"Let me see what this thing really is."
Bao Xiaotou studied the pendant in his hand as he walked. As his immortal power slowly seeped into it, a torrent of memories surged into his mind.
For a moment, Bao Xiaotou stood frozen in place, his expression vacant as his Primordial Spirit rapidly digested the enormous mass of memories.
"Gasp... This... this is a heaven-sent opportunity."
Once Bao Xiaotou came back to himself, his face was filled with shock. As a third-rank Dao Array Master, how could he not recognize what this was? This was the inheritance of a first-rank Dao Array Master.
Experience, arrays, details, and all manner of array-setting arts that had long since vanished.
If he absorbed all these memories, there was no doubt that he could step straight into the rank of second-rank Dao Array Master.
"This..."
At this moment, Bao Xiaotou looked at Shangguan Wanyu in the distance with a complicated expression. He had accepted an enormous favor from her—this was a tremendous karmic debt.
It would have been fine if Shangguan Wanyu were dead, but now, he clearly could not kill her.
This immense karmic debt would have to be repaid bit by bit.
That was why there was such a thing as killing for treasure. In the unseen workings of the world, karma existed everywhere. An object, a single sentence—either could become entangled with karma.
And severing karma was simple enough: kill whoever you owed it to. But now, Shangguan Wanyu clearly could not be killed, so he would have to repay it little by little.
As the group walked on, they arrived before an enormous mountain gate. It was magnificent and resplendent, while beyond it stretched an endless chain of palaces, as though it truly were an immortal palace in the heavens.
