Chapter 967: He Seemed to Say… He Wants to Become an Immortal Emperor?
Both options sounded quite good, but Qi Yuan's heart remained as calm as still water, showing no interest at all.
Although he didn't know if he was truly the Reincarnation of Immortal Lord Yuan Wu, based solely on the grudge formed during the Primordial Era, seeking refuge with Tai Hao would be like the Old God of Longevity hanging himself—tired of living.
Furthermore, the so-called "Fusion of the three corpses" was even more ridiculous. No matter what, Lin Zhen was This person Qi's little brother, always loyal to him as his big brother and following his every command.
If the Fusion of the three corpses led to the annihilation of a certain Child of Destiny's Divine Soul, wouldn't that be equivalent to killing his own little brother?
After all, once a person loses their self-awareness, it is no different from death.
Besides, even if he were willing to sacrifice his little brother, what he would obtain wouldn't be a true powerhouse of the Immortal Emperor Realm. It would most likely just be some kind of clone body of Immortal Emperor Donghua, and not even Immortal Emperor Donghua in his prime.
After all, Immortal Emperor Donghua's Dao Fruit had already been taken to Earth by Immortal Lord Yuan Wu for a trade. Even if the real Immortal Emperor Donghua were to return, it would be impossible to recover the Dao Fruit…
More importantly, in the System's original timeline, Demon Ancestor Mo Wentian's powerful descent into the Yunmeng Great World was destined to stir up a series of massive waves. He clearly belonged to the category of a super boss that only the protagonist's faction could deal with.
If Qi Yuan's prediction was correct, the subsequent main quests of the System would likely be related to this "super boss." If he fused the old demon now, where would he find a target to complete his quests?
What Old Man Shi proposed seemed very tempting, but it held little attraction for Qi Yuan.
Although he had many complaints about the System's various idiotic behaviors, he couldn't deny that if he wanted to challenge Tai Hao, who had ascended to the Immortal Emperor Realm, the System was currently his greatest reliance. Naturally, he couldn't easily give it up.
With these thoughts passing through his mind, Qi Yuan no longer hesitated and said indifferently:
"The trade you mentioned sounds very good, but I choose to refuse!"
"What?!"
Hearing Qi Yuan's answer, Old Man Shi, who had been full of confidence, was suddenly shocked, his voice filled with deep disbelief:
"Such a once-in-a-lifetime Opportunity is laid out before you, and you actually refuse?"
Qi Yuan glanced at him and said with a calm face:
"I don't lack fighters under my command right now, and I have no interest in seeking refuge with Tai Hao. Why should I go through the trouble of fusing Immortal Emperor Donghua's three corpses?"
"You… you actually know that big figure's identity!"
Seeing the other party casually expose the secret, Old Man Shi stood frozen in place, momentarily feeling speechless.
A trade depends on both sides having similar stakes. Now that his biggest bargaining chip had been seen through at a glance, even with Old Man Shi's high intelligence, he didn't know how to continue the negotiation.
While he was feeling uncertain and suspicious, Qi Yuan gave a faint smile and continued:
"How about I help you change the terms of the trade?"
Seeing that things seemed to have taken a turn, Old Man Shi's spirits lifted, and he hurriedly replied:
"Please, go ahead!"
"Good!"
A sharp light flashed in Qi Yuan's eyes as he said solemnly:
"To tell you the truth, the master of the Yuan Realm, Western Mother Divine Venerable, happens to be This person Qi's close Dao Companion. If you want to reincarnate into the Yuan Realm to avoid disaster, it's just a matter of a single word for me."
"Once you reincarnate there, I can also ensure you live comfortably and smoothly in the Yuan Realm, guaranteed to be better than when you were a ghost. How about it?"
To verify the truth of his words, he casually took out a small bead surrounded by divine light and toyed with it in his hand with a composed expression.
This Inter-World Bead was given to him by Wu Miaozhen the last time they met, and it contained a surge of Origin power unique to the Yuan Realm.
Through this item, he could open a teleportation portal to the Yuan Realm at any time and then escape there.
The other side of the portal was precisely the core area of the Yuan Realm, which was Wu Miaozhen's Divine Palace. The effect was similar to having a teleportation anchor point there.
"…"
While he was talking eloquently, he didn't hear Old Man Shi's voice for a long time. Clearly, this news was too shocking, causing this wily Ghost Hell Prime Minister to be completely stunned.
The dignified master of the Yuan Realm, a top powerhouse at the half-step Creation Realm, had actually become this kid's Dao Companion?!
What made Old Man Shi unable to hold it together the most was that, judging by the Token the other party showed, this kid really didn't seem to be bragging…
When the Yuan Realm opened, no one knew why the Western Mother Divine Venerable, who had shone brilliantly during the Primordial Calamity, would give her own created divine domain such a mysterious name.
Thinking about it now, the man before him happened to be named Qi Yuan.
Could it be… the 'Yuan' in Yuan Realm was actually the 'Yuan' in Qi Yuan?
Holy shit!!!
The more Old Man Shi thought about it, the more he felt he might have guessed an extraordinary secret, and a storm of shock surged in his heart.
He thought he had hidden himself deep enough, but he hadn't expected the other party to be ten times more mysterious than him!
After being shocked for quite a while, Old Man Shi finally calmed down slightly and asked with a trembling voice:
"Little friend Qi, then… then what are your conditions?"
Qi Yuan leisurely put away the small bead and said with a smile:
"It's very simple. I will soon ascend to the Immortal Realm. Since you were once the second-in-command of a major power in the Immortal Realm, you must possess a lot of information about the high-level officials of the Immortal Court."
"I need you to stay by my side and offer advice for a period of time. Once I successfully become an Immortal Emperor, I will send you to the Yuan Realm to enjoy your life. How about it? Sounds fair, right?"
Why would this kid not cling to the Western Mother Divine Venerable's thigh and instead plan to join the Immortal Court?
Hearing Qi Yuan's first sentence, Old Man Shi was shocked again, somewhat confused by the other party's intentions.
Wait!
He seemed to say… he wants to become an Immortal Emperor?
At this moment, Old Man Shi felt his whole body trembling, nearly scared to the point of his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering…
