Chapter 810 - 326: Celestial Demon’s Right Hand Awakens! The Old Monster Attacks!
Jiang Shi went straight to the point and asked about the purpose of the visit.
The elder before him immediately smiled gently, clasped his hands together, and said, "Truly, nothing escapes Fellow Daoist Jiang. Since you’ve asked directly, there’s no need for us to beat around the bush.
Fellow Daoist Jiang should also be aware of your current situation. The restriction over this world is dissipating every moment. It might not take many years before it’s completely gone. By then, the gods will descend and illuminate the land. Are you really planning to face the gods and buddhas of the heavens alone?
In this world, aside from our Thousand Tribulations Sect, I fear there’s no other force that can assist you, Fellow Daoist Jiang.
As long as you can ally with us, when the gods descend, our Thousand Tribulations Sect will certainly help you fend off these enemies from all over the heavens!"
"Oh?"
Jiang Shi raised an eyebrow, quickly pondering in his heart, and looked at the elder before him, saying, "This is truly curious. How can you be so certain that I can open the Thousand Demon Cave? From what I know, this Thousand Demon Cave has existed through countless ages and no one has ever opened it since ancient times. On what basis do you claim I can open it?"
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you needn’t worry about that. Since we intend to cooperate with you, we naturally have more than ninety percent certainty on this matter."
The elder smiled slightly and said, "The opening of the Thousand Demon Cave isn’t a task for one person. Our Thousand Tribulations Sect has long prepared other methods; all that’s missing is some of your Blood of Origin, Fellow Daoist Jiang."
"My Blood of Origin?"
Jiang Shi narrowed his eyes, "The Blood of Origin of the Innate Vajra?"
"It’s not necessarily the Innate Vajra; the blood of any supremely strong and holy individual under the heavens can serve as a catalyst. However, such individuals are exceedingly rare, and their blood is ultimately somewhat inferior to that of the Innate Vajra."
The elder explained.
"I see."
Jiang Shi immediately understood.
He wasn’t an Innate Vajra, but he had various Body Tempering Secret Techniques and the Hundredfold Dragon Elephant. His physical body had long surpassed ordinary sanctity, exceeding the Innate Vajra.
Using his blood would certainly not be subpar.
"But how can I believe that you’re not just using me? Moreover, I find it hard to believe that the Thousand Tribulations Sect can single-handedly overcome gods and buddhas from all over the heavens."
Jiang Shi expressed his doubts.
"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Jiang. Since we can propose this condition, we can naturally ensure no problems arise. As for using you, if you remain concerned, we can sign a Soul Contract with you."
The elder said, "Surely, Fellow Daoist Jiang has heard of the Soul Contract?"
"Soul Contract?"
Jiang Shi’s eyes flashed.
If the Thousand Tribulations Sect genuinely wishes to sign a Soul Contract with him, that’s certainly not a bad thing.
Having the Thousand Tribulations Sect handle aftermaths could help him avoid many troubles.
Besides, the Celestial Demon Head was still sealed in the Thousand Demon Cave, and one day he would have to unlock it. Cooperating with the Thousand Tribulations Sect now would undoubtedly save a lot of trouble.
"Fine, if you’re truly willing to cooperate with me, let’s sign the Soul Contract."
Jiang Shi said directly.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang is indeed straightforward."
The elder smiled slightly and clasped his hands, saying, "In that case, I shall now go to inform the Upper Envoy. The Upper Envoy will personally come to sign the contract with Fellow Daoist Jiang, for with our position and strength, I’m afraid you won’t be quite reassured."
"As you wish."
Jiang Shi nodded.
The elder immediately clasped his hands lightly and, with four young people, quickly withdrew, transforming into beams of light that vanished in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Shi quietly waited.
Time passed swiftly.
About two hours after the elder left, bright lights appeared in the distance, as two figures rapidly approached.
Aside from the elder who had just left, another elder with red hair and beard, robust build, sharp eyes, and immense speed, was flying at the forefront.
In no time, the two figures landed nearby.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, let me introduce you to Upper Envoy Chen Lin of our Thousand Tribulations Sect."
The elder immediately introduced with a smile.
The red-haired and red-bearded elder beside him clasped his fists and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, it’s an honor."
"You’re too kind."
Jiang Shi nodded lightly.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, this Soul Scroll is left by a Divine Spirit of our Thousand Tribulations Sect. You only need to infuse your essence blood into it to sign the contract with that Divine Spirit Ancestor. Under the Soul Contract, neither party can violate it, so you can rest assured."
Chen Lin turned his hand and took out a black scroll, handing it to Jiang Shi.
"To sign a contract with your Divine Spirit Ancestor?"
Jiang Shi frowned but took the scroll, carefully unfolding and examining it.
After all, the counterpart was a Divine Spirit; it was hard to guarantee that nothing was altered secretly on it.
"There’s no problem, it can be signed."
Suddenly, an ancient and obscure voice echoed directly in Jiang Shi’s mind.
Jiang Shi’s eyes flashed as he instantly caught where the voice came from, his Spiritual Power swiftly turning inward to observe.
"Senior, you’ve awakened."
Jiang Shi transmitted his thoughts, feeling somewhat excited inside.
The Celestial Demon’s Right Hand!
It was actually the Celestial Demon’s Right Hand guiding him again!
"Yes, but unfortunately, I am only a remnant soul, without much power, unable to assist you much."
The aged voice emanated again from the dark, mist-shrouded hand.
"You’re too modest, Senior. For me, your knowledge and insights surpass anything in the world."
Jiang Shi quickly responded.
What he said was true. The Celestial Demon’s Right Hand had unique insights, often able to see through issues at a glance.
