My monster derivative skills are the orthodox ones

Chapter 365 I Didn't Say Anything
Jade Emperor?

Han Peng was suddenly stunned.

Du Yu was also stunned.

The surprise came too suddenly; just a moment ago they were enemies of the Heavenly Court, how did they become a regular army in the blink of an eye...?

Is the Lord's bloodline so pure?
The thought that Li Ye was an envoy of the Jade Emperor made all the things he had done seem forgivable.

Imperial envoys inherently possess the authority to act first and report later.

When faced with dire straits, humans instinctively try to think positively, which provides them with some psychological comfort.

……

"What proof do you have?" Han Peng asked.

"Isn't the slaughter of all the Olympian gods proof enough? Han Xingjun, without the Heavenly Venerable's backing, could my master and I have slaughtered all the gods on Mount Olympus?"

As Li Ye spoke, he continued to display his spoils.

In no time, he had pieced together the bones and muscles of the thirteen Olympian gods into complete specimens, which looked lifelike.

The aura of the Olympian gods grew stronger on the fragments of the corpse, and Han Peng's eyes darted around.

The deaths of the Olympian gods cannot be linked to the Jade Emperor, but it proves that there must be a powerful force behind Li Ye.

With a silent sigh, Han Peng thought to himself that he couldn't perish here; he had to report the matter back to the Heavenly Court so that the Emperor could take preventative measures as soon as possible.

"What is the Jade Emperor's current situation?" Han Peng continued to ask.

Even if you've decided to play along with Li Ye, you can't be too obvious. Everything needs to be done gradually to dispel his suspicions and to get more inside information from him.

“I don’t know,” Li Ye said. “I have never seen the Heavenly Venerable in person. All the orders were given to me by the Heavenly Venerable through his divine sense.”

The Jade Emperor theory wouldn't fool Han Peng. Li Ye had never met the Jade Emperor, and if he said anything more, he might expose the lie.

but.

He didn't actually need to deceive Han Peng; the reason he brought up the Jade Emperor was simply to find an excuse that both sides could accept.

Most importantly, Li Ye needed Han Peng to send a signal to the outside world that he had powerful backers.

Whether it's the Jade Emperor or other mysterious figures, they can all make those powerful beings hesitate when they attack him. The corpses of the Olympian gods are just the tiger skin he's showing off...

Li Ye wasn't worried about being exposed; his skill for protecting his mind—"Don't try to guess my thoughts"—meant that anyone who could read his mind would only read gibberish.

"You've never seen the Celestial Venerable, so how can you be sure that it's the Jade Emperor himself?" Han Peng frowned slightly, his performance completely seamless.

“My master and Li Tianwang would never lie to me!” Li Ye said, showing Han Peng his Eye of Truth. “Star Lord, you should recognize my master’s Eye of Truth. The Lingguan Order may have been found, but the cultivation technique can’t lie.”

As for Li Tianwang, he and Huian Xingzhe are now both serving the Heavenly Venerable. Jinzha and Lady Yin died at Nezha's hands, and now only Li Tianwang and Muzha remain in the Li family.

Han Peng was stunned. Without realizing it, he began to feel that what Li Ye said might be true. He continued to ask, "Who else is by the Great Celestial Venerable's side?"

“Michael,” Li Ye said.

He didn't know exactly how many former Heavenly Court officials the Immortal Emperor had recruited, so to increase credibility, he had to mention characters who had appeared in his past worlds.

"Michael?" Han Peng raised an eyebrow. "How could Michael be loyal to the Great Celestial Venerable?"

“That’s beyond my knowledge,” Li Ye said. “I only know that the Heavenly Venerable has gathered many people under his command, but very few of the old Heavenly Court members.”

"There are very few former members of the Heavenly Court?" Han Peng was taken aback. "Why?"

Li Ye looked at Han Peng, narrowed his eyes, and said slowly, "My master said that the people of Heaven cannot be trusted."

"..." Han Peng initially didn't believe that Li Ye had the Jade Emperor behind him, but now he was somewhat dazed. "Why does the spirit official say that?"

"The Great Celestial Venerable is still here, so why would the Longevity Emperor overstep his bounds and rebuild the Heavenly Court?" Li Ye asked rhetorically.

"..." Du Yu's pupils trembled violently. Is this something I can hear?
"..." Han Peng's eye twitched.

"Why did the demons suddenly cause chaos ten thousand years ago? Why was the vast Heavenly Court destroyed? Why were so many gods implicated, and even the Heavenly Court was destroyed? Of course, Han Xingjun was a witness to these events, and you know better than I do what happened back then."

Li Ye posed a series of questions, and finally snorted, "But has Han Xingjun ever thought about why, ten years ago, when the seal of the Demon Suppression Tower loosened and the demonic energy escaped, the Longevity Emperor, who had occupied the position of Heavenly Venerable for hundreds of years, suddenly sent you out to repair the teleportation array and rebuild the small Heavenly Courts in various places? Do you really think these are all coincidences?"

