Chapter 600: The Abyss Sea Reappears

"This matter is of great importance; can it be discussed another day?"

After a moment of thought, the Third Elder intended to gloss over it.

"No, a decision must be made."

Li Heng extended his palm and pushed, expressing his stance.

"This... very well! But allow me to go and return; it will only take the time of one stick of incense." The Third Elder gritted his teeth and said, having made up his mind.

"One stick of incense? Very well, go ahead."

Li Heng said calmly; he could not push too hard.

The Third Elder nodded, transformed into a streak of light, and escaped into the Void, concealing his tracks and confusing Causality, only heading toward the origin of the Ark after confirming Li Heng was not following.

The origin of the Ark.

The Great Elder and the Second Elder were still cultivating or refining around the origin of the Ark, waiting for their Alliance Leader to return. At this moment, the Third Elder tore through the Void and returned to this place, causing the two to frown.

"Third Elder, were you not supposed to be entertaining that Venerable? Why have you returned in your true form? Although our Multiverse Alliance does not fear a Venerable, we cannot be so impolite."

The Second Elder said calmly.

"You two do not know, this Venerable has a very large appetite."

The Third Elder shook his head helplessly and explained the matter of Li Heng to the two. After hearing it, the two fell into a silence; this was truly bold—daring to demand the origin of the Ark?

As an Outsider, by what right?

Even if he had barely joined the Multiverse Alliance and held the position of a Guest Elder, he had only just arrived, and the position of Guest Elder was merely a nominal one; how could he be so arrogant?

"The two of you, this Venerable is extremely purposeful. Could it be that he has already seen through some of the plans within our Alliance, and that is why he is arguing so?" The Third Elder spoke up, speculating.

"Since you knew, why let him join the Alliance?"

The Great Elder asked calmly in return.

"It was merely a possibility, whether large or small; how could one abandon a decision because of such an ethereal possibility? I believed that inviting him to join the Multiverse Alliance was the best method."

The Third Elder responded calmly.

"The most critical issue now is whether we should grant this Venerable a portion of the Ark's origin; please make a decision early, as he only gave me the time of one stick of incense."

He urged the two to express their stance.

The Great Elder and the Second Elder exchanged a glance and spoke in unison.

"Give it to him!"

Giving a portion of the Ark's origin to an Outsider of unknown origin, who is incomparably mysterious and possesses extreme strength, would indeed carry great risk, even bordering on self-destruction.

But for them, this was also an opportunity.

An opportunity to lure this Venerable into the trap!

"Third Elder, go back and say this is acceptable, but of course, only one-tenth of the Ark's origin can be given. Furthermore, tell him that because the Ark's origin is truly too precious, he must also do some things for our Multiverse Alliance; otherwise, it is out of the question."

The Great Elder said.

"Then what if he still does not agree, feels the Ark's origin is too little, or is unwilling to do things for our Alliance?"

The Third Elder asked.

"Then reject his request. Our Multiverse Alliance does not need to bow and scrape or make infinite concessions to a Venerable. The Alliance Leader will return soon, and I have just sent a message over; a Venerable cannot run wild in our Multiverse Alliance."

The Great Elder responded calmly.

"I remember that some steps in the plan are currently stuck, and it is related to that mysterious Abyss Sea. You can tell that Venerable that if he helps us solve the Abyss Sea, we can gift him the origin."

The Second Elder stated the specific steps.

What if the origin is given away? In any case, a Venerable will sooner or later be a prisoner of the Great Void or an Outsider of the Wuqiong Weizhi; it can be retrieved sooner or later, so there is no need to worry too much.

The Third Elder nodded; this was exactly what he intended.

"Since that is the case, I will use these words as a reply. However, for the sake of safety, you had best inform the Alliance Leader of these matters in advance to prevent accidents."

He cautioned the two and escaped from this place once more.

At this time, Li Heng was touring the Great Dao Ark, having arrived at the high point of the bow, dwelling at the peak, overlooking everything inside and outside the Great Dao Ark and the territory of the Multiverse Alliance.

Before long, he discovered that below, in a place that seemed to be a Dianjiangtai, large armies were constantly gathering, then marching along various Xukong Gulu, not knowing where they were going to wage war.

Li Heng raised an eyebrow.

Is the Multiverse Alliance not always sailing and fleeing for their lives? How could they still be engaged in such wars? Could it be that something has hindered the sailing or affairs of the Multiverse Alliance?

He even saw that every army had a Sacred leader, and matters involving the Sacred meant that this was no small affair.

"What, is the Venerable surprised?"

At this time, the Third Elder returned to Li Heng's side, overlooking the gathering armies below with him, and said with a smile.

"What is your decision?"

Li Heng asked calmly.

"Reporting to the Venerable, the Multiverse Alliance can agree to your request. But because the Great Dao Ark's origin is too precious and concerns our very lives, we can only give one-tenth. And there is one small condition."

"What condition?" Li Heng asked.

"The Venerable just saw the armies gathering below; you must be very curious, and this matter is related to the gathering of the armies below."

The Third Elder said.

"Make a long story short." Li Heng reminded the Third Elder.

"For our Multiverse Alliance to be independent in the Great Void, we need many things. For example, a blade that can cut through the Great Void, a bonfire that can illuminate the Wuqiong Weizhi, and so on. Among these things, we need a Great Dao Treasure Pearl that carries the Great Dao."

"This kind of Great Dao Treasure Pearl is extremely rare and scarce; it is the essence of an entire Void Era condensed together, and there are not many of them across countless eras. Our Multiverse Alliance was lucky; some time ago, we discovered one in a destroyed Void Era."

"However, in the end, it seems the news leaked, and that Great Dao Treasure Pearl went missing halfway. Our Multiverse Alliance investigated carefully and found that it seems to have fallen into the Abyss Sea. And there are many evil things and Taboo creatures in the Abyss Sea, which are very difficult to deal with, so our Multiverse Alliance can only send out armies to take that Great Dao Treasure Pearl back."

"Abyss Sea?"

Li Heng frowned; he remembered that Abyss Sea, full of Magic Qi and Yin energy, that had directly faded away and separated from the Yin World when the Yin World was destroyed.

"That's right, the Abyss Sea."

"The origins of this sea are mysterious; it has manifested in countless worlds and even across many eras. If nothing unexpected happens, perhaps the Great Venerable has encountered one of the manifestations of the Abyss Sea before."

The Third Elder nodded and said.

"So what do you want me to do?"

"We ask the Great Venerable to take action, destroy the Abyss Sea, and retrieve the Great Dao Treasure Pearl. Of course, if the Great Venerable finds it beyond his power, retrieving the Great Dao Treasure Pearl will suffice; there is no need to force it."

He was vaguely testing Li Heng's strength.

"Wouldn't that make me your hired muscle?"

Li Heng smiled upon hearing this, looking down at the entire Multiverse Alliance.
