Eternal Life Starts from Tai Chi

Chapter 364: The Divine Continent Will Submit at Your Feet

Yang Chan faced the unknown Black Dragon with great enthusiasm, acting as if he completely trusted it and was offering the best possible advice.

He even went out of his way to recommend several people with better Talent, his sincerity practically radiating from him.

"Lord Black Dragon, what do you think?"

Yang Chan asked, looking at the Black Dragon with a sincere expression.

"I have seen countless geniuses, and you are quite decent among them."

"It’s rare to find someone who catches my eye. You’re the one, kid."

"Come, I don’t have much time left. I will give you the entire inheritance and grant you a limitless future."

"The inheritance of the Profound Celestial Divine Monarch is exceedingly rare on the Taiyu Divine Continent. If you can master it, your future will be boundless. You might even have a chance to leave the Taiyu Divine Continent."

A strange light flashed in the Black Dragon’s enormous eyes. It once again dangled the inheritance as bait, offering even more information.

Greed is a part of human nature. As long as it was exploited properly, one could achieve their goals.

Although this person before it was cautious, his bone age was too young. As long as it used enough persuasive words and offered a prize too great to refuse, he would surely forget the danger.

It had seen far too many people die fighting over the smallest of opportunities.

"I thank you for your high praise, Lord Black Dragon. But what is this Taiyu Divine Continent you speak of?"

Yang Chan’s brow twitched slightly as he asked about the matter that interested him.

It was the first time he had ever heard the name Taiyu Divine Continent, but from the Black Dragon’s tone, it seemed to be the continent he was currently on.

Yang Chan had never come across this information before, so he was naturally very interested.

He put on a fittingly concerned expression, even looking like he wanted to continue the topic.

"This land we are on is the Taiyu Divine Continent. In ancient times, mighty figures presided over it, but alas, a great change befell the world, and all those mighty figures have since left."

"Now, I estimate it is difficult to become a Divine Being."

The Black Dragon naturally went along with the conversation, but it didn’t say much and kept its words vague.

Keeping certain information vague was a better way to pique one’s interest.

"I wonder what has become of this world now?"

"Kid, your luck is quite good. By obtaining the inheritance of the Profound Celestial Divine Monarch, you could break the shackles of this world, forge a Divine Body, and become a new Divine Being."

"After passing the inheritance to you, I will be able to take one last look at this world before I must pass on."

A look of regret appeared on the Black Dragon’s face as it brought up the inheritance again, ending its plea by claiming its life was almost over.

This routine might be unfamiliar to the people of this world, but to Yang Chan, it was looking more and more like a classic scam—a very common one, in fact.

He had seen plenty of them in his past life and knew all sorts of ways to deal with them.

A mix of good fortune and a tragic fate could always evoke sympathy, as well as greed.

"I never imagined you were in such a situation, Lord Black Dragon. If receiving the inheritance means you will die, then that is something I could never do."

"Please, Lord Black Dragon, give me the Black Mala. I will go outside and find a National Guardian Martial Saint to come in and help extend your life, Senior."

"No matter how powerful the Profound Celestial Divine Monarch was, his legacy is not as important as your life, Lord Black Dragon."

"The inheritance is just a lifeless object. It wouldn’t matter even if it disappeared. Only if you remain, Lord Black Dragon, can there be a brighter future."

’So it’s just a PUA game? As if I don’t know how to play. I’ll even be better at it.’

And just as his words fell, the Black Dragon’s face filled with gratitude, looking as if it was about to weep tears of joy.

"With those words from you, kid, my death would be worth it. Come here, kid, and I will pass on the entire inheritance to you."

"From the looks of you, you must not be valued in your Sect. Once you have my inheritance, the likes of Liu Shengyu, Cai Kun, or any Holy Son and Holy Daughter will be nothing."

"Even the so-called Martial Saints won’t be able to compare to a single one of your fingers."

"They will all be ants you can crush at will."

"The entire Taiyu Divine Continent will kneel at your feet, at your command."

The Black Dragon’s eyes were filled with emotion, and it acted as if Yang Chan was the only one it would ever choose, all while painting a picture of an even more glorious future for him.

’Why did he recommend others at first? Wasn’t it because he lacked confidence in his own Talent, or because he felt inferior in the face of those stronger than him?’

Since that was the case, it naturally changed its approach, aiming to stir the resentment and greed in the boy’s heart once more.

"To think you feel that way, Lord Black Dragon, truly moves me. Since you are in such a state, how could I possibly let you throw your life away?"

"I don’t know how long it’s been since someone cared for me as you do, Lord Black Dragon."

"Rest assured, Lord Black Dragon. After I leave this space, I will definitely find my Sect’s ancestors and have them work together to rescue you."

"Someone as good as you, Lord Black Dragon, cannot be allowed to perish in this space."

Yang Chan said with a determined look on his face.

His personality was ’stubborn’; he just wouldn’t do it.

"Lord Black Dragon, give me the Black Mala, and I’ll go find people for you right now. We’ll smash this tower and break the seal on you."

Yet Yang Chan’s gaze was fixed on the Black Mala hanging on the Black Dragon, and his feet didn’t move an inch.

"Kid, I said, come here!"

After its attempts failed again and again, the Black Dragon’s expression instantly turned grim. Its gentle tone vanished, replaced by an icy chill.

Before, it had tried all sorts of temptations, but now it was giving a direct command.

It realized that its soft words couldn’t lure Yang Chan closer, so it had to change its method and try a forceful tone.

Some people deeply respect their teachers and elders; gentle words have no effect on them, whereas a forceful command can get the job done.

Since its previous tactic had failed to achieve its goal, it would simply try another way.

"I’m not coming over. Lord Black Dragon, just give me the mala!"

Yang Chan turned his head away, his feet remaining firmly planted, as if he were the one in chains.

CLANK!

The Black Dragon’s body moved, trying to fly out, but it was restrained by a series of chains, unable to get far.

Seeing this from a distance, a strange light flashed in Yang Chan’s eyes. This situation was more or less what he had expected. His earlier probing had been to confirm the Black Dragon’s capabilities, which was why he had been feigning compliance all along.

"Lord Black Dragon, don’t waste your energy. You can’t break free. Just give me the Black Mala, and I’ll go find experts in the outside world to sever your chains."

After confirming his suspicions, Yang Chan’s attitude changed subtly, and his face broke into a very sincere smile.

The Black Dragon was the source of danger he had sensed earlier, but as long as it couldn’t attack him, it didn’t pose much of a threat.

Therefore, he was even more determined not to let it have its way. He would not get close to it, no matter what.

It was highly likely that the Black Dragon had a way to deal with him once he got close—a method that could very well endanger his life.

Yang Chan cared deeply about his safety and was unwilling to get closer to test it, because his life was very important.
