The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 821 You're Just a Craftsman at Best
"Everyone says you're powerful, but I really want to test just how powerful you are. Are you truly the number one expert in the Combined Dao Realm?"
Chen Xiao smiled strangely and said softly.
"Hmph, if you have the guts, come out!"
Chen Sihai, or rather, Lin Batian, said with arrogance.
"Noisy!"
Chen Xiao raised his hand and shattered the Hunkun Bracelet on his clone.
Immediately afterward, with a 'poof' sound, Chen Xiao's body turned into a piece of withered wood.
At the same time, outside the Treasure Pavilion.
Many people were still standing outside the Treasure Pavilion, waiting to see what kind of heaven-defying treasure the champion of this year's Heaven's Pride Battle would obtain.
After all, the treasures in the Treasure Pavilion could greatly enhance one's combat power.
Just then, Lin Batian, who had been humbly standing at the back of the crowd with a low profile, suddenly flashed his eyes and walked forward.
Wherever he passed, people fell to the ground. One by one, the great figures in the Transformation Void Realm or the Combined Dao Realm fell like soft noodles.
When he arrived in front of the Treasure Pavilion, no one was left standing.
But that wasn't the end. He glared fiercely, and his eyes turned pure white, emitting a powerful light, like the sun, making it impossible for people to look directly at him.
"Soul Technique, forget this memory!"
With this faint voice, white light scattered from his eyes, flying towards everyone who had experienced this year's Heaven's Pride Battle.
And they also fell into a coma, and when they woke up, they would forget this memory.
After finishing all this, Lin Batian shouted at the Treasure Pavilion, "Chen Xiao, you brat, hurry up and come out to die!"
"What's all the racket? I never said I wouldn't come out!"
As soon as Lin Batian finished speaking, the door of the Treasure Pavilion opened, and Chen Xiao walked out leisurely.
Entering the Treasure Pavilion was a bit troublesome, but coming out of the Treasure Pavilion was not that complicated.
Chen Xiao looked at Lin Batian indifferently, and the corner of his mouth rose, revealing a sneer: "Old guy, I finally see you!"
"Hehe, why does it sound like we've never met before? Don't forget, I gave you your little life!"
Lin Batian said, grinning.
"My purpose in creating you was to have you help me collect the Holy Relics. Now that your mission is complete, I can allow you to live, as long as you obediently hand over the Holy Relics!"
"Even without the Holy Relics, you are still a powerful master, and it's no problem for you to roam the secular world."
"But if you don't listen to me obediently... hehe, I can create you, and naturally I can destroy you!"
Lin Batian said coldly.
"You keep saying that you created me, but I'm very curious, how exactly did you create me? What exactly am I? Am I the same existence as that mad monk Yuan Chen?"
Chen Xiao suddenly asked.
"You're quite self-aware. In essence, you are no different from the mad monk Yuan Chen, but you are clearly a better work than Yuan Chen!"
"That mad monk always obeyed my orders, even after decades."
"But you are different. You have your own consciousness. You are my work, yet you are like a real person, no... you have surpassed the category of human beings!"
"I have to say, you are my greatest work, a great work of the right time, the right place, and the right people. Even if I were to replicate you, I couldn't do it!"
"But, a work is just a work after all, and shouldn't violate the master's orders, and the purpose of your creation, so hand over the Holy Relics."
Lin Batian continued to force Chen Xiao to submit, and tempted him with benefits, "Of course, if you still want to do what you did before, following me is the same. Overthrow the Heavenly Dao. On this point, our goals are the same, but you must listen to me. I say east, you can't go west, I say south, you can't go north!"
"My son, Chen Xiao, do you understand what your father is saying?"
After listening to Lin Batian's words, Chen Xiao laughed directly, "Hehe, what you said is really nice. You keep saying that I was created by you, and that I am your greatest work, that you can't replicate even if you want to!"
"Actually, in other words, my coming into this world is just through your hands. I am the son of destiny, and you are just a craftsman at best!"
After figuring out this problem, Chen Xiao understood everything, and there was a hearty feeling in his chest.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, the fact that he was created by Lin Batian had always bothered him.
It wasn't until just now that he suddenly realized.
It was true that he was created by Lin Batian, but more than that, he was born in response to the times!
The greater the opportunity he encountered, the heavier the fate he carried!
And his fate was obviously not something that Lin Batian, this 'craftsman,' could manipulate.
"Lin Batian, I'll give you a chance too. If you are willing to join my camp, and listen to my orders from now on, I can spare you from death! Otherwise, today will be the day of your demise!"
Chen Xiao said domineeringly.
"The day of my demise?"
Lin Batian grinned and laughed, "Boy, with just you? Your biggest trump card is just the Seven Divine Aspects. Do you think that with the Seven Divine Aspects, you can do anything to me? How naive!"
"If the Seven Divine Aspects can't do anything to you, then what if you add my Nine Heavens Divine Maiden Aspect?"
