Chapter 503: The Inter-World Seal

"What is it, are you unable to make up your minds? Too afraid?"

Li Heng said with a smile that was not quite a smile.

The two of them felt awkward at once, revealing expressions of sorrow and bitterness.

They were indeed afraid.

"Lord Imperial Teacher, may I ask if there are any other methods?"

After hesitating for a while, the two of them asked with thick skin.

They dared not cultivate it, yet they also dared not deny it; regardless of which they chose, in their eyes, it was no different from being a traitorous subject, so they could choose neither.

"None."

Li Heng answered dismissively with a smile.

Naturally, as long as one's power is strong enough, anything can be erased; if Li Heng were to act, he could naturally help the two of them erase their memories regarding the Heavenly Emperor Scripture.

But because of their refusal just now.

He no longer had the mood to act.

This...

The two of them looked at each other repeatedly, both falling into silence.

"Alright, since you have the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, then cultivate it properly. If you don't want to cultivate it, you don't have to; just let it sit in your mind, don't look at it, and it won't have any effect."

Li Heng said to the group.

As for Guangnan Heavenly King and Bai Laotou, to tell the truth, even if the memories regarding the Heavenly Emperor Scripture still existed in their minds, given their mindset, they could not cultivate the Heavenly Emperor Scripture anyway.

Guangnan Heavenly King and Bai Laotou sighed upon hearing this.

They did not know if Li Heng could do that.

But they also knew that this was the only way. After all, with their strength, they could not erase the memories regarding the Heavenly Emperor Scripture at all; they could only temporarily block it in a corner of their memory.

Compared to these two.

The reactions of the Little Golden Dragon and Shaoyang Jun were much more proactive.

After all, they could be considered the younger generation, young and vigorous; upon encountering this Supreme Scripture named the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, how could they let it go?

If Heaven gives but one does not take, one instead suffers the blame;

If the time arrives but one does not act, one instead suffers the calamity!

If the Little Golden Dragon still had some misgivings.

After all, he was also from the Heavenly Court and still held some reverence for the Heavenly Emperor.

Shaoyang Jun, however, had eyes flickering with excitement; if it weren't for the fact that the occasion here was not suitable for switching cultivation arts and practicing the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, he probably would have immediately gone into seclusion to meditate and cultivate.

He did not covet the so-called position of Heavenly Emperor.

But Li Heng had just said that the dead could be resurrected by cultivating this technique, which happened to be able to help him, helping him turn death into life and reappear in the Present World with an independent, living body!

Based on this alone, he would cultivate it without hesitation.

Everything was for the sake of moving forward, to struggle and cross over! As for other hidden dangers, potential traps, or the schemes hidden by the Heavenly Emperor, he did not care; he would seize the present first!

"Oh right, Shaoyang Jun, contact Wujian to come over."

Li Heng looked at Shaoyang Jun and said calmly.

Shaoyang Jun was stunned upon hearing this, realized what was happening, and nodded hurriedly.

"Yes."

He marveled in his heart that Wujian's hidden move could not be hidden from Li Heng after all. Immediately, his mind stirred, and a Rune floated out from his heart, which then unfolded and manifested into an array.

Li Heng watched this scene calmly.

From the very beginning, he knew that Wujian's purpose would not be that simple; letting Shaoyang Jun come with them to the Heavenly Court could not just be for the sake of fulfilling Shaoyang Jun's obsession.

The deeper reason was still for this place.

Wujian's scheme was likely to rely on this Descent Array to cross the Void, ignore the obstacles on the way, and descend directly to these Heavenly Court Ruins.

The expressions of Guangnan Heavenly King and Bai Laotou changed.

They sensed a strange aura from this array, which was extremely similar to a Calamity, yet had subtle differences. But regardless, this seemed to be related to a Calamity!

What is going on? Is the person beside the Imperial Teacher summoning a Calamity?

"Do not be anxious, stay calm."

Li Heng spoke calmly, soothing the two of them.

It could be seen that the two were die-hard loyalists of the Heavenly Court.

Soon, through this array, Wujian's aura spread over; the hazy mist grew thicker and thicker, constantly rolling and surging, evolving into various scenes of hell, looking extremely Inauspicious.

Guangnan Heavenly King and his companion became nervous.

Is this really okay?

They sensed that something was coming across the Void.

Soon, as these mists began to gather and evolve into a human shape, containing various hellish illusions upon its body, Wujian's will descended here.

"Fellow Daoist Li, we meet again. But how long has it been? Your cultivation has already advanced to this degree; I can no longer see through your depth."

Wujian's will exclaimed.

"Just a meager level of Dao, not worth mentioning."

Li Heng shook his head and said calmly.

The crowd was speechless upon hearing this; what a "meager level of Dao"—if you count as meager, what are we? Not even having a level of Dao? Just mortals?

"Fellow Daoist Li is too modest. I wonder what important matter you have for calling me here?" Wujian had already learned through Shaoyang Jun that it was Li Heng who called him, and asked.

"To make a deal with you."

Li Heng smiled slightly.

After reaching the Shengsheng Cengci, he was finally able to see the true strength of Wujian clearly: it was Sacred, yet not Sacred.

Within the scope of the Wujian Road, the power of Wujian might be called Sacred, but outside the Wujian Road, it had to be lowered by one tier, and could only be said to be infinitely close to Sacred.

Just like certain Saints of the Heavenly Dao.

However, this was also within his expectations.

"A trade?" Wujian was somewhat surprised.

"Did you not have Shaoyang Jun come with us for this very reason? As Wujian, your fundamental duty is to imprison those monsters and Calamities within the vast Wujian Hell."

Li Heng said calmly.

"But after I descended here, I did not sense the aura of any monsters or Calamities," Wujian said in confusion.

Just as Li Heng had said.

Its fundamental duty was indeed this; having Shaoyang Jun come to the Heavenly Court was, in reality, done with the intention of investigating just how many Calamities and monsters were entrenched in the Heavenly Court, to facilitate the next step of its plans.

Yet now, it did not sense any Calamities or monsters.

"You naturally cannot sense them. Because they have all already been sealed within a certain plane; in a sense, this also counts as being imprisoned."

"Was it that Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court who took action?"

Wujian asked in surprise.

"That is correct, but this seal is actually not very secure; something went wrong before, and it nearly all burst open, which is why I called you over."

Li Heng nodded and raised a hand.

A Rune hovered above his palm; this Rune was exactly the one he had obtained in that spatial interlayer. And this Rune had only one function, which was to serve as the key to the seal.

This was also the reason why he had previously said this thing was dangerous and why it was no wonder the Heavenly Emperor would hide it; after all, if one were not careful, it could cause the seal to break open completely, and at that time, Calamities would run rampant.

"Then what do you want me to do?"

Wujian continued to ask.

"I want you to accommodate this seal."

Li Heng said calmly.

Given the strength of Wujian, this was naturally not enough; what he had his eye on was the Strange essence of Wujian, and the identity of Wujian as that bizarre experimental subject, Jiuhao!
