Chapter 4008 – More Unfortunate Than Fortunate

Yue He sneered upon hearing this, “The danger depends on the number of Powers the person who consumes it has already condensed. The fewer Powers gathered, the smaller the risk. If one has only condensed a single Element, the chances of success is basically 50%.”

“50% after condensing just one Element?” Yang Kai couldn’t help but turn pale, “What if one has gathered four?”

Meng Hong just said that he had already condensed four Open Heaven Realm Elements, so the chances of success were probably much smaller.

“About 10%,” Yue He replied in a solemn voice.

10%!

Yang Kai was horrified. It really was akin to courting death.

Yue He looked at Meng Hong with a sneer, “Even so, are you really going to do this?”

Meng Hong clenched the jade bottle in his hand and calmly nodded, “I have already made up my mind!” He paused for a moment before continuing, “Brother Yang, please don’t try to dissuade me, I have been thinking about this for a long time, I just didn’t have the courage to go through with it until now. Furthermore, even if I had taken the risk before, there was no way for me to acquire enough precious materials with Great Moon Province’s strength. But it’s different here. We are in the Grand Ancient Ruins Boundary, which is a vast treasure trove. Brother Yang, you might not know, but in the few months you were in a retreat, I frequently heard stories of people finding Fourth-Order, Fifth-Order, and even Sixth-Order materials. This is my opportunity. If I don’t give it a try, I will regret it for the rest of my life!”

Yang Kai remained silent. If Meng Hong was just acting on impulse because of Chen Yue, then he might try to dissuade him; after all, it wasn’t wise to take such a big risk right now. However, Meng Hong just said that he had been contemplating this course of action for a long time, but he just didn’t have the courage to go through with it.

This time, everything that had happened had just given him the push he needed to make up his mind.

After pondering for a while, Yang Kai gave his encouragement, “Since you have said as much, then I can only wish you all the best.”

He then turned to Yue He and asked, “What will happen if he fails?”

Yue He solemnly replied, “Tai Yi Soul Cleansing Water cleanly strips the Power of Yin, Yang, and Five Elements from one’s Dao Seal. If one fails, their Dao Seal will shatter. What do you think would be the consequences of that?”

If one’s Dao Seal got shattered, what else could happen? One would either lose their life or have their cultivation permanently crippled.

“I’m a little curious, where did you get Tai Yi Soul Cleansing Water? Although it’s not rare, it’s not something you can get your hands on as an Emperor Realm cultivator. Tai Yi Soul Cleansing Water is basically as valuable as a Fifth-Order Open Heaven Realm material.” Yue He furrowed her bow.

Meng Hong replied with a smile after hearing this, “I accidentally acquired it many years ago and decided to keep it. I wasn’t willing to sell it as I thought that I might need it someday.”

It was quite apparent that Meng Hong’s decision wasn’t on a whim, he really had been planning for this for a long time.
