Chapter 210: But You Can't Afford It Right Now

"It is merely the Emperor's Scripture left behind by Great Emperor Wusheng," Li Yun said calmly.

"If Senior is willing to point out a clear path for this junior, I am willing to offer the Wusheng Emperor's Scripture!" Zhao Wusheng said in a deep voice.

The moment his words fell, he turned his palm, and an ancient tome appeared, bearing the characters 'Wusheng Emperor's Scripture.'

The tome was dilapidated, consisting of only a small portion, missing both the beginning and the end. Furthermore, it was not the original from Great Emperor Wusheng, but rather a copy transcribed by one of his descendants.

Without the beginning and end, its value was greatly diminished. However, it remained an Emperor's Scripture—far stronger than the cultivation methods of ordinary Saints or even Saint Kings.

"To have reached this point relying on an incomplete Emperor's Scripture shows that your talent is not lacking. You've simply misunderstood the true meaning of the Wusheng Emperor's Scripture," Li Yun said, glancing at the tome.

Information about the Emperor's Scripture was instantly queried by the system.

At that moment, he couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia for the Demonic Prison Embryonic Scripture. With that cultivation method, he could probably deduce the complete version of the Wusheng Emperor's Scripture in minutes.

"Does Senior already possess the Wusheng Emperor's Scripture?" Zhao Wusheng's heart sank.

If the senior already had it, his incomplete copy would be meaningless—not even suitable for propping up a table leg.

"What do you think?" Li Yun replied with a question. He picked up the Wusheng Emperor's Scripture and said softly, "If you can pay the price, I can even let you obtain the full inheritance of Great Emperor Wusheng."

"Truly?" Zhao Wusheng shot to his feet, disbelief written across his face.

Precisely because he possessed an incomplete Emperor's Scripture, he understood the value of a complete one better than anyone. With a complete Emperor's Scripture, he could establish a Sacred Land. Or a massive clan.

"But you can't afford it right now." Li Yun glanced at him, then looked at the sky outside and said faintly, "You have half a shichen to escape. Go through Snowdrift Province and enter the Extreme Northern Ice Domain. You might save your life."

"The Extreme Northern Ice Domain?" Zhao Wusheng's heart jolted.

The Extreme Northern Ice Domain was vast, spanning several provinces. For the senior to specifically point out Snowdrift Province clearly meant this was a path to survival.

And the Extreme Northern Ice Domain was a paradise for demonic cultivators, filled with demonic sects. The sects and Sacred Lands of the righteous path couldn't gain a foothold there at all.

Eighty percent of the people on the Heavenly Sin Leaderboard were in the Extreme Northern Ice Domain. Of course, that was limited to the human race. The other races naturally stayed within their own spheres of influence.

"This junior takes his leave!" Zhao Wusheng did not hesitate for a moment. He cupped his hands in a salute, turned, and quickly departed, his destination the Extreme Northern Ice Domain. 

At the same time, he made a decision in his heart. If he had the chance in the future, he would come to the senior's place to buy information about the Wusheng Emperor's Scripture.

The incompleteness of his cultivation method was too great a limitation. Until he remedied this, the full extent of his combat power remained restricted. Once the method was complete, relying on the Emperor's Scripture, his strength would surely far surpass that of his peers!

"Tsk."

Watching Zhao Wusheng's retreating back, Li Yun withdrew his gaze and looked at the Wusheng Emperor's Scripture in his hand. 

The first three realms were missing, and the subsequent parts for the Great Saint, Quasi-Emperor, and Great Emperor realms were also gone. 

A full six realms were missing, cutting the value of the cultivation method by more than half.

In the system, it could only be exchanged for 350,000 Heavenly Secrets Points.

For Zhao Wusheng to have reached the Saint realm without the cultivation methods for the first three realms was something that could almost be described as heaven-defying luck.

Half a shichen after Zhao Wusheng left, a Saint-level Grand Elder from the Primal Beginning Sacred Land stepped into the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.

Seeing the newcomer, a faint smile touched Li Yun's lips. 

The people from the Primal Beginning Sacred Land had arrived, but Zhao Wusheng had already been gone for half an hour. 

Even if he told them, it was uncertain whether the Primal Beginning Sacred Land could venture into the Extreme Northern Ice Domain to capture him.

As for himself… he didn't need to think so much. A small profit was enough.

"This junior greets the Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets." After entering the Pavilion, the elder from the Primal Beginning Sacred Land cupped his hands in a salute.

"Sit," Li Yun said, pointing to a chair not far away.

At the same time, in the Chaotic Star Sea.

Although it was called a sea, it was a boundless, endless starry sky, filled with infinite starfields. Lifeless stars hung in the firmament.

Legend had it that this was once an extremely prosperous and flourishing great world, but it later suffered a great calamity. All its legacies were severed, and its living beings were almost completely wiped out.

For some unknown reason, the Chaotic Star Sea had merged with this world, becoming a mysterious land.

It was said that it held the opportunity to achieve Emperorship, but it also contained terrifyingly desolate lands that could cause even a Great Emperor to fall. The Great Emperors of the Lin Imperial Clan and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan had both achieved the Dao in the Chaotic Star Sea.

For this reason, the Chaotic Star Sea was shrouded in a veil of mystery.

Many Quasi-Emperor experts, after reaching the peak of their realm, would venture into the depths of the Chaotic Star Sea to find the path to becoming an Emperor.

But countless years had passed. Innumerable Quasi-Emperors had stepped inside, yet few had ever returned.

There were rumors that the depths of the Chaotic Star Sea were a region of chaos. Never mind a Quasi-Emperor—even a Great Emperor who entered could lose their way if they weren't careful, never to return.

Today, after tens of thousands of years of silence, a strange change occurred in the Chaotic Star Sea.

In the endless darkness, a glimmer of light suddenly bloomed. A young man of average height and plain features walked out, step by step, from the depths of the void.
