In the Imperial Palace of the Supreme Heavenly Dao, Zi Changluo had always felt a bit distracted. It had been a few days since then, and Gong输士盘 actually hadn’t sent any news over.
It was just as well that Gong输士盘 didn’t send any news, the several sects that usually sent him information about the Immortal World also didn’t send any news.
No, waiting like this was never a solution. If Mo Wuji didn’t have the example of beheading a Dao Emperor in front of him, Zi Changluo wouldn’t have cared too much. The point was that Mo Wuji’s battle record was too formidable, and he was able to kill even Parun. To be clear, it was him who couldn’t kill Parun either.
“Someone, go and invite Lei Hongji here.”Zi Changluo decided not to wait any longer.
“Yes.”An answer came from outside the Daodei Palace.
In less than half a pillar of incense, an extremely thick voice resounded outside, “Master, are you looking for me?”
Zi Changluo said with a warm smile, “Hongji, come in, I have some things to explain to you.”
“Yes, Master.”The tall and sturdy Lei Hongji walked in, compared to the time when he had just arrived in the Heaven on Earth with thunder light lingering around his body, at this moment, there was no longer any semblance of a thunder source aura on him.
Zi Changluo nodded with great satisfaction, “Not bad, not bad. Out of all my disciples, you are the only one with truly amazing talent. The aura of crossing over into Immortal Emperor is completely solidified, and already has the aura of the Dao of a generation of masters.”
Lei Hongji said with a respectful bend, “Master is overpraising, compared to a few senior brothers, Hongji is still far behind.”
Zi Chang Luo pointed to the opposite chair and said, “Hong Ji, you and I are called master and disciple, but in reality we are just like father and son, there is no need to be formal when you come to me.”
Lei Hongji once again gave a salute before sitting down. Zi Changluo also sat down, only after Zi Changluo sat down, he took out a teapot and placed it on a corner of the table, before saying, “Hong Ji, Master is somewhat sorry for you. Wanted to borrow one thing from you.”
Lei Hong Ji stood up once again and said humbly, “Master needs something, and disciple still say anything about borrowing or not borrowing. Just talk to disciple about it.”
After speaking, Lei Hongji took the initiative to pick up the teapot on the corner of the table and poured a cup of spirit tea for Zi Changluo to offer.
Zi Changluo took the Immortal Spirit Tea and didn’t drink it, but instead placed the Immortal Spirit Tea on the table once again and said, “Such an item is also very important to you, that’s why Master is very guilty ……”
Lei Hongji laughed, “Master please say, as long as I, Lei Hongji, have extra, I won’t care.”
Zi Chang Luo was slightly stunned, Lei Hong Ji’s words he naturally heard something wrong, what do you mean by superfluous?
“Hong Ji, I know that your spirit root is very remarkable, it should be a spirit root that can be upgraded, right? To be honest, I, Zi Changluo, have never seen a spirit root that can advance on its own until today in my cultivation. I crossed into the Dao Emperor for I don’t know how many years, and my qualification potential has reached its end, at the end of the line what I want to borrow is your spirit root ……,” Zi Changluo finished, calmly looking at Lei Hongji.
Lei Hongji didn’t seem surprised, but said faintly, “I’m afraid I can’t borrow this one.”
“Alas, it’s not up to you or me. You should be able to see that this teapot of mine is a formation base, right, it’s just that there’s no use for you to take the teapot away from the corner of the table, this place is already trapped by a trap formation that I can’t even open.”Zi Changluo sighed while standing up, raising his hand and slapping it towards Lei Hongji.
This Trapping Formation was one that he had obtained in the Heaven’s Beyond Heaven Universe, exceeding the ninth grade immortal formation, as long as it was activated, anyone other than him would be imprisoned in this Trapping Formation in terms of immortal energy and divine thoughts.
It was only when Zi Changluo’s hand was just raised that his face changed. He found that his Immortal Yuan and Divine Thoughts were filling up his body, and at this moment, he was unable to cast them out.
“You ……” Zi Changluo’s heart sank, even if he was an idiot, he knew that the situation was not right.
Lei Hongji said indifferently, “I thought you would wait for some more time, I didn’t expect you to be so indolent, too disappointing for me.”
“You knew all that?”Zi Changluo’s heart sank to the bottom at this moment.
Lei Hongji’s tone remained flat, “If I didn’t know, I, Lei Hongji, wouldn’t be able to walk today. To be honest, I still admire you. You’re the first person to fully understand what makes my Spirit Root counterintuitive, even if you don’t do it today, I’ll still do it in a few days.”
“I am your master.”Zi Changluo hissed in a low voice, he didn’t yell, he knew that yelling was useless under this trapped killing formation.
Lei Hongji shook his head and said with some disdain, “You can only be considered my fifth master, by the way, do you know how my previous four masters are?”
“How?”Zi Chang Luo subconsciously asked.
Lei Hongji slowly said, “The first master opened my pulse, he was the first to discover that my spiritual root could be upgraded, he later died. The second master was a star lord who gave me countless cultivation resources, he later died as well. The third master was the master I worshipped after I arrived in the Immortal Realm, and he had a nickname, called the Poison Sky Emperor ……”
“Poison Sky?”Zi Chang Luo’s face changed, he finally understood why he was like this, it turned out that he was poisoned. How could he not know the name of Poison Sky Emperor? This person even he didn’t dare to mess with easily. It was rumoured that this person could poison even the sky, and anyone who touched his hands would have no chance of survival.
Lei Hongji’s tone-less voice continued, ”Then he died as well, the fourth master was called Lei Gu Yun, I heard that he died a few days ago. This is also the only master that I didn’t kill with my own hands. You are the fifth, you could have waited a few more days, alas ……”
“You tell me how I was poisoned, and why you are unharmed under my trapped killing array, or I will not die in peace ……” Zi Changluo shouted sternly.
