Lin Changqing was mainly worried about adding uncertain factors. If the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant of the Fourth Prince was needed, the two pieces had to be combined to open the Stone Monkey inheritance.
That would mean that he and the Fourth Prince were standing on the same starting line. Although Lin Changqing was confident that if it was a fair competition, whether it was a battle of strength or speed, the Fourth Prince would not be his opponent.
But now Lin Changqing didn't know what the specific inheritance requirements for obtaining the Stone Monkey Celestial Art were. If it was a contest of strength, then ten Fourth Princes tied together couldn't beat him, but the fear was that there would be other requirements.
"Forget it, there's no use worrying so much. Now we can only wait for the Fourth Prince to come and use his Yin-Yang Pendant to open the Stone Monkey inheritance." Shaking his head, Lin Changqing sat down cross-legged. He had tried to put his half of the jade pendant into the circular gap, but the bronze statue didn't move at all. So, it seemed that he really had to wait for the other half of the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant from the Fourth Prince.
So, Lin Changqing could only wait.
After another half-incense stick of time, hurried footsteps suddenly echoed in the inheritance palace. It was the Fourth Prince who had arrived, panting. From this, one could also see the horror of Lin Changqing's Kun Peng Celestial Art, actually leading by a full half-incense stick of time before the Fourth Prince arrived.
"Lin Changqing, what's the use of you running so fast? Haven't you obtained the Stone Monkey Celestial Art yet?"
The moment he entered the palace, the Fourth Prince felt relieved. He had been worried that Lin Changqing was so far ahead of him that he probably had already obtained the Stone Monkey Celestial Art.
But when he saw Lin Changqing sitting cross-legged under a Stone Monkey bronze statue, and there were no special inheritance spiritual power fluctuations, the Fourth Prince roughly understood that Lin Changqing had not yet obtained the Stone Monkey Celestial Art inheritance.
"Is that so? You're too late. Also, have you seen those bronze statues in front of you? I've learned a lot of immortal divine powers from them." Lin Changqing said with a smile. He pointed with his left fingertip, and a three-foot-long flame blade appeared. With a wave of his right hand, a vast expanse of black smoke appeared. Next, Lin Changqing successively displayed several immortal divine powers.
Seeing this scene, the Fourth Prince's eyes widened. He could see the power of these divine powers that Lin Changqing displayed. And after hearing what Lin Changqing had just said, how could the Fourth Prince not understand that these were new opportunities that Lin Changqing had obtained!
"Divine powers learned from these bronze statues, damn it! As expected, Lin Changqing has obtained a good opportunity, but fortunately, he hasn't obtained the greatest opportunity, the Stone Monkey Celestial Art." The Fourth Prince clenched his left hand tightly. He glanced at the huge Stone Monkey bronze statue in front of Lin Changqing, and also saw the huge gap at the bottom of the statue. He immediately judged that this circular gap probably needed his Yin-Yang Jade Pendant to fill it.
Because the two Yin-Yang Jade Pendants combined perfectly matched this circular gap.
At this moment, the Fourth Prince also preliminarily understood why Lin Changqing was waiting at the bottom of the statue.
"Fourth Prince, let's not beat around the bush. Inside this Stone Monkey bronze statue in front of me is the inheritance of the Stone Monkey Celestial Art, but it requires the combination of your and my Yin-Yang Jade Pendants to fill this circular gap to open it," Lin Changqing said directly, not wanting to waste time.
The Fourth Prince narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Haha, you really encountered trouble. I said it was useless for you to run faster than me, you still need to wait for my Yin-Yang Jade Pendant, right!?
"Besides, why should I help you open the inheritance of the Stone Monkey Celestial Art? Why should I give you my Yin-Yang Jade Pendant? If the Stone Monkey Celestial Art inheritance is opened, I admit that I am not your opponent and definitely cannot compete with you. Since this is the case, why should I help you open the Stone Monkey bronze statue? Don't you think your statement just now is ridiculous?"
