Chapter 1606: Chapter 1606: Who’s the Best at Pie-in-the-Sky Promises? (1/4)

Originally, the Seven-star White Tiger Clan was a force that could match the Kirin Clan in terms of high-level combat power.

Hence, they were recognized as the second-ranked power among the Four Great Beast Clans.

However, four thousand years ago, during a war that broke out over a secret realm, the Four Great Beast Clans plunged into a chaotic battle. In the end, after a fierce fight lasting seven days and six nights between the Ancestor of the Seven-star White Tiger Clan and the Ancestor of the Kirin Clan,

the Kirin Ancestor eventually emerged victorious, while the Ancestor of the Seven-star White Tiger Clan suffered fundamental injuries.

Eventually, a few days later, he died because of his wounds, vanishing from the path he had followed.

This news is basically common knowledge among all the Four Great Beast Clans.

Therefore, the Seven-star White Tiger Clan could only compete with the Bi Fang Clan and the Qiongqi Clan, and when facing the Kirin Clan, they no longer had the ability to contend.

However,

upon hearing the ancient voice from within the waterfall at this moment, not only the members of the Seven-star White Tiger Clan were startled.

Bi Yan of the Bi Fang Clan, Zhou Liu of the Qiongqi Clan,

and Qi Wu all had faces filled with shock.

The Ancestor of the Seven-star White Tiger Clan was actually not dead?

This piece of intelligence was extremely important.

Yet, Lu Changsheng paid no heed to the astonishment of others, but looked towards the waterfall and smiled, saying: "Coming out for a talk?"

The Clan Leader then said with a gloomy face: "Ancestor, you must not!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the waterfall parted from the center towards the sides, revealing a cave dwelling isolated by a formation barrier.

Within the cave dwelling, as the sound of light footsteps grew closer, an old man, leaning on a walking stick, with a hunchback and a face full of wrinkles, slowly appeared at the entrance.

However,

this old man did not possess the characteristic rich blood qi of the Seven-star White Tiger Clan; instead, he was shrouded in the aura of twilight, with a wisp of death creeping over him, on the verge of passing away.

The Ancestor stepped out of the cave dwelling, came in front of Lu Changsheng, and gestured with a wave of his hand to the Clan Leader who wanted to say something, indicating for him not to worry.

Only then did the Clan Leader close his mouth, but he stood by the Ancestor’s side with his frail body, glaring fiercely at Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng spread his hands and said, "There’s no need to be so wary of me; if I really wanted to make a move, would I need to take such a big detour?"

Indeed.

If Lu Changsheng had the intent to kill, the Seven-star White Tiger Clan Chief would already be dead.

The Ancestor also nodded and said: "Your Excellency’s words are very true, but we do not know what exactly it is that you want? With your strength, you don’t need to bother with something as fruitless and troublesome as controlling the entire Demon Beast Continent."

To want to control the entire Demon Beast Continent, the price to be paid is not small.

"Moreover, it’s not just our Seven-star White Tiger Clan, the other Beast Races would not agree so easily either, and you should understand that, right?"

That’s one of the costs; even if one has the power to subdue, for the naturally proud Beast Race, they might bow their heads to suppression by their own kind, but Lu Changsheng is a human expert, after all!

Unless their interests are sufficiently enticed, they would choose death over submission.

Lu Changsheng nodded: "I understand."

"So what can you bring to us?" inquired the Ancestor.

Lu Changsheng sighed, turned his head to look at Xu Yeming, and said, "Kid, if you don’t properly honor your master in the future, I’ll make sure you won’t dare to sit comfortably ever again! By then, forget about unlocking any other postures!"

Xu Yeming: "???"

Although he was moved by what his master had done for him, why did this statement from his master make him feel suddenly speechless?

Blackie patted Xu Yeming’s shoulder and said, "It’s fine, you’ll get used to it."

"Cough cough!"

Following the cough of the White Tiger Ancestor, Lu Changsheng turned his head back and approached the Ancestor.

