Chapter 877: Business First

Facing Wei Yuan's gaze that seemed to pierce through his sea of consciousness, Tianyu chuckled for a long time and explained, "This, isn't it just because it's unlikely, so I occasionally think about it. And then, because I was worshipped so miserably by you, it turned into a small obsession."

Wei Yuan nodded, accepting this explanation, and did not delve deeper. It was clear from these images that what Tianyu enjoyed was the process of chasing and killing while spouting harsh words, and what he pursued was the result of trampling Wei Yuan underfoot and roaring at the sky.

All the images pointed to the same result, but the processes had their own characteristics, and after trampling Wei Yuan and roaring at the sky, a new round of chasing and killing would begin again.

Seeing that Wei Yuan was not angry, Tianyu hurriedly changed the subject: "Why did you suddenly run to the Shaman Realm?!"

Wei Yuan said, "I accidentally got caught in Huiye's banishment and was thrown over here."

Tianyu frowned and said, "That's a bit troublesome. Getting out of here is very difficult; you must take the teleportation gate. A few days ago, Lord Jiumu suddenly issued an order to strictly examine the identities of the Shamans entering and exiting the teleportation gate. Now, sending you away will probably take some effort."

"What's the situation with the teleportation gate? Can we force our way through?"

Tianyu hurriedly said, "Absolutely not! The exit of the teleportation gate is in the City of Heaven. Even if you broke through the teleportation gate, once the City of Heaven is notified, even an Immortal couldn't escape. We need to plan carefully; let me think..."

Tianyu tried hard to think, but to no avail.

It was Wei Yuan who asked, "Are there any Shamans who smuggle themselves out?"

Tianyu slapped his thigh: "That's right! How could I have forgotten this! I heard that every year, criminals successfully smuggle themselves out and quietly return to the Shaman Domain. Hmm, let me inquire first. If it's true, it means this matter has a complete procedure, and the one at the very top taking the biggest share must be Lord Jiumu.

Don't worry, as long as it can be solved with money, it's not a problem. If other Shamans can go, we can go too."

"But we can't go like that. My teacher's Dao sword was also banished and should have fallen into this realm as well. I want to find it, and then we can go."

Tianyu asked carefully for a long time before he realized the Dao sword was one of Zhang Sheng's Dao foundations, and he was immediately stumped: "This... it's not an object, right? How are you supposed to find it? Can't you just give it up? Your teacher already has hundreds of immortal swords, does she really need this one?"

Wei Yuan said solemnly, "She needs this one; she only needs this one. This Dao sword carries its own destiny and causality. Missing even a little bit is like an ant hole appearing on a dike thousands of miles long..."

"A thousand-mile dike collapses from an ant hole; I understand human speech, you don't need to be so laborious," Tianyu said.

Wei Yuan patted his forehead and said, "I've been dealing with silly Shamans too much lately and forgot. Anyway, that's what I mean; it must be found. This is the only obsession in my teacher's life, and I don't want her to have any regrets in her heart for the next few thousand years."

Tianyu said, "Wait, you just said a few thousand years... if this sword is missing, is your teacher's ascension to immortality in danger?"

Wei Yuan shook his head: "Ascension is no problem, but she won't be able to beat the First Day Shaman."

Tianyu was silent, then said, "You wait a moment, let me meditate for a while."

Without waiting for Wei Yuan's consent, he closed all eight eyes at once and meditated for a full quarter of an hour, running through the most tense and thrilling chasing and killing processes in his heart to stabilize his Dao heart. Only then did he open one of his smallest eyes and say, "Since you are a person, can you speak human language from now on?"

Wei Yuan confirmed again that Tianyu's level of human speech was very high.

"That thing... what exactly does the Dao sword look like?"

Wei Yuan said, "It has its own spirituality and was banished here, so it has already severed its causality with my teacher. In this world, it might become a spirit without an owner, and it could take any form."

Tianyu said in astonishment, "How are you supposed to find it?"

Wei Yuan said, "I have made a great vow, and my causality with it is extremely strong; it's not something a single banishment can sever. Under the power of the vow, it will naturally get closer and closer to me through various coincidences."

Tianyu opened another eye and said, "If I didn't know it was you, I would definitely think you were a swindler. Those bald thieves use the same tone as you when they swindle money."

Wei Yuan was startled: "Is it that obvious?"

"Just now when you said that, you were solemn and dignified!"

A look of worry flashed across Wei Yuan's face; he seemed to have been influenced without realizing it. But there was no other way; without making a great vow, he couldn't establish causality.

And that day, Wei Yuan pressed step by step, using himself as bait in the game, which was why Huiye banished the Dao sword. Otherwise, if she held the Dao sword in her hand, with the various bizarre methods of the Shaman tribe, if she did something during Zhang Sheng's heavenly tribulation, Zhang Sheng would be in danger. The previous tribulations were fine, but the ascension tribulation could never be passed.

That was why Wei Yuan entered the game himself, letting Huiye banish the Dao sword, thus fighting for a glimmer of opportunity.

Tianyu saw that Wei Yuan's expression was not right and said solemnly, "Did you fall for the dark hands of those bald thieves?"

"It's nothing, I just met a few monks who said I was born with innate wisdom and insisted I join the Buddhist sect."

Tianyu laughed and said, "I thought it was something else; isn't this simple? Since you're here, I'll take you to eat, drink, and have fun every day, and see more of the beauties of all races in the world; won't your Buddha-nature be washed away?"

Wei Yuan smiled bitterly; wasn't this pushing himself onto Wang Fu's lotus throne? But if he didn't do this, and remained pure and desireless, he would gradually become solemn and dignified.
