Mu Guangming smiled faintly. "Let alone cannon fodder, even if I were a prisoner, I'd have no choice but to accept it."
With that, he let out a heavy sigh and pointed at Xu Yi. "I'm not like you. You were born to be a cultivator, with fortune written into your fate. For me, reaching the Immortal Path by igniting my origin is a dead end. Even if there's one chance in ten thousand, I can only give it everything I've got."
At that, he looked a little happier. "Originally, I thought I wouldn't even get the chance to be a prisoner. I never expected you to leave me some hope after all. With this Black Origin Bead, I owe you an enormous favor."
Xu Yi waved a hand. "There's no need to say all that. Since you've entered the immortal sect, what about the Chaotic Star Sea?"
Mu Guangming replied, "I've already made all the arrangements. Besides, the Elder Council will maintain order in the Chaotic Star Sea. The sea's safety doesn't depend on me at all; it comes from the Abyss of Chaos. Even if I leave, the sea will be fine. All right, there isn't much time. I need to hurry and hand over the treasure, before I lose even this final chance. I won't keep you any longer. I only hope that when we meet again someday, you won't call me Martial Uncle-Ancestor."
With that, he laughed heartily and rose to his feet. He had barely taken two steps when he suddenly remembered something. "There's some news you might be interested in. In three days, there'll be a high-level auction in Holy Radiance City. All the attendees will be important figures. Anyone else who wants to get in only needs to offer a Black Origin Bead
