Chapter 648: Chapter 349 “Transferring Flowers Immortal Technique” and “Beginning the Breakthrough to Slashing Longevity Realm” (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

If discovered, neither the caster nor the recipient would have any place to stay in the Immortal Realm.

Death would be the simplest punishment.

That was precisely why Milton Cheney had not considered this option at all just now.

Because he didn’t believe that Pseudo Minister would pay such a great price just to invest in him.

After all, to Pseudo Minister, Milton was merely an investment opportunity, not worth staking his life on a single investment.

The stake was simply too enormous.

It could be said that if Milton couldn’t become an Immortal being in the future, then Pseudo Minister’s investment would inevitably be a failure.

“My lifespan foundation is damaged, and I have at most a little over two hundred million years left.”

“I can only take a gamble now, and as for the Reincarnation Immortal Technique Seal, you need not worry, I am already prepared,” Pseudo Minister spoke candidly.

He and Milton were in the same boat now, and there was no need to keep his situation hidden from Milton anymore.

Hearing this, Milton frowned slightly.

Indeed, the injuries Pseudo Minister had sustained were not minor, they had even reached his lifespan foundation.

This was somewhat troublesome.

No wonder Pseudo Minister had become increasingly eager over the years.

Milton didn’t immediately respond, his mind filled with rising thoughts.

Now, it seemed like he had no choice but to agree.

After all, it wasn’t hard to deduce from Pseudo Minister’s words that he was well prepared, even the seal for the Reincarnation Immortal Technique was ready.

“Although if the forbidden technique is successfully applied, my certainty in achieving a Breakthrough to the Slashing Longevity Realm is naturally increased to sixty percent,” Milton said.

“But have you considered what if it fails?”

“If the forbidden technique fails, the exposed aura will definitely overflow from this Little World.”

“Do you really need to bet all your chips?”

Milton spoke with a frown.

He actually didn’t want Pseudo Minister to perform the forbidden technique on him.

There is a reason why cultivators below Immortal beings are forbidden to use forbidden techniques, and even with a seal, there’s a high chance of failure in casting such techniques.

If successful, Milton could indeed possess a sixty percent certainty of Breaking through to the Slashing Longevity Realm, maybe even eighty percent.

But what if it fails?

If it fails, then there will be less than a thirty percent chance of success.

That was the reason Milton was unwilling.

But now his attitude didn’t seem to matter anymore because Pseudo Minister clearly had decided to perform the forbidden technique.

Upon hearing Milton’s words, Pseudo Minister fell into silence, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

How could he not have considered everything Milton said? But the problem was, his lifespan had been cut in half, and even more time would be lost away from the Sect.

How could he be content with that?

He couldn’t afford to keep waiting for Milton to absorb lifespan nutrients.

That’s why he had decided to take this gamble.

This time he might say he was staking all his chips.

The Reincarnation Immortal Technique and Forbidden Technique Seal were not easy to obtain.

However, if successful, Milton could own a complete lifespan foundation way in advance, not only increasing his chance to Breakthrough by at least thirty percent.

It would also allow Milton to grow rapidly to the limit of the Slashing Longevity Realm after the Breakthrough.

Though the limit of this realm would be quite tenuous, it could absolutely enhance the probability of Milton achieving true Breakthrough to Immortality.

After all, Pseudo Minister had not forgotten Milton’s true identity, the reincarnated self of an Immortal being.

If it were ordinary times, he definitely would not pay such a huge price for an investment.

This time, however, it was a complete bet of all stakes.

As Milton said just now, bet all the chips.

What he didn’t know was that Milton’s body wasn’t the reincarnation of an Immortal being, rather it was just a Reincarnation Simulation.

His body’s limit couldn’t possibly reach that level.

Pseudo Minister was unaware of this, but Milton, who knew his body well, was undoubtedly conscious of this.

That was the main reason Milton was disinclined to having the forbidden technique performed on him.

Milton also knew that if successful, the benefits to him would be tremendous, but he was certain that the limit of this body could only bear the initial stage of the Slashing Longevity Realm.