“Who said I am unharmed? As for whether you die in peace or not what does it have to do with me?”Lei Hongji suddenly grabbed a short sword from his own sleeve and walked over to Zi Changluo.
“So you weren’t able to break through my Trap and Kill Formation ……,” Zi Changluo’s eyes suddenly had an extra glimmer of hope in them, Lei Hongji was just like him, he was also without Immortal Yuan and Divine Thought right now.
The corner of Lei Hongji’s mouth overflowed with a hint of sarcasm, “I’m not like you, you’ve been poisoned by me and are weak, while I, in addition to not having Immortal Yuan and Divine Thought am still normal with a normal mortal and can move.”
“Hahaha ……” Zi Changluo laughed loudly, he was a Dao Emperor, Lei Hongji who had no Divine Mind and Immortal Yuan, even if he killed him for a hundred years he would be fine.
Don’t say a hundred years, as long as a few days time he didn’t go out, someone under him would be suspicious.
“…… “Zi Changluo’s laughter came to an abrupt end, Lei Hongji clearly had no Immortal Yuan or Divine Mind, yet the sword in his hand easily pierced into his brow, destroying his sea of consciousness, nirvana extinguishing his Yuan Shen and soul……
“What kind of sword is this?”Zi Changluo muttered, he didn’t expect Lei Hongji to give him an answer, he was thinking about his life.
He had spent his life ruling the Immortal Realm, living in the Supreme Heavens, and becoming a Dao Emperor. What scenery hadn’t he enjoyed? What things hadn’t he met.
Unexpectedly, he had died so easily, so simply. If time could be reversed, he would rather die in battle himself in the Cosmic Immortal City in the Supreme Heaven.
“The name of this sword is Tian Ji, to die under the Tian Ji Sword and me, Lei Hong Ji, you have some honour. By the way, do you want to know why you were poisoned? I helped you pour a cup of Immortal Spirit Tea that you didn’t drink only.”Lei Hongji said indifferently.
Honour? Self-mockery and sarcasm appeared in Zi Changluo’s eyes. He didn’t know how many people he had killed in his life, and how many friends around him he had assassinated. To die today at the hands of his own disciple was a sort of homecoming.
“Ka-ching!”Zi Changluo’s Yuan Shen shattered and his flesh collapsed. A drop of essence blood was grabbed out by Lei Hongji, countless dao patterns fell on top of that drop of essence blood, and in just less than an hour, a formation disc that was only the size of a palm appeared in Lei Hongji’s hands.
Lei Hongji grabbed the array disc, ingested a bead from amongst Zi Changluo’s flesh and blood, and peeled off Zi Changluo’s ring before walking out calmly.
Walking to the doorway, he carefully put up the doorway’s prohibition before saying to the void, ”My master has a temporary epiphany and needs to close his eyes for forty-nine days. Even if it’s an urgent matter, don’t disturb my master.”
“Yes.”Several voices came from the darkness.
Lei Hongji nodded his head before he walked out of the Dao Emperor Palace unhurriedly.
……
Mo Wuji explained things and had just left the Ping Fan Immortal Sect when four silhouettes stopped him. These four people who stopped him, three men and one woman, he actually recognised three of them.
Six Wheel Immortal Region’s Heavenly Emperor Gai Xing, Qing Yang, the first floor master of the Green Immortal Building. When Mo Wuji met Qing Yang back then, Qing Yang was still a Quasi-Emperor and was now at the early stage of Immortal Emperor, and the third one was the Honoured Guest of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect.
Great Kun Buddha Sect’s Honker, this guy actually dared to appear in front of himself. He didn’t go to exterminate the Great Kun Buddha Sect, not that he didn’t care, but he really didn’t have the time right now.
“Patriarch Mo!”Without waiting for Mo Wuji to get angry, the four of them clasped their fists in greeting at the same time, with the honoured guest amongst them even bowing and saluting.
Mo Wuji laughed coldly, even though the one who teamed up with Jin Yusheng, Lei Guyun, and Yi Minghu to deal with him back then was not Honker, but rather, it was the Grand Kun Buddhist Sect’s Guang Xing, Mo Wuji couldn’t get down with this. Back then, if it wasn’t for Guang Xing blocking his way, he wouldn’t have fallen into the encirclement at all.
“Three of you please wait, I have some scores to settle today.”Mo Wuji’s body was blazing with murderous vigour.
The Honoured Guest seemed to know that Mo Wuji was going to kill him, he didn’t wait for Mo Wuji to make a move, he took the initiative to join his hands and said, “Patriarch Mo, what happened back then was that my Great Kun Buddhist Sect had aroused greed. Guang Xing, as the head of a sect, actually went to do robberies. Guang Xing knew that his sins were deep and in order to not involve the sect, a few days ago, Guang Xing had already gone to reincarnation by sitting down.”
Guang Xing committed suicide? But Guang Xing committing suicide, would that make him give up on his revenge? He, Mo Wuji, hadn’t been too nice. Back then, if it wasn’t for a star button given to him by Ji Li, even if he had a Dou Dou Xing Shift and a divine body, he would still die for sure.
This Guang Xing did see the opportunity and dared to go ahead and commit suicide, which was somewhat courageous.
“Amitabha Buddha, we all know about Patriarch Mo’s grievances, it’s just that the Seven Great Immortal Domains are now at stake. Monks have the guts to plead for leniency, please also ask Patriarch Mo to put this karma aside for now.”The one who spoke was the only monk out of the four that Mo Wuji did not recognise.
