Qin Luo felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that this was the remnant soul of the Supreme One communicating directly with him.
He quickly clasped his hands in greeting and said:
“Senior, although those primordial spirit liquids are rare, if they can help you unleash your power, it will be making the best use of them.”
After saying this, Qin Luo could clearly feel a sharp gaze fixed on him.
Immediately afterwards, the Supreme Remnant Soul seemed to sneer. The laughter echoed in Qin Luo's mind, but it did not bring him any pleasure. Instead, it seemed to be trying to see into his deepest thoughts.
“You youngster, you’re not being honest. But since you’ve awakened me and allowed me to avenge my great grudge, I will not treat you unfairly.”
"My remnant soul is ultimately unable to exist between heaven and earth for long. Rather than gradually disappearing into nothingness in the long river of time, I might as well use this to help you advance a few realms. In this way, you will not have made your journey in vain."
"But once my remnant soul's power dissipates, how much you can absorb will depend on your own fate."
As soon as he finished speaking, a deep, eerie light suddenly appeared within the black mist.
Qin Luo was taken aback by the sight, clearly not expecting the remnant soul to act so directly.
His mind raced, and casting aside all worries, he clasped his hands and said loudly:
"Please wait, senior!"
These words caused the black mist, which was about to make a move, to freeze instantly.
Within the black mist, a pair of seemingly tangible eyes were fixed on Qin Luo, filled with doubt.
Qin Luo paused briefly, carefully considering his words, then mustered his courage and tentatively asked in a soft voice:
"Did you never consider being able to live again, senior?"
Though the words were spoken softly, they made the surrounding air seem heavier.
The supreme remnant soul remained silent for a long time. After a moment, that ethereal voice resounded in Qin Luo's mind once more:
"To survive? My true form has already perished. How easy is it to rebuild it? The rare and precious materials and spiritual opportunities required are all things that can only be encountered by chance."
"Moreover, such a remnant soul is severely damaged. It will probably perish again before it even reaches Chenhui tomorrow, let alone be resurrected. You should... um?"
The Supreme Remnant Soul had just accused Qin Luo of being arrogant and ignorant, but before he could finish speaking, he caught sight of the palm-sized jade stone in Qin Luo's hand, and his voice stopped abruptly.
The jade was warm and lustrous, with a flowing halo on its surface, like a dream.
The spiritual essence contained within the jade wafted out in wisps, permeating the surroundings.
The spiritual energy was rich and pure, and it carried a unique vitality. Even with the power and experience of a supreme remnant soul, one could not help but be moved by it.
It could clearly sense that this jade stone had stirred an irresistible impulse within its own remnant soul, which had been sealed away for thousands of years, making it eager to throw itself into it.
Seeing the Supreme Soul's reaction, Qin Luo's heart stirred, and he said softly:
"Senior, this is the Soul Nourishing Jade. This jade has the ability to nourish the soul and repair the spiritual body. Perhaps it can be of some help to your current situation. What do you think, Senior?"
After saying that, Qin Luo stared intently at the black mist, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, the Supreme Remnant Soul did not respond immediately, but remained silent, its deep and invisible gaze fixed on Qin Luo.
After a long while, its ethereal voice slowly resonated in Qin Luo's mind:
"Even a mere wisp of a supreme remnant soul is a rare and precious opportunity. Are you truly trying to help me be reborn, or are you plotting to seize the peerless martial arts techniques hidden in my mind? Or do you feel that my remnant soul is not yet enough to satisfy your ambition, so you intend to imprison and nurture me to slowly extract my power in the future?"
"Don't rush to defend yourself. I can sense the sincerity in your words, but it's not purely out of selflessness. You'd better tell the truth, otherwise..."
Although his tone was calm, it carried an undeniable sense of pressure, making Qin Luo feel the air around him grow heavier and his breath catch in his throat.
Qin Luo smiled bitterly to himself. He had expected that the Supreme Remnant Soul would have some doubts. After all, anyone would have some concerns in the face of such an opportunity.
He took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"Senior, I do have my own selfish motives. But they are not things that are immoral or immoral, nor are they for the purpose of taking away your memories."
"It was actually for a request, or perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a promise."
"A request? A promise?"
Upon hearing this, the Supreme Remnant Soul's doubts deepened, and the invisible pressure seemed to intensify slightly as it enveloped Qin Luo.
Qin Luo didn't care at all and said loudly:
“That’s right, I will tell you the truth. If I am fortunate enough to help you successfully resurrect, I would like to ask you to protect a race for ten years after you return to the world. This is my only request and I have no other intentions.”
That's it?
"That's right, just this one simple request." Qin Luo replied calmly, "If Senior is unwilling, then this junior will not force you. Having said this, this junior has no face to absorb Senior's remnant soul to improve my own cultivation."
"I only wish that you, senior, could make your own choice, or use this remnant soul to travel more in this world and see this beautiful land."
After speaking, Qin Luo held up the jade in his hand, his posture respectful yet composed, handing over the choice to it.
The Supreme Remnant Soul truly sensed the frankness in his words and fell into a long silence.
In that quiet moment, fragments of past memories flooded his mind, causing a fleeting, deep resentment and unwillingness to flash across his eyes.
After a short while, it spoke in a seemingly casual tone:
“Interesting kid, it’s only a ten-year period, right? To me, it’s just a fleeting moment, like a short nap.”
After he finished speaking, the black mist that had been floating in the air methodically entered the Soul Nourishing Jade under Qin Luo's gaze.
In an instant, the Soul-Nourishing Jade trembled slightly, and its internal spiritual energy surged.
At the same time, a very comfortable moan rang out, but it was so quick that it disappeared even faster, and Qin Luo outside did not hear or notice it.
The soft moan seemed to emanate from the depths of the Soul-Nourishing Jade, carrying an indescribable pleasure. It was as if, the moment the supreme remnant soul merged with the Soul-Nourishing Jade, it felt a long-lost nourishment and comfort, its body and mind completely immersed in it, and for a moment...
Seeing this, Qin Luo felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. Now that half of Dan Bingli's matter was settled, the next step was to find the resurrection materials needed for the Supreme Remnant.
"I don't know if two and a half years will be enough. If it really doesn't work, I'll have no choice but to forcibly take Dan Bingli away. But that would probably make her resent me a lot, wouldn't it?"
