Regardless of whether it was the historic event of the sinister devils wreaking havoc in the Kingdom of the Nine States or the experiment the Night Monarch was now conducting, both pieces of information were extremely important.
It could be said that this information should have been inaccessible to anyone below the Dao Integration Stage.
So why was the Night Monarch so willing to impart this knowledge upon An Lin?
It didn’t make any sense!
The Night Monarch stared at An Lin with his pretty eyes. “Why did I tell you so much? It’s because we have an affinity with one another…”
An Lin faltered upon hearing this, and his lips twitched. “Could you be any less sincere with your answer?”
Things like affinity and fate were all f*cking bullsh*t!
That answer was the same as not providing an answer at all.
The Night Monarch immediately provided an explanation at the sight of An Lin’s displeasure. “You possess the Tian Ming Dao Physique, which is exceedingly rare. I also possess the Tian Ming Dao Physique, so we’re both closer to the Heavenly Dao as a result. Is that not a good enough reason?”
An Lin was astonished. “I possess the Tian Ming Dao Physique?”
The Night Monarch was also astonished. “You didn’t know?”
An Lin: “…”
He thought about this carefully and recalled that the system seemed to have mentioned once upon a time that he possessed the Tian Ming Dao Physique, which allowed it to fuse with him.
“I do have some recollection of that. Perhaps I really do possess the Tian Ming Dao Physique… Speaking of which, what is this Tian Ming Dao Physique? Why don’t I feel like I’m special at all?” An Lin murmured.
The Night Monarch provided a patient explanation.
“We are ones blessed by the heavens. Don’t you feel like it’s particularly easy for you when you cultivate in spell techniques, observe intent realms, and make breakthroughs? Doesn’t it feel easier for you to resonate with heaven and earth?”
“Bullsh*t! Last time, I almost became a eunuch because I nearly failed to absorb enough golden Realm Essence Crystal! And that I had to kiss the sun where I almost got burned to death! You call that easy?!” An Lin flared up with rage.
The Night Monarch was at a complete loss. “Are we talking about the same thing here?”
“S… sorry… Please continue.”
An Lin had accidentally let his emotions get the better of himself, and he could only offer an apologetic smile.
The Night Monarch continued, “We possess the Tian Ming Dao Physique, and as a result, we have brilliant aptitudes, we are closer to the Heavenly Dao, and we receive a boost in our power when cultivating in dark type spell techniques… ”
A boost from dark type spell techniques?
An Lin’s lips twitched upon hearing this. Meanwhile, he was using the Fire God Mode every day and whizzing it around like a miniature sun. It didn’t really seem quite right…
“Look at the entire Tai Chu Continent, only you, Daolord Lu Ya, and I possess this constitution…” the Night Monarch continued.
“Daolord Lu Ya?!” An Lin’s body shuddered.
“What about him?” The Night Monarch was intrigued by An Lin’s reaction.
“Is Daolord Lu Ya an old man with a vulgar smile?” An Lin interrogated.
The Night Monarch cocked his head to the side. “Daolord Lu Ya is renowned for being a handsome and graceful man. How can he be an old man with a vulgar smile?”
An Lin’s expression remained unchanged, but his conviction became even more firm.
No wonder Chang’e had told him that he had a backer called Daolord Lu Ya.
That old man who had given him his system had to be Daolord Lu Ya! That bastard had probably disguised himself!
Only those who possessed the Tian Ming Dao Physique could accept the system. That bastard offloaded his system like an infectious disease!
It was just a pity that he had never met Daolord Lu Ya up to this point in time. Otherwise, he was definitely going to interrogate him on what this weird system was.
The Night Monarch continued, “We are the ones chosen by the heavens to change this world. It is fate that brought you and me together…”
A sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in An Lin’s heart upon hearing this.
“Would you be interested in learning about the Heaven Crushing Sect?” the Night Monarch asked.
