NOVPUBAlong the way, Shi Jingtian had also collected a great number of treasures, including Spirit Grass, Spiritual Medicine, and a large collection of Martial Arts Secret Manuals, a massive haul.
However, what Shi Jingtian valued most was the Divine Seed left by the Yellow Stone Ancestor.
As far as Shi Jingtian knew, the Yellow Stone Ancestor had reached the second layer of the Entering Saint stage, possessing two Divine Seeds, one of which Shi Jingtian greatly valued and was indeed his main purpose for coming here!
Shi Jingtian looked at the Gold Armor Puppet in front of him. He felt the presence of the Divine Seed within this Gold Armor Puppet, left by the Yellow Stone Ancestor, and if Li Song could not deceive the Gold Armor Puppet with his Divine Skills of "Painting Becomes Reality", then he would have to forcibly intervene, even if it required more effort.
But what relieved Shi Jingtian was that this Gold Armor Puppet was not a real living being, but merely a puppet, acting completely according to the rules. It glanced at the activated ’Yellow Stone Order’ and said in a mechanical voice, "Being able to activate the Yellow Stone Order, you are indeed a descendant of the Yellow Stone Ancestor’s bloodline. Since you have reached this place, the Divine Seed he left behind will belong to you."
As the words fell, two Divine Seeds flew out from between the eyebrows of the Gold Armor Puppet.
These two Divine Seeds, one enveloped in whirling sand, the other rusty and speckled, appearing like iron, yet also like stone.
Li Song reached out and caught them. The mechanical voice of the Gold Armor Puppet resounded, "These two Divine Seeds are left by the Yellow Stone Ancestor for his posterity, the first is ’Gathering Sand into Spirit’, the second is ’Turning Stone into Gold’... I hope you use them well and do not tarnish the ancestor’s reputation..."
The voice of the Gold Armor Puppet grew fainter, and losing the two Divine Seeds, its body gradually crumbled, turning into a heap of yellow sand, and completely dissipated.
"Hand them over!"
Shi Jingtian could no longer hide the smile on his face as he directed Li Song to hand over the two Divine Seeds.
But unexpectedly, Li Song quickly retreated, his face filled with wariness. Blood oozed from his fingers as he forcefully drew a dark crack in the air with a brush-like motion, and deep within the crack lay the boundless Chaotic Void.
Li Song shouted angrily, "Shi Jingtian! Don’t come any closer, or I will throw these two Divine Seeds into the Chaotic Void, and you’ll get nothing!"
Shi Jingtian’s expression darkened, his eyes gleaming venomously, "What do you mean?"
"Shi Jingtian, I want you to take a poisonous oath, swearing upon your future foundations in Martial Arts, to leave our Li Family alone, or I will throw away these two Divine Seeds, leaving you with nothing but wasted effort!"
Li Song spoke sternly, his hand clutching the Divine Seeds near the dark crack, ready to throw the Divine Seeds into the Chaotic Void if Shi Jingtian made any sudden move. Deep in the Chaotic Void, even a Martial Saint would get lost without special means, much like a non-swimmer jumping into the vast sea.
Li Song’s intention was naturally to protect the Li Family. He understood that Shi Jingtian might not keep a promise to spare the Li Family, so he used the two Divine Seeds as leverage to force Shi Jingtian to swear the oath. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
If broken, Shi Jingtian might develop a demon, thus facing great difficulties in progressing on the path of Martial Arts ever after!
Hearing this, Shi Jingtian sighed and said, "Head of Li Family, is this really how you see me?"
Li Song remained silent; previously, in order to coerce Li Song into submission, Shi Jingtian had allowed his subordinates to smash several of the Li Family members who had been turned into stone sculptures right in front of him.
Seeing this, Shi Jingtian shook his head, speaking solemnly, "I, Shi Jingtian, swear! From now on, my Shi Family will not trouble the Li Family in the slightest. If I break this oath, may thunder strike me down, and may my path in Martial Arts be utterly blocked, without an inch of progress!"
Having sworn the poisonous oath, Shi Jingtian looked at Li Song and said helplessly, "Head of Li Family, can you be at ease now? I was only after the Divine Seeds left by the Yellow Stone Ancestor."
Having sworn the oath, Li Song finally relaxed slightly. Ultimately, he couldn’t bring himself to throw the two Divine Seeds into the Chaotic Void. If he really did so, it would mean utterly breaking ties, and an enraged Shi Jingtian would undoubtedly seek to annihilate the Li Family’s lineage.
