Upon hearing Jiang Wang's "reasonable request", the old shaman almost couldn't catch his breath.
Fortunately, he didn't send Jiang Wang flying with a slap. He only said, "I don't have that."
Jiang Wang blinked. "It's fine if it can increase my lifespan by twenty years."
The old woman sized up Jiang Wang and seemed to have discovered something. "No wonder you're so anxious about this. It turns out that your lifespan is limited."
As the leader of the "Sacred Race", she chose to "negotiate" with Jiang Wang alone not because she liked Jiang Wang.
Instead, it was because of two reasons. First, Jiang Wang was the strongest of the three emissaries and had the most authority. Second, from her judgment of people, Jiang Wang had principles, bottom lines, and propriety. He wasn't someone who would ask for too much.
Her judgment wasn't wrong.
However, Jiang Wang, who had come to the Seven Star Pavilion's secret realm, had already thrown caution to the wind in order to make up for his regrets.
He had abandoned the intense situation in Linzi and came to the Seven Star Pavilion alone. His goal was very clear, and that was to reap some benefits. Otherwise, Chung Geng Sheng would have chosen to take on Wang Yiwu alone, and this risk would have been in vain.
The old shaman weighed the pros and cons for a while before saying, "Compared to you, the Sacred Race has a long lifespan. If you consider accepting the Dragon God's baptism and becoming a member of the Sacred Race. With your talent, it won't be a problem to increase your lifespan to a thousand years. How about it? After you kill Yan Xiao, I can personally host the ceremony for you. "
Of course, this was an irresistible temptation.
In the Modern Realm, even Divine Advent Realm experts who had broken through the lifespan of mortals were limited to five hundred and eighteen years. As long as one joined the Sacred Race, their lifespan would be increased to a thousand years, and they would live even longer than Divine Advent Realm experts!
However, there were always gains and losses in everything.
The Forest Ocean Sacred Race had such a long lifespan, so what did they lose?
Jiang Wang calmly asked, "If I join the Sacred Race, can I still leave the Forest Ocean Origin Realm?"
The old shaman shook his head regretfully. "The Sacred Race dedicates our entire lives to the Dragon God. We believe in him, serve him, and die here."
"That won't be my choice," Jiang Wang said without hesitation.
Family and friends, love and hate, career and future, everything was in the modern world, a place that he had measured with his feet.
If he wanted to spend the rest of his life in the Forest Ocean Origin World, then what was the point of living for a thousand years?
However, in terms of lifespan. Even though the Senhai "Sacred Race" was the human race, their origins were different. In terms of lifespan alone, it wasn't wrong to call them the 'Sacred Clan'. No wonder they were so arrogant. They had the right to be arrogant.
However, although the Sacred Clan had a long lifespan, their flaws were also very obvious. He couldn't leave the Forest Ocean Origin Realm or break free from the divine favor. These weren't the only flaws, but just these two points alone were enough for Jiang Wang to reject.
Moreover, judging from the Sacred Warriors he had met so far, whether it was Seven Tree, Eight Branches, or Nine Leaf, they were all at least one or two hundred years old. However, not a single one of them could make Jiang Wang feel like he could not defeat them. It might not be because their talents were inferior. It might have something to do with the way they grew up.
The old priestess had obviously expected Jiang Wang's response. She sighed. "Then there's nothing I can do. If you're so obsessed with a longevity treasure, then the only thing I can give you is information on where to find it. Moreover, I can't be sure if this information is still reliable, and that place isn't in the Forest Ocean Origin World. I can only guarantee the authenticity of this information. You can swear a divine oath in front of the altar. "
These words were rather interesting.
Jiang Wang frowned. "Isn't that the same as not having any?"
"You can't say that, young man." The old priestess had a benevolent expression on her face. "Based on what I know, there really isn't any longevity treasure in the Forest Ocean Origin World. In other words, if you're only here for a longevity treasure, you won't be able to obtain anything. Even if you spend your entire life flipping the entire Forest Ocean Origin World upside down, you still might not be able to find anything. But now, I can give you a piece of information, a piece of hope. To a young man, making a choice is more important than working hard. If you work hard in the wrong direction, you'll often end up in the opposite direction. What you've obtained now is the correct direction. Isn't it important? "
That makes a lot of sense!
