Chaos Sword Body Technique: The Sword God is invincible!-Chapter 856: Child of the World

"Sigh!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The Jade Book Great Saint let out a sigh. This time, not only did they fail to capture Lin Yi, but he also managed to leave unharmed. However, the more serious issue wasn’t just this; it was the complete deterioration of Lin Yi’s relationship with Wanling Academy!

If not for the matter with Song Lan, and her unfair handling, perhaps the situation between Lin Yi and Wanling Academy wouldn’t have reached such a state.

Even if Lin Yi didn’t join Wanling Academy, he could have become a friend of the academy, given the presence of Lu Qingcheng. The two sides certainly could have maintained a friendly relationship.

But now, everything has turned out for the worst!

After this incident, the last trace of goodwill Lin Yi might have had toward Wanling Academy likely vanished entirely.

She bore a significant responsibility for this.

The gaze of the Jade Book Great Saint fell on Lu Qingcheng, where a moment of contemplation rose in her heart. Considering the relationship between Lu Qingcheng and Lin Yi, as long as she properly nurtured Lu Qingcheng, even if Lin Yi cultivated to an enormously powerful level in the future, there shouldn’t be a complete break with Wanling Academy, right?

...

Outside Wanling Academy.

Lin Yi had already appeared in a desolate wilderness. As the surrounding space ceased to twist, a figure appeared before him — his Master, Jian Youzi.

"Kid, every time you manage to cause such a big commotion. If I hadn’t secretly followed this time, you’d have been suppressed by Wanling Academy and thrown in jail!"

Jian Youzi glared at Lin Yi with some irritation.

"Since I joined your sect, you naturally have to take responsibility for me."

But Lin Yi, with a look of self-justification, said, "If it weren’t for you, I’d now be a Core Saint of Wanling Academy. How would I have faced this calamity today?"

"So, ultimately, it’s your fault, you old con man."

Jian Youzi was speechless, never expecting the kid to be so adept at shifting blame. Clearly, it was his own reckless behavior — how dared he cripple a genius disciple within someone else’s sect?

Any Daoist sect wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen, much less let the culprit leave so brazenly!

"However, you are indeed a little reckless in your actions, too inconsiderate of the consequences. You should be more careful in the future."

Jian Youzi kindly reminded him.

"The sky falling isn’t your job to handle?"

Lin Yi’s face remained calm, "Anyway, your reputation is already so bad. Even if we do good deeds, others probably wouldn’t believe us."

"Might as well just become a Demon Lord of Mayhem, turn this Wanling Realm upside down!"

After saying this, Lin Yi’s gaze also suddenly turned fiery, feeling that causing havoc and being a Demon Lord of Mayhem these past times was quite exhilarating.

He now enjoyed seeing others’ frustrated expressions, yet unable to do anything about it, particularly pleasing.

Jian Youzi: "..."

He was speechless, wondering what kind of misfortune had led him to take such a kid as his Closed-door Disciple?

He had a premonition, this kid intended to trap him, to avenge the initial trick when he was accepted into the sect; in the future, he would surely bring him a lot of trouble.

"Kid, take it easy. Although there is only one Divine in the Wanling Realm, there are many powerful Great Saints."

"Your Master here, although strong, is not fearless of everything under heaven. If someday, I can’t protect you, don’t blame me."

However, Lin Yi merely nodded perfunctorily, clearly not taking his words to heart, and casually asked, "Old con man, where have we decided to set up our new mountain gate?"

"It’s not decided yet."

Jian Youzi shook his head, "Before that, I will first take you somewhere."

"Where?"

There was a hint of curiosity on Lin Yi’s face.

However, Jian Youzi did not rush to answer but instead asked Lin Yi, "Kid, have you ever heard of a Boundary War?"

"Boundary War?"

The curiosity on Lin Yi’s face grew stronger.

"A Boundary War refers to the great battles that erupt between worlds amidst the starry sky."

Jian Youzi said slowly, "In this vast expanse of stars, various factions exist. To seize territories and resources, they engage in massive Boundary Wars."

"The losing side of a Boundary War often pays a heavy price, either having their world occupied and losing autonomy, becoming enslaved by other worlds, or facing substantial war reparations, with a large amount of resources plundered."

"Conversely, the winning side in a Boundary War undoubtedly gains tremendous benefits."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi’s eyes twinkled slightly, realizing that a Boundary War was essentially a larger-scale faction conflict, only at a scale incomparable to ordinary faction battles, millions of times greater.

Within a world, numerous powerful factions exist — a Boundary War is essentially the life-and-death confrontation of the elites from two worlds, an unimaginable scene!

"The scale of Boundary Wars varies, large and small."

Jian Youzi continued, "Large-scale Boundary Wars are the battlegrounds of Great Saints, with even Divines intervening, determining the life and death of a world."

"However, such large-scale Boundary Wars are extremely rare."

"Generally, Boundary Wars are not large in scale, and currently, there is a set rule in the starry sky: when competing for outer-territories, Great Saints and above do not intervene. It is the old-generation Saint Kings and the young generation of Heavenly Prides who are active on the battlefield."

"In this, each world will select a ’Child of the World’ from their new generation, to bear the Qi Fortune of the world, representing it."

"Once the Child of the World falls, it signifies that the world has become the defeated party in the Boundary War, forfeiting all outer territories and handing them over to the opponent, along with surrendering a vast amount of resources as compensation for losing."

Lin Yi was suddenly astonished, "Then, this Child of the World is of monumental importance, crucial to the strength of a world?"

"Indeed."

Jian Youzi nodded, "The strength of the Child of the World plays a pivotal role in the Boundary War. Generally, each world will have their strongest young Supreme serve as the Child of the World."

"I see."

Lin Yi nodded, understanding but then immediately asked, "What does this have to do with me?"

"You wouldn’t want me to compete for the position of the Child of the World, would you?"

"Exactly."

Jian Youzi nodded, "Becoming the Child of the World, you not only bear the Qi Fortune of a world but also receive the full support and cultivation of the entire Wanling Realm. With such immense benefits, why not?"
