Chapter 3308: Chapter 3328: Just because of him, he deserves to enslave me?
Why bother?
It’s like you’re saying I want to deal with you, but wasn’t it always you who sought me out from the beginning to the end?
First you wanted to recruit me as a subordinate, then as a guest elder, and now, having found the opportunity, you boldly take control of me, trying to make me serve you for life.
I must say, you really are decisive!
But if you knew that I’m awake right now, listening to you show off, would you feel awkward or even become angry out of embarrassment?
Qingluan Immortal Monarch crossed his arms, resting his chin on one hand: "Actually, I don’t want this either, but since you refuse to be my friend, and not only that, you saved my senior brother’s life..."
"Sigh, even though he is my senior brother, I also don’t want him to die at the hands of the Abyss Demon, but he has already been captured, even our master has given up, so why did you bring him back?"
"If he were gone, I would only have my junior brother as a competitor, and with his rough nature, he was certainly not my match. Naturally, I could stand out and become the one our master chooses, successfully advancing to a Saint."
"But you ruined everything! Bringing my senior brother back made our master feel guilty towards him. How much do I have to do to outweigh that guilt?"
"You’ve caused me too much trouble!"
Lin Chen listened to Qingluan Immortal Monarch’s monologue, secretly regretting that if only he had an Image Recording Stone to document everything here, and then hand it over to the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch to show the Immortal Emperor, hahaha, that would have been quite a spectacle.
Unfortunately, he could only pretend to be mesmerized now, not daring to make any unnecessary moves for fear of being detected by the Qingluan Immortal Monarch.
These words had already been spoken. If it became apparent that he was pretending, it could not end until death.
"Since you’ve made such a big mistake, you should compensate me. From now on, work for me diligently. Not just you, but also your wife, your master, your friends, all must help me until I become a Saint. By then, I will give you a swift end, sparing you further servitude."
Lin Chen felt a chill in his heart; this guy was truly sinister.
With such a self-righteous facade daily and so much cunning within, it seemed quite likely that the incident with Gu Yue was indeed his doing.
Today, he could target me for my Starry Sky Jumping Divine Ability, so it was very reasonable that he targeted Gu Yue for the Linglong Tower in the past, wasn’t it?
"Lin Chen, lift your head and look into my eyes."
Lin Chen blankly lifted his head, gazing into Qingluan Immortal Monarch’s eyes, striving to maintain his dazed appearance.
Fortunately, he now had complete control over his body, allowing him to easily simulate a dazed expression naturally.
Qingluan Immortal Monarch softly asked, "Tell me again about the origin of this Great Divine Power of Starry Sky Jumping."
Lin Chen knew Qingluan Immortal Monarch wanted to verify his previous explanation, but since it was a fact, there was no need to fabricate anything on the spot, so he recounted the origin of Starry Sky Jumping once more.
Qingluan Immortal Monarch frowned. He had held some hope that the Great Wilderness Saint was lying to deceive other Saints, allowing him to seize it as his trump card life-saving ability. But Lin Chen’s recounting shattered that hope.
The Star Chart Spirit indeed belonged to the Great Wilderness Saint, but it refused to yield to him, ultimately choosing Lin Chen under strange circumstances to escape, only to be sealed in Lin Chen’s Sea of Knowledge by the Great Wilderness Saint.
Even if he forcibly seized the Star Chart Spirit, it was unlikely to cooperate with him, granting him the Starry Sky Jumping ability.
Since forceful coercion wouldn’t work, he had to stick to the original plan of subduing Lin Chen to make him forever obey.
Qingluan Immortal Monarch raised a finger and pointed at Lin Chen’s forehead.
He prepared to use an exclusive forbidden technique to imprison Lin Chen’s Primordial Spirit.
Once he controlled the life and death of the Primordial Spirit, he would control Lin Chen’s life. The body was merely a vessel; the Primordial Spirit was the true core of an immortal.
For a moment, Lin Chen could hardly bear it.
To go straight for the kill like this, how could he keep up his act?
Just as Lin Chen was about to tear the mask and stop pretending, the Star Chart Spirit, originally dormant in the Sea of Knowledge, suddenly stirred.
The Star Chart Spirit transformed into a transparent web-like presence, enveloping Lin Chen’s Primordial Spirit.
This left Lin Chen dumbfounded.
Lin Chen hurriedly inquired, "Senior, what do you mean by this?"
The Star Chart Spirit snorted coldly, "Isn’t this brat trying to imprison your Primordial Spirit? Let him. With me here, any sealing will be in vain."
Lin Chen was overjoyed, "Really?"
The Star Chart Spirit sneered, "Such minor tricks, what are they worth? If I couldn’t handle this, how could I deal with the Great Wilderness Saint, making him helpless against me?"
Huh?
That makes sense!
Lin Chen suddenly realized, the Great Wilderness Saint obtained the Star Chart Spirit, probably couldn’t have refrained from using some aggressive methods to force its submission, right? But after all this stalemate, the Great Wilderness Saint still couldn’t make the Star Chart Spirit submit. To say that the Star Chart Spirit had no tricks at all was impossible.
It could withstand the methods of a Saint, so dealing with the trivial methods of a Quasi-Saint would naturally be no problem.
"Then I’ll trouble you, Senior."
The Star Chart Spirit coldly replied, "Who were they, every Tom, Dick, and Harry dared to mess with me? If they succeed, forcing you to serve them, then what would I become?"
Lin Chen was delighted; he realized that the Star Chart Spirit was annoyed with Qingluan Immortal Monarch for targeting him!
He was chosen by it. Although the ending wasn’t quite what it desired, Lin Chen and it had reached an agreement. If there was ever a chance, he would release it to return to the stars, and it would leave behind an avatar to let Lin Chen continue to enjoy the Starry Sky Jumping ability.
In short, what it chose, whether good or bad, it was satisfied with; what it didn’t choose, it wouldn’t accept!
I didn’t even submit to a Saint, so how could I let a Quasi-Saint have their way with me?
The Star Chart Spirit instantly enveloped Lin Chen’s Primordial Spirit, like putting on an invisible starry sky gauze coat.
At the same time, the spiritual power injected by Qingluan Immortal Monarch landed on the gauze coat of the Star Chart Spirit. It seemed unable to detect the presence of the gauze, directly transforming into a golden chain and instantly ensnaring Lin Chen.
The golden chain seemed to want to tighten, yet seemed to encounter invisible resistance, unable to tighten further.
Due to the Great Wilderness Saint’s methods applied to Lin Chen’s Sea of Knowledge passage, Qingluan Immortal Monarch could not accurately probe the specific situation inside, believing his method had locked Lin Chen’s Primordial Spirit, he exhaled with relief, withdrawing his finger.
However, as he withdrew his finger, Lin Chen’s invisible starry sky gauze coat contorted, and even the golden chain detached from the Primordial Spirit.
Qingluan Immortal Monarch smiled faintly, clapped his hands, "Alright, my servant, I am now eagerly anticipating your reaction later..."
