"Can you really trust me?" Xu Shan asked, looking at the bloody forehead of the man.
The old man looked up, as blood trickled down his forehead. He didn't have the answer to that question himself. He could only send Xu Shan to the Divine Realm. However, he couldn't force him to help him.
What Xu Shan did after reaching the Divine Realm was up to him, and no one else. It was quite likely that he wasn't going to care in the least after getting there.
Fortunately, he had a method. That's the reason he was even willing to take this risk.
He raised his hand, revealing a small golden bracelet.
Xu Shan glanced at the bracelet in the man's hand. To his surprise, he could feel a spirit in the bracelet as well. It was a spiritual treasure!
"Once you wear that bracelet, I'll believe that you'll save her..." The old man stated. "This bracelet is connected to her. It can only be worn, but it can't be taken off. Not without a drop of blood from my daughter..."
"And what happens if I can't take it off?" Xu Shan asked, picking up the bracelet with curiosity.
"If you can't take it off within a month after wearing it... You'll die." The old man stood up. He wiped the blood off his forehead from his sleeves.
Xu Shan frowned. "So this is what gave you the confidence that you can tie me to help you?"
"What if she dies before I can save her? Won't I be screwed in that case?"
"Don't worry. They won't kill her, at least not yet. And if she is killed, the bracelet will open on its own. So you will be safe..." The old man explained.
Xu Shan didn't face any risks, according to him. At least as long as he was able to save his daughter within a month. However, there were also flaws to his plan.
He didn't want to antagonize Xu Shan, since all that guy needed to do to be free was to either kill his daughter within a month, or just take her blood!
That's why, he made it out as a request, going as far as to bow his head. He thought that if Xu Shan went to his daughter, then saving her was child's play for him.
If he could have that much mercy, then it was worth it. In any case, it was better than the fate that the people above had planned for his daughter.
Xu Shan glanced at Xinren. However, in the end, he wore the bracelet in front of the old man.
As soon as he wore the bracelet, the bracelet tightened around his wrist to the point that he couldn't even move it in the slightest.
ƥαṇdαηθνε| The old man's face brightened, as he repeatedly thanked Xu Shan.
He hastily rushed toward the bookshelf. Xu Shan was in a hurry to go to the Divine Realm. However, he was in even more of a hurry.
He pushed the shelf aside, revealing a door that was hidden by the shelf. He used a special key to open the door, and led Xu Shan inside, where a Spatial Formation still existed.
"This is the spatial formation that the person from the Divine Realm created when he took my Ancestor with him! We've maintained that Formation. However, we never used it, since we aren't strong enough to travel through the spatial barriers. However, it's different if it's you!"
The old man closed the door behind him.
Xu Shan was amazed at how intricate the formation was. This was much more complicated. He was sure that he couldn't make something like this, no matter how hard he tried.
A formation like this could be activated with Spirit Stones. The old man brought a few high grade spirit stones that he had kept safe, and placed them in all formation points.
Xu Shan walked inside the spatial formation, standing in the center. The formation started shining, filling the entire hall in light.
Xu Shan could see the old man on his knees, with his head lowered. He was saying something, but Xu Shan couldn't hear. Still, he was clear that the man was again begging him.
The spatial formation took all the energy from the Spirit Stones, trying to open a passage. However, Xinren felt that the formation didn't have enough energy for this to work.
Even Xu Shan felt that. He brought a few spirit stones of his own, and crushed them inside the formation. The additional energy finally helped the formation.
A blinding light flashed. And by the time it disappeared, Xu Shan was also gone.
The old man remained on his knees, watching the empty space. "Please save her from that fate..."
****
The Divine Realm...a world that was far away from the Celestial Realm. Unlike the Celestial Realm, the Divine Realm had only one Major Kingdom.
However, it also had some more prominent forces, like the Tower of Divination, whose Divination never went wrong! Fortunately, the Tower of Divination never involved themselves in the war of influence. They only focused on Divinations.
There were also times when some Divination was auctioned at the sky high price, like the information about the Celestial Lotus.
The atmosphere inside the Tower of Divination was always calm. The Divine Saints had made so many Divinations through their lives, yet not a single divination of theirs had ever failed.
However, correctly, there was one Divine Saint who was sitting in the central hall of the Tower of Divination, trying to Divine the next important event in the future of this world.
Most of the time, it was easy for him to see the future, as he was the oldest Divine Saint. Even the Queen of the Divine Realm had to treat him with respect.
However, at the moment, the old Saint was sitting in a meditative position. His entire body was covered in sweat, which was a rare sight.
