"Stop."
Zeng Anmin raised a finger, looking at Dongfang Cang speechlessly.
"Old Ancestor, why do I feel like you've gone a little mad?"
"Leaving aside how a fourth-rank like me could possibly withstand the Barbarian God's attack."
"Even if I truly could stop it and deal with the Barbarian God, then what?"
"Who would hold back that Kunpeng? Could Master Xu really resist coming to take a slice of the pie?"
"When the scene turns that chaotic, can you keep a mere fourth-rank like me alive?"
"This matter isn't urgent. We can talk once I break through to first rank and have the strength to protect myself."
Zeng Anmin looked at Dongfang Cang with blazing eyes.
"So what you should be doing now isn't considering the South Sea Secret Realm, but helping me break through to first rank with everything you have!"
Dongfang Cang opened his mouth.
He found that Zeng Anmin's words made a great deal of sense.
"There is some truth to that."
Dongfang Cang thought for a moment, then sighed.
"Fine. Since I cannot remove the necklace, I shall let it remain with you for now."
"Come closer. I'll tell you exactly how to use this necklace and what effects it has."
Zeng Anmin's eyes instantly lit up.
He hurriedly nodded, stepped beside Dongfang Cang, and leaned in to listen.
"This necklace is said to be my treasure, but in truth, it is tied to many figures."
Dongfang Cang looked solemnly at Zeng Anmin.
"When I was merely a novice monk in the Buddhist sect, I personally witnessed Bodhisattva Xuanshu seal a rampaging Barbarian God beneath the Sacred Dynasty Dragon Vein, using his own body as the seal to save all living beings."
"Wait..."
The Buddhist sect?
Zeng Anmin looked up at Dongfang Cang in astonishment.
