Chapter 1639: To Bei Yuan
He was the only one who could do this. No one else could.
First, it was his responsibility and duty to slay the Four Evils. Naturally, the quest to collect the four evil suppressing spiritual treasures fell on his shoulders.
Second, he was the one possessing a wisp of King Taishan’s divine intent. Therefore, he might be the only one capable of locating the four evil suppressing spiritual treasures.
Third, everyone else had their own responsibilities to fulfill; things to worry about. He was the only one with all the time in the world in his eyes.
Therefore, no one else was better suited to the task of searching for the treasures than him.
Of course, just because his fellow Sages would not be accompanying him on his search did not mean that they wouldn’t help him. In fact, they all promised to provide him with the utmost assistance and convenience within their capabilities.
There was only a decade or so left before the Four Evils broke free from their seals. It sounded like he still had a long time, but in reality that wasn’t the case. Not for Ye Qing at least.
On top of that, the evil suppressing spiritual treasures were surely hidden in treacherous, extraordinary locations. There was no way he would be able to collect them all in a short time. Best case scenario, he would collect them all in three to five years. Worst case scenario... well, he didn’t want to think about it.
That was why ten years wasn’t a long time at all.
It was also why he and Feng Qingyou immediately embarked on the journey to search for the evil suppressing spiritual treasures.
In order to shorten the amount of time it took to locate the spiritual treasures, they decided to split up with White Robe Demon Master. White Robe Demon Master would head to Nan Xu alone, while he and Feng Qingyou would travel to Bei Yuan.
White Robe Demon Master was powerful enough to handle any and all danger that he might encounter in his journey. The reason they sent him to Nan Xu was because White Robe Demon Master had lived in the Southern Sea for a very long time. In fact, he once traveled to Nan Xu in search of his Great Way. That was why he was relatively familiar with the place and a suitable candidate to conduct the search.
