Really Not Heaven's Chosen? Defying Heaven to Change Their Fate
Ye Liang looked at Zheng Siqi, a half-smile playing on his lips:
"I heard that Junior Brother Zheng stole the show at the Yuntian Heaven's Chosen Tea Party and even used Law Treasure and Law Technique specifically designed to counter Fire Element Law Technique."
I wonder who you're targeting with this move?
And now you're being called the Eastern Desolation Prodigy by the Central Continent Plains' prodigies—that's quite an impressive title indeed."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zheng Siqi's face, but she quickly recovered and replied calmly:
"I just want to improve my strength and have more self-defense capabilities. I'm not targeting anyone. Senior Brother Ye, please don't overthink it."
As for the title of ' Eastern Desolation Prodigy,' I have never acknowledged it, so don't try to label me like that."
Lin Jing, standing to the side, quickly nodded in agreement. "Fellow Daoist Zheng is right, we have never claimed to be the pride of the Eastern Desolation."
Qian Duoduo chimed in with a smile, "They just want to improve, what's wrong with that?"
"Has Senior Brother Ye never specifically studied Law Technique to deal with others?"
Ye Liang glanced at everyone's expressions and didn't want to dwell on the matter any longer.
After all, the three of them were evenly matched, and each of them had privately studied Law Technique to counter the other, all wanting to gain the upper hand in the competition.
He cleared his throat and changed the subject. "Let's try the Spirit Cuisine at Flying Immortal Tower first; it's said to be delicious."
Seeing this, Qian Duoduo and Zheng Siqi also backed down and stopped discussing the matter.
After all, almost all system hosts knew about their grudges with Ye Liang.
Moreover, Ye Liang's title as "the most tragic saint in history" is still fresh in everyone's minds.
The atmosphere at the table eased immediately, and the four people chatted about all sorts of things while enjoying the Spirit Cuisine.
Just then, a voice rang out. "Fellow Daoist Zheng, Fellow Daoist Lin, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Everyone looked up and saw Wei Jiaming, Chen Xingci, and Wang Ruoyao coming down from upstairs and walking quickly towards them.
Zheng Siqi and Lin Jing quickly stood up and responded with smiles:
"Greetings, Fellow Daoists Wei, Chen, and Wang. It's quite a coincidence that we've met again here since we parted ways last time."
Wei Jiaming said with concern, "I haven't heard from either of you lately."
I was worried that you had fallen victim to Wang Zechuan and Li Yanzhou, but seeing you here today puts my mind at ease.
However, you should still be careful. The Demonic Flame Sect and the Evil Soul Hall have a history of bullying the weak; they are notorious even among the Devil Dao Sect.
While you're in Flying Immortal City, you'd better be wary of them plotting against you in secret.
Zheng Siqi and Lin Jing both bowed and thanked him, saying, "Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Wei. However, Wang Zechuan and Li Yanzhou will probably never have the chance to do evil again."
A hint of curiosity flashed in Wei Jiaming's eyes as he pressed for an answer:
"Oh? Did something happen to them? I haven't heard anything about it lately."
Zheng Siqi Divine Sense telepathically, "Wang Zechuan has already died and vanished. I believe you will hear the news soon."
As for Li Yanzhou, although I know a little about him, it's not convenient for me to say more.
"What? Wang Zechuan is dead?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xingci immediately exclaimed in surprise, his face filled with disbelief.
"How is this possible? With his strength, who among the younger generation could kill him?"
Could it be Wei Mo, the heir of the Immortal Blood Aristocratic Clan, or Sun Qing, the Mysterious Maiden of the Mystic Maiden Hall?
Wei Jiaming and Wang Ruoyao were equally shocked, almost unable to believe that Wang Zechuan was dead.
They still vividly remembered the formidable strength Wang Zechuan displayed at the Yuntian Heaven's Chosen Tea Party.
Looking across the entire Central Continent, there are very few who can defeat him.
Wei Jiaming calmed himself down and asked through Divine Sense, "Fellow Daoist Zheng, could you please tell me who killed Wang Zechuan?"
Zheng Siqi slowly shook his head and replied Divine Sense, "I'm sorry, I really can't disclose this matter."
