Lin Xiao had just returned to Long Country and handed over the sealed right hand to the Old Celestial Master when he received news.
Something had happened in the Vatican.
Just like in the United States, people were disappearing every day.
"Good heavens, in the Vatican, can this guy really survive?" Lin Xiao was stunned when he saw the news. That was the center of faith for hundreds of millions of believers worldwide. Since there were cultivators and Qi practitioners in this world, there should also be prototypes for Western myths like Jesus Christ.
With the faith of so many people, even a mortal would become a god, wouldn't they?
Could a portion of a dark archmage, who had not yet fully grown, truly survive in a place like the Vatican?
The holy light alone would probably melt that thing away.
"The fact is, it seems their Jesus Christ has not appeared," Qi Tian also came closer, looking at the information. He pouted and said, "It's better to rely on oneself than to beg others. Are they all waiting for their god to appear and save them?"
"Who knows?"
Lin Xiao put down the information. "Since they haven't asked us for help... we won't go for now. That old Pope is quite powerful."
As he spoke, Lin Xiao recalled a chance encounter where he had a rather friendly spar with the old Pope.
At that time, he wasn't particularly strong yet, but he was still considered the best below the Ming Xin realm.
That time, he was utterly defeated.
To be precise, he and the old Pope were not separated by victory or defeat, but he had used his full strength, while the old Pope was still at ease, even seeming to help him purify the killing intent within him.
It was thanks to the old Pope that his unstable state of mind at the time had calmed down. Otherwise, before returning to Shashi, he might have been consumed by his own killing intent.
If the Vatican truly encountered any insurmountable problems, he could still intervene.
Not to mention, the matter itself was to prevent the dark archmage from merging, to prevent the situation from escalating beyond their ability to cope, and they would eventually have to go to the Vatican to help.
"Oh," Qi Tian responded casually and then looked eagerly at the Old Celestial Master, "Celestial Master, when can I use these things as materials for refining artifacts... That heart has lost its vitality, can it not be used yet?"
"Wait."
The Old Celestial Master smiled wryly and shook his head at his eagerness.
"Alright,"
Qi Tian said helplessly. He was truly impatient. As a disciple of the Artifact Sect, seeing these brand-new materials and being unable to use them felt like tickling the soles of his feet with a feather!
Torment!
Complete torment!
Lin Xiao patted his shoulder. "How about you research the information you just got from the United States first? See if you can use it for your current puppets."
"I'm leaving first. Tell me if you discover anything," Qi Tian nodded. It was indeed a good opportunity to research, and also to check if any of the information was fabricated.
If any of the information turned out to be false, he would have to go to the United States to have a good chat with those people about life.
After Qi Tian left, the Old Celestial Master slowly said to Lin Xiao, "Lin Xiao, you have achieved this much, it truly exceeds my expectations."
