Chapter 025: Twenty Times or More

In the end, after a long conversation, the two reached an agreement.

Hela would stay by Wang Bo's side, and when the time was right, Wang Bo would send her back to her universe. Hela would not obey Wang Bo's orders, nor would she deliberately cause him trouble.

Wang Bo was very satisfied with this agreement.

If he insisted on sending Hela back now, it would only lead to a falling out, and then another life-and-death battle. Wang Bo was not a warmonger; if a problem could be solved with words, he would never use his hands.

Thus, setting this agreement was good for everyone.

Good for Wang Bo, and good for Hela.

After signing the agreement, Wang Bo took Hela back to Tianya Haige. He hadn't forgotten that Yu Linglong was still waiting for him there, and he certainly wouldn't miss that.

Inside Tianya Haige, Li Qiushui had somehow found a group of people who were cleaning the place.

After all, not long ago, Hela had massacred everyone there, from top to bottom, leaving no one alive. If Wang Bo hadn't arrived in time, even Li Qiushui would not have survived.

Li Qiushui ordered the bodies to be gathered outside, ready to burn them all to prevent an epidemic.

The arrival of Wang Bo and Hela made Li Qiushui involuntarily step back a few paces.

She wasn't afraid of Wang Bo—after all, he had saved her, so he wouldn't kill her now.

She was afraid of Hela. This goddess had stormed Tianya Haige not long ago, killing without mercy, slaughtering everyone from top to bottom. Even Li Qiushui herself had narrowly escaped death. How could she not be afraid?

Wang Bo reassured her, "Don't worry, she won't harm you."

Hela indeed had no intention of attacking Li Qiushui. She was surprised that Li Qiushui was still alive. When she had massacred Tianya Haige earlier, she had slapped Li Qiushui away with one blow.

By mortal standards, she should have been long dead by now.

"You saved her?" Hela turned to look at Wang Bo.

Wang Bo nodded. He had indeed revived Li Qiushui.

Seeing that Hela had no intention of attacking her, Li Qiushui mustered her courage and stepped forward, saying, "Li Qiushui pays respects to the two seniors."

These two were so terrifying, and the way they had appeared was very similar to the Tianshan Sect's Instant Shift technique. They might be two seniors from the Tianshan Sect.

She hadn't forgotten that if one cultivated the Tianshan Sect's martial arts to a certain level, one could achieve immortality.

Perhaps this terrifying man and woman were such beings.

She naturally dared not put on airs in front of them.

Wang Bo, unaware of Li Qiushui's thoughts, asked bluntly, "Where is your sister Li Canghai's body?"

Li Qiushui was startled. Her sister Li Canghai was already dead. What use did this senior have for her sister's corpse? Could there be some secret hidden within it?

Li Qiushui was puzzled but dared not delay. "Seniors, please follow me."

The three of them went to an underground chamber. Li Qiushui led the way, turning left and right, until they finally reached a secret room. In the center of the room was a stone bed.

A woman who looked exactly like Li Qiushui lay quietly on the bed.

This was Li Canghai.

Wang Bo's gaze shifted slightly. Li Canghai appeared lifeless, like a corpse, but in fact, she wasn't completely dead. Her soul remained inside her body, trapped within a strange glowing orb.

"Yu Linglong!" Wang Bo flicked his finger, sending a surge of true qi that shook Li Canghai's body, forcing the Yu Linglong out of her. With a single hand, he sucked it back, and the Yu Linglong flew into his hand.

Seeing the Yu Linglong in Wang Bo's hand, Li Qiushui was greatly shocked and filled with regret.

If she had known that her sister's body contained the Yu Linglong, she would have long since cut open her sister's body and taken it. With the Yu Linglong in hand, she could not only greatly increase her power but also maintain eternal youth and immortality.

Then, people like Xiaoyaozi and Wu Xingyun would be no match for her.

Conquering the martial world would be effortless.

But now, it was too late. The Yu Linglong had fallen into Wang Bo's hands, and she dared not ask him for it.

Hela looked at the Yu Linglong in Wang Bo's hand with a curious expression. "This thing seems quite interesting."

She could sense a strange power within the Yu Linglong, a power that was not inferior to her own death magic.

"This thing is called Yu Linglong. When combined with the Tianshan Sect's martial arts, it can grant immortality and even resurrection," Wang Bo explained.

Hela nodded slightly. "A good item."

Resurrection was nothing special. As the goddess of death, she could control the life and death of the Asgardian gods. When Asgardian gods died, their souls remained in their bodies until she extracted them and assigned them to their final resting places.

If Hela wished, she could even resurrect dead Asgardian gods, though she rarely did so.

So in Hela's view, resurrection was not a big deal.

Because she could do it herself.

But immortality surprised Hela. Although she was an Asgardian goddess with a long lifespan, she would still age and eventually die of old age one day.

So Hela understood that something that could grant immortality was a precious treasure even in Asgard, no less than Mjolnir or Gungnir.

Such a treasure was worthy of being placed in Odin's vault.

Countless Asgardian women would go mad for such a treasure.

Even she herself, upon learning that the Yu Linglong could grant immortality, felt a stirring and entertained the thought of taking it, but in the end, she gave up the idea.

To be honest, she now felt a little regretful. She hadn't expected that mortals she looked down upon could possess such a treasure.

Indeed, every universe has its own unique treasures.

Next time, she would definitely find such a treasure.

Hela silently vowed to herself. This was also why she had given up on seizing the Yu Linglong—because she knew that if she stayed by Wang Bo's side and traveled to other universes, she would encounter more opportunities and treasures.

Among them, there would surely be treasures that could grant her immortality.

There was no need to give up such a promising future for a single Yu Linglong.

On the other hand, Wang Bo did not keep the Yu Linglong for himself. Instead, after obtaining it, he took out the Woodcutter's Spring and threw the Yu Linglong into it.

Before coming to Tianya Haige, Wang Bo had spent a year in the Time Villa modifying the Beiming Rebirth Technique.

During that time, Wang Bo had the Demon Butler continuously duplicate Enhancement Stones to enhance the Duplication Mirror and the Woodcutter's Spring.

The Woodcutter's Spring had now been enhanced by Wang Bo twenty times or more.