An Lin: “…”
Sure enough, this was another recruitment for the Heaven Crushing Sect.
The Night Monarch spoke in a meaningful and heartfelt voice, “Did you know that our world is facing extreme danger? It…”
“Alright, alright, I get it! Are you a heavenly disciple or whatever?” An Lin cut off the Night Monarch with a dark expression.
“I’m not qualified to become a heavenly disciple. I am only the Heavenly Disciple Attendant of the first heavenly disciple…” the Night Monarch explained.
An Lin’s heart jolted with shock upon hearing this. Even the Night Monarch wasn’t qualified to become a heavenly disciple? This Heaven Crushing Sect was even more terrifying than he had imagined…
“Don’t even bother trying to invite me. Not even Cyril and Chen Chen could convince me, so you should just give up,” An Lin decline with a firm voice.
The Night Monarch’s heart jolted with surprise upon hearing this, and he appraised An Lin even more carefully. “You really do have an affinity with our Heaven Crushing Sect. To think that both the heavenly disciples would extend an invitation to you.”
“That’s nothing. They even invited me to become the third heavenly disciple and offered divine tools, divine pills, and a harem… Even with those conditions, I still declined, so you should seriously just give up!” An Lin waved a dismissive hand.
The Night Monarch was astonished. This was the first time an expression of astonishment had appeared on his face.
“The… the third heavenly disciple? And you declined?!”
“Yeah, is there a problem?”
An Lin was a little perplexed.
The Night Monarch continued to stare at An Lin, as if he was trying to see through him.
“I really have underestimated you. You are even more important than I had imagined…” The Night Monarch was not disappointed in the slightest by An Lin’s rejection. Instead, his eyes took on an even more scorching light.
An Lin was feeling a little unsettled.
It was quite weird being stared at like this by a monarch.
“Regardless of whether I’m important or not, even if I starve to death and can’t find my way out of this Abyss of Evil, I still refuse to join this Heaven Crushing Sect!” An Lin reaffirmed in a firm voice.
“Alright…” An expression of disappointment surfaced on the Night Monarch’s face. “In any case, the Heaven Crushing Sect is always open to you. We will await the day you change your mind.”
An Lin felt like he had heard a similar spiel before, and he nodded without saying anything.
The Night Monarch was a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure after all, so it was not good to be too rude to him.
“Uh… Um…”
An extremely hoarse voice sounded.
An Lin looked down to discover Dong Yang sprawled on the ground while throwing up mouthfuls of blood.
“Are you… don’t talk… I think I might need some emergency treatment… Eurgh…”
He threw up another mouthful of blood as he spoke.
The Night Monarch was given a massive fright. “Ah! I almost forgot about you, my poor Dong Yang! Don’t worry, with me here, nothing is going to happen to you!”
Dong Yang: “… Experience… experience despair…”
The Night Monarch was already injecting his own power into Dong Yang’s body to heal his injuries.
“Senior Night Monarch, if there’s nothing else, then I’ll be taking my leave now.” An Lin felt like there was no point to stay here any longer.
The Night Monarch nodded. “I hope to see you again.”
Even though Little Xie was reluctant to leave, An Lin still dragged her away and got onto Da Bai’s back.
“Master, what do I do? After finding out that sinister devils were transformed from humans, I don’t think I have it in me to kill them anymore,” Little Xie muttered with a conflicted expression on her round little face.
An Lin turned to Little Xie with a hint of surprise in his eyes. “I really didn’t expect you to have thoughts like that.”
In his heart, Little Xie was always this willful, domineering little girl. It could be said that it was quite a feat that she was able to extend compassion toward sinister devils after hearing their story…
“Do you need sinister devils?
“I have a lot of sinister devils who have completely lost control and are beyond salvation. They’ve been driven completely mad by slaughter and are no longer capable of recovering their emotions. I can give those to you.”
The Night Monarch suddenly offered from behind them.
