Chapter 1257: Using Reason to Subdue Wakizashi
“Heaven and earth have if wood, and day and night pin down the life of the living.”
“There is no reincarnation of life and death, only longevity remains ……”
Li Ping was not startled by the sudden appearance of Ruogi, instead, he slowly chanted under his breath without any hesitation. At the same time, he turned around and looked straight at the oldest tree in this Xuan Huang Heavenly Earth.
Ruo Mu, on the other hand, surveyed the Faceless Saint Emperor, a trace of doubt flashing through his pale eyes.
Li Ping’s next words, however, caused the lines on Ruo Mu’s face to wrinkle deeply.
“Your entire creation was originally a gift from heaven and earth. If there was no Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao to favor you, the so-called [Ghuan Huan Heng Yuan] would be nothing more than an ordinary tree.”
“The Heavenly Dao suffered a peril, and you didn’t rise up to fight and live in the world ……”
“It was you who betrayed the Xuan Huang Heavenly Dao first, not Heaven and Earth who abandoned you first.” Li Ping didn’t have any semblance of sympathy and sneered nonchalantly.
The look on Elder Ruomu’s face froze as if it was frozen, solidified and unmoving.
On the other hand, the ancient wood body not far away was floating slightly with its branches and leaves. The countless cultivator fruits hanging on it followed suit and shook continuously.
“Rising up in resistance? The Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao has been suppressed, so what can I do? Instead, it’s you, cultivating with the body of a cultivator and swallowing the Heavenly Dao. Saying these words, don’t you feel ridiculous?” Ruomu gazed at Li Ping for a long time, failing to see the other party’s bottom line.
However, the cultivators of the world were more or less the same.
In addition, Li Ping’s aura that belonged to the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, Ruomu still made a judgment and retorted.
Just words to ridicule, but did not directly move.
It is not that Ruomu suddenly changed his nature, his temper changed for the better, but ……
Really can’t fight.
Although it didn’t actually show it, in fact, the spiritual sense in Wakagi’s heart was frantically signaling an alarm. As the oldest spiritual creature in the heavens and earth, Wakagi’s intuition had already reached a metaphysical point where it was almost capable of peering into possible future scenes.
Wakagi was very sure that if he fought with this uninvited guest. Then the one who would fall would definitely be himself.
And the pressure on the other party that was even stronger than the Everlasting Habitat cultivators he had seen before made Ruomu even more sure of his judgment.
Not bad. Today’s Wakagi was already sick and broken. But it was still alive after all.
Certainly wouldn’t kill himself.
“What is wrong with me taking back my own things?” Li Ping no longer suppressed and released the breath of the devoured Xuan Huang Evil Thought.
“This is?!” Ruomu’s mind was immediately shaken.
He was naturally able to distinguish the difference between the fragmented laws that had been devoured and absorbed by the cultivator, and the complete Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao.
But, how was this possible?
“Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Father?” This thought flashed steeply through Ruo Mu’s mind, but it was quickly dismissed by him.
Even if he had lost most of his might, the deep connection with the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao was still there. If a new Great Heavenly Father succeeded him, it was impossible for him to be unaware of it.
“Taking back what is his, could it be the Heavenly Dao itself?” Ruo Mu thought so with some difficulty in believing it.
This guess was a bit unbelievable, but it was the most realistic.
It was currently uncertain, but that didn’t stop Wakagi’s attitude from steeply changing.
“What is the purpose of your visit here?”
Li Ping, on the other hand, naturally voiced his intention to take back Wakagi’s power.
Without waiting for Ruomu to react, Li Ping changed his words, “When the Heavenly Dao was in danger, the Xuanhuang Ancient Objects saw death and turned a blind eye to it. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao instinctively took back your power.”
“Although there are external forces that help the Heavenly Dao to recover, but this recovery process has not been suspended. One drink, one peck, everything is predetermined. There is no need for you to hold a grudge.”
“I am here to end it once and for all.”
Li Ping’s sight once again looked towards the heavenly, decaying ancient tree.
As well as the countless Jindan cultivators sinking above it.
“However, it seems now that you did not do nothing. Even if it was a drop in the bucket, you did make some effort.”
From Li Ping’s body, golden majestic power violently erupted.
A giant golden palm appeared in an instant near Ruogi’s main body. One of the cultivator fruits on the treetop was gently plucked off.
With a gentle pinch, the cultivator’s body immediately flew into ashes, leaving only a mutilated golden dan remaining in the air.
Li Ping’s action of picking his own fruit did not cause Ruomu’s mind to fluctuate in the slightest.
Only in his eyes, a hint of relief flashed instinctively.
“Do you think that the cultivators of the Xuan Huang Realm today are at fault?”
