2248: Chapter 2268: Although There Is Resentnt, There Is No Hatred_1 2248: Chapter 2268: Although There Is Resentnt, There Is No Hatred_1 The venerable voice seed not to expect Lin Chen to speak so straightforwardly and calmly, and he could feel that Lin Chen was telling the truth.
He really thought so!
If he couldn’t know his own origins, his own story, and didn’t make everything clear, he would truly turn around and leave, avoiding danger.
Such a high and mighty figure, right in front of the eyes, represented a trendous opportunity for every cultivator, yet he could ignore it altogether and walk away, which showed his determination and extre caution in his actions.
This kid had co a long way, been through so much, and survived not only because of fate but also because of his personality.
Not everyone could refuse such an opportunity that seed to lead straight to the heavens.
“Kid, you’ve got so guts.
Alright then, it’s no big deal to tell you.
If you need to help, you would end up knowing these things eventually.”
The aged voice softened a bit and began to recount his story: “My na is Chi Zai, my true form is a Starry Sky Demon Beast…”
“Wait a second.”
Lin Chen interrupted him, asking in detail: “Starry Sky Demon Beast, what kind of existence is that, and how is it different from the demonic beasts I’ve seen?”
The ancient voice didn’t mind being interrupted by Lin Chen and explained in detail: “Starry Sky Demon Beasts, strictly speaking, can be considered Demonic Beasts, but they possess a unique ability to absorb the dark energy in the starry skies, transforming it into Demonic Qi, nourishing themselves with it, and becoming a unique existence.”
“Starry Sky Demon Beasts transford by Demonic Qi will not experience backlash, but the Demonic Qi they release can change the beasts of an entire world.
If they continuously absorb Demonic Qi over a long period of ti, while they grow wildly, they will also lose their senses, turning into crazed monsters that only know slaughter.
That’s why the specialized term ‘Magical Beasts’ was coined.”
Lin Chen’s eyes widened: “Does it an that wherever there are Magical Beasts, it was all your doing, like you caused all the magical beasts in this world?”
Chi Zai replied, “Yes, but there are not many Starry Sky Demon Beasts, so the number of worlds we can affect is limited.
The demon race is the mainstream among the non-human cultivators, and Magical Beasts are only a small part of uniquely mutated beings.”
Lin Chen instinctively thought of the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain’s Western Hell; wasn’t that place overrun by Demonic Qi and full of Magical Beasts?
According to Chi Zai’s explanation, was Western Hell also changed because of a Starry Sky Demon Beast?
Although it was hard to imagine how a single Starry Sky Demon Beast could change an entire world, this was after all a cultivation world where immortals could destroy heavens and lands, even obliterate worlds with a wave of the hand.
How could changing a world be impossible?
Moreover, it wasn’t an overnight task for Starry Sky Demon Beasts to change a world with Demonic Qi; it might take tens of thousands of years, possibly even longer.
With such a vast amount of ti, enough for a civilization to evolve from the primitive stages to the peak of scientific achievent and then self-destruct.
Lin Chen exclaid, “Starry Sky Demon Beasts are indeed powerful.
Then why have you been suppressed here?”
Chi Zai sneered, “A few cultivators annoyed , and I chased them down.
When their sect’s people ca to help, I wiped out their sect altogether.
This sect was under his influence, so naturally, he had to step in for them.
After crossing the Star River and engaging in several battles, in the end, right here, I was cornered by him, and he suppressed with his sword.”
Lin Chen asked curiously, “If he had already defeated you, why didn’t he just kill you?”
Chi Zai laughed loudly, “Nothing but fake benevolence.To see dead would’ve been too harsh, claiming that the fault wasn’t really with .
Stating that reaching my level wasn’t easy, thus cutting a sliver of a chance.
As long as I could escape from underneath this sword, he would let bygones be bygones.”
Lin Chen inquired, “So if you free yourself, do you plan to seek revenge on him?”
Chi Zai scoffed, “Unless I break through to the Saint Realm, what good would seeking him out do , only to be cut down once more?
Although I scoff at his fake benevolence, his strength is indisputably real.
I can’t afford to provoke him.
That he cut down before was simply my bad luck.
Isn’t the Immortal Path, survival of the fittest, quite normal?”
Lin Chen said with a laugh, “Senior seems to take it quite philosophically.”
Chi Zai spat out, “What can I do if I can’t take it?
I can’t push myself to death over it, can I?
Since I’m no match for him, if I were to reach the Saint Realm, you’ll see if I don’t seek him out.
I’d suppress him in so godforsaken place, let him experience what I’ve gone through for so long…”
Lin Chen nodded, “Alright then, Senior, please continue your story.”
“Didn’t I already tell it?
What else is there to say?”
Chi Zai grumbled with an annoyed tone: “So reckless kids, relying on treasures from their sect, tried to capture my child.
I caught them in the act, and of course, I didn’t let them off.
As for the rest, being unable to beat that man was simply an issue of my skills not being up to par, nothing more to say.”
Lin Chen uttered, “Your child is alright, isn’t he?”
“He’s fine, I managed to rescue him.”
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief; no wonder Chi Zai, despite bearing grudges against the owner of the sword, held no deep-seated hatred.
From different standpoints, the fact that the owner of the sword spared Chi Zai’s life was already quite gracious.
“Okay then, Senior, how can I be of assistance to you?”
