Chapter 295: The Salvation Plan

Li Heng stepped out from the gate of the All Saints Secret Realm.

Lei Jie and Yu Fuhai were stunned at the sight; so fast?

Generally speaking, one would stay in the All Saints Secret Realm for at least a month.

"Senior, did you gain anything?"

Yu Fuhai asked with some nervousness.

He hoped that Li Heng could obtain a great opportunity, as this would be equivalent to repaying the favor he owed Li Heng, allowing him to request that Li Heng take action to completely purify his Pollution.

Li Heng nodded, "I did gain a little something."

"However, I would like to ask you both, by what means did you open this All Saints Secret Realm?"

The two were stunned upon hearing this, their expressions strange.

Isn't that obvious?

Didn't you just see how it happened a moment ago?

But in Yu Fuhai's heart, Li Heng was, after all, a senior powerhouse of profound strength; what was wrong with having a strange temperament? He hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, "The opening of the All Saints Secret Realm relies on the Heavenly Human Law and Reason left behind by that old dog, the High Priest."

Lei Jie nodded, correct.

"Then, which faction did that High Priest belong to?"

Li Heng inquired.

"Which faction? I remember telling you before, Senior." Yu Fuhai scratched his head, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"I don't remember, tell me again."

Li Heng replied calmly.

Yu Fuhai nodded thoughtfully and could only speak again. "That old dog, the High Priest, had no faction; he only became High Priest and the like by relying on a tiny bit of his own luck."

"But this old dog was truly bold; with no backing behind him, he actually dared to scheme against me. He must have gone insane."

Li Heng nodded and said nothing more.

This Correction Force is truly simple and crude.

After erasing all traces of Zhu Zi in time and space, that Correction Force did not turn the High Priest into another faction, but simply made him have no faction at all.

How should I put it? Was it within expectations?

At this moment, Lei Jie's telepathic message rang out.

"Companion, how was the harvest? You visited suddenly before, saying there was a great opportunity in the All Saints Secret Realm; I wonder if you have obtained that great opportunity?"

Li Heng raised his eyebrows.

Is this a fabricated memory on Lei Jie's side?

He smiled and replied via telepathy.

"Naturally, I obtained it. How about it, do you want to see?"

"If you, Companion, wish for me to see it, I naturally want to, but if this involves the True Gospel and the arrival of the Promised Land, I think it is better to keep it confidential."

Lei Jie replied seriously.

Li Heng shook his head; this was boring.

Looking at Lei Jie, who was not on guard against him, he reached out and gently patted his shoulder. The Taiyuan Scripture within his body surged violently, his cultivation erupted, and the Sun True Fire directly engulfed Lei Jie.

Caught off guard.

Lei Jie did not even have the chance to react; in that moment of being stunned, he was obliterated by Li Heng's methods.

Only then did Yu Fuhai react, his expression stunned.

"Senior, what are you doing!"

He was shocked; although he did not like this man surnamed Lei and felt that he was not of the same path as the Hundred Saints Academy.

But at present, he was still a Void Saint of the Hundred Saints Academy, yet he was suddenly killed by Li Heng's strike; this was somewhat unjustifiable, right?

"Do not speak, look."

Li Heng chuckled, pointing at the remains of Lei Jie being scorched by the Sun True Fire. A mass of black liquid, constantly churning and rolling while emitting an Inauspicious and eerie aura, floated within the flames.

Yu Fuhai was dumbfounded at the sight.

What is going on here?

This kind of eerie thing originated from within Lei Jie's body?

How could the aura of this thing be so similar to the curse he was infected with? Lei Jie was, after all, a Void Saint of their Hundred Saints Academy; why would such a thing appear inside his body?

"Do you still think he is your Void Saint now?"

Li Heng chuckled.

Yu Fuhai shuddered.

He realized that a major problem might have occurred!

"Senior, how many people have had this situation occur?"

"Those who broke through to the Dharma Aspect after the Heaven and Earth Mutation."

Li Heng replied.

Instantly, Yu Fuhai gasped.

Although he had been prepared for this possibility, it was still unbelievable and hard to accept now that it had been confirmed and spoken by someone else.

As a Heavenly Human, he knew some information.

Ever since the Heaven and Earth Mutation, there had been rumors circulating that one must absolutely not break through to the Dharma Aspect during this period, otherwise there would surely be a great Disaster and great calamity.

When this news first appeared, many factions were very vigilant, but as time passed, some factions became lax. For example, their Hundred Saints Academy felt that it just meant an increase in the casualty rate of breaking through to the Dharma Aspect, but that it was still possible to break through.

But now it seems that is not the case at all!

