Chapter 2373 - 2372: Fragment, Supreme Treasure?
Hearing Su Han’s words, the Yin-Yang Blade Saint fell silent.
For a long, long time...
He suddenly raised his head, looked at Su Han, and said, "To you, what’s more important, your Cultivation Base or your Lifespan? Or rather, what’s more important, your Lifespan, or... the Immortal Realm?"
Su Han did not answer.
In fact, when he asked this question, he had already guessed the answer.
The Yin-Yang Blade Saint had already lived for over ten million years in the Lower-Class Star Region.
Even for the oldest old monsters, ten million years of time is already more than enough...
Just like some tycoons in the Mortal World; once they have money, money to them becomes just a string of numbers, because there’s nothing they want that they can’t buy.
And once they reach that level, what is it that they truly care about?
Face!
The money of those tycoons is equivalent to a cultivator’s Lifespan, while their face is equivalent to a cultivator’s Cultivation Base.
Ten million years of time—ugly as it sounds—they’ve already lived enough, really lived enough...
Everything in the Lower-Class Star Region is no longer fresh to the Yin-Yang Blade Saint.
There’s almost nothing left that he can pursue, nothing that can stir his interest.
If there truly is something, then it must be... the Immortal Realm!
Su Han had once seen countless such Madmen.
These Madmen, even with tens of millions of years of Lifespan remaining, would still give up everything to pursue their Cultivation Base—even if it meant dying, they’d still risk it all for one desperate gamble!
And as someone who’s been through it himself, he understands that feeling better than anyone.
Back then, when was he ever not someone just like the Yin-Yang Blade Saint?
"I want to step into the Immortal Realm, want to go to the Middle-Class Star Region, want to experience what it feels like to refine Immortal Crystals, want to meet those true Immortals, want to feel the Immortal Qi of the Middle-Class Star Region..."
"If possible, in the future I still want to go to the High-Grade Star Domain, want to go to the Holy Domain, want to become a Divine Being, want to become a Saint, want to sit atop the Milky Way Galaxy and gaze down upon the multitude of living beings!"
The Yin-Yang Blade Saint’s gaze gradually grew brighter; that was a kind of emotion called anticipation.
"Perhaps, you still can’t truly feel this right now, but this old man has already lived far, far too long..."
"I feel like I myself now am nothing but a puppet, a walking corpse, repeating the same things every day, cycling again and again."
"Have you heard the saying: ’Experts are lonely’?"
"If things go on like this, even if I’m given another hundred million years of Lifespan, what difference would it make?"
"Heh... it would be nothing but a form of torment..."
Speaking up to this point, the Yin-Yang Blade Saint glanced at Su Han, then suddenly shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Forget it, even if I tell you all this, you won’t really understand. You just need to know that I won’t harm you, and I’ve no need to harm you, that’s all."
Su Han nodded lightly and did not press further.
He would neither completely distrust nor completely believe the Yin-Yang Blade Saint’s words—he took them as half true, half false.
The Divine Dream Sect likely still conceals some astonishing secret, but it’s clear that the Yin-Yang Blade Saint is unwilling to tell Su Han; even Du Xi has never told Su Qing.
"Aside from the Immortal Realm, I have another wish." The Yin-Yang Blade Saint spoke again.
"What wish?" Su Han asked.
The Yin-Yang Blade Saint gave Su Han a deep look. "You’ll know when the time comes..."
Since the other party was unwilling to say, Su Han naturally wouldn’t ask more.
...
The Starry Battleship traveled at an extremely fast speed; in roughly three days, it had already reached the edge of the hundred-billion lands.
And during these three days, Su Han also learned that this time, the Yin-Yang Blade Saint had brought a total of three hundred thousand people.
Almost all those of the Divine Dream Sect above the Void Heaven Realm had been brought along.
On the Phoenix Sect’s side, there were around two hundred thousand people, but every single one of them was at least in the Fusion Realm!
Between the two forces, the difference was only a hundred thousand people, but the real gap in Cultivation Base made those from the Divine Dream Sect secretly sigh.
Because of this, when facing people from the Phoenix Sect, they acted much more politely, no longer flaunting the status of the Divine Dream Sect as one of the Nine Factions in front of the Phoenix Sect.
"ROAR!!!"
"HOWL!!!"
From within the Starry Sky, piercing shrieks and furious roars gradually echoed over.
Many people who had been resting with eyes closed furrowed their brows and opened their eyes.
Su Han walked out from the ship’s hold and saw the Yin-Yang Blade Saint.
"We’re going to weave our way through these Extraterritorial Demons?" he asked.
"No. From the day we discovered the true entrance to Three Emperor Mountain, the many powerhouses of the Divine Dream Sect began constructing a special passageway. As early as a million years ago, this special passageway had already been completed, but today is the first time it’s being used." the Yin-Yang Blade Saint said.
"So it’s we who are benefiting from the Divine Dream Sect’s efforts." Su Han smiled slightly.
"It’s just mutual assistance. In fact, if we really want to talk about it, the Day Sun mark on your body is what’s most important."
The Yin-Yang Blade Saint looked at Su Han. "Speaking of that Day Sun, this old man wants to ask: do you know what exactly the Day Sun on your body is?"
"More or less."
Su Han likewise fixed his gaze on the Yin-Yang Blade Saint. "Senior should know as well by now, right?"
"I’ve done some rough deductions, but I don’t know the specifics." The Yin-Yang Blade Saint shook his head.
Su Han was silent for a moment, then said, "To be honest, there is something that I need, and that thing—there’s one piece of it inside the Divine Dream Sect."
"I’m afraid it’s not only the Divine Dream Sect, is it?" the Yin-Yang Blade Saint countered.
Su Han froze for a second, then said, "So it seems senior truly already knows what that Day Sun actually is."
The thing he spoke of was naturally the Treasure Map Fragment of the final Supreme Treasure Pearl!
And aside from the Divine Dream Sect, within the Qing Emperor Sect, the Sect of the Supreme Void, and the Immortal Sovereign Pavilion, each held one piece!
As for these three sects, wanting them to hand it over was impossible; even if Su Han wished to buy, they would never sell.
To obtain it, there was only one way—and that was... to snatch it by force!
And as for snatching it by force, right now was clearly not the time.
But the Divine Dream Sect was different. Given the relationship between the Phoenix Sect and the Divine Dream Sect, Su Han wasn’t planning to take it by force.
If the Divine Dream Sect was willing to bring it out, then even if Su Han had to pay an equivalent price, it wouldn’t be impossible.
"We’ll talk about it in the future..." the Yin-Yang Blade Saint said.
Su Han couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
Judging from that tone, it sounded like he had no intention of giving that fragment to him!
"I know you’ve always been puzzled about what exactly the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects are wary of in the Divine Dream Sect. Now I can tell you."
The Yin-Yang Blade Saint seemed to understand Su Han’s thoughts and continued, "What they’re afraid of is precisely that fragment!"
"Oh?"
Su Han’s eyes flashed. "It’s just a fragment—what’s there to be afraid of?"
"It seems you really don’t know."
The Yin-Yang Blade Saint pondered for a moment, then spoke a shocking sentence.
"It is both an ordinary fragment, and also... a Supreme Treasure that can grow without limit!"
