Chapter 658: Dao Lord Diluo Falls
"Naturally, I must give you face; fellow Daoist, please."
This Second Uncle managed to reveal a trace of a smile, struggling to calm himself down. He looked at the clear tea in front of him, raised the cup, and drank it in one gulp.
A long while passed without anything unusual occurring, and he felt a sense of relief in his heart.
It seems there is no issue.
Yet, even so, cold sweat still broke out on his forehead, and a sense of lingering fear rose in his heart. Just a moment ago, he had thought he was going to die; he had not expected to still be alive now.
"I do not know your name, fellow Daoist, or where you come from?"
Li Heng nodded in satisfaction and asked.
"I come from the Reincarnation Era, and my name is Dixuan."
Dixuan answered honestly, not daring to speak of other things. The person before him, who could bring him here without a sound, was clearly not someone he could afford to provoke; it was better to respond honestly.
At the same time, he felt a wave of regret. Had he known this era was such a dragon's den and tiger's lair, he would not have come here in his true form. No, not just his true form, he would have left this era entirely!
He sighed inwardly, feeling that his luck was at its absolute worst.
Just a moment ago, he had thought that no matter how deep the waters of this era were, they would not reach the level of his eldest brother. But now it seemed he had been shallow and arrogant.
"Then what is your relationship with the one on the Reincarnation Giant Wheel, and why have you come?" Li Heng smiled and took a sip of tea, and at this moment, Dixuan's teacup filled up again.
Dixuan felt helpless, drank the tea in one gulp again, and spoke.
"The lad on the Reincarnation Giant Wheel is named Ditian; he is my nephew, and I am his Second Uncle. His father is the strongest in our Reincarnation Era, the Reincarnation Dao Lord, Diluo."
"I wonder if this senior recognizes him?"
He brought out his eldest brother's reputation, hoping that this Daoist, whose strength was so terrifying that he could not fathom its depth, would look at his eldest brother's face and let him go.
"Diluo? I do not recognize him."
Li Heng frowned, then shook his head.
Whether in his past experiences or what he had seen and heard in the Great Dao Space, the Reincarnation Dao Lord Diluo had never appeared.
Dixuan's expression stiffened, and the hope in his heart plummeted. Was this truly not recognizing him, or pretending not to? That couldn't be, right? This place wasn't that far from the Reincarnation Era, was it? With his eldest brother's level, his circle of acquaintances should span the entire Time-Space Mother River.
"Fellow Daoist Dixuan, you still haven't answered what your purpose is."
Li Heng spoke calmly.
At this point, Dixuan could only bite the bullet and answer.
"Following the orders of our eldest brother, the Reincarnation Dao Lord Diluo, we left the Reincarnation Era to search the Time-Space Mother River for something our eldest brother sensed. According to our eldest brother, that thing could endanger the foundation of the Reincarnation Era, so it must be found."
Li Heng nodded upon hearing this.
"It seems you have already found it."
Dixuan fell into silence, his expression blank.
He would rather not have found it. Who could have imagined that behind this thing there would be an existence with such terrifying power? It was absurd; a True Dragon of the Nine Heavens had jumped out of a mud puddle.
If a dragon isn't flying in the sky, what is it doing soaking in a mud puddle? No matter how one seeks refuge, one shouldn't do it like this, right?
"If you have found it, what do you intend to do?"
Li Heng continued to ask out of curiosity.
"According to our eldest brother's instructions, we are to either bring this thing back to the Reincarnation Era or destroy it directly, leaving no future trouble. Of course, this is our eldest brother's intention, not mine."
Facing an existence far more powerful than himself, Dixuan understood clearly that he absolutely could not lie; lying in front of a figure of this level was simply courting death. So he could only answer honestly, though after finishing the last sentence, his desire to survive surged, and he added that it was not his own intention.
"An unprovoked disaster, evil guests at the door."
Li Heng shook his head after listening and sighed.
"Please, Senior, believe me, this is truly not my intention."
Dixuan continued to say sincerely.
