Chapter 1634: No Good Will Come Out Of Conspiring With A Tiger
“Is that so?” The Chief Libationist looked scornful. “The Four Evils are a threat even the Earthly Sovereign is unable to resolve completely, and you’re saying you can do it? What a joke!”
“Just because the Earthly Sovereign failed something doesn’t mean I would.” King Taishan declared confidently, “Of course, I did not have the power to handle them in the past, but now? Now it is a different story.”
The Chief Libationist looked puzzled. “Explain yourself.”
“I need the Four Evils to rejuvenate Fengdu and complete my Way. Naturally, there is no way I would allow them to break free from my control.”
“After all, the Four Evils are creatures born of destruction and violence. If they aren’t controlled properly, it is only a matter of time before they threaten my Fengdu and my Great Way. The only way to do that is to take control of them and have them listen to my orders.”
“I doubt it will be easy to take control of the Four Evils,” the Chief Libationist said.
“Of course not. In the ancient times, no one in the entire world could do so.”
King Taishan suddenly changed his tune. “But it’s different now. After being sealed for over ten thousand years, the Four Evils have never been weaker. Now, I am confident that I can control them.”
“Back in the day, when the Earthly Sovereign was sealing the Four Evils, I had seized the opportunity to insert an imprint in their original essence.”
“Of course, a mere imprint is not enough to handle them even in their weakened state. So, I prepared four evil suppressing spiritual treasures and hid them in the four poles, Dong Ji, Xi Huang, Nan Xu, and Bei Yuan[1].”
“The four evil suppressing spiritual treasures are the antithesis of the Four Evils. They can suppress their powers to a significant degree.” The Chief Libationist exchanged glances with each other. “There exists objects that can suppress the Four Evils?”
“All things in the world have their yin and yang, positive and negative counterparts. Even the strongest existences have their weaknesses and bane. The Four Evils are no exception.” King Taishan said, “The four evil suppressing spiritual treasures I prepared exist specifically to suppress the Four Evils.”
