"How do you know he won't harm us?" The old man's expression was solemn, and his gaze towards Ye Qiu was filled with murderous intent.
"he..."
"Let me explain." Ye Qiu stopped Meng Ke, took two steps forward, and said seriously, "Clan Chief, I accidentally fell into the Nether Sea. After waking up, I inexplicably appeared here. But rest assured, I will not mention anything about this place to anyone. If I do, may I be struck by lightning."
“I don’t believe any oaths unless you become one of our villagers,” the old man said in a deep voice.
What do you mean?
"Find a girl in our village, marry her, and have children. Only then will we believe you," the old man said very seriously.
Ye Qiu was dumbfounded. What kind of crazy move was this?
“Senior, this is indeed a bit too much to ask. Is there another way? For example, I can leave your village immediately, or if you have any methods to erase my memories, you can use them on me. But staying to get married and have children is really not an option,” Ye Qiu said patiently.
"No discussion."
The old clan chief remained resolute.
Helpless, Ye Qiu looked to Meng Ke for help.
Meng Ke snorted coldly: "Didn't you just tell me not to say anything? Why don't you just stay, get married, and have kids?"
"Who would I marry and have children with? You?"
"You wish."
"Cute girl, please help me, I can't stay here." Ye Qiu said with a wry smile.
I'll do my best.
Meng Ke took a deep breath and then looked at the old clan chief: "Grandpa Clan Chief, he himself was willing to accept the method of erasing his memory, which means that he really has no bad intentions. Although we have rules that prohibit outsiders from entering, rules are rigid, but people are flexible. Maybe if we save him today, he will repay our village in the future. It is better to form a good relationship than to leave a bad cause behind."
"Am I not creating good karma? Let him stay, choose a good match, get married and have children. Isn't that good karma?" The old clan chief stroked his beard, calm and composed.
“This…” Meng Ke was both amused and exasperated: “Marriage is a serious matter, how can it be treated like a child’s play?”
“I don’t care, I want him to be like this.”
The old clan chief's attitude was frighteningly firm.
"Elder Chief, marriage and having children are impossible. Tell me, how can I change your mind?" Ye Qiu stared at the elder chief.
After thinking for a moment, the old clan chief said, "It's not that it can't be changed. Our village has an altar. If you can ascend the altar, it means you have gained the approval of our village's ancestors. At that time, whether you stay or leave will be up to you."
Conversely, if you cannot ascend the altar, then you must listen to me and accept my arrangements. What do you think?
"Okay," Ye Qiu agreed.
Although he agreed, Ye Qiu already had his own ideas.
If they fail to ascend the altar, they should flee immediately; they must not stay to marry and have children, even if it means death.
Soon after, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ye Qiu was practically carried to the ancient village altar.
The altar was entirely golden and exuded a sacred aura. Ye Qiu only glanced at it a few times before feeling an unparalleled sense of oppression.
If this altar weren't located in an ancient village, Ye Qiu would have suspected that it was left behind by some ancient supreme being.
"Kid, get started. We're all waiting to see your performance."
The old clan chief said with a smile.
"Tsk, if this kid can get onto my clan's altar, I'll eat shit."
"The old clan chief is determined to let this boy stay, get married, and have children. You know, in our village, only Meng Ke and the old clan chief can go up to the altar. How could an outsider like him possibly go up?"
"As long as it's not marrying Meng Ke, anything else is fine with me, I don't care," a young man said indifferently.
"You're still thinking about Meng Ke? Meng Ke is the holy maiden of our village. Even if you cultivate at an extraordinary speed, it won't work. Just give up on that idea. Hey, Brother Meng Hu, look, that kid has actually started climbing the altar."
...
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ye Qiu began to walk step by step toward the altar, taking his first step up the stairs.
As Ye Qiu stepped onto the first step, the golden altar inexplicably trembled.
Then, an ancient golden rune appeared, conjuring a blurry shadow on the altar.
Ye Qiu immediately felt an immense sense of pressure, as if he were facing an unparalleled supreme being.
But Ye Qiu was not afraid. He stood tall and strode up several steps.
boom.
The golden altar shone brightly, and the blurry figure actually took a few steps back.
This scene shocked everyone present, causing them to change color.
"What's going on? Why is the ancestral Dao image retreating?"
"Hiss, what's going on? Why is the ancestral Dao shadow retreating? This doesn't make sense."
Many people gasped in surprise, finding it hard to understand.
This is the first time such a situation has occurred.
The old patriarch clenched his fists instantly, watching Ye Qiu's every move closely.
Ye Qiu did not stop and continued to climb upwards at a fast pace, without encountering any obstacles.
Or rather, there were obstacles, but for Ye Qiu, they were neither painful nor bothersome.
When Ye Qiu ascended the ninth step, the powerful pressure emanating from the altar completely vanished.
Ye Qiu ascended the altar with ease. Standing on the altar, bathed in golden light, he felt incredibly comfortable, and his magical power was rapidly recovering.
Opposite him, the blurry golden figure seemed to be sizing up Ye Qiu.
After a while, Golden Shadow slightly raised his hand, isolating himself from the outside world and preventing people outside from seeing anything on the altar.
Then, a vague voice rang out in Ye Qiu's mind: "I never expected to encounter a Chaos Dao Body."
"The senior is still alive?"
Ye Qiu was greatly surprised.
"Don't get agitated. This is just a Dao shadow I left behind. Young man, you're not from this world, are you? You come from the outside?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu's expression immediately changed: "How...how did you know?"
"Because the Chaos Dao Body cannot appear in this realm, you will know the specific reason in the future. However, since you have come here and accidentally entered this place, it is fate. I have a sword technique here. I once used it to kill a True Immortal. Are you interested in practicing it?" The golden shadow stared intently at Ye Qiu, his aura profound.
Ye Qiu was slightly taken aback. He was going to impart his teachings right off the bat? What kind of approach was this?
