Cosmic Trading System

Chapter 712: Chu Lee's Promise



Seeing how Xiao Chong and his company spoke and acted, Lin Yun felt deeply moved in his heart.

He knew what a significant risk this was for Xiao Chong and his group.

As he traversed the universe during this period, he became increasingly aware of the deterrence the Immortal Origin Holy Land held over these cosmic Super Warriors. Few amongst those who knew of the Holy Land's power dared to oppose it.

At this moment, Lin Yun let go of a concern that had been troubling him.

Hiding his origins and interacting with Xiao Chong's group, causing them to misunderstand him, had been a constant concern for him.

However, even after letting go of this concern, he didn't feel relieved, but rather, his pressure intensified.

He understood that from this point forward, the fate of Xiao Chong's group was bound with theirs. If something bad were to happen, not only would it affect him and Xia Qingqing's group, but also Xiao Chong's group.

Lin Yun raised his head to watch the battle between Little Gold's mother and the messenger from the Holy Land.

In a short time, Little Gold's mother had beaten the messenger severely, causing him to falter on all sides.

"Master Lin, you shouldn't worry too much about the Immortal Origin Holy Land. Earth was once a playground of the Holy Land. Now, all the humans of the Holy Land have walked out of Earth. The relationship between Earth and the Holy Land is not simple. You coming from Earth is not much different from originating from the Holy Land.

The higher-ups of the Holy Land might not necessarily discriminate against you..." Upon seeing a flicker of concern in Lin Yun's expression, Xiao Chong approached him and spoke quietly.

"How so?" Lin Yun turned his head to look at Xiao Chong.

"I've a feeling, not sure if it's correct or not, but earlier, when you were fighting this messenger from the Holy Land, he clearly wanted to prevent you from revealing your identity. He seemed intent on killing you before you could reveal your identity. Maybe...he was apprehensive about your identity being revealed!

That raises a problem, why would a prestigious messenger from the Holy Land, a powerful Super Warrior, dread your identity? There's a high chance that there are those who support you, or people like you, among the high ranks of the Holy Land!" Xiao Chong conveyed.

"Hmm?" Lin Yun was taken aback in his heart.

Indeed, experience is the best teacher. Xiao Chong, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, made Lin Yun aware of something he hadn't noticed before.

"Could it be the Sacred Mother?"

Lin Yun wondered.

Given the Sacred Mother's unique status, it was not impossible for her to have attained a high position in the Immortal Origin Holy Land. If the Sacred Mother had mentioned him in front of some high-ranking officials, it would be normal for them to know him.

If the Sacred Mother spoke a few words for him, or did something for him, it was bound to cause some to be discontent.

"Moreover, you said that Earth's technological power is very weak. However, the saints of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, advocated abandoning technological power to focus on cultivation. Otherwise, what kind of technological power could not have been obtained from the Ten Thousand Race Pilgrimage?

Even after the Immortal Origin Holy Land isolated itself, gleanings of technological knowledge or items were readily accessible. Even the harsh truth, back then, various technological powerhouses went to the Immortal Origin Holy Land and offered countless top-tier technological items.

If a little was leaked, it would greatly boost Earth's technological ability." Pausing for a moment, Xiao Chong continued.

"Nevertheless, the saints and powerful beings of the Immortal Origin Holy Land did not do this. Instead, they strictly isolated Earth at first. It is highly possible that they place tremendous importance on Earth. Therefore, the relationship between Earth and the Immortal Origin Holy Land might not be as tense as Master Lin believes.

I remember one of the saints saying that a true powerhouse must endure all sorts of trials to grow. Otherwise, he is not a true powerhouse. Could it be that the higher-ups of the Immortal Origin Holy Land are intentionally nurturing the humans of Earth?" A sharp light sparkled in Xiao Chong's eyes as he spoke.

"This..."

Lin Yun's expression fluctuated continuously.

It was undeniable, most of what Xiao Chong narrated was something he hadn't considered.

He had always believed that Earth and the Holy Land, one being the world of immortals and the other of mortals, were essentially two different worlds with little intersection.

Now, Xiao Chong's narration made him reconsider his assumptions.

There was a lot of logic in what Xiao Chong conveyed.

"Could it be that Earth is not a forsaken place for the Immortal Origin Holy Land?" Lin Yun mused.

"Abandoned? That's unlikely. As far as I know, after declaring its isolation, the Immortal Origin Holy Land set up a large array around Earth, so that no powerful force could enter the Star Domain at will. Master Lin, you not only came out from that Star Domain but also returned to it later. This kind of treatment isn't ordinary..." Xiao Chong suggested.

...

"Black Dragon King! Lord of All! I know you've always wanted to enter the Holy Land again and listen to the teachings of the saints! I promise you, as long as you assist me in dealing with this Golden Beast now, regardless of the outcome, I will take you to the Holy Land and let you listen to the divine chanting of the saints!"

As Lin Yun and Xiao Chong were communicating privately, the battle in the starry sky took another turn. Chu Lee, who was the Holy Land's messenger, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glanced at the Black Dragon King and Lord of All, and growled.

"This Golden Beast, it's really the Can from millions of years ago!"

"Yes, didn't expect it to break through to the fourth level of the Super tier. This is one of the topmost powers in the entire universe. If the saints don't intervene, it's practically invincible..."

"What should we do? Should we intervene now? We can't just stand by and watch as Can beats Master Lee to death, right?"

Meanwhile, the Black Dragon King and Lord of All were having an anxious discussion.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, they heard Chu Lee's promise and were all taken aback.

Chu Lee actually made such a promise?

They were instantly tempted.

If it were a mere trip to the Holy Land...they might have had some doubts...

Perhaps it would be a party they would never return from. As they watched the Super Golden Beast Can beat Chu Lee to his last breath, forcing him to make such a pledge, they couldn't help but question whether they would be able to return unscathed after going to the Holy Land.

However, Chu Lee promised them not only a trip to the Holy Land but also to listen to the divine chant of the saints. This was a massive commitment.

This promise was very specific.

At the level of power they possessed, they usually took promises very seriously.

As such, even if it indeed turned out to be a flawed gathering, they might still have to take the risk.

Listening to the divine chant of the saints... equivalent to hearing the teachings of the saints... Thousands of years ago, they missed the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at the Holy Land, and merely hearing some powerful individuals teach brought them tremendous benefits.

They knew from others' experiences that listening to the teachings of the saints led to significant progress for many who did. The progress some made was so formidable that it exceeded expectations.

If they too could listen to the teachings of the saints, it would be more than perfect.

Perhaps they could break through to the fourth level of the Super realm and stand at the very top of the entire universe, unmatched as long as the saints didn't challenge them.

This was an immense opportunity, and they were willing to take on some risks for it.
