Willing to Be Deceived

Li Wensong was completely stunned. He had been able to maintain some level of thinking before, but after Lu Qing'an's words, he was utterly dumbfounded.

The reason he wanted to test whether Lu Qing'an was in the Eternal Realm was because Lu Qing'an had previously offered to help him break through to the Eternal Realm, but it would take a long time, and he might even have to pay a price or do something before Lu Qingan would help him.

If he doesn't discover Lu Qing'an's true strength, he could easily end up like Dan Yun, being deceived and even paying for it.

Now that Lu Qing'an says he can help him break through today, he's not lying. If Lu Qing'an had said that in the first place, as long as it wasn't something beyond his capabilities, he would have taken the gamble!

"Brother Lu! Cough cough, Brother Lu, I really know I was wrong just now! Haha, please be magnanimous and not hold a grudge, okay?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Li Wensong gritted his teeth, disregarded everything, and resolutely threw away his pride, gambling on a bright future.

His fawning manner made Dan Yun feel somewhat unfamiliar.

Dan Yun blinked, then looked at Li Wensong. She knew very well how important this opportunity was to Li Wensong. Li Wensong had gone to such lengths to break through to the Eternal Realm. Given their friendship, she would help him if she could!

"Master, the senior is actually a very good person. He only offended you because of me! I hope you will forgive him for my sake..."

At this point, Dan Yun also had to bite the bullet and speak up for Li Wensong, even though she knew that this might make Lu Qing'an a little angry.

Lu Qing'an glanced at the two of them, then pretended to ponder for a moment before slowly saying, "For Dan Yun's sake, I will let it go today, but as for helping you break through, that depends on your performance in the future."

He had no idea how to help someone at the Peak Sovereign Realm break through to the Eternal Realm. He would have to go back and ask Zheng Miaoyin and the others if they knew how. If he could do it, he could really help Li Wensong break through.

Based on my interactions with Li Wensong so far, it seems that Li Wensong is a decent person.

If he could find an Eternal Realm to serve him, or even if they weren't, it would be a good thing if they could help him or provide him with more information about the advanced continents.

Upon hearing this, Li Wensong smiled bitterly to himself.

Oh, it's time to see how they perform again.

However, this time he really didn't dare to try to test Lu Qing'an's strength again.

Now I finally understand why Dan Yun is at risk of "being scammed and still paying for it".

They really know how to manipulate people!

So, is he really Eternal Realm expert?

Let's stay here and see how things go!

When you spend a lot of time together, you'll always find problems!

If there are no problems, then this is a great fortuitous opportunity for him!

Let's take a gamble!!!

"Okay! I'll listen to Brother Lu! I'll try my best to perform even better!" Li Wensong nodded with a beaming smile.

Lu Qing'an looked at Li Wensong, who appeared to be an old man, and smiled with a shrewd air. He knew that simply giving Li Wensong a vague deadline and conditions would not be enough to keep him in check, so he pretended to be casual and said, "You will do three things for me. None of the three things will be difficult for you. Consider it a test for you. If you complete them successfully, I will immediately help you advance to the Eternal Realm."

Li Wensong raised an eyebrow.

Three things that aren't difficult for me?!

This has potential!

As long as it's not truly difficult, his losses won't be significant!

At worst, being scammed just means losing face!

Anyway, he's already this age, and in this remote star field, so what if he loses face?

It's worth a try!

"Please say so!" Li Wensong said with a smile.

"Let's start with the first thing, which is like an errand: go and invite the Heavenly Dao of all the Fifth Heaven Continent in this star field, as well as the Heavenly Dao of the Six Heavens Continent Divine Continent, to come here." Lu Qing'an glanced at Li Wensong lightly.

"This shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

The remaining three or four continents can be explored by sending your own people.

For the remaining Fifth Heaven Continent and Six Heavens Continent, we'll ask Li Wensong, a Peak Sovereign Realm, for help.

What he did was naturally to see which other continents shared the same origin as the Eternal Night Continent!

By leveraging Li Wensong's abilities, we can have Li Wensong act as an errand boy and get the job done.

If he were to extract his cultivation power himself and travel around, dealing with various Heavenly Dao, it would be troublesome, not to mention that he wouldn't be able to dissipate his cultivation power afterward. If he were to keep his cultivation power, he would have to move the courtyard to the outer realm.

In addition Li Wensong, Li Wensong is a seasoned veteran who has dealt with the Heavenly Dao far more than him, so Li Wensong should be capable of handling this matter.

Upon hearing this, Li Wensong quickly replied with a smile, "Of course it's not difficult!"

This matter was indeed not difficult for him; in fact, it could be said to be quite simple. At most, it would just be a waste of some time to run around, interact with those Heavenly Dao Heavenly Dao, and try to gather them here.

Actually, there's not much need for interaction. If he can't persuade these Heavenly Dao with his own strength and status, he doesn't even need to use force. Just saying that an Eternal Realm wants to see these Heavenly Dao Heavenly Dao will probably make them come and see what's going on.

Lu Qing'an: "Then you should take care of this matter first. I'll think about the remaining two things and then I'll tell you."

"Brother Lu, you can just tell me! If it's simple, I'll take care of it!" Li Wensong didn't want to waste time.

Moreover, he was afraid that after completing the first two tasks, he would find that the last one was impossible to complete, which would be a complete waste of his efforts.

This is no different from being scammed...

He was very clear about the ins and outs of this matter, and it was best to figure it out first before taking any action.

Seeing Li Wensong's shrewdness, Lu Qing'an understood and nodded slightly. "Alright, I haven't asked you which Seven Heavens Continent you're from yet, tell me first."

He used this opportunity to inquire about Li Wensong's situation and, in turn, learn about the situation on the advanced continent.

Li Wensong smiled and said, "From the Heavenly Fall Continent."

"The Heavenly Fall Continent? Is there a Xu Household on your continent that's quite powerful?" Lu Qing'an asked.

He didn't know how many Seven Heavens Continent there were in such a vast outer realm, nor was he sure if the Seven Heavens Continent where Li Wensong was located was the same Seven Heavens Continent where Xu Qingying's cousin Xu Yi was located. He just wanted to ask and see if it matched up.

If there were also a Xu Household on the Seven Heavens Continent where Li Wensong was located, and after getting a general understanding of them, if it really matched, then this matter Xu Household would be much easier to handle.

He didn't even need to lift a finger!

Let Li Wensong handle it!

"The Xu Household? There is one, indeed. But it might not be the same Xu Household Xu Household 're talking about, Brother Lu," Li Wensong said.

Lu Qing'an's heart stirred slightly upon hearing about the Xu Household.

He suspected that Li Wensong might be from the same Seven Heavens Continent as Xu Yi, mainly because Xu Yi and Li Wensong were the strongest people he had encountered in this star field.

Then it occurred to me that the two of them might have come from the same continent.

"How much do you know about the Xu Household? For example, do you know anything about the main members?" Lu Qing'an asked.

Upon hearing this, Li Wensong's expression turned strange.

Why ask this question?

"The Xu Household is considered one of the top Lineage in our continent, so I know them quite well, and the core members all know them." Li Wensong nodded.

"Is there a junior named Xu Yi?" Lu Qing'an asked.

Li Wensong replied directly, "Yes, there are."
