Chapter 874: Chapter 744: Ancient Oath

As Qu Jianlei expected, the outline of the head truly did not care about the identity of the fugitive.

This obstinate guy even stated, ”That’s for the best, I don’t want to hurt the innocent, there are still good people among the Supreme.”

Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei was slightly surprised: Does this guy actually have some sense of right and wrong?

However, saying there are ”still” good people among the Supreme implies that most aren’t good?

Indeed, he is a twisted guy, he couldn’t be bothered to delve into it, ”How many days do you need for possession?”

”How would I know?” The black mist still enveloped Kerry’s body, clearly inspecting related details carefully.

”I have never possessed anyone, no experience, better to be cautious.”

However, without hesitation, Qu Jianlei said, ”I don’t have that much time to wait for you, just one requirement... do it quickly!”

”How is that possible?” The outline of the head exclaimed, ”This concerns my future development!”

”I said... quickly!” Qu Jianlei emphasized again, his tone heavy.

”Don’t give me so many excuses, I can’t believe you have been muck for hundreds of years and haven’t calculated possession!”

Both are aware of the facts, is there any point in saying all those irrelevant things?

The outline of the head didn’t refute, he simply stated, ”But calculations are just calculations... Okay, maybe three months.”

”Then you slowly possess,” Qu Jianlei replied straightforwardly, ”Don’t even think of using my array!”

”That’s impossible,” the outline of the head became anxious, ”Without spiritual qi support, the difficulty of possession will greatly increase.”

”I’ve got plenty to do, can’t wait for you that long,” Qu Jianlei’s attitude was resolute, ”I can’t leave the array for you either.”

The Spirit Gathering Array, such a thing, he absolutely would not allow to leave his sight, there’s no room for negotiation.

The outline of the head hesitated briefly, ultimately reluctantly said, ”Then... two months, no less than one and a half months!”

”Three days!” Qu Jianlei stated without hesitation.

”Be reasonable,” the outline of the head also became anxious, ”Possession requires compatibility, is three days enough for me to integrate?”

Qu Jianlei coldly questioned, ”In three months’ time, you can achieve one hundred percent compatibility?”

”That’s unlikely,” the outline of the head answered honestly, ”But I can at least achieve decent compatibility, right?”

”Both are far off,” Qu Jianlei said coldly, ”There’s a big difference between ’decent’ and ’far off,’ isn’t there?”

”Of course there’s a big difference,” the outline of the head argued confidently, ”Being far off requires spending much more time on compatibility.”

Qu Jianlei was unmoved, ”Then don’t use the array, I’ll come see you after three months!”

He wasn’t trying to manipulate the other, mainly he had to ensure the other understood who is primary and who is secondary.

The outline of the head didn’t respond at first, after a while he sighed.

”You do have a point, but if I can build a solid foundation from the start, it’ll be twice as effective with half the effort.”

”I’m not negotiating with you,” Qu Jianlei stated without hesitation, ”I’m informing you!”

The outline of the head hesitated several times, finally complained, ”If within three days, my integration isn’t adequate...”

”Then continue integrating here,” Qu Jianlei stated straightforwardly, ”I’ll leave with the array.”

He wasn’t being entirely unreasonable, but this control, he must hold.

”Well then... okay,” the outline of the head thought it over several times and agreed in the end.

But he was still striving for more time, ”I need about a day to familiarize myself with this body.”

”No problem,” Qu Jianlei replied succinctly, he could accommodate such a small request.

But he also stated, there are no loopholes here for exploitation, ”During familiarization, I won’t bring out the array.”

The outline of the head heard this, couldn’t help but mutter softly, ”You really... say what’s what.”

No matter how you put it, circumstances prevail, no matter how much he complains, he has to accept the terms.

A day passed quickly, the black mist still inspecting Kerry’s body.

However, Qu Jianlei didn’t urge him, focusing on major matters and letting go of minor ones was the principle, this time wasn’t significant.

After another ten or so hours, the outline of the head finally stated, ”Alright, take out the array.”

”No rush,” Qu Jianlei shook his head, ”Are you sure you’re ready?”

Unexplained, the outline of the head sensed something ominous.

But at this point, it was too late to say anything, he couldn’t risk angering the other by going back on his word, ”I’m sure.”

”Then swear with me,” Qu Jianlei spoke indifferently, ”An ancient vow witnessed by the Heavenly Dao.”

”Ancient vow?” The black mist shook violently, seeming almost to disperse.

He asked incredulously, ”You even know this?”

”Perhaps I’m bluffing,” Qu Jianlei replied casually, ”Anyway, just repeat what I say.”

He was indeed bluffing, mostly trying to psychologically intimidate the other.

