess late-stage Overlord strength, but I fear even that may not suffice." The True Saint shook his head. "One hundred and twenty thousand years is a tight deadline indeed."
To a True Saint, a hundred thousand years or more? Merely the blink of an eye, perhaps passing in a brief nap.
"This disciple will find a way," Wu Yuan intoned gravely.
"Very well." True Saint Bu Xiu nodded. "The path of the mighty is fraught with thorns. Only those with grand aspirations and iron resolve achieve greatness. If you believe this task worth pursuing, then pursue it. I'll not dissuade you further.
"But do not be reckless. Your achievements on the path of cultivation are hard-won. Do not truly perish in the depths of the Abyss."
"Thank you for your counsel, Master," Wu Yuan replied respectfully, understanding the True Saint's good intentions.
Simultaneously, Wu Yuan's mind raced, contemplating how he might kill Sovereign Gui Chi.
"This marks the first true meeting between us master and disciple. I ought to bestow some gifts to commemorate the occasion," True Saint Bu Xiu said with a faint smile. "However, I observe you already possess numerous Xiantian artifacts. Their radiance is so blinding, it nearly dazzles this old man's eyes."
"You jest, Master," Wu Yuan chuckled.
He knew full well that his techniques for concealing Xiantian artifacts could fool Overlords and Perennial Eternals. But faced with a True Saint Eternal? It was only natural that they were seen through at a glance.
