Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Chapter 145 145: Rare Constitution

?

Initially, he thought that he had to beg the man, but now that he knew what Xu Shan needed, he was sure that he could convince him. 

"I think we should help," Xinren told Xu Shan. "Going back to the Celestial Realm is dangerous right now. If we can get answers right here, then it would be much faster.'

Xu Shan also agreed with her. However, he didn't like the feeling of someone forcing him to do what they wanted, in exchange for something he needed. 

Unfortunately, time was of the essence. If he could save that girl in exchange for a way to get to Divine Realm, then it seemed worth his time. 

"How can I help your daughter?" He asked, passively agreeing. 

The old man's eyes revealed a glint of happiness. He had lost hope of saving his daughter, but now he finally had a way. 

"Come with me..." the old man said as he flew back towards his sect with the young man. 

Xu Shan was brought back to the most prosperous Sect of this world. Most of the Alchemists of this world resided in this place. Many youngsters could be seen, selling medicinal herbs along the way. Even more people could be seen buying. 

The Sect appeared quite ordinary. However, along the way, Xu Shan noticed that something appeared different about this sect. 

There was a barrier that he passed through. However, the barrier didn't stop anyone from entering or exiting. Which made the purpose of the barrier very unclear. 

Moreover, according to the Sect Master, this barrier wasn't cast by him or anyone in the sect. Instead, this barrier was cast by people much stronger than him... The people of Divine Realm. 

According to him, this wasn't the first time that people from the Divine Realm arrived here. If anything, amongst most of the lower realm worlds, this world had highest contact with the Divine Realm. 

That was because of the Ancestor of the Sect Master. 

"Thousands of years ago, a powerful person from the Divine Realm ended up in this realm, injured. It was quite similar to how you appeared. The only difference is that you weren't injured," the old man explained, as he landed at the entrance of a majestic building within the sect. 

"By sheer coincidence, that person was discovered by our Ancestor, who helped that man survive, through the knowledge of his alchemy."

"The man from the Divine Realm was so grateful, that he offered to take our Ancestor with him to the Divine Realm. While my Ancestor helped him medically, he helped our Ancestor, making him stronger. And in the end, he took him to the Divine Realm."

"Since then, we have had no contact with him. However, just a few years ago, his descendants came. Apparently my ancestor established his own sect in the Divine Realm, completely forgetting about us."

"What does that have to do with me helping your daughter?" Xu Shan frowned. He felt as if the old man was just wasting his time by talking about useless things. 

The old man scratched the back of his head. "It has everything to do with my daughter. Because the reason they came here was for my daughter..."

As the man spoke, he stopped before a certain room. He opened the door of the room, revealing an empty bedroom inside. 

In the room, there were some portraits of the old man, along with some portraits of his daughter, who appeared to be of similar age to Xu Shan. 

The room appeared as if no one lived here for years. The old man stopped before the portrait of her daughter, raising his head. 

"I don't know how they found out about the rare constitution of my daughter..." He spoke, letting out a sigh. "They said something about the Tower of Divination, from where they received this information."

"Tower of Divination?" Xu Shan repeated, wondering if the reason they found out about the Celestial Lotus was because of that as well. 

Otherwise, there should've been no way for that information to spread to the Divine Realm, so easily. Especially when even the people of this world didn't know about the Celestial Lotus. 

"So the descendants of your ancestor took your daughter?" Xu Shan asked, taking a guess with the information he had. 

The people of Divine Realm paid to attend to the people of lower realms. It was the same for the Celestial Realm. People of lower worlds were like ants to them. There was no way they were going to wait for the permission from the girl or her father. 

The old man let out a sigh, nodding. "They took her to the Divine Realm. The help I wanted... It was for you to save my daughter from her cruel fate..."

"I said I'll tell you a way to get to the Divine Realm if you help my daughter. However, I really can't use that bait to ask for help. Since, you have to go there to save her in the first place..."

"I can't stop you, if you were to just ignore my request after getting there. However, I beg you.... As a man, I've never bowed before anyone. However, I'm willing to even fall to your feet... This is a father's pleading... Please save my daughter's life..."

As the man spoke, he fell to his knees, and started hitting his head on the ground, near Xu Shan's feet. 

For a person with his dignity, falling to someone's knees was worse than death. However, for his daughter, he was willing to even go that far. 

Xu Shan was surprised himself. He thought he had to help her to find a path to get to the Divine Realm. However, he actually didn't need to do that. The man was going to tell him the path, as long as he agreed, even if he were to lie. 

Xu Shan glanced at the portrait of the girl on the wall. The woman was beautiful... In fact, she was even more beautiful than the girls in the Celestial Realm. On top, she had a rare constitution. 

However, for some reason, even as he saw the man kowtowing to him, he couldn't feel pity. His heart was still as empty as ever…
