"Ye Lingtian, not only do I believe that you won't kill me, but I'm also certain that you'll protect me in the future. Save your energy for now. Do you think that threatening me is of any use?" Ye Xuan said coldly.
Boom!
The Lord of All Spirits narrowed his eyes. His aura instantly dispersed, and he calmed down once more. It was as if he was turning a blind eye to Ye Xuan calling him by his name.
If an outsider were to see this scene, their jaws would probably fall off in shock.
After all, how could one directly call out the name of an eternal powerhouse? This was disrespectful to them. If it were anyone else, they would have died long ago. How could they still have a proper conversation with an eternal powerhouse?
"Speak. Where is the forbidden person? What's your relationship with him?"
The Lord of All Spirits' eyes were cold. He had been observing Ye Xuan the entire time, and he had even used his senses to sense the entire Ten Thousand Spirit Palace, wanting to find traces of the Ancient Shadow.
Fear, fear to the extreme!
Although Ye Xuan's appearance delighted the Lord of All Spirits, he was more afraid. Naturally, he was not afraid of Ye Xuan, but of the forbidden person that even the ten eternal powerhouses could not defeat.
Back then, Ye Xuan had been taken away by this forbidden person, but now, Ye Xuan was standing in front of him in perfect condition. The Lord of All Spirits did not believe that Ye Xuan had nothing to do with this forbidden person.
Looking at the Lord of All Spirits' cold face, Ye Xuan's expression did not change, but he was secretly relieved. He knew that his guess had come true.
This was Ye Xuan's strategy. It was also why he dared to come to the Ten Thousand Spirit Palace alone to see Ye Xuan.
As long as the Ancient Shadow was still in this world, the ten eternal powerhouses would have to fear him. He could borrow the Ancient Shadow's power to survive in the cracks.
Borrowing the power of others was also a method of survival. Ye Xuan had used it many times before. When he wasn't strong enough to compete with the strongest of the ancient times, he had to borrow the power of others to protect himself. Then, he had to increase his cultivation speed and catch up to the strongest of the ancient times.
Clearly, Ye Xuan's first step had succeeded. The Lord of All Spirits was afraid of the Ancient Shadow's existence, which was why he had the opportunity to talk to Ye Xuan.
"He told me to tell you that the Chaotic Universe is very, very big. The so-called eternal powerhouses are just chess pieces, and I am the key to this game."
Ye Xuan did not say too much. He did not mention that the Ancient Shadow would come to seek justice for him if the ten eternal powerhouses attacked.
It was because such words were far too childish. Only ambiguous words could cause these utmost powerful beings to feel fear, allowing him to survive in the face of the utmost powerful beings' threats.
Sure enough, the Lord of All Spirits held his breath. He took a deep look at Ye Xuan before gradually calming down. However, only the Lord of All Spirits knew what he was thinking.
"Then you didn't come to me just because this forbidden character asked you to pass on his message, did you?" the Lord of All Spirits said in a deep voice.
"Of course not. I just want to reach an agreement with you," Ye Xuan said calmly.
"What agreement? Do you have the right to negotiate with me? "the Lord of All Spirits sneered.
Ye Xuan was not angered by the Lord of All Spirits' disdain. Instead, he said calmly, "I may not have the right to negotiate with you now, but I should have the right in the future, right?"
"You …?"
The expression of the Lord of All Spirits abruptly changed as his eyes instantly turned ice-cold. This was because when Ye Xuan mentioned the word "future," it had already touched his greatest weakness.
"I once heard the Lord of Time and Space say that on the day you had yet to achieve your Dao, someone defeated you. This is also the shame of your life," Ye Xuan said.
"What are you trying to say?"
The Lord of All Spirits was like a frozen river. The temperature of the entire Celestial Palace of All Spirits plummeted. Clearly, his emotions had been ignited by Ye Xuan.
This was because the Lord of All Spirits had never been defeated in his life. Only when he was about to achieve his Dao did he lose to that person. This was his greatest shame, and it had always been a sore point in his heart.
"You want to wipe away your shame and fight him, but he's not a person of this space-time. He's a person born of an illusory space-time from the future. You won't be able to see him for the rest of your life."
"And the agreement between us is very simple. In the future, I will fight you and give you a chance to wipe away your shame. However, before I become a supreme expert, I need you to protect me and help me resist the murderous intentions of other supreme experts," Ye Xuan said in a low voice.
"Hahaha."
The Lord of All Spirits laughed aloud. However, his laughter was very, very cold. He then gloomily looked at Ye Xuan and said, "What a good plan. What a good plan. According to what you said, not only can I not attack you, but I also have to protect you and even make an enemy out of other supreme experts?"
Although the Lord of All Spirits' emotions had been ignited by Ye Xuan, he was no fool. With just a little thought, he saw through Ye Xuan's scheme.
"That's right. If you think so, that's fine too." Ye Xuan very generously admitted it. This was his plan.
"Why should I help you?" The Lord of All Spirits sneered.
"Why should I?"
Ye Xuan smiled and leisurely paced around the Celestial Palace of All Spirits. After a dozen breaths of time, Ye Xuan looked back at the Lord of All Spirits.
"It's very simple. Because if I die, you won't be able to wash away the shame of your defeat back then. Even if I survive, if I fall into the hands of other supreme experts, you will lose the chance to open the Gate of Reincarnation."
"Are these two reasons enough?" Ye Xuan said indifferently.
Silence! Silence. A deathly silence!
The entire Celestial Palace of All Spirits fell silent. Even the surrounding spiritual light quietly dissipated.
"Interesting. Very interesting!"
Suddenly, the Lord of All Spirits broke the silence and gradually calmed down.
"Ye Xuan, you're very smart. Even if I know that this is your scheme, I don't think I have any reason to refuse," the Lord of All Spirits said.
"I've always believed in one sentence. Everyone has a weakness. Even if you're an ancient supreme expert, you can't escape from the category of being human," Ye Xuan said calmly.
"Alright, I agree to your conditions. If any supreme expert attacks you, I won't sit back and do nothing. But you must remember our agreement. When you transform into a supreme expert, you and I will fight to the death. And when the twelve months come to an end, you must also help me open the Gate of Reincarnation," the Lord of All Spirits said in a deep voice.
"Alright, let's make an oath."
Ye Xuan stretched out his palm and looked at the Lord of All Spirits. The Lord of All Spirits also stretched out his palm. The two of them clapped and reached an agreement.
"This is my jade tablet. As long as you say my name, even if we're millions of miles apart, I'll appear before you."
The Lord of All Spirits took out a jade tablet and casually tossed it to Ye Xuan. He then continued, "But I must remind you that I'll only appear if the supreme experts plot against you. As for those ants below the supreme level, I won't care if you die at their hands. This only means that you don't have any potential and won't be a match for me in the future."
"Moreover, the supreme orthodoxy I've created will still have supreme seeds fighting against you. If you're killed by them, that's your fate."
"Of course." Ye Xuan received the jade token, and the corner of his mouth curled into a strange smile.
"You may leave now," the Lord of All Spirits said.
"Farewell!"
Ye Xuan didn't waste any time and turned to leave the palace.
Looking at Ye Xuan's departing figure, the Lord of All Spirits' eyes deepened and he let out a long sigh. No one knew what he was thinking.
