#574 - The Secret of the Great Prophecy

Saying this, Li Chengfeng changed the subject, his tone becoming more sincere: "However, I must also remind you that life is precious, and there are infinite possibilities when you are alive. Just like me, even though I am in a dangerous situation, I have never given up my desire for life.

If you are willing to cooperate with me, I may be able to secure a chance of survival for you. When the time is right, it is not impossible to let you leave.

After all, living is more important than anything else, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Tao was filled with anger but had no way to vent it. He could only glare at Li Chengfeng, his eyes full of unwillingness and helplessness.

He knew that at this moment, he was like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Seeing the dragon wizard Wu Chao's face changing, Li Chengfeng chuckled inwardly and deliberately added fuel to the fire, directly hitting his sore spot: "Actually, you had a chance to avoid such heavy losses in this war.

If you could have persuaded Xie Mei earlier to give up his unwarranted侥幸心理 (Jiaoxing xinli, gambling luck) and evacuate the underground magma in time, perhaps everything would have been different.

But you chose to associate with the arrogant and conceited Nine Infants, who dared to despise his own true form. How could you expect him to lead you to victory?

Your cooperation with Xie Mei was a mistake from the beginning. His conceit is the root cause of your failure. If you really want to find a chance of survival for yourself and your clan, you should understand how to make trade-offs."

Saying this, Li Chengfeng changed his tone, becoming unquestionable: "I will give you three breaths to consider whether you are willing to cooperate with me.

After three breaths, if you are still stubborn, I can only use the Soul Suppression Technique to make you lose yourself in endless pain. This is not a threat, but a reality."

Upon hearing this, the dragon wizard Wu Tao was shocked. He did not expect Li Chengfeng to be so decisive, giving him such a short time to make a decision.

He knew very well that facing an opponent like Li Chengfeng, any delay could be fatal.

Therefore, he gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Li Chengfeng, I agree to your terms.

But you must make an oath to the heavens that you will let me leave after the matter is completed."

Li Chengfeng smiled slightly, as if everything was under his control: "That is natural. Although I, Li Chengfeng, am not a saint, I always keep my word.

You can rest assured that all my methods will only be used against enemies. As for partners, I have always treated them with sincerity and never break my promises."

The dragon wizard Wu Tao nodded, feeling slightly relieved. He knew Li Chengfeng's reputation. In the cultivation world, Li Chengfeng was known for his wit and strategy, but he was never stingy with his allies.

He thought carefully for a while and felt that cooperating with Li Chengfeng might really be the best choice at the moment. So, he put down his pride and asked sincerely: "Then, what is your specific plan for cooperation? I am willing to listen attentively and fully cooperate."

Li Chengfeng nodded with satisfaction, his eyes revealing appreciation for the dragon wizard's pragmatism: "A wise man submits to circumstances. Dragon Wizard, your choice proves your wisdom.

True intelligence lies in knowing when to advance and when to retreat, and even more in being willing to cooperate with wise men to preserve oneself, rather than blindly pursuing illusory glory.

What I need are your Great Prophecy Technique, dragon language, and the classics and secret methods of the dragon race and the Evil Dragon Realm. You did well not to hide anything."

Upon hearing this, the dragon wizard Wu Tao felt unwilling, but he also understood his current situation.

He sighed and took out the precious dragon crystal from the depths of his Nascent Soul. This dragon crystal was hidden so deeply that even a strong man like Li Chengfeng had not noticed it, which shows its secrecy.

As soon as the dragon crystal appeared, the dragon wizard Wu Tao explained: "These are not only my knowledge, but also some healing techniques. Although they are mainly for support, they can also play a miraculous effect at critical moments."

Li Chengfeng's divine sense was as easy to control as his own arm. He easily rolled the dragon crystal to his side and then immersed himself in it, beginning to receive those ancient and powerful knowledge.

After a while, the dragon crystal turned into bits of debris and disappeared into the air.

Li Chengfeng's face showed a satisfied smile: "As expected, the secret methods of the Evil Dragon Realm are indeed unique compared to the human world, which is amazing."

Seeing this, the dragon wizard Wu Tao asked anxiously, with mixed feelings of anticipation and nervousness: "Then, shouldn't you fulfill your promise and let me leave now?"

Li Chengfeng did not answer directly, but instead looked at the dragon corpse beside him, his tone with a hint of playfulness: "Do you still want this dragon corpse? It is closely related to you, and if it can be used properly, it will also help you recover."

The dragon wizard Wu Tao nodded quickly: "Of course I want it. This dragon lion is connected to my heart and is my important partner."

Li Chengfeng smiled slightly and changed the subject: "However, Dragon Wizard, your dragon corpse still has research value for me, and I can't let you leave now. It is unwise to release a tiger back into the mountains.

I need to wait until my cultivation has gone a step further and reached the Half-Step Deity Transformation Realm before I can ensure that you will not become a threat again.

Before that, you need to stay in my Hell Space, which is both safe and can provide you with reflection and cultivation. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, the dragon wizard Wu Tao's face changed slightly, but he also understood that he had no choice at this moment. He was silent for a moment and finally nodded: "Alright, I accept your conditions.

But I hope you will keep your word and let me be free after I help you reach the Half-Step Deity Transformation Realm."

Li Chengfeng smiled to reassure him: "Don't worry, I, Li Chengfeng, never break my promises. This is also the biggest concession I can make."

The corners of Li Chengfeng's mouth curled up in a faint smile. With a thought, the blood-colored chains on the dragon wizard's Nascent Soul quietly disappeared. He gently waved his sleeves, giving the dragon wizard a certain amount of space to move around, but the restrictions still existed.

"You can move freely here, but leaving is impossible. If you want to obtain more cultivation resources or permissions, you need to exchange them for things of equal value." Li Chengfeng's words revealed an unquestionable determination. He gave the dragon wizard an opportunity while also maintaining his bottom line.

The dragon wizard Wu Tao nodded. Although he was dissatisfied, he also knew that he was powerless to resist at this moment and could only temporarily accept this reality.

He turned to leave, thinking about how to find valuable techniques or secret arts to exchange for freedom.

However, just as he was about to leave, a harsh rustling sound suddenly rang out, and a thick branch, like a giant python, suddenly struck and tightly wrapped around the dragon wizard, quickly pulling him towards the ghost tree on the side.

At this moment, the ghost tree was lush and full of ghostly aura, and its open bloody mouth seemed to be able to devour everything. Its voice was full of greed and joy: "Haha, good stuff! It actually has the taste of a dragon. Is this a delicious meal prepared for me?"

The dragon wizard Wu Tao was shocked and struggled desperately, while glaring at Li Chengfeng: "Li Chengfeng, you went back on your word! You said you would let me go!"

Li Chengfeng's expression was calm, as if everything was under his control: "I did promise to let you go, but I didn't promise to keep you safe.

In this Hell Space, everything depends on yourself. Unless you are willing to exchange valuable things for my protection."

The dragon wizard Wu Tao finally realized his situation. In desperation, he hurriedly shouted: "I'll talk! I'll talk! The full version of the Great Prophecy Technique is within the Dragon Realm, and it is not unique to the Evil Dragon Realm. All Dragon Realms have this secret method.

It's just that it is extremely difficult to comprehend its essence, requiring extremely high talent and comprehension."

Li Chengfeng frowned slightly upon hearing this.

If the Great Prophecy Technique is as the dragon wizard said, a common existence within the Dragon Realm, then its value would be greatly reduced.

He thought to himself that since this secret method is so widespread, why are so few people able to master it? There must be a mystery.
