I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 687: An Enemy You Can’t Fight, Great Saint, Are You Actually Afraid?

From the Great Saint’s tone, it’s quite evident that the entity concealed within Wu Juedian is no ordinary being, and the Great Saint possesses some familiarity with it.

Considering Lin Yi’s current might, confronting this threat poses a significant challenge, and even with the Great Saint exerting full effort, a guaranteed victory remains uncertain. Therefore, strategically withdrawing to avoid a direct confrontation is a viable option.

Activating the [Seventy-Two Transformations] skill, Lin Yi promptly withdrew Lin You into the Undead Space. He then employed the skill’s effect to suppress his aura to its absolute minimum. Subsequently, he unleashed [Interwoven Light and Shadow] in conjunction with [Thunderbolt Flash], desperately attempting to create distance from the formidable monster.

The expanse of Shadow Devouring Star is comparable in size to Blue Star. With Lin Yi operating at his peak, he successfully managed to pull away from Wu Juedian.

"Great Saint, what is your assessment? Should we simply flee? That individual lacks any dimensional jump capabilities; there’s no way they can pursue us. Why don’t we relocate and establish ourselves elsewhere for development?"

A secure and steady progression, optimizing the chances of eventual triumph, is an ingrained trait of the Da Xia people.

An unfavorable beginning is hardly a source of shame, particularly when confronted by a formidable entity from a higher plane of existence.

At the very least, a return to Blue Star would allow for the recruitment of allies from neighboring planets to bolster strength before venturing further.

"What do you mean by that? Do you truly take me for a fool?"

"Is it merely a black hound we face? And you propose we actually evade its prowess?"

Upon reaching a secure vantage point, a subtle golden luminescence emanated from Lin Yi’s body. These golden lights coalesced, revealing the spectral visage of the Great Saint – a majestic figure adorned with a Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown, clad in elegant armor, and wearing Lotus Silk Cloud-Stepping Shoes.

Although merely an ethereal projection, Lin Yi recognized that the ability to manifest his true form within this realm signified a vast improvement over his previous state of merely transforming within the Martial Soul system.

The monkey, seated cross-legged upon the Sea-Calming Divine Needle, was a potent presence. Unburdened by the Golden Hoop's restraint, even as a residual soul, its current state far surpassed its prior existence as a mere vestige of its former self, confined to a divine position.

"Great Saint, you?!"

As Lin Yi’s martial soul, the monkey intuitively grasped the unspoken intention behind Lin Yi’s exclamation.

"Reviving me is not a simple endeavor. You must understand, I, Old Sun, was originally a colorful stone used by Nuwa to mend the heavens, absorbing immense celestial essence to gain birth. Do you truly believe your negligible divine power is sufficient to resurrect me? It’s akin to attempting to empty the four seas with a single scoop."

Lin Yi’s expression involuntarily darkened upon hearing this.

Since transitioning to his professional status, Lin Yi had never encountered such an impolite companion. Even if there were impracticalities in its goodwill, such discouraging words seemed excessive.

"No wonder your bald master described you as mischievous. Can’t you even perform basic calculations? How many years have you been cultivating compared to my professional tenure? You spent centuries pondering beneath the Five Finger Mountain alone."

WTF! FUCK!

After an extended period within the inverted Heavenly Tower, he had witnessed the ebb and flow of history through the dialogues exchanged between past professionals and the old emperor, comprehending the rise and fall of various epochs.

During this time, he had also acquired a considerable repertoire of phrases suitable for addressing the lineages of others.

"You are truly asking for trouble. If Old Sun were capable of striking you, and you remained standing thereafter, you could consider me utterly inept!"

The subsequent apology for the jest proved effective, and given Sun Wukong's generally magnanimous nature, the matter quickly faded into the past.

"You imply that even ten Calamities would be insufficient against that individual alone?"

Lin Yi remained unaware of the black hound's origins.

Within the Xia mythological framework, there was a complete absence of any mention of this entity, leaving Lin Yi understandably perplexed.

The monkey, perched upon the Sea-Calming Divine Needle, gazed into the distance, its eyes clouded with recollection, and nodded gravely.

"Ideally, while this entity’s current power is significantly diminished, it appears to be in a continuous process of assimilating Wu Juedian’s physical form. Although Wu Juedian's physique is somewhat lacking, it seems to meet the minimal requirements. As long as it is granted sufficient time to fully subjugate Wu Juedian's consciousness and expel its soul, it can achieve a form of rebirth."

Emmm....

What sort of novel concept is this? The methods employed across the myriad worlds are truly boundless.

"Great Saint, what is the purpose of detailing such intricacies? You could have simply stated the situation directly. We are merely experiencing a bit of misfortune; at worst, we can relocate to another galaxy and continue our journey."

Upon hearing this, the Great Saint could not help but emit a laugh.

His laughter was tinged with both a sense of helplessness and profound relief.

Reflecting on the past centuries, the weight on his brow had undeniably restricted his freedom and intrinsic nature.

Despite this, the Golden Hoop bestowed upon him invaluable lessons, forging within him an unexpected virtue: patience!

The impetuous monkey, fresh from Fangcun Mountain, was prone to explosive reactions at the slightest provocation, a trait that led to significant past disturbances.

Yet, Sun Wukong's disposition had undergone a complete metamorphosis.

Coexisting for millennia with the residual soul of the ancient emperor had a profound effect, gradually imbuing him with a sense of composure.

"I, Old Sun, find your human ways of endless chatter tiresome."

"The sole reason I engage in this lengthy discourse with you is not merely to illuminate the chasm between your capabilities and his, but to also impress upon you that even with the power to vanquish such a foe, we are restrained from action. One must consider the standing of a subordinate's master, must they not? His master commands far greater might than I do."

"Why does such a disparity exist between similar simians?"

A simian?!

Could it be a monkey surpassing Sun Wukong in power? A Long-armed Ape?

Just as this notion began to form in Lin Yi's mind, Sun Wukong himself dispelled the possibility.

Prior to attaining his deification, Sun Wukong indeed lacked the strength to contend with the Long-armed Ape, particularly considering the latter's official standing and access to numerous resources.

However, through continuous cultivation, the Great Sage had long since surpassed him.

As for the supreme entity, the Great Sage had never entertained the thought of a challenge.

"Depart now, do not tarry. First, banish your two lesser companions. You must devise a method to send that entity back. Should it master the art of dimensional traversal, dire consequences await both you and Blue Star."

What caliber of formidable being could instill such profound apprehension in the Great Sage, the very one who once challenged the celestial hierarchy?

Lin Yi refrained from delving too deeply into speculation for the moment, yet he was utterly certain that the Great Sage, present within him as a martial soul, harbored no ill intent.

"Ah, yes, and for you too, young lady, hehe, your technique is truly exquisite; I am quite fond of it."

Within the Martial Emperor Hall, Little Ao Shu reclined contentedly upon a bed, basking in the attentive care of the hall's serving maids.

It must be said, this young lady, possessing a dragon bloodline, emanated an inherent regal aura that could not be contained.

Xiyue, attending to Little Ao Shu, meticulously operated a complex machine, fabricating an artifact that defied the current era.

After reviewing Xiang Wuxing's records concerning the comprehension of this particular ability and understanding the immense boon provided by the Spirit Awakening Stone, Xiyue conceived a plan to acquire a considerable quantity of these stones.

After all, it represented the most straightforward path to significantly bolstering Blue Star's might, an approach even more immediate than augmenting the planetary will.
