Chapter 1202: Chapter 1196: What Do You Want To Know
[Special Event — Intercepted Descendants]
[On the day disaster struck Azure Cloud Prefecture, your descendants in the Western Frontier—Li Tianqi, Li Tianming, Li Changsheng, and Li Changyao—prepared to return to Azure Cloud Prefecture to assist, but were intercepted by a maze array for seven days and were forced to retreat to the Golden Toad Divine Palace.
Your descendants faintly sensed the shadow of the Peerless Hall.]
…….
“Bitch.”
This trick of intercepting his clansmen and having forces preemptively stationed in Grandhaven Prefecture—Li Wei could figure out with half a brain who was playing tricks behind the scenes.
At the same time, Li Wei’s heart skipped a beat.
“Which means, the Peerless Hall is actually cooperating with the Empress?”
“But why on earth is that bitch in the Golden Throne Room so determined to drive our Li Clan to our deaths?”
Li Wei furrowed his brows deeply.
He racked his brains but still couldn’t figure out Wenren Xianyi’s goal.
If it was simply because the Azure Cloud Li Clan had developed too rapidly and threatened the Imperial Dynasty, that reason was far too far-fetched.
Neither the Human Emperor nor Min Youguo were afraid; at most, they would just try to scheme against the Li Clan a bit.
Anyway, everyone was accustomed to scheming against each other—so much so that they almost formed a friendship through it, always allowing some leeway in their actions.
However, Wenren Xianyi’s sudden intervention, with her far too ruthless approach, changed the dynamic.
Furthermore, the Li Clan’s most crucial trump card, the Southern Frontier, wasn’t even taken seriously by Wenren Xianyi.
She seemed to wish the Wu Tribe would invade. It was simply bizarre. Sometimes, Li Wei truly felt that Wenren Xianyi was a spy for the Wu Tribe.
“So where does the problem lie?” Li Wei scratched his chin.
He was somewhat planning to go ask her personally, while also calculating the gains and losses.
Lost in this thought, two days passed, maintaining the exact same posture.
“…”
Amidst his thoughts, Li Yaoqing came to report, “Old Ancestor, the little Nirvana thief has spoken.”
Li Wei’s eyes lit up brightly.
After this battle, he had too much he wanted to ask, especially knowing that the Empress and the Peerless Hall were cooperating.
…
Arriving at the main hall, Li Wei was slightly taken aback.
The cradle was still the same cradle, and the infant inside was still squirming.
In mid-air, however, the previously extraordinary figure of the Nirvana Sage Elder had appeared.
He just lacked his former majesty.
His soul had been summoned out and was subconsciously scratching its back—presumably, the soul was reacting to the physical body’s itching, making for an incredibly bizarre sight.
Standing in front of him was Li Zhiheng.
After this great battle, Li Zhiheng had acquired the [Soul-Holding Lamp].
Coupled with his intrinsic [Heavenly Dao Divine Heart], these two items were simply a perfect match for manipulating souls.
Speaking of which, Li Zhiheng’s technique [Inner Soul World] shared origins with the zombie ‘Soul Duke’ in the Underworld, as he had cultivated many of the Soul Duke’s techniques.
But cultivation methods and techniques in the cultivation world varied.
The same thing cultivated by a different person would yield another kind of usage.
Cultivators often made their own adjustments based on the original methods and techniques, bining them with their own spiritual roots, bloodlines, and spiritual entities.
If one did not know how to assimilate external things for their own use, they could never make progress.
“Is Zhiheng aiming to cultivate in the direction of illusion and souls?” Li Wei raised an eyebrow slightly.
Seeing Li Zhiheng being less and less affected by the Heavenly Dao Divine Heart, he also felt somewhat gratified.
Having reached his current realm, he also understood that the Zhao Clan’s Old Ancestor had previously relied on the Heavenly Dao Divine Heart to cultivate ‘Devouring Heaven and Luck’—right now, the corpse of the Zhao Clan’s Old Ancestor was still inside Dalong’s Heavenly Coffin.
That Dao path was good, but it would inevitably lead Li Zhiheng down the path of ‘eating descendants’ and ‘stealing karmic luck’.
That was an untrodden Dao path, and also a dead end.
Cultivating illusion and souls, although requiring exploration and accumulation without the assistance of predecessors, was still better than a dead end.
Furthermore, Li Wei also felt that the method of using the [Soul-Holding Lamp] to extract the little Nirvana’s soul was extraordinary.
The Nirvana Sage Elder saw the Azure Cloud Li Clan members surrounding him.
Having already fallen to this state, what did he have to fear? Seeing the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor arrive, he instantly exuded a surge of heroic pride. “Shameless…”
“Boom!”
Li Wei instantly waved his hand, slapping him silly. The soul flew into the wall.
In a flash, he arrived in front of the dazed Nirvana Sage Elder, grabbed his soul by the throat, and said helplessly,
“Old thief, how old are you? Grow a brain. Look at the state you’ve fallen into now. Don’t you know how to play the coward? Don’t end up in a state where you wish for death.”
“To tell you the truth, if you weren’t still useful, I would have soul-searched you long ago. You wouldn’t want to finally manage a rebirth only to end it in vain, would you?”
“Think carefully about the Wu Tribe members who, when you were down on your luck, wanted nothing more than to kill you. By the way, your current body is…”
“Human Race.”
The Nirvana Sage Elder looked down in horror at the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor, who was enveloped in black mist.
Beneath that black mist lay an unimaginably cunning and sinister face, and his hoarse voice sounded like a devil’s.
“You could also bee a member of the Demon Tribe or a Ghost, or even a pig, dog, cow, or horse.
Since my Yaowen could make you reincarnate into Azure Cloud Prefecture, he has plenty of ways to deal with you.”
“Right now, you only have one choice: obey obediently.”
Behind them.
The Seven Ironclads let out highly untimely ‘Jie jie jie’ sinister laughs.
Coupled with Li Wei’s increasingly dark face, the Nirvana Sage Elder looked as if he had lost his parents. “What do you want to know?”
“I want to know what you and Min Tiange were fighting over in the Western Frontier back then. And his Dao…”
