My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 600: Chapter 62: Birth of a Monster (Part 3)

"To be honest... I don’t know."

Zhang Xiufeng hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "Xia Yue didn’t mention anything about this... He definitely knows something about your Authority Ability, but he seems unwilling to discuss it."

Chen Lu Si: "..."

"What do you plan to do next?"

Zhang Xiufeng asked suddenly, watching Chen Lu Si, who was once again looking down at the ant in his palm.

Chen Lu Si gently shook his head.

Honestly speaking.

He wasn’t sure either.

"I understand."

Seeing the expression on Chen Lu Si’s face, Zhang Xiufeng didn’t continue the topic and instead turned his gaze to the ant in Chen Lu Si’s palm, speaking softly: "You should know by now, right? Currently, the Celestial Strategy Mansion is very tense and has fully entered into a state of war readiness."

"Hmm." Chen Lu Si nodded.

"Actually, it’s quite normal because the Celestial Strategy Mansion, without Xia Yue, has too many variables."

Zhang Xiufeng sighed: "But actually... the reason the Celestial Strategy Mansion is so tense, and Ji Xin is so tense, isn’t just that the Celestial Strategy Mansion’s strongest combatant, Xia Yue, is gone, but because... Xia Yue made a choice that seemed utterly foolish yet incredibly shocking to others.

... A mere mortal chose to stand directly in front of the patrolling gods.

And in the end, he won, driving the entire Kunlun Pantheon back and casting the legendary Goddess of Longevity down to the mortal world."

"..."

Chen Lu Si jerked his head up, a look of astonishment on his face.

"Yes, this is another reason for the tension at the Celestial Strategy Mansion."

Zhang Xiufeng nodded, a hint of shock and yearning on his face, confirming: "The Queen Mother of the West is now in the human world, currently detained within ’Mount Tai.’

And Xia Yue’s action, which seemed so foolish yet awe-inspiring to others, proved one thing to all the Empowerers present at the time.

That is—just how powerful can an Empowerer become!

He demonstrated to everyone what it means to be a god among humans!

It was all too shocking.

Even I find myself yearning.

Not to mention those old-era Empowerers who pursue immortality.

But there’s only one Xia Yue, the one who, relying solely on his talent, cast the Goddess of Longevity down to the mortal world. Not everyone can be like him... and unable to pursue that great power on their own, once the shock brought by Xia Yue fades, many will consider taking shortcuts.

And the Queen Mother of the West, at the top of the Kunlun Pantheon, might just be a good shortcut."

At this point.

Zhang Xiufeng curled his lips, seemingly very disdainful: "Chen Lu Si, my point is simple, I look down on those people... I don’t know what challenges the Celestial Strategy Mansion will face next, and I don’t know what you will do.

But if you need help from Daoism, feel free to let me know, the entire Daoism will do their utmost to assist.

At the same time, Daoism will absolutely never become a problem for the Celestial Strategy Mansion... This is my promise as the current Celestial Master.

This has nothing to do with the talisman matter.

It’s simply because Xia Yue believes in you.

And I... greatly admire Xia Yue, who, despite possessing Divine Power, made such a foolish choice, standing directly before the gods and casting the Goddess of Longevity down to the mortal realm, a genuine protector of the human world."

...

Zhang Xiufeng and Chen Qing left.

The two still needed to return to Kunlun and tidy up the aftermath.

After all, the Stone atop the ’Artificial Celestial Gate’ was from the Ancestral Celestial Master.

Even shattered, the two still wanted to retrieve it.

And Chen Lu Si did not see them off, holding that giant ant wrapped in a purple mist, recalling what Zhang Xiufeng had just said, and fell into silence.

... Perhaps, in the eyes of most gods of the Kunlun Pantheon born from primitive plant and animal worship, humans are as insignificant as ants.

But in the end, it was such an ’ant’ that stood in front of them, driving them all back, even casting them into the mortal realm.

Xia Yue, giant ant.

"..."

Chen Lu Si pressed his lips together, slowly snapped back to reality, then turned to enter the house.

But just as he turned...

He saw a girl appear behind him.

She was wearing a thin pure white long dress, standing quietly, exuding an indescribable ethereal and sacred aura. Her small, delicately carved face was expressionless.

Chen Lu Si: "..."

The little girl slightly raised her head, looking at Chen Lu Si’s face, then reached out and gently held his hand.
