Cultivation Online novel Chapter 2343

Chapter 2343: Bahrah’s Challenge

"That Saaruk! He’s much slyer than I expected! He makes himself look like an idiot, but he’s actually scheming behind our backs!" Bahrah muttered.

He then focused on Yuan and spoke, "Instead of working for Saaruk, why don’t you work for me instead? I don’t know what Saaruk promised you, but I can promise you this world and unlimited authority. I will make you its supreme ruler, second to none and above every living being to walk this earth."

"That is a tempting offer, considering that Saaruk didn’t really promise me anything except some of his powers."

Bahrah laughed at such words and continued, "In that case, you should definitely ditch that idiot and come work for me! In fact, it’s only a matter of time before we conquer this world—not with force like Zaaran but strategy and faith."

"Is that why you’ve been forming an alliance with everyone?"

Yuan already knew their plans but still asked anyway.

"Indeed. This plan started long before Zaaran’s interference. Although it was a risky move, I made his puppet kill someone from the Three Pillars of Heaven, forcing Zaaran’s hands."

Yuan’s eyebrows twitched slightly after hearing this revelation.

’Is that why Kulas went on a rampage even though I was near him at that time? So it was this bastard’s doing...’

"What would you have done if I never intervened?" Yuan suddenly asked.

"I have my own ways," said Bahrah with a mysterious smirk on its face.

"What about the Enlightened One, then? If I am going to be second to none, that must include him, you know?"

"Hahaha! There’s no problem at all! He might be a little angry, but there’s nothing he can do about it!"

"So you’re just going to discard him like this?" Yuan sneered. "How am I supposed to work with someone who doesn’t hesitate to throw away their own pawn?"

"I am not going to discard him. He’s still useful, and there are other things he can do for me. If you’re worried that I might do the same to you, then you don’t have to worry, since you are countless times better than that kid. However, you still have to prove yourself."

Yuan pondered for a moment before nodding, "Alright, I’ll work with you for now. What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to surpass the Enlightened One’s authority within the Three Pillars of Heaven."

"Surpass him? That is not going to be simple..." Yuan muttered.

Bahrah laughed. "I never said it would be easy. Did you really think I’d just hand everything to you? If you want his position, you’ll have to take it yourself."

He continued calmly, "That said, without a handicap, it would be impossible for you. He’s amassed immense influence and faith over the years, while you’re nothing more than a stranger who appeared out of nowhere."

"Ten thousand years. I will make it so that the Enlightened One cannot interfere with you for ten thousand years, so try your best to defeat him in that time."

"So he’ll also be aware of our little competition?" Yuan asked.

"Of course."

"Very well. I accept the challenge."

"See you again in ten thousand years... if you’re still alive by then!"
