Denying It to the End, the Struggle
Jian Lingxu looked at the private message Zixiao sent again, his face remaining calm, but inwardly he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
How did Zixiao come to believe that she was the reincarnation of the Heavenly Sword King?
Could it be that the other party guessed based on the video of my previous actions and the Immortal King- level Cultivation Method that appeared in the System Store?
But he would never admit to being the Heavenly Sword King.
A reincarnated Immortal King, yet his strength is inferior to that of the world's greatest talents, and he has to rely on live streaming to earn Energy Points —this is truly shameful.
Now that Zixiao, also a Immortal King, has seen through him, he has lost all face and can no longer admit it.
He pondered to himself, wondering whether the current Zixiao was the true form of the Immortal King or a reincarnation.
If Zixiao High Antiquity had not perished and was still in his Immortal King form, he couldn't predict whether the other party would also start live streaming to earn Energy Points in the future.
However, if Zixiao also perished in the High Antiquity war and has only just awakened her memories, then I have nothing to worry about.
After all, he had already sold a large number of High Antiquity Cultivation Method Secret Manual in advance, in addition to the Cultivation Method Secret Manual sold by the Yue Ji Grand Yin King.
Even if Zixiao also wanted to exchange Cultivation Method Secret Manual for Energy Points in the System Store, she probably wouldn't earn as much as I do.
When Zixiao runs out of Energy Points in the future and is constantly defeated by the world's geniuses, he will eventually promote the system or start live streaming to make money in order to improve his strength.
Zixiao's current arrogant accusations against him are simply because she hasn't yet been thoroughly beaten down by this system era.
Once he experiences more setbacks and recognizes the cruelty of the world, he will naturally let go of his arrogance Immortal King and work hard to earn Energy Points.
At that time, we'll all be in the same boat, and no one will need to laugh at anyone else.
With his mind made up, Jian Lingxu calmly replied:
"You've mistaken me for someone else. I am not the reincarnation of the Heavenly Sword King. I am Jian Lingxu, the current prodigy, and I am truly not acquainted with the powerful Heavenly Sword King."
Seeing that he refused to admit it, Zixiao immediately sent a message: "Heavenly Sword King, you don't need to make excuses anymore."
I have already determined your identity as the Heavenly Sword King from your fighting style, cultivation Cultivation Method, and your true name, Jian Lingxu.
I never imagined that you, who were once so arrogant, would be so shameless after your reincarnation, not even daring to admit your past life's identity.
Jian Lingxu's expression remained unchanged as he replied again:
"I've said it before, I am Jian Lingxu, the peerless prodigy of this era, not some Heavenly Sword King. Why do you still refuse to believe me?"
The Cultivation Method I learned were merely a coincidence, a legacy left behind by the Heavenly Sword King within the Heavenly Sword Sect. The shared name is purely coincidental; please do not speculate wildly.
Zixiao narrowed her eyes slightly after reading the reply.
Could it be that I made a mistake in my judgment?
Jian Lingxu was not the reincarnation of the Heavenly Sword King, but merely received his inheritance by chance?
He recalled Jian Lingxu's expression and reaction throughout, and suddenly realized what was happening, unable to help but laugh and scold.
"What a Heavenly Sword King! His personality has really changed drastically after reincarnation. He's full of lies and almost fooled me."
When I questioned whether he was the reincarnation of Immortal King, he was unusually calm and composed.
An ordinary person would be moved by such questioning, but he remained unmoved from beginning to end.
This, ironically, became the biggest flaw.
I never expected that the reincarnation of the Heavenly Sword King would be so shameless as to insist on claiming to be the greatest genius of our time.
He immediately sent another private message to Jian Lingxu:
"Hehe, Heavenly Sword King, you're quite the actor; you almost fooled me."
You were too calm throughout, which is not how an ordinary person mistaken for the reincarnation of Immortal King should behave. You have already given yourself away.
I never imagined you'd be so shameless after your reincarnation.
