"Master told us that he is confident in helping one person ascend to sainthood, but... only one person."
The words of the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch made Lin Chen suddenly widen his eyes.
"The Immortal Emperor... really has a way? Not like Cheng Tuo’s fake saint?"
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch shook his head: "Of course not. If it were soone like Cheng Tuo, we wouldn’t be so eager. After all, you’ve seen that the three of us together can hold our own against Cheng Tuo."
"Although individually, we lag far behind Cheng Tuo, we do not envy him. After all, his life will remain stagnant, with no possibility of progress."
Lin Chen smiled bitterly: "Three people, one spot. No wonder... the Jade Star Lord doesn’t want to participate in the competition, does he?"
"Yes."
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch replied, "Actually, the three of us all agree that this Junior Brother is the one Master most favors and appreciates. If he were to join the competition, perhaps none of us would stand a chance against him."
"He’d rather not reveal that he is an Immortal Emperor’s disciple and stay away from our conflict. I truly admire him for that. That’s the Saint Realm we’re talking about, and he let go just like that. I could never do it."
Lin Chen understood Seven-colored Immortal Monarch’s sentint. The Immortal Path is long and perilous; immortals often are willing to pay any price to reach higher realms.
The Saint Realm is the supre existence in the minds of immortals. In the entire Immortal Realm, there are only three Saints!
Who wouldn’t want to beco a Saint?
"Did the Immortal Emperor say anything to you? Is your competition based on specific rules, or are you doing all this just to wait for that na to pop out from the Immortal Emperor’s mouth?"
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch fell into thought, then shook his head after a while.
"The Immortal Venerable didn’t specify the rules of the competition, but ever since we learned only one of us three would ultimately get the opportunity to be led to sainthood, the competition descended upon us, silent and traceless."
"Ti is too long, and no one knows where the spot will end up, but over the lengthy years, competing against each other has beco a habit for us three."
"This ti, accompanying you to the Star Sky Demon Beast Ancestral Land is naturally our best opportunity to prove ourselves. If we can bring back extrely valuable information, ultimately bringing about a significant change on the battlefield, even winning this war, that would naturally be an unparalleled rit."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "If that truly happens, then the competition would naturally have a result, for what could be more important, more ritorious than winning this war?"
"Yes."
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch sighed helplessly, "Unfortunately..."
Lin Chen comforted, "I don’t think you need to hold such expectations. Chi Zai ntioned that they keep the location of the ancestral land secret precisely because they fear the Abyss Demons targeting them. This implies that although they understand the Abyss Demons, they are also powerless against them."
"If our trip goes smoothly, perhaps we can indeed gather much information about the Abyss Demons, but to say we’d bring back information capable of defeating them seems unlikely."
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch grunted, "For gathering information, my Second Brother is better than . Even if others are unwilling to speak, he has his ways to make them. With him accompanying you, he might truly help you."
Lin Chenxin felt a subtle sensation; they were just talking about competition, yet suddenly switched to praising Qingluan Immortal Monarch?
Sothing feels off?
"Does Qingluan Immortal Monarch have any unique skills?"
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch smiled and explained, "Qingluan Immortal Monarch possesses a pot, the Drunken Immortal Pot. This pot can release a smoke that confuses the mind. It’s colorless and odorless, making it difficult even for those at the Daluo Peak to resist. Even a Quasi-Saint finds it challenging to escape being srized if unprepared."
"Those ensnared by the Drunken Immortal Pot act like the walking dead, with neither their thoughts nor bodies under their control. Under such circumstances, if Qingluan Immortal Monarch wishes to know anything, he rely has to ask, and the other party will honestly spill everything."
"The Drunken Immortal Pot has another wondrous aspect; those confused by it often remain unaware of their condition. If Qingluan Immortal Monarch rely wishes to gather information, after getting the answers, he can cleverly employ thods so that those srized feel they’ve rely daydread, with ti seemingly passing only in a flash."
Lin Chenxin was horrified; such a powerful Magical Treasure for easily extracting information. But what if the user intends more harm than just inquiring information?
In the state of being mindless walking dead, how could one resist?
They might not even know how they died, right?
Lin Chenxin grew wary but feigned curiosity on his face: "Then using this Magical Treasure against soone would be silent and traceless, effortlessly capturing the target without harm?"
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch smiled subtly, his smile carrying deeper anings: "How a Magical Treasure is used entirely depends on the owner. Once a person’s mind is confused, adding a few asures to control their life and death is quite simple."
Though the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch was discussing the usage of the Drunken Immortal Pot, Lin Chenxin suddenly felt a wave of coldness rise in his heart.
Control life and death?
Simple?
Why did the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch bring this up proactively?
As the Senior Brother, he naturally couldn’t badmouth his Junior Brother directly, so he used this subtle thod to warn , to be wary of Qingluan Immortal Monarch, so as not to fall into his trap unknowingly?
If on this journey, Qingluan Immortal Monarch developed a murderous intent against for so reason, yet it’s inappropriate for him to kill while traveling together. Firstly, it could provoke suspicion, and secondly, he doesn’t know Star Sky Jump.
But what if Qingluan Immortal Monarch uses a thod to control ?
My life would be in Qingluan Immortal Monarch’s hands, having to comply with all his commands to survive, becoming his slave, unable to control life or death!
Lin Chen stared into the eyes of the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch and laughed, "This Drunken Immortal Pot is really hard to guard against. Does Brother Cong have any counterasures? I’m worried that, should Qingluan Immortal Monarch use it on soone else and inadvertently hurt while I’m with him, it would be quite embarrassing."
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch glanced approvingly, understanding that Lin Chen caught on.
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch laughed, "You are companions; why would he harm you? Even if mistakenly hurt, you’d naturally wake up after the duration ends, but if any mishaps arise, it’d be troubleso. I have an Ice Heart Black Lotus Seed Pendant that I can lend you. Wear it around your neck, and if that happens, it will activate automatically to keep you alert."
Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, "Thank you, Brother Cong!"
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch took out a black lotus seed pendant, with faint icy flowers shimring on its surface.
"Let state in advance, this is rely for lending in case of accidental harm under special circumstances; it’s not a gift. You’ll have to return it after we co back. This thing wasn’t easy to co by; I looked for a long ti to find one, and I’ll need it in the future..."
