Chapter 789

The feeling of being watched vanished, and deep in Li Rui’s gaze, a faint ripple finally stirred.

Fate came just like that.

He had always intended to join the Three Pure Ones Sect with his avatar, to give his One Qi Manifests Three Purities form a new origin and secure greater opportunities.

Those with the ability to enlighten are almost all Dao Lords.

The Dao Lords of the Three Pure Ones Sect are no cabbage—they wouldn’t casually be encountered by a mere Division Soul cultivator, and even if encountered, the gap between mere meeting and receiving enlightenment is far greater.

Dao Lords can indeed enlighten, but it consumes their own Dao power; they cannot abuse it lightly. Even their own sect members fight fiercely for it, let alone someone like him, an outsider.

He had noticed the anomaly in that man’s body the very first time he met Tianxuan Wang.

How could a prince of the Shenxu Immortal Dynasty have a Three Pure Ones imprint embedded in his soul? It was clearly suspicious.

The Dao Lord of the Three Pure Ones Sect had acted with exceptional subtlety.

He had even deceived the Dao Lords of the Shenxu Immortal Dynasty.

Only because the imperial court’s primordial status was high enough could the traces be detected.

That was why he had gone along with it, to repay that Dao Lord with a favor.

Next life.

It was time for old Li to enjoy the privileges of being born a heavenly prodigy.

“Dead?”

Deep within the Ascension Platform, Dao Lord Ganxin furrowed his brow.

When he left, Tianxuan Wang’s soul was severely damaged, but far from dead—how little time had passed, and now his soul was utterly scattered.

Even the possibility of reincarnation had been erased.

The white-haired elder beside Dao Lord Ganxin also furrowed his brow.

He too had learned of Tianxuan Wang’s death.

The white-haired elder swiftly calculated with his fingers.

Losing one Tianxuan Wang was not a major matter in their eyes, but whether some Dao Lord had secretly struck at the Shenxu Immortal Dynasty must be investigated—any hidden threat must be eliminated.

After about an incense stick’s time, he finally spoke: “That old bastard Xuanying dared use his [Moon in the Mirror] on our Shenxu imperial clan.”

Upon hearing the name Dao Lord Xuanying, Dao Lord Ganxin’s face darkened instantly.

If he wasn’t mistaken.

Dao Lord Xuanying had almost certainly coveted Tianxuan Wang’s destiny of purple qi filling the court.

As is well known.

The Three Pure Ones Sect has long been at odds with the Shenxu Immortal Dynasty, but for Dao Lord Xuanying to lure one of their imperial clan members was to touch the dragon’s scales—retribution was mandatory.

Otherwise, the Three Pure Ones Sect might think they could press further, scheming even against Shenxu’s True Lords or Dao Lords.

But not now.

The six Dao Lords of the Shenxu Immortal Dynasty all fixed their gazes on the space rippling like water waves a thousand li away.

They were waiting for one person—Huanglong Dao Lord.

Dao Lord Ganxin certainly understood the principle that even a lion must use full strength against a rabbit.

He would never be foolish enough to face Huanglong Dao Lord alone.

So today, he had not come alone—he had brought seven Dao Lords of the Shenxu Immortal Dynasty.

He had a deal with Huanglong Dao Lord.

Huanglong Dao Lord taught him the method to activate the Ascension Platform, and in return, Huanglong Dao Lord could use the Ascension Platform to leave Tianwaitian.

The deal was done, no debts remained.

Now Dao Lord Ganxin wanted the Immortal Dao primordial source in Huanglong Dao Lord’s possession.

All Dao Lords knew.

To ascend the Ascension Platform, the Immortal Dao primordial source was indispensable.

Rather than fighting to the death with outer realm demons in a secret realm for a sliver of Immortal Dao primordial source, it was far more practical to simply capture Huanglong Dao Lord.

Thus, the Shenxu Immortal Dynasty deployed its core resources, using karmic calculation to determine Huanglong Dao Lord’s place of rebirth.

But just as all the Dao Lords were poised to strike—

The nearly formed spatial vortex suddenly collapsed in a roar.

“This is...”

The white-haired elder of the Shenxu Immortal Dynasty furrowed his brow, then swiftly calculated with his fingers.

After a full quarter-hour,

he finally spoke: “Huanglong has carved a passage with destiny—he is no longer within the Ascension Platform’s secret realm.”

Dao Lord Ganxin’s eyes burned as if spitting fire.

There was no doubt.
