Chapter 539: To Sway The Villain.
"This room is the throne room of this grand castle, and the test location of The Soul Test, but. it is also the place imprisoning A great evil.
"When I was alive, and attempted to go against the heaven tribulation into the Divine Realm, I had not prepared enough and was ignorant and proud of my capabilities. I believed that with my cultivation and my war hammer, I could face the Heaven Tribulation, I was wrong."
As Daven explained, Chiron could actually see the regret still reflected in her expression.
"And so I begged the heavens to give me another chance and spare my existence. After all, if a cultivator were to die during a heaven tribulation, that would be the end of them.
Their souls will no more chance on the circle of rebirth. It is the punishment for cultivating and challenging the Holy Dao. meaning that When I died, the only hope I had was in becoming precious land spirit and even that was on condition, not every cultivator of the peak gold rank will die and become a precious Spirit.
The Extracting and Turning process is incredibly painful, both to the soul and the body. The pain can even leave a Precious spirit in a maddening state for a couple of years after the change.
And so I begged the heavens for help, and by some miracle, the divine agreed to lend me aid. But it was all for a condition. You see, in that time, ten thousand years ago, those that walked the earth were very very mighty.
The amount of Gold cultivators were much and warriors littered the earth like sands of a beach. After all, the spiritual energy in the air was incredibly thick. One did not even need to awaken to reach my level of strength, just determination and relentless training.
But of course, many did not attempt to challenge the Heaven tribulation that led into the divine.
It was only a display of foolishness.
Which can only happen if a person passes my tests, each one a representation of my regrets in life. After all, If I had tampered my body, my mind, and then My soul, then I would have been able to withstand the wrath of the heavens.
If it were other precious lands, they would have been reasorbed back into the world. However, the divine helped me, shielded me aaginst the eyes of the heaven, and that is how I have stood against the test of time."
Chiron could not help but have one of his eyes twitch in sheer annoyance. He had only asked for information on Manu madayaki, but this Precious land spirit had told him a story he was absolutely not interested in.
All he wanted was power, and the precious land spirit was being unnecessarily chatty with him.
He could not help but sigh heavily.
"I want to take the Test of Soul." Chiron stated firmly.
"Didn’t you listen!?" davis spoke up with her panicking voice, "....Its... Its... a great evil. You will die a fools death. Please don’t do it!"
"You can always just take treasures and walk away. I’ll even gift you my war hammer. It is made out of my heart and it commands all the other treasures. I saw your battle with that child that used the Hatchet. I know, you want to get your revenge on him. With My War hammer, you can even command his weapon against him.
And then you can rule this land, and have any Orc you want in your bed, male or female, they will worship you forever."
Chiron could not help but feel like those cliché books in his past life were the protagonist was usually offered a bunch of material things to sway him from his goal, including wealth and women...
