The figure of the spirit turtle hovered above the Myriad Poison Ancestor's head, no longer pressing down. However, it continued to shine.
Li Qingshan definitely did not believe the Myriad Poison Ancestor did not have the determination to fight to the death. Most importantly, the spirit turtle's suppression could not be completed in a single moment. It was enough for him to consider.
If the soul nascence exploded in his sea of consciousness, he would definitely be smashed to pieces. No matter how tough his body was, no matter how startling his regenerative powers were, he would not be able to escape death.
Li Qingshan could not help but sigh. This Myriad Poison Ancestor sure was difficult to deal with. He had succeeded in launching a sneak attack while he was off-guard, and then he made the asura assassin Yin Qing keep him busy while he hunted him down. In this battle, Little Ann had basically lost his battle prowess. Yin Qing was heavily injured and on the brink of death, yet he had almost managed to escape. He had finally broken through after so much difficulty and thought he could finally kill him, but he still ended up in a stalemate in the end.
"Hurry up and stow this turtle away, or I'll take you down with me!" The Myriad Poison Ancestor's soul nascence clenched its fist, filled with viciousness and determination.
Li Qingshan did not stow the spirit turtle away. Instead, he smiled. "Myriad Poison, you've cultivated arduously for a thousand years, and you've only undergone the third heavenly tribulation after so much difficulty and condensed a soul nascence, yet you keep mentioning taking me down with you at the drop of a hat. Who do you think you're trying to scare?"
Even though he was not bold enough to force the Myriad Poison Ancestor into dire straits, he was underestimating Li Qingshan's courage if he thought he could do whatever he wanted just because he said he would take him down with him. He believed that as long as the Myriad Poison Ancestor had a sliver of hope, he would not choose such a terrible plan.
If it was an ordinary cultivator who had fallen to this state, they might have thrown caution to the wind in despair. But a great cultivator, although they had the same emotions as mortals and would be affected by emotions, they would not lose their rationality in the most fundamental aspect of their temperament.
"Hehe, I've already lived enough. You're in the prime of your life, yet you're already capable of something like this at such a young age. Even the princes of the Dragon province can't match you. My life hasn't been lived in vain if an old coot with no future like me can end a genius like you."
The Myriad Poison Ancestor was in dire straits, but he instead recovered some of his bearing and said slowly.
"You're flattering me. I'm just a young kid, how can I be compared to you …"
The two of them spoke one after another. One said that the other had a profound cultivation and that it was not easy to cultivate; the other praised the other for his talent and boundless future. If others were to hear this, they would think that they were courting each other!
At this time, whoever cherished his own life more would be under the control of others.
"I've heard that soul nascence is extremely profound. As long as you find a suitable body, it won't affect your cultivation apart from wasting some time!" Li Qingshan gave the Myriad Poison Ancestor some hope.
"Alas, this old man has failed miserably and fallen into a hopeless situation. How can I dare to think about the future? I might as well give up!" The Myriad Poison Ancestor sighed, and his soul nascence suddenly began to tremble. A terrifying power that could destroy everything was about to be unleashed.
"What do you want?"
Li Qingshan asked calmly. He arrived high up in the atmospheric winds and flapped his wings of wind, flying in the direction of Savage mountain. Then he tossed the two sumeru rings into the Watermirror's Image, teleporting them to his clone in the marsh of Cloud Dream.
These were his and the Myriad Poison Ancestor's sumeru rings respectively. He prepared for the worst-case scenario as he racked his brain to come up with a plan.
If the daemon core escaped far enough away, then even if the Myriad Poison Ancestor blew up his soul nascence, he could maintain a ray of light and be reborn. This could be regarded as his final trump card.
However, once the daemon core left, his strength would weaken drastically, and he would immediately lose control over the Myriad Poison Ancestor's soul nascence, giving him the opportunity to escape instead. As a result, he needed to use the Watermirror's Image to teleport the daemon core to his clone the moment the Myriad Poison Ancestor blew himself up.
