Cultivation: I Signed in with the Talent of an Immortal at the Start

Chapter 287: The Land of Inheritance the Immortal King’s Treasure

“This Junior was presumptuous.”

Ouyang Lan felt that cold indifference and understood that Han Xuanji did not wish to have too much involvement with her.

A hint of disappointment flickered in her heart.

Seeing Ouyang Lan’s expression, Nether Crow, for some unknown reason, laughed even more happily.

It flapped its wings, drawing closer, and cawed, “Haha, little girl, your calculations are quite good. Although your Aptitude is decent, you should be aware of the Karma you carry.”

Hearing this, Ouyang Lan lowered her head, not daring to say more.

She was born with extraordinary Aptitude, far surpassing her peers, but a voice in her heart always told her:

It’s still not enough!

Thus, she was eager to grow stronger, never daring to slack off.

Coming to the depths of this Nether Sea was naturally not without purpose.

Her sudden request to become a disciple and its subsequent rejection were within her expectations.

Ouyang Lan took a deep breath, suppressing her emotions, and bowed solemnly again.

This time, her posture was much more elegant and humble:

“Senior’s life-saving grace, Ouyang Lan will never forget. To be frank, this Junior risked her life to venture deep into the Nether Sea not without reason.”

She raised her eyes, looking at Han Xuanji with firm resolve,

“This Junior dares not aspire to be Senior’s disciple, but I know there is an important Legacy deep within the Nether Sea. This item concerns the very foundation of this Junior’s Dao path. Therefore, this Junior, knowing her cultivation is low and the path ahead is perilous, dared to implore to be taken under Senior’s wing, hoping to receive Senior’s protection to retrieve the Legacy.”

Her words were neither servile nor overbearing, frankly explaining the reason for her earlier presumptuous request to become a disciple.

After all, despite the life-saving grace, this Legacy was too important.

Without the bond of master and disciple, she truly wouldn’t dare to trust Han Xuanji too much.

Of course, seeing Han Xuanji’s cold demeanor, she actually felt a sense of relief.

“From the Legacy site, I only need to take one item. All other Treasures can be taken by Senior. Is that acceptable?”

Ouyang Lan’s eyes were clear, and her words sincere, not like a lie.

Upon hearing this,

a hint of imperceptible surprise flashed in Han Xuanji’s eyes.

Could it be the Legacy left by Reincarnation Immortal King?

It seems Reincarnation Immortal King must have prepared for his death before he died.

He must have realized he was just one of the Reincarnations?

Nether Crow also nodded upon hearing this, cawing:

“There’s not a single lie…”

But then it spoke as if nothing had happened:

“I just don’t know if some crucial information is being hidden?”

Hearing this, Ouyang Lan glared fiercely at Nether Crow, motioning for it to shut up.

She was also quite helpless; if not for the sense of crisis in her heart, she wouldn’t resort to such a desperate measure.

“The Legacy can only be taken by me, but I can swear an oath that I will never harbor any intention of harming Senior.”

Han Xuanji actually believed her words.

He pondered for a moment, not immediately agreeing or refusing, but instead asked indifferently:

“This information, you’re probably not the only one who knows it, right?”

Ouyang Lan hesitated slightly, but knowing that concealment was pointless, she frankly said:

“I’m not sure, but I can confirm that the Legacy is still there, and it contains Treasures useful even to an Immortal King.”

Her words were to the point.

Nether Crow listened, dumbfounded, and cawed, “Useful to an Immortal King? Caw! You little… Your background is truly not simple!”

It looked at Ouyang Lan with a sudden increase in reverence.

To know such intelligence, it seems she is likely not a simple character.

Han Xuanji weighed the pros and cons in his heart.

He had previously politely refused to take her as a disciple because he didn’t want to get involved in the Karma, but now that the other party had voluntarily revealed such important information, and the interests involved were considerable, it was worth it.

A seven-star sign-in location should not be easily missed.

Anyway, with his current strength, even if Reincarnation Immortal King were to revive now, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.

The other party’s comprehension of the Dao of Reincarnation was what he was relatively covetous of.

And don’t forget, Reincarnation Immortal King was also proficient in the Dao of the Sword.

The Reincarnation Sword Dao he pioneered was also a profound Sword Dao, comparable to a Grand Unity Golden Immortal in Sword Dao.

