Chapter 137

"I sense the Phoenix Force within you. This ancient power is immensely strong, so I must know whether you are good or evil toward this world."

What the Ancient One said was not wrong.

She is the Supreme Sorcerer; she has the right.

But Su Yi shook his head in reply.

"No need for such speeches."

"I do not wish to hear nonsense either."

"Your true purpose is to ensure I do not interfere with Shi Difen, correct?"

How could the Ancient One not know Su Yi's current temperament?

He is so lazy and indifferent.

And still needs to be judged as good or evil?

How could the Ancient One possibly fail to tell the difference?

She has another plan!

Seeing that Su Yi had hit the mark immediately.

The Ancient One pressed her lips together and nodded in confirmation.

"Shi Difen is the most crucial step in the future plan; any change could cause this plan to fail."

"I know." Su Yi looked at the Ancient One: "You want your disciple's plan to proceed smoothly."

"At the same time, you intend to destroy your own body, thereby completely breaking free from the influence of dark magic."

"Am I not right?"

In an instant.

The Ancient One's expression was blank.

Yet her heart was filled with astonishment.

She could not determine how Su Yi knew these things.

These were matters she had intended to tell Shi Difen before her fake death, regarding the consequences of using dark magic.

But why did Su Yi know them now?

The Phoenix Force...

That ability does not exist, does it?

The Ancient One fell silent for a long while.

Then she removed the hood of her sorcerer's robe.

As expected.

A mark of dark magic usage was on her forehead.

The Ancient One could remove this mark.

But once removed,

Dormammu would affect her.

Leading to irreversible consequences!

Yet what she did not expect again was

Su Yi speaking words that had not shocked her in many years.

"The reason you want to quickly train Shi Difen as the Supreme Sorcerer and then fake your death"

"is that you have two reasons."

"One is to continue observing Earth in the guise of a holy spirit, and if necessary, continue guiding Shi Difen."

"Two is that you dare not use the power within the Book of the Vishanti, because it is the last and most powerful safeguard, so you can only take a desperate gamble and use the power of dark magic."

"Am I correct?"

"Sorcerer Ancient One."

Su Yi's words

completely shocked the Ancient One, causing her to clench her fists tightly.

Even her eyes could not help but close.

Su Yi's words

had completely exposed the Ancient One's true nature!

If the current Ancient One were a villain,

then rising up immediately to kill and silence him would be a very normal thing to do.

But her identity as the Supreme Sorcerer made her calm down.

After a long while,

Su Yi sat steadily, drinking tea.

When it ran out, he poured more himself.

The Ancient One thought for a long time before opening her eyes, looking at Su Yi, and asking,

"You have spoken these things; there must be something you need done, correct?"

"Of course."

Su Yi set down his teacup and looked at the Ancient One, speaking calmly,

"As for Shi Difen, you need not worry; he will be more suitable to act as the Supreme Law than the future you saw in the Time Stone."

"As for Earth's safety, you need not worry either, for small matters do not require you, and for great matters you are insufficient."

"Even if you use the power of the Book of the Vishanti, what use is a divine book that can only defend but not attack?"

Yes.

The Book of Weishan Emperor, this divine book possesses only the strongest defensive white magic.

But it contains no offensive white magic at all.

So when facing certain powerful enemies,

the Book of Weishan Emperor serves merely as an amplifier.

What Su Yi said

made the Ancient One, a Father of Heaven, sound somewhat worthless.

But this is also a rather cruel fact of the Marvel Universe.

And the Ancient One naturally did not believe it for now.

"Are you saying I cannot protect Earth?"

Facing the Ancient One's counter-question,

Su Yi shook his head and took a sip of tea.

"If I say a Celestial is gestating beneath our feet, what method do you have to drive it away or destroy it?"

"If you destroy it, can you guarantee you can withstand retaliation from other Celestials?"

These are Celestials, after all.

What Su Yi said this time completely shocked the Ancient One.

"A Celestial is beneath our feet?"