When Jian Lingxu saw the private message, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart was violently shaken, but he forcibly calmed down within a few breaths.
Regardless of whether Zixiao truly saw through his identity, he would never admit it.
"You have such a rich imagination; it's a real shame you don't write screenplays."
I have already stated that I am merely a prodigy of my time, not a reincarnation of Immortal King.
I don't have time to mess around with you right now; the Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves are almost ripe.
At this moment, Dao Comprehension Mountain, the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree suddenly burst forth with a radiant glow of the Great Dao.
The branches and leaves trembled slightly, and mysterious Daoist sounds faintly echoed from among the branches.
The three thousand tea leaves on the tree were glistening and radiant, each one embodying the fundamental principles of the Great Dao, and now they all drifted slowly down with the wind.
The Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves are ripe!
The auras of everyone present surged instantly, and they accelerated to their maximum speed, transforming into streaks of light that flew towards the Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves that resonated with their own Dao.
Qian Duoduo and Little Yellow had previously killed Ancestor Tianpeng, and their fame shocked all the Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators in the entire Heavenly Profound Continent. No one else dared to step forward to compete.
The system hosts were well aware of their combat strength and background, and were unwilling to provoke them unnecessarily.
Therefore, without any competitors interfering, they easily obtained a Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves.
Bai Qianqian, Ye Qingxue, Chen Jie, Jian Lingxu, and Xu Cheng'an possessed unparalleled and formidable auras.
The system host was wary of their strength and dared not compete for it. The cultivators of the Heavenly Profound Continent were also far slower than them, so the five of them were the first to steadily pick a leaf of Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves.
But when they tried to compete for the remaining Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves, they discovered that the remaining tea leaves had either already been snapped up by someone else or were already being fiercely contested by others.
Bai Qianqian carefully put away the Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves containing the Great Dao of Slaughter she had just acquired. Her gaze shifted, and she saw something not far away.
A Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves bearing the power of the Great Dao of Destruction is being fiercely contested by a system host and a powerful demon.
The system host was only at the Early Stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm and could not defeat a great demon at the Peak of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm in a short time. The two sides were locked in a stalemate and fought endlessly.
Seeing this, Bai Qianqian didn't hesitate to leap forward and attack. "This Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves is mine, you all get out of the way at once!"
When the system host saw Bai Qianqian coming, his expression changed drastically, and his heart was filled with bitterness and helplessness.
He's really unlucky. First, he encountered a powerful demon vying for him, and now he's run into Bai Qianqian's ranked number one on the Tribulation Transcendence Realm (Return to Oneness Realm) Combat Power Ranking.
He knew he was no match for them, and that forcing a fight would only result in injury or even death.
Even if they joined forces with the great demon before them, Duoduo hold out for a short while longer, with no chance of victory.
In the end, he failed to obtain the Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves and was seriously injured, suffering a net loss.
With this thought in mind, he immediately conceded, "Since Fellow Daoist Bai desires it, I will grant you this Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately withdrew and retreated, no longer entangled with the great demon.
Upon seeing Bai Qianqian appear, the great demon was so frightened that its system host, who was fighting against it, fled in panic, filled with immense fear.
However, it was unaware of Bai Qianqian's true strength. Seeing the Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves right before its eyes, how could it be willing to give them up so easily?
It was confident that even if it was no match for its opponent, the other side would not be able to easily keep it.
Upon realizing this, it preemptively took away the Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves.
"This Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves is mine, get out of my way! Or I'll kill you."
"You want to die? Then I'll grant your wish."
Bai Qianqian's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she raised her hand to slash out with her sword.
A fierce and incomparably killing sword light swept across the sky, tearing through the void, carrying with it the supreme ferocity of annihilating all living beings, and slashed down towards the great demon.
Upon seeing this, the great demon's expression changed drastically. Not daring to be negligent, he surged with Demon Power and immediately swung his giant hammer with all his might, attempting to directly confront the killing sword light.
