Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1154 - 1151: The Deal
Although Li Chenβs voice was not loud, every word struck the Nine-headed Sea Emperorβs ears like a clap of thunder. ππππ¦ππππππ·ππ.πΈπ°π
Especially when Li Chen mentioned those names; with each name, the Sea Emperorβs heart trembled fiercely.
Among these were beings whose power surpassed his own.
At least, the ancient fierce beast Taotie definitely had the strength to crush him.
Thinking of this, the Nine-headed Sea Emperor decided to submit.
After all, he did not truly wish to be destroyed alongside Li Chen.
Moreover, even if he risked his life, it might result in nothing but his own soul scattered.
Once he understood this, the Nine-headed Sea Emperor stopped avoiding Li Chenβs gaze and looked directly at him.
"Alright, I agree with you. But first, I want to make another deal with you!"
Hearing that the Nine-headed Sea Emperor wanted to make a deal, it was Li Chenβs turn to be a bit surprised.
"Speak, what is the deal?"
The Nine-headed Sea Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "You want to find the Nine Yu Emperor Treasures to open the Path to Ascension. Coincidentally, I happen to know the whereabouts of the ninth Yu Emperorβs Treasure Cauldron."
"Now, I want to exchange this secret for something from you!"
Hearing news of the ninth Yu Emperorβs Treasure Cauldron, Li Chen was shocked and eagerly asked, "Is it true?"
The Nine-headed Sea Emperor solemnly nodded, "Naturally, itβs true. I would not dare to fool Immortal Master Li on such a life-or-death matter!"
Seeing that he didnβt seem to be lying, Li Chen thought for a moment before asking, "What do you want in exchange for this secret?"
The Nine-headed Sea Emperor gritted his teeth and said word by word, "True Dragon Dragon Pearl!"
A True Dragon refers to the direct descendants of the Ancestor Dragon. From birth, they live in the form of a dragon. Their bloodline is extremely pure.
In contrast, there is the Python Dragon!
This Python Dragon does not simply refer to a hybrid species of python and dragon, but to any species that evolves into a dragon form postnatally.
In simple terms, True Dragons are born innate, while Python Dragons evolve postnatally.
Some Python Dragons may be more powerful than True Dragons. However, due to their impure bloodline, they inherently feel ashamed in front of True Dragons.
This mentality is like that of the poor in front of the nobility.
No matter if a poor person gets rich overnight, in front of true nobility, there is still some ingrained inferiority.
As it turns out, the Nine-headed Sea Emperor is a Python Dragon.
He needed the True Dragon Dragon Pearl to enhance the purity of his bloodline and gain recognition from True Dragons.
Li Chen could understand this request from the Nine-headed Sea Emperor.
However, he did not have the True Dragon Dragon Pearl now and could not make this trade with the Sea Emperor.
Reasonable enough, the Sea Emperor said it did not need to be delivered now, but within a hundred years a True Dragon Dragon Pearl should be given to him.
Without thinking, Li Chen agreed right away.
"Alright, I promise you the True Dragon Dragon Pearl. Now, where is the ninth Yu Emperorβs Treasure Cauldron hidden?"
The Nine-headed Sea Emperor hesitated for a moment and then said to Li Chen, "The reason you canβt find the ninth Yu Emperorβs Treasure Cauldron is because it is not on Earth at all!"
Li Chen was surprised and eagerly asked, "Not on Earth? Then where is it?"
The Nine-headed Sea Emperor raised his head and replied quietly, "In the sky, on the far side of the moon!"
Li Chen looked utterly stunned.
"The far side of the moon?"
The Nine-headed Sea Emperor nodded solemnly and confirmed, "Yes, on the far side of the moon!"
Then, the Nine-headed Sea Emperor explained the hidden history to Li Chen in detail.
In ancient times, floods raged and fierce beasts ran rampant, leaving people in dire straits. To save the people, Emperor Yu led the tribes in battle across the land.
Moreover, Emperor Yu used the nine cauldrons to construct a teleportation array, transferring many fierce beasts from Earth to the far side of the moon, letting them face meteor impacts and perish naturally.
To prevent those beasts from escaping, Emperor Yu left a Treasure Tripod on the Moon Crater to guard it.
Of course, this method worked on ordinary fierce beasts but had no effect on overlord-level beasts such as Taotie, the Sea Emperor, or the Forest Python.
Therefore, facing creatures like Taotie and the Sea Emperor, Emperor Yu chose to defeat and suppress them with the Treasure Tripods one by one.
After listening to the Sea Emperorβs tale, Li Chen pondered and subconsciously looked up at the sky.
It seemed he indeed needed to make a journey to the moon!
The distance from Earth to the moon is approximately 384,000 kilometers.
At his current speed, traveling day and night, it would take about a month.
Though itβs feasible for Li Chen, the risk is high. A minor mistake could lead to death in the vast universe.
Therefore, preparations must be thorough before heading to the moon!
As Li Chen was deep in thought, the Nine-headed Sea Emperor suddenly spoke:
"Alright, Iβve told you everything I should. I hope Immortal Master Li keeps his word and doesnβt forget your promise!"
Li Chen came back to his senses and nodded at him, responding, "Donβt worry, I have always kept my promises. What Iβve promised you, Iβll never break!"
Immediately, Li Chen signed a hundred-year Soul Contract with the Nine-headed Sea Emperor.
With this contract, if the Sea Emperor betrays him, Li Chen has the means to obliterate its spirit and form.
Having signed the Soul Contract, Li Chen did not stay within the sea any longer and returned directly to Huaxia.
By this time, the sun was setting!
The fiery sun dyed the entire Pacific Ocean a vibrant red.
Suddenly!
A gust of sea breeze rose, lifting up waves of spray.
However, it soon returned to calm.
Everything seemed as if it had never happened.
Watching this somewhat desolate scene, a bitter smile suddenly appeared on the Nine-headed Sea Emperorβs face.
This scene was so similar to back then.
Only now, Emperor Yu had been replaced by Li Chen.
And he was no longer his past self.
At least, his former self would never have submitted so easily.
Otherwise, he would not have been suppressed by Emperor Yu at the Bottom of the Sea for thousands of years, never seeing the light of day.
Did he become fearful, or simply more astute?
Suddenly, the Sea Emperor recalled a classic human saying.
"A wise man adapts to circumstances!"
Today, he adapted to circumstances and might be considered a wise man.
Thinking of this, another bitter smile unintentionally crept onto the Sea Emperorβs face.
He finally understood why humans, whose strength pales by comparison to the Sea Clan, Demon Clan, and Barbarians, could defeat such formidable enemies one by one and dominate this plane world.
Because humans possess something unattainable to them.
That thing is called: wisdom!
From today, the era of the Sea Emperor would sunset just like this sunset.
Meanwhile, a new legend named "Immortal Master Li" was rising.
Perhaps, this legendary star would soon surpass Emperor Yu, becoming an immortal legend in this plane of the world...
