My Cultivation System

Chapter 201 - Against The Heavens?

The old man had a white halo behind him and picked the spirit fox from the ground and caressed.

"Not bad...looks like you found a good master,"

The old man just glanced at Henrick for a couple of moments and while caressing the little spirit fox, he said to it.

'Yelp'

Ruby shook its head as though it was contradicting the old man's word.

'What'

Henrick was embarrassed when he saw the actions of the spirit fox and revealed a bitter look.

"Don't take that seriously. It is just like that,"

The old man revealed a playful smile on his wrinkled face as he continued, "You are able to evolve this little one into a crimson spirit fox...good."

"Elder, is this your treasure land?"

Since the old man looked friendly and knew about the little spirit fox, he asked in a respectful tone.

"Yes"

The old man didn't maintain any mysterious look on his face; instead, he directly nodded his head agreeing to Henrick's words.

"Since you have already become the master of this little one. You have to complete a mission for me,"

The old slowly said to Henrick while observing his facial expressions and saw a frown on Henrick's face.

"If you complete it, I will give you something in return; however, if you don't accept the mission, I will erase your contract with this little one and at the same time, you will completely forget everything related to me and spirit fox,"

The old didn't pressure Henrick as he explained the terms and conditions to him while waiting for Henrick's reply.

Henrick raised his brows and started thinking whether he had to accept the mission from this immortal or not.

That's right!

According to his master, this treasure land was created by an immortal level cultivator. Since the old man in front of him said that he created it, then he must be an important cultivator.

"What is the danger level in this mission,"

After thinking for a while, Herrick decided to take the mission; however, he wanted to know what dangers were involved in the mission.

"There are no dangers in the mission; however, the mission is impossible and you just have to promise me that you will try your best,"

The old man revealed a bitter look on his face as he replied to Henrick.

'Oh'

Henrick heaved a sigh of relief as he said, "Okay then, I will try my best."

Since there is no danger to him, of course, he would help an immortal level cultivator.

"Thank you, young man,"

The old man already knew that Henrick would accept the mission. So, he didn't reveal a shocked look on his face and said, "Then, I will explain to you about the mission."

Just as he finished his words, a normal-looking egg appeared in the old man's hands.

The egg looked plain and didn't have any patterns on it.

"You must have noticed the drawings on the wall, right?"

The old man didn't give the egg to Henrick; instead, he pointed at the wall and continued to say, "The two beasts on the wall are cursed by the heavens to be killed by one another. So, this treasure land is created for the sake of finding someone to stop that from happening."

"What? You are saying that I am going against the heavens? Are you ut ofo your mind...old man?"

When Henrick heard those words, he was shocked to the core.

Because going against heaven's is a fool's dream. So, he became angry and shouted at the old man. He no longer showed the old man any respect.

"You already promised and you can't go back,"

The old man revealed a cunning smile on his face as he took out a small white stone that had two black dots in it.

All of a sudden, Henrick had a bad premonition in his heart when he saw the white stone.

"I used a promise stone and you have to try your best in helping me,"

The old man chuckled as he looked at Henrick.

'Ding,

     Item name:- Promise stone

     Effect:- As long as someone promises when the promise stone is activated, then they would be bound to that promise.

As soon as Henrick's eyes landed on the white stone, the system gave him the details about the promise stone that made Henrick angry.

"Damn you...old man. You used a promising stone and tricked me," Henrick became angry as he directly cursed the old man but he can't do anything to him.

"You can curse me as many times as you want but you have to try your best," the old man didn't mind when Henrick cursed him as he explained about the mission, "Tak this egg and drop your blood on it. Help the spirit wolf in the egg and the spirit fox to reach the immortal realm and stop them from fighting one another."

"Sigh"

Taking the egg from the old man's hand, Henrick sighed and nodded his head, "But, helping them in reaching the immortal realm is very hard for me."

Even though Henrick had enough confidence in helping them reach the immortal realm because of the inheritance building. He acted like a helpless young man who was barely meeting his needs.

"Haha"

Hearing Henrick's words, the old man started laughing as he said, "Young man, do you think I don't know who you are?"

While Henrick was expecting some good items from the old man, the old man's next words made Henrick freeze.

"You belong to one of the powerful ancient races, the ancient fire demon race and you act like a helpless little kid….Haha. Who are you fooling with your acting?"

Even though his camouflage skill could hide his bloodline and cultivation from others, it was effective only on cultivators below the grandmaster realm.

So, there would be no use in camouflaging his bloodline from the eyes of an immortal cultivator.

'So what? I don't have any support from parents and I am only relying on the inheritance building and my master,'

Henrick silently thought in his head but didn't give any reply to the old man.

 "Anyway, all the important things will be given to you when you complete the mission," the old man shook his head before saying, "However, I can give you a map along with a key into the treasure land."

"The map will help show you all the treasures inside the treasure land. It doesn't matter whether it is stationary or moving. It will be shown on it. So, go and collect those treasures as the advanced payment for your mission,"

While saying that, a map and a golden key appeared in front of Henrick.

"I don't have much time to stay in this form. I will go back into my tomb. Also, don't go into that room and one more thing, if you give that key to others and they try to enter the treasure land, they will die."

As soon as he finished his words, the old man dispersed into time light sparks and the spirit fox which was relaxing in the old man's hands fell to the ground.

"Why did he say not to enter the room,"

Henrick looked at an entrance that was sealed with a huge stone and thought in his head.
