After dismissing the Fire Clan members, Lin Heng returned to the main hall with his Evil Avatar.
Lin Heng sat in the highest seat, while the Evil Avatar casually found a place to sit below, leaning lazily against the chair. This sight made Lin Heng frown slightly.
"It seems you harbor deep resentment towards me this time you've returned, even..."
"A sliver of murderous intent stirred within you."
At one point, the Evil Avatar turned its head to look at Lin Heng, and asked with a smile on its lips.
"Since you sensed it, isn't there anything you want to say to me?"
Lin Heng was waiting for the Evil Avatar to take the initiative.
Unexpectedly, the Evil Avatar shrugged. "I don't feel like I did anything wrong. Although we are one, we pursue different paths. You are advancing along your path, while I am merely cultivating along mine."
Lin Heng fell silent, sensing a hint of resentment in the Evil Avatar's words.
How to put it? It's like the feeling of being widowed for years after getting married, with the husband leaving right after the wedding.
Thinking about it carefully, Good and Evil Doppelgangers, it seems that I really didn't learn much about them before abandoning them and going to the dimensional portal.
Could it be because of this?
But other people's clones are all free-range, allowed to roam freely, and only come back when I need them. I've never seen other people's clones complain.
"Hehe!"
"He cultivates the Dao of Freedom, but he resents you for trapping him in the Eighth Heaven."
Just then, Lin Heng's Good Avatar suddenly walked in from outside the main hall.
After Lin Heng returned, Situ Jiannan also went to the Time Treasure to inform Good Avatar.
Situ Jiannan was naturally not afraid that the Evil Avatar would harm Lin Heng.
After all, no matter how strong your clone is, the main body can easily annihilate you with a single thought.
This is an imprint from the soul, which cannot be changed even if you reach a level beyond the Nine Heavens.
The reason Situ Jiannan did this was because he discovered that the Evil Avatar would often seek out the Good Avatar within the Time Treasure.
Perhaps their conversation would have been better with Lin Heng's Good Avatar.
After entering the main hall, the Good Avatar found a seat opposite the Evil Avatar and sat down.
Lin Heng remained silent, simply watching quietly.
After taking his seat, Good Avatar looked at Lin Heng and spoke again, "If I were to say that he has been trying his best to restrain his nature, otherwise, the Eighth Heaven would probably be a place where corpses float for 30,000 miles by now."
Lin Heng had no doubt about what Good Avatar said.
Lin Heng began to recall the words Good Avatar had spoken before entering the main hall.
The Dao of Freedom cultivated?
The path of Tao is mysterious and profound.
Although there are three thousand great paths, they all lead to the same destination.
However, the different paths one takes have a great influence on a cultivator's growth, personality, and future potential.
The Dao of Freedom is, in essence, a profound Way.
But this is also an extremely terrifying path.
A carefree and unfettered heart makes it difficult to define good and evil.
Those who cultivate the path of Dao of Freedom never distinguish between good and evil in their actions; they act solely according to their own feelings and desires.
You might have seen him helping an elderly woman cross the street today.
But tomorrow he might transform into a demon and slaughter everyone in the city.
If one's own Evil Avatar is truly Dao of Freedom, that is not a good thing.
If you try to control him, it will affect his cultivation, and this effect may even limit his future breakthroughs.
But if you don't do anything about him...
Lin Heng recalled the stories about the Evil Avatar that he had heard from Situ Jiannan over the past few years, and they were truly a headache.
The current situation makes it difficult for Lin Heng to make a decision.
The information reported by Situ Jiannan was, of course, true.
However, from the words of the Good Avatar, it is learned that the Evil Avatar is already trying its best to restrain itself.
Tell me what punishment to give!
It seems pretty useless.
How about we punish them?
They also feared encouraging the Evil Avatar.
Just as Lin Heng was having a headache and was in a dilemma, Good Avatar smiled and said, "I'm actually more than enough to take care of things inside the pavilion. Why not let him go upstairs and have a look around?"
The "above" in the context of the Good Avatar" naturally refers to the Eighth Heaven and above.
Surprisingly, this suggestion seems pretty good.
The Battle Heaven Pavilion must eventually move forward, and if it weren't for the delay caused by the ancient ruins, Lin Heng should have started preparing for his journey to the Seventh Heaven upon his return.
If the Evil Avatar gets there first, hehehe!
With his abilities, he could definitely subdue all those sects in the Seventh Heaven.
When Battle Heaven Pavilion reaches the Seventh Heaven, will it be like when they first arrived at the Eighth Heaven, with a bunch of people coming to cause trouble?
However, this also presents a problem.
They act Evil Avatar, without much consideration for whether the target is friend or foe.
Whether it's the Eight Great Imperial Clans or Ascenders, if they don't like him, they'll fight him.
The problem is, you have no problem dealing with the Eight Great Imperial Clans.
Qin Hongmian and the others had given him a hint about this, which conveniently prompted Lin Heng to deliberately cause trouble.
But if you keep bothering the Ascenders, you'll end up hurting both sides.
At this moment, the Good Avatar sensed Lin Heng's inner turmoil and once again helped him resolve his troubles.
"The matter of the Evil Avatar must have been told to you by Situ Jiannan."
"But of all the things he told you, how many of the Evil Avatar were directed at Ascenders?"
With Good Avatar's reminder, Lin Heng thought back carefully.
Of all the things the Evil Avatar did, very few were directed at Ascenders.
Seeing Lin Heng's expression soften, the Good Avatar continued, "Your worries are unavoidable, but similarly, given the Evil Avatar's personality, those who will likely provoke him are mostly from the Eight Great Imperial Clans."
This is not difficult to understand.
The Eight Great Imperial Clans consider themselves the native inhabitants of the Nine Heavens, and because of the glory of the Battle to Seize Heaven, they regard themselves as the guardians of the Nine Heavens.
Furthermore, their ancestors controlled the eight Power of Origin most important to the operation of the universe.
Over the years, the descendants of the Eight Great Imperial Clans have regarded themselves as gods of the Nine Heavens, and have always acted superior to people from other sects.
It is precisely this mentality that makes them most likely to clash with Evil Avatar.
On the other hand, the same thing rarely happens to those Ascenders.
After receiving a reminder from the Good Avatar, Lin Heng turned his gaze to the Evil Avatar and then recounted how Qin Hongmian had instructed him to deliberately provoke the Eight Great Imperial Clans during a meeting of the five Ascenders in the First Heaven a few days ago.
Upon hearing this, the Evil Avatar slightly protruded its tongue, curled it around its lips, and revealed an excited expression.
"Cough cough!"
Lin Heng immediately felt a headache coming on. He coughed twice and warned, "I told you to go looking for trouble, not to uproot the sects of the Eight Great Imperial Clans in each of the heavens."
Lin Heng couldn't even imagine what would happen if the Evil Avatar truly swept through the Seventh Heaven and Sixth Heaven —places he had the power to conquer—and wiped out all the sects of the Eight Great Imperial Clans...
It's likely that the patriarchs of the Eight Great Imperial Clans will bring all the powerful members of their clans to the Battle Heaven Pavilion the next day.
By then, if Ao Zhantian and his forces were to mobilize, the Eight Great Imperial Clans would rather fight a major battle than fail to eliminate Battle Heaven Pavilion.
"I just like to have some fun."
"I have no interest in going to my death."
Fortunately, the Evil Avatar gave Lin Heng a relatively satisfactory answer.
