Chapter 278 Trial
Chapter 278 Trial
Li Wuxiang remembered that he and Zhao Xi had stayed in this stone chamber for many days. At that time, he could not figure out whether Zhao Xi was a victim or not, but now, he could see clearly.
Zhao Xi's situation was almost exactly the same as when she asked the Ninth Young Master to possess her body - her soul was attached to her skin, and under the skin was the Golden Chanel and Zhao Kui hidden inside.
"Lord Siming is here just like you and me." Li Ye said in his mind, "We know he is here, and he also knows we are here, so he has the same idea as us and is still waiting."
"So now, what do you think this Siming Zhenjun will do?"
Li Wuxiang did not answer him immediately because he was still thinking about his previous question and Li Ye's silence and disregard.
"Have you been teaching me things all along? Li Ye, are you going to die?"
"If I answer you yes or no, I will really die. Have you forgotten the wish I just told you?"
Li Wuxiang was shocked and immediately restrained his mind, no longer thinking about what the future would be like. This was difficult to do, so he could only speak immediately and not be distracted: "According to what you said, he is very popular, so if he came to the world... would he be stronger than Du Tian Siming? Although his upper limit is not as high as his, he will become stronger quickly?"
"Correct."
"...If I were Jiang Jie, I might have chosen to start with Siming Zhenjun instead of Dutian Siming."
Li Wuxiang felt that he could almost feel Li Ye nodding. He felt that his perception of Li Ye was becoming clearer and clearer, as if he was an invisible person standing beside his mind.
"Your idea is good and practical. But Jiang Jie has been the number one in the world for a long time, so he will be arrogant. When an opportunity comes, he will want to ascend to the top in one step. Besides, if he doesn't become the Siming of the Heavens first, he can't become the Siming Zhenjun."
This made Li Wuxiang's heart jump: "... Is it possible that this is what Jiang Jie wants? Siming Zhenjun?"
"Yes. I asked Jiang Jie to knock my incarnation down to become a true immortal. This might be a plot he set for me. But the struggle between spirits is like this - when you flip the tides and manipulate cause and effect, you can't have everything under control. Until the last moment, it's hard to say who will win or lose."
"But there is one thing that you can rest assured about. Siming Zhenjun is a True Immortal, and Dutian Siming is a Golden Immortal. They both have the same origin and cannot exist at the same time. Therefore, Siming Zhenjun dare not leave the Wanhuafang at this time - once he goes out, if he does not dissolve on his own, the first one to deal with him will be Dutian Siming."
Li Wuxiang was silent for a moment: "So... now it's clear. He knows we are here, and we know he is here."
"Moreover...if Du Tian Siming comes here to find him now, will he help us deal with Du Tian Siming?"
"Correct."
"Couldn't he just get on Zhao Kui's body and leave directly?"
"It's Zhao Xi. Zhao Xi is a mortal, but your skin is priceless. I travel back and forth with the help of your Yin Spirit. He should have known that you are extraordinary, so he wants you."
"But in the end, I survived—"
"The Golden Chanzi is alive. As for whether the person inside the Golden Chanzi is Li Wuxiang or Sima Ming Zhenjun, it's hard to say." "Then if you kill him here..." Li Wuxiang stopped talking after saying this.
He understood what Li Ye meant. If Li Ye won in Yedu, he would have enough energy to come here to deal with this Siming Zhenjun.
And if Dutian Siming wins, then this Siming Zhenjun will become Dutian Siming's number one opponent, and he himself will become insignificant for the time being.
Therefore, Li Ye wanted to place this Lord Siming here. He would become a huge threat to Lord Dutian Siming and even become his own shield.
Therefore, he and "Si Ming Zhen Jun" had to stay in this stove until the two golden immortals decided the winner. Siming Zhen Jun was waiting for the winner to be announced, while he——
"You want me to keep an eye on him here and wait for the right opportunity like him."
"Yes. He is a newly born True Immortal. There is no need for offerings here. There is no incense, and he cannot use the authority of the God of Heaven for the time being. If he wants to deal with your Yin Spirit, you can possess your own body. Although your body is now a mortal body, you are a Nascent Soul Yin Spirit. When you come to the present world, even if he possesses Zhao Kui's body, the chances of you winning or losing are still fifty-fifty."
"And what he wants is your body, so he will wait until the outcome between me and Dutian Siming is decided, and then he will give it his all at the last moment. You and I understand this, and he will understand it too - I taught you these things, so I am your master. Just treat this fight between you and him as a test. If you can survive this Wanhua Fang, you will be a successful master."
"...You are going to return to your karma."
"Correct."
"You told me before that all Yangshen cultivators can create an incarnation, so you can do it too... but in fact, you can only send me here? You asked him to kill those people in Yedu before, just to send me here and protect me? Was it because of me that he stripped you of so much authority?"
"Hahaha. If you had asked me this in the past, before I became enlightened, I might have said yes. But now, you don't have to think so. What are Youjiuyuan and Yedu? They are also Jiang Jie's dojo. He has been the leader of Taiyi Sect for more than 300 years, and his foundation is also in that dojo. I have said before that the way he seized my authority was to make people regard their faith and worship of me as his own - so the more he kills in Yedu now, the fewer people who once believed in and worshipped him in the cause and effect. He is destroying his own foundation, do you understand? But if he doesn't destroy this foundation, I am afraid he will not be able to defeat me in Yedu."
"Okay, I understand."
It's just that the trial... It sounds like Li Ye has it all figured out, but Li Wuxiang feels that Li Ye is becoming more and more like a person, with more and more human emotions. He thinks this is not a good thing, and thinks that this "trial" is because Li Ye can no longer fight with Yedu at the same time in Wanhuafang, so he has to hand over the important responsibility to himself.
After losing a lot of power in Yedu, he seemed to have become extremely weak... Everything he said and did now seemed to be paving the way for himself.
Li Wuxiang couldn't help but say in his heart: "Li Ye, take care of yourself——"
But there was no response in the divine mind.
Then he saw himself pushing open the door of the stone chamber - a mighty, scorching wind rushed in, and his body froze.
Li Wuxiang was also stunned - what he saw were still the burning giant trees, the rolling fire clouds, and the raging sea of fire that filled the sky and the earth, but he recognized it... What he saw was the Great Tribulation Mountain!