This timing was far too difficult to grasp. If he escaped too early, the Myriad Poison Ancestor would stop blowing himself up, but if he escaped too late, the daemon core would be sucked into the explosion. How could he still have the opportunity to undergo rebirth?
Even if he used the spirit turtle's divination abilities to grasp the timing, rebirth would still take him many years to recover. When he turned into a phoenix's embryo, he could not even maintain a basic level of consciousness. It could be described as the worst possible plan.
However, a worst possible plan was still a plan. It was better than having no plan at all. Li Qingshan made up his mind. At most, I'll just risk rebirth again. Who's afraid of who?
"Send me back to the Myriad Poison cult, and we'll mind our own business from here on out." The Myriad Poison Ancestor stated his conditions.
"Heh, you sure can dream on. If I go back to the Myriad Poison cult, you'll probably activate the formations and trap me the moment you emerge!"
Li Qingshan stalled for time as he sped up. As long as he returned to Savage mountain, he could get Little Ann's clever brain to come up with a solution, not to mention the fact that he had the Banyan Tree King, whose wisdom was as deep as the ocean.
"I won't make things difficult for you. There's no need for me to go to the Myriad Poison cult. I just need to be at the edge of the Myriad Poison cult. Remove this turtle and let me sense the outside world, and I'll leave," said the Myriad Poison Ancestor.
Li Qingshan fell silent. Only when the Myriad Poison Ancestor pressed him did he say, "Since you already know my identity, you'll definitely make it public when you get back. If the Dragon King Of The Sea comes knocking, I won't be able to deal with him."
The Myriad Poison Ancestor happened to be planning this. Originally, he planned on feigning ignorance about the matter between the North Moon and the Dragon King Of The Sea, but now that he had been exposed, there was nothing he could do. He answered with a question, "What do you want? Do you really want me to die with you? "As he said that, he assumed a posture like he was about to blow up his soul nascence again.
"If that's what you want, then do as you please. Even the Dragon King Of The Sea couldn't kill me in the past, so you won't be any different!" Li Qingshan said coldly.
"Alright, alright, alright. Then I'll try and see if I can drag you down with me!" said the Myriad Poison Ancestor. All of his accumulated resentment seemed to erupt, making him rather hysterical.
The green light in the core of the soul nascence grew brighter and brighter …
Li Qingshan tensed up and immediately stopped flying. A piece of the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell flew out before him. It was as bright as a mirror, but it reflected the situation in Cloud Dream marsh almost fifty thousand kilometers away. He spat out the daemon core, which stopped on the edge of the mirror.
But a while later, when he saw how Li Qingshan did not respond at all, the soul nascence on the verge of erupting settled down again. The Myriad Poison Ancestor said viciously, "Kid, you sure are something! Just let me stay in your sea of consciousness the entire time. I'd like to see how you cultivate! "
The older people got, the more they cherished their lives. They lacked the bravery and vigor of young people. They had gone through so much to reach their current level of cultivation. Unless they had no other choice, they would never choose the path of mutual destruction no matter what.
And, the fact that Li Qingshan had managed to escape from the Dragon King Of The Sea did indeed make him fearful. If he threw his life on the line, Li Qingshan would be alive and kicking again in a decade or so. That would be a great loss. This kid had far too many tricks up his sleeves.
Though, since he wants to negotiate with me, he's still afraid of me blowing up my soul nascence at the end of the day. Even if he can escape alive, he'll either not have too much confidence, or he'll have to pay an extremely heavy price, or both. Hmph, I refuse to believe you can trap me in your sea of consciousness for the rest of my life. Let's see who can outlast the other.
"You better calm down. Let's come up with a plan that satisfies both sides!"
Li Qingshan could not help but laugh aloud, but he was sweating inside, as even when his soul nascence was about to explode, he still had not grasped the opportunity accurately. All he could do was gamble.
