C865 In My Own Way
Lin Cheng had no idea what the devil's motive was. It was precisely because of this that the devil had become a disaster that would befall him at any time.
As for what the devil said about it not being an enemy of the Nine-prefecture Continent's Cultivation Realm, it also belonged to the Nine-prefecture Continent. Even if Lin Cheng was willing to believe it, there were still many secret realms in that secret realm. Those supreme heroic souls that had died a long time ago would immediately wake him up. He understood how ridiculous the words of the devil were.
But now, he, Zhu Ziqiao, and the billions of living beings in Dongzhou were facing the threat of such ridiculous words, but their combat strength was so powerful that it made one's scalp go numb!
Therefore, Lin Cheng had always wanted to go to Boundless Forest to find out what the Great Devil was doing.
Apart from these speculations, there were also some other ways that the devil did not understand. Regarding the war in Ancient Times, as well as the origin of the devil and so on... He knew too little about it, although he had heard some information about the origin of the Great Devil from Spirit Rhinoceros King back in Tianluo Secret Realm. However, he didn't know about it personally, nor did he have the chance to do so. Thus, he couldn't be completely sure about it.
Although Spirit Rhinoceros King had experienced that era and that great battle, he was merely an ordinary little Demonic Beast at that time. He was unable to figure out what exactly had happened at that time.
This was similar to the ordinary cultivator that they had seen. Perhaps, in their opinion... They had also noticed the great war between Lin Cheng and those powerful beings. Many years later, they would be able to say that they had experienced it themselves. However, why would Lin Cheng fight those almighty experts? Why would those powerful beings suddenly attack Lin Cheng during this period of time?
These things were not known by those ordinary cultivators or rogue cultivators. Therefore, it was very likely that the Spirit Rhinoceros King in Ancient Times was the same as those rogue cultivators. He didn't know much about the war.
Therefore, the information about the war in Ancient Times that he obtained from it was very one-sided. If he wanted to know more about it, he would have to investigate further.
However, there was one thing that he was certain about, whether it was in Ancient Times or now. That Great Devil was the greatest enemy of Cultivation Realm of Dongzhou and even the billions of living beings. The existence of this Great Devil. It could threaten the lives of billions of living beings in Dongzhou at any time.
This included the Longevity Sect, Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao.
"I am not that great, nor do I have the ability to do so. Everything I have done is to protect myself."
Lin Cheng said, "However, the way I seek to protect myself is different from those sects. In order to protect myself, they only care about themselves and only look at the scene before them. As for whether they will be threatened in the future, or whether they will be threatened after the Great Devil recovers... What would happen? It wasn't that they hadn't thought of it. They just didn't want to do it. They were even more unwilling to fight to the death to help others and help the other sects.
I don't want to protect myself. I don't want to be like those other sects who only want my own safety. In fact, I only want my own safety right now, and I don't care about the future. I want to protect myself, and I want to eliminate all threats and dangers. I want to ensure that the danger doesn't exist. Only then will I be able to protect myself.
Actually, if it's possible, I don't want to take the risk. After all, he was a great devil, even if he had been suppressed in the Devil-suppressing Cliff for a long period of time. However, since it was able to escape, that means... It already possesses tremendous power, and I am only a mighty being now. Perhaps I can't even get away from that demon.
However, the situation forced us to do this, and we had to take the risk. "
In fact, if it was possible, Lin Cheng wouldn't want to fight against a devil. Even if it was a devil that had been suppressed for a long time, it was still extremely terrifying.
Especially Lin Cheng, who had fought with an Evil Devil before, he could feel the power of the Evil Devil.
The evil devil in Tianluo Secret Realm was merely a remnant of the will of a great devil. What he relied on was merely a finger bone of a great devil in Ancient Times. Even so, it still possessed an extremely powerful might.
Of course, that was because Lin Cheng was only a Divine Ability Stage at that time. He wasn't even a half-step major power. Spirit Rhinoceros King had once said: If you want to kill that beast, you can do so at any time. At that time, Lin Cheng would feel a little shocked when he heard that, but now that he had become a mighty figure... When he recalled the strength of that devil, he knew that Spirit Rhinoceros King wasn't lying. It was true that a mighty figure could kill a wisp of the devil's remnant will. Furthermore, it didn't require too much effort.
However, what the Cultivation Realm of Dongzhou was facing right now wasn't a fragment of the remnant will or a finger bone. It was a living devil!
Even if the devil's cultivation base had fallen and it was no longer a devil, but an ordinary devil, its power was still enough to suppress the entire Cultivation Realm of Dongzhou.
If it was possible, Lin Cheng naturally wouldn't want to face such a powerful enemy. He was even willing to stay as far away from it as possible. If that devil was still in Devil-suppressing Cliff, Lin Cheng would never take the initiative to provoke such a powerful enemy for the rest of his life. He wasn't that arrogant.