I understand the saying "trouble comes from the mouth," and if I offend that person, I might lose my life.
Seeing Zheng Siqi's apprehension, Wei Jiaming knew that the person who killed Wang Zechuan was no ordinary person, so he stopped asking questions and instead extended an invitation:
"Tomorrow at 7 PM, there will be a gathering of geniuses at the Mystic Firmament Hall Immortal Spirit Lake in Flying Immortal City. Those attending will include not only geniuses from the Central Continent, but also geniuses from other regions."
Fellow Daoist Zheng and Fellow Daoist Lin, as the pride of the Eastern Desolation, you absolutely must come!
Upon hearing this, Zheng Siqi and Lin Jing glanced at Qian Duoduo and Ye Liang's ambiguous smiles and gave somewhat awkward laughs.
Zheng Siqi quickly shook his head and explained, "Fellow Daoist Wei has misunderstood. I am not a prodigy of the Eastern Desolation, but just an ordinary cultivator."
Ye Liang and Qian Duoduo beside me are the true prodigies of the Eastern Desolation.
Wei Jiaming and his two companions were startled, their gazes falling on Ye Liang and Qian Duoduo. However, no matter how hard they tried to sense their strength, they couldn't discern the extent of their abilities.
Especially Qian Duoduo, whose aura was so restrained that it was difficult to sense what level he was at.
Could Zheng Siqi be telling the truth? Is he really just an ordinary cultivator, or is he simply being modest?
In an instant, Wei Jiaming and the other two smiled and bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Qian and Fellow Daoist Ye! I was unaware that you two Eastern Desolation were present; please forgive my rudeness."
Qian Duoduo and Ye Liang also returned the greeting with clasped hands. "Greetings, fellow Daoists."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Wei Jiaming invited them again before leaving:
"As you two fellow cultivators just heard, there's a gathering of prodigies tomorrow at 7 PM in the Mystic Firmament Hall at Immortal Spirit Lake in Flying Immortal City. If you have the time, you must attend!"
"Okay, we'll be there on time tomorrow. It'll be a good opportunity to witness the brilliance of the geniuses from all over the country," Ye Liang and Qian Duoduo nodded in agreement.
On the other side, Chen Xingci looked at Lin Jing, his eyes surging with fighting spirit:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, I was defeated by you last time, but I have made some progress recently."
"Let's find some time to have another match on the Flying Immortal Arena, shall we?"
Lin Jing nodded in agreement. "Alright! I'd also like to experience Fellow Daoist Chen's skills again. Let's arrange a time to have a match after the Gathering of Prodigies."
After Wei Jiaming and the other two left, Ye Liang sighed through Divine Sense:
"Central Continent is truly a land of outstanding people and resources. Even without the system's assistance, they have already reached the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. They are not to be underestimated."
Qian Duoduo immediately responded with Divine Sense message: "That's true. Without the Fairness System, the strength of the geniuses from the Central Continent is indeed a notch above that of our Eastern Desolation."
But now, with the system's assistance, our Eastern Desolation prodigies have already surpassed them, not only with a solid foundation but also with stronger combat power.
If all the geniuses of the Central Continent Plains are at this level, then compared to our Eastern Desolation, they are far too inferior.
Zheng Siqi echoed this sentiment using Divine Sense: "Even if they bind to the system in the future, their foundation will still be inferior to ours."
After all, when we reached the Golden Core Realm, we all cultivated Nine-Pattern Golden Core, while very few of them could achieve that.
Furthermore, thanks to our Fairness System, we were able to comprehend the Great Dao Principle earlier and gain a deeper understanding of them.
Lin Jing also used Divine Sense sense to exclaim, "The Fairness System is truly a heaven-defying wonder!"
Without it, we'd probably still be stuck in some remote corner of the Eastern Desolation, looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.
They are not qualified to compare with the geniuses of the Central Continent, let alone chat and laugh with them, or even be superior to them.
It can be said that the Fairness System has allowed us to defy fate and never be ordinary again.
Qian Duoduo, Ye Liang, Zheng Siqi all nodded in agreement after hearing Lin Jing's words.
