Chapter 196: The Invitation
When Qin Sang posed his question, Yu Dayue hesitated briefly before responding, "To be honest, Junior Brother Qin, this will also be my first time entering the Ancient Immortal Battlefield, so I can’t make any solid plans. But I came here seeking opportunities and won’t stay holed up in the city indefinitely; being a guard just isn’t an option. If you’re considering something similar, Junior Brother, why not join forces with me?"
Receiving Yu Dayue's invitation, Qin Sang didn’t respond immediately, instead contemplating it quietly.
Their venture into the cave had indeed built a level of trust between him and Yu Dayue, making him a decent companion to travel with.
However, Yu Dayue was desperately seeking an opportunity for a breakthrough; his age was nearing the limit, and unless he advanced to the middle stage of Foundation Building soon, he would have no hope of reaching the Core Formation Realm. This journey was one of sheer determination, his final gamble.
The outer reaches of the Ancient Immortal Battlefield might not offer what he sought, so he would undoubtedly venture into dangerous, hidden realms in search of medicinal pills and treasures.
If Qin Sang accompanied him, he too would be swept into these dangers.
Qin Sang, on the other hand, had only recently broken through to the Foundation Building realm. He was still young. He had nearly 160 years left out of the 200-year life span for Foundation Establishment cultivators, meaning that he had at least thirty or forty years to focus on early-stage Foundation Building without feeling pressed by time.
Of course, this didn’t mean he would slack off.
The faster one advanced, the better; the sooner he reached the late stage of the Foundation Building Realm, the more time he’d have to attempt Core Formation, increasing his odds of success.
