Chapter 836: Great Temptation_2
"The affection of the Holy Mother is as heavy as Mount Tai, and Lin Yun naturally accepts it," Lin Yun nodded again.
"As far as I know, you entered the Starry Sea and encountered some powerful enemies, including those who targeted you because you come from Immortal Origin Holy Land, allowing you to turn danger into safety several times. Do you acknowledge this favor?" The True Martial Saint Lord nodded.
"I do," Lin Yun nodded once more.
"That's good. I hope that after I leave, you will take charge of Immortal Origin Holy Land to repay these debts of gratitude. Are you willing?" True Martial Saint Lord clapped his hands and smiled.
"What? You want me to take charge of Immortal Origin Holy Land to repay these debts of gratitude?" Lin Yun's eyes widened, almost thinking he had heard wrong.
What kind of method was this? Was there really such a way of repaying favors?
"Of course, it's not just about taking charge of Immortal Origin Holy Land. You also have the duty to find the reincarnation of Grand Master Er Lee's friend. In fact, you don't need to search for him actively, just ensure his safety once you discover his whereabouts," said True Martial Saint Lord with a smile.
"This..." Lin Yun hesitated.
He had no objections to assisting the True Martial Saint Lord, the Holy Mother, or the Taoist Ancestor in their endeavors, but he knew nothing about Immortal Origin Holy Land. Was it really okay to agree to take charge of it just like that?
"Actually, there is no need for me to take charge of Immortal Origin Holy Land, as the Holy Mother and the Saint Lord have saved Lin Yun several times, and I have also indirectly received many favors from Grand Master Taoist Ancestor. Since you have asked, it's just about protecting the reincarnation of Grand Master's friend.
As long as I hear of his whereabouts, I will naturally spare no effort," Lin Yun said after a moment, gesturing with a bow of his hands.
He had been confused by the words of True Martial Saint Lord and subconsciously thought that managing Immortal Origin Holy Land was required to undertake this task. Upon reflection, he realized he didn't need to take charge of Immortal Origin Holy Land to accept this mission.
"Are you sure about this? Immortal Origin Holy Land is not a simple force. There are many blessed and tranquil domains within it, the largest being the Thirty-Three Heavens, representing the essence of this universe. The conditions there even surpass those in the upper spaces of the Heavenly Principle Tower by a great margin!" True Martial Saint Lord looked deeply at Lin Yun and said.
Heart startled, Lin Yun knew very well the excellent cultivation environment of the Heavenly Principle Tower's upper spaces. To surpass such a realm, Immortal Origin Holy Land must indeed be an extraordinary place!
Setting himself aside, if the people close to him could cultivate in such an environment for an extended period, their progress would be swift, and the benefits immense.
However, Lin Yun soon let go of these thoughts and shook his head slightly, "I have thought it through. Immortal Origin Holy Land must have its own system after thousands of years of development; I don't wish to casually interfere with it."
He thought of the envoy from Immortal Origin Holy Land, Chu Lee, suspecting that he must have impacted the other's interests somehow, which led to being schemed against.
If he were to take charge of Immortal Origin Holy Land, who knows how many people's interests would be affected and what turmoil it could cause. Immortal Origin Holy Land was no simple existence; there were methods left behind by the otherworldly strongman Er Lee, powerful beings like the True Martial Saint Lord, and who knows what else...
From what he had learned from Modan, the Holy Mother's position in Immortal Origin Holy Land was not very stable. Given the strength of True Martial Saint Lord, if he sided with the Holy Mother, it was evident that Immortal Origin Holy Land must also harbor a formidable opposing force.
He did not want to get involved recklessly.
Therefore, he was willing to give up the tempting opportunity to control Immortal Origin Holy Land.
"If you agree to take charge of Immortal Origin Holy Land, I can also give you a gift to boost your current strength by at least one level. You know, the Bloodthirsty Sword in your hand, although it can quickly enhance your power, requires the slaughtering of numerous strong beings.
With your current strength, I estimate you won't be able to enhance your power swiftly without killing one or two Saint Lords, and they are not so easily slain," True Martial Saint Lord smiled and said.
The words of True Martial Saint Lord made Lin Yun's heart skip a beat.
There was no denying that True Martial Saint Lord was very tempting, first with the lure of a powerful force, ensuring immediate supremacy second only to one and above tens of thousands, with freedom to traverse the entire universe. This was undeniably a huge temptation.
Following that, he was tempted with a domain of extremely high-quality blessed land. Should he agree, not only could he rapidly increase his strength, but the people around him could also progress at a flying pace.
Seeing his reluctance, True Martial Saint Lord finally went straight for the temptation of a direct boost in strength, which was equally astonishing.
The triple temptation, combined, was simply irresistible, causing Lin Yun's heart to twitch.
"There's no need, no need. I'm quite content as I am. If you need my help with anything, just command me," Lin Yun finally took a deep breath and waved his hand.
He decided to stick to his principles.
"Haha, worthy of being the one chosen by the Holy Mother. With this, I am even more reassured to entrust Immortal Origin Holy Land to you," True Martial Saint Lord laughed upon hearing Lin Yun's words.
"Really, there's no need. Even if Saint Lord leaves this universe, Immortal Origin Holy Land should have many suitable people to take charge. You really don't need to entrust Immortal Origin Holy Land to me," Lin Yun replied with a wry smile, waving his hand again.
