Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Although Qingyun True Monarch didn’t understand, he still urged Qi Chuan to be careful.

Qi Chuan then left the Myriad Flowers Hall and returned to his Tier Four Cave Mansion to make some preparations.

What he hadn’t told Qingyun True Monarch was that the reason he found the news about Great True Monarch Qing Gang credible wasn’t because he truly trusted him.

But because of his own strength.

With a Nascent Soul of eight inches and seven, and numerous formidable techniques, if Great True Monarch Qing Gang had no ill intentions, then he could naturally cooperate with him.

And if the other party had any ulterior motives, then Qi Chuan wouldn’t mind cutting him down.

Having strength brings such confidence.

The next day, Qi Chuan left the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect and headed towards the Chaotic Demon Sea.

The reason for the promptness was that they were waiting for Qi Chuan over there.

After all, it was the fortuitous encounter of a former generation’s Cave Mansion, and if delayed for too long, it risked being discovered by others, creating unforeseen turning points.

Chaotic Demon Sea, Gangyuan Island.

This is the main island of the Cyan Gang Sect, and it is quite extensive.

When Qi Chuan arrived on Gangyuan Island, he casually glanced around before heading straight for the Gangfeng Mountain Range, where the Cyan Gang Sect’s main sect was located.

At the Cyan Gang Sect’s mountain gate, an Early Stage Nascent Soul Supreme Elder specifically brought along several disciples on duty to wait outside.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a subtle sound of something cutting through the air arose.

Subsequently, within the plaza at the mountain gate, a youthful figure with a refined appearance and an extraordinary aura emerged.

From his body, there was no emanation of a Great True Monarch’s aura; instead, it was quite restrained, reminiscent of an ordinary person.

However, when the Early Stage Nascent Soul Supreme Elder’s gaze fell upon the refined youth’s face, his expression changed immediately. He quickly stepped forward to pay his respects and said, "Liang Yun of Cyan Gang Sect, pays respect to Great True Monarch Qi Chuan. Our First Supreme Elder is currently in the Cave Mansion. Great True Monarch Qi Chuan, you may enter the main hall of our sect to have a seat and wait."

As he spoke, the disciples on duty had already retreated to either side, revealing the wide-open passage of the mountain gate.

"Alright."

Qi Chuan nodded, glanced at Liang Yun and those disciples on duty, and without delay, walked straight into the passage of the mountain gate.

Under Liang Yun’s guidance, Qi Chuan entered directly into the main hall of the Cyan Gang Sect, sat down, and began waiting.

Swoosh!

Just after sitting down, the sound of something cutting through the air rang out outside the main hall.

Qi Chuan looked up and saw a youthful figure emerge outside the hall doors as the light dissipated.

This youth had a tall, slender build, wore a white high-tier magic robe, had a face with distinct features and a very masculine aura, and an indistinctly transmitted spiritual pressure of a Great True Monarch level, with a profound Nascent Soul foundation.

This was the First Supreme Elder of the Cyan Gang Sect, Great True Monarch Qing Gang.

This Great True Monarch Qing Gang was also in the prime of his life, unafraid even when facing some veteran Great True Monarchs.

He was indeed a powerhouse.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Qi Chuan, I’ve kept you waiting for too long!"

Great True Monarch Qing Gang laughed heartily and then stepped into the hall.

Upon entering the hall, Great True Monarch Qing Gang glanced up at the hall, letting his gaze fall upon Qi Chuan’s face, sparing no praise, "Fellow Daoist Qi Chuan, you surely are a man of great talents, with an uncommon demeanor. Some time not seen, you seem even better than before."

The Cyan Gang Sect and Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect were on good terms.

Therefore, Qi Chuan had seen Great True Monarch Qing Gang once or twice before; this wasn’t their first meeting.

However, those were merely ordinary interactions.

"Great True Monarch Qing Gang is too kind," Qi Chuan, knowing the character of Great True Monarch Qing Gang, shook his head and said.

Great True Monarch Qing Gang came up to the main hall and sat at the main seat, looking curiously at Qi Chuan, "By the way, Fellow Daoist Qi Chuan, what level has your Nascent Soul reached now?"

"It should soon be nine inches, with such strength, should be enough to participate in the exploration of the Cave Mansion you discovered, right?"

