"Just ordinary?
Heh, Lian'er, you little lass, your tone is truly not small."
Changfeng Great Emperor laughed helplessly, then praised, "However, the fact that you know these things shows you've been working very hard lately. That's praiseworthy."
"Of course!"
Lian'er lifted her small head proudly and said, "When you were away, Lian'er cultivated very diligently with Mistress. If you don't believe me, ask Mistress!"
As she spoke, Lian'er even winked deliberately at Qianye Immortal King, as if hinting at something. Qianye Immortal King found it both irritating and amusing but didn't expose her.
"Is that so?
Then this master will test you further."
As Changfeng Great Emperor's voice rang out, Lian'er said, "Master, please ask your question."
"What is the Divine Movement Extreme Body?"
"The Divine Movement Extreme Body is one of the supreme treasure bodies. The words 'Divine Movement' can be understood as 'divine consciousness roaming,' meaning spiritual travel. Possessing the Divine Movement Extreme Body allows one to roam heaven and earth like divine consciousness, arriving without a trace, departing without a shadow, ascending to the heavens, descending to the earth—there is nothing it cannot do."
"Good!
Very good."
Changfeng Great Emperor asked again, "Then what is the Heavenly Lion Star?"
"The Heavenly Lion Star is not only one of the Present Era's Heavenly Mandates but also one of the Star Generals among them. Like a general on the battlefield, it charges forward and defends the Great Dao. Possessing such a Heavenly Mandate can be said to make one unstoppable."
"Good!
Excellent."
Changfeng Great Emperor looked at Lian'er with appreciation, then continued to inquire, "Then what is an Incarnation of Original Sin?"
"An Incarnation of Original Sin? That's really too simple. Rather than calling it an Incarnation of Original Sin, it would be more accurate to say it is 'becoming Original Sin.' After becoming Original Sin, it will release the most primal evil within the heart. Disposition, mental state, soul, morality, virtue, and all else will vanish. Everything will return to its original state. The physical body will, the soul will, everything will."
"Not bad, not bad, truly not bad."
Changfeng Great Emperor said, "Since you know all this, why did you say that Tian Kui is ordinary?"
Lian'er lifted her head, puzzled, and asked, "Isn't he ordinary?"
"The Divine Movement Extreme Body, the Heavenly Lion Star, and the Incarnation of Original Sin—which of these isn't a unique, peerless Fortune? How did they become 'ordinary' in your eyes?"
"Master, you've misunderstood Lian'er."
"Oh?
Just now, this master heard it clearly. You said that Tian Kui is very ordinary. Did this master hear wrong?"
"Master did not hear wrong. Lian'er did say that Tian Kui is ordinary. However, Lian'er wasn't talking about his Fortune, but about him as a person."
"How do you explain that?
Why do you say he as a person is ordinary?"
"That Tian Kui's Fortune, whether it's the Divine Movement Extreme Body or the Heavenly Lion Star, can be considered unique Fortune. If an ordinary person obtained even one of them, they could be peerless under heaven. That statement is correct. However, if someone simultaneously possesses two such Fortunes, it's not necessarily a good thing."
Changfeng Great Emperor said, "With Purple Cloud Immortal Realm's financial resources, it's more than sufficient for them to nurture two Fortunes—even three or four would be no problem."
"Master, nurturing Fortune isn't as simple as raising kittens or puppies. If one only uses resources to nurture it, the Fortune nurtured, even if it grows, will be impressive only in appearance. Moreover, regardless of any Fortune, it possesses spirituality. Right now, Tian Kui's Fortune hasn't grown up yet. If it does grow, his Divine Movement Extreme Body cannot possibly tolerate the Heavenly Lion Star, and his Heavenly Lion Star cannot possibly tolerate the Divine Movement Extreme Body. In the end, he will ultimately face a choice between the two."
Changfeng Great Emperor said, "Since ancient times, there have been countless prodigies possessing various Fortunes. Although most of them later faced a choice between two, there are also those who simultaneously possessed two Fortunes, even three, or even more."
"Alright..." Lian'er could tell her master was deliberately making things difficult for her. She said, "Lian'er knew Master would definitely say this. There are indeed many prodigies possessing numerous Fortunes, but the prerequisite is that they are not Original Sin individuals."
"Oh?
How do you explain that?"
"Regardless of any Fortune, no matter how powerful the Fortune is, as long as it appears on an Original Sin individual, it is a waste."
Hearing Lian'er say this, Changfeng Great Emperor was inwardly overjoyed, but he didn't show it. He continued to ask, "Why?"
"Lian'er just said that Original Sin is primal evil. Once one becomes Original Sin, everything about the Original Sin individual will return to its original state. Since everything has returned to its original state, what relevance do other Fortunes have? Unless the Fortune on the Original Sin individual originates from Original Sin itself. Unfortunately, the Divine Movement Extreme Body and Heavenly Lion Star on Tian Kui are not."
Lian'er continued, "That is to say, that Tian Kui from Purple Cloud Immortal Realm is, in plain terms, merely an Original Sin individual, with nothing special about him. Isn't he ordinary?"
Upon hearing this, Changfeng Great Emperor remained silent for a long time. He wanted to say something but hesitated. He looked at Qianye Immortal King beside him and asked, "Did you teach her this?"
"I have never taught Lian'er these things."
"Master, Mistress never taught me these. These are things Lian'er comprehended on her own."
Changfeng Great Emperor was greatly astonished. "You truly comprehended this yourself?"
"Otherwise? You and Mistress never taught me. If Lian'er didn't comprehend it herself, how would I know these things?"
"Good...
Truly good, excellent!"
Changfeng Great Emperor never expected that Lian'er, at such a young age, could see through Original Sin so thoroughly.
The facts were exactly as Lian'er had said. Tian Kui's ordinariness did not refer to the Fortune on his person. On the contrary, the Fortune on Tian Kui, whether the Divine Movement Extreme Body or the Heavenly Lion Star, could be called peerless under heaven—not ordinary in the slightest. However, no matter how peerless or extraordinary the Fortune, once it appears on an Original Sin individual, it becomes ordinary.
Original Sin itself is the most mysterious and powerful Fortune between heaven and earth. No other Fortune, no matter how dazzling, can compare to Original Sin.
It is like stars and the sun.
At night, stars are incomparably brilliant.
But once the sun appears, the radiance of the stars is immediately overshadowed by the sun's light.
Currently, Tian Kui is not too deeply immersed on the path of Original Sin, and his other two Fortunes have not grown up yet. If they do grow, leaving aside the fact that the other two Fortunes would disrupt his balance, even if Tian Kui could simultaneously control the Divine Movement Extreme Body and the Heavenly Lion Star, he would inevitably have to abandon these two Fortunes because of Original Sin in the future. This is certain; he must abandon them. He must choose either the Divine Movement Extreme Body, the Heavenly Lion Star, or Original Sin. If he does not abandon them, once the balance is broken, there is only a dead end in the end.
Of course.
Not all Fortune will be overshadowed by the light of Original Sin; Fortune conceived by Original Sin will not.
However, Fortune conceived by Original Sin are all legendary taboos between heaven and earth.
Ordinary people, let alone encountering them, even if they do, who masters whom is an unknown variable.
