Chapter 755: Exchanging Half of the Origin for a Token

Standing before the completely destroyed Starfall Sect, Wu Yidao's heart was filled with complex emotions.

Although his relationship with the Forbidden Realm was adversarial, in all fairness, everyone within the Starfall Sect had treated him quite well. Had they not been enemies, Wu Yidao estimated they would have gotten along very harmoniously.

“Rest in peace. I have already avenged you. As for the main culprit, Daoist Wutian, I will surely cut him into a thousand pieces. I'll make him endure pain beyond what the world can bear before sending him down to apologize to you.”

After saying that, Wu Yidao turned and left.

Next, he needed to prepare to charge into Level Twelve. After all, with the current blessing of Daoist Fatian's Forbidden Power, Wu Yidao had ample confidence to reach the Level Twelve realm within a thousand years.

On the other side, within the Realm Lords World—this was the place where the Lord of Forbidden resided, a place that ordinary forbidden beings would never touch.

At this moment, the Lord of Forbidden was in secluded meditation, attempting to break through to the Supreme Heavenly Emperor Realm. Regarding the matter of the Time-Space Tree, the Lord of Forbidden had already instructed his Clone to search for it. After all, even if he went himself, he might not necessarily find it, so he could only leave it to his Clone and fate.

However, before the Lord of Forbidden had been in seclusion for long, he sensed something. His brow furrowed slightly, and in the next second, he spoke: “Come in.”

As the Lord of Forbidden's words fell, a spatial passage appeared in the Realm Lords World in the next second. Immediately after, the figure of Dean Gu Yuan was seen slowly walking out from the spatial passage.

Upon seeing that it was Dean Gu Yuan, the Lord of Forbidden's furrowed brow relaxed, and he asked, “Gu Yuan, have you come to see this Realm Lord for some urgent matter?”

From the Lord of Forbidden's tone, it was clearly not hard to tell that he had a fairly good relationship with Dean Gu Yuan.

Hearing this, Dean Gu Yuan's expression was somewhat hesitant, but he eventually spoke: “Realm Lord, this old man wishes to ask you to protect a Prodigy Disciple of my Gu Yuan Academy.”

Hearing Dean Gu Yuan's words, the Lord of Forbidden's relaxed brow furrowed once more. With just a glance, he knew what Dean Gu Yuan wanted him to do. At the same time, he investigated Holy Son Yifan's Origins. It could be said that if not for the protection and concealment of the Heavenly Emperor Bell, Holy Son Yifan would likely have been exposed already.

After witnessing Holy Son Yifan's talent, the Lord of Forbidden could obviously guess why Dean Gu Yuan wanted him to intervene and protect Holy Son Yifan; it was for fear of him being targeted by Yushou and the others.

After a sigh, the Lord of Forbidden finally spoke: “Gu Yuan, for the sake of our friendship, this Realm Lord can agree to protect Huang Yuan for you. However, this Realm Lord requires half of your Origin power.”

Hearing the Lord of Forbidden's words, Dean Gu Yuan's expression changed slightly, while the Lord of Forbidden continued to speak: “You should know that this Realm Lord is already giving you Face. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to enter and appear here.”

Hearing this, Dean Gu Yuan sighed and finally made up his mind: “In that case, I will have to trouble the Realm Lord.”

With that, Dean Gu Yuan reached out his hand. In an instant, the incredibly terrifying Origin power within Dean Gu Yuan's body surged out. The entire Realm Lords World trembled along with Dean Gu Yuan's actions, but with a wave of the Lord of Forbidden's hand, it returned to tranquility once more.

Before long, nearly half of the Origin power within Dean Gu Yuan's body was stripped away by Dean Gu Yuan himself, condensing into a bead about the size of a thumb.

Because he had cut out half of his own Origin power, Dean Gu Yuan's Face turned incredibly pale, and his aura became extremely weak. Nevertheless, he reached out his hand and sent the Origin power before the Lord of Forbidden.

“Realm Lord, here is half of this old man's Origin power. I ask that the Realm Lord fulfills his promise.”

Dean Gu Yuan looked up at the Lord of Forbidden and spoke.

Hearing this, the Lord of Forbidden nodded, calmly accepting Dean Gu Yuan's Origin power. He then threw a token to Dean Gu Yuan. On it were only the two words 'forbidden'; other than that, there was nothing else.

“This token contains the power of this Realm Lord. It can be said that even if the three Eighteen-level Perfection experts like Yushou joined forces, they couldn't break it. You may give it to Huang Yuan.”

The Lord of Forbidden instructed Dean Gu Yuan.

Dean Gu Yuan hurriedly put the token away and then said, “Thank you, Realm Lord.”

“By the way, order your Gu Yuan Academy to search for the Time-Space Tree with all their strength. The Time-Space Tree was taken by someone unknown. If you can find the whereabouts of the Time-Space Tree, this Realm Lord wouldn't mind returning your Origin power to you.”

The Lord of Forbidden remembered this matter and gave the order to Dean Gu Yuan.

Upon hearing that the Time-Space Tree had actually been taken, Dean Gu Yuan's expression couldn't help but change.

Clearly, as an Eighteen-level Perfection super forbidden being, he naturally knew of the Time-Space Tree's existence and knew even better how much influence the Time-Space Tree had on the entire Forbidden Realm. It was no exaggeration to say that if the Time-Space Tree was taken, from now on, an existence would appear in the Forbidden Realm that even the Lord of Forbidden could do nothing about.

But Dean Gu Yuan obviously knew that the Time-Space Tree was not something he could covet. He might as well honestly gather news of the Time-Space Tree and then ask for his Origin power back from the Realm Lord.

Soon, as Dean Gu Yuan left, the Lord of Forbidden looked toward the direction of Gu Yuan Academy with a slightly solemn expression, as if seeing Holy Son Yifan, who was currently concentrating on charging into Level Twelve, through infinite space.

“What a pity. If he weren't that fellow Gu Yuan's Disciple, perhaps I really would have wanted to take him under my wing and nurture him well. But since he is Gu Yuan's, then forget it.”

Holy Son Yifan clearly didn't know that he was currently being watched by the Lord of Forbidden. Currently, he was putting all his effort into charging into Level Twelve and naturally had no time to worry about such things.

On the other side, after Dean Gu Yuan left the Realm Lords World, he returned to Gu Yuan Academy before long. The weak aura on his body was also well-concealed by him.

“I didn't expect it would take so much Origin power. However, if Huang Yuan can grow up, then this bit of Origin power will be nothing. Moreover, Origin power can be recovered with rest; it will only take ten billion years of time to restore it again.”

After returning to the academy, Dean Gu Yuan thought to himself. In fact, he had planned to directly give the Realm Lord's token to Huang Yuan the moment he returned, but after sensing that Huang Yuan was in secluded meditation, he did not disturb him.

After all, as long as Huang Yuan was still in the academy, Yushou and the others could not possibly rush into the academy to attack Huang Yuan in front of him.

The token he had exchanged from the Realm Lord for Huang Yuan was so that Huang Yuan could still be safe and sound while outside after leaving the academy.
