Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 337: Chapter 159: I Refused It_3

“If you were at the Void Refining Stage, you could have easily slaughtered Yu Changming, that old good-for-nothing, and not even the present Minor Clarity Void Venerable One would dare to utter a word of objection.”

“If you possessed the power of the Tao Harmony Stage, with a single command you could lead the heavenly armies of Conquering the Sky and Vanquishing the Difficult, topple the mountains and demolish the temples, flattening the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens.”

“But you’re only at the Spirit Refining Stage, merely one of the princes of Great Yin. Until you possess sufficient strength, you have no right to meddle in these matters.”

Ji Zhaoyang remained silent.

Inside the attic, Yu Changming and Mo Zhenhai, who had been watching Pingxi King closely, exchanged glances and slowly withdrew their guard.

They weren’t interested in how Pingxi King educated his junior; all they needed to ensure was that Pingxi King and Ji Zhaoyang wouldn’t interfere.

In front of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, Shen Yuan, who a moment ago had been the recipient of cheers from thousands, became the target of scorn due to a few brief words from Yu Ke.

However, as a direct witness to everything, Shen Yuan’s face showed no change in expression.

He simply smiled as he watched Yu Ke, as if enjoying a poorly performed play.

“You say I set you up, snatched your opportunity, and that’s how I passed the Earth Gate Trial.”

“These are just your own claims. What evidence do you have to support your words?”

Shen Yuan, who had been observing for a long time, cooperated and questioned Yu Ke accordingly.

A contemptuous sneer almost imperceptible on his face, Yu Ke spoke with resounding clarity:

“Your despicable actions were discovered, and thus you were rejected by the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, unable to become the immortal artifact master. This is the proof from the most precious immortal tool itself!”

Upper Realm Immortals had long taken the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda into their possession, not allowing any lower being to touch it, so Shen Yuan not becoming the immortal artifact master was fully expected.

But other cultivators didn’t know this, and as a cultivator undergoing trials, Shen Yuan was in no position to spread the news of the Upper Realm Immortals’ schemes, for that would surely invite their wrath.

Under such circumstances, Shen Yuan couldn’t reveal the true reason for not becoming the immortal artifact master, and even with a hundred explanations, he couldn’t refute Yu Ke’s argument.

It was only a matter of slight verbal incitement to provoke Shen Yuan into a rage and retaliate, and then asking Yu Changming to capture and interrogate Shen Yuan would be completely reasonable.

This wouldn’t leave an impression of power abuse and would also minimize the adverse influence—the plan was flawless.

Just as Yu Ke was preparing to revel in Shen Yuan’s impotent fury, he saw Shen Yuan looking back at him with a strange expression.

“What exactly gave you the illusion that the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda had rejected me?”

As his words ended, a myriad of radiant lights blossomed from the Nifty Pagoda, and rich Immortal Spirit Qi descended from the Celestial Vault, enveloping Shen Yuan.

On the crushed earth, exotic flowers and herbs bloomed, and the shattered ley lines began to revive under the stimulation of the Immortal Spirit Qi. Even from dozens of miles away, one could feel the wash of dense Immortal Spirit Qi.

Shen Yuan stood in the midst of the Immortal Spirit Qi, only needing to take one step forward to bathe within it and complete the Immortal’s Spirit Qi Baptism, becoming the chosen master of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.

However, Shen Yuan simply took a slow step backward.

With that one step, the thousands of Immortal Spirit Qi dispersed like mist into the ether, and all miraculous phenomena returned to tranquility.

Shen Yuan looked at the dumbfounded Yu Ke and responded calmly:

“I rejected it, nothing more.”
