Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 732

?Chapter 732: Chapter 324: Li Mingwu’s Enlightenment_2 Chapter 732: Chapter 324: Li Mingwu’s Enlightenment_2 This inevitably led Lin Jing to ponder.

Why must the Yan Family’s Ancestor insist on saving Li Mingwu at all costs?

Lin Jing looked at the several individuals in the midst of the venue.

Wearing a smile that suggested having all the cards in his hand, Li Mingwu insisted on sparing Bai Yi’s life; he seemed not panicked at all at this moment.

Opposite him was the Yan Family’s Ancestor, his brows furrowed in concentration and a hint of hesitation.

Behind the Yan Family’s Ancestor was Bai Yi, his brow also creased as he looked towards Dragon Daoist.

Finally, there was Dragon Daoist, his expression calm, standing in front of Bai Yi, with his Magical Treasure ready before him, as if prepared to act at any moment.

While observing these individuals, Lin Jing was also contemplating…

…

…

After a moment, Lin Jing suddenly had a flash of insight while looking at Li Mingwu.

Lin Jing finally understood why, under these circumstances, the Yan Family’s Ancestor still refused to leave and insisted on saving Bai Yi.

The Yan Family’s Ancestor aimed to save Bai Yi not for the sake of Bai Yi himself but for his own purpose.

This time, the Yan Family’s Ancestor’s pursuit of Bai Yi was partially to retrieve the Five Elements Earth Command.

Because he had promised Lin Jing to bring the Five Elements Command Token back.

However,

Li Mingwu suddenly emerged en route.

The appearance of Li Mingwu introduced an unforeseen variable into the affair.

Despite the variables, the Yan Family’s Ancestor still found an opportunity to snatch Bai Yi’s Space Ring.

At this point, the Yan Family’s Ancestor could have left directly.

However,

Just at that moment, a second complication arose.

Soul Tomb suddenly descended at this time.

Previously, Lin Jing and the others had inquired that the appearance of Soul Tomb was only for a limited duration, roughly between three to seven days at most.

Once the time passed, Soul Tomb would disappear once again.

Although the Yan Family’s Ancestor got hold of Bai Yi’s Space Ring, it was saddled with a restriction set by Bai Yi.

The technique to lift this restriction was not easy to deal with.

Not to mention, this was a restriction personally set by Bai Yi himself.

To break the restriction on the Space Ring was extremely troublesome, and even someone of the Yan Family’s Ancestor’s cultivation level would need at least a month or more.

But if it really came to breaking the restriction, by the time it was lifted from the Space Ring to extract the Five Elements Earth Command inside, at least a month would have passed.

By then, Soul Tomb would have long disappeared.

The next appearance was unknown as to when it would be.

However, the restriction on the Space Ring could not be forcibly broken, as a forceful attempt could damage the ring, and the contents inside might not be preserved.

Therefore, only Bai Yi himself could lift the restriction.

As the one who set it, it would be exceptionally easy for Bai Yi to remove the restriction on his own Space Ring.

So as to quickly retrieve the Five Elements Earth Command, and not delay the departure from this place,

That’s why the Yan Family’s Ancestor used the preservation of Bai Yi’s life as a bargaining chip, to have him lift the restriction on the Space Ring.

?0???.??

It was a sound strategy.

But it also planted a potential problem for the Yan Family’s Ancestor himself.

This condition was a promise.

The words of the Yan Family’s Ancestor once spoken, became a promise given to Bai Yi.

Originally,

Bai Yi was nearly incapacitated, and his Space Ring was in the hands of the Yan Family’s Ancestor.

Logically, whether it was Li Mingwu or Dragon Daoist, their focus would only be on the Yan Family’s Ancestor.

And the nearly powerless Bai Yi was already without any value.

They presumably would not make him their primary target.

At the very start, Li Mingwu did just that, directing all his attention towards the Yan Family’s Ancestor.

However, just as the Yan Family’s Ancestor thought the matter was settled and was about to let Bai Yi leave, Li Mingwu came to a realization at this time.

After thinking it through, Li Mingwu instantly understood that the turning point in this affair actually lay with Bai Yi.

Since the Yan Family’s Ancestor had made a promise to Bai Yi, Li Mingwu became keen on breaking this promise and insisted on eliminating Bai Yi.

At this moment, it appeared as though the Yan Family’s Ancestor had everything in hand, ready to depart,

But unexpectedly, the Yan Family’s Ancestor was still bounded by the promise he had just made.

The Yan Family’s Ancestor, unlike Li Mingwu, was honorable.

Promises he made, he naturally intended to fulfill.

If he claimed he would save Bai Yi, then the Yan Family’s Ancestor would indeed strive to do so.

If it were due to Li Mingwu’s threats that the Yan Family’s Ancestor abandoned Bai Yi and fled,

Not only would that shatter his promise and act against his conscience,

It might also leave an indelible shadow in his heart, potentially giving rise to a Heart Demon.

The path of a cultivator was a process of battling against heaven.

If even this bit of courage was lost,

The next encounter with a Heavenly Tribulation would likely prove dire.

This was different from before making a promise.

If he hadn’t made a promise earlier, the Yan Family’s Ancestor could naturally choose to ignore Bai Yi.

But having made a promise, the Yan Family’s Ancestor was compelled to follow through.

…

In the current situation,

The Yan Family’s Ancestor alone faced both Li Mingwu and Dragon Daoist, and he also had to protect Bai Yi.

This was even more difficult than before.

The Yan Family’s Ancestor’s brows were tightly knit.

At this moment, he was contemplating the immediate situation.

Li Mingwu had now grasped the current state of affairs and would certainly not hold back.

If in this situation, he could save Bai Yi from the hands of Li Mingwu and Dragon Daoist,

He would surely pay a significant price.

Perhaps even by a slip, he himself might get dragged into the fray.

The Yan Family’s Ancestor was weighing his options while he pondered,

But,

The time for the Yan Family’s Ancestor to think was not long.

Just after a brief moment, his expression became incredibly resolute, as the aura of his cultivation burst forth from him.
