Chapter 139: Threatening the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star!

"It seems even Brother Man believes that I have already obtained the Soul Transformation Stage Legacy?"

At this moment, Zhao Changsheng's face was full of smiles, but it was the kind of smile that made one shudder. Even Savage Beard, a Cultivator at the peak of the Middle Nascent Soul Stage, felt trepidation in his heart upon seeing Zhao Changsheng's smile, wondering if he had said something wrong.

"In any case, that's what the outside world is saying. I wonder if Fellow Daoist actually has it?"

Savage Beard asked tentatively. Of course, he truly wanted to know; after all, it was a Soul Transformation Stage Legacy. Virtually no Cultivator would remain unmoved or uninterested in such a thing.

"Whether I obtained it or not isn't actually important. What matters is that I indeed possess a Legacy comparable to the Soul Transformation Stage. Otherwise, how could I have advanced to my current Realm in such a short period of time? Wouldn't you agree?"

"To reach this level in less than a hundred years, and even think of wiping out the Six Paths Extreme Saint—if I didn't have sufficient confidence and ability, how would I dare to do such a thing?"

Zhao Changsheng's words did not bring Savage Beard any joy; instead, they made him increasingly uneasy.

He felt that there was definitely a hidden meaning behind Zhao Changsheng's words.

He must have said something wrong just now; otherwise, why would he feel so unsettled?

"What do you mean by that, Fellow Daoist? Could it be that I said something wrong just now? I am not coveting your Legacy, but rather asking what methods you have up your sleeve to ensure the destruction of Six Paths. Right now, nothing is more important than this. Surely you realize that if anything goes wrong, none of us will survive."

Savage Beard swallowed hard, his tone much gentler than usual. If anyone who knew him well had seen this, they would have definitely thought they were looking at the wrong person.

This was mainly because the pressure Zhao Changsheng exerted on Savage Beard was simply too great—even greater than when he faced the Six Paths Extreme Saint or Third Aunt Wan.

This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable, yet he couldn't quite put his finger on what was happening. He just felt that the aura on Zhao Changsheng was far too terrifying, far beyond what the immortal extermination pearl in his hand could compare to.

Just a moment ago, he thought this sense of danger came from the immortal extermination pearl, but now it seemed that Zhao Changsheng himself possessed the power to threaten him.

"I didn't take it to heart. Brother Man, you should know very well that you just need to repeat what I said to the Six Paths Extreme Saint word for word. It's best if he brings more people—the more, the better. Only then can all hidden dangers be rooted out once and for all. This way, I will have a relatively quiet cultivation environment in the future and won't be easily disturbed by anyone. I'll have to trouble Brother Man to handle this matter."

Zhao Changsheng's words made Savage Beard's skin crawl. He felt as if he were talking to an incredibly terrifying monster that could take his life at any moment. This sensation was agonizing; he wanted to stand up and leave immediately, only to find his body as stiff as a board, unable to move at all.

This caused Savage Beard's face to turn pale. He could only obediently nod and agree.

"No problem, just leave this matter to me. I will certainly handle it properly and won't let you down, Fellow Daoist. You can rest assured."

As soon as he said this, Savage Beard himself showed a look of disbelief, for he couldn't believe he would actually say such things.

It truly terrified him; now, he didn't even dare to look Zhao Changsheng in the eye.

The pressure Zhao Changsheng exerted on him was simply too horrific.

Under such terrifying pressure, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator like Savage Beard found it hard to bear.

"Then I'll leave this to Brother Man. I hope you won't disappoint me."

The moment those words were spoken, Savage Beard immediately stood up to take his leave. He felt he could move again and needed to get away quickly; he couldn't delay any longer, or he truly wouldn't know how he died.

"I shall take my leave first. If there is anything else, just give the word."

Currently, Savage Beard was almost indistinguishable from a subordinate; he stood up and spoke with a bow.

After speaking, he hurried away, not daring to stay for even a single moment.

As he was leaving, he happened to run into Madam Wen. Seeing him depart in such a flustered state, she couldn't help but feel curious.

"What did you do to him? He looks like he was scared away. Did you say something to frighten him?"

Madam Wen asked.

"It's nothing. I just asked him to tell your husband exactly what I said, word for word. Let him listen carefully and bring more people over, just like I told you before. By having him bring more people, it will be easier for me to do what I need to do—which is to catch them all in one net. This will save some trouble; I won't have to go looking for them house by house. Cleaning them all up in one go is neat and efficient, with no need to worry about other matters."

"I see!"

Zhao Changsheng's answer brought a realization to Madam Wen, but she still felt things weren't that simple, especially given Savage Beard's reaction—he looked like he wished he had two extra legs to run faster.

Although Cultivators didn't need legs to travel, was that really the situation?

"But based on my understanding of him, I'm afraid it won't be that simple. He will likely send people to test your Divine Ability and strength first, as well as the immortal extermination pearl in your hand. He'd prefer for you to use up the pearl; only then will he feel at ease. If you don't use it, he might not come and might instead make you go to him."

Madam Wen was finding it increasingly difficult to see through Zhao Changsheng, so she could only offer him advice on what to do.

"It doesn't matter. If he doesn't come, I will find him personally. At most, it's just an extra trip for me, but his end will be even more miserable. When the time comes, I'll leave him to you. You can do whatever you want with him; if you want to punish him, punish him. It's best to eliminate him as soon as possible to avenge all those years of suffering. After all, he hasn't exactly tormented you sparingly over the years; I am well aware of that."

.

Hearing Zhao Changsheng's gentle words, a hint of emotion appeared on Madam Wen's face. She then handed the tea she had poured to Zhao Changsheng.

"Then I thank you, Fellow Daoist."