This might not work, but doing nothing definitely won’t work, he was already quite mysterious in the other’s eyes, not afraid to be a little more.

”Alright then...” The head silhouette showed a clear hesitation, but what choice did he have?

In fact, he felt a slight excitement; he had heard a bit about the ancient oath.

This thing, almost legendary, has actually appeared. He found himself feeling... oddly honored?

”Repeat after me,” Qu Jianlei performed a series of gestures, ending with a fist salute embodying the Tai Chi and Five Elements.

Then he spoke solemnly, ”The Yellow Sky above, Thick Earth below, Tai Chi outside, Zi Wu inside...”

This set of phrases was designed by Little Lake, which he ultimately polished a bit—after all, it was just meant to fool people.

However, as if fate played a trick, the head silhouette really understood some of the words.

Thus, he could only obediently follow along, ”The Yellow Sky above, Thick Earth below, Tai Chi outside, Zi Wu inside...”

This oath introduction is not long, totaling only one hundred and eight words, compact and potent.

The specific matters agreed upon later were actually a bit longer, but there’s no need to elaborate.

After the oath ended, the head silhouette was still somewhat dazed, ”Is that all?”

After receiving a positive response, he asked again, ”Can I use this to bind others as well?”

”Let’s discuss this later,” Qu Jianlei replied impatiently, ”There are only three days, I need to start setting up the array.”

Then he brought out the Spirit Gathering Array and adeptly set it up, ”The timer starts now!”

The head silhouette could no longer afford to say more. In the next moment, dense black mist emerged from the stone wall, rushing into the Spirit Gathering Array.

Qu Jianlei had been active in the neck area for two months, and his Spiritual Qi and Spiritual Power were actually quite depleted.

However, he consumed a few thousand-year Stone Milks, so the deficit in Spiritual Qi was not too severe.

Currently, he wouldn’t go in to share the Spiritual Qi with the other party. Regardless, appearances still need to be kept somewhat.

In comparison, the head silhouette was truly indifferent.

The billowing black mist continuously surged into the Spirit Gathering Array, growing thicker and thicker, until it became as viscous as grease.

And it kept surging, seemingly endless, until after a day and night, it slowly became thin.

Qu Jianlei watched, truly amazed, ”How much gallium did this guy initially use?”

The three-day period passed in the blink of an eye; he coughed lightly, ”Time’s up, collect your power!”

In terms of the overall situation, he had already taken control, naturally he wouldn’t fuss over trivial details, thus leaving some time for the other party to react.

More than ten seconds later, Kerry, lying on the ground, opened his right eye, his eyelid twitching continuously.

”Give me, give me... can you give me another three hours?”

”I’ll give you four hours,” Qu Jianlei waved his hand, ”Start timing now.”

At three hours and fifty-eight minutes, Kerry’s eyes fully opened, and he slowly sat up, ”Time is almost up.”

High Tier Awakened ones are different, truly impressive, without any timer, yet the time was quite accurate.

Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, ”How about it, want to try moving a bit?”

Kerry’s eyes closed again, and he took a deep breath, ”Hold on, let me pause for a moment.”

”Then take your time,” Qu Jianlei nodded generously, after all, it was four hundred years in the mud before he got a new body.

However, the Spirit Gathering Array still needed to be shut down and put away.

When he closed the Spirit Gathering Array, Kerry’s body quivered slightly, but he said nothing.

Only the scattered Spiritual Qi in the air suddenly paused, then rushed towards the closed-eyed Kerry.

Like moths to a flame, heedless of their lives!

About ten seconds later, the air held no remnants of Spiritual Qi, as if it had never appeared.

Cleaner than a dog’s lick! Out of nowhere, such a thought popped into Qu Jianlei’s mind.

Half a day later, Kerry finally opened his eyes once more and stood up, starting to walk shakily.

It’s quite... hard to watch; although he exuded a Supreme aura, his steps were as unsteady as a baby.

However, once one becomes familiar with the physical body, it adapts quickly.

Half an hour later, Kerry was flying around in the stone chamber, as gracefully as an Immortal.

”Not bad,” Qu Jianlei nodded, ”If you could walk without staggering, it’d be even better.”

”This... might be a bit hard,” Kerry sighed softly, then smiled bitterly, ”I don’t want to either.”

”His left and right brain habits are opposite to mine, and right now, the coordination is less than thirty percent.”

Qu Jianlei blinked, ”Then just continue to adjust here, while I leave with the array.”

Then he extended his hand, ”Your array... hand it over!”

”There’s no need for that,” Kerry laughed dryly, but due to poor facial muscle control, it appeared grim.

”I may be a bit uncoordinated now, but I can still exert Supreme Combat Power without issue.”

”As I said before, I’ll follow you, and I mean what I say!”