Jiang Wang was getting a little dizzy from her nagging, but he still agreed in the end after some thought.
Even if this was a far cry from the conditions he had originally proposed...
If he wanted to leave the Forest Ocean Origin World, he couldn't avoid Yan Xiao. This was the case regardless of whether the Sacred Race offered him any benefits. At the very least, he still had a piece of information, right?
Perhaps there were other methods, such as searching for the other humans who had been lost in various parts of the Forest Ocean Origin World and seeing if there were any other "gods" who could send them away.
It was very likely that they had already gone extinct, just as the Sacred Race had speculated. If they really were extinct, then Yan Xiao was their only choice.
But even if they weren't, the process might not be that simple. The difficulty of passing through the Land of Hidden Snakes was still fresh in his mind. Who knew if there was anything more terrifying than Yan Xiao in the Forest Ocean Origin World?
In any case, Yan Xiao was a thorn in the side of the Sacred Race, and he couldn't be reborn unless he was eliminated. To Jiang Wang and the others, Yan Xiao was a tiger that stood in their way, and they couldn't go home without killing him.
Jiang Wang and the others wanted some benefits. Even if they didn't have any, they didn't necessarily want to gain much. Even if they didn't, Yan Xiao couldn't just ignore them.
It was precisely because of this consensus that the two sides had a basis for "negotiation".
"Apart from that, we also want a powerful cultivation technique unique to the Sacred Race." Jiang Wang was very responsible and confidently began the next negotiation. "As the saying goes, 'Sharpening one's spear at the last moment of battle', even if it's not fast, it's still bright. 'This will be extremely beneficial to us in eliminating Yan Xiao."
The old priestess nodded. "You're right."
"However …" she advised earnestly. "The Sacred Race's supernatural powers rely on the blessing of the gods. Unless you accept the Dragon God's baptism, you won't be able to learn it. Is the one you want the cultivation technique from, willing to join the Sacred Race? If not … rather than fishing for the moon in the water, why not turn around and pluck the flower instead … "
… …
Jiang Wang had already exhausted his entire life's worth of negotiation techniques, and his words were eloquent. He believed that he had outperformed himself. The old priestess, on the other hand, was neither hot nor cold. She guided him patiently and patiently, and she appeared to be kind and amiable.
At the end of this "negotiation", Jiang Wang's eyes were blank, while the old priestess was full of vigor.
Jiang Wang grasped the "results" and felt that he had indeed gained something. He hadn't wasted his breath.
But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that he hadn't gained anything either …
Jiang Wang's demands: A peerless divine art, a treasure map with all of the treasures in the Forest Ocean Origin Realm, and a natural treasure that could increase one's lifespan by one hundred years.
The results of the "negotiation": A martial technique commonly used by the Sacred Race, a map of the Sacred Race's exploration of the Forest Ocean Origin Realm, and a piece of information that recorded the location of a lifespan increasing treasure that wasn't even in the Forest Ocean Origin Realm.
… …
Within Jiang Wang's fruit hut. The three "Dragon God Envoys" sat across from each other.
"Ahem." Jiang Wang coughed awkwardly. "Everyone, take a look and see if you're satisfied."
"Help me take a look," Wu Quji said. "Is there any way to interpret this peerless divine art that I don't know? It looks like a tree-climbing technique. "
This martial technique allowed the cultivator to adapt to the Forest Ocean environment and fight freely in the trees … Although it was a bit excessive to call it a tree-climbing technique, it wasn't unreasonable.
Su Qi shot a "resentful" glance at Jiang Wang. "A treasure map turned into a map …"
It was hard for him to say that Jiang Wang hadn't worked hard enough. After all, it seemed like the most useful thing that the three of them had obtained was that map.
Jiang Wang couldn't bring himself to respond. He covered his face and said, "I tried my best."
The priestess had used a special technique to imprint the information regarding the lifespan increasing treasure onto his arm, and it would only take effect after they left the Forest Ocean Origin Realm.
It seemed like a pretty high-class item, but...
Whether or not they could leave the Forest Ocean Origin Realm was another matter altogether!