The Frying Life Space was quiet for a little while, then Li Ping suddenly asked.
“And more than wrong? I can’t wait to turn all of these ungrateful people, one by one, into fruits for an eternity of torture.” Ruo Mu finally gritted his teeth and responded.
“The cultivators of heaven and earth are certainly wrong. But the source of the conflict between them and heaven and earth is the essence.” Li Ping, however, spoke out very calmly.
“Why do cultivators swallow heaven and earth? But it’s just because that’s the only path they can take. The root of everything comes from that Heavenly Father of Transmission.”
Li Ping’s voice continued to echo, and Ruo Mu could not help but fall silent.
This truth was clear to anyone.
But what could be done about it?
The Transmission after the Reason of Reversing Heaven and Earth was too strong, even the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao itself could not resist it. Not to mention the living beings in the Xuanhuang Realm.
“I wish to set things right, kill the Transmission of the Law and return the Dao to Heaven.”
“Are you willing to help me?”
Li Ping’s cold voice reached Ruo Mu’s ears.
If anyone else had said this to Wakagi, Wakagi would have laughed, then made it into a fruit and hung it at the very top of the treetop, mocking it day and night.
However, the one who now put down such grandiose words was the vaguely possible incarnation of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao ……
This caused Wakagi to be at a loss for a moment as to how to respond.
Wakagi knew clearly that if he chose no, then a great battle between the two sides was bound to be inevitable.
Not to mention who is strong and who is weak, let’s just say that this is where his own body is located, if the big battle is retaliated here.
Even if he can win, but also absolutely is again heavily injured, from completely broken will not be long.
However, being subdued by a word, Wakagi’s heart has a hundred unwillingness.
“Your decline, besides your own injuries, is also related to the Heavenly Dao breaking.”
“If you defect to me ……”
Li Ping took a step forward and his figure shattered. Enhanced by the golden light enveloping his body, his three zhang three body instantly swelled tens of thousands of times, almost becoming the same size as Ruomu’s own body.
One hand was pressed on top of the trunk of the Wakagi tree.
“Boom!”
In the Wakizashi space, a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the dim and dead sky.
The reflection of the Xuanhuang Realm emerged in the vortex.
Greenish-green breath was drawn out from the vortex and slowly floated towards the dying Wakagi.
“This ……”
Ruo Mu excitedly straightened up his originally somewhat stooped back, his eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.
He felt that the heavenly favor that had been slowly passing away for thousands of years had returned to him for the first time!
Li Ping was right, his entire creation was all from the Xuan Huang Heavenly Favor.
Without the Heavenly Dao’s nourishment, he was like wood without a root, water without a source, slowly drying up and falling into chronic death.
However, at this moment, the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao unexpectedly broke through the heavens and re-infused some of its power.
Even though it wasn’t the power of life and death that he was familiar with, it still made him thrilled and revitalized.
The withered yellow Ruogi body, its branches and leaves, from top to bottom, all trembled drastically.
There were quite a few cultivator fruits that fell from above and shattered into pieces. Only leaving behind broken, differently glowing jindans, lying quietly on the ground.
Silky greenness appeared from Ruomu’s body.
A few strands of tender green new shoots had suddenly sprouted from the branches, and the entire aura of the ancient wood changed.
Just as Ruomu was enjoying, as if mesmerized, the vigorous vitality that he had not felt for a long time ……
The golden giant that Li Ping had transformed into suddenly removed the palm that was placed on the tree trunk.
The vortex above Wakagi suddenly disappeared.
The greenness that fell from the sky was also like a bubble, turning into a starry green light that drifted everywhere with the wind. It just didn’t fall on Wakagi. “No!”
Amidst Wakagi’s wailing, the buds that had just been born also withered and faded in an instant.
From the top of the tree, it slowly floated down.
“I want more!”
“Give it to me!”
The Ruomu Elder incarnation erupted with a shockingly hostile aura.
It glared viciously at Li Ping.
And then, after seeing the other party’s empty face, as well as his extremely cold aura, Ruo Mu instantly calmed down again.
The ferocious expression was frozen on his face, not daring to make the next move.
Li Ping also just quietly stared at the other party.
The scene was quiet and a little weird for a while.
Until the fading yellow leaf, which happened to fall above Li Ping, was gently reached out and taken out by him.
Only then was the silence broken by Li Ping.
He spoke the words that had just remained unfinished, “Just as you have seen and experienced for yourself.”
“If you lose your way and come back to my side. It may not be impossible to return to the time when you were at the peak of the ancient world.”
Wakagi’s expression was clearly shaken.
Dying and suffering for thousands of years, now it is not easy to enjoy the taste of youth for a moment, and then let him give up ……
How could he do that?
