"I have a matter weighing on my mind, one that concerns my life. If I cannot accomplish it, I will not survive for three years." Facing the intrigued gaze of the Crane-Haired Man, Bu Tian took a deep breath and bowed sincerely.
"Oh? Is that so?" The Crane-Haired Man raised his eyebrows, showing curiosity.
"I must personally kill the guardian beast of the Holy Radiance Empire—Nicolothus—to use its dragon blood to dispel the curse within my body," Bu Tian stated calmly, without a hint of embarrassment.
"You carry a curse within you?" The Crane-Haired Man did not frown at the mention of killing the guardian beast; instead, he focused on Bu Tian's curse. His powerful consciousness transformed into a wisp of smoke that entered Bu Tian's body and explored for a moment before retracting.
"What kind of curse is it?" Within Bu Tian, the Crane-Haired Man found no trace of a curse. However, he understood that curses are often elusive and unpredictable. Despite his immense power, he had not studied curses extensively, so it was not surprising that he could not detect one.
With his strength, if Bu Tian were lying, he would easily discern the truth. Observing Bu Tian, he found that the claim of not surviving for three years was indeed not false.
In response to the Crane-Haired Man's question, Bu Tian shook his head and chose not to elaborate further. He knew that speaking too much could lead to mistakes. Facing such an old monster, every word could reveal some clue; it was better to say less.
"Very well. Although Nicolothus is the guardian beast of the Holy Radiance Empire, its strength is not formidable; it is merely at the transcendent level and can be easily destroyed. If I assist you in subduing it, killing it will not be difficult. However, this matter must be handled discreetly; otherwise, that Old Guy is not someone to be trifled with..."
After contemplating for a moment, the Crane-Haired Man slowly nodded at Bu Tian in agreement.
Bu Tian's eyes flickered with surprise; he did not expect the other party to agree to such an extraordinary request. The way he acted suggested that this matter was trivial to him. While surprised internally, Bu Tian maintained a composed exterior and once again bowed sincerely before gradually bringing up Wendy's situation.
"The Water Temple..." Upon hearing what Bu Tian had described, the Crane-Haired Man furrowed his brow for the first time. After pondering for a while, he looked back at Bu Tian with a bitter smile and shook his head. "I didn't expect your concern to be increasingly troublesome..."
"Can't you force back the strong ones from the Water Temple?" This time, Bu Tian grew anxious, his tone becoming urgent. What mattered most to him was not killing Nicolothus but whether he could protect Wendy from being taken away by those from the Water Temple.
"This matter..." The Crane-Haired Man paused, "I can help you with this. Currently, there are indeed no strong figures stationed within the Water Temple, but this Water Temple has a deep connection with a Great Sect from the Upper Realm... sigh, never mind. As long as you can handle the tasks I assign to you, I will personally drive away anyone from the Water Temple."
"Thank you, senior!" Bu Tian expressed his heartfelt gratitude this time. He did not understand what kind of concept the Great Sect from the Upper Realm represented, but it must be significant if even the Crane-Haired Man felt apprehensive about it. However, the fact that he agreed was a favor.
"I still have two concerns..."
"Fellow, do you perhaps have more troublesome matters?" Upon hearing that Bu Tian had more concerns, the Crane-Haired Man could no longer sit still. His eyes suddenly shone brightly as he fixed his gaze on Bu Tian, clearly displeased.
"Ahem..." Even with Bu Tian's thick skin, he couldn't help but blush at the other's reaction. He quickly waved his hands and said, "These two concerns are not troublesome. If senior can agree, I can resolve them myself."
"What is it?" The Crane-Haired Man's tone had grown impatient.
"Before completing what you assigned me, could you give me some time? I promised someone that I would help him enter the Void Temple to retrieve something... and I also need to return to Crook Duchy to visit the Aldra Family..."
"Impossible! There is no room for negotiation on this matter." Before Bu Tian could finish speaking, the Crane-Haired Man had already rejected him outright. He continued, "The task I assigned you is urgent. You were not my original choice; I initially intended for Bin to handle it. But now that you are here, it is most prudent for you to take care of it...
Now we are in the last three days of the final year; you have at most two days to settle your personal matters. As for the Void Temple and that Aldra Family business, let it go. If you still feel unable to manage it, I will handle those matters for you."
"This... Senior, considering your age, you must be over a hundred years old. Can you even enter the Void Temple?" Bu Tian hadn't anticipated such urgency. However, letting someone down was difficult for him. Most importantly, since the Crane-Haired Man was being so accommodating, he figured he might as well negotiate a bit more.
"I indeed cannot enter the Void Temple. This temple was established by the Star God of Fran Continent; with my abilities, I cannot break through the rules set by the Star God. However, I can entrust this task to Bin instead; would that satisfy you?"
"Also, regarding that Aldra Family you mentioned, I seem to have some vague recollection of them. This family had an extraordinary encounter and was a prominent family a thousand years ago. However, based on your description, they have likely declined. There may be some secrets within them, but compared to the task I've assigned you, those secrets are not worth your time."
After finishing all his words in one breath, the Crane-Haired Man grew tired of further discussion. Without waiting for Bu Tian's agreement, he suddenly waved his sleeve and enveloped Bu Tian's figure within it. Stepping into the void caused spatial ripples to appear as circles of waves emerged, and in an instant, both figures vanished toward the distant Holy Radiance Empire.
Two days later, within the space of the Fran Continent's spatial festival, Bu Tian donned a blood-red robe, with powerful energy surging around him like a tide. His strength had reached the level of Intermediate 5, and judging by the substantial nature of his energy, it was evident that he had opened at least four hundred Acupoints. Beside him stood a man with skin covered in Silver Runes, his expression calm.
"After absorbing the blood of Nicolothus, your strength has increased remarkably, but this may lead to an unstable foundation. However, it is not a problem. As long as you go to the Upper Realm Sacred Sect and cultivate there for a few months, you will surely stabilize your power quickly...
Just remember, despite your current strength and the precious treasures I have given you, you can escape from super-tier experts. But the Upper Realm is not like the Fran Continent. There are countless experts within it, many with strength similar to mine. If you do not learn to keep a low profile, you will be eliminated in an instant."
Looking at the rows of shimmering gates leading to unknown destinations, the Crane-Haired Man spoke seriously, advising Bu Tian.
"I understand. I will remember everything you told me. But Sakun senior, please do not forget about my matters."
As he gazed at these familiar yet strange gates, Bu Tian felt a wave of emotion. He never expected to encounter these gates again after his previous life. However, finding the gate that led back to his original world among billions of others was incredibly difficult.
"Don't worry. With me here, none of your friends will come to harm until you complete your mission and return. I will wait for you in the Fran Continent." The man named Sakun smiled and waved at Bu Tian. In an instant, a pulling force emanated from a towering gate of light, enveloping Bu Tian. As his figure was covered, a flash of light occurred.
"Wait for me to return!"
At the moment his figure disappeared into the towering gate of light, Bu Tian's voice echoed out, marking the beginning of his journey to the Upper Realm Sacred Sect.