This really will result in the appearance of some kind of eerie thing!

"Senior, did Lei Jie die a long time ago?"

Yu Fuhai swallowed hard.

"Perhaps he died, or perhaps he didn't. In any case, you only need to know that the one appearing in this situation is no longer his original self."

Li Heng answered calmly.

His wings were now fully grown, so he did not worry about others finding out about these matters, and he could not allow Yu Fuhai to let this news spread wantonly with his big mouth.

"Are there no exceptions?"

Yu Fuhai harbored a shred of hope.

"Theoretically, unless I intervene, or another power comparable to the Great Sun appears, there are no exceptions."

Li Heng shook his head and said.

At this moment, Yu Fuhai completely abandoned the hope in his heart.

A sense of relief also faintly rose within him.

Fortunately, only Lei Jie had broken through to the Heavenly Human level and become a high-ranking authority in the Hundred Saints Academy, and he had been killed by Senior before he could take action. Moreover, other geniuses who had broken through to the Dharma Aspect level had not yet reached the Heavenly Human level, so they were still under control.

Otherwise, the entire academy would have been overturned.

At this time, under the intense burning of the Sun True Fire, that mass of black liquid which had held out for so long finally could not bear the burden, and was slowly burned into nothingness by the Sun True Fire.

And at this moment, Li Heng had received the notification that Source Power had been credited.

Source Power +200,000.

Li Heng looked at Yu Fuhai again.

"It seems you have already reached a decision in your heart!"

Yu Fuhai nodded.

"It seems the Hundred Saints Academy must be purged once more. However, with such a large-scale operation, I expect the other old fellows will have to come out of seclusion."

Li Heng nodded.

"Suit yourself, but I will remain in the Hundred Saints Academy for a period of time; if you have any matters you cannot handle, you may call for me."

Having said that, Li Heng's figure vanished.

Yu Fuhai was shocked in his heart.

Senior was indeed a being as elusive as a divine dragon, mysterious and unfathomable; he had not even perceived the method by which this Senior had departed.

Collecting his thoughts, he took a deep breath and looked down at the Hundred Saints Academy below him, his expression complex. Subsequently, a flash of light appeared beside him, and a Token floated into his palm.

He tapped the Token with his finger, and invisible ripples spread outward.

"Old fellows, it is time to come out of seclusion; something major has happened!"

On another plane of the Present World, in a place of dark and obscure Void.

Li Heng stood here, yet it was as if he were in the infinite, looking down from on high at Yu Fuhai's various actions.

There were two reasons why he had not left immediately.

First, he wanted to seize the time to see just how mysterious this Mysterious Jade Slip in his hand really was, and whether it could allow him to gain enlightenment. Second, he wanted to use Lei Jie's death to test the reaction of that Promised Land organization, to facilitate his subsequent hunting.

From Lei Jie.

He could see that this organization had great potential.

The potential to let him harvest large amounts of Source Power.

He withdrew his spirit.

Li Heng refocused his gaze on the Jade Slip in his hand.

This Jade Slip was as unremarkable as when he first saw it, and his Divine Sense could not probe into it at all to spy out its mysteries. However, this was a cliché; after all, things like Divine Sense and spiritual consciousness were useless at critical moments.

But he did not rely on Divine Sense to investigate things.

He relied on the Great Identification Technique!

The current Identification Function was still somewhat low-level, remaining at the Dharma Aspect level; he should upgrade it first.

However, he now had as much as 600,000 in Source Power, and according to Li Heng's estimation, upgrading to the Heavenly Human level only required 100,000, so he did not need to worry too much about the consumption of Source Power.

With a thought, Source Power burned, and the Identification Function upgraded again.

However, this upgrade did not bring about any special changes; the Data Panel was exactly the same as before, with no changes, as if only the numerical values had jumped.

Li Heng thought about it and felt this was not strange.

The gap between Dharma Aspect and Heavenly Human seemed like a chasm, but that was because Heavenly Humans borrowed the infinite power of Heaven and Earth; in terms of essential difference, it was likely very small.

Coupled with the fact that this Identification Function might have already reached a plateau and was still a long way from the next tier, it was not strange that no earth-shattering changes occurred.

He cast these distracting thoughts to the back of his mind.

He focused his gaze on the panel of the Identification Function.

【Salvation Jade Slip: A product of the Salvation Plan, containing research results of several Salvation Plans, aimed at bypassing Pollution and reshaping the World with higher-specification power.】

Li Heng frowned; it was truly a brief passage.

It would have been better not to identify it; identifying it only made him more confused.

What was the essence of this Salvation Plan? Who were the people or the organization that proposed the Salvation Plan? And what was that higher-specification power?

