Chapter 601: Tianyunzi — Defying Fate?
Upon hearing this, Chen Lan frowned even more. Seeing the other party casually pick up the hot tea, gently blow on it, and take a sip, he followed suit.
Hmm?!
With just one sip, Chen Lan widened his eyes. He felt the Dao Energy within him rising, astonishingly increasing by five points, slightly enhancing his power.
What kind of tea is this?
It actually has such miraculous effects!
"Kid, you’re quite arrogant." Tianyunzi put down his teacup and spoke calmly.
Though the tone was calm, the words were anything but calming.
Chen Lan’s pupils slightly contracted, and he looked at Tianyunzi with a wary gaze, speaking in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that, senior?"
"Is the current situation difficult for you?" Tianyunzi answered with another question, looking at Chen Lan with a half-smile.
Chen Lan felt annoyed. What was this old man trying to do? He had always disliked people who spoke in riddles, mysterious and cryptic. Couldn’t he just speak plainly and clearly?
"Difficult." Chen Lan answered truthfully. What he needed to face were the Five War Gods, the Celestial Emperor, and the unknown heavens.
The various obstacles ahead were indeed difficult, but he wouldn’t give up.
"Since it’s difficult, why not use the Celestial Destiny Pearl? It is a treasure that can defy fate."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lan’s pupils contracted again. Could it be that the Celestial Destiny Pearl can indeed defy fate?
"Could it be that by using the Celestial Destiny Pearl, we can slay the Five War Gods and the Celestial Emperor, annihilate the Evil Race, and flatten the heavens?"
"No, it’s not possible."
Chen Lan was speechless. If this doesn’t work and that doesn’t work, then what’s the point of using it?
If nothing works, saying it can defy fate is truly a joke.
"Is senior joking?" Chen Lan asked with a frown.
"It can allow you to leave the Celestial Domain and return another day. You know, you’re currently no match for the Celestial Emperor. What you’ve seen is just the tip of the iceberg, his true power hasn’t been fully revealed." Tianyunzi reigned in his smile and spoke earnestly.
"Senior is referring to his Outer Body Incarnation, right?" Chen Lan spoke casually.
"So, you’ve noticed as well." Tianyunzi said with some surprise.
"No need to notice, the more powerful one is, the more they fear death. The Celestial Emperor is unlikely to appear in the flesh; that was definitely an incarnation earlier. The true form is unknown."
There’s no need to see, it’s something easily deduced.
Many strong individuals cultivate incarnations to take their place publicly, allowing the real self to cultivate in secret, or perhaps the true form is no longer in the Celestial Domain.
"His true form is in the heavens," Tianyunzi said.
This confirmed Chen Lan’s suspicions, but left him puzzled about his inability to even defeat the incarnation.
"I don’t plan to leave the Celestial Domain. I will accompany him to the end. If senior is trying to persuade me to give up opposing the Celestial Emperor, then I refuse."
"No, I’m here to help you. I practice destiny, I can see parts of the future, and I can see parts of your future as well."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lan furrowed his brow again. He had searched for countless Fate Masters to see through his future, yet no one could. Could this old man really see through it?
"You doubt me. Of course, you can maintain that doubt. If the future is spoken out loud, it won’t come true." Tianyunzi smiled faintly, once again shrouding himself in mystery.
"Senior, if you have something to say, just say it. Don’t beat around the bush." Chen Lan said in a deep voice.
He understood. This old man knew he had destroyed the Celestial Destiny Pearl and was deliberately making fun of him for personal vendetta.
What a clueless old man.
"You are cursing me in your heart." Tianyunzi said with a faint smile, perhaps to prove he could indeed see through Chen Lan.
"Hmm, so what?" Chen Lan nodded, openly admitting it.
Tianyunzi was taken aback, somewhat bewildered, not expecting Chen Lan to admit it so openly, showing no fear whatsoever.
"Interesting, no wonder you are the Demon Emperor, cultivating the Path of Invincibility. Indeed, your heart is set on being invincible, fearing nothing." Tianyunzi laughed but quickly reined in his smile, changing the subject: "Do you have other questions, such as thinking about Song Baiyi, wondering if our strength is so formidable and we can see the future, why don’t we kill the Celestial Emperor?"
"Yes, since senior claims to have seen the future, your strength must be extraordinary. Song Baiyi’s strength is also remarkable. He keeps a low profile. I thought there couldn’t be a lack of strong individuals in the Celestial Domain. This has been puzzling me since I arrived here. Do you all willingly allow yourselves to be suppressed by the Evil Race and become slaves?" Chen Lan was puzzled.
Such a long time has passed, surely a few strong individuals have emerged. Seeing Tianyunzi, he realized he was not wrong.
Song Baiyi could match evenly with the Celestial Emperor, and Tianyunzi’s strength was surely formidable. Handling the Five War Gods shouldn’t be an issue; Fate Masters are the most absurd.
They could foresee the opponent’s moves, devise countermeasures ahead of time, or slay them before action.
The Three Thousand Great Dao says: Time is Emperor, Space is King, and destiny doesn’t appear; cause and effect reign supreme.
There’s truth to this saying, if destiny is well utilized, it can rank second.
"Because the Celestial Emperor cannot be killed. If killed, the Celestial Domain will be utterly destroyed," Tianyunzi said solemnly, finishing his tea in a single sip. He stood up, walked to the window, leaving his back to Chen Lan, his hands behind his back.
Chen Lan was puzzled. Speaking halfway and then giving him a back view, what was this?
Perhaps this was a little eccentricity of a master.
"What does senior mean?" Chen Lan asked in confusion.
The Celestial Emperor can’t be killed?
Doesn’t that make him invincible?
"To be precise, we cannot kill him. We must wait for you to come to kill him."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lan became even more confused. Must wait for him to kill?
"Only you can do it, no one else," Tianyunzi turned around, looking at Chen Lan with an utterly serious expression.
Chen Lan was silent, furrowing his brow, deep in thought.
"The Celestial Emperor is very strong. I have already allied with three Divine Daoists. With you, Yang Tian, and Gu Changge, we have a chance of exterminating the Five War Gods. I can distract the Celestial Emperor, but I don’t know if he has any other aces up his sleeve. With such a strong opponent, the future I can see is limited, prone to backlash and getting discovered by him."
Peering into destiny can easily be detected by the one being observed, especially someone as powerful as the Celestial Emperor. However, he’s certain, the chance of winning this battle is one hundred percent. How perilous it might be is unclear.
But in the future, Chen Lan wins this battle, the price unknown, but the result is good, isn’t it?
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so confident.
"What should I do?"