The eyes of the White Tiger Clan Chief tightened as he hurriedly moved forward to stop Lu Changsheng, but heard the Ancestor say, "It’s fine."

Under the tense stares of everyone present, Lu Changsheng reached out and placed his hand on the Ancestor’s shoulder.

After sensing for a little while, he then said: "I can heal this injury of yours."

The Ancestor’s eyes lit up.

The White Tiger Clan Chief also exclaimed with surprise, "Really?"

However, he immediately frowned and questioned, "I’ve spent over a thousand years traversing both the Demon Beast Continent and the Cangxuan Continent and haven’t found a way. You think you can?"

"You think you can do better?" Lu Changsheng retorted.

The White Tiger Clan Chief clenched his fists.

"But, just this alone may not be enough to convince our Seven-star White Tiger Clan," the Ancestor shook his head after a brief moment of surprise, "After all, I cannot just sacrifice the pride of the entire Seven-star White Tiger Clan for the sake of my old self."

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow: "Pride? In my view, there are times when pride is just something that can be traded for more benefits when one lowers their head."

"You do see through a lot," the Ancestor did not refute, "With our Seven-star White Tiger Clan’s pride, we should be able to exchange for quite a high stake, right?"

Lu Changsheng did not respond.

Instead, he glanced around and promptly waved his hand to set up a barrier of isolation.

Encapsulating the Ancestor and the White Tiger Clan Chief within it.

Those outside could definitely not hear any sound from within.

Watching this scene, both the Ancestor and the Clan Chief’s expressions grew stern.

Even those among the Cangxuan Continent with the highest mastery of formations could not casually create a barrier of isolation at this level.

To be on the safe side.

Even with the isolation barrier in place, Lu Changsheng still chose to communicate through a transmitted message: "The great calamity of the six worlds is imminent."

The great calamity of the six worlds?

The Clan Chief was startled.

The Ancestor, however, did not show such an exaggerated expression; he only looked grave.

"Hm? You know about it?" Seeing his expression, Lu Changsheng asked.

The Ancestor nodded: "At our level, there are some things that can be somewhat sensed instinctively."

"When a great calamity is about to occur in an era, there are often omens, a natural law."

"These days whether it’s the emergence of the Son of Buddha and the dissolution of the Buddhist Sect on the Cangxuan Continent..."

Before the Ancestor could finish, Lu Changsheng interjected with an ’Oh’: "Oh, that was orchestrated by my disciple."

The Ancestor: "..." gave Lu Changsheng a deep look before continuing, "Or the emergence of the Heavenly Prides from various ancient hidden sects and aristocratic families."

"As well as the sporadic uprisings happening on the Demon Beast Continent or the various mystic realm inheritances."

"And the Classic of Mountains and Seas..."

As he said this, the Ancestor glanced over at Xu Yeming outside the formation.

"However... even so, what exactly do you want to do?"

Lu Changsheng shrugged and said, "Whether you believe it or not, the great calamity of the six worlds will likely be led by my disciples, and gaining control over the Demon Beast Continent is also for that brat Xu Yeming."

"As long as you serve him, you’ll essentially be serving me."

"Firstly, the blood essence of all of you here will be exchanged for the most pure and orthodox bloodline."

"Second, during the great calamity, I assure you of survival and the ability to maintain your forces until after the calamity. You should also understand the significance of powers that survive after a great calamity."

"There’s also, for instance, strength... medicinal pills... formations." Lu Changsheng rattled off a whole string of things.

He didn’t give the Clan Chief or the Ancestor a chance to interject, so they could only watch Lu Changsheng, their eyes trembling with madness, their hearts pounding with excitement...

That’s right.

Compared to Earth, the cultivation world has it better in every regard; whether it’s being powerful, living longer, or having more beautiful women, etc., everything surpasses Earth.

But there is one thing... where it falls far short of Earth.

That is, drawing pies in the sky...

Moreover, Lu Changsheng comes from a certain mysterious oriental country with a mystical power.