He thought for a moment and directly added 200,000 Source Power for an upgrade.

According to his estimation.

This 200,000 Source Power should allow the Identification Function to jump a short distance; compared to the Heavenly Human Realm, it would be a jump of one minor realm.

He wanted to use this method to determine if there was any need to continue upgrading the Identification Function; it would be laughable if he poured in all his Source Power and still could not identify anything of substance.

The Identification Function upgrade was completed instantly.

However, it was a pity that there were still no changes.

【Salvation Jade Slip: A product of the Salvation Plan, containing research results of several Salvation Plans, aimed at bypassing Pollution and reshaping the World with higher-specification power. Unfortunately, it failed at the final hurdle, and this Jade Slip drifted to the lower reaches of the river, facing an impending end of destruction.】

Li Heng frowned.

It seems there is no need to continue upgrading for now.

Judging by the current information and Source Power, it is impossible to identify the true origin of this Mysterious Jade Slip at all.

There are still 300,000 Source Power left, which cannot be squandered recklessly.

However, the newly appeared information mentioned the downstream of the river.

This made him associate it with what the figure said before...

His mind suddenly began to wander, associating it with many possibilities.

Soon, he shook his head again to cast these distracting thoughts away.

It seems he must find an opportunity, or use some Source Power, to let his perspective completely escape this World and see the situation and location of this World.

If it is truly as he thought.

If this Heaven and Earth has reached the end of that downstream, reached the edge of the waterfall, and is about to fall into the Abyss, then that would be ridiculous.

He was not in a hurry to comprehend the Salvation Jade Slip.

He wanted to use the Identification Function to identify the Universal Status he had not been able to get a result for earlier, to see if he could gain anything.

Soon, information emerged once again.

【Universal Status: Within the Great Void, world rules differ, and the underlying foundations are different; it is difficult to apply the power of one world to another. But in the untraceable past, there were Heavenly Humans who appeared in the Great Void, creating the concept of Universal Status for the exchange and development of the various worlds. Those with Universal Status are not restricted by general world rules and also have a buffering effect on harsh world rules.】

Li Heng nodded slowly; so that was it.

This also aligned relatively well with his guess.

But who was this Heavenly Human who summoned the concept of Universal Status? Are they still alive now? But if they are alive and possess such great power, how did they let the Void go dark?

Li Heng could not help but speculate again.

But soon, he shook his head again.

Time is urgent now, so he cannot worry unnecessarily; he must seize the time to comprehend this Salvation Jade Slip. Even if he gains nothing after comprehending it, he still has to go and attend to other matters.

Having made up his mind, Li Heng's mind settled down.

This Salvation Jade Slip floated quietly in front of him, emitting a misty light and a profound Dao rhyme...

On the level of the Present World, inside the Hundred Saints Academy.

At the highest point of the academy, in a magnificent great hall.

On both sides of the great hall stood seven humanoid statues.

And these seven humanoid statues do not represent just anyone; they are the Half-Saints currently alive within the Hundred Saints Academy, the Sea-Stabilizing Needles of the academy.

Yu Fuhai stood in the middle of the statues, silent, waiting.

Soon, these statues, which were clearly just stone and dead silent, suddenly came to life. However, the aura of each statue was slightly different; some emitted an aura of weapons and slaughter, some emitted the scent of books and scrolls, and some manifested a set of rules...

But beneath their differences, they had one thing in common.

That is, their state was not very good.

Although compared to those below the Heavenly Human realm, the vitality of these statues was as bright as the scorching Sun, but for a normal Heavenly Human, this was merely the sunset of the evening.

"Yu Fuhai, why did you contact us urgently?"

"Didn't we say it before? Unless the academy faces an existential disaster, you are not allowed to contact us, even if you die. Moreover, our state is not good either."

The statue emitting the scent of books said.

"Since you have said so, you must know the purpose of my contacting you. The Hundred Saints Academy is indeed suffering an existential disaster."

Yu Fuhai stood with his hands behind his back and said slowly.

"Oh, who dares to provoke our Hundred Saints Academy? Could it be that the Zhuzhu Dynasty has come to attack us?" asked the statue emitting the aura of slaughter.

Other statues also raised their own questions.

Yu Fuhai shook his head.

"It is none of these."

"Then what exactly is it?"

Some statues, some Half-Saints, were becoming a bit dissatisfied.

They could not waste their time on trivial matters; they were all at a critical moment now, and if they could not withstand the Pollution, they would die immediately.

Yu Fuhai did not delay time either.

He laid out everything that happened before, one by one.

"Look."

He projected an image, and in the image, the Sun True Fire was continuously burning that mass of black liquid.
