Chapter 1459: Chapter 662: The Flying Vessel World! (Part 2)
However, he wasn’t in a hurry to comprehend it.
Right now the two sat facing each other, and Artifact Saint let out a sigh. "Never thought things would end up like this!"
A堂堂 Saint, now his life and death hung on someone else’s whim.
This gap... was something he found hard to accept.
But to stay alive, he had no choice.
"What’s the difference?" Chen Xuan countered.
Artifact Saint froze for a moment, then showed a bitter smile. "Yeah, no difference. My life and death have been in someone else’s hands since long ago."
Ever since Cloud Saint could easily track down his true body.
As long as he dared show the slightest defiance, what awaited him was death.
Indeed, not much difference.
"Then that’s fine. Relatively speaking, as long as you don’t defy me, you’re no different from before."
"Then your goal is...."
Since that was the case, what was he after?
"Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask!"
Chen Xuan shot him a cold glance. "Tell me word for word what the Three Saints ordered you to do!"
Artifact Saint didn’t dare slack off.
Just now, a single look from Chen Xuan made him feel death looming; without a doubt, Chen Xuan’s strength far surpassed his.
And there was this leaf’s existence.
So he laid out everything the Three Saints had told him, leaving not a single detail out, even speaking of how Cloud Saint had easily found his true body back then.
"More than eighty percent is already done!"
Chen Xuan raised a brow. According to Artifact Saint’s estimation, at most it would take another ten thousand years.
In terms of time, that was more than enough.
"But the flying boat is still missing a core component!" Artifact Saint held nothing back, or rather, this was also the resentment in his heart.
These years, the Three Saints hadn’t treated him as a person at all.
Who would have thought that the number one in Artifact Refining of the Upper Domain,堂堂 Artifact Saint, was actually being used as a beast of burden by the Three Saints, with no regard for his consumption.
How tragic!
He didn’t know Chen Xuan’s true goal, but he had a vague guess in his heart, and that was the fundamental reason he didn’t hide anything.
"Top-tier Spiritual Objects, right?"
Back then he’d already deduced this together with Flower Saint and the other two.
Their move against the Lower Domain was also for this purpose.
Sure enough, Artifact Saint was stunned, then immediately understood—how could someone who came up from the Lower Domain not know?
"Right!"
"Top-tier Spiritual Objects—but not just one!"
"You mean you need several?" Now Chen Xuan’s brow furrowed slightly; neither he nor the other Saints had known this.
"Mm! At least three!"
"And also...."
Artifact Saint paused for a moment. "Flower Saint is the most crucial link among them!"
"Flower Saint?!"
She was an outsider to begin with, a lotus as her true body, and she’d drifted outside for such a long time. Put that way, it made sense!
"Then if the top-tier Spiritual Objects of the Lower Domain can’t be obtained, among the Lower Five Saints, aside from you, all of them will have their ’becoming Dao’ top-tier Spiritual Objects taken."
"Correct!"
"Even this old man isn’t guaranteed safe!"
That had always been his worry. Though Qing Saint had clearly told him that as long as he focused on refining the flying boat, they would definitely spare his life...
"Looks like the Lower Five Saints aren’t much better off than ants."
Chen Xuan couldn’t help but sigh. Faced with the Upper Three Saints, they simply didn’t have the strength to resist.
Everything was just waiting for the time to come.
Like birds in a cage!
"Ants? Heh." Artifact Saint sneered. "Ants can at least cling to life, but the few of us can lose our lives at any moment!"
In the end, strength decided everything!
The Upper Three Saints were not only powerful, they were a unified existence.
That made them even more despairing.
The three strongest huddled together as one—how the hell are you supposed to play against that.
"You want me to help you kill those three, don’t you?" Chen Xuan guessed his thoughts. He’d submitted so readily, and from the looks of it was hiding nothing from him.
Clearly up to something.
Artifact Saint openly admitted it. "Yes. If you can kill those three, I’ll do whatever you ask."
Being pressed down by those three, his psyche had long since twisted somewhat.
"Damn, why does this Saint feel kinda perverted."
Chen Xuan muttered inwardly.
Daoist Saint was extremely scared of death, Ten Thousand Saint went without saying, outright perverted.
Killing Saint was just a lunatic devil.
Now Artifact Saint was the same; the only slightly normal one was Flower Saint.
"The Three Saints are just too strong; they’ve crushed these people into this state."
Chen Xuan couldn’t help but lament.
"What do you need this old man to do now?" Artifact Saint looked at him and asked.
"Everything as usual."
Chen Xuan spoke softly. "Hand over all the flying boat’s structure and Array to me... As for the rest, we’ll talk after I’ve comprehended the Dao Pearl."
The Three Saints were too strong!
Given the current situation, even if the Five Saints joined him, they’d still definitely not be a match. So for now, the only plan was to raise his own strength.
He’d figure out the rest later.
"Alright!"
Artifact Saint replied. He understood too: although Chen Xuan was strong, he was still powerless before the Three Saints.
Next, Artifact Saint continued forging the flying boat and arranging Arrays.
And they also began moving against Eight Desolates Palace and Liuyun Mountain.
Though that part was carried out by people Spirit Saint sent.
Chen Xuan, meanwhile, was comprehending the Dao Pearl.
"The Dao Pearl of Artifact Saint seems to have even more explosive power of the Grand Dao!"
A strand of his divine soul sat cross-legged within the Dao Pearl, surrounded by streams of fiery-red Grand Dao power.
After several years, he had completely comprehended Artifact Saint’s Dao Pearl.
His divine soul slowly dispersed, and Chen Xuan opened his eyes.
At this moment, the five Dao Pearls of the Lower Five Saints circled around his body.
Emitting different colors of light.
"Seems there’s some kind of connection between these five?"
Chen Xuan sensed a slight anomaly but couldn’t put it into words.
Suddenly!
The Compass in his sea of consciousness stirred and flew out on its own.
The next moment!
The five Dao Pearls actually flew toward the Compass on their own, orbiting around it.
