Chapter 4058: Divine Soul Token

“Killing a Six Tribulation Half-Saint would be a waste!”

Looking at the panicked Zhong Yu begging for mercy, Shen Changqing remained silent for a moment, ultimately deciding not to kill him.

Just as he said, a Six Tribulation Half-Saint who could be used by him would be a significant asset.

Although he could kill a Six Tribulation Half-Saint with ease now, Shen Changqing knew that such a powerful figure was not so simple.

For most cultivators, a Six Tribulation Half-Saint was an existence to be looked up to.

And for Shen Changqing

, a living Zhong Yu was far more useful than a dead one.

Jiang Daoxuan nodded upon hearing this, and then his right hand made a grabbing motion in the air. Zhong Yu felt something being forcibly pulled away, and his face turned deathly pale.

Immediately afterward,

Daoist immortal power gathered in Jiang Daoxuan’s palm, and in a short while, a white jade token appeared.

“This token was forged from a wisp of his divine soul, and is inextricably linked to his life. If he ever harbors any rebellious intentions, you only need to crush this token to completely obliterate him.”

As Jiang Daoxuan spoke, he casually handed the token to Shen Changqing, who naturally expressed his gratitude.

Manipulating a Six Tribulation Half-Saint is not so easy.

Although Shen Changqing possessed some methods to set restrictions, they were only effective against Immortal Emperors.

Restraining a Half-Saint was naturally not so easy.

Unless,

the Heavenly Soul Curse was upgraded several levels, then restrictions effective against Six Tribulation Half-Saints could be set.

However, upgrading the Heavenly Soul Curse required resources, and even if it were deduced, Shen Changqing would need time to cultivate and master it.

He couldn’t truly trust a Half-Saint who had betrayed the Divine Sun Immortal Court without any means of restraint.

After all,

who could guarantee

this wasn’t a scheme orchestrated by the Divine Sun Immortal Court itself?

If Zhong Yu were to launch a surprise attack at a crucial moment, it would be disastrous.

But now that problem is gone.

Jiang Daoxuan personally used Zhong Yu’s soul as a guide to refine a restriction, putting Zhong Yu’s life in his own hands.

Regardless of whether Zhong Yu truly submitted, there was no possibility of him betraying him.

If Zhong Yu harbored any rebellious thoughts, Shen Changqing could instantly eliminate him.

As for whether the token was effective, Shen Changqing had no doubt.

For a Dao Venerable, restricting a Half-Saint was a piece of cake.

On the other side,

Zhong Yu looked at the token in Shen Changqing’s hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

With this token in hand, his life was essentially in Shen Changqing’s hands, thus saving his life.

If Shen Changqing hadn’t had any leverage over him, Zhong Yu knew he could have lost his life at any moment.

But now, it was different.

Being controlled by someone else wasn’t a big problem for Zhong Yu.

As long as he didn’t betray him, the restriction was as good as non-existent.

Moreover…

With this restriction in place, the Xuan Tian Sword Master would actually trust him more.

From the moment he betrayed the Divine Sun Immortal Court, Zhong Yu understood that he had no way out.

If Shen Changqing didn’t accept him, even if the other party didn’t attack him, the Divine Sun Immortal Court would never let it go.

There was only one way to survive: cling to Shen Changqing’s coattails.

…

Half a day later.

Shen Changqing led Zhong Yu into the Heavenly Forging Mansion.

Upon learning of Shen Changqing’s arrival, Bai Lianchuan hurriedly came to see him.

“Greetings, Sect Master Shen!”

Seeing Shen Changqing again, Bai Lianchuan’s posture became even more humble than before, his eyes filled with fervor and awe.

Although he hadn’t personally gone to the Battle of the Chaotic Void, he had still glimpsed some of it.

The man before him had single-handedly killed numerous half-saints from six sects, nine dynasties, and thirteen holy lands, forcing many top forces in the Divine Wind Prefecture to temporarily retreat.

How could Bai Lianchuan not feel awe at such strength?

Now, he felt incredibly wise about his decision to pledge allegiance to Shen Changqing.

Such a powerful figure, barring an unexpected demise, would undoubtedly achieve far more than he could have imagined. For

the Heavenly Forging Mansion to have even a slight connection with such a powerful individual was, in Bai Lianchuan’s view, a tremendous stroke of luck.

Zhong Yu, standing silently to the side, remained silent.

Bai Lianchuan, looking at him, politely cupped his hands in greeting: “Greetings, Senior Zhong!”

“Lord Bai Lianchuan is too kind.”

Seeing Bai Lianchuan greet him, Zhong Yu forced a smile, not ignoring him.

Although he didn’t know the relationship between Shen Changqing and the Heavenly Forging Mansion, the fact that the other party had come in person was enough to show that the two were not simple.

Even though Bai Lianchuan was only a minor Immortal Emperor, Zhong Yu dared not show any contempt.

Who knew just how close their relationship truly was?

If they were intimately connected, disrespecting Bai Lianchuan would be tantamount to courting death.

Having cultivated for many years, Zhong Yu possessed this kind of insight, and he understood the ways of the world.

Shen Changqing said, “In this battle, I have thoroughly offended some of the top forces in Shenfeng Prefecture. They might hold a grudge against Tianzhu Mansion because of our relationship.

Now that I have established a sect foundation in Dongming Immortal Prefecture, if Lord Bailian Mansion is willing, Tianzhu Mansion can go to Dongming Immortal Prefecture together.

But I wonder what Lord Bailian Mansion’s opinion is on this?”

“Dongming Immortal Prefecture!”

Upon hearing this name, Bailian Chuan’s expression froze. How could he be unfamiliar with the names of the Four Immortal Prefectures?

The next moment, Bailian Chuan

bowed deeply to Shen Changqing without hesitation.

“Tianzhu Mansion is willing to serve Sect Master Shen faithfully, even unto death!”

Shentian Domain is indeed impressive, but as Shen Changqing said, Tianzhu Mansion has a close relationship with it. If the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands were to hold a grudge against them, it would be a catastrophic disaster.

Of course,

this is only one aspect.

What truly made Bai Lianchuan make the decision without hesitation was that this matter could further strengthen the relationship between Tianzhu Mansion and the other party.

Tianzhu Mansion must firmly grasp such a future supreme powerhouse and absolutely cannot let him go.

Once this opportunity is missed, it will be too late to regret.

Therefore,

when Shen Changqing spoke, Bai Lianchuan immediately agreed without the slightest hesitation.

“Alright, I will give Tianzhu Mansion three days to prepare everything. They will accompany me to Dongming Immortal Prefecture in three days!”

“Also—”

Shen Changqing paused.

“You can also send someone to the Jianming Dao Sect to explain this matter.

If the Jianming Dao Sect wants to leave together, they can come to Tianzhu Mansion within three days to meet up. Those who are late will not be waited for!”

After thinking for a moment,

Shen Changqing decided to give the Jianming Dao Sect a chance as well.

Many forces had submitted to the Xuantian Dao Sect in the past, but only a few truly mattered to Shen Changqing.

Tianzhu Mansion was one.

The Jianming Dao Sect was another.
