Chapter 887: Chapter 893: Agree Chapter 887: Chapter 893: Agree Master Zhen Yunzi’s complexion darkened, but he did not give up, for he believed that Li Zhirui was the one most likely to resolve the Demon Seed within his senior brother’s body!
He had already learned from other cultivators that Li Zhirui had eliminated Gu Insects that even powerful beings couldn’t detect from the bodies of a group of cultivators, and, incidentally, he had cleansed their flesh.
It was precisely because of this that Master Zhen Yunzi believed Li Zhirui’s Purification Principle could eradicate the Demon Seed within his own senior brother’s body.
After hesitating for a mont, Master Zhen Yunzi decided to tell the truth and said, “Fellow Daoist may not know, but my senior brother is a previous generation’s top disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and his realm has long broken through to Divine Transformation Completion Stage; it is just that he is restricted by the Demon Seed in his Dantian and has been hesitant to undergo Ascension.”
“If Fellow Daoist is able to help my senior brother resolve the Demon Seed, the entire Ten Thousand Swords Sect would be eternally grateful for your great kindness!”
Hearing these words, Li Zhirui was greatly shocked in his heart, the top disciple!
You see, the core of any power is their legacy, and while families like the Li family that cultivate may not have the title of a legacy, in reality, they also have a group of family mbers who receive key attention and training.
And the top disciple is the person amongst a group of the excellently born who is the mightiest in both talent and temperant, the big brother/big sister of this generation.
If he could really help the previous generation’s top disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect solve the Demon Seed dilemma within their Dantian, then Li Zhirui would unquestionably beco an esteed guest at the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!
The title alone was very tempting, not to ntion a large amount of substantial rewards.
Even soone as firm-hearted as Li Zhirui couldn’t help but be moved.
But soon after, Li Zhirui cald down.
The top disciple, and soone on the verge of Divine Transformation Completion Stage Ascension—the Ten Thousand Swords Sect would definitely not give up on such a powerful being, which ant that they had already exhausted all effort but still couldn’t solve the issue, demonstrating its difficulty!
Should he fail, the consequences could be unimaginable!
Li Zhirui would bear the wrath of the entire Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
With these thoughts, Li Zhirui had completely cald down and said, “I apologize, my abilities are too shallow, and I am not up to the task. Fellow Daoist should seek other thods.”
“Are you worried that should you fail, the Sect would hold resentnt against you?” Master Zhen Yunzi saw Li Zhirui’s concerns and sincerely said, “Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist, even if it truly ends in failure, no one will bla you…”
“Because Senior Master Dao Tong’s life is nearing its end, and he is about to pass away.” Master Zhen Yunzi’s expression was desolate, his tone forlorn.
Logically, a Nascent Soul cultivator’s lifespan is two thousand years, and with the Ten Thousand Swords Sect considering two hundred years as a generation, Master Dao Tong shouldn’t be facing the end of his life so soon.
But that Demon Seed embedded in his Dantian had caused him imnse harm and had forcefully depleted several hundred years of his lifespan!
Li Zhirui furrowed his brows, weighing the pros and cons in his heart, ignoring Master Zhen Yunzi’s earnest, pleading gaze. After a long while, he finally spoke and asked, “Do you know of the Killing Sword ridian’s Master Zhengjing?”
“Master Zhengjing?” Master Zhen Yunzi didn’t understand why Li Zhirui suddenly brought up this elder of the Sect who was younger in age than himself.
Within the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, there were several different Sword Veins, with the Killing Sword ridian being the most unique, imposing rigorous demands and adhering to a single lineage for its transmission.
Because of this, the ridian often had no successor and required the Sect to step in to seek out an inheritor, thus leading to seniority being highly respected within the Killing Sword ridian.
“She is actually a mber of my Li family, her true na being Li Zhixuan, and she’s my cousin.” Li Zhirui asked, “May I know how she has fared these years?”
