Ye Chen felt it was quite tricky.
He hadn't considered so much, only wishfully thinking that under his verbal provocation and coercion, Chu Ge would very likely agree.
In the past, he had also used such methods, and they had always been effective.
But today, it was different from before.
He did have many treasures in his possession, all obtained from his experiences in recent years, and they were very rare, but if he were to take them out and give them to Chu Ge for nothing, he would be extremely reluctant.
'Idiot! It's come to this, and you're still being so indecisive!'
The voice in his mind rang out, extremely angry.
Ye Chen suppressed his anger at being reprimanded and said, "Please teach me, Senior."
'Take out the holy source stone you obtained earlier.'
The voice in his mind became flat.
"How can that be? This is for my future ascension to the Tenglong Saint Body! I've put in tremendous effort for this, how can I just give it away?"
Ye Chen almost couldn't hold back when he heard this.
Since his engagement was broken off more than two years ago, he had been out gaining experience under the guidance of the existence in his mind.
Among them, he spent a full year on this holy source stone; if not for that, how could his cultivation only be at the Second Level Heaven Realm?
"Don't worry, now that it's come to this, you might as well directly gamble with him. Use the holy source stone as a bargaining chip and demand the huanglong seal from him!"
"If you ultimately win, then it's a clean sweep. You can use the huanglong seal to ascend to the Tenglong Saint Body. At that time, as fellow Saint Body wielders, your status in Taihuang will also rise! You won't need to fear his direct disciple status!"
The voice in his mind became gentle, with a hint of persuasive guidance.
"But, but..."
Ye Chen still hesitated.
The huanglong seal and the opportunity to ascend to a Saint Body made his heart pound.
But he had a hidden worry.
"What if I'm no match for that scoundrel..."
Such thoughts kept emerging, making him uneasy.
He had spent time and effort on this holy source stone; it was the most important treasure he possessed!
"Senior, what if I..."
Ye Chen found it hard to speak. At this moment, he realized that he had become unconfident.
"How can you be timid and indecisive if you want to reach the peak? Do you want to live your whole life in Chu Ge's shadow?"
"Just a temporary disadvantage has caused your mental fortitude to decline to such an extent? If this continues, you will never be able to step into the Great Power Realm of the Ten Heavens in this life!"
The voice in his mind became serious, filled with pressure.
"I..."
Ye Chen was still hesitating, unable to make a decision. The existence in his mind saw his unpromising appearance and regretted her rash choice even more, and other thoughts in her heart gradually grew stronger.
"Think about Tantai Xuanyin, who broke off the engagement. When you first met her, she was already at the Third Level Heaven Realm. Now, two years later, she has probably already forged a flawless Foundation in the Aperture Opening Realm, and may even have stepped into the Ten Heavens!"
"Look at your current appearance now. How much time is left until your agreement with her? Do you want to be humiliated and trampled underfoot by her again?!"
The words in his mind echoed in Ye Chen's head, causing the flames of anger in his heart to continuously rise!
"No! Tantai Xuanyin! In three years, I will definitely trample her underfoot! Make her regret her decision!"
"Think about your invincible spirit when you were in Little Stone City!"
At this point, the existence in his mind almost couldn't hold back.
What kind of place was Little Stone City? A small city in a remote corner where you couldn't even find a few proper Cultivators. How could it be compared to the current situation?
Ye Chen had never faced a Prodigy of Chu Ge's talent and status.
But in order to stimulate Ye Chen, she naturally didn't care too much.
"Yes! In Little Stone City, how high-spirited I was, after years of obscurity, I burst onto the scene! It's just a fellow young Prodigy; I'm not without experience in defeating them. Chu Ge, I can also make him my defeated opponent!"
Light flickered in Ye Chen's eyes, and fighting intent emerged!
'..........'
The existence in his mind didn't expect that just a few words would make Ye Chen's confidence greatly increase, even to the point of inflation.
She was a bit speechless.
The peers Ye Chen had defeated before were nothing but trash.
They were just nobodies from small sects, though their names were quite loud.
However, being able to provide Ye Chen with confidence was to her liking.
"How about it? Have you thought it over?"
Chu Ge looked at Ye Chen's conflicted expression, his heart blooming with joy.
The System's prompts in his mind had sounded several times, indicating more villain points had been credited.
"Chu Ge, I have a supreme treasure in my hand. Let's make a bet. If I win, you must temporarily lend me the huanglong seal. If you win, then this supreme treasure on me will be yours. How about it?"
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed, his gaze becoming firm!
He had his considerations. If he directly demanded the huanglong seal, Chu Ge would definitely not agree, as this item ultimately belonged to Taihuang, and even Chu Ge only temporarily held it now and couldn't make the decision.
But if it was just a loan, it would be easier to talk about.
As for afterwards, if he won and ultimately used the huanglong seal to ascend to the Tenglong Saint Body, then the true holder of the huanglong seal would be none other than him!
At that time, it wouldn't be easy for Chu Ge to take it back.
"Oh? A supreme treasure?"
Chu Ge became interested. He hadn't expected Ye Chen to produce anything remarkable, but now it seemed it was beyond his expectations.
One could only say that he truly lived up to his name as a Child of Destiny, with profound blessings.
"You possess a Saint Body. You must be familiar with the holy source stone, right?"
Ye Chen didn't play coy. Since he was ready to participate in this grand gamble, he would no longer hesitate.
"holy source stone?"
Chu Ge raised an eyebrow.
He truly knew about this item.
The holy source stone, a rare treasure of heaven and earth.
It offered various benefits to those with a Saint Body.
Whether it was to make up for deficiencies in one's Physique, enhance the Holy Body Source, or even elevate a Wang Body to a Saint Body, etc.
This item could play a significant role; it was indeed a rare and supreme treasure!
Upon hearing the term 'holy source stone', most of the Inner Sect Disciples around showed bewildered expressions.
This was truly because the item was too high-end; they didn't even have the qualifications to understand it.
Only a select few, upon hearing the name of the holy source stone, showed shock.
Then, greed arose in their hearts, and their gazes towards Ye Chen were like those looking at prey.
Su Ling'er, beside Chu Ge, also widened her beautiful eyes, her small mouth slightly agape, clearly just as shocked.
She had also searched for the holy source stone before. Both her Family and Luo Huangjun had kept an eye out for her, just to help her further complete her Yuánlíng Shèngtǐ (Primal Spirit Saint Physique).
However, this item was too rare; even with the extraordinary power of her Family behind her, they couldn't find a single trace of it.
She never expected that Ye Chen, a mere Cultivator from the Lower Three Heavens, would actually possess such a significant treasure!
"Seeing is believing."
Chu Ge spoke, but words alone couldn't convince him.
"Hmph!"
Ye Chen snorted coldly. The next moment, a strange stone about the size of a human head, with golden light flowing on it, flashed in his hand.
Although it was only for an instant, the two Saint Body wielders present both captured the rich Saint Source power.
That was a power of the same Origin as the Holy Body Source power; absorbing it brought endless benefits!
