Jianchen's breathing suddenly stopped when he heard the Darkstar Emperor's final words. Even his heart rapidly contracted before beating at an unprecedented rate.
"What promise?" Jianchen immediately blurted out. He was unable to hide his excitement.
At that moment, he no longer cared about the Darkstar Emperor seeing through his desire for the essence blood of Grand Exalts because he was unable to conceal his excitement.
The ten droplets of essence blood could undo the seal on the Primeval Divine Hall and free it so that it could roam freely in the world.
Moreover, he had reached an agreement with the Artifact Spirit of the Primeval Divine Hall in the past. Once he freed the Primeval Divine Hall, the Primeval Divine Hall would recognise him as its master and be under his control.
This was a peak god artifact on the same level as the Anatta Tower, the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, and the Azulet swords. They were all treasures of Grand Exalts in the past, so their rarity and value went without saying.
Most importantly, the Primeval Divine Hall was an undamaged peak god artifact, unlike the Anatta Tower, the Azulet swords, and the Tower of Radiance of the Radiant Saint Hall. They had all suffered unimaginable damage in the past, preventing them from unleashing their former might.
Once he obtained the Primeval Divine Hall, he would be able to unleash many of its wondrous uses effortlessly through the assistance of the Artifact Spirit.
Even though he was nowhere close to being able to unleash all of the Primeval Divine Hall's power with his current strength, even a hundredth of its power was not to be underestimated.
As a result, the ten droplets of essence blood of Grand Exalts held far too much significance to Jianchen.
"Emperor, I need your promise. Once you possess the ability to free our race, you must do everything you can to help us break free. Moreover, when our race encounters danger in the future, you must do everything you can to help us survive. " The Darkstar Emperor's gaze became extremely sharp, as if he wanted to see through Jianchen's eyes and into the depths of his heart. He said firmly, "There is no time limit to this promise. It will take effect the moment we give you the ten droplets of essence blood. As long as you're still alive, you must keep this promise."
"Are you that confident in me? Are you so sure that I will grow to be able to help your clan one day? Jianchen's eyes flickered. He did not let the benefits go to his head. He weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
"To be able to reach such astonishing heights at such a young age, your future achievements are bound to be limitless. Therefore, the Emperor is willing to place this bet on you. Although this bet is risky, you're the only person who has the right to make us bet so heavily over all these years. " The Darkstar Emperor had a solemn look on his face. Clearly, he had struggled internally before making this decision.
"Alright, I can promise you that once I have the ability in the future, I will definitely do everything I can to help your clan break free. At the same time, if your clan encounters any life-threatening dangers in the Saints' World in the future, I will do everything I can to help you survive. However, there has to be a condition, which is that everything has to be within my abilities. I won't throw away my life for nothing for ten droplets of essence blood, "Jianchen said.
"Alright, that's no problem. However, you have to swear on your ways …"
Jianchen and the Darkstar Emperor reached an agreement very soon. During that time, the hall masters and vice-hall masters of the ten divine halls also stood forward to raise objections, but they were all forcefully suppressed by the Darkstar Emperor.
The Darkstar Emperor was a supreme existence in the Darkstar clan. If he insisted on doing what he wanted, no one could stop him, even if he had lost his body.
Afterwards, Jianchen immediately swore on his ways solemnly, "When can you give me the ten droplets of essence blood from Grand Exalts?"
"The essence blood of Grand Exalts is stored in the altar. If you want to take it out, you need to reopen the altar. And reopening the altar requires the power of the thirty-six cities, "the Darkstar Emperor said slowly. He glanced at Jianchen deeply and continued, "You've already destroyed twenty-five of the thirty-six cities. Only eleven cities remain intact. These eleven cities are nowhere near enough to reopen the altar."
"Apart from the thirty-six main cities, our race has many towns and villages of various sizes. We can deploy people from the towns and villages to the thirty-six main cities. However, the clansmen who are active in the towns and villages are a level weaker than the thirty-six main cities. They don't meet the requirements. "
Jianchen frowned, "In other words, I can't take out the essence blood of Grand Exalts?"
"It's not that we can't take it out, but we need your assistance. Our race has high quality Divine King Grass. With our race's abilities, we can't refine the Divine King Grass into pills, but you cultivators of the outside world can. If you can refine the Divine King Grass into pills and provide them to our race, it'll be able to quickly replenish the strength of the thirty-six cities. Once the thirty-six cities have recovered their vitality, opening the altar won't be difficult, "said the Darkstar Emperor.
"Then I'll need all of the high quality Divine King Grass." Jianchen sighed inside. He had personally witnessed how the Darkstar race had opened the altar, so he knew that the Darkstar Emperor was telling the truth. Opening the altar did require the power of the thirty-six cities.
In the end, Jianchen reached a compromise with the Darkstar race through a series of negotiations. Both sides stopped fighting, and Jianchen headed to the royal capital of the Darkstar race. He was prepared to receive the various resources of the Darkstar race.
At the same time, a figure carefully concealed his presence in the depths of Two World Mountain as he rapidly moved through the misty forest.
His clothes were in tatters, and he was covered in wounds. He was covered in blood, clearly quite heavily injured.
This figure was the Holy Son of the Five Point sect, one of the peak sects on the Star Brilliance Plane. He was the Holy Son Wu Hua!
At this moment, the Holy Son Wu Hua was traversing Two World Mountain.
Traversing Two World Mountain was an almost impossible task for all cultivators from the outside world. It was a challenge of life and death. Even those with extraordinary battle prowess would basically die if they tried to traverse Two World Mountain alone.
The Holy Son Wu Hua's battle prowess could not be said to be extraordinary, but his combination of the Laws of Space and the Laws of Time allowed him to unleash various mysteries. In the end, he possessed extraordinary life-saving abilities within Two World Mountain despite not being extraordinary in battle prowess.
The Holy Son Wu Hua's face had already become pale, and he looked haggard. He held a supreme grade divine crystal in his hand, absorbing its energy to recover as he hurried along.
Behind him, beastly roars rang out. Many Life Sucking Beasts were pursuing him, and almost all of them were at the Divine King level.
The Holy Son Wu Hua did not dare to stop at all. Even though he was already exhausted, he could only bite the tip of his tongue and force himself to flee at full speed.
His tongue had already been bitten to a bloody pulp.
