I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 291: Whetstone

Dharma Guardian Divine General!

Zhang Yuan had never heard of this title before, nor did he know that the Celestial King Hall had such a special position.

To be honest, it felt like a pie had fallen out of the sky and hit him.

In Zhang Yuan’s view, he had slain Xuan Xin and Hui Neng.

Even if it was self-defense, it was still a challenge to the authority of the Celestial King Hall.

In more serious terms, it wouldn’t be excessive to say it was a slap to the Divine Hall’s face!

The fact that the Celestial King Hall was not holding it against him was already a showing of extraordinary leniency.

Unexpectedly, Hui Zhi Chief actually wanted him to serve as the Dharma Guardian Divine General.

According to Xuan Cheng’s explanation, Zhang Yuan would essentially be ascending to the heavens in a single step, instantly moving from an outsider to a high position within the Divine Hall.

But despite his surprise, Zhang Yuan remained calm and rational.

He thought for a moment and asked, "So what responsibilities does becoming a Dharma Guardian Divine General entail?"

The higher the position, the greater the responsibility!

Zhang Yuan didn’t think this role of Dharma Guardian Divine General would be just a mascot.

Moreover, Xuan Cheng also mentioned that the previous Dharma Guardian Divine General had died in a battle with something strange.

In response to Zhang Yuan’s inquiry, Xuan Cheng unhesitatingly answered, "Becoming a Dharma Guardian Divine General requires you to write your true name, set your position, split your divine soul, and take a great oath!"

The Dharma Guardian Divine General is no trivial matter, and anyone in this position must ensure absolute loyalty to the Divine Hall.

There are many intricacies involved in this.

Zhang Yuan would not only have to clearly disclose his background, but also split a strand of his divine soul using a secret technique and be sworn to a solemn oath.

The most important thing is, the status of Dharma Guardian Divine General is granted by the Celestial King Hall and can only be relinquished by them.

One cannot separate from it on their own, or they will be regarded as a traitor.

Bound by the solemn oath!

"Forget it."

After hearing all this, Zhang Yuan shook his head and declined: "I don’t like constraints, so please convey my gratitude for Hui Zhi Chief’s kindness on my behalf."

The Dharma Guardian Divine General is formidable and respected, with high status and great benefits.

But it truly wasn’t suitable for him.

Zhang Yuan had too many secrets, and Xia Ruins was just a stopover in his life’s journey. He couldn’t possibly bind himself to the Celestial King Hall completely.

A position that others might crave and dream of, Zhang Yuan rejected without hesitation.

Xuan Cheng wasn’t surprised at all.

He understood Zhang Yuan to some extent and knew that the latter was ambitious and truly disliked constraints.

Xuan Cheng said, "Brother Zhao, have you thought it through? If you give up the position of Dharma Guardian Divine General, then the Divine Hall has no reason to help you resist the Li Family’s revenge."

Xuan Cheng wasn’t threatening Zhang Yuan, merely stating a simple fact.

In the matter of Xuan Xin and Hui Neng, the Celestial King Hall wouldn’t hold it against Zhang Yuan, just sweep it under the rug.

But the Li Family is different.

Xuan Xin was a direct descendant of the Li Family, after all.

And Hui Neng was an important figure embedded in the Celestial King Hall by the Li Family.

His status was inherently very high.

Now that Xuan Xin and Hui Neng were both dead at Zhang Yuan’s hands, as the saying goes, "the paper cannot wrap the fire", even if the Celestial King Hall kept silent, the Li Family would surely find a way to uncover the truth.

At that time, Zhang Yuan would inevitably face strong revenge from the Li Family.

The Li Family is one of the top families within the Xia Ruins, and if they swallowed this insult, their prestige would be completely ruined.

Therefore, there’s no possibility of compromising with Zhang Yuan!

Unless Zhang Yuan’s identity is so daunting that they do not dare to act rashly.

Hui Zhi Chief offering the position of Dharma Guardian Divine General to Zhang Yuan was actually a form of protection and acknowledgment for him.

But this was precisely not what Zhang Yuan wanted.

He smiled warmly and said, "Then let the Li Family come."

After learning that Xuan Xin was a direct descendant of the Li Family, Zhang Yuan had deliberately investigated the Li Family’s situation.

The power of the Li Family needs no further explanation; it is said they have one Tier Six and two Tier Five experts, not to mention numerous Tier Four masters.

In comparison, Zhang Yuan, still at Tier Four, faced a colossal entity!

From the outside, Zhang Yuan has no chance of victory against the Li Family, akin to an egg hitting a rock.

Xuan Cheng also held this view.

This mage sighed, "Then I’m afraid I can’t help you much."

The decree Hui Zhi Chief just sent back made it clear that once Zhang Yuan refused the arrangement, the Celestial King Hall and himself must completely stand aside.

Xuan Cheng could not defy the Palace Master’s orders.

"It’s okay."

Zhang Yuan said sincerely, "You’ve already helped me a lot."

This was a personal grievance between Zhang Yuan and the Li Family, and he never intended to drag Xuan Cheng into it.

He needed to solve his own matters!

Xuan Cheng nodded.

He took a plaque from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Yuan, saying, "This Guardian Token from the Outer Hall, keep it as a souvenir, or destroy it if you wish."

"Sealed within it is a wisp of your aura, which can be used to create a Tracking Talisman."

The mage pointed to a talisman originally belonging to Xuan Xin on the table, "That is a Tracking Talisman." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Zhang Yuan suddenly understood and accepted the Guardian Token.

So this token had such a function; if Xuan Cheng hadn’t mentioned it, he would have remained oblivious.

"Thank you!"

As Zhang Yuan expressed his gratitude, he also understood this was the Celestial King Hall’s way of showing a clear break from him.

"As for the other things..."

Xuan Cheng continued, "Since they are your spoils of war, they naturally all belong to you."

"Especially this Golden Light Life-Protecting Profound Talisman, you must keep it to save your life. Even if you meet Li Shenong, you will have a chance to escape alive!"

Li Shenong is the Supreme Elder of the Li Family from Xia Ruins and the only Tier Six expert in the Li Clan.

Although Li Shenong isn’t likely to personally deal with a Tier Four junior, who can guarantee that this Supreme Elder won’t disregard his reputation?

At that moment, facing Zhang Yuan would indeed be a dimensional suppression!

But the Golden Light Life-Protecting Profound Talisman could withstand a full-force attack from Li Shenong.

Hoping a Profound Talisman can win over strength is wishful thinking.

But there is a slim chance to save one’s life!

Zhang Yuan nodded silently.

Xuan Cheng rose and said, "Brother Zhao, the Li Family could come at any time, you’d better leave this place. Going to the Great Dream Marsh isn’t a bad idea, as long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!"

He had said all that he could and could not say anything more.

In fact, given the mage’s character, speaking so much to Zhang Yuan was a heartfelt conversation.

"See you again!")

Zhang Yuan saw Xuan Cheng off. After returning to Xia Ruins, the latter would continue to go into seclusion and pursue higher levels.

He wouldn’t emerge again for some time.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yuan was even more determined to remain in the West Mountain Collection!

Although the Li Family is mighty,

He himself is no weakling!

If he doesn’t even have the courage to fight, then how can he glimpse the ultimate pinnacle of martial arts?

This time, Zhang Yuan planned to use the Li Family as a whetstone.

To sharpen his will and strength!
