Chapter 1029: Chapter 24: Magnificent and Aboveboard—Grandmaster? Human Emperor? Overlord?
When the Western Regions are pacified, there should be further transformation.
Once the southwest is subdued, and the montum carries downward to connect with Jiangnan, what kind of tamorphosis could occur from the continuous montum?
As for unifying the Nine Provinces and reforging the Nine Cauldrons, could that perhaps offer a glimpse into the legendary realm?
However, these are rely external matters.
Li Guanyi sat cross-legged, with his hands resting on his knees, overlooking the vast expanse of the Western Regions from the small mountain top he shattered with a punch, feeling his spirits lifted, a surge of grandeur rose within him:
“I wonder when the world will be unified, and the Four Seas will be at peace.”
“The boundless Western Regions, I hope the people of Jiangnan co here, without crossing any borders, simply as if studying abroad within their own country.”
The nine-colored Divine Deer stood by, watching the young man sitting cross-legged.
Dressed in Western Region scale armor underneath, with a brown robe outside, he sat cross-legged between heaven and earth, gazing into the distance. Suddenly, he took a deep breath and said, “May the world be at peace!”
“May there be no wars in all directions, may the world be in great harmony!”
“May our descendants not have to wield weapons for conflict.”
“May everyone be like dragons!”
“May there be no more slaves in this world!”
The young man’s clear voice reverberated here, each word filled with grandeur. The nine-colored Divine Deer thought of the changes in Aqini City and couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed. During its trance, Li Guanyi had already stood up, lifted his sword, his clear eyes smiling as he said:
“For this, Li Guanyi is willing to fight all my life.”
“Never betray.”
“Even if it’s like a moth to a fla.”
“This will shall not die.”
The nine-colored Divine Deer was montarily lost; Li Guanyi raised his hand, pressing on a stone beside him, leapt into the air, and with the sword in hand, gazed into the distance. The blue sky mirrored in his eyes as he said: “Though the Western Regions are vast, they are sparsely populated. To connect the two lands, this Dangxiang is needed.”
“In the Central Plains, there’s playing chess, gasmanship.”
“Even if you’re a top master or an ordinary expert, giving a three-stone advantage can make playing difficult, possibly even leading to defeat. Observing the world through chess pieces, you see that everywhere in the world is a struggle with no room to retreat.”
“The Dangxiang Kingdom—I will contest for it, Erlang’s father might also vie for it.”
“The Wolf King will surely fight for it.”
“Among us, even without hatred, no one would give up.”
“Everyone has dreams, everyone has great aspirations, why should you be above ?”
“At this juncture, words are insufficient; we can only rely on swords.”
“So battle!”
“Elder, your spirit seems quite injured. You’ve helped this ti, and it’s been taxing. You must rest well to heal…”
The nine-colored Divine Deer replied: “The poison of Fei no longer affects much; the rest were injuries from the Wolf King’s Military Evil Qi.”
“That thing is considered a form of worldly Qi Fortune. In this era of great turmoil, with endless strife, such Military Evil Qi cos from the zenith of prowess. Who in the world knows not of the military?”
“To recover fully, it likely requires other imnse Qi Fortune to replenish.”
“You aim to forge the Sacrificial Vessel of humanity; the Qi Fortune cannot be used on my body.”
The nine-colored Divine Deer comforted Li Guanyi, hoping he would focus on the Great Tao, not wavering his foundation for her. She stated that such a being as herself, though injured, would heal in a century or so.
“Human Qi Fortune?”
Li Guanyi suddenly smiled: “I seem to actually have a solution.”
The nine-colored Divine Deer’s voice was gentle: “Child, human Qi Fortune should be used for people. Even a monarch should not misuse it, for to use the minds and spirits of all living beings for oneself is to be a tyrant.”
Li Guanyi said: “By chance, this thing is considered a spoil of war.”
The young man pulled an object from his bosom.
He placed it in front of the nine-colored Divine Deer, and it had a mysterious Qi Fortune, floating in the air. It was a pure white, radiant pearl, whose divine charm was clear and majestic.
The nine-colored Divine Deer’s expression froze, her voice stamred.
“This, this is…”
“From the Dangxiang Kingdom.”
“Indeed, the pearl beneath the white snake of Dangxiang Kingdom’s national fortune.” Li Guanyi originally intended to see if the Nine Cauldrons would burn this thing, but it seed the Nine Cauldrons didn’t consu just anything, leaving Li Guanyi sowhat regretful.
He noticed the thing had substance; to sell it, he was reluctant.
So he had to keep it.
Thinking soday it might be useful, it looked valuable!
The nine-colored Divine Deer’s voice was a bit stiff: “That White Emperor was…”
The previously clear and fervent youth lowered his eyes, his hand resting on the sword hilt while the wind lifted his sleeves and coat, smilingly answered:
“He was killed by .”
The nine-colored Divine Deer felt a shock in her heart.
On the youth’s body, the previous clarity rged with an invisible pressure at this mont, and one side of those eyes reflected sunlight, the other side reflected rain.
Truly the Emperor of the Central Plains.
The blend of kingly dominance.
The nine-colored Divine Deer gazed at Li Guanyi and asked: “You say, in this world, are you the player at the chessboard?” Li Guanyi looked at the nine-colored Divine Deer, smilingly said: “No, I’m not a player, I’m the first chess piece.”
Li Guanyi stepped forward.
Li Guanyi descended from the mountain, sleeves billowing fiercely, laughing:
“I am the first, the pawn crossing the river!”
“Heaven and earth gave birth to in this world, to inaugurate this first venture.”
“If I perish!”
“The followers are endless!”
Boom!!!
Li Guanyi’s sleeves rolled violently, stepping into the air. As a Grandmaster, he could temporarily fly using martial arts techniques, consuming a lot but with utter freedom; the previous majestic intent, authoritative air dispersed, leaving only a youth.
Li Guanyi’s spirit was clear and serene, the nine-colored Divine Deer watched him and said:
“…Red Dragon.”
“This ti, you have won.”
“You have finally convinced .”
The nine-colored Divine Deer swallowed the pearl, soaring into the sky, following after Li Guanyi.
On this day, Li Guanyi stepped into the Seven Heavens.
Called Grandmaster.
Only a grand and magnificent battle separates him from becoming one of the top thirty renowned generals of all ti.
In a ti when all was to be rebuilt, Changsun Wuchou returned.
Bringing with him what Li Guanyi and Aqini City most needed!
