Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

Despite the immense size of the Verid Imperial Family's Guest Mansion including the courtyards, Ling Chen could easily cover it with his powerful divine sense.

Furthermore, even though it was nighttime, it was as bright as day for Ling Chen due to his Demonic and Divine Eyes. His gaze could illuminate every corner in this place.

As such, it was impossible for someone to intrude the Imperial Family's Guest Mansion without his detection. Not to mention he was also expecting some company.

"Hahaha! This younger brother is truly sorry. I didn't mean to spy on senior Chen." As Ling Chen's voice faded away, a cold and breathy voice suddenly rang out as if a dead person was crawling up from the ground.

At the same time, an old man walked behind the giant tree in the distance and flew towards Ling Chen who was sitting on the rooftop of the Verid Imperial Family's Guest Mansion.

As the old man landed on the rooftop next to Ling Chen, he respectfully clapped his hands and apologetically said."Sorry to disturb you, Senior Chen. This younger brother just wanted to talk to you but it's already too late and I didn't know how to make my entrance when I saw you on the rooftop."

The old man looked quite old and ancient with only a few strands of white hair left. His entire body appears to dried up skeleton with only his skin remained.

This was someone who appeared to have only one breath left, someone that would find it difficult to even walk, someone who was just awaiting their inevitable demise.

Nonetheless, It would be a grave mistake for anyone to just dismiss him and look down upon him because of his corpse-like body and weak looking appearance.

This was an existence of the 2nd Life Transition level! An old Paragon realm expert capable of petrifying anyone!

Despite his frail and corpse-like body, he was one of the highest existence and peak experts throughout the whole Omega Galaxy and even the entire 8th Ring of the Chaos Universe.

However, listening to the words of the old man, Ling Chen's face suddenly contracted. He had this sudden urge to curse him and beat the hell out of him.

He was always calm and collected while facing everything in life, but he was at a loss with the current event. If the 5th Princess or the two imperial princes were to refer to him as " senior" it would have been somehow acceptable.

However, hearing this shameless old man who was over 500 000 years old respectfully called a young man like him "senior" gave him goosebumps.

At the same time, he could tell the old man was an interesting and wily person. He was someone that could read the circumstances and knew what to do in each situation.

"Let's skip the introduction and don't waste any time walking in circles. Get straight to the point and tell me what you want." Ling Chen said with a cold and emotionless tone as he continued to sip his wine.

As a 2nd Life Transition Paragon realm expert, the old man commanded respect wherever he went. However, his power and influence didn't mean shit in Ling Chen's eyes.

He also knew that which was why he didn't even look angry despite Ling Chen's bold and arrogant words.

"Well, I don't want to waste Senior Chen's precious time. This younger brother just wanted to know that if it's possible to get two more slots for the Akasha Spiritual World." The old man said with an amiable smile on his face after pondering for a moment.

"I am sure you know just how precious each slot of the Akasha Spiritual World is. Even though I am one of the Gatekeepers of the Akasha Spiritual World, I don't get those slots for free. Each one of them cost me a lot of contribution points." Explained Ling Chen as he continued to calmly enjoy his wine.

"Furthermore, not everyone could gain access to the Akasha Spiritual World. Only talented individuals with great and infinite potential could enter it. Almost all the residents of the Akasha Spiritual World are heaven-defying genius."

"The main reasons I gave three slots to that little emperor of yours was because I was feeling generous and I didn't want to owe him anything."He added.

"As for the three little imperial brats, they might be considered geniuses in the Verid Empire and even the Omega Galaxy. However, they are nothing in the Akasha Spiritual World."

While listening to Ling Chen's explanation, the old man stayed quiet. Even though Ling Chen didn't say it directly, he understood what he meant.

He was simply an old man on the death door who had exhausted all of his potentials. There's no use and place for people like him in the Akasha Spiritual World.

However, he didn't want to give up. He desperately wanted to enter the Akasha Spiritual World. This place was his last hope.

He has been stuck in the Early Paragon realm for thousands of years and if he couldn't have a minor breakthrough in the next fifty years, only death awaits him.

Normally he would have died long ago as the lifespan of an Early Paragon realm was about 400,500 years max in the 8th Ring of the Chaos Universe. However, he has been taking powerful spiritual medicines which prolonged his lifespan as well as using their advanced technology.

However, they stopped working on him as he had already exhausted all of his potentials. His Dao Law Seed was decaying and his life essence had reached its limit.

Who could defy the heavens!

No matter whether one was a powerful cultivator or warrior with a long lifespan or just a regular mortal, one has to observe the three laws of death.

Looking at the bleak expression on the old man's face, Ling Chen's lips suddenly curved upward into a mysterious smile as he said." It seems that lady luck is smiling upon you old man."

"I don't know if it's because of this fine wine or because I am a little tipsy, but I am somehow feeling generous tonight. However, it will cost you." He added.

Upon hearing Ling Chen's words, the old man's expression greatly shifted. He quickly when from feeling gloomy and desolate to being extremely excited and aghast.

He was like a death row prisoner that had just been pardoned.

Although the old man had lived for thousands of years, he had never been this happy and excited before as he quickly asked." What is senior Chen's condition?"

"First of all, you give me five more cases of those wines. I truly like them. Secondly, you'll give me all your valuables and treasures, including that of the Mad Emperor. I still need to cover my loss. Lastly, you and the Mad Emperor owe me a favor." Ling Chen calmly said.

After hearing Ling Chen's conditions, the old man was over the moon as he quickly said." Thank you, Mr.Chen. You just save this old man's life."

Looking at the old man's happy expression, Ling Chen's lips couldn't help but curved upward into an evil smile. It was his first time seeing a person being that excited even while being robbed blind.

Not only that, the old man didn't even realize that he has just sold his soul to the devil. What was even more hilarious, he even paid for it.
