Chapter 270: "I, Ling Shiqi, Am the One Destined by Heaven!!!" (Part 2)

Chapter 270: "I, Ling Shiqi, Am the One Destined by Heaven!!!" (Part 2)

However—

What he welcomed was the lowest point of his life. He felt like a clown, and it was merely because he didn't win first place and didn't choose the entry right away, allowing someone else to take the opportunity. Even so, obtaining the "Destiny's Favor" Heavenly Dao Entry Group was already a great opportunity, something ordinary people could only look up to.

But it was different from what he had in mind, and this huge gap, especially the feeling of being the first but losing the chance due to not choosing immediately, brought him a strong sense of frustration and regret, making his emotions almost uncontrollable.

Finally—

Ling Shiqi couldn't hold back anymore. With a fierce expression, he glared at the crowd of guests filled with schadenfreude and said through gritted teeth, "From today onwards, Chen Qiu is the Ling Pavilion's eternal target for pursuit. Anyone associated with Chen Qiu will face the wrath of Ling Pavilion!"

"And that Bai Jia from the Heaven-reaching Continent, get over here!"

Without continuing the wedding ceremony, he completely ignored his slightly flustered new bride and headed down from the high platform with a dark expression.

Oh no, it's over.

Bai Jia Jiuzhu rose expressionlessly and headed behind the high platform. He knew, he knew, he damn well knew!

Fuck you!

This had nothing to do with him. Why was he being targeted? Just because the Heavenly Dao Edict resounded in the Heaven-reaching Continent, they wanted to find Bai Jia? Since when did Bai Jia become the sole decision-maker in the Heaven-reaching Continent? How did he not know about this?

It's because you wanted to show off, right? If you hadn't sent out invitations, would this have happened?

Anyone with a normal mind wouldn't send out invitations when facing such a situation.

Damn it!

Although he had cursed inwardly countless times, his expression remained unchanged as he headed behind the high platform. What could he do? From now on, he would have to bear the wrath. What a lunatic! He had provoked Chen Qiu, what did it have to do with him?

Soon—

Before Bai Jia Jiuzhu could speak after meeting Ling Shiqi behind the high platform.

"Slap!"

Ling Shiqi, his face as cold as ice, immediately slapped him, his words filled with killing intent, "Tell me, did you hear this Heavenly Dao Edict before coming to the banquet?"

"I—"

Before he could finish a word, another slap landed.

"So, you heard the Heavenly Dao Edict but still came to the banquet, just to watch me become a joke?"

"I—"

Another slap.

"Since you heard the Heavenly Dao Edict, why didn't you inform me beforehand? Don't forget, your Bai Jia is where it is today because of Ling Pavilion's support. Without Bai Jia, finding a new dog won't be difficult."

"I—"

Yet another slap.

"Tell me everything you know about Chen Qiu.

"I..."

Ling Shiqi slapped him again, his face darkening with anger. "Get lost! I don't want to hear another word from you, you useless fool. Ling Pavilion will find out everything about Chen Qiu on its own."

"I..."

"Get out!"

Ling Shiqi watched Bai Jia Jiuzhu's departing figure, his face darkening in silence. After a while, he suddenly laughed coldly. He had just checked the effect of the Rainbow Entry "Void Targeting," and as long as he knew a person's name and appearance, he could attack Chen Qiu regardless of distance or Celestial Constraints.

As long as he obtained a Shadow Stone with Chen Qiu's appearance, Chen Qiu would face his wrath.

With his cultivation, a small fry like Chen Qiu was no match for him.

A Heavenly Dao Edict rang out in the Third Rank Continent, indicating that Chen Qiu was currently in the Second Rank Continent. He didn't have the time to care about how such a great opportunity could arise in a mere Second Rank Continent. All he wanted was for Chen Qiu to feel his anger.

Chen Qiu would learn that stealing others' opportunities would bring deadly consequences!

A small character from the Second Rank Continent was no match for him, Ling Shiqi. Not to mention, he didn't even need to use Void Targeting.

A glint of killing intent flashed in Ling Shiqi's eyes as he looked at the "Heavenly King" inscription embedded within his Dantian. In the past Sole Emperor Contest, he had earned the title of "Sole Emperor," and the one who claimed this title fastest across all continents would be known as the "Heavenly King."

The power of the "Heavenly King" title far surpassed that of the "Sole Emperor."

This "Heavenly King" title allowed him to travel freely between different continents, which was why he could go to the Fifth Rank Continent and obtain such an opportunity. He planned to use the "Heavenly King" title to personally visit Chen Qiu and show him the wrath of a gentleman.

