Chapter 342: The Fifth Contract Demon? [Requesting Monthly Tickets]
"Moreover, I have my own selfish reasons. After all, having a favor from a Divine Sovereign's offspring is quite important to me." Mu Rufeng began to speak.
"I've noted your favor." Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
This voice was somewhat familiar to Mu Rufeng; he had heard it before and recognized it.
Mu Rufeng's expression almost instantly turned pale; it was fear.
The arrival was none other than the Divine Sovereign Wu Fu.
"Father? Why are you here?" Wulan looked toward Mu Rufeng's rear, extremely surprised.
"Divine... Divine Sovereign, young Mu Rufeng greets the Divine Sovereign."
Mu Rufeng turned his head and saw the Divine Sovereign Wu Fu, identical to the one he had seen in the Third Forbidden Land.
However, he seemed... even more kindly? More like a monk?
Then Mu Rufeng immediately bowed, paying the utmost respect.
"I've heard quite a bit about you from many people. You displayed great power in the Third Forbidden Land, manipulating the Divine Dragon, and managed to kill all of us Five Great Divine Sovereigns."
"Indeed, it's been a long time since I've seen such a promising talent." Divine Sovereign Wu Fu said with a smile, seeming devoid of any airs of a sovereign.
Upon hearing this, a chill ran up Mu Rufeng's spine to his head.
He quickly replied: "Divine Sovereign, I..."
Mu Rufeng hadn't finished speaking before Divine Sovereign Wu Fu interrupted him with a gesture: "Those are all false. I don't care. What I care about is your claim that you can neutralize the Netherworld Flower Poison."
"In the Golden City, you gained over ten thousand years of life, enough to live to see the next opening of the Heavenly Dao Continent."
"When the Third Forbidden Land opens again, you'll enter it for me, and allow my child Wulan to accompany you, to go to the Netherworld and remove the poison."
After speaking, Divine Sovereign Wu Fu looked at Wulan: "Wulan, you've suffered, and it's your father who owes you."
Divine Sovereign Wu Fu was also laden with abnormality, indifferent typically with outsiders, yet still affectionate towards his own children.
Especially considering he transferred the poison to Wulan, subjecting her to over twenty thousand years of torment.
How could he not love his daughter?
Wulan glanced at Divine Sovereign Wu Fu, ultimately remaining silent.
She hated, she truly hated; even though she could feel the paternal love from Divine Sovereign Wu Fu, the poison's transfer in the past was still too damaging.
After so many years of torture, her heart had become numb; to recover wouldn't be easy.
"Ahem, Divine Sovereign, there's a particular property of Cold Spring — that as long as you have Cold Spring Water, it can lead you to the source."
"I happen to have a bit of Cold Spring Water left, which I am willing to present to Divine Sovereign, thus lessening the need to wait for another thousand years." Mu Rufeng said, immediately taking out a ping-pong ball-sized water orb.
Mu Rufeng had a full jug, but he intended to keep some for himself, and besides, this small amount was already sufficient to lead the way.
When the Cold Spring Water appeared, an icy aura instantly spread.
Even though it was within a dream, Mu Rufeng could still take out items from the item slot.
Divine Sovereign Wu Fu reached out and took the Cold Spring Water into his hand.
"Truly miraculous, this Cold Spring Water contains a special power, though, it is useless now."
"The Third Forbidden Land, I know where it is, yet I'm unable to enter; indeed, one must wait another thousand years." Divine Sovereign Wu Fu said.
"Hmm? With your power, Divine Sovereign, are you unable to access the Third Forbidden Land?" Mu Rufeng said, slightly astonished.
"The Third Forbidden Land is evolved from the Mysterious World's devouring of the Heavenly Dao Continent's rules."
"Despite the recent complete conversion into a part of the Mysterious World, its rules and abnormal beings strongly resist our entry."
"Should I forcibly enter, I would be constrained by rules, fearing that the Emperor Sovereign might kill me." Divine Sovereign Wu Fu spoke beamingly.
Divine Sovereign Wu Fu carried no airs, speaking as if casually with a friend.
Mu Rufeng, hearing this, was slightly startled, then understood.
Even though the Third Forbidden Land was converted by the Mysterious World, it still retained a bit of its own sentiment, thus greatly resenting Divine Sovereign Wu Fu, the culprit behind the destruction of the Heavenly Dao Continent.
Even if one could enter, they would undoubtedly face rule suppression, with power likely reduced to that of an Emperor Sovereign.
Within the Third Forbidden Land, the strongest presence is the already corrupted Mu Chengqian, and surely there must be numerous Emperor Sovereigns.
Unexpectedly, they might be able to eliminate the suppressed Divine Sovereign Wu Fu.
Moreover, Ao Zhi's Dragon Corpse might have been corrupted, and if transformed, what would its strength be? Emperor Sovereign or Divine Sovereign?
Thus, Divine Sovereign Wu Fu naturally wouldn't take such a risk.
Mu Rufeng's thoughts flickered, recalling the dungeon key he acquired earlier.
This dungeon key allows entry into an instance of the Heavenly Dao Continent.
However, he had given it to Sixth Prince Mu Wuyu some time ago.
He remembered, Mu Wuyu mentioned using it on his father's birthday.
Mu Chengqian's birthday is in December, and now, there's still quite a while until then.
Meaning Mu Rufeng could potentially retrieve the dungeon key, thereby entering the instance.
