Chapter 1226: Tian Chan’s Proposal, The Path Of One’s Dao (4)
"Three treasures," Tian Chan finally said through gritted teeth. "Let me retain just three treasures. I will surrender the rest. In exchange, I will swear by the Primordium to follow you for ten samsara cycles of heaven and earth after our departure. This arrangement is an extraordinarily good deal for you."
"Having one more True Saint follower means little to me," Wu Yuan shook his head.
This wasn't mere posturing. A True Saint? In the foreseeable future, Wu Yuan's body refiner self would become a Dao Zenithel of the Eldritch Court. He would hardly lack True Saint followers.
"Once I return to the cosmic sea with you, I will break through to become a Dao Zenithel," Tian Chan stared intently at Wu Yuan. "Consider that—a Dao Zenithel follower must be rare even in this Primordial Epoch."
Wu Yuan felt tempted but inwardly surprised. Dao Zenithel? Was this True Saint Tian Chan attempting to deceive him? The power displayed by his incarnations hardly suggested that he was close to advancing to Dao Zenithel.
Moreover, Tian Chan's reference to ‘this Primordial Epoch’ raised Wu Yuan's suspicions. Could this entity be a powerhouse born in the previous Primordial Epoch? How could such a thing be possible?
"Overlord Wu Ji, I face certain constraints. Some matters will become self-evident once you pass through the Grand Supreme Realm," Tian Chan shook his head. "I've cultivated for countless ages, and long since gained certainty of my breakthrough to Dao Zenithel. Upon our return to the cosmic sea, you will naturally understand."
Wu Yuan pondered momentarily.
"Alright!" he finally nodded. "I'll trust you this once. But if you fail to break through to Dao Zenithel after our return, you must surrender those three treasures you're keeping."
"Agreed," Tian Chan nodded. "Don’t worry. Once you pass through the Grand Supreme Realm, you'll naturally verify the truth of my promise.
"As for the incarnation technique—this is a unique ability of mine. You can only learn it within the Grand Supreme Realm; I cannot teach it to you. And should you fail to pass through the Grand Supreme Realm? Then our present agreement becomes meaningless."
"You might destroy these few incarnations of mine, but you cannot eliminate my true self," Tian Chan continued. "Here is the intelligence on the Grand Supreme Realm. Take it—though whether you possess this knowledge or not makes little difference."