The opportunities he had encountered on his journey were not limited to just a Heavenly Dao Entry Group; although it was his greatest opportunity, his other opportunities were also impressive. These opportunities formed the foundation of his cultivation.

A small fry from the Second Rank Continent, even if he had stumbled upon some incredible luck to gain such an opportunity, his foundation would undoubtedly pale in comparison to Ling Shiqi's.

Ling Shiqi gradually calmed down, his eyes narrowing in thought. He wouldn't completely underestimate Chen Qiu; since he had obtained such an opportunity, there must be something unique about him. Perhaps he could capture him and take all his opportunities for himself.

Most powerful cultivators rarely encountered opportunities in their lifetimes; they were few and far between.

Almost all opportunities were obtained through plunder.

Ling Shiqi was no exception.

Perhaps this was a blessing in disguise; if not for this incident, he wouldn't have known about Chen Qiu's existence in this vast world. If he could seize more opportunities from Chen Qiu, it would be a blessing from a disaster.

After all, if he didn't consider the loss of face, he had only lost a thread of Heavenly Will, an acceptable price. Although he didn't know what Heavenly Will was used for, it probably wasn't an extraordinary treasure.

---

Bai Jia Jiuzhu's cheeks flushed, and he returned to his seat expressionlessly. He hadn't activated his protective spiritual energy, and the five palm slaps had landed squarely on his face, an unpleasant sensation.

He had wanted to explain.

But from start to finish, he hadn't uttered a single word, only said 'I' five times. After receiving the five slaps, he was sent away.

Fair enough.

After a long silence, Bai Jia Jiuzhu turned his head and gazed into the distance, remaining silent. Everyone knew that if a dog didn't listen, it needed to be disciplined, but you couldn't be too harsh, or it might turn on you."

Yes, Bai Jia had become the top power in the Heaven-reaching Continent under Ling Pavilion's support.

But...

He was still the strongest in the Heaven-reaching Continent, both in status and power, at the pinnacle. The lack of respect and unwillingness to even put on a show meant they didn't care about his retaliation.

Although Bai Jia Jiuzhu sat calmly without speaking, his heart was filled with murderous intent. The trusted followers behind him also kept their heads down, acting as if nothing had happened. At this moment, the best thing they could do was remain quiet.

Meanwhile, in Mystic Heaven State, Chen Qiu was completely unaware of the events unfolding in the outside world. His focus was still on the Vast Continent, and after the celebration banquet ended, he quickly returned to the Celestial Palace to continue his cultivation.

Unfortunately, he wasn't injured.

If he had sustained some injuries, he could have taken the opportunity to rest and recuperate, lying in a rocking chair, becoming one with nature. The scenery in the rear mountain of Mock Heaven Sect, under the care of the Brown Bear Clan, was quite beautiful, and he enjoyed it.

But without any injuries, if he slacked off, he would feel a twinge of guilt.

Even if he did take a break, he wouldn't feel completely at ease.

After the provincial shackles were lifted, and before heading to the Heaven-reaching Continent, he wondered if he could find a chance to get injured or something. Life couldn't always be tense; one needed to relax from time to time.

Chen Qiu shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the Mystic Heaven Throne, gazing at the few strands of red light floating above his Dantian. The three Heavenly Dao Edicts had rewarded him with three threads of Heavenly Will, and with the Green Entry "Regular Guest of Proclamation," he now had six threads. The rank of an entry didn't necessarily determine its strength; for example, he wouldn't trade his green entry for a red one.

Even if it's a rainbow entry, even if it's a rainbow entry, I still have to think carefully.

"Treasure Name": A Thread of Heavenly Will.

"Acquisition Source": Acquired after achieving remarkable achievements, such as being rewarded by the Heavenly Dao Edict, etc.

"Usage Effect":

1: An item used in the Immortal World, its effects are not manifested on continents of fourth rank and below.

"Hmm?"

Chen Qiu's face contorted as he gazed at the treasure panel before him, which was shrouded in clouds. He had used the "Omniscience" entry to check the effect of A Thread of Heavenly Will, and this panel had popped up.

He could understand that it was an item used in the Immortal World.

But outside the Immortal World, not even the slightest effect could be discerned, which seemed a bit excessive.

In other words.

The fifth-rank and above continents are the Immortal World, where one can become an immortal.

