The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 487: Need Your Help!

Need Your Help! . . .

Wan of the Clouds hesitated for a moment, and then with a wry smile, she began, "Well, it's a bit complex... We're tired of these cycles of chaotic times, and we've decided to return to the Human Realm Upon Heavens. We won't be staying here any longer."

Cha Eun Xiao's eyes flickered with understanding as he responded, "I see. You want to escape the turmoil and return to your realm."

Xiu of the Heavens added with a slow and thoughtful tone, "You see, the reason we can live here like ordinary people is that we are under a divine restraint. Our abilities are restricted. Without breaking these restraints, we can't leave. When we attempt to break through, we need immense power to safeguard our passage through the Chaos Tunnel."

"With our current abilities, breaking these restraints on our own is impossible. That's where we need your help," Wan of the Clouds explained.

Cha Eun Xiao nodded in realization. "You require assistance in removing these divine restraints."

Xiu of the Heavens confirmed, "Precisely. There's only one person in the firmament who has a chance to create what we need—Feng Monarch, that person is you."

The two ladies elaborated further, providing a comprehensive explanation. Cha Eun Xiao couldn't help but inquire, "Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan?"

Both ladies nodded in unison. "Yes, the Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan. It's the only substance in history known to counteract divine reverse impacts."

Cha Eun Xiao contemplated for a moment and then assured them, "You don't need to worry about that. I have a prior agreement with your master. I will create a Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan bead for him, and I will ensure it's ready on time."

However, Xiu of the Heavens expressed a more solemn tone as she conveyed, "While our master indeed trusts you, circumstances have changed. When you made the initial deal with him, we hadn't intended to leave the Land of Han-Yang. At the time, we only needed one dan bead for our master. But now, our requirements have significantly increased."

This revelation left Cha Eun Xiao taken aback. "You require more than one dan bead?"

Xiu of the Heavens explained, "Yes. We need one bead for our master's recovery, but it would be safer to have two. However, the challenge is that to fully restore his cultivation abilities, even twenty dan beads wouldn't be sufficient. Furthermore, we require Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan beads for ourselves as well. This time, we need more than fifty."

"Fifty?" Cha Eun Xiao exclaimed, his surprise evident. He stood up, disbelief written across his face. "Fifty Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan beads? Are you joking, ladies?"

Their resolute expressions conveyed that they were not jesting, and this realization shocked Cha Eun Xiao to his core. They indeed required a staggering fifty Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan beads.

"It's impossible!" Cha Eun Xiao firmly stated. "You seem to think that Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan is as common as cabbage. You underestimate the complexity of its creation. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't produce fifty of them. Let alone fifty, I can't even make five. This is non-negotiable."

Wan of the Clouds tried to negotiate, "We're willing to offer anything you desire in exchange. Let's discuss it."

However, Cha Eun Xiao was resolute, shaking his head vehemently. "Do you think this is a simple bargaining matter? Even if you were to offer me the entire world, I would never be able to create fifty Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan beads for you. It's not a matter of exchange; it's a matter of possibility. If you have nothing else to discuss, I suggest you return to your master and deliberate with him. Encourage him to think this through very carefully."

Cha Eun Xiao felt the weight of their plea and their sincerity. Xiu of the Heavens spoke earnestly, "Feng Monarch, please consider it. As long as you provide us with enough dan beads, you can request anything in return."

However, Cha Eun Xiao's frustration was palpable. "It's not about what I want. It's simply impossible!"

He grew more impassioned, his anger evident. "I don't care if your master has explained the complexity to you. Let me clarify. The Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan is a nature-twisting elixir! Each dan bead invokes a severe divine punishment. Even one dan bead's punishment is formidable enough to pose a significant threat to my life. I've considered it, and I can handle the consequences of one bead. I might sustain severe injuries, but I'm willing to accept that. However, you're asking for fifty! Let's put aside the success rate for a moment... Even if I were to succeed in every attempt, by the time I create fifty beads, I'd be reduced to ashes. What kind of dan bead could I make then?"

Cha Eun Xiao's words revealed a hint of resignation and frustration, which did not go unnoticed by Wan of the Clouds and Xiu of the Heavens.

They exchanged knowing glances.

Cha Eun Xiao's tone had hinted at his limitations, and it sparked a glimmer of hope within the two ladies.

Xiu-Er whispered, "Please reconsider, Feng Monarch. We approach you with utmost sincerity. We acknowledge your deep attachment to this world and your strong desire to save the kingdom, the world, and its people. We genuinely admire your heroic nature."

Wan-Er continued, "We have no intention of opposing you if it can be avoided. An opportunity has presented itself for both parties to find a peaceful resolution."

She adopted a soothing and polite tone, which conveyed a sense of humility. However, beneath the surface, there was an undercurrent of something more compelling. It almost sounded like a veiled threat.

Xiu of the Heavens concluded, "Think about it, Feng Monarch. Just consider the connections at play here."

Her words were a blend of serenity, composure, and a touch of soft coercion, leaving Cha Eun Xiao to ponder the complexities of the situation before them.
