435 Rift Demons (1/2)
”S-Senior Su…? How much do you know about that monster that nearly destroyed the Southern Continent — the Great Calamity?” Qin Liangyu asked him.
”That monster is a being that should exist only within the Dimension Rift — a Rift Demon. Rift Demons come in all shapes and sizes, there's not a single Rift Demon that looks exactly the same as another. The only thing similar about these Rift Demons are their strength. Because they are all born in the same harsh environment, they are all extremely tough and powerful.”
”As for the Dimension Rift… it's basically a void-like place you must enter whenever you travel an extremely long distance from one place to another using teleportation, so there's a chance you might encounter a Rift Demon whenever you teleport somewhere very far.”
”Of course, Rift Demons are not common encounters. In fact, they are very rare.”
”Wait a second… If the Great Calamity originated from the Mirror of Darkness, what are the chances of another one appearing in the future?” Qin Liangyu asked with a worried frown.
”Although it's not impossible, it's also very unlikely,” said Tang Lingxi. ”Like I'd said, only very weak Rift Demons have a chance to escape from the Rift Dimension, but even then, most of them will die trying.”
”By the way, you mentioned something about the Southern Region becoming more dangerous lately, right? This treasure you have here is probably the cause of that.” Tang Lingxi said.
”What? Why would that be the case?!” Qin Liangyu responded with a baffled look.
”While you may not be able to see it, I can sense a sinister aura hidden deep within that eye, and it's probably affecting the nature around it. Furthermore, it's growing slightly with each passing day. After another hundred years, this place will probably become a nest that is filled with powerful spiritual beasts.”
”No way... ” Qin Liangyu mumbled in a distressed voice. ”I-Is there any way to solve this problem?!”
Tang Lingxi nodded and said, ”It's really simple, actually. Just destroy it or throw it away.”
”T-That's…” Qin Liangyu became hesitant. Such a task was much easier said than done, as this treasure has been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years. If this tradition ended with her, she will never be able to sleep through this disgrace.
”There won't be any tradition to uphold if the Southern Continent gets crushed by countless spiritual beasts, right? How about this? I will take that treasure off your hand, since I actually have a use for it, unlike you guys, who will only keep it as a decoration.” Tang Lingxi said with a mysterious light in her eyes.
”...”
After hearing Tang Lingxi's suggestion, Qin Liangyu closed her eyes to ponder in silence.
”Of course, I won't take something that valuable for free. I'll compensate you. How does three Immortal-grade Cultivation Techniques sound? It'll surely be more useful to you than that eyeball.”
”Im-Immortal-grade techniques?! And three of them?!” Qin Liangyu's jaw dropped to the ground.
Forget about Immortal-grade techniques, they don't even have a single cultivation technique at the Heaven-grade!
”What? Is that not enough?” Tang Lingxi raised an eyebrow.
Qin Liangyu quickly shook her head. ”Of course not! It's more than enough! In fact, it's too much!”
”Then are you willing to trade?”
