Lin Ye replied frankly, "I don't know?"
"It's probably a malfunction of the curse."
The Demon Emperor's envoy fell into deep thought, clicked his tongue, and clenched his fists.
That kid got off easy!
He said irritably, "You're here to challenge us too?"
"Let me show you."
The Demon Emperor's envoy raised his chin and pointed to the numbers displayed on the detection stone of the Desolate Curse.
Body scan accuracy: 95%
Initial challenge floor: 33 (Historical record of external challengers: 38!)
The Demon Emperor's envoy's face clearly showed some smugness.
This initial challenge floor signifies that Huangzhou believes the first 33 levels are meaningless to him.
That's a very high compliment!
It's even close to historical records.
Lin Ye nodded: "That's fine."
"Heh... Fellow Daoist, do you know what a 95% body scan rate means?"
Seeing that Lin Ye's reaction was not significant, the Demon Emperor's envoy shouted, "There is a 5% component in my body and bloodline whose nature even the Desolate Curse cannot confirm!"
"Therefore, this potential cannot be included in the initial challenge floor assessment."
"If you include that, I've already caught up with the historical record... no, perhaps I've far surpassed it!"
Lin Ye nodded: "I understand what you mean."
The Demon Emperor's envoy snorted through his nose.
The curse also has elements that cannot be fully confirmed, naturally due to the precious bloodline possessed by the Demon Emperor's envoy...
Bifang!
This is an ancient mythical beast bloodline. Legend has it that wherever the Bifang bird flies, a great fire will ignite. It belongs to the fire-type mythical beasts.
If we're talking about the realm of fire-type mythical beasts, whose bloodline can surpass that of Bifang?
Currently, the only known species in the cultivation world are the Vermilion Bird, Phoenix, Candle Dragon, and Three-Legged Golden Crow!
"Why haven't you taken the test yet?" the Demon Emperor's envoy urged. "I won't laugh at you, give it a try!"
"Right on my mind."
Lin Ye also wanted to test whether Huang Zhou could see through his concealment technique, so he stepped forward to approach the divine stone.
The Demon Emperor's envoy watched mockingly from behind.
How many...? Skipping ten floors would be a lot, but it's still far less than what I have!
As the Demon Emperor's envoy was pondering this, the divine stone in front of Lin Ye suddenly shone brightly.
"Reading history..."
"Unable to scan... Unable to scan... Player, please remove the concealment technique!"
Lin Ye chuckled softly.
My method of concealment is indeed effective, but it's a bit expensive, and I have to pay extra to advance to each major realm.
But the key point is that I skipped the Foundation Establishment stage, so I don't need to make up for the price difference!
It seems even those at the Golden Core stage don't need to replenish their essence anymore...
comfortable!
The Demon Emperor's envoy was slightly surprised.
Does he possess such advanced concealment techniques? Even the Desolate Curse cannot detect him!
The demon emperor's envoy crossed his arms and said loudly, "Withdraw! Are you afraid?"
Halfway through his speech, the Demon Emperor's envoy stopped talking as he saw numbers begin to appear on the divine stone.
Body scan percentage: 55% (significant information missing)
Initial challenge floor: 75 (new record already included)
Lin Ye clapped his hands.
This tower will assess cultivators in all aspects, and Huang Zhou should also take his weapon-refining ability into account.
Aside from the areas that "cannot be seen here," he has opened up many other places that were previously covered up.
Huang Zhou had some historical understanding of his weapon-forging abilities; without that, his data wouldn't be very complete, making it difficult for him to break the record.
The demon emperor's envoy's eyelids twitched.
How could such a low scan rate possibly surpass historical records?
This is impossible!
"Cheating! You absolutely cheated!"
"Congratulations on breaking the record!" At that moment, a crisp shout rang out from beside the two of them.
The Lord of the Great Wilderness stood to the side with his hands behind his back, looking quite elegant, with a bright smile on his face.
"Sorry, I peeked for a while. Lin Ye, your grades are fantastic!"
Lin Ye quickly replied, "Your Majesty flatters me."
"Let's go upstairs and talk. Let's go."
The Lord of the Great Wilderness eagerly took Lin Ye's hand and teleported away in an instant.
The Demon Emperor's envoy froze upon hearing their conversation.
What did I just hear...!
Lin Ye...
With His Majesty!?
Chapter 112 Sitting Together
Lin Ye put the crystal armor back into his belt and took the Great Wilderness Lord's small hand.
Lin Ye's palm could completely envelop her small hand, so even though Lin Ye was being led, it looked like the other way around.
The force was gentle, like pinching a cloud.
Lin Ye couldn't help but marvel at how someone could dissipate their explosive power to the point of being completely undetectable. What exquisite control of power that was!
What's truly chilling is that the vibrations in her hand might not even be detectable at a microscopic level.
