Chapter 264 - 19: The Celestial Dao’s Decree—112 Years of Demon Sect Ascendancy? (Part 2)
"Our Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect has ways to preserve life; escaping from the relic of a mere Nascent Soul power is not difficult."
"It’s just a pity that it’s too difficult to fully cultivate the Three Revolutions Golden Yuan Skill."
When Lin Chen spoke, there was a hint of regret in his eyes.
Li Tianhan nodded after hearing this and said:
"The world is in chaos today, and cultivation is fundamental... If you want to fully cultivate the Three Revolutions Golden Yuan Skill, it’s too much of a time waste."
"I, a humble monk, only cultivated one revolution, scattered my cultivation once, but condensed a Super Grade Golden Core."
Speaking of this, Li Tianhan asked:
"I wonder about Brother Xu..."
"Celestial Grade Golden Core," Lin Chen said flatly.
Upon hearing this, Li Tianhan was immediately filled with respect; a Celestial Grade Golden Core is a once-in-a-century genius in Qing State.
"No wonder you are Brother Xu; achieving a Celestial Grade Golden Core means there’s hope for you to become a True Monarch of Divinity Transformation in the future!"
Li Tianhan sighed but wasn’t too envious, just focusing on eating meat and drinking wine.
He has a bold and generous nature, only cultivating one revolution of the Golden Yuan Skill was his own choice, with no regrets.
"Since I came out of the Golden Yuan Sect relic, I’ve been looking all the way for that Ghost-Eyed Old Monster."
"As long as that Ghost-Eyed Old Monster is alive, my heart can find no peace!"
Saying this, a hint of killing intent flashed in Li Tianhan’s eyes.
"I wasn’t there personally during the disaster in Jade Belt City, but among the million slaughtered in that disaster, nine out of ten..."
Li Tianhan took another large gulp of wine.
Seeing this, Lin Chen also realized that Li Tianhan truly detests evil as an enemy.
"Taoist Friend Li, although our Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect does not interfere in the war between Orthodox and Demonic Party, I still must toast you."
After a few more drinks,
Li Tianhan whispered:
"Taoist Friend Xu, we two are old acquaintances... this time give me a little inside information."
"Your Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect, are you really just businessmen? Coming from the Outer State to our Qing State... just for business?"
Lin Chen blinked and said: "Naturally."
Li Tianhan, however, looked skeptical, whispering:
"Severely injuring Ghost-Eyed Old Monster in Jade Belt City, selling a large number of Golden Yuan Pills, destroying Wild Wolf Sect..."
"These events have already affected the balance of Qing State’s Orthodox and Demonic Party; did you know?"
Lin Chen still said:
"That’s merely for self-preservation; the Demon Path seeks to harm the members of our Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect, we cannot just sit and wait to die, can we?"
Li Tianhan stared intently into Lin Chen’s eyes, then laughed suddenly, took a sip of wine, and said:
"No matter what you intend, in this current situation... you’ve already entered the game."
"Since you’re in the game, you are no longer your own master."
"The land of Qing State, the Demon Sect will prosper for one hundred and twelve years... this was said by a True Monarch personally!"
The Demon Path will prosper... for one hundred and twelve years?
Spoken personally by a True Monarch of Divinity Transformation?
Lin Chen fell silent.
Previously, from the words of Ling Xuzi and Wang Changchun, Lin Chen was aware that there seemed to be some secret behind the battles of the Orthodox and Demonic Party.
But the specifics were unknown to Lin Chen.
But hearing Li Tianhan accurately state today that the Demon Path would prosper for one hundred and twelve years,
it’s just too incredible...
"Haha, the Demon Path prospering for one hundred and twelve years... this I did not know."
"Also, Taoist Friend Li, where did you hear about this?"
Lin Chen sipped his wine, calmly asking.
Li Tianhan shook his head and said:
"Naturally, it was spoken by those above, but with my status, I do not know the reason behind it."
"I only know that the rise of the Demon Sect is destined by the Celestial Dao... beyond human capability to overturn."
"Including all the major powers in Qing State, reluctant to involve themselves in this murky water, is also for this reason..."
Saying this, Li Tianhan looked at Lin Chen and said:
"With Taoist Friend Xu’s status, if you say you don’t know this matter, I do not believe."
"But knowing such a great undertaking, your esteemed sect still dares to join... could it be you know something else?"
Lin Chen remained silent upon hearing this.
The Demon Sect prospering for one hundred and twelve years, he truly did not know!
As someone from the High Martial World, Lin Chen never considered himself a virtuous Martial Artist.
However, aiding and abetting in the Demon Sect’s harm to mortals, Lin Chen could never do.
Thus, Lin Chen drank the wine in his cup with a laugh and said:
"What destiny of the Celestial Dao? Xu, in my life, does not believe in the Celestial Dao... I only believe, man can conquer heaven!"
"Even a True Monarch of Divinity Transformation cannot dictate the fate of all under heaven... I don’t believe the Demon Sect will prosper for one hundred and twelve years!"
Upon hearing this, Li Tianhan’s eyes brightened.
"Good, what a ’man can conquer heaven’!"
"Hahaha, I wish I had known Taoist Friend Xu thirty years earlier!"
"Our Demon-Suppressing Temple also does not believe in the rise of the Demon Sect, slaying demons and eradicating evil is the grand vow made by all Martial Monks before Buddha... even if the Demon Path truly prospers for over a hundred years! We will not join in league with them..."
Then, Li Tianhan also drank the wine in his cup, laughing heartily.
The two talked and drank from noon until evening.
During the conversation with Li Tianhan, Lin Chen learned much about hidden matters.
He also gained a better understanding of the situation between the Righteous Alliance and the Demon Sect.
Until it was getting dark, Lin Chen felt it was about time, then stood and said:
"Taoist Friend Li, it was a pleasure to meet today; this discussion has been thoroughly enjoyable for Xu!"
"But Xu still has other matters... I must take my leave first."
Li Tianhan also felt a bit reluctant upon hearing this.
But still clasped his hands together and said:
"The meeting today with Donor Xu was also very enjoyable for this humble monk..."
"Hmm, this humble monk heard that Brother Xu has Golden Yuan Pills and Magical Treasures... I wonder?"
Lin Chen blinked and asked:
"How many does Taoist Friend Li want?"
"Fifty Lower Grade Magical Artifacts, five Lower Grade Magical Treasures, and some Five Thunders and pills... as for Golden Yuan Pills, maybe two or three at the most..."
Li Tianhan rubbed his hands together, eyes filled with anticipation.
Lin Chen just chuckled silently.