"I believe you are not lying. Not only are you not lying, but even your little nephew Ditian is not lying, is he?"
Li Heng chuckled.
Dixuan was confused upon hearing this. What did this have to do with that lad Ditian? As he was puzzled, the next moment a person slowly appeared at the table to his right, and just like him a moment ago, very nervously drank the tea in front of him in one gulp.
His pupils shrank instantly, and he gasped in shock.
"Ditian!"
How could this lad Ditian be here? Wasn't he on the Reincarnation Giant Wheel? Wait, could it be... His scalp went numb instantly; had he walked right into a trap from the very beginning?
Whether he entered this era or not, was the outcome the same?
He was even more horrified, drawing a cold breath in his heart. Not only was he separated by dozens of eras, but this person could ignore the protection of the Reincarnation Giant Wheel and snatch his poor nephew here?
What kind of terrifying power was this?
Could it be that this person could truly reach his eldest brother's realm?
Originally, he had felt that no matter how strong this person was, he would still be a bit weaker than his eldest brother, but now it seemed, could the two truly stand on equal footing?
"Second Uncle, why are you here too!"
Ditian, beside him, also saw Dixuan and exclaimed in shock.
He had just wanted to call for Dixuan to help, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he had inexplicably arrived here. Out of fear, he had told Li Heng everything he knew, but in his heart, he was thinking of various ways to contact his Second Uncle to escape.
And yet, his Second Uncle was here? And looking terrified?
He swallowed hard, realizing that things had become serious.
Dixuan took a deep breath and spoke.
"Senior, it is we two who had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai and disturbed you. I beg for your forgiveness, and hope that you will look at the face of my eldest brother, the Reincarnation Dao Lord, and let us two go."
Li Heng shook his head, speaking with a smile that was not quite a smile.
"Fellow Daoist, your words lack sincerity. You two evil guests came from across infinite eras to cause me trouble; why would you think I would let you go?"
"The face of the Reincarnation Dao Lord? That is of no use here."
At this moment, Li Heng did not look at these two extraterritorial evil guests, but instead gazed at the entire Great Void. Under the consumption of massive Source Power, the Great Reincarnation finally returned from total death, and after Li Heng returned the Reincarnation Core, the Great Reincarnation displayed even more powerful traits, actually radiating outward beyond the era.
Take just now, for example.
Li Heng did not intervene, yet the Great Reincarnation already suppressed the Reincarnation Giant Wheel, absorbing the Dao rhyme within it; in terms of status alone, it was already superior to this Reincarnation Giant Wheel that was capable of crushing countless eras.
However, logically speaking, this is somewhat inconceivable.
After all, in the past, the Great Reincarnation was only able to cycle through this era; it should not have had this ability. But Li Heng only thought about it for a moment before feeling that this was not unexpected. After all, the Reincarnation Core contains a Shi Dai Chang He from ancient times to the present, possessing a profound foundation; with the Reincarnation Core bolstering the status of the Great Reincarnation, it is naturally even more Gao Jue.
That is why this phenomenon has been created. It does not expand if it does not, but once it expands, it startles everyone with a single feat, and no one can rival it!
"Since that is the case, Senior, can we communicate with my eldest brother, the Reincarnation Dao Lord, and let my eldest brother speak with you?"
Dixuan asked tentatively.
Li Heng pondered for a moment and nodded, "You may."
Upon hearing this, Dixuan was overjoyed and spoke up.
"Ditian, use your Secret Technique to contact your father!"
Ditian knew the matter was urgent and did not delay; he nodded and hurriedly prepared to unleash the Secret Technique, but the next moment, he was stopped by Li Heng.
"Senior, this is..."
Dixuan exclaimed in astonishment, his heart filled with trepidation; could it be that this Senior intended to go back on his word? But thinking about it, it made sense; since he had caught the small one, how could he let the big one come to rescue the small one?
The light of hope in his heart grew increasingly dim.
"There is no need for you to do that; he has already arrived."
Li Heng smiled and spoke, and a person appeared to the left of the table.