The Fourth Prince laughed coldly.
"Since you don't want to give it, then I'll just snatch it!" Saying that, Lin Changqing took a step forward fiercely, seemingly about to attack. Since the Fourth Prince didn't want to take out the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant, it was easy to handle. Wouldn't it be fine for him to snatch it back?
"Lin Changqing, I can't beat you, but before you attack, it's very easy for me to destroy this jade pendant." The Fourth Prince smiled sinisterly, and suddenly took out the jade pendant from his storage bag with his left hand. All the spiritual power in his body was concentrated on his left hand, as if as long as Lin Changqing dared to move, he would dare to shatter this jade pendant with spiritual power!
"Fourth Prince, are you lacking confidence? If your and my Yin-Yang Jade Pendants combine to open the Stone Monkey Celestial Art inheritance, then you and I will still be on the same starting line. Who the Stone Monkey Celestial Art will ultimately fall into is still unknown."
Lin Changqing pondered for a moment and said. He had a 50% certainty of being able to snatch the jade pendant before the Fourth Prince made a move, but there was also another 50% certainty that he would be too late.
Although his strength crushed the Fourth Prince.
But the Fourth Prince didn't need to defeat him, he just needed to react a little faster and crush the jade pendant.
Lin Changqing couldn't afford such a price, because once this Yin-Yang Jade Pendant was broken, then he would have no hope of opening the statue and obtaining the Stone Monkey Celestial Art inheritance. So, at this moment, he tried to provoke the Fourth Prince.
"Haha, Lin Changqing! The tactic of provocation is useless to me." The Fourth Prince laughed loudly, "I have self-awareness, I am definitely not your opponent. Since this is the case, then let's not have the Stone Monkey Celestial Art, anyway, even if the Stone Monkey statue is opened, I will definitely not be able to compete with you at that time. Since this is the case, it is better to crush the jade pendant in my hand, so that no one can get the Stone Monkey Celestial Art!"
Hearing this, Lin Changqing didn't expect the Fourth Prince to be such a tough nut to crack. Was this still the proud son of heaven from before?
Now he actually directly admitted that he couldn't compete with Lin Changqing, and even said that he wasn't his opponent.
Just like that, the matter fell into a stalemate. The Fourth Prince wanted to destroy the jade pendant in his hand, and Lin Changqing also wanted to choose an appropriate time to perfectly snatch the jade pendant from the Fourth Prince's hand.
Suddenly, things took a turn for the better. Lin Changqing suddenly laughed twice, looked at the Fourth Prince and laughed, "Fourth Prince, I know you won't destroy the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant in your hand. You are a genius, I know you are unwilling to be defeated by me, and you are also unwilling for the Stone Monkey Celestial Art to be taken away by me. You definitely want to seize the Stone Monkey Celestial Art."
"If you destroy the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant in your hand, then you will never have hope of defeating me. Use the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant to open the Stone Monkey statue and obtain the Stone Monkey Celestial Art. You still have hope of defeating me. If you crush the jade pendant, then you really have no hope."
"Lin Changqing!" The Fourth Prince's eyes turned cold, "That old saying is indeed correct. As expected, only the enemy knows you best."
The Fourth Prince gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, I won't destroy the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant. You are indeed right, the Stone Monkey Celestial Art is indeed my only chance to catch up with you. If I break the jade pendant, you will not be able to obtain the Stone Monkey Celestial Art, but I will also forever lose the hope of catching up with you!"
The Fourth Prince had to admit that Lin Changqing had hit his sore spot. The Fourth Prince could indeed threaten Lin Changqing by destroying the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant.
Just like the Fourth Prince said before, anyway, I can't beat you, so it's better for no one to get the Stone Monkey Celestial Art.
But the Fourth Prince was also very eager for the Stone Monkey Celestial Art, because only by obtaining the Stone Monkey Celestial Art would he have a chance to defeat Lin Changqing.
