Chapter 478: Payback
A storage treasure could only collect objects that the owner was strong enough to lift. It used some sort of mysterious law, as it didnt actually require a person to pick things up, but could only collect things they could lift without it. A new cultivator couldnt just stuff a giant boulder into a Storage Bag and then drop it on their equally weak enemies and smash them into a paste. Even if someone else loaded such a stone into a Storage Bag, the weak cultivator would only be able to very slowly and carefully place it onto the ground upside down. Then theyd have to slowly work the bag upwards like they were peeling a cover off the large rock to finally reveal it to the world. Sage had no idea how it worked or what rules it followed. All of his past tests made no sense, but they always followed the logic that other Cultivators told him, It is limited by your personal strength.
The most unusual realization of this phenomena was collecting liquids. The more powerful the cultivator, the greater the flow rate when collecting or releasing liquids. Yet, somehow, even though liquid storage treasures had fixed nozzle sizes, the pressure never increased. An extremely powerful cultivator could release a massive amount of water from a Storage Vat all at once, but it only created a gentle stream of huge volume. Somehow, the storage treasure wouldnt increase in pressure like a firehose.
Sage had pushed Guan Zhenyan into a corner, assaulting him when he was off-guard and then poisoning him with a combination of his own most potent poisons. Many years of accumulation were burned up in a momentary battle. Sages Twin Soul was terrifyingly powerful, yet it only lasted a few minutes against Guan Zhenyan.
Thankfully, he had been successful. The Twin Soul and poison ended up causing grievous enough injuries to allow Sage to pull Guan Zhenyan into the Universe Ring. In the mans weakened state, Sage didnt really have to overpower him. It was more like hed walked up to him and thrown a drink in his face, then pushed him into a swimming pool. The utter audacity of the attack had thrown him into such confusion that he was able to very briefly push him around.
Even as unusual as the attack was, it was only possible because he had the Universe Ring. While a Beast Bag could contain living creatures, it could only hold those of a lower rank than humanity. It was something about the mind or consciousness that couldnt be contained so easily. A storage treasure that could contain a living person was extremely rare, and to make matters worse, the owner of the treasure would have to constantly suppress the person inside to prevent them from leaving again. It gave rise to a whole class of imprisoning magic treasures, which were extremely expensive and difficult to create and use.
You chubby little bastard! You cant do this to me, you dont have that kind of authority!
Guan Zhenyan was currently yelling at a young boy who was dressed in pristine white robes. The boy had luxurious long white hair tied back with a bright red sash. The sash matched his belt and besides the boys chubby pot belly, was his most defining characteristic.
Sage smiled and patted the boy on the back, Excellent work! You must be the most powerful being in the universe, Tao Ba! Nobody can compare to you! Sage followed up the encouragement by smiling at Guan Zhenyan, This situation is all a result of my instructions. Tao Ba is merely doing his job.
Guan Zhenyan turned his gaze to the newly arriving Sage, You tricked me quite thoroughly! Very well done. Youve passed the test! You are now worthy to become my Direct Disciple. Quickly now, prepare the tea for me and start kowtowing.
Denied.
It became a thing. No matter what price Sage asked for, the man denied him. Finally, after a few dozen offers, he realized what was going on, You dont want to leave, do you?
Guan Zhenyan adopted a sly smile, You think that silly oath you made me swear is foolproof? You shouldnt be so eager to let me go.
If I release you, youll get revenge on me? Im not stupid enough to think you would tell me that if it were true. So why dont you want to be released?
Guan Zhenyan kept his mouth shut. Sage was left at an impasse. While Guan Zhenyan had made a long oath, Sage didnt think it was foolproof. Even so, why would he want to stay as a prisoner? What was really going on?
Sage was no longer confident of releasing Guan Zhenyan without retribution, and since the man didnt want to leave, Sage let him have his way. Rather than testing the unknown in this case, he stuck with the lesser of two evils.
In the present.
Sage awoke to find Guan Zhenyans projection standing over him, Argh! I told you to stay out of my chambers!
Youve been sleeping for nearly a week. There are thousands of Psionic Crystals just sitting there collecting dust. Are you ready to make another deal?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
