Chapter 407: Departure (I)
The object, neither talisman nor seal, flipped and hovered slightly before condensing into a small bluish-gray orb that emitted flashes of mana light. It was easy to tell at first glance that it was no mundane artifact; it was the very treasure Li Yuanjiao remembered his family had discovered in a cave dwelling.
"I see… This was that person's last resort."
Chi Buzi recognized it instantly. After observing it briefly, he took a moment to chastise himself for his earlier greed. Who would have guessed that the Supreme Yin Moonlight was a lure set by that old schemer?
Suppressing his greed, Chi Buzi thought to himself, This old thing is probably an ancient monster by now… I shouldn't rush things and coax out his secrets first. Maybe within them lies my opportunity to form a core and acquire my own essence!
The shamanic spell was still rooted deep within his soul, yet Chi Buzi felt no fear as he focused on the talisman qi.
It's a mere shamanic spell… In eighty-three years, when the True Monarch emerges from his seclusion, this spell can be dispelled easily. But securing that ancient relic is truly a treasure, I must secure it before meeting the True Monarch!
While he contemplated his next move, the Water Mansion Immortal Official suddenly grew vigilant and snapped, "What concern is it of yours? This is the legacy of the immortal position bestowed by the Immortal Court! It's mine alone to claim… Don't even think about it!"
However, Chi Buzi was not really listening to him. He was fixated on the promise hidden within his words—A legacy of an immortal position! A chance at the Dao Embryo!
Breathing heavily, Chi Buzi's thoughts raced with possibilities.
