Chapter 1265 The Sacred Oath
?The masked Divine Messenger said to Ji Yuan and his group, "I have a good way of proving if you are right in their guess."
Ji Yuan chucked weakly, "And you have sent them away so that you can tell me what it is? Is it really so secretive?"
The masked Divine Messenger smiled coldly, "Indeed you are not wrong to say that. But don\'t you want to know why I want to know the hierographic name for?"
Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "This has got to do with proving if my guess is right, am I right to say so? And it also got to do with why you have sent the desolate cultivators away too."
The masked Divine Messenger laughed aloud, "Right. You are smart and I like to deal with smart people."
Ji Yuan smiled bitterly, "If I don\'t want to know the reason why then I don\'t need to prove it, right?"
The masked Divine Messenger said coldly, "This is not for you to decide…"
Then he said, "I am really curious why there are so many human cultivators in this place and that you even know about the Ancient Battleground of the Fallen Gods."
Ji Yuan chuckled, "Naturally, I have heard about it from the manifestation of the Great Beyond Goddess. Is this common knowledge?"
He had made an intelligent guess that the immortals of the immortal realms had all received the same message by the manifestations of the Great Beyond Goddess.
In order for his opponent not to second guess him, Ji Yuan had decided to take the offensive by saying. "I am more curious how did you know about this? Aren\'t you from the Nine Abyss Realms and not from the Six Immortal Realms? How did you know about this?"
The masked Divine Messenger answered coldly, "The immortals of the Nine Abyss Realms have also received the same message too…"
Ji Yuan interrupted him, "And that is why you are here? To make preparations for the Ancient Battleground of the Fallen Gods?"
The masked Divine Messenger appeared to be startled for a while and Ji Yuan could see from his subtle hesitation that he may be right about his guess.
Ji Yuan quickly said, "I am here for the same reason too. To make myself stronger before the upcoming calamity. Who knows if we may meet again at the Ancient Battleground of the Fallen Gods."
He had quickly said that so that the Divine Messenger would not have the time to think and to question him.
The masked Divine Messenger said slowly, "I am here to do the same too but it is under the divine will of my Philosopher Goddess."
Ji Yuan grinned, "I am eager to meet her too."
Anyang giggled in Ji Yuan\'s soul sea: Eager to meet her and to obtain the Divine Philosopher Stone from her.
Xiang Li was also giggling: And to obtain the body of the Philosopher Goddess as well.
Ji Yuan: …
He muttered to them in secret: Stop distracting me. Can\'t you see that I am in the middle of an important talk. This talk is between life and death…
Xiang Li interrupted him with a soft chuckle: My Big Brother will surely win! I don\'t think he is stronger than the Great Demon God.
Ji Yuan frowned: You know that we are below the desolate mists now and I can\'t muster or regain my profound strength as readily, right? Therefore, I have no advantages in this place.
Xiang Li protested immediately: But Maiden Sisi, the Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei and the Goddess Destiny are all here too.
Anyang pointed out: And you have Maiden Ling Feiyue to use your combined sword profound art too.
Xiang Li giggled: And Maiden Xue Qianxue\'s battle goddess animus can also protect you.
Ji Yuan decided to ignore the two of them for now.
He turned to say to the masked Divine Messenger, "So, what do you want me to do to prove that my conjecture is correct?"
The masked Divine Messenger said slowly, "Easy enough. Why don\'t I take you to the place where you can prove if you are right?"
Ji Yuan quickly said, "Wait! What if I am wrong?"
The masked Divine Messenger laughed coldly, "Then you will surely die."
Ji Yuan: …
He weakly said, "And what if I am right? So what?"
The masked Divine Messenger said to him, "If you are proven right then you shall able to obtain the Dark Heavens Eye."
Ji Yuan asked curiously, "The Dark Heavens Eye? What is it used for?"
The masked Divine Messenger hummed coldly, "This is not for you to know."
All of a sudden, Ji Yuan was grinning. "You are not afraid that I will take this profound treasure for myself?"
The masked Divine Messenger laughed coldly, "I am afraid that you won\'t be able to know how to use it. This is reason one. The second reason is, I have to asked all of you to make an oath not to take it for yourself."
The oath of an immortal is sacred and unbreakable. Any immortal that breaks their own oath will receive a terrible backlash that will kill them.
Even if an immortal do not make an oath, their words are sacred and represent partially the heavenly dao. Breaking their words will also cause a backlash and is detrimental to their future cultivations. In some cases, their cultivation may even decrease!
For the celestial cultivators or any cultivators, they are still able to lie but it is detrimental to their future cultivation.
But for their oaths to their soul sea, it is still as sacred as the immortals and they will even die when they break it.
Ji Yuan took a look at his group and asked them, "Well, what do you think?"
Shui Xisi said nonchalantly, "I have no objections about it."
Ling Feiyue and Xue Qianxue smiled to Ji Yuan as they said at the same time, "We will leave this matter to you to decide."
Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei looked at Ji Yuan with a look of worship, "Master Ji Yuan, I will abide by your decision."
The Goddess Destiny was also nodding, "I have no objections to this as well."
Ji Yuan then said to the masked Divine Messenger, "Then you and your Nine Abyss Realms will not harm the desolate cultivators that are in this cave earlier."
The masked Divine Messenger nodded, "This is reasonable enough."
In order for an oath to be effective, there must be an equivalent exchange.
Making oaths of loyalty actually doesn\'t affect the immortals as it will impede with the immortal\'s restriction on cultivating the way of the heavenly dao and they won\'t receive any backlash for it.
Ji Yuan slowly nodded before he returned his look to the masked Divine Messenger and said with his hand on his chest, "We promise you that we will not take Dark Heavens Eye for ourselves if we can deduce the correct hierographic name. This, I will make an oath to my soul sea in the name of the Heavenly Dao and the Great Beyond Goddess."
The rest of his group quickly did the same as they made this sacred oath together.
The masked Divine Messenger said, "I will represent the Nine Abyss Realms not to harm these desolate cultivators that are here earlier for a period of 10 years. And I will not personally harm them for 10 years as well. That is, if they do not attack the Nine Abyssal Realms first."
Ji Yuan frowned, "10 years?! Isn\'t it too short? You seem to be adding a little too many conditions."
The masked Divine Messenger said coldly to him, "This is good enough. I can\'t stop any accidental deaths by my Nine Abyss Realms and I can only represent myself. But this should keep them safe enough."
Ji Yuan frowned before he extended his hands, "Alright then. Then let\'s seal this oath with our fists."
The masked Divine Messenger nodded as he hit Ji Yuan\'s fist with his fist, "Let this sacred oath be sealed then."
Then he looked satisfied as he took out an orb from his spatial storage belt, "Very well. I shall now take you to that place now."
