The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 497: A Few Conditions!

A Few Conditions! . . .

Cha Eun Xiao's fascination with the Golden Soul Tower was evident as he continued to hold it, not wanting to part with it. He inquired, "Oh right, how can I bond it to my soul? Seeing is better than hearing. I can't truly believe it by words alone. Let's get it done. Aren't you in a hurry? You don't seem eager to save time!"

Ling Wuxie's face quivered, and he clenched his teeth as he instructed, "Bite your tongue! Use your life's spiritual qi to make the blood drop from your tongue. Ensure the entire Golden Soul Tower is covered. Don't miss any spot. Use your spiritual mind to lock onto it and open your mind while concentrating on allowing it in."

In his mind, Ling Wuxie thought, "I can't wait to see this guy endure that pain. Maybe he's afraid of blood. That would be perfect. If something like that happens, I can quickly reclaim the Golden Soul Tower. It's a waste to leave such a magnificent object in the hands of this fool!"

Cha Eun Xiao, seemingly enlightened, responded, "Thank you for explaining the details. This involves my life, and I don't want any issues with it. I understand. It sounds complex, but it's actually easy to accomplish."

With that, he opened his mouth and, with a loud "crack," bit his tongue. Blood flowed like a spring from the wound. While manipulating the East-rising Purple Qi, light purple blood dripped from his tongue, falling onto the Golden Soul Tower one drop after another.

Ling Wuxie's gaze fixed on the purple blood. He then turned his attention to Cha Eun Xiao, who diligently followed the instructions to establish the soul bond. In the midst of this, Cha Eun Xiao, Wan-Er, and Xiu-Er were all entirely focused on the task at hand, unaware of Ling Wuxie's shifting demeanor.

Ling Wuxie didn't want anyone to see the expressions on his face at that moment. He appeared to have undergone a significant transformation. However, he may have gone a step too far because no one seemed to notice the sudden change in his demeanor.

It took some time, but Cha Eun Xiao successfully formed the soul bond with the Golden Soul Tower. Sensing a reaction in his Gold Space, he decided to halt his martial arts practice. He was uncertain whether this tiny object could withstand his Gold Space's absorption capabilities, and he didn't want to risk it being noticed.

Ling Wuxie's face regained its clarity as he commended Cha Eun Xiao, saying, "Feng Monarch, you truly possess talent. This is your first attempt, and yet you already appear quite skilled. Impressive."

Cha Eun Xiao responded with a hearty laugh, "For the first... Oh, I believe it's no longer an issue. I can sense that this treasure is growing stronger. With its power, it should be sufficient to withstand the dan divine punishment. So, let's proceed to the second condition."

The two ladies sighed, and Ling Wuxie also heaved a sigh.

[How cunning he is. He has taken it from us. He has gotten his soul bonded to it. We can never take it back. Now he tells us that it is the first condition. It is only the first.]

[In other words, after this one, there will be a second one. Also a third one, fourth one…]

Ling Wuxie cleared his throat and inquired, "Feng Monarch, may I ask how many conditions you want? We already have an agreement. Why don't we just be straightforward with each other?"

He felt somewhat powerless, but he needed to determine how many conditions he might have to face. What if Cha Eun Xiao had ninety-nine conditions in mind? Could he bear that burden?

Ling Wuxie had gained a deep understanding of Cha Eun Xiao by this point. He considered Cha Eun Xiao to be rather shrewd.

It was quite a dark scheme!

"Relax, there aren't that many conditions, really," Cha Eun Xiao responded casually. "To be honest, you want to leave the Land of Han-Yang, and I want you to go as well. I won't ask for anything overly difficult from you."

Ling Wuxie was taken aback. He sensed that Cha Eun Xiao was being sincere and nodded in agreement, saying, "Very well, I am impressed."

Cha Eun Xiao smiled wryly and continued, "I have some candid words to share. I don't understand why the House of the Chaotic Storms has appeared here. I have a feeling that Master Bai and the two ladies are pursuing something significant. Now that you're in such a hurry to leave, you must have achieved your goal."

"For everyone else in this world, your presence in this lower realm is unfair to us," Cha Eun Xiao remarked. "I've contemplated challenging you, and I've made an attempt. However, while I might be able to attain a higher position for a time, I could never truly defeat you. You are simply unbeatable."

"It's a tragedy for the entire world, a tragedy with an inevitable conclusion."

"So the sooner you depart, the sooner the world can regain balance, peace, and normality." Cha Eun Xiao fell silent for a moment before adding, "In reality, I want to defeat you."

The two ladies and Ling Wuxie fell into silence.

Cha Eun Xiao, too, remained quiet after uttering those words.

After a brief pause, he broke the silence and reiterated, "I've been thinking about defeating you."

In his voice, one could detect a sense of helplessness and a burning determination to fight, along with a tinge of regret over not having achieved his goal while Ling Wuxie was already departing.

The depth of his regret was profound, leaving Ling Wuxie and the two ladies astounded.

Wan-Er and Xiu-Er, in particular, remembered the events that occurred after Cha Eun Xiao took over the Ling-Bao Hall. It seemed that every action Cha Eun Xiao took was unrelated to the House of the Chaotic Storms but served to weaken them in some way.
