I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1797: Chapter 1797: Isn’t it fine as long as there are hands? (3/6)

Kuang Lei entered the coffin once more, slipping back into a deep slumber, awaiting the next cultivator’s arrival.

The elder fixed his gaze on Mu Fusheng, not blinking, not even flinching!

Mu Fusheng touched his face and asked knowingly, ”Am I handsome?”

The elder twitched his eyebrows and said, ”How... how did you do it?”

”How did I do what?” Mu Fusheng asked innocently.

The elder waved his hand impatiently. ”Quit playing dumb. How did you pass the Ninth Level of Thunder Tribulation? Logically speaking, in this era, no one should have a method to cross nine levels of tribulation.”

”And even more insane, you actually refined the Nine Level Thunder Tribulation’s power... Even if someone had a way to pass, who would dare risk their life like that!”

Mu Fusheng countered, ”Even you don’t know how?”

The elder rolled his eyes. ”If I knew, would I be asking you?”

”Then doesn’t that mean the method is a closely guarded secret?”

The elder nodded. ”Of course, otherwise it wouldn’t have been lost to time.”

Mu Fusheng snorted, ”Then do you think I’d tell you?”

The elder: ”...”

What the hell—he’s so damn convincing that I can’t even refute him!

Yet inexplicably, it left the elder a little annoyed.

”I’m just a remnant soul, bound to this relic, unable to leave. What harm is there in telling me? Satisfy the curiosity of an old man, would you?”

Mu Fusheng gestured with his hand. ”No thanks; we’re not even close.”

The elder gritted his teeth. ”Fine. If you share this information with me, I’ll swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao that I won’t tell another soul. Additionally, I’ll give you a piece of information that’ll give you an advantage in your next relic trial!”

Mu Fusheng smirked, ”The next trial? Isn’t this the last trial? What can you possibly tell me that’s useful?”

The elder chuckled, shaking his head. ”I’m talking about the core secrets of the Divine Dynasty.”

”Or... are you saying that with your strength, you don’t think you can claim the Sun and Moon Token?”

Hearing this, Mu Fusheng suddenly realized, ”Ah, so the final trial must be some sort of free-for-all battle.”

The elder: ”...”

What kind of brain does this guy have?

Just one sentence and he’s already deduced the content of the final trial?!

”So, do we trade or not?”

Mu Fusheng mulled it over before nodding. ”Fine, but I need to add one more condition.”

The elder frowned, ”What is it? Speak.”

Mu Fusheng smiled. ”I need all the information you have on the Xu Family and Xuanyuan Clan in all the relics. Ideally, I want updates on their every move.”

The elder hesitated. ”This...”

Mu Fusheng shrugged nonchalantly, ”Well, if that’s the case, the deal’s off.”

The elder gritted his teeth, ultimately unable to resist his burning curiosity.

After all, Mu Fusheng’s feat was utterly unprecedented. Even His Majesty the Chaos God Master had nearly perished during the Ninth Level of Thunder Tribulation. So how could Mu Fusheng have breezed through it and even refined the tribulation’s power?

”Sigh, as a Relic Guardian, I shouldn’t be abusing my authority, but...”

Mu Fusheng interrupted, putting on a considerate expression. ”It’s fine. I understand. After all, you’ve been here guarding this place for so long, unburdened by worldly desires. If learning the truth makes you restless, that would be on me. Forget it, forget it.”

The elder was dumbstruck.

You kidding me?

I was just being polite, and now you’ve cornered me?

Watching Mu Fusheng pretend to turn toward the Light Gate to leave, the elder quickly stepped in to block him. ”Fine! I agree!”

Mu Fusheng grinned mischievously. ”You won’t feel conflicted, senior?”

The elder’s face twitched, his fists clenched tightly. ”Quit yapping and start talking already.”

This little brat.

How is he this good at getting under my skin?

Mu Fusheng shook his head and finally said, ”Well, it’s because... I had the guidance of a master. Without their help guarding me, I couldn’t have done it.”

The elder: ”...”

That’s it?

You think I don’t already know someone helped you?

How could you possibly have done it alone?

Seeing the elder’s rising frustration, Mu Fusheng decided not to keep pushing. After all, the elder was just a remnant soul. No need to risk him dissipating entirely due to sheer fury.

So Mu Fusheng relayed an account.

It was honest, but... how much he left out was his own business.

As the elder listened, he swore this was the most shocked he’d ever been. His mouth hung open, and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

When it was finally over, he exclaimed with deep emotion, ”I once thought His Majesty passing the Nine Level Thunder Tribulation was a miracle that no one could ever surpass. And yet... as they say, there’s always a sky above the sky, a person beyond the person.

In this era, someone actually conceived this method, and more astonishingly, succeeded. It’s a feat that could truly be called divine creation.”

Mu Fusheng didn’t respond.

At the time, he’d thought the same.

Until his master hit him with a line.

What, this isn’t something obvious to anyone with half a brain?

Are you brainless?

If you have hands, it’s doable. Don’t have hands?

Useless!

That experience hit Mu Fusheng hard.

Now, he didn’t dare share that part with the elder, fearful the frail remnant soul wouldn’t survive the blow.

”Alright. Since you’ve shared everything with me, I won’t break my promise,” the elder finally said.

Mu Fusheng’s face flushed slightly.

The elder didn’t notice and continued, ”Once you’ve obtained the Sun and Moon Token, pay close attention when entering the core of the Chaos Divine Dynasty.”

His tone turned serious. ”Do not let greed blind you. Also, if you happen to enter the Forbidden Land, beware of the numerous illusions within. These illusions are undetectable to anyone below the Boundary God Realm. If you can quickly locate the Core and break the array, you’ll gain the treasures within before anyone else...

Mark my words: whatever you find in the Forbidden Land must not fall into the hands of the Immortal Realm.”

Mu Fusheng nodded. ”So I was right—Immortal Realm infiltrators have snuck into the relic as well.”

The elder’s tone darkened. ”And they’ve secured Sun and Moon Tokens in several relics.”

Mu Fusheng nodded again, finding this information valuable.

It wasn’t much at first glance.

But illusions undetectable to all but those in the Boundary God Realm posed a huge problem. Without prior knowledge that such illusions existed, who would actively search for methods to break them? The danger would be immense!

For now, Mu Fusheng saw a potential opportunity to exploit this information for his own advantage.

”As for the information you wanted, I’ve already infused it into this scroll.” As he spoke, the elder handed Mu Fusheng a scroll. ”Everything regarding the Xu Family and Xuanyuan Clan’s activities is inside. Look it up yourself.”

Mu Fusheng considered before asking, ”Senior, since you’ve mentioned the Forbidden Land’s treasures can’t be allowed to fall into the Immortal Realm’s hands, how about tossing me a weapon or two? I’m a bit under-equipped right now...”

The elder vanished on the spot.

If he stayed any longer... he feared losing all his fur!
