Chapter 844: Heavenly Oath

“If it makes things better, I can go first.” Tang Zheng said when he noticed their hesitancy.

However, they weren’t hesitant because they had planned on telling Qian Chu about Yuan’s plan to remove him from his position.

They were hesitant because a Heavenly Oath would mark their soul, and anything that is related to the soul is an extreme risk for any cultivators. Unless it was absolutely necessary, nobody would dare to take such risks.

“I-I am willing to do a Heavenly Oath since I know that I won’t say anything.” Yan Hara said a moment later.

“If you do it, then I will do it as well.” Wan Yu nodded.

Yuan then said, “You guys really don’t need to do this… If I didn’t trust you guys, I wouldn’t have said anything out loud.”

“Little founder, this is not just about you. This is also about our trust for each other. He clearly doesn’t trust me, but I don’t blame him since I don’t trust him either.” Yan Hara said.

Wan Yu nodded, agreeing with Yan Hara’s words.

“Then allow me to start.”

Tang Zheng raised his hand above his head and spoke, “With Heaven as my witness, I swear that I will not tell anyone that isn’t here right now about what just happened. If I break this oath, may the Heavens shatter my soul as punishment.”

A golden light flickered on Tang Zheng’s forehead the next second, which meant that the Heavenly Oath was a success.

Yan Hara and Wan Yu followed suit after Tang Zheng by making their own oath.

“There. Are you happy now?” Van Hara glared at Wan Yu afterward.

“Yes, very happy.” Wan Yu shrugged.

He then turned to look at Yuan and said, “Anyways, if you truly intend on removing Wan Chu from his position, don’t wait too long because the Demon Sealing Grotto definitely won’t be waiting for you.”

Yuan nodded, and he asked, “Do you }mow when the Demon Sealing Grotto might act?”

“Well, as heated as things are right now, I doubt anything significant would happen for a few more years. This is a very sensitive situation that could result In war between the two clans. However, I wouldn’t bet on anything. We don’t know what Qian Chu has planned, after all.”

“I will figure something out. You guys can just continue your life as normal.” Yuan said.

“Normal, huh? I think it’s a little too late for that Tang Zheng sighed.

“What are you going to do now?” Yan Hara asked him.

“I am going to focus on increasing my own strength,” he said.

“If you need anything, you can contact me.”

“Anyways, do you want to visit the treasury now to redeem your points, or do you want to do it later? You have one year to use them before they are no longer valid.” Wan Yu asked him sometime later.

“I want to do it now.” Yuan said.

“Alright. Follow us.”

Yuan nodded and proceeded to follow them to this secluded area behind the Grand Library, where a small pagoda was located.

Sitting In front of this building was an old man, who appeared to be cultivating.

Once they got close enough, the old man opened his eyes and spoke without opening his mouth, his calm voice resounding very clearly in their heads, “What do you want?”

“He’s here to redeem his points.” Wan Yu said.

The old man narrowed his gaze at Yuan for a moment before gesturing for him.

“Go ahead. Well wait for you out here.” Yan Hara said to him.

Yuan nodded and approached the old man

“Show me your necklace.”

Yuan removed the necklace from the examination and handed it to the old man.

“Hm?!”

The old man’s eyes widened with surprise after seeing how many points Yuan had acquired.

He turned to look at Yan Hara and the others with a look of disbelief on his face.

“It’s real, Senior.” Wan Yu said with a smile on his face.

‘There should only be enough demons within the Demons’ Valley to acquire 1,500 points, but the fact that you have 2,211 points must mean that you have managed to defeat the Abomination…” The old man muttered in a low voice.

He then placed the necklace on his forehead and closed his eyes.

The necklace suddenly began glowing, and Yuan’s fight with the Abomination that it had recorded replayed inside the old man’s head.

“The technique you used to create those golden swords… What Is it called?” The old man asked Yuan with a serious expression on his face.

“Swords of Binding Light.” Yuan responded without hesitation.

“Are you sure it’s not called Swords of Eternal Torment?” The old man narrowed his eyes.

“Swords of Eternal Torment? What’s that?” Yuan raised his eyebrows in a puzzled manner, looking like he’d genuinely never heard of such a technique before.

Seeing Yuan’s reaction, the old man shook his head, “Forget it.”

‘Somebody probably took inspiration from Swords of Eternal Torment for their own technique. It happens quite often…. He sighed inwardly.

“Alright, follow me.” The old man stood up and led Yuan into the pagoda.

Once inside the pagoda, Yuan was greeted by hundreds of treasures on display on the ground and even on the walls.

“You have an hour. Do not touch any of the treasures. They are protected by a powerful array. If you want a treasure, let me know, unless you want to experience the power of these arrays.” The old man said to him.

Yuan nodded and immediately began looking at the demon sealing treasures.

Most of the treasures there required between too to 500 points, so Yuan could potentially acquire 20 treasures from that place if he picked only the cheapest treasures.

However, he didn’t do that. In fact, he wasn’t interested in any of the treasures there.

After a quick walkthrough around the room, Yuan turned to look at the old man and said, “None of these treasures interest me. I want to take a look at the treasures on the next floor…”