Anything higher, and this body would completely fail to endure it.

If that were the case, why risk it twice?

This is a choice that has only disadvantages and no advantages.

Regardless of whether the forbidden technique was cast on him or not, after a breakthrough to the Slashing Longevity Realm, the odds were he would only be able to stay at the initial stage of that realm.

“Unless you can convince me otherwise, otherwise…”

“Fifty percent confidence.”

Milton Cheney didn’t let the steward finish his sentence before interrupting him.

At this moment, Milton Cheney was lightly massaging his forehead, his mind preoccupied with thoughts unknown.

Hearing Milton Cheney interrupt him, the steward wasn’t surprised; he was not even remotely surprised by Milton Cheney’s concealment of his abilities, at most experiencing a moment’s astonishment.

Fifty percent confidence.

This statement from Milton Cheney plunged the steward back into a dilemma.

A moment later, the steward still shook his head.

“Not enough.”

He spoke softly, still not changing his decision.

In fact, on this point, he and Milton Cheney were somewhat similar; both were the type who, once they made an initial decision, wouldn’t easily change their minds.

Milton Cheney could hear the decisiveness in the steward’s tone.

He knew that even if he said he had eighty percent confidence now, the steward would not give up on casting the forbidden technique.

Milton Cheney inwardly sighed.

It was the curse of asymmetrical information, but he couldn’t truly reveal his actual situation.

Milton Cheney didn’t continue to speak, which meant he was acquiescing to the steward’s decision.

He had no choice; at this point, Milton Cheney had no reason to continue refusing.

If the casting of the forbidden technique truly failed, then it would only mean the end of this reincarnation simulation.

Challenging the Immortal Realm with his power alone was naturally impossible; Milton Cheney wasn’t confident to that extent.

Still, this sensation of one’s fate being in the hands of another was indeed unpleasant.

“You don’t need to worry too much; although I have no experience casting forbidden techniques, you do have the experience of withstanding them,” the steward said.

Hearing this, Milton Cheney looked at the steward with some confusion.

Seeing Milton Cheney’s expression, the steward chuckled lightly, then continued:

“I’m not talking about you in this life; I’m referring to your previous life as an immortal being. How could you be reincarnated and cultivate again if not for the Reincarnation Immortal Technique?”

As the words reached his ears, Milton Cheney’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart skipped a beat.

The next moment, Milton Cheney had an epiphany.

So that’s how it is.

No wonder the steward had made such a decision, so decisively betting all his chips—so the crux of the matter was here.

Thinking this, Milton Cheney didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He had never considered this possibility before.

It truly was a case of the bystander being clear-headed while the player is lost; only this time, Milton Cheney played the role of the participant.

All this time, the steward had believed he was the reincarnation of an immortal being.

So, any decision made was based on the identity of Milton Cheney as the reincarnated form of the immortal being.

But Milton Cheney was clear about his own circumstances.

Although he had kept up a good front before the steward, he couldn’t cover every single aspect.

For instance, this time, he had never anticipated the steward would choose to cast a forbidden technique on him, simply because he had undergone the Reincarnation Immortal Technique in his past life as an immortal being.

Correct, the Reincarnation Immortal Technique also belonged to the category of forbidden techniques.

It could even be said to be one of the most powerful forbidden techniques within the Immortal Realm, far beyond any comparison to the Transference Immortal Technique.

“Since the decision has been made, let us begin,” Milton Cheney said, foregoing any need for further explanation.

The next moment, the steward put away the faint smile on his face and appeared in front of Milton Cheney with a slight movement.

A diamond-shaped wooden stele was summoned by him.

The moment the wooden stele appeared, it lit up with a dim glow.

At this moment, Milton Cheney’s consciousness was plunged into darkness.

His five senses were instantly blocked, and time seemed to come to a standstill at this point.

He did not know how long had passed before his consciousness cleared, and only then did he sense the tremendous changes that had happened to his body.
