Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being (201-400)

253- Fourth Placings

Yan Tianhen was certain that if it was Lin Zhan, he would never choose to abandon him.

But…that Ghost Masked Man, who saw through his real identity from a glance and wanted to take him on as a disciple, was he really someone his biological dad had sent over to help?

If so, then why didn’t he tell Yan Tianhen the truth and always avoided him?

If not, then why teach him those cultivation techniques suitable for him, and even secretly help him?

After thinking about it, Yan Tianhen nodded. “If I have a chance to see Ghost Masked Man next time, I’ll ask him.”

Feng Jingyu’s eyes twinkled as he took note of the address “Ghost Masked Man” in his heart.

In Lin Xuanzhi’s room.

“To think that that kid’s identity is actually a successor to the Qianyuan dynasty.” Soul Bead sighed, “I should have guessed this when I heard that his surname was Yan, but I didn’t think that he, someone living in the Five Continents, would have something to do with the Nine Lands.”

Lin Xuanzhi was also restless. He drank three cups of cold tea in a row and barely managed to calm himself.

The constant influx of news made even an old soul like him, who had lived for a thousand years, feel somewhat surprised and a little unable to bear it, but even so, Lin Xuanzhi’s brain wasn’t muddled either.

“Yan is not a common surname.” Lin Xuanzhi noted.

“No kidding. In the Nine Lands, there is only one family with the surname of Yan. But it’s also nothing much; the Yan family isn’t the only royal family to reach the top of an era.”

Soul Bead tilted its head as he continued, “When I was alive, the royal family sitting on the throne of the Qianyuan dynasty was the Xuan family. However, the Xuan family suffered disastrous losses during the ancient Great Immortal-Demon War. The Xuan family’s most powerful prince at that time sacrificed himself to activate the array that sealed the Devil Emperor, his soul dissipating into nothingness. Thus, the Xuan family lost the throne after that. As for the events that happened afterward, I’m not clear on those.”

Lin Xuanzhi asked vaguely, “Can descendants of Divine Devils become the monarch who rules over the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital?”

Soul Bead replied after a long silence, “There is no precedent because the Nine Celestial Families and the Divine Devil clan have always been mortal enemies; it would already be a miracle if the two sides didn’t start fighting when they met each other. How could such enemies easily link together and give birth to descendants? Your Didi’s bloodline is probably the first in ten thousand years.”

If there was no precedent, then things would be troublesome.

But, in other words, since those eccentric fellows from the family of prophets gave Yan Tianhen a legitimate successor ranking, that meant that he was still a successor recognized by the Dao of Heaven.

Soul Bead leisurely said, rejoicing in others’ misfortunes, “Interesting, this is really interesting. Benzun really wants to see with my own eyes what kind of expression those successors would make when they find out they’ll have to be on equal footing with a half-devil heir. Thinking about it, it must be a — very enjoyable sight.”

It would be even more interesting if Yan Tianhen really did slaughter his way back to the Royal Heavenly Capital in the future to fight for the throne.

Soul Bead thought about it and felt that this was much more interesting than his era.

Soul Bead laughed for a while, overjoyed, then heard Lin Xuanzhi’s calm voice, “Besides fighting for the throne, is there any other path?”