"..." Han Peng.

Li Ye stared intently at Han Peng and said, "Star Lord is a smart man. Is it that you can't think of these questions, or that you're unwilling to think about them?"

"I..." Han Peng opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

wipe!
You can't actually believe that, can you?

Or is it that this guy's acting skills are so superb that there's not a trace of it left? Looking at the conflicted Han Peng, Li Ye's inner alarm bells rang. Or perhaps, is there some unspeakable secret behind the Longevity Emperor's reconstruction of the Heavenly Court?
Sudden.

Li Ye felt a pang of fear rise in his heart again. He had felt this way when Zeus and the others cursed him after their deaths!

Gan!
Was it because releasing the corpses of Zeus and others attracted the attention of Gaia and the others?

The universe is so vast, how can you even locate this?
Those old folks are too sensitive!

Suppressing the tremor in his heart, Li Ye waved his hand, putting the fragments of Zeus and the others' corpses back into the Spirit Official's Token, and only then did the feeling of trembling in his heart disappear.

Li Ye swallowed hard. It seemed that the corpses of Zeus and the others couldn't be taken out casually.

The ancient powerful beings were terrifying.

Perhaps he really should find himself a powerful backer; otherwise, if Gaia and the others were to target him, he wouldn't even know how he died.

"What just happened?" Han Peng sensed something was wrong and asked.

"The Olympian gods have fallen, and Gaia and the others have been searching for their bodies. They just found this place." Li Ye said with an expression of complete familiarity.

"Why did the Great Celestial Venerable destroy the Olympian gods?" Han Peng asked the question that had been nagging at him.

"Han Xingjun, I am merely following the Heavenly Venerable's orders. Why the Heavenly Venerable did this is not my concern," Li Ye said calmly, glancing at Han Peng.

"What did Wang Lingguan say?" Han Peng changed his questioning approach.

“My master didn’t say anything,” Li Ye said. “Han Xingjun, knowing too much won’t do you any good. The reason I’m telling you all this is to ask you if you’re willing to serve the Great Celestial Venerable?”

"..." Han Peng was shocked and asked, "The Great Celestial Venerable sent you out, but why didn't he give you soldiers and generals?"

"It's not about the quantity of soldiers, but their quality," Li Ye said proudly. "I alone am capable of handling things on my own. What use are Han Xingjun's large numbers of men?"

"..." Han Peng frowned slightly, "I think you're no more than thirty years old..."

"Thanks to the Heavenly Venerable's promotion and my master's cultivation, I have already reached the Golden Immortal realm." Li Ye smiled. "Han Xingjun should know that many immortals and gods perished in the calamity ten thousand years ago. This high-level power struggle is a great opportunity for advancement. It all depends on whether Xingjun is willing to choose the Longevity Emperor or the Great Heavenly Venerable?"

He looked at Han Peng and said, "Star Lord, think it over carefully. One wrong step and you're doomed!"

Han Peng was suddenly startled. He looked at Li Ye, his mind filled with a jumble of complex thoughts. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

"Han Xingjun, from now on, you will have several fair matches with me." Li Ye looked at Han Peng and changed his fate.

"You..." Han Peng was furious, both shocked and terrified. "What do you want to do? Didn't you tell me to think about it?"

"Han Xingjun, you can do whatever you want. I'm just taking away a few of your skills." Li Ye chuckled. "Of course, if Han Xingjun remains obstinate, I don't mind stripping you of all your derivative skills."

Master said, "To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself. I cannot let down the Heavenly Venerable's expectations of me. Star Lord, next, let's see who is stronger."

"Okay," Han Peng replied reflexively.

next second.

A voice echoed in his mind: "You lost."

Subsequently, the Soul-Devouring Flame of Divine Power was stripped from his body.

Lost?

Han Peng looked at Li Ye in disbelief, knowing that Li Ye could steal other people's skills.

But to his surprise, he lost to a child who was only thirty years old in the contest of strength.

How can this be?

Wasn't he just careless and got trapped by the opponent's derivative technique?

"Star Lord, have you made up your mind?" In the first match, Li Ye took away the Soul-Devouring Flame that was going to kill him, so he was completely relieved. He smiled and continued to ask, "I have my own mission here this time, and I need some people to help me."

"What mission?" Han Peng asked.

“Next, let’s see who has the higher physical strength.” Li Ye didn’t answer him, but started a new round of competition.

The result, "You lost," echoed in Han Peng's mind once again.

Li Ye stole the skill "Heavenly Fire Refining the Heart" from him.

Did they lose in terms of physical strength too?
What kind of monster is this?

Han Peng did not doubt the fairness of the competition proposed by Li Ye. Since there was a competition, the derivative skills would not be able to deceive themselves about winning or losing. Once a derivative skill was created, it would definitely follow the rules of the game.
