“This world is about the victor being the king and the vanquished being the villain. What external divine ability, what not external divine ability? As long as I obtain the Stone Monkey Celestial Art and defeat you, I can reclaim the title of the number one genius in the Seven Kingdoms. At that time, everyone will praise me, and no one will mock me or say that I used external divine abilities to defeat you.” The Fourth Prince looked at Lin Changqing and said proudly. After a conversation with his imperial father, Qin Wushang, he had figured things out.
Previously, Lin Changqing's words, 'A true strong person's path is always under their own feet,' had shattered his Dao heart. But through his conversation with Qin Wushang, he realized that wasn't the case. Just like his imperial father, Qin Wushang, who didn't create his own divine ability but still defeated his imperial uncle who did, and ultimately became the victor.
Therefore, the Fourth Prince felt that as long as he obtained the Stone Monkey Celestial Art, regardless of whether it was an external divine ability or not, as long as he could defeat Lin Changqing, that was enough!
“You are indeed pathetic to the extreme. A true strong person will never rely on external forces to defeat an opponent.” Lin Changqing shook his head and said, “The moment you place your hope on using the Stone Monkey Celestial Art to defeat me, you have already lost, because you also know that with your own strength alone, you are not my match!”
“Lin Changqing, your remarks are utterly ridiculous. Are you afraid that His Highness the Fourth Prince will obtain the Stone Monkey Celestial Art and defeat you, causing you to lose face completely? Are you afraid of losing the title of the Seven Kingdoms' genius that you finally obtained?”
Before the Fourth Prince could retort, his retainer, Daoist Tianchong, jumped out from the crowd, pointed at Lin Changqing, and loudly berated him with a righteous air: “Lin Changqing, you are afraid! The situation is already very clear. The greatest opportunity on the Starry Sky Ancient Road is destined for His Highness the Fourth Prince. The Stone Monkey Celestial Art is already within the Fourth Prince's grasp. You are afraid. You are afraid that His Highness the Fourth Prince will surpass you after obtaining the Stone Monkey Celestial Art, so you are now desperately slandering him. You say the Fourth Prince's Stone Monkey Celestial Art is an external divine ability? I think you are afraid that the Fourth Prince will use the Stone Monkey Celestial Art to defeat you in the future!”
Daoist Tianchong said arrogantly, looking up at Lin Changqing with a smug expression: “Lin Changqing, if you know fear, it's not too late to kneel down and apologize to the Fourth Prince now. Otherwise, when the Fourth Prince obtains the Stone Monkey Celestial Art in the future, he will beat you until you can't fight back!”
“What kind of trash are you, daring to bark like a dog here?” Lin Changqing suddenly turned his head and looked coldly at Daoist Tianchong.
This turn of the head startled Daoist Tianchong, especially Lin Changqing's indifferent gaze. However, he thought that the Fourth Prince was about to obtain the Stone Monkey Celestial Art, so he didn't need to be afraid of Lin Changqing anymore, and his courage grew: “Lin Changqing, you don't need to scare me. What I said just now is the truth. You will be no match for the Fourth Prince who obtains the Stone Monkey Celestial Art. What's the use of you scaring me? It won't prevent the Fourth Prince from obtaining the Stone Monkey Celestial Art and thoroughly defeating you later!”
“Furthermore!” Daoist Tianchong shouted sharply, “Lin Changqing, I bet you don't dare to attack me. The situation is no longer your one-man show as before. In the future, with the Stone Monkey Celestial Art, His Highness the Fourth Prince will definitely defeat you. Do you dare to attack me? His Highness the Fourth Prince will avenge me when he comes out in the future!”
“That's right, Tianchong is my man. Lin Changqing, you'd better be sensible and not touch him. Otherwise, after I come out in a few moments, I will definitely beat you to a pulp.” The Fourth Prince was also supporting Daoist Tianchong, and between the master and servant, they completely disregarded Lin Changqing!
