"The combined misfortunes of more than a hundred Heaven-Forsaken Children... sumd up?"
Ye Yun was stunned.
She did not expect the Heavenly Dao to harbor such deep hatred towards her.
It was being quite petty.
Luckily, she had only stabbed it with a sword once. If she had done it eight or ten tis, wouldn’t the Heavenly Dao focus all its resentnt on her?
However, as the old saying goes, when you have too many lice, you stop feeling the bites.
Even if she had countless misfortunes concentrated on her, Ye Yun would never be afraid.
She was not afraid of even the Heavenly Dao, so why should she be afraid of these petty troubles?
Seeing Ye Yun shocked, Li Qikong shook his head repeatedly and sighed, "Despite my unmatched talent and roaming the world freely, I can’t change the fate of your brother. After all, no matter how strong a person is, he can’t fight against the heavens."
"Why can’t one fight against the heavens?"
Ye Yun asked with a smile.
"Ah, your cultivation is still too weak. You can’t comprehend the strength of the Heavenly Dao. Even the most powerful gods are as weak as ants before it. All that exist beneath the Heavenly Dao are ants. That’s the aning."
Li Qikong gave a wry smile.
"So, my brother is... dood, isn’t he?"
Ye Yun shrugged and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"What are you laughing at? Your brother is near death, and you are still able to laugh. Truly heartless!"
Li Qikong said helplessly.
The young girl before him was becoming more and more incomprehensible. Her brother was about to die from bad luck, yet she could laugh, seemingly unconcerned about his life or death. How strange.
"My brother is tough. How could he possibly die easily?"
Ye Yun laughed heartily.
Ye Yun found her conversation with Li Qikong far from depressing. Instead, it made her feel refreshed.
Amidst the rolling dark aura, the two terrifying figures looked at each other, their eyes full of shock.
"Li Qikong, did I hear wrong? There is actually soone bearing the misfortunes of a hundred Heaven-Forsaken Children and is still alive? Does such a person really exist?"
The Red Cloud Emperor exclaid in surprise.
"Why not? This young lady’s brother is just like that!"
Li Qikong huffed coldly.
A strange expression flashed across his face. In fact, there was sothing else he hadn’t said: this young girl’s brother’s cultivation base was also extrely high, possibly at the peak of the Tenth Layer of the Eternal Realm. Maybe he had even broken through to the First Level of the True God Realm. After all, from ti to ti on the Cangnan Continent, cultivators would break through to the True God Realm.
"Li Qikong, always spouting nonsense! Haha, this emperor is very skeptical of your words!"
The Qingyue Demon Emperor crossed his arms and said coldly.
Abandoned by the Heavenly Dao, burdened with such heavy misfortune... Logically speaking, they shouldn’t have been able to live for even two hours.
"Believe it or not!"
Li Qikong waved his sleeve and looked at the two black figures in the distance. He said indifferently, "You two, if you have nothing better to do, go back and continue your cultivation. Seeing your snail-like speed is truly infuriating!"
"So what if the cultivation speed is slow?"
The Red Cloud Emperor laughed loudly. "We Five Emperors have already attained immortality. What’s the use of having such a high cultivation base? In the Gui Gou Abyss, we are all free and unfettered. Isn’t our life a thousand tis more comfortable than yours?"
Immortal? Aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue claiming such a thing!
Ye Yun’s eyes flickered, and she asked with a smile, "Old Daoist, logically, they have been living for hundreds of thousands of years. Their cultivation base must be very high, right?"
"High? My ass!"
Li Qikong retorted angrily, "Immortality in this world isn’t so easily obtained! If it were that good, I would have been just like them long ago!"
"Li Qikong, if you keep on with this shaless boasting, don’t bla us for settling accounts with you!"
The Qingyue Demon Emperor roared in fury.
"If you want to fight, then let’s fight! If not, then get lost!"
Li Qikong clenched his fists, an indomitable aura emanating from him.
WHOOSH!
Behind him, a massive shadow suddenly erged. When this colossal figure appeared, the surrounding dark aura frantically retreated into the distance.
"Void God Fist!"
The Qingyue Demon Emperor’s expression changed subtly. He sneered, "Such condensed fist intent. It seems you’ve improved again!"
"Naturally. This old Daoist has relied on the Void God Iron Fist my entire life, renowned as unbeatable across the world..."
Li Qikong raised his fist, brandished it lightly, and chuckled arrogantly.
"Alright, alright, Li Qikong, stop bragging! Qingyue Demon Emperor, and Red Cloud Emperor, you two stop dawdling here. Everyone should just go ho!"
Seeing that both sides were just engaged in a war of words, Ye Yun couldn’t bear it any longer and intervened.
She could also tell that both sides were hesitant to act for fear of unintended consequences and didn’t really want to fight.
"Li Qikong, we’ll let you off this ti. I’ll challenge you to a proper spar next ti!"
The Qingyue Demon Emperor snorted coldly, and his figure instantly vanished into the dark aura.
The Red Cloud Emperor also disappeared at the sa ti.
"These neither-human-nor-ghost-like fellows are always so troubleso. If you don’t teach them a lesson, they won’t learn their place..."
Gazing into the depths of the Gui Gou Abyss, Li Qikong gave a helpless, bitter smile.
It seed that only in front of Ye Yun did he reveal his true nature, his usually domineering side vanishing. Perhaps in his eyes, this little Divine Bridge Realm girl was simply not worth displaying that domineering side to. After all, in Li Qikong’s heart, he was still counting on this little girl to treat his hidden ailnt.
"How did these two beco immortal?"
Ye Yun asked with a smile.
"You know a fair bit, little girl, but you’re still unclear on the crucial details. Since I’ve already considered you my successor, I’ll share these unparalleled secrets with you today..."
After pondering for a few seconds, Li Qikong’s expression dimd. He sighed lightly, then suddenly waved his hand, and a restrictive barrier appeared around them.
Li Qikong said, "Both of them failed in their attempt to break through to the True God Realm. Before their lifespans ended, they entered the Gui Gou Abyss to seek the thod of Longevity..."
"thod of Longevity? Isn’t that just a load of rubbish?"
Ye Yun scoffed.
"Why would I lie to a little Divine Bridge Realm girl like you?"
Li Qikong chuckled, pointing towards the depths of the Gui Gou Abyss. He said gravely, "The Gui Gou Abyss is said to be a relic from an ancient war between the Spirits and the Dragon Clan. Many Spirits fell here. Yet, for so reason, quite a few fragnts of their Souls still linger. These fragnts contain Divine Nature..."
Here, Li Qikong paused and asked with a playful smile, "Little girl, do you know what Divine Nature is?"
"Get to the point!"
Ye Yun snapped, showing no courtesy.
This Li Qikong really loved to keep people in suspense. She felt a strong urge to take out her pile of Divine Soil Spirit Stones and smash them in Li Qikong’s face.
"Hehe, it’s normal that you don’t know..."
Li Qikong smiled faintly and said nonchalantly, "These God Soul Fragnts are the key to longevity! Before his death, the Qingyue Demon Emperor entered the Gui Gou Abyss, defeated and captured a God Soul Fragnt. His Primordial Spirit then devoured that God Soul Fragnt and abandoned his original, decaying physical body. In doing so, his Primordial Spirit body beca filled with Divine Nature. This allowed him to withstand the erosion of ti within the Gui Gou Abyss. This is the ultimate secret to their so-called immortality..."
"So, that’s how it is."
Ye Yun smiled faintly, finally understanding the cause and effect.
