Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 683 - 365: 60 million Spirit Stones

"Thank you for the little prince's invitation." Lu Yu clasped his fists and said.

What Zhou Hong mentioned about the Temporal Secret Realm, he believed there was over a seventy percent chance it was the Broken World.

The Temporal Secret Realm should be the term the royal family and the princes use to cover up the Broken World.

Upon hearing that the time flow within the Temporal Secret Realm is faster than the Divine Martial World, he had some suspicions, which Zhou Hong's words later solidified in his mind.

The Temporal Secret Realm is indeed the Broken World.

As the Saint Heir of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, according to Chu Tiange, he has a high chance of acquiring a spot in the Broken World, without needing to pay a price for Zhou Hong's spot.

Moreover, the identity of the Saint Heir of the Divine Weapon Pavilion doesn't allow him to bow to Zhou Hong.

Hong Jingtao and others were somewhat surprised, looking at Lu Yu, not expecting him to refuse such a rare opportunity. Then, considering Lu Yu's identity, it seemed only natural.

Zhou Hong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother Lu, don't rush to refuse. I have much information about the Temporal Secret Realm that even the Divine Weapon Pavilion isn't aware of."

"Compared to the Divine Weapon Pavilion, the prince's manor has a deeper understanding of the Temporal Secret Realm. The Zhou prince's manor has a map covering a ten-month-day region, while last time the Divine Weapon Pavilion's people only reached a one-day-seven-month area in the Temporal Secret Realm."

"You probably don't understand the difference these three months make."

Lu Yu was silent for a moment upon hearing this, and finally began to speak: "I'm sorry."

Zhou Hong's expression tensed, fell silent for a while, then said, "Let's change the conditions. We make a vow of non-aggression between us, and you assist me in entering the area where the time flow is ten months a day."

"If you agree, I can share some information about the Temporal Secret Realm with you."

Lu Yu's expression shifted slightly, seeming a bit moved. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Okay, but I want to add a condition. If the danger during the action is too great, I can choose to withdraw."

"Of course, I definitely wish to go there and won't give up easily," Lu Yu added.

Zhou Hong looked at Lu Yu without expression. After a moment, he finally relented and said, "Fine."

Hong Jingtao and the others watched Lu Yu and Zhou Hong haggling, looking at each other, smiling wryly in their hearts. Only Lu Yu, with the identity of the Saint Heir of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, could haggle with Zhou Hong like this. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

If it were them, they would have eagerly agreed at the first moment, without thinking of haggling.

Having reached their current cultivation levels, they were certainly no fools. They understood their differences from Lu Yu and Zhou Hong, and did not think that if Lu Yu could bargain with Zhou Hong, they could as well.

After the two reached an agreement, they took the oath on the Observing Stars Platform, vowing not to initiate attacks on each other in the Temporal Secret Realm (Broken World), and within their capabilities, Lu Yu must do his best to help Zhou Hong enter the region where the time flow is ten months a day.

In making the oath, Lu Yu also gained some understanding of the dangers of the Broken World.

Zhou Hong's strength is very formidable. According to the intelligence of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, he should already be at the peak of the Core Formation Realm economically, but he still chose to seek Lu Yu's assistance.

This indicates that the dangers in the Broken World are troublesome and tricky, even for him.

However, such danger shouldn't be due to insufficient strength since Lu Yu's strength is weaker than his. Zhou Hong couldn't possibly not know that Lu Yu had just advanced to the Core Formation Realm.

Even if he did not know that Lu Yu had just advanced to the Core Formation Realm, he should be aware that a year ago, Lu Yu was still a Martial Cultivator at the Sea of Qi Realm.

Within just one year, it would be impossible for Lu Yu to have cultivated to the peak of the Core Formation Realm.

Thus, what Zhou Hong values isn't Lu Yu's strength but presumably other capabilities.

Exactly what they are, Lu Yu isn't sure, and only after entering the Broken World will he find out.

At least he knows, Zhou Hong most likely isn't planning to backstab him, or else he definitely wouldn't have set a vow of non-aggression with him.

After making the vow, Zhou Hong shared the agreed information about the Temporal Secret Realm with Lu Yu.

"Take it. This contains the exploration information of the Zhou prince's manor on the Temporal Secret Realm." Zhou Hong tossed a pendant, and Lu Yu caught it easily.

Zhou Hong didn't give a spot to Lu Yu, nor did he discuss matters related to a spot.

Lu Yu understood that after setting such terms with Zhou Hong, he definitely wouldn't be given a spot, so he didn't bring up the matter.

To Lu Yu, the spot wasn't important; what mattered was the prince manor's exploration information on the Broken World.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion might also have information on the Broken World, but with such things, the more, the better; the more you know, the better prepared you are.

This time, there was no doubt Lu Yu would venture into the Broken World.

Upon learning that demons might cause the world's destruction, he now desperately craves strength to protect himself. Even if the world ends, he wants to survive when it does.

As for saving the world, he'll think about it after ensuring he can survive!

He couldn't think that far ahead.

Lu Yu took the pendant given by Zhou Hong and left the Observing Stars Platform, while Zhou Hong took Hong Jingtao and the other three back toward the Zhou prince's manor.

Compared to Lu Yu, Hong Jingtao and the others were more crucial to Zhou Hong.

Even without Lu Yu's help, he could find his way to that region, albeit more difficultly. Having Lu Yu makes it safer, more secure.

Compared to Lu Yu's role for Zhou Hong, the roles of Hong Jingtao and the other three were indispensable.

They were the key factors enabling Zhou Hong to cultivate in the Broken World safely, comprehending his own path of cultivation.
