Daoism Revival System: Start with fighting against Debunker Streamer

Chapter 457 - 456: Shen Gongbao’s Divination, Lin Heng Sets Out [First Update]

Lin Heng’s voice wasn’t loud.

Yet each word was like a drumstick, striking the hearts of everyone present.

The crowd looked at each other, their eyes complex.

Reflecting on the journey so far.

Was there ever any peace and smoothness?

Wasn’t it all today’s achievement fought for by the Daoist Lord again and again?

"Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing, like you, are the people closest to me."

"Today, whether they are on the brink of death, or you are hanging by a thread, could I ignore it because of danger?"

"I understand your goodwill."

"But as practitioners, we should seek clarity of mind."

"If I were to sit back and do nothing today, even if I could preserve my life, my path would definitely reach its end."

Lin Heng’s calm words made those advising in the Immortal Palace fall silent collectively.

Including the Black Bear Spirit.

He had followed the leader the longest and understood his character the most.

Just now, he could still speak to dissuade him, but now, no matter what, he couldn’t say a word.

Only Nie Xiaoqian, with her beautiful eyes complex, said:

"If on this journey, you never return..."

"Then I will never return!" Lin Heng said with immense openness.

"Why would practitioners care about life and death?"

"More so..." Lin Heng paused, then his eyes burst with extreme invincibility, loudly proclaiming: "If gods surround me, I’ll slay gods, if demons besiege me, I’ll vanquish demons!"

"No matter if there are mountains of daggers or seas of fire ahead, I shall pave the way with my fists. No one can stop me."

"Not even a Quasi-Saint!"

Lin Heng’s voice was sonorous, like thunder, resonating through the entire Immortal Palace.

His whole aura exuded that of an invincible.

It was confidence from the inside out!

"Good... good."

"Well said!"

The voice of State Preceptor Shen Gongbao sounded outside the Immortal Palace, as he strode in.

With one palm extended.

In his palm were several turtle shells.

"Reporting to the... Daoist Lord."

"I have divined the auspice for this journey, the... the omens show this journey as auspicious!"

"Very auspicious!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

"Perhaps what Miss Xiaoqian saw was just a simple dream!"

Many said, their expressions relaxed.

"Even if there is danger, it should only be temporary; the Daoist Lord has repeatedly survived desperate situations over the years."

"It is expected that this journey will be the same!"

Though there was still worry in their hearts, no one continued to advise against it.

Lin Heng’s words reminded them of the past.

Ask any Daoist disciples, when have they not faced death?

Indeed, as practitioners, they should seek clarity of mind.

If they truly feared death, what path could they be cultivating?

And now, with State Preceptor Shen Gongbao’s divination indicating great auspice.

Everyone naturally could not continue to advise against it.

"If that’s the case, Daoist Lord, we will take our leave."

"We only wish for a smooth journey!"

The Masters all said, then gradually left the Immortal Hall.

Yet, Nie Xiaoqian still had worried eyes, she hesitated to speak, and the Black Bear Spirit shook his head and led her out.

Instantly.

The Immortal Palace returned to silence.

Only Lin Heng and Shen Gongbao remained.

Lin Heng sat in a high position, calmly looking directly at Shen Gongbao.

"Is the divination really auspicious?"

Shen Gongbao shook his head.

"Grievously inauspicious."

"As expected." Lin Heng’s face remained calm, seemingly not surprised.

However, Shen Gongbao added: "The outer... outer Demon Race is a land of death."

"The divination shows a chance of one in a million."

"If you overcome it, it will be... it will be extremely auspicious, with great fortune!"

"How to choose, Daoist Lord... decide for yourself."

"No choice needed." Lin Heng said: "I have already made my decision."

"Soon, I will arrange everything, during my absence at the Immortal Court, all matters, big and small, will ultimately be decided by you!"

As Lin Heng spoke, he tossed the Emperor’s Seal of the Immortal Court to Shen Gongbao.

This seal contained Lin Heng’s essence blood.

Whoever held this seal.

Could command the Power of Fortune of the Immortal Court at will!

Shen Gongbao was astonished, evidently not expecting Lin Heng to hand this over to him.

His expression became somewhat complex: "Sun Wukong, Tian... Tianpeng, Nezha..."

"Many in the Immortal Court are much... much more reliable candidates."

"Daoist Lord, are you not afraid that, by letting me, the bringer of misfortune, wield this power, you will repeat the downfall of the Yin Shang?"

Lin Heng shook his head: "The fall of ancient Yin Shang was a battle of Saints, how could it be blamed on you?"

"As for more reliable candidates..."

Lin Heng paused, then slowly continued:

"Who could be more reliable than you, a Daoist predecessor?"

At this point, Lin Heng smiled: "Even if, one day, you truly usurp the nation, and seize the great position of the Immortal Court."

"It would simply be me, the Daoist Lord, replaced by you, the Daoist Lord."

"As long as this remains the Daoist Immortal Court, what does it matter who holds power?"

"Do you agree?"

Lin Heng’s smile was like a spring breeze, sincere and gentle.

"I..."

Shen Gongbao was somewhat dazed and lost, after many moments of eye contact with the person above, he slowly bowed his head and said:

"May the Daoist Lord have a smooth journey."

...

On the other side.

Having left the Immortal Palace, Nie Xiaoqian clenched her fists tight, with an angry face.

"Shen Gongbao is lying."

"This scene appeared in the scroll."

"That divination cannot possibly show great auspice!"

"This little Daoist is falling for deceit!"

Even at this time, her way of addressing Lin Heng had not changed.

And naturally unchanged, was the Black Bear Spirit.

"The boss should know."

"It’s just that, regardless of whether the divination is auspicious or inauspicious, the boss is resolved to go."

"He will die..." Nie Xiaoqian was very anxious, her beautiful eyes faintly misty.

But the Black Bear Spirit said, "Isn’t that why you are here?"

"Me?"

Nie Xiaoqian was momentarily stunned, looking puzzled at the Black Bear Spirit.

The Black Bear Spirit said, "You could secretly follow. Your scroll, whether for concealment or escape, is top-notch."

"At a critical moment, perhaps you can take the boss away!"

"This..." Nie Xiaoqian bit her lip, hesitating to speak.

For some reason.

She always harbored fear about the journey to the outer Demon Race.

But upon thinking that the little Daoist might not find life this time.

She finally gritted her teeth, nodded, and said: "Alright."

"I will go too, secretly following!"

...

...

Lin Heng’s personnel arrangements were quickly issued to all departments of the Immortal Court.

Upon learning that the Emperor’s Seal of the Immortal Court was handed to Shen Gongbao.

All the Immortals were puzzled.

Because Sun Wukong had already been left behind, yet he wasn’t the one to take authority, leaving many of the Demon Race who followed Sun Wukong into the Immortal Court very dissatisfied.

However, Sun Wukong himself had no objections.

Or rather.

He had long since unconditionally obeyed Lin Heng’s orders.

Long-armed Ape didn’t wait long outside the Immortal Court, perhaps half a day, before Lin Heng departed on a cloud under the gaze of all.

"Let’s go."

Lin Heng said, without extra words, leaving the Eastern Desolate Continent with the Long-armed Ape.

Heading straight to the Northern Domain.
