Chapter 2599 - Taoism (1/2)
Han Sen didn’t believe him, but he hadn’t yet tried the test that Yu Shanxin had suggested. He wanted to help Lone Bamboo, but he wasn’t going to the Very High on his friend’s behalf.
Seeing Han Sen leave, Yu Shanxin smiled. He did not get mad at Han Sen’s rejection.
Back on the small jade island, Han Sen continued to absorb King genes. He wanted to get The Story of Genes to the ninth tier as soon as he could.
Han Sen called Gu Qingcheng over to discuss the matter of Lone Bamboo. Gu Qingcheng listened to his tale and said to him, “Yu Shanxin is correct. It doesn’t matter who ends up going, but Sky Palace will need to send someone else to the Very High. Their demand cannot be ignored.”
“Sky Palace has many people. Is it necessary for me to go?” Han Sen said. Gu Qingcheng shook her head. “It isn’t that simple. If it was, Sky Palace wouldn’t have put their beloved son in jail. I don’t think Sky Palace can choose which individual goes. They will need a person that interests the Very High. Otherwise, a swap won’t work. And that is why Yu Shanxin is trying to convince you.”
“I’m not stupid. I won’t go even if they personally invite me. And he wants me to beg before the Very High like I’m a slave?” Han Sen said with a lift of his lips.
“It isn’t like that. To normal people, going to the Very High is a grand opportunity. They are the ones who want to do the begging. You and Lone Bamboo are special. If you weren’t special, I don’t think the Very High would care as much as they do now,” Gu Qingcheng smiled as she spoke.
“Is there no other way?” Han Sen asked.
“That would depend on Sky Palace. If they don’t want to enter a disagreement with the Very High, they will have to send someone no matter what.”
The two of them discussed the matter a little more, but they were unable to come up with any ideas. Their power wouldn’t be nearly enough to go against the Very High. Whatever they tried would be ineffective.
“If Lone Bamboo hasn’t been taken away, that means there is room for negotiation. We will find a way to navigate through this.” Han Sen kept trying to think of a way to help Lone Bamboo as he practiced.
“Brother Han, there is a meeting with the Very High. Are you joining?” Yun Suyi asked with a look of anger. She had come over to visit the little jade island.
“What meeting?” Han Sen asked with confusion. He had been recovering there for some time, so he hadn’t heard a thing about a meeting Yun Suyi explained, “The younger Very High and Sky will be exchanging geno arts. They said there is to be a discussion, but it is more like the Very High will talk and we will just sit there listening.”
“What will they talk about?” Han Sen asked with curiosity.
“The geno arts of the Very High are very expansive. They know the geno arts of many races, so they can talk about anything.” “They’re really that good? Maybe I should go and listen, then.” Han Sen didn’t really want to go and listen to geno arts. He just wanted to confirm that this Exquisite was the same Exquisite he had encountered in the core area.
He established a time with Yun Suyi. The next night, Han Sen took Bao’er and Gu Qingcheng with him. He met up with Yun Suyi and some other people from Sky Palace. Together, they joined the meeting.
The meeting was taking place on Thousand Lake Island. That island was strange. Its center was a lake, and the lake’s water constantly spilled onto the lower levels of the island. The whole island was like a sloped collection of lakes.
The Very High held their meeting at the center of the lake. There was a lotus platform that was around the size of a soccer pitch. It was floating in the center of the lake, and there were pavilions scattered around it.