“Haha, threatening me? What are you two? Especially you, Daoist Tianchong.” Lin Changqing looked up and laughed, then walked up to Daoist Tianchong in one step.
“Lin Changqing, you, what are you going to do? I don't believe you dare to attack me!”
“What kind of trash are you, saying I wouldn't dare to attack you!” With a snap, Lin Changqing sneered and slapped out directly. This slap made Daoist Tianchong spin three times in place!
“You even wanted me to kneel down and apologize!? You should kneel down for me first!” Lin Changqing sneered and kicked Daoist Tianchong in the knee, causing him to scream and kneel on the ground.
“Lin Changqing, let me go! His Highness the Fourth Prince will not let you go! He will definitely avenge me after obtaining the Stone Monkey Celestial Art.” Daoist Tianchong roared, looking at Lin Changqing with hatred. He felt that Lin Changqing's arrogance was only temporary. When his master, His Highness the Fourth Prince, obtained the Stone Monkey Celestial Art and came out later, he would definitely avenge him and defeat Lin Changqing, letting Lin Changqing also taste the feeling of kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.
“Haha, not to mention your master, the Fourth Prince, even with the Stone Monkey Celestial Art, he is not my opponent. Moreover, why do you think the Stone Monkey Celestial Art is his for the taking?” Lin Changqing put his hands behind his back and laughed loudly.
“What do you mean by that?” Daoist Tianchong, who was kneeling on the ground after being beaten, suddenly had a bad feeling. The Fourth Prince in the inheritance palace also narrowed his eyes.
“Open your dog eyes and take a good look at what this is?” Lin Changqing sneered, slowly taking out a black jade pendant from his storage bag. The jade pendant was engraved with a stone monkey working at a desk, giving off an indescribable sense of aura.
This was precisely the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant.
At the moment of seeing this jade pendant, Daoist Tianchong's eyes widened. How could it be? Isn't this the Fourth Prince's Yin-Yang Jade Pendant? There should only be one in the world, why does Lin Changqing have one too!
The Fourth Prince's face was also full of disbelief: “Impossible, impossible, the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant was given to me by my imperial father. There should only be one in this world. Why does Lin Changqing have one too?”
The cultivators of the Seven Kingdoms in the audience were also very shocked.
“Look quickly, what did Lin Changqing take out? It's exactly the same as the one in the Fourth Prince's hand, it's actually also a Yin-Yang Jade Pendant.” A Chu country cultivator said in shock.
“It is indeed the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant. Doesn't that mean that Lin Changqing also has a chance to enter the inheritance palace? Doesn't that mean that the Stone Monkey Celestial Art has now become Lin Changqing's again?” A Zhao country cultivator said with infinite emotion. He once again felt the impermanence of the world. Just now, everyone thought that the Stone Monkey Celestial Art was Lin Changqing's, but now the situation has reversed again, because Lin Changqing also took out a Yin-Yang Jade Pendant!
“Good, great, let that Fourth Prince and his lackeys be so arrogant. Lin Changqing has the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant, he will be able to enter the inheritance palace later. Now I see how the Fourth Prince will obtain the Stone Monkey Celestial Art!” Some cultivators who disliked the Wu country applauded and praised.
“Impossible, impossible, how can you have the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant like His Highness?” At this moment, Daoist Tianchong's face was completely lost. He never thought that Lin Changqing would also have the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant.
Now that he thought about it, Daoist Tianchong felt that his previous thoughts were completely a joke. He hoped that the Fourth Prince would obtain the Stone Monkey Celestial Art and defeat Lin Changqing, but now it seemed that Lin Changqing also had the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant, which meant that the hope of the Stone Monkey Celestial Art falling into the Fourth Prince's hands was almost zero.
“Weren't you very arrogant just now? Weren't you very fond of barking? Bark a little more for me.” Lin Changqing looked indifferently at Daoist Tianchong.