Hearing this voice, Lin Batian was stunned.
Looking back, it was actually Ziwei Dao Shou who stood up.
Moreover, it wasn't just Ziwei Dao Shou who stood up.
"Add my Wine Sword Immortal Aspect, Lin Batian, do you dare to fight?"
Yun Lan bowed and held his sword, facing away from the crowd, and said arrogantly.
"The Immortal Hidden Realm is having such a big excitement, how can I, as one of the Three Sect Dao Shou, be absent? Lingtian War God Aspect, request to fight!"
Duan Yanzhuo showed off his muscles, full of fighting spirit.
"You, how did you wake up!"
Lin Batian looked at everyone in disbelief.
Chen Xiao was not affected by his soul technique, that was because of Chen Xiao's bloodline problem, he was not surprised.
But these three people were not affected by the soul technique, which he never expected.
Unless they already knew his identity, and had taken precautions in advance.
Lin Batian guessed right, Ziwei Dao Shou did take precautions in advance, because Chen Xiao gave him a reminder yesterday.
Moreover, she also followed the clues and found out Lin Batian's true identity!
Therefore, she not only took precautions herself, but also informed the other two of the Three Sect Dao Shou.
"Hehe, Lin Batian, or rather, should I call you White Emperor?"
Ziwei Dao Shou said softly.
Lin Batian was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled casually, "Hehe, my identity was really guessed by you! No wonder you took precautions against me in advance!"
With the strength of the Three Sect Dao Shou, if they took precautions in advance, then his soul technique would indeed be unable to do anything to them.
"White Emperor, the leader of the ancient White Pupil God Clan, known for his soul techniques and puppet techniques!"
"But the clansmen are insidious and cunning, good at stirring up trouble, using the monarch to command the lords, making the people miserable. The Eternal Immortal Emperor then executed his entire clan, but the leader, White Emperor, escaped death, and finally converted to the Eternal Immortal Emperor and became an Immortal Emperor's slave!"
"Until five hundred years ago, when the human race cultivators moved into the Immortal Hidden Realm, they suddenly disappeared."
Ziwei Dao Shou said as if enumerating treasures, and then sighed, "I have to say, your White Pupil God Clan's soul technique is really good. If these contents were not recorded in the history books, I would never be able to remember them."
"Humph!"
White Emperor snorted angrily.
Ziwei Dao Shou's words were tantamount to slapping him in the face.
"If you want to fight, then fight. Stop talking nonsense. The Immortal Sect is no longer the Immortal Sect it used to be. What Three Sect Dao Shou, in my eyes, are nothing but bullshit!"
White Emperor said arrogantly. Looking at his expression, he really didn't seem to take the Three Sect Dao Shou seriously.
And he, who came from ancient times, and had fought against the Eternal Immortal Emperor, indeed had such confidence!
"Senior White Emperor, in fact, this junior still has some questions that I don't quite understand. Before we start, I wonder if Senior White Emperor can tell me?"
Ziwei Dao Shou suddenly became polite.
"Hehe, you want to ask me the purpose of collecting the Holy Relics, right?"
White Emperor asked with a sneer.
Ziwei Dao Shou didn't speak, but nodded, as if admitting it.
"Because, I want to kill a group of beasts, a group of beasts who ascended to the Celestial Realm, that is, your masters and ancestors!"
White Emperor said angrily.
Ascend to the Celestial Realm?
Hearing these words, Chen Xiao was suddenly stunned.
It should refer to those traitors of the human race cultivators who had defected to the Heavenly Dao.
But, they went to the Celestial Realm, why use the word 'ascend'?
"I admire the Eternal Immortal Emperor, but I despise your masters and ancestors from the bottom of my heart. What qualifications do they have to be above me, and to act arrogantly against me?"
A strong hatred appeared in White Emperor's eyes.
"Hmph, White Emperor, don't forget your identity. You are just a slave of the Eternal Immortal Emperor, a mere prisoner, how dare you call yourself Emperor?"
Duan Yanzhuo interrupted White Emperor's words with dissatisfaction.
White Emperor snorted coldly: "You and them are also birds of a feather. Fine, before killing them all, I will kill their disciples and grandchildren first, although they may no longer care about your life and death!"
"How unreasonable, I will not allow you to slander my masters and ancestors!"
Yun Lan drew his sword with a clang, and he seemed to be a little angry.
And the reason why he was angry was because he knew that White Emperor was not talking nonsense.
Those masters and ancestors of the Three Sects really didn't care about the life and death of their disciples and grandchildren.
This is their so-called detachment!
This is also Yun Lan's consistent principle. He thought he had already done it, but what was this anger now?
Perhaps even he himself could not explain it clearly.
At this time, Chen Xiao suddenly interjected: "Wait, what do you mean by ascending to the Celestial Realm?"
White Emperor smiled at him, "Silly boy, haven't you figured out this question yet?"
