Chapter 1083: Heavenly Emperor Lin’s Background

Jikong Wudi told the venerable: “No matter what happens or what price we have to pay, we have to eliminate Li Qiye.”

This decision had been cemented in his mind. He would pay any price to destroy Li Qiye.

The war for the throne had always been merciless. Even though many of these past compet.i.tions were between Emperor Candidates and people said that only those who dared to face their most powerful enemies and overcome them would become emperor, this was not always the case. In fact, for millions of years, there had always been conspiracies and schemes beneath the surface of these wars. Behind these candidates were an abundance of followers and mighty dao protectors.

A lot of brilliant geniuses died pitifully to schemes, ambushes, and a.s.sa.s.sinations. Only by surviving this cruel war would one become the Immortal Emperor.

More often than not, these despicable means were looked down upon. However, Jikong Wudi couldn’t care less about it at this point. In his eyes, after he became the Immortal Emperor, the public would stop caring about it later on! Who would actually dare to bring it up at that point?

“Li Qiye… I really can’t see through you, just how powerful are you, really?” After hearing this news, Lin commented while h.e.l.lishly training with Zhan s.h.i.+.

“Far beyond our imagination.” Zhan s.h.i.+ spoke.

Zhan s.h.i.+ had entered the Heavenly Dao Academy before. Back then, he was a student of the Sacred Era Hall. Although he was not friends with Li Qiye then, he knew full well of his deeds.

Lin movingly spoke: “I think my senior brother will meet a powerful opponent in this generation. If he isn’t careful, I’m afraid he will have to run after suffering defeat.”

“It seems like Brother Lin is very open-minded.” Zhan s.h.i.+ told Lin.

“We are having a heart-to-heart talk, there’s no need to hide anything.” Lin said: “Brother Zhan, you know my background. Just like you said, I don’t mind letting everything go even at this point, it’s not worth mentioning at all.”

Zhan s.h.i.+ looked at the young man and spoke: “Brother Lin is willing to give up the battle for the Heaven’s Will just like that? Immortal Emperor is something everyone will want as long as they have some ambition in them.”

“The truth is that I have never thought about competing for the Heaven’s Will or becoming the emperor. This opportunity is not being prepared for me, it is meant for my senior brother.” Lin smilingly said.

“I am not someone who underestimates myself and I see that you are the same way.” Zhan s.h.i.+ said: “No matter how powerful your senior brother might be, in my opinion, Brother Lin still has a chance to compete.”

“No, there is a big gap between us.” Lin gently shook his head: “At the very least, right now, I have no way of surpa.s.sing him.”

Zhan s.h.i.+ disagreed by shaking his head: “I don’t think so. More often than not, the dao heart is more important than talents when it comes to becoming an emperor. Of course, talents are indispensable, but the dao heart is even more crucial. Without a firm dao heart, even the most brilliant talents would only be for show. For ages now, countless great geniuses with weak dao hearts couldn’t handle defeat and eventually succ.u.mbed to their own inner demon.”

“Only by courageously treading forward without caring for trials and hards.h.i.+p would one be able to become the emperor.” Zhan s.h.i.+’s eyes turned profound as his determination became even more resolute.

He looked at Lin and said: “In terms of talents, skills, and dao heart, Brother Lin does not lack any of these. You meet the conditions and have the qualifications to compete for the Heaven’s Will.”

“The sect chose my senior brother, not me.” Lin shook his head: “I will not be the one standing in my sect and my senior brother’s way.”

Zhan s.h.i.+ did not agree: “In my opinion, Brother Lin is not a person who is overly adherent to old ideas, so why do you have such thoughts? Your fate should be up to you alone!”

“I am already very satisfied.” Lin smiled: “Everything I have today was given to me by my sect. If it values my senior brother, I will let him pa.s.s and hope that he will not let us down, that he will become the emperor.”

Zhan s.h.i.+ went on: “If you no longer want to become the emperor, why do you still want to fight Li Qiye? You should quit this game, this path is paved with cruelty.”

“This is my attempt to lend the sect a hand by exploring Li Qiye’s true worth so that my senior brother can have a better chance.” Lin smiled: “Plus, running without fighting isn’t my style! I want to have a real battle against Li Qiye, not losing after one or two moves! I can’t accept such a defeat!”

“I can’t accept it either.” Zhan s.h.i.+ didn’t wish to dwell on this matter and smiled back: “Who can accept losing to Li Qiye without even knowing what happened? No matter what, we have to see what he is really about! Even if we lose, we have to understand the process at the very least!”

“That’s right, let us work together and give him a good fight.” Lin laughed out loud in a gallant manner.

Zhan s.h.i.+ laughed loudly as well: “If we can defeat Li Qiye, then let the two of us compete for the Heaven’s Will in the future!”

“If such a day comes, then I shall compete as well.” Lin accepted happily the idea. These words were erring on the playful side.
