Chapter 1068: Chapter 14 Who is the Venerable One? (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_2

“I share a connection with your Stone People Clan and came here specifically to take a look.” Lin Yuan did not bring up Cang Weiyang’s affairs but replaced it with the notion of a connection.

“A connection?”

Cang Yulong gazed at Lin Yuan, then bowed his head resolutely and said, “I implore you, senior, to save my Stone People Clan.”

This place is the Nine Profound Secret Realm, the lair of Nine Profound Venerable. For Lin Yuan to silently and effortlessly get in here, even if he wasn’t a Venerable, he wasn’t far off.

As for whether Lin Yuan was associated with Nine Profound Venerable? Cang Yulong had ways to confirm it and had already determined he had no connection to Nine Profound Venerable.

“Save your Stone People Clan?”

Lin Yuan sized up Cang Yulong and said, “Why should I risk becoming a mortal enemy of Nine Profound Venerable just to save your Stone People Clan?”

Upon witnessing Cang Yulong’s predicament, Lin Yuan deduced that the other party and Nine Profound Venerable were already committed to a fatal enmity.

If not for such deep-seated hatred, it would be unnecessary for a dignified Venerable to use such extraordinary means to deal with a mere existence at the Path Splitting Realm.

Indeed.

Cang Weiyang’s legacy had smoothly helped Lin Yuan to transition into the Chaos Void. However, at that time, Cang Weiyang’s condition was for Lin Yuan to accept a disciple from the Stone People Clan.

Anyone from the Stone People Clan would do.

Lin Yuan naturally saw that the reason the Stone People Clan had fallen to such circumstances might very well be due to the Stone Person before him.

If he intended to take a Stone Person as a disciple, he could easily negotiate properly with Nine Profound Venerable. Nine Profound Venerable, who had taken away billions of the Stone People Clan, taking out one for Lin Yuan was entirely feasible.

Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s words, Cang Yulong fell silent.

Exactly.

No matter how profound the connection was, compared to becoming mortal enemies with a Venerable, what significance did it hold?

“Senior, I am willing—I am willing to offer compensation, as long as you save my Stone People Clan.”

Cang Yulong steadied his nerves and immediately spoke.

“Compensation?”

Lin Yuan looked at Cang Yulong, waiting for him to reveal what compensation he had to offer.

Cang Yulong took a deep breath and solemnly said, “The Chaos Tree—I am willing to hand over the Chaos Tree to you, senior, in exchange for saving my Stone People Clan.”

“The Chaos Tree?”

Lin Yuan was slightly surprised.

The Chaos Tree was a consummate twelve-layer mystical treasure.

Lin Yuan had obtained a World Tree within the Demon Jade Space. After it advanced to the twelfth layer, the internal world within his body transformed into an internal universe, and the World Tree began transitioning as well.

Theoretically, the World Tree had the potential to evolve into a Chaos Tree, but it was merely theoretical.

It was akin to how every living being nurtured in the Chaos Void had the potential to become a Chaos Great Saint eventually.

With the passage of time, the more Lin Yuan nurtured the World Tree, the more acutely he realized how incredibly difficult it was for a World Tree to evolve into a Chaos Tree.

The difficulty alone was equivalent to an eleventh-layer existence advancing to a Chaos Great Saint.

In practice, the actual difficulty far exceeded that.

“You possess a Chaos Tree?”

Lin Yuan fixed his gaze on Cang Yulong, his mind clear.

He had been wondering why Nine Profound Venerable, a dignified Chaos Realm existence, would treat a Path Splitting Realm lifeform in such a way.

It turned out to be because of the Chaos Tree.

Any Chaos Venerable would covet the Chaos Tree intensely. Thanks to its ability to stabilize the internal universe, it could help Chaos Venerables quickly ascend to the pinnacle of the Chaos Realm.

“Why don’t you hand over the Chaos Tree to Nine Profound Venerable?”

Lin Yuan inquired.

“That Chaos Tree was stolen from under Nine Profound Venerable’s very nose. If I hand it back to him, survival would still be unlikely.”

“Moreover, besides the Chaos Tree, there’s also an inheritance space. As long as senior is willing to act and save my clan, I will offer both together.”

Cang Yulong spoke softly.

By now, he had already come to understand the adage of “bearing the burden of a coveted treasure.”

Had he been able to hand it over to Nine Profound Venerable and survive, he would have done so long ago.

“The Chaos Tree?”

Lin Yuan’s expression grew pensive. The Chaos Tree was indeed immensely valuable to him. Combined with the thirteenth-layer inheritance “Infinite Void,” it could significantly enhance the capabilities of his internal universe.

The second layer of “Infinite Void”—if he had the Chaos Tree suppressing his internal universe, the difficulty of cultivation would reduce considerably.

“To acquire a Chaos Tree and become mortal enemies with a Venerable?”

Lin Yuan weighed the pros and cons. Undoubtedly, if he decided to save the Stone People Clan, he would inevitably completely enrage Nine Profound Venerable.

“It is doable.”

After contemplating for a while, Lin Yuan made his decision.

In terms of strength, he was now almost on par with ordinary Chaos Venerables. Nine Profound Venerable was only a newly ascended Venerable and was roughly equal to him.

Moreover, Lin Yuan wasn’t a Myriad Manifestations Void Domain expert. After saving the Stone People Clan, he could sever all causal ties and depart far away. For Nine Profound Venerable to locate him again would be exceedingly difficult.

Even if he could locate Lin Yuan, it would likely take tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of years.

By that time, Lin Yuan would already have crossed into the Dominator Realm. Given his current foundation, once he advanced to the Dominator Realm and consolidated his various methods, he wouldn’t need to concern himself with a newly ascended Venerable such as Nine Profound Venerable.

Most importantly, Lin Yuan’s apparent identity was that of a mere peak Path Splitting Realm existence dwelling on the Ancient Ming Chaos Continent.

No matter how thoroughly Nine Profound Venerable investigated, he would only target Chaos Venerable-level experts and would never trace anything back to Lin Yuan.

“Senior, you…”

Within the Sin Abyss, Cang Yulong cautiously looked at Lin Yuan.

Even with the Chaos Tree and the mysterious inheritance space as compensation, Cang Yulong wasn’t certain Lin Yuan would agree.

After all, the enemy was a Venerable.

“I will help you.”

Lin Yuan looked at Cang Yulong and spoke.

“You agree?”

For a moment, Cang Yulong was stunned.

That single statement contained an overwhelming amount of information.

It meant he might finally escape the infinite corrosion of the Sin Abyss. Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
