123: Chapter 123: Zhao Tiedan’s Destiny!
After accepting the task from White Sheep City, Lin Bai returned to his residence, planning to arrange things for Tiedan before setting off.
Lin Bai was going to leave the Spirit Sword Sect and go for an adventure.
What he feared most was the Divine Alliance causing trouble for Tiedan during his absence!
As he walked to the courtyard, Lin Bai saw Tiedan practicing boxing in the yard.
His boxing strength was impressive, creating gusty winds with each punch.
With the final punch, Tiedan hit a large rock, pulverizing it instantly.
Witnessing this scene, Lin Bai was shocked.
Zhao Tiedan had previously had his Dantian damaged by Qi Shaolong, leaving him without any True Qi.
How could he smash a large rock?
Lin Bai exclaimed silently in his heart.
Stepping inside, Tiedan saw Lin Bai return, immediately controlled his momentum, and said with a naive smile, “Brother Lin Bai, you’re back.”
“Tiedan, are you a body cultivator?” Lin Bai curiously asked.
“Umm, I have never done body cultivation, but after my Dantian was damaged, I still feel powerful.” Tiedan said gently with a faint smile.
Lin Bai grabbed Tiedan’s wrist, channeling his True Qi into Tiedan’s body and scanning him from top to bottom.
This examination shocked Lin Bai.
Although Tiedan had no True Qi, the power emitted from his muscles was almost equal to that of a warrior at the True Martial Realm Third Level.
“He’s actually this strong.”
Lin Bai was pleasantly surprised.
Suddenly, Lin Bai remembered his promise to the War God Old Man to select a suitable heir for the War God Palace.
If Tiedan obtained the legacy now, that would no doubt bestow great fortune upon him!
I am taking you on a trip.” Lin Bai said with a smile.
“Where are we going?” Tiedan curiously asked.
I will provide you a great fortune that will enable you to traverse the world without True Qi!” Lin Bai said with a smile.
Brother Lin Bai.” Tiedan asked excitedly.
He had been quite dejected since he lost his Dantian until he discovered the strength of his body giving him some comfort and lessening his despair.
We’re leaving tonight.”
Lin Bai said with a smile.
Tiedan quickly ran inside, packed a few clothes into his storage bag, and then promptly left the Spirit Sword Sect with Lin Bai.
Leaving the Spirit Sword Sect, Lin Bai claimed two horses and headed straight for Flying Dragon City.
Seven days later, they arrived at the cliff where Lin Bai had previously fallen.
“Brother Lin Bai, why have you brought me to this deserted place?” Tiedan asked, confused while looking around.
How could such a desolate, bird forsaken place hold such big fortune?
“Don’t worry, we’re almost there.”
Lin Bai, walking along the bottom of the cliff, retrieved the War God Stele he had hidden.
Arriving at the War God Stele, Lin Bai patted the stele, shouting, “Senior, I’ve brought a great body cultivator for you.”
Just as Lin Bai finished shouting, a soft light brushed over Lin Bai’s and Tiedan’s bodies.
The scene changed, and Lin Bai was in the cave inside the stele again.
“Young man, you’ve arrived quite quickly.” The War God Old Man looked at Lin Bai and cracked a slight smile.
“I dare not delay the things I have promised to Senior.” Lin Bai responded with a smile.
“Brother Lin Bai, who is this?” Tiedan, seeing the translucent War God Old Man floating in mid-air similarly to a “ghost” from folk stories, was scared pale and leaned closer to Lin Bai.
Lin Bai pulled Tiedan forward and said to the War God Old Man, “Senior, do you think he is suitable?”
Lin Bai looked hopefully at the War God Old Man.
If the War God Old Man agreed, Tiedan would be able to receive the legacy of the War God’s Palace, the legacy that countless warriors dream of.
The War God Old Man looked at Tiedan, his eyes slightly squinted, emitting an intimidating glow.
This caused Tiedan to shudder, his face showing fear.
“Senior, this is my good brother.
I needn’t say more about his character.
He embodies both chivalry and righteousness.
If he joins the War God Palace, he will certainly not tarnish our name.”
“He has never practiced any body training techniques, but a while ago, his cultivation was destroyed and his Dantian shattered.
However, he became unusually strong, with his physical strength alone sufficient to defeat a warrior at the True Martial Realm Third Level!”
Lin Bai explained the shining points about Zhao Tiedan to the War God Old Man.