For those seeking immortality, the greatest goal of all cultivators is to attain immortality. For almost the vast majority, the fifth-rank continent is a highly anticipated place, as it signifies having achieved immortality and becoming a true immortal, freely roaming the heavens and earth with a lifespan as long as the heavens.

There are a total of six threads of heavenly will, and he could vaguely sense that these six threads could be combined into three, but unlike the Unique Peerless Talent's Fortune, which merges automatically, these six threads could be merged or not according to his will.

Naturally, he wouldn't choose to merge them without knowing their effects. He would wait until he reached the Immortal World to do so.

He was also quite curious about what the Immortal World was like.

What kind of abilities did those so-called immortals possess?

Although he didn't know the specific effects, one thing was certain: this "Heavenly Will" was no ordinary item. Just the difficulty in acquiring it was enough to prove its extraordinary nature, not to mention the allure of the two characters "Heavenly Will" themselves.

If one had to choose the most captivating word in the Chinese language, "Heavenly Will" would undoubtedly be among the top choices. These two characters, even when standing alone, exude a strong appeal filled with cultural charm.

He would wait until he reached the Immortal World to see what kind of treasure it was.

"Huff"

Chen Qiu took a deep breath, started circulating his cultivation technique, and gradually entered a meditative state.

Standing by his side, Xiong Gao was the first to inspect the remaining spirit stones in the spirit gathering formation and then stood respectfully, awaiting orders. Looking at the empty Celestial Palace, a slight smile appeared on his lips. He had enjoyed the celebration banquet earlier, and while no one liked sycophants, everyone appreciated flattery.

He had a clear understanding of his role.

He was a sycophant.

Just as no one liked sycophants, but no one disliked a sycophant who always thought of them. He had only one principle in his actions: to always put the master at the core. In this way, he would never make a mistake.

Even if he did something wrong, it wouldn't be considered a mistake in the master's eyes, as long as his attitude was correct. And if there were any mistakes, the master had his own ways to handle them.

At this moment—

A Heavenly Dao Edict suddenly resounded throughout the vast continent.

"Heavenly Dao Edict: The Heavenly Dao has sensed that all twelve throne positions in the vast continent have been officially decided!"

Starting now, the provincial shackles will be lifted, and the Sole Emperor Contest will officially commence!

"..."

Chen Qiu, who had just closed his eyes to begin his cultivation, suddenly opened them wide upon hearing the Heavenly Dao Edict. His eyes gleamed with anticipation, and he smiled expectantly.

Finally, the contest for the Sole Emperor was about to begin. It was time to let the 'Kings' of other provinces experience the allure of the ninety-layer Body Fusion Killing Technique.

Standing by his side, Xiong Gao respectfully congratulated him, "Congratulations in advance, Master, on your triumphant return and slaughtering all!"

However, immediately after, another Heavenly Dao Edict resounded.

"Heavenly Dao Edict: The Heavenly Dao has sensed that the Master of the Mock Heaven Sect, the Heavenly Dao Sage, the Heavenly Dao Villain, the Human Race Guardian Deity, the Peerless Talent, the Mystic Heaven King, Chen Qiu, has successfully obtained the title of 'Sole Emperor'!

He is the Peerless Talent who acquired the title of 'Sole Emperor' in the fastest time among all rank-level continent throne competitions!

The fastest to obtain the title of 'Sole Emperor' will be known as the Heavenly King, and this title will be updated in real-time.

He is specially granted the title of 'Heavenly King', along with a thread of Kill Move's Fortune and a thread of Celestial Talent's Fortune. The common people need not follow this as a rule, but they can quietly observe!

"..."

Chen Qiu, who had just stood up, his face filled with anticipation, ready to slaughter his enemies and witness the power of his Body Fusion Killing Technique, heard the sound again, and his smile gradually froze on his face, followed by a long silence.

He hadn't done anything, so how did he suddenly become the Sole Emperor?

What about the fierce competition they promised?

What about the bloodshed and brutality?

He really wanted to find someone to fight right now. He really wanted to test the power of his ninety-layer Body Fusion Killing Technique. Was there no one bold enough to challenge him so he could practice?

Unfortunately.

A moment later, Chen Qiu sighed helplessly. As expected, he would probably have to go to the Heaven-reaching Continent to find a fight, as without the Sole Emperor contest to force confrontations, there probably wouldn't be anyone in the entire vast continent who would dare to challenge him.

It seemed that he could only wait until he reached the Heaven-reaching Continent to test the specific power of the ninety-layer Body Fusion Killing Technique. Until then, he probably wouldn't have the chance to be injured.

Damn it, how audacious.
