Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill-Chapter 589 - 19 Reconstructing the Body

Sky Dragon True Monarch made a compromise.

As a cultivator of the Eighth Realm, he did not want to take the gamble, unwilling to exchange his life for the life of someone from the Seventh Realm.

Thus, he decided to have a proper discussion with the frenzied person before him.

Huangtian appeared deranged on the surface, yet his heart was extremely calm.

Madness was just a facade. If he did not appear crazy enough, presenting an image of exchanging life for life, the adversary of the Eighth Realm would not easily agree.

Fortunately, he succeeded!

Not only did he confirm the news about the Ninth Realm, but he also achieved his objective.

He was very clear that this was actually the "lingering power" left by his master.

His master’s strength must be stronger than he imagined, even strong enough to break the courage of some of the enemy’s strongest.

Otherwise, such a threat would not have been established from the beginning.

Three gambles, one was that the enemy’s Ninth Realm could not take action, the second was that his master’s strength could threaten the enemy, and the third was that the enemy’s Eighth Realm did not dare to exchange life for life.

One life was wagered three times, and he won all three bets!

For their world, for the Datong, he fought for a ray of hope.

That mysterious voice said the master had not died. He believed it and also trusted that his master’s return could turn the tide.

Maintaining his somewhat maniacal smile and allowing himself to become even calmer, Huangtian looked at Sky Dragon True Monarch and spoke again, "That’s more like it. Since you’ve come to our world, you need to follow our rules!"

"Your rules? What rules do you have?" Sky Dragon True Monarch also calmed down.

"It’s simple. You leave!"

"Impossible!" Sky Dragon True Monarch outright refused.

Giving this up was not an option.

Therefore, the terms needed a thorough discussion.

He truly did not want to exchange life for life, but retreating directly was also impossible.

This was not only his issue, but also a matter affecting an entire world. Daojun and other True Monarchs were waiting for his news, and countless cultivators of the Sixth and Seventh Realms were also coming to this world to carve out a piece for themselves.

Concerning the interests of a whole world, even as a True Monarch, he could not decide alone.

"Then we fight to the death!"

Huangtian knew very well that forcing the issue was surely not a good choice, but since he had shown himself as crazed, he had to maintain it; once an abnormality was discovered, the resolution would not be so simple.

He could risk his life against those of the Eighth Realm, but such an exchange, for their world, was certainly not worth it.

Having it as leverage for the negotiations was best.

Even if they could only maintain it for a while.

Sky Dragon True Monarch, naturally unaware of all this, grew somber and wanted to rage.

However, just at that moment, one of the Sixth Realm cultivators who came with Sky Dragon True Monarch said, "Didn’t you say you welcomed us here? Why go back on your word now? Does your world not keep its promises?"

"Brilliant!" x2

Both Sky Dragon True Monarch and Huangtian internally shouted in approval.

Those words from the Sixth Realm cultivator were perfect!

Huangtian had been pondering how to steer the conversation in this direction, and the opponent’s own person brought it up, making things even more convenient.

Sky Dragon True Monarch directly said, "So your world is like this? Not keeping promises is not a good habit."

"..." Huangtian furrowed his brows as if in thought, "Of course not. It’s just that your attitude just now didn’t seem like that of guests."

"He broke the rules, so he died. Isn’t this punishment enough?" Someone from Sky Dragon True Monarch’s side spoke up, a cultivator from the Seventh Realm.

"In that case, it seems so, but you must adhere to the rules!" frёewebηovel.cѳm

Seeing Huangtian compromise, Sky Dragon True Monarch showed a smile and said, "You say!"

"Do not use power beyond the Sixth Realm within the planet, do not use force within the cities... and limit the number of people coming." Huangtian listed several conditions in succession, most of which were to protect the lives in the Datong.

Lives represent hope.

"Agreed!" Sky Dragon True Monarch answered without hesitation, "However, the number of those entering needs discussion upon my return. I hope next time you won’t obstruct us again."

Having said that, Sky Dragon True Monarch led his people away.

Speaking of discussing who would come was in fact because a huge change had taken place; he needed to inform the other True Monarchs.

Huangtian did not stop them, watching as they returned through the dimensional gateway with profound eyes.

"We’ve still exposed some things, but the main goal was achieved!"

He knew that when he agreed to let the enemy’s people come over, the enemy must have started to realize something.

Even if not now, they would notice something amiss upon calming down.

However, what needed to be done had been accomplished. The enemy choosing to return for discussion mostly meant they had no other option, and this was his final bet.

On the other side.

Sky Dragon True Monarch returned to the Chaotic Realm.

He was slowly coming to his senses; that person just now was very likely acting.

Once he shared these events with the other True Monarchs, the others, with the perspective of outsiders, directly confirmed his suspicion.

"That person may or may not be crazy, but his ultimate goal was surely to make you agree to his terms," Secret True Monarch frankly stated his guess without regard for Sky Dragon True Monarch’s feelings.

But Sky Dragon True Monarch no longer had the time to consider his pride.

"This is my oversight; what should we do next, launch a direct attack?"

He was annoyed at being manipulated.

But he was not impulsive.

He was indeed manipulated, but all that was predicated on the hidden possibility that the other party could eliminate him.

The other True Monarchs were clearly also aware of this.