“I know that you suffered a heavy blow in the ancient times, and your core power was robbed of most of it by the cultivators.”
“But today’s Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao is not what it used to be.”
“If you can restore the complete handle power, it is definitely only stronger and not weaker than it was back then.”
Li Ping continued.
“I have given a month’s consideration time.”
“At that time, I will come back.”
Li Ping did not push Wakagi too much and made a decision instantly.
After leaving only these words, he fluttered out of sight.
This was the space that Wakagi dominated, yet Wakagi didn’t even notice exactly how the other party left.
Without the outsiders, this place returned to the same dead silence it had been for thousands of years.
Wakagi squinted his eyes, constantly reminiscing about the taste of life he had just experienced.
Comparing it to today’s situation, a feeling of disappointment could not help but emerge in his heart.
……
The Great Enlightenment of the Holy Dynasty.
In the Holy Emperor’s Throne.
Li Ping, who had returned, gave his holy order at the first opportunity.
Once again, he assigned some of the Psi Clan to turn to the function of the Sea of Darkness and used it to pacify the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao.
“In today’s state, forcing the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao to instill power into Ruomu still has some impact.”
“Even if it’s just a tiny bit ……”
“In addition to the gap caused by devouring the Xuanhuang Evil Thoughts before, it’s also somewhat related to Ruomu’s identity.”
“After all, in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, these Xuanhuang Ancient Objects of theirs are no different from traitors.”
Li Ping slowly pondered.
This time, the operation was not considered to be without merit.
Ruomu, who had tasted the marrow, would definitely not refuse Li Ping’s request.
It was just a matter of giving him some time to make a decision.
As for why he didn’t choose to force his hand, like treating the Xuanhuang Evil Thoughts in general, devouring them directly …….
Li Ping had his own concerns.
“It is different from the Xuanhuang Evil Thought that has been individually divided and sealed for a long time. Although Ruomu is in disrepair, it is after all an ancient object that has existed since the beginning of Xuan Huang.”
“The Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao created it, and it became a fixed part of the Xuanhuang Realm. If it is naturally drawn back into favor by the Heavenly Dao and decays and dies, it might still be able to avoid turmoil.”
“But if I take the risk of devouring it, for one thing, it will cause other eldritch powerhouses in this realm to be alerted.”
“For two, perhaps the abnormality of the Xuanhuang Realm will cause the Heavenly Father of Transmission of the Law, who is far away on the other side of the Star Sea, to become aware.”
Li Ping did not care about those five Heavenly Sovereigns of the Five Elders Association.
However, he had to consider the existence of the two Transmitting Laws and Heavenly Healers.
“Right now, it is not yet the time to truly confront them.”
“Just wait a little longer.”
Li Ping’s patience was abundant.
It was believed that in less than a month’s time, Ruo Mu would take the initiative to contact him.
Until then, he still needed to try to reverse some of the relationship with the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao before that.
Some more existences that were abhorrent to the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao had surfaced in Li Ping’s eyes.
……
Nine Mountain State.
The border between the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association.
Sun Erlang easily passed through the defenses of the borderline of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and entered the territory of the Five Elders Association.
“The treasures passed down by Master Teacher are truly marvelous, this Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s formation, can be broken almost instantly.”
Sun Erlang carefully surveyed his surroundings.
“It seems to be no different from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.”
“But Master said that there’s the power of the Heavenly Dignity’s Reverse Reason enveloping the entire realm here, so it’s better to keep a low profile.”
A sketchy map appeared in his mind, and after slightly recognizing some directions, Sun Erlang concealed his figure and sped away.
Following the Faceless Saint Emperor’s instructions, he headed straight for the Realm of Truth.
“I don’t know, how exactly can I meet this [Real Heavenly Father]?”
Sun Erlang pondered as he flew away.
With the formations and secret techniques passed down by Li Ping to conceal his aura, no one was able to discover him along the way.
When he was very close to the Real Country, a strange image nearby attracted Sun Erlang’s attention, making him slow down.
A giant flying boat with an unrealistic feel suddenly appeared in the sky.
From the flying boat, more than ten cultivators wrapped in armor flew out in unison.
They were holding odd magic weapons while still shouting.
“This is it, quick! We can’t let the other squads get ahead of us!”
They flew above a jungle on the ground, and the spell weapons in their hands blossomed with beams of different colors in unison.
As the beams locked on, a snow-white ape suddenly appeared in the jungle, letting out an earth-shattering roar.
Sun Erlang’s pupils shrunk.
Because this demonic beast was so skillfully hidden, he hadn’t even been able to sense the other party’s aura before.
And even now, the Great Ape was in the middle of a battle with that group of cultivators.
Sun Erlang also didn’t sense any aura of living beings from that demonic beast’s body.