This is the complete opposite of the rough and unrefined Bai Yue; her control over power is simply unbeatable.
Lin Ye also gently took her hand, trying to keep her steady as they swayed.
Seeing this, the Lord of the Great Wilderness revealed an interested look.
"So eager to learn!"
“That person just now was an envoy sent by the Demon Emperor Mountain to deal with you.”
"Should we kill him?"
Teleported to the top floor, the Lord of the Great Wilderness led Lin Ye through the enormous corridor, offering a reminder.
Lin Ye suddenly realized, "So it was this guy!"
He used a secret technique to conceal his face, so it was impossible to tell his identity.
The Demon Emperor's Envoy comes from a ducal family on Demon Emperor Mountain. Judging from Huang Zhou's evaluation, he has potential, and fighting opponents of higher levels is not a dream.
However, even though they were both at the peak of the Golden Core stage, the Demon Emperor's envoy was still easily defeated by Bai Yue, as their talents were not on the same level.
Lin Ye narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, this man has learned today that I am acquainted with Your Majesty. Given Your Majesty's prestige, do you think he would not abandon the Demon Emperor's Crown Prince and turn to me?"
"Even their families may seize the opportunity to change course."
"If he knows what's good for him and comes to the palace to cause me trouble, he will offer a large sum of money as an apology."
"If he makes no move and misses this opportunity, I will commit suicide. Such a trivial matter... there is no need for Your Majesty to take action," Lin Ye said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.
The Lord of the Great Wilderness's eyes lit up, and he nodded.
"He is mature and shrewd in governing the country, unlike the impetuous youth!"
Lin Ye's reaction pleased her.
If I were younger, I would have killed my enemy outright, which would have brought a series of troubles afterward.
Given Lin Ye's situation, the best option would be to gain the support of the powerful nobles behind the Demon Emperor's envoy and take advantage of the opportunity to resolve their grievances.
As long as things are handled well and the other party issues a public apology, the matter won't be too embarrassing.
"However, doing things this way once or twice is fine, but if we frequently let our enemies go, we risk being looked down upon by the world!"
The Lord of the Great Wilderness looked concerned.
Lin Ye, however, seemed to have thought it through beforehand and smiled, "With His Majesty's prestige protecting me, no one dares to look down on me, and I won't have too many enemies."
"Haha, that's not necessarily true. There are quite a few Mahayana cultivators in the world who don't like me! It's not that I'm being looked down upon..."
The Lord of the Great Wilderness suddenly stopped in his tracks.
What did Lin Ye just say? The implication of "with His Majesty's protection" is... "You agreed!"
The Lord of the Great Wilderness raised her delicate eyebrows, her golden eyes filled with immense joy, as radiant and beautiful as the sunset.
Lin Ye quickly replied, "In this vast world, only the Imperial Palace can protect me. I am fortunate to have received Your Majesty's favor, and I will never forget it even after a hundred lifetimes. If Your Majesty does not mind, I am willing to serve you with more affection than even your disciple or son could!"
"Haha, my dear son! Lin'er... I'll call you that from now on!"
The Lord of the Great Wilderness smiled brightly. The next second, she quickened her pace, and a sonic boom rang out. Lin Ye was pulled along and flung around in the air like a flag.
After passing through the long corridor, the view suddenly opened up, and in the center of the hall stood a dragon throne, on which Lin Ye was gently placed!
The Lord of the Great Wilderness hesitated for a moment, then jumped up and sat between his legs.
She gently swung her fair and slender legs, looked up at Lin Ye, and smiled broadly.
Lin Ye couldn't help but feel his heart racing.
'Ah...so skilled, she must have been imagining this scene for a long time.'
'Can just anyone sit on the dragon throne?' The meaning is clear: she's saying the right of inheritance belongs to me.
"But if I become the sole heir to the Great Wilderness, I'll face immense pressure from the outside world. More people will want to kill me, and I can't even fully trust the Golden Crow King and the Golden Roc King!"
'It's best to use a pretext, rather than an official one.'
Lin Ye's eyes flickered slightly.
"I have something to tell you!"
"After careful consideration, Lin'er, please don't be angry after hearing this."
"Lin'er, tell me, I'm not angry."
The Lord of the Great Wilderness leaned back, his pointed horns resting on Lin Ye's shoulders, his chubby little face showing an expression of attentive listening.
Her long, beige hair, warm as sunlight, cascaded casually over Jiao and Linye's shoulders, exuding a delicate fragrance that was refreshing and pleasant.
"It would be best to publicly declare that we have a master-disciple relationship."
Lin Ye said seriously.
The Lord of the Great Wilderness was taken aback.
If there's any difference between a master and apprentice, or a mother and child...
That means, according to the rules of the Great Wilderness, a disciple's right to inherit the throne is much weaker than that of a son! In fact, one could say that he has no right to inherit at all!
So she was genuinely puzzled.
