The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 967 - 381: Crown Rank·Bio-Mecha_2

In all the heavens and myriads of worlds, there really are too many powerful clans.

By comparison, the once-glorious Ye Clan, if it wishes to rise and pursue glory again, will likely face many tigers blocking the path, not just one or two.

"Young master, how about we make a deal?"

"You can contract a Chimera cub and take it away, and I won’t stop you,"

"But I hope you can ascend it to become a Holy Saint Embryo as fast as possible."

"When that time comes, if the Double Seal Fusion remains stable, please return here, I have a favor to ask."

"What favor?" Ye Hanjun asked calmly.

"Follow me to Mechanic God Mountain,"

Xiahou Danxin licked his lips, pausing between each word:

"I am willing to stake my life’s reputation to guarantee that no matter who you are, you will not face the trouble of losing your life there."

"I want to use a Supreme Level Conjoined Mechanical Body as a display of achievements, and then load all my experimental data into Mechanic God Mountain, into the core processing heart of Bio-Mecha."

"At that time, I will return home in honor, and my name will be permanently recorded."

"After death, part of my soul will reside forever in the Mechanic God Mountain, a glory every citizen of the Mechanic God Mountain pursues throughout their life, it’s incomparably significant and crucial..."

Ye Hanjun pondered for a moment then slowly asked:

"Is your lifespan nearing its end?"

"Yes,"

Xiahou Danxin honestly replied:

"I have consumed quite a few life-extending treasures, and I was originally planning to live until the mid-point of this epoch."

"But capturing this little one, I was heavily wounded by the Supreme power within its body, and the losses in all aspects were extremely severe."

"That’s your own fault," Little GuaGua muttered.

"Yes, indeed it is my own doing,"

Xiahou Danxin, not angered, admitted openly:

"But I have no regrets; I would still do the same if given another chance."

"The blood of other Savage Saints I’ve sought over the years... Alas, thus far, only Chimera could support the experiment to the end and display the final effect."

"Now, you will enjoy all the fruits of my research and experience the unique qualities of the Androecium Machinery,"

"All you need to do is help me prove myself."

"I wouldn’t want to die fixated on Mechanic God Mountain while my body ends up in a foreign land; that would be too lonely, too cruel."

"If I really did that, what would become of Chimera? And what about me?" Ye Hanjun asked directly.

"Don’t worry, Mechanic God Mountain respects every scientific achievement, as they are all labors of love,"

Xiahou Danxin affirmed:

"The Chimera cub will become a member of Mechanic God Mountain, regularly receiving supply of resources."

"And as its Patron, even without Ability, you will still be an honored guest,"

"As long as you don’t tarnish Mechanic God Mountain’s reputation for no reason, traveling outside with the status of Guest Elder of Mechanic God Mountain could save you a lot of trouble."

"What if I myself come from the Divine Clan?"

Ye Hanjun asked again, as if casting thunder on a calm day.

Xiahou Danxin paused slightly, then furrowed his brows, re-examining Sword Thunder Child. He glanced over Ye Hanjun and Ye Liuying’s hair color, physique, and features, with hesitation spoke:

"May I ask which Supreme Clan are you from? Is there any dispute with Mechanic God Mountain?"

Ye Hanjun shook his head lightly:

"I cannot divulge details,"

"But I can confirm that my ancestors bore no grudges with Mechanic God Mountain and have always been at peace with it."

"Then there’s no problem!"

Xiahou Danxin let out a sigh of relief and said with conviction:

"Looking across all heavens and myriads of worlds, there are barely any forces stronger than Mechanic God Mountain by a large margin."

"We harbor no ambitions for supremacy, only that the pursuit of scientific research inevitably requires the assistance of various talents and treasures, making our involvement in battles and conflicts a reluctant necessity."

"I can disregard your origins, but I need your promise."

"If the Androecium Machinery, which I strived to cultivate, cannot serve as the proof of my life’s work and instead dies in solitude or decays in obscurity, better we both perish right now."

Xiahou Danxin exhaled deeply, his resolve clearly expressed.

Ye Hanjun remained silent, sinking into deep contemplation once more.

He disliked being threatened, yet even if war with Xiahou Danxin were to break out, with four Holy Spirits at his opponent’s side, it’s not certain they could make him lay to rest here.

However, such terms of agreement also held unexpected benefits.

The Ye Clan... required allies!

Building good diplomatic relations with Mechanic God Mountain might prove helpful during times of crisis.

Moreover... Lan Qixiong has already become Conjoined Mechanical Body!

Its future growth would undoubtedly require contact with Mechanic God Mountain.

Thus, aside from venturing into the unknown divine lands, carrying with it a sense of awe and fear, other potential benefits layer upon layer appear. How could he refuse?

"If what you say is true, I can agree to it,"

Ultimately, Ye Hanjun nodded in agreement, promising:

"But becoming a saint is not an easy task. What seems to be just a small Rank requires time and opportunity, which still carry substantial uncertainty."

"One thousand years—I will give you a thousand years’ time! Surely that should be more than enough?"

Xiahou Danxin raised a finger, his voice sonorous:

"That is the longest lifespan I can hold on to!"

"Just don’t cut it so close on your return, leave me some time to make haste. Even if I have just arrived at Mechanic God Mountain and breathe my last, as long as I die in my birthplace, I accept it!"

"A thousand years... as a covenant, that is indeed generous on time,"

Ye Hanjun rested his chin on his hand, murmuring to himself:

"Lan Qixiong, with the blood of the Savage Beasts’ king, will surely reach the saintly throne if it grows normally."

"Now with the Double Seal Fusion, even with unknown factors at play, a thousand years should be enough to ascend a minor Rank. Surely, that will suffice."