“Never practiced body cultivation techniques and yet he can defeat a True Martial Realm Third Level warrior through sheer physical strength?
This is interesting.”
The War God Old Man initially did not think highly of Zhao Tiedan, even feeling that Lin Bai was trying to swindle him with a random person.
But when he heard that Zhao Tiedan, even after his cultivation was destroyed, could defeat a True Martial Realm Third Level warrior with his physical strength alone, the War God Old Man became interested.
Let me take a good look at you.”
The War God Old Man chuckled at Zhao Tiedan.
“Ah, I’m not going there.
You are a ghost, I definitely won’t go.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tiedan turned pale with fright, shaking his head vehemently, staunchly refusing to approach.
“Even if you won’t come, you must!”
The War God Old Man reached out and, with a strong pull, dragged Zhao Tiedan to him, his palm slamming violently onto the top of Zhao Tiedan’s head.
Lin Bai watched the War God Old Man intently, knowing that if he agreed, then the legacy of the War God Palace would fall into Zhao Tiedan’s hands!
In an instant, the War God Old Man’s eyes widened in shock!
“Senior, how is it?” Lin Bai asked impatiently.
“It’s actually the Ancient War God Body!”
The War God Old Man roared excitedly; his face was beaming with joy, as if it were his own wedding night.
The next moment, the War God Old Man looked at Zhao Tiedan, his eyes gleaming with avarice as if he were beholding a rare treasure.
Seeing the War God Old Man in such a state, Lin Bai breathed a sigh of relief— it appeared that the War God Old Man had recognized Zhao Tiedan.
“Senior, what is the Ancient War God Body?
And can such a constitution accept the legacy of the War God Palace?”
Lin Bai quickly followed up with another question.
“Lin Bai, boy, I don’t mean to discourage you, but your achievements won’t amount to even a tenth of what the Ancient War God Body is capable of!”
“The Ancient War God Body, born to be a king, once manifested in the world, is destined to conquer myriad realms, ruling Under Heaven with unmatched might, obliterating everything beneath its feet, and making creatures of all heavens tremble at its hand!”
The War God Old Man excitedly explained, “The Ancient War God Body, alongside the Devil Path’s Immortal Body of Tribulations and the Beast Path’s Dragon Elephant Devouring Heaven Body, are referred to as the three strongest constitutions since time immemorial.
The existence of just one of these constitutions is sufficient to suppress all the heavens and myriad realms.”
“Back in the day, the first Palace Master of the War God Palace was a mythological-level genius with an Ancient War God Body!”
The War God Old Man, excited, couldn’t stop talking.
“So, you’re saying, is Zhao Tiedan suitable to receive the War God Palace’s legacy?” Lin Bai asked eagerly.
“Not just suitable— the War God Palace’s legacy was made for him!” the War God Old Man was as excited as Lin Bai: “Wait and see, this world, my War God Palace will definitely stand again at its peak!”
“Kid, whether you’re willing or not, from now on, you’re the Saint of the War God Palace.
From here on, you will shoulder the great mission of reviving the War God Palace.”
The War God Old Man said solemnly to Zhao Tiedan.
Zhao Tiedan was scared by the War God Old Man’s grave expression and stuttered out, “I don’t want to….”
“Even if you don’t wish to, you must!
Follow me to the Trial Ground; we’ll start training right now.
I will bestow upon you the complete War God Formula.”
The War God Old Man did not wait for Lin Bai’s reaction and, in one swoop, picked up Zhao Tiedan and threw him into the Trial Ground.
“Big Brother Lin Bai, save me.”
Zhao Tiedan tearfully called out to Lin Bai.
Lin Bai awkwardly touched his nose but did nothing to save Zhao Tiedan.
This was Zhao Tiedan’s fate; why should Lin Bai intervene?
“Senior, in that case, I will leave Zhao Tiedan to you.
I will take my leave now,” Lin Bai said.
I don’t have time to deal with you now,” the War God Old Man waved Lin Bai off, dismissing him from his Cave Mansion.
Once he stepped outside, Lin Bai sighed softly.
Zhao Tiedan now had a promising future; bestowing fortunes upon Zhao Tiedan was worth it for their brotherhood.
Unbeknownst to him, when Lin Bai would meet Zhao Tiedan the next time, Zhao Tiedan would already possess the power to suppress legendary geniuses.
“I should be on my way now.
I just hope I won’t fall too far behind Zhao Tiedan.”
Lin Bai then left the cliff and headed straight for White Sheep City.
