Their experience in combat was worlds apart. Lu Xiaotian had fought Golden Immortal–level experts before. Even if he had used other means before the Green Fruit Barrier was sealed, whatever the circumstances, he had crossed swords with a Golden Immortal–level expert. That experience gave him an innate psychological advantage when fighting Qin Tong.
"You two seniors have come together. It seems the matter you want to entrust to me is no small one. I'm only at the Heavenly Immortal realm, after all. I'm afraid I may not be able to satisfy you."
Lu Xiaotian had barely made it back safely from the Law Mirror Immortal Tree. For now, all he wanted was to cross the Xuanyong Battlefield and reach the other side. Once there, he would no longer need to deliberately suppress his steadily rising strength and could pursue the realm of Golden Immortal–level experts with all his might.
It was easy to foresee that whatever the two old monsters, Great Emperor Qinling and Rahu, had come together to entrust to him would hardly be simple. The thought brought Lu Xiaotian a pang of worry.
"Little Friend Dongfang, you're too modest. You would soon make a name for yourself with your strength, not only on this side of the Xuanyong Battlefield but even on the other side. Besides, the matter we want to entrust to you is inside the Xuanyong Battlefield. Old fellows like us can't very well linger there for long. Given your strength, you're the most suitable candidate."
The puppet stone figure inhabited by Great Emperor Qinling smiled. Its face looked no different from an ordinary person's. Lu Xiaotian had seen the Great Emperor possess puppets several times, and they seemed to change a little each time.
"What do you want me to do?" Lu Xiaotian sighed inwardly.