“Master Zhengjing is your cousin?” Master Zhen Yunzi couldn’t help but be stunned, but in the next mont, a surge of excitent flowed through his heart.
With this familial relationship, the likelihood of persuading Li Zhirui to take action was even higher!
As for why Master Zhen Yunzi had no doubt about the veracity of these words, it was naturally because telling such a lie would benefit Li Zhirui in no way, whereas it was advantageous for Master Zhen Yunzi.
“Your aunt has exceptional talent and has already successfully broken through to Divine Transformation. Speaking of which, she has been engaged in battles near the eastern region’s coastal waters; has she not returned?”
If Li Zhixuan ca to the Wanxian Sea Area, maybe Li Zhirui would have agreed!
“Has Zhixuan also broken through to the Divine Transformation?” Li Zhirui felt extrely gratified; his judgent back then had indeed been correct.
Just at that mont, Li Zhirui’s storage ring suddenly trembled slightly. When his Divine Sense probed inside, he found that the Jade Token of the Sound Transmission Array had been activated.
Zhixuan has returned! Hurry back!
“How truly coincidental!” Li Zhirui hadn’t expected the situation to develop with such serendipity, as if all was being orchestrated by so invisible hand from behind.
Could it be that destiny itself intended for to try to resolve that Demon Seed? Li Zhirui thought to himself.
He glanced at Zhen Yunzi and said, “Zhixuan has returned; I must take my leave first.”
“I also wish to pay a visit to Master Zhengjing.”
Li Zhirui did not stop him.
Two streaks of Spirit Light soared into the sky; in just a mont, they landed on the soil of Wanxian Island and then flew to the mountaintop Cave Mansion.
The Laws mastered by different people varied; the Spirit Realm was not suitable for receiving guests.
Especially for Li Zhixuan, who practiced the Sword Tao of Slaughter and necessarily mastered the Life-slaying Laws, she could not stand the Purification Principle.
“Jiu!”
Behind Li Zhirui, Li Zhixuan also saw a Nascent Soul Cultivator wearing the Taoist Robe of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
“The junior of the Zhenyi Sword Vein, Zhen Yun, greets Master Zhengjing.”
“No need for formalities.”
Li Zhixuan’s gaze shifted between the two, and she quickly deduced the matter between them.
“Are you here because of Master Dao Tong’s issue?”
“Master has discerning eyes! It is indeed for this reason that I have co to visit Mr. Li Zhirui.”
In Li Zhixuan’s presence, Zhen Yunzi naturally couldn’t call her clan brother Li Zhirui a Fellow Daoist, but based on strength, she couldn’t call him Senior either, since both were in the Middle Stage of Divine Transformation.
After receiving a confirming answer, Li Zhixuan said directly to Li Zhirui, “Jiu, if you’re not busy and think it’s possible, why not embark on the journey with us to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?”
“Oh?”
Li Zhixuan didn’t hide anything, “To resolve Master Dao Tong’s calamity, the Sect has promised a very generous reward, allowing one to personally select five Spiritual Objects from the inner treasury and to propose three reasonable conditions to the Sect.”
Most powers would divide their treasuries into several layers, with the outer treasury holding a large number of frequently used Spiritual Objects, such as various Spiritual dicines used for Alchemy; the inner treasury, on the other hand, held the precious Spiritual Objects.
Being able to select any five Spiritual Objects from those kept by the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, most of which were Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, was indeed very generous.
Not to ntion the latter part that allowed proposing three conditions to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!
Jiang Fengwu, Da Qing, and the others nearby listened in a fog, not understanding the significance.
They only knew that sothing from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had brought them seeking Li Zhirui.
“Most importantly, Master Dao Tong’s life span is nearly at its end. After he resolves the Demon Seed, it won’t be long before he begins his Tribulation Transcendence. Jiu, you can take this opportunity to closely observe and gain so experience for your future Ascension.”
“Good! I will join you on a trip to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!” Li Zhirui finally agreed.