However, the truth wasn't changed by his will. That devil had already escaped from Devil-suppressing Cliff. Moreover, it had already occupied Boundless Forest. This was the reality that Cultivation Realm of Dongzhou, Lin Cheng, Zhu Ziqiao and the others had no choice but to face.
They had to face that devil, and they had no other choice!
Since they couldn't escape, Lin Cheng didn't have the habit of hiding anymore. Whether it was when he was being hunted or when he was threatened by that devil, his personality had always been like this.
If he was like those other sects who only cared about the present, he would only ask for a moment of peace. However, when that devil gradually recovered, what awaited them would be... It would be an even greater threat, and there would come a day when they would be unable to retreat... There would also be no place for them to retreat. When that time came... There would only be death.
Unless, they were willing to become the subordinates of that great devil, and that would depend on whether that great devil was willing to accept cultivator as his subordinate, or even... as a slave!
Lin Cheng was unwilling to become a slave in the future, and he was even more unwilling to miss this opportunity. He could only watch helplessly as that devil continued to recover and grow stronger. Therefore, he had to resist.
No matter what those sects did, no matter if they were willing to live on, live on, be slaves, or be at the mercy of others, at least Lin Cheng was unwilling.
"But, with just the two of us and the Longevity Sect's lack of resources, will we be a match for that devil?" Zhu Ziqiao frowned. This wasn't because she was too pessimistic, but because it was the truth.0
They all knew how strong that devil was.
In fact, why didn't those sects and powerful people suppress that devil but only cared about themselves?
Of course, this was because they were afraid of death.
However, this also showed how powerful that great demon was. It was precisely because that great demon was too powerful. That was why those people were afraid. That was why they were afraid of death. If they were facing an ordinary devil... Those sects had never been afraid of anything, including the Formless Immortal Sect of Southern Domain. Normally, they would pay close attention to the whereabouts of the devils in various places and even the provinces.
But now, those sects were afraid because the devil was too strong.
Under such circumstances, how could they be a match for the devil if she and Lin Cheng were the only two of them?
"Even if they aren't a match for the devil, that's the only way. Because we have no other choice! "
Lin Cheng said with a smile, "Besides, if that devil wasn't powerful enough, things wouldn't have reached this stage."
He spoke in a carefree manner without any hesitation.
"Then what do you plan to do?" Zhu Ziqiao asked, "You want to first pass down the things that we know, then go and fight with that big devil?"
"Whether or not I want to fight to the death, it is hard to say for the time being. At least there is one thing I want to do before that."
Lin Cheng said, "What we need to do now is to cultivate Green Snake into an alchemist. Even if we can't refine the Nine-revolution Divine Pill, we must at least be able to step onto this path. As for the rest, I will slowly tell you in the future!"
Before going all out with the devil, he still had a lot of things to do.
Just like what Zhu Ziqiao said, he wanted to take what he knew. He wanted to pass down the inheritance, but this inheritance was not casually passed down. That devil would not recover so quickly either. At least in the eyes of those sects and major powers, it would not be so fast. Therefore, Lin Cheng still had time to choose his disciples, or even...
Zhu Ziqiao saw his eyes and couldn't help but be startled. Immediately, her face flushed red.
Lin Cheng laughed, "Little girl, perhaps when our child is born, you can help us pass down the inheritance."
Zhu Ziqiao rolled her eyes at him and smiled without saying anything.
"It seems that Madam has been looking forward to it for a long time."
Lin Cheng laughed when he saw Zhu Ziqiao's reaction. But in the next moment, he kicked Zhu Ziqiao away.
"This guy!"
Zhu Ziqiao was embarrassed and angry. Even though she had become a powerful person, she was still shy when it came to children. However, she was looking forward to it in her heart.
She and Lin Cheng were already powerful people. Then what would their children be like?
She thought that it must be because they had extraordinary talent. Their personalities could also be as tough as Lin Cheng's, or like her?
"Young master, what, what did you say?"
Green Snake almost couldn't believe his ears. What did young master say just now? To let her learn alchemy? Moreover, in the end, he still had to refine Nine-revolution Divine Pill?
How could this...
"You didn't hear wrongly!"
Seeing Green Snake's shocked expression, Lin Cheng could not help but smile and say, "Green Snake, although the Nine-revolution Divine Pill's effect is extraordinary, it is still a type of pill after all. It is impossible for me to spend all my time refining the Nine-revolution Divine Pill. You are the most suitable."
Lin Cheng naturally did not choose Green Snake out of impulse. It was not only because of Green Snake's loyalty, but also because in many aspects, Green Snake was the most suitable inheritor.
