It Was All to Make Them Compromise

"Ah! He's in! He's in!"

"Hiss--"

"My God! It's really true!"

As Lin Xie's figure burst in, countless people inside and outside the Emperor Dao were instantly abuzz with excitement.

Yue Peng suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on Lin Xie.

The last one to reach this point was that ancestor who exists only in the records.

Now, I'm witnessing someone actually take this step once again.

"Chief."

A high-ranking member of the Liu Clan withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Liu Xun.

He didn't say anything, but the meaning was clear in his eyes.

This Emperor Dao was originally intended to make the imperial son famous, but now it has been usurped by others.

Liu Xun didn't speak, but just Jingjing looked at Lin Xie.

"Does this mean he has a chance to reach the Emperor Realm in the future?"

Beyond the Emperor Dao, Luo Zhen gazed at Lin Xie's expression and spoke with emotion.

"Not necessarily."

Chen Mingxuan shook his head:

"Talent is one thing, but whether you have a strong destiny is another."

After a pause, Chen Mingxuan glanced at Luo Zhen and said:

"However, now you have to make a decision."

"What?"

Luo Zhen was taken aback and looked at Chen Mingxuan.

"If he didn't have a powerful backer, the Liu Clan would surely become his calamity today."

"The body you took was forged by it; it will surely find a way to retrieve it."

"The decision is yours: whether to avoid him or help him."

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful expression flashed across Luo Zhen's face.

After a moment, Luo Zhen spoke:

What's the difference between these two options?

"There's not much difference." Chen Mingxuan shook his head and said:

"Since you already have his body, there's not much difference. If you can do it, it's just a matter of sooner or later."

Luo Zhen nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked:

"Then, can I choose both?"

Chen Mingxuan smiled upon hearing this:

"Sure."

"What should we do?" Luo Zhen's eyes lit up.

"Let's go."

Chen Mingxuan stood up:

"I know a method for a ghost marriage; given the physical body you've acquired, it might be of use."

After saying that, Chen Mingxuan raised his hand and grabbed Luo Zhen by the back of the neck, then disappeared.

At this time.

Seeing is believing, and the discussion became even more heated.

At the end of the Emperor Dao, Lin Xie's face showed a hint of confusion.

Everything came to an abrupt end, which was indeed quite abrupt.

"Perhaps it's because the Emperor Artifact has existed for too long, and it can no longer sustain itself."

Lin Xie didn't dwell on it too much.

His gaze fell on a certain spot, he took a deep breath, walked over, and sat down.

Then, under the watchful eyes of countless people, Lin Xie raised his hands and formed a series of hand seals, with power suspended in the air, surrounding his body.

This scene immediately piqued the curiosity of everyone present, and the heated discussions subsided somewhat as many people focused on Lin Xie's actions.

"What are you trying to do?"

"Could it be that there are other secrets at the end of the Emperor Dao?"

"What else?"

As Lin Xie formed more and more marks, everyone's curiosity reached its peak.

Yue Peng also watched this scene intently, his mind replaying it over and over.

Perhaps because the clan records from that time only focused on the key points, it seems that not much was recorded about this place.

Even he himself had no way of knowing what Lin Xie's intentions were.

At the same time.

Lu Changzhi also learned about it briefly.

"Judging from this, this Emperor-Conferment Artifact is indeed quite remarkable."

Lu Changzhi murmured softly.

According to the Artifact Spirit.

This object, referred to as Emperor Artifact, should actually be called Emperor-Conferment Artifact.

As its name suggests, this object is used to confer titles upon emperors.

Anyone who enters and walks through it may be crowned emperor.

However, the pinnacle of artifact crafting no longer exists; those who have traversed it can now be said to have the potential to be crowned emperor at best.

According to the Artifact Spirit's explanation...

The so-called imperial title was not actually a substantial benefit.

The most essential purpose of this object is to make people obey, or to plant the seed of obedience in people's hearts.

The more resolute you are in your heart and the more you believe in yourself, the less likely you are to take that final step, and the less likely you are to reach the end.

The difficulty can be greatly reduced if one acknowledges one's own insignificance and accepts the feeling of being inferior.

Those who reach certain levels or possess certain qualities are often individuals with sharp and distinctive characteristics.

This artifact requires the refinement of someone who has given up their horns.

By compromising just once, one can obtain the title of emperor.

"Although I don't know who made this artifact, its usefulness is truly..."

Lu Changzhi gently shook his head.

It's obvious they're subtly engaging in PUA (Pick-Up Artist) tactics.

Compromise once may not be a big deal, but whether compromise can be stopped once is another matter entirely.

"So, Lin Xie just gave in?"

Lu Changzhi looked at Lin Xie.

"No, he was able to get there thanks to his master."

After the Artifact Spirit finished speaking, it explained:

"I was probably too excited just now, and I didn't notice he slipped in."

"Should we make him start over now?"

"Need not."

Lu Changzhi shook his head, looking at the rather busy Lin Xie with great interest, and asked:

Do you know what he's doing?

"Know."

The Way of the Artifact Spirit:

"His position and the things he's using are probably meant to make my true form appear."

"Then take it?" Lu Changzhi asked.

"Yes," the Artifact Spirit said.

"However, he might have been able to before, but now that I'm awake, whether I can do it or not depends on what you think, Master."

"My thoughts?"

Lu Changzhi glanced around, lingering a moment longer on the Liu Clan's high-ranking members and Liu Xun, then stood up and smiled:

"Let's not let them put on a brave face anymore. Now's the time to surprise them."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Lu Changzhi waved his hand to dispel the illusion array around him.

The sudden appearance of the figure startled many people around.

When everyone saw that the figure was Lu Changzhi, they were all shocked.

"They're out! They're finally out!"

"Is the competition about to begin? It's come to this point after all; I can't sit still anymore."

"Finally... but isn't it a bit too late to come out now?"

Opinions differed, but their expressions of watching the spectacle were remarkably similar.

Many people outside the Emperor Dao also noticed this, and for a time a great deal of attention shifted to Lu Changzhi.

"The dark horse has already reached its limit. Even if we compete again now, it seems pointless, right?" Someone shook their head in confusion.

"If we go now and have a proper fight with them to determine who is superior, we might be able to prove ourselves. However, this prince of the Liu Clan is probably traveling here for the first time, so it won't be quick," someone whispered a guess.

Some people simply and confidently spoke up:

"In any case, the Liu Clan's limelight is bound to be jeopardized this time in the Emperor Dao, unless he can pull off something extraordinary."