While Han Xuanji was contemplating, Nether Crow also cawed:

“That’s not enough sincerity!”

Ouyang Lan felt helpless, but knew this was crucial to gaining trust.

She took a deep breath and solemnly said:

“This Junior is willing to swear a Nether Sea oath with her True Spirit, that during this journey, she will harbor no intention of harming Senior. If any information is concealed, she is willing to suffer the backlash of the Nether Sea and the dissipation of her True Spirit!”

This oath was even more terrifying than a Heavenly Dao oath.

Swearing in the Nether Sea would naturally evoke a response in the unseen world.

Ouyang Lan paused slightly, as if having made some decision, and squeezed out a drop of pale golden blood from her fingertip, containing a strange Reincarnation fluctuation.

Within the blood, a tiny rune could vaguely be seen circulating.

“This Legacy site indeed has a Restriction. Only the inheritor can activate it; forceful taking will certainly lead to backlash. This is the first layer of protection.”

“This is the ‘Reincarnation Blood Guide,’ the key to opening the core Legacy, and it can also sense others approaching. This Junior can hand it over to Senior.”

After a moment of silence, Han Xuanji raised his eyes, his gaze as calm as an ancient well:

“Accepted.”

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Lan’s eyes instantly flashed with joy, and she quickly bowed:

“Thank you, Senior!”

“Wait,”

Han Xuanji raised a hand to stop her, his tone still flat,

“I have conditions.”

“Senior, please speak!”

“First, during this journey, if I discover any private actions you take, you will bear the consequences.”

“Second, upon reaching the Legacy site, I need to first investigate for dangers. If there are dangers, I can abandon you at any time.”

“Third, after this matter, our Karma will be cleared. You must not mention anything about me to outsiders. Of course, you will also have repaid the life-saving grace.”

The conditions were clear, and even more lenient than Ouyang Lan had expected.

She agreed without hesitation:

“This Junior can swear to abide by all!”

“In that case, swear the oath.”

Han Xuanji said indifferently.

Ouyang Lan immediately drew blood-colored runes in the air, swearing with her Divine Soul, writing out each of the conditions Han Xuanji had proposed.

Blood light flickered, and the oath was established.

If violated, her Dao Heart would be damaged, and she would also suffer extremely severe punishment.

Even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal could not escape the punishment.

“Thank you, Senior.”

Ouyang Lan quickly replied, a great weight lifted from her heart.

At the same time, she carefully wrapped the drop of “Reincarnation Blood Guide” with her magic power and sent it to Han Xuanji.

Han Xuanji swept his sleeve, collecting it, but only storing it isolated by his Divine Sense.

“Without further ado, point the way.”

Ouyang Lan suppressed her excitement, and relying on the increasingly clear sensation within her body, she pointed towards the deeper part of the Nether Sea, where the aura of death was even denser:

“Senior, it’s over there…”

Han Xuanji nodded slightly, and with a wave of his sleeve, a gentle force enveloped Ouyang Lan.

“Let’s go.”

As his voice fell, the two figures transformed into a faint, ethereal stream of light, silently blending into the boundless darkness of the Nether Sea.

“Alas, let this crow go and see too.”

The boisterous Nether Crow realized Han Xuanji hadn’t paid it any mind, but it didn’t dare to complain, only muttering to itself as it followed along…

On the other side, a figure slowly walked through the Nether Sea.

It was a young man in a black robe, with a pale, sinister face and sharp, eagle-like eyes, exuding a powerful aura.

“As long as this lord takes this Reincarnation Dao Fruit, I will be able to advance to the Late Stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal. By then, finding the other Reincarnations will allow me to embark on the path of Grand Unity.”

Zhang Jianqing murmured in his heart, stepping out of a mist, revealing his figure.

He raised his right hand, and the surrounding Reincarnation Fiends dared not approach him.

One step fast, every step fast.

He had already taken the lead in entering the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and had already seized the talents of three Reincarnations.

The other Reincarnations simply couldn’t catch up to him.

“Hmm?”

Zhang Jianqing’s face showed surprise and doubt, and he murmured:

“Someone got here before me? Could it be the Reincarnation I sensed earlier?”

With that thought, Zhang Jianqing quickly flew towards the Legacy site.

A mere Golden Immortal could only serve as fodder for his achievement of Grand Unity.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but smile.

It truly was killing two birds with one stone!