"These are all minor matters. I only want to complete what I set out to do; other things aren't particularly important to me, and I won't pay them much mind. None of these things really matter to me. Right now, I only hope he can bring more people over as soon as possible. If he does, perhaps out of gratitude, I'll give him a more comfortable death. You should also handle him as best as you can, just in case. After all, the two of you do have some history, even if that 'feeling' is mostly hatred."

Zhao Changsheng's words made Madam Wen feel a bit uncomfortable, but she still nodded and said nothing more.

After Madam Wen left, Zhao Changsheng glanced at the Transmission Talisman in his hand. The message within came from that Grand Elder of the Star Palace.

The information sent was very simple: it asked Zhao Changsheng to return to the Star Palace immediately, as the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star requested his presence.

Zhao Changsheng had no intention of caring about this news. He directly burned the Transmission Talisman to ashes. He had no intention of going; since he didn't need to go anymore, there was no point in giving any detailed reports.

Zhao Changsheng was now in a position to demand an account, not give one. Since he was in this phase, it was others who had to answer to him, not the other way around.

Moreover, he believed that the Grand Elder would definitely come in person. Since the other party was coming, there was no need for him to make the trip, and he wouldn't go anyway.

And so, Zhao Changsheng began to rest with his eyes closed on his own territory, waiting for the visitors to arrive.

To Zhao Changsheng, these were just appetizers; the truly exciting content was yet to come.

He hoped the Six Paths Extreme Saint would bring more people to perform this good show. That way, it would be more exciting and interesting for him to play and watch.

Another half month passed. During this time, the Grand Elder never received a reply from Zhao Changsheng, nor did he see him, which made him realize that Zhao Changsheng would not be coming.

Under these circumstances, although the Grand Elder felt very depressed and upset, he had no choice but to go in person.

As for why he didn't send someone else, it was primarily because the man wouldn't come; even if he sent more people, it would be meaningless. Thus, he had to go himself, but before leaving, he reported the matter to the Two Holy Lords.

Upon learning that the Grand Elder was going to Longevity Island in person, the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star both gave a warning, telling the Grand Elder to be extremely careful.

Zhao Changsheng was now completely beyond their control. It could be said that even if they wanted to control him now, it was already too late.

In this situation, they could only take it one step at a time, as they felt their plan had completely failed.

And since the plan had failed, whatever happened next had little to do with them.

This feeling of a failed plan and loss of control gave the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star a sense of panic.

However, neither of them showed it. They could only hope that the Grand Elder's trip to Longevity Island would yield some results.

The Grand Elder of the Star Palace was very fast and arrived at Zhao Changsheng's Longevity Island before long.

"There are no servants on the island. I have already dismissed them all, so I hope the Grand Elder will forgive me."

As soon as the Grand Elder arrived, Zhao Changsheng spoke these words, telling him there was no one to serve him and that he shouldn't wait for tea.

"It doesn't matter; these are just minor things. I have come this time primarily for one matter, and I hope to get an answer from you."

The Grand Elder shook his head and spoke dismissively. To him, nothing was more important than this matter, so he naturally had to ask.

"Does the Grand Elder want to ask if the immortal extermination pearl truly exists, or if its power can really kill a Soul Transformation Cultivator? Then I can tell the Grand Elder now that it is indeed so. As long as there are enough of them—about five or six—the power of these immortal extermination pearls is enough to kill a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator. This is where my confidence lies. And since even a Soul Transformation Cultivator can be killed, does the Grand Elder think it wouldn't be able to kill two Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivators and several Nascent Soul Cultivators?"

"Such a thing is simply too easy for the immortal extermination pearl—so easy it feels a bit exaggerated even to me. This is my greatest source of confidence. Therefore, the Grand Elder can go back and report to the Two Holy Lords, saying that I have enough strength to kill them as well."

Before he had even finished speaking, the Grand Elder slammed the table and stood up. As the Grand Elder most loyal to the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star, he naturally could not accept this matter or these words. His face was full of indignation, and his eyes looked as if they wanted to spit fire and burn Zhao Changsheng alive.

"Grand Elder, please do not be angry. What I am saying is the truth, and I am being honest. I am not exaggerating or trying to scare anyone; I am stating a fact with not a shred of falsehood. I also hope the Grand Elder will tell the Two Holy Lords word for word, so they stop playing any more tricks or schemes. Before, we had no power to resist, but now I have ample power to resist, so there is no need to worry about anything. If the two of them die now, the Star Palace could collapse at any moment. Surely the Grand Elder understands this logic; after all, to be honest, you are a bit older than them, if I recall correctly. So, the Grand Elder might even Pass away before they do. As for me, I still have over a thousand years of lifespan and can wait bit by bit. In such a long time, I will have plenty of time to Cultivate and improve my Realm. My strength will definitely reach the peak, and I might even Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Stage."

"Just like the rumors you spread about me obtaining a Soul Transformation Stage Legacy—since you've already spread it, I naturally can't let you be liars, right? Therefore, I plan to actually obtain a Soul Transformation Stage Legacy. This way, there will be far too many Cultivators wanting to kill me, but I won't care. The more that come, the better, as it will be convenient for me to wipe them all out in one go. Once they are all dealt with, I will start dealing with those I don't like, because I want to create a relatively quiet cultivation environment without any disturbances. Only then can I Cultivate in peace."

"Perhaps in not many years, I will be able to successfully Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Stage. Don't you agree, Grand Elder? I believe that is the case."

"Do you think you can threaten our entire Star Palace with just a single immortal extermination pearl? Or do you think this one pearl is enough to threaten the Two Holy Lords?"

The Grand Elder questioned him now, laughing out of extreme anger.

"Threat? This is indeed a threat. Yes, it is indeed a threat."