Qi Chuan smiled nonchalantly and said to Great True Monarch Qing Gang.

"Ah? Haha... Fellow Daoist Qi Chuan, you really know how to joke..." Great True Monarch Qing Gang was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, but he quickly realized Qi Chuan was joking, and thus laughed heartily.

"With Fellow Daoist Qi Chuan’s strength, it is naturally enough to participate in the exploration of that Cave Mansion."

Great True Monarch Qing Gang said sincerely.

Inside, he never underestimated Qi Chuan.

Though he hadn’t witnessed Qi Chuan in action himself, he had heard various rumors.

As he understood, being a newly advanced Great True Monarch, Qi Chuan’s strength was not weak, and he never considered Qi Chuan just another ordinary newly advanced Great True Monarch.

"Fellow Daoist Qing Gang, can you tell me about that Cave Mansion now?" Qi Chuan asked, his gaze directed at Great True Monarch Qing Gang.

In his view, the Cave Mansion must not be simple.

Otherwise, even with the issues stated in the Jade Slip, Great True Monarch Qing Gang wouldn’t have so easily shared the Cave Mansion with him.

One must know that inviting someone to explore a Cave Mansion usually involves a fifty-fifty split.

Meaning, upon development, half of the fortuitous moments inside the Cave Mansion would go to Qi Chuan.

So there might be some issues not mentioned in the Jade Slip.

"Alright."

Hearing this, Great True Monarch Qing Gang nodded, knowing that Qi Chuan had likely guessed there might be issues.

And now, there was no need to hide anything, as he indeed needed Qi Chuan’s help.

"Actually, the location of the Cave Mansion is quite close to the Yin Bone Sect. Although not in the Yin Bone Sect’s territory, it’s under the influence zone of the Yin Bone Sect due to the close distance. So, once we fully break the Cave Mansion’s seal, it may attract the attention of the Yin Bone Sect..."

Great True Monarch Qing Gang explained the relevant information about the Cave Mansion in detail.

After Qi Chuan listened to the information, he understood the situation.

To his knowledge, the Yin Bone Sect was also a peak strong sect stationed with a Great True Monarch in the Chaotic Demon Sea.

The strength of the Yin Bone Sect was even greater than that of the Cyan Gang Sect.

And the First Supreme Elder of the Yin Bone Sect, Great True Monarch Yin Bone, was a veteran Great True Monarch, his Nascent Soul height and depth, both extremely strong.

Although Great True Monarch Qing Gang himself possessed considerable strength, he still harbored some reservations when facing Yin Bone.

Especially in a normal frontal encounter, he wouldn’t fear Great True Monarch Yin Bone.

But now, with a Great True Monarch level opportunity at stake, there’s no guarantee that Yin Bone won’t make a move, thus vigilance was necessary.

At this point, to have a somewhat foolproof strategy, it was necessary to invite an ally.

Relying solely on Great True Monarch Qing Gang could lead to unforeseen mishaps.

However, with the assistance of another Great True Monarch, the situation would be much more stable.

At that time, even though Yin Bone Great True Monarch’s strength was strong, facing the combined force of two Great True Monarchs would render him powerless.

"I have finished speaking, Fellow Daoist Qi Chuan, would you dare to undertake this matter?"

"If you have any concerns, Fellow Daoist Qi Chuan, you may still leave, and I wouldn’t mind."

After finishing, Great True Monarch Qing Gang looked directly at Qi Chuan, speaking slowly.

Generally speaking, with such cooperation, once the general location of the Cave Mansion is disclosed, refusing the collaboration might anger the proposer.

However, Great True Monarch Qing Gang truly didn’t care much internally.

If Qi Chuan refused, he wouldn’t say much more, would let Qi Chuan leave freely, and wouldn’t cause any trouble.

Yet internally, he might slightly look down on Qi Chuan.

After all, normally, no Great True Monarch would hesitate too much in face of such an opportunity. Despite Yin Bone Great True Monarch’s strength, he was but one person.

Upon hearing Great True Monarch Qing Gang’s words, Qi Chuan raised his eyes, giving the former a calm glance.

He leisurely began, "Great True Monarch Qing Gang, there’s no need to use reverse psychology."

"I am not afraid of Great True Monarch Yin Bone."

"With regard to this matter, I agree to assist you."
