Chapter 727: Blood Pressure is High

"The Great Void needs you?"

Zhongjie Daozhu frowned, feeling this statement was utter nonsense. Although he was only a wisp of a remnant soul and his memories were incomplete, he was very clear about what a transcendent existence the Great Void was.

It could even be said that even as Dao Lords, they were still a level lower in the face of the entire Great Void. If the Great Void were to give birth to a will, it would be a supreme existence.

How could such a Great Void need the help of others?

Not to mention that this person was incredibly weak, not even as good as a Dao Lord.

Just as he was about to speak up to deny Li Heng's muddled words, he was suddenly stunned, vaguely sensing that something was indeed wrong with Li Heng at this moment. This wrongness seemed to come from the surrounding Great Void; the surrounding Great Void seemed to be centered on Li Heng?

Or rather...

Li Heng seemed to have received a tiny bit of favor from the Great Void?

There was a faint sense of him bearing the Void Destiny!

But how was this done? He did not see the principle behind it and only felt it was inexplicable. Furthermore, why would an Outer Path practitioner of the Transcendence Path receive favor from the Great Void?

What he found most bizarre was that the state of Li Heng was highly contradictory; on one hand, he was vaguely being suppressed and repelled by the Great Void, while on the other, he was being favored by it.

What was going on? Did the Great Void have a split personality?

But the Great Void didn't even have a will, so where would a personality come from?

"It seems you have already realized it."

Sensing the change in expression on Zhongjie Daozhu's face, Li Heng smiled and spoke. He wasn't lying; the Great Void really did need him, as he could provide things the Great Void craved.

"How on earth did you do it?"

Zhongjie Daozhu asked in astonishment.

He even had an urge to dissect Li Heng to see what factors could cause the favor of the Great Void. Although this favor was only a tiny bit, for an individual living being, a tiny bit of Great Void favor was enough to be called infinite!

"How I did it is another matter. Now, I should have proven that I have the qualifications, right?"

Li Heng smiled.

Zhongjie Daozhu was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I have to say, what you have done is indeed beyond my expectations. If nothing goes wrong, you, an Outer Path person, also have the qualifications to bear the Void Destiny."

He clicked his tongue in secret; being able to receive the favor of the Great Void was something many experts who practiced the Great Void Path longed for, yet now it was happening to an Outer Path person?

Although as a former Dao Lord, he did not need these things.

It still made him very concerned.

Was this a matter of Li Heng personally, or had the era changed, and the Great Void had also become different?

"Since you already know I possess the qualifications, shouldn't you lift some restrictions? For example, letting me enter the Shikong Jintou directly without needing to go through the so-called Final Battle?"

Li Heng continued to ask.

"No. You don't have to participate in the Final Battle, after all, you are currently the strongest in the Zhanchang. But to enter the Shikong Jintou, one must still gather five Supreme beings. As for the reason, it also has to do with what is inside the Shikong Jintou."

"Just as you said earlier, the Zhanchang is for screening players, and then letting the players challenge the boss. And this boss happens to have many restrictive conditions, one of which is that there must be five people. And these five people cannot be clones, but truly independent living beings; otherwise, let alone entering, you would be courting death if you did."

Zhongjie Daozhu spread his hands, indicating that he was also helpless.

"Oh, is that really so?"

Li Heng showed a look of suspicion. Was this reason too ridiculous? He seriously suspected that this Zhongjie Daozhu still didn't trust him and was fooling him.

"That is indeed the case; there is no point in lying to you. So, you killing those people earlier was purely because you were too impulsive. If you had let them live a little longer, you could have entered the Shikong Jintou now."

Zhongjie Daozhu said with a smile.

For some reason, he always felt this Outer Path person was too pretentious; now that he could see him get frustrated, he felt a bit happy?

"This might not be a bad thing."

Li Heng smiled mysteriously. Even if he had the qualifications to enter the Shikong Jintou right now, he wouldn't go in directly. His current strength wasn't enough to enter; it wouldn't be exactly courting death, but at the very least, he would return empty-handed. Why go in then? It would be better to improve himself first.

"Forcing five people, then I'll just create two more Emperors."

He muttered to himself, thinking for a while.

This matter was not difficult for him, but to save some Source Power, he needed to think of a good method.

"Don't think of this as easy. In this era where Dao Lords no longer exist, the so-called Emperor cultivation is already the peak. How could they appear so easily? Just wait slowly."

Zhongjie Daozhu shook his head.

"Is it really that scarce? The Great Void is vast and endless; perhaps in some era, there exist beings even more powerful than Emperors." Li Heng replied nonchalantly.

"That is indeed possible, but unfortunately, I am only a Dao Lord remnant soul and do not have the far-reaching power of a Dao Lord, so to attract these powerful beings, I can only rely on luck."

"When you came to the Zhanchang before, didn't you peek at that Light Gate and see my clone? I am now so helpless that I need my clone to step out; don't count on me to do much else."

Zhongjie Daozhu shook his head.

"It seems that mysterious person really is you? But speaking of which, I previously encountered a mysterious person who carved their own mark at the Time-Space Source Point between every era, saying 'I was here'."

"They even left some things at the Shikong Qiyuan and the end."

"Is that mysterious person you?"

Li Heng continued to ask, wanting to verify the answer.

"It's not me, I don't know them. I'm not that bored to leave my mark on the Time-Space Source Point. However, it might be some of my old friends, or perhaps top experts of this era's Great Void who are capable of reaching the Dao Lord level."

"Only then would they dare to say they left things at the origin and the end."

Zhongjie Daozhu continued to shake his head in denial.

"Then can you track down a trace of clues? The Shikong Jintou is under your jurisdiction now. Someone left their things on your turf, and you can't detect it at all?"

Li Heng frowned.

"I am only a Dao Lord remnant soul, not a Dao Lord. Don't think of me as so Omniscient and Omnipotent. What if that mysterious person you mentioned is indeed stronger than me right now? I have no way to deal with that either."

Zhongjie Daozhu indicated that he was giving up.

"Alright then, I won't ask you anymore. These Runes are for you." Li Heng threw the Dao Lord Runes in his hand to Zhongjie Daozhu. Anyway, he had already imprinted the essence of these Runes with Source Power; it was no loss to him.

And this Ultimate Dao Lord was so indifferent, not caring at all that someone might have offended his dignity. Was it possible he knew something? Or was it even possible he really knew that mysterious person? But it was clear now that he could not get an answer from Zhongjie Daozhu.

However, Li Heng did not dwell on this too much.

Once his strength reached a certain level in the future, many mysteries would naturally be solved; idle speculation was useless. There was still a lot of Source Power in this Zhanchang that had not been harvested, and he could not waste time.

And so, the blood pressure of the Zhongjie Daozhu rose.

How could this practitioner of the Outer Path named Li Heng keep fishing like this!

He was clearly a giant deep-sea whale, yet he insisted on hiding among a school of fish, pretending to be a weak and helpless little fish to lure others onto his hook—was this really that fun?

Did he not cultivate at all!?
