The source of the Great Emperor's True Scripture has finally been found.
Everything seemed to become traceable, and even had a definite location.
But Lin Che couldn't feel happy at all.
Unexpectedly, he traveled back more than two thousand years, before the Great Gan Dynasty was established, and still could not resolve the causal power of the "Great Emperor's True Scripture".
The source of this is actually in Lingshan.
The sacred mountain guarded by the Buddha!
With Lin Che's current understanding of the power of cause and effect, once he finds the source, he will definitely be able to break the causal chain. He can then directly stop the causal chain and save Jiang Li's life.
But where is Mount Ling? Besides, is it really possible to go to Mount Ling alone?
It wasn't that he didn't dare, but rather, did Jiang Li have that much time to wait for him?
Lin Che felt a heavy weight in his heart. He couldn't give up halfway. He had to go to Mount Ling and sever the karmic ties to the "Great Emperor's True Scripture".
He suddenly reached out and patted the golden dragon man on the shoulder: "Fellow Daoist, my name is Lin Che, what's your name?"
The golden dragon looked wary, sizing Lin Che up and down before cautiously replying, as if afraid of being tricked: "My name is Ao Xiao! I am a male dragon and cannot reproduce..."
"There's been a misunderstanding, isn't there? Ao Xiao, our relationship can be described as one of unexpected encounters. Actually, the moment I saw you, I knew you were among the best. You're not only handsome, but also knowledgeable and incredibly talented..."
Ao Xiao took a slight step back, his face full of doubt: "You can even see that I'm talented?"
"Of course. I can see that... you're a very sincere and kind-hearted person, a truly first-rate friend!"
"Your eyes are sharp; you saw right through me!"
Lin Che patted Ao Xiao on the shoulder again: "You are actually very ambitious, loyal, and filial. You are just waiting for an opportunity. As long as you have the chance, you will definitely save your father, shatter Mount Ling, and trample the head of Buddha Tathagata into the ground! Tell all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens: You, Ao Xiao! Are not someone they can mess with! Anyone who dares to touch your sore spot, you will definitely destroy their paradise!"
Ao Xiao was so excited that his face seemed to turn red. He clenched his fist and stood up abruptly.
"That's right! Lin Che, you really understand me! This is the kind of dragon I am! No one, in heaven or on earth, is allowed to cross me!! Roar!!"
Looking at Ao Xiao's excited expression, Lin Che couldn't tell whether the other person was genuinely being immature or just faking it.
Just to be on the safe side, he still wanted to have a backup plan.
He reached out and redeemed an Ancient Spirit Contract Pill from the system shop. This kind of pill is actually only effective for cultivators with low cultivation levels. He wondered if it would still be useful for someone like Ao Xiao, who was already a powerful being at the level of Karma.
"Ao Xiao, I am willing to help you, and together we will fight our way up Mount Ling to save your father!"
"What?" Ao Xiao was shocked and looked at Lin Che in disbelief: "You, why did you do this? You also have a grudge against Tathagata? Why did you help me? You and I are not related."
Do I need a reason?
"Don't you need it?"
"Alright! I'll tell you my reasons!" Lin Che's voice also became serious: "I respect people with loyalty and righteousness the most, including dragons. Your affection for your father has deeply moved me. Besides, your father once followed the ancient Human Emperor, he was a great contributor. How could I stand by and watch him die? Moreover, I cannot bear to see human suffering. Even when you try to absorb the life force and fortune of the human race, I will intervene. That Buddha dared to oppress you like this, you are also a victim. Therefore, I will help you!"
Ao Xiao nodded: "That makes a lot of sense! Can I treat my injuries first?"
"Oh, of course. I have another pill here, take it. It will be very helpful for your injuries." Lin Che handed over the Ancient Spirit Contract Pill.
Ao Xiao shook his head repeatedly: "No need, no need. This pill looks extremely precious. I already owe you for your help, I absolutely cannot accept this pill. Please take it back."
"This was specially prepared for you. Just take it!"
"This pill of yours, it's not... some kind of poison, is it?" Ao Xiao looked at Lin Che suspiciously.
Lin Che, without batting an eye, replied calmly, "Absolutely not! It's wrong of you to doubt me like that. If I wanted to kill you, do you think you could escape?"
“That makes sense… but I’ll pass. This pill looks rather strange to me; it’s somewhat similar to a contract pill I once saw on a bamboo slip. Back then, many martial artists wanted to capture our dragon race and keep them as pets.”
Lin Che's lips twitched slightly. He hadn't expected Ao Xiao to know so much.
Unfortunately, you old rascal had no choice.
A merciful general cannot command an army!
He came here alone, and the reason he didn't kill Ao Xiao was because Ao Xiao still had some use to him.
"If you don't want to take the pill, then don't. Transfer your causal power to me. Once my strength increases, I can also go with you to save your father."
“My power of cause and effect is all inherited. I will never teach anyone, and besides, you are human, I am dragon. There are too many differences between us. I believe that as long as we work together, we can definitely save my father.”
Lin Che shook his head: "Since you don't trust me at all, you must be harboring resentment and want to take this opportunity to kill me. Although I don't want to kill you, for the sake of all living beings..."
"What pills? I'll take them!" Ao Xiao said decisively, with an air of righteous indignation.
Lin Che slowly lowered his fist, which had been burning the flames of the Human Emperor. It seemed that in the face of absolute truth, everything had to be compromised.
Lin Che handed the ancient Qiling Pill to Ao Xiao.
Ao Xiao hesitated for a moment, thinking: I've never seen this kind of pill before. It looks a bit like a contract pill, but it's impossible to really refine a pill that can form a contract with a dragon. I just need to pretend to take it, and then secretly spit it out later. This might be some kind of poison or Gu worm, but alas, whatever it is, it's useless against my cultivation level.
Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, this is still much more worthwhile than passing on the power of cause and effect to Lin Che. If he doesn't eat it, he might die. In any case, it's all for saving his father, so he should accept Lin Che's kindness.
Finally, Ao Xiao had no choice but to throw it into his mouth.
【bite--】
Just as Ao Xiao put the Ancient Spirit-Binding Pill into his mouth, Lin Che heard the system notification.
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully formed a contract with an ancient dragon. Ao Xiao (in his current form), current loyalty: 30%!]
What?
Is this just Ao Xiao's present form? Does that mean he also has a past form and a future form? No wonder it's only 30%.
What a miscalculation!
Lin Che instantly revealed an angry expression: "Can you feel it? Is this poison or a Spirit Contract Pill? I command you, will you obey? Sigh! How disheartening, judging others by one's own petty standards! Humph!"
