Chapter 1522: Cloud Li Tianwang

As the voice of Void Li Tianwang echoed through heaven and earth, ethereal clouds began to gather; when the mist finally dispersed, a figure had appeared before Li Luo, Jiang Jiang Qinge, and the others without anyone knowing when.

Everyone turned their gaze toward him.

They saw a figure standing atop the cloud sea, his posture straight as a pine, wearing a moon-white long robe that fluttered gently in the wind, embroidered with flowing cloud patterns on its sleeves, while the sea of clouds swirled around him.

He was a man of extraordinary handsomeness, his eyes seeming to hold an endless sea of clouds, deep and mysterious, with the corners of his lips slightly upturned, bearing a faint, elusive smile.

His raven-black hair was scattered carelessly, with a few strands of silver interwoven among the locks.

What an extraordinary, otherworldly, and handsome man.

"Pay respects to Cloud Li Tianwang!"

Wang Xuanjin, Jin Xi, and Bai Yu, upon seeing the newcomer, immediately showed reverence in their eyes, clasping their hands to bow and pay homage.

Far behind, mentors such as Fifth Mingxuan and Sheng Que'er also hurriedly performed the grand bow, their eyes filled with unhidden awe and excitement, for even they, top-tier mentors, rarely had the chance to see a Li Tianwang of the Academy Alliance in person.

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge also followed suit to bow, while secretly casting curious glances at that otherworldly, handsome man.

Is this the Li Tianwang of the Academy Alliance?

Truly, today has opened our eyes; to see the true forms of two Tianwangs is something we have never experienced before.

However, the Li Tianwang's arrival also means that we no longer have the qualification to interfere in the conflict here.

Amidst everyone's homage, the handsome man in the moon-white robe with scattered long hair smiled and waved his hand, saying gently, "You have all worked hard."

His words were soft, making one feel as if bathed in the spring breeze.

Then, this Cloud Li Tianwang first looked at Jiang Jiang Qinge and smiled, saying, "After so many years, a Primordial Seed has finally appeared again; this is truly great fortune for our Academy Alliance. Are you named Jiang Jiang Qinge?"

Jiang Jiang Qinge nodded, clasped her fist, and said, "Jiang Jiang Qinge pays respects to Cloud Li Tianwang."

"No need for such formalities. Your teacher is that little girl Zhen Mingyu, isn't she?" Cloud Li Tianwang said with a smile.

That Third Dean of the Holy Light Ancient Academy had become "that little girl" in Cloud Li Tianwang's mouth, yet given her seniority and strength, she indeed possessed the qualification for such a title.

Jiang Jiang Qinge nodded.

"If we truly speak in terms of seniority, I could count as your grand-uncle, after all, that little girl Zhen Mingyu was my student when she was at the Holy Light Ancient Academy." Cloud Li Tianwang's lips curled into a smile, giving off a gentle, cloud-like aura.

Both Jiang Jiang Qinge and Li Luo were somewhat surprised, having not expected that Zhen Mingyu had once been a student of this Cloud Li Tianwang before them.

"Grand-uncle Cloud." Jiang Jiang Qinge did not know the other's intention in saying this, but since the words had reached this point, it seemed impolite not to follow through, so she hesitated for a moment and changed her address.

"Hehe, our Academy Alliance does not practice such formalities, so you need not worry about it." Cloud Li Tianwang smiled gently, then nodded again and said, "Grand-uncle Cloud is indeed a special title; I have never heard anyone address me this way before."

It seemed he quite liked this title.

Wang Xuanjin, Jin Xi, and Elder Bai Yu standing nearby silently curled their lips; countless people in the Academy Alliance could, by seniority, call him Grand-uncle Cloud, yet he had never acknowledged them.

However, they also understood Cloud Li Tianwang's intention; after all, this was a Primordial Seed, and Jiang Jiang Qinge was, after all, one of their Academy Alliance's own, so naturally, she needed to be properly won over.

Jiang Jiang Qinge vaguely understood the reason for the other's special attitude toward her, so she took Li Luo's hand and said, "Grand-uncle Cloud, this is my husband, Li Luo."

Cloud Li Tianwang looked at Li Luo and sighed slightly with a smile, saying, "Today I too have opened my eyes; not only have I seen a Primordial Seed, but also the Ten Thousand Aspects Seed, lost for many years. Rumor has it that this seed is inherited by the successive sect masters of the Formless Saint Sect, and only the sect master and the sect master's successor can cultivate it. Your parents once entered the Formless Saint Sect's ancestral ruins; I suppose it was then that you luckily obtained the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Aspects Seed."

Li Luo felt secretly surprised; in the presence of such Tianwangs, there was truly no secret to keep. They must have perceived the "Ten Thousand Aspects Wheel" deep within his body, for the fluctuations of the Ten Thousand Aspects Wheel were too divine; while ordinary King-level experts would find it hard to detect, to a Li Tianwang, it was exceptionally special.

Thus, the secret he had hidden for all these years was, right now, seen through at a glance by two Tianwangs.

Moreover, from Cloud Li Tianwang's words, it was clear he knew quite a bit about the Formless Saint Sect; this was not strange, for the Academy Alliance had existed for a long time, and the information it possessed was naturally far beyond that of ordinary Li Tianwang-level powers.

"I am also quite familiar with Li Li Tianwang; back then at the Wang Hou Battlefield, we fought side by side against alien Tianwangs. If he were to learn that a Ten Thousand Aspects Seed has appeared among the younger generation, I imagine he would be delighted." Cloud Li Tianwang said gently.

Li Luo quickly clasped his fist in humility.

After exchanging a few words with the two, Cloud Li Tianwang finally turned his gaze to Void Li Tianwang and smiled, saying, "Void Li Tianwang, the Reunification Society's reach extending here is a bit too overstepping, isn't it?"

Void Li Tianwang was also dressed in white, with a refined and scholarly aura. Upon hearing this, he said, "Cloud Li Tianwang, does your Academy Alliance truly think the Heaven Mirror Tower belongs to you?"

Cloud Li Tianwang said, "The Heaven Mirror Tower is a legacy left by the Formless Saint Sect. Our Academy Alliance merely upholds its will, using this place to cultivate more young experts to resist the aliens and protect the survival of billions of living beings."

"Even the mighty Formless Saint Sect failed to end the aliens; from where does your Academy Alliance get such arrogance? Therefore, your path is wrong." Void Li Tianwang said.

Cloud Li Tianwang replied gently, "Then does it mean that, as you wish, completely releasing the aliens into the world is right? You will only leave one in ten living beings in this world."

"The one that remains may be where hope lies." Void Li Tianwang said indifferently.

Cloud Li Tianwang shook his head, unwilling to argue with the other over such a choice of path; if this matter could be resolved so simply, both sides would not have been opposed for such a long age.

"Void Li Tianwang, you should leave." He said.

Void Li Tianwang also shook his head and smiled, saying, "I have not yet obtained what I want; how could I retreat? On the Academy Alliance side, only you can spare your hands now, right?"

"What do you want to do? Is there something inside the Heaven Mirror Tower that catches your eye? Is it that Li Tianwang corpse? Or do you have other designs?" Cloud Li Tianwang frowned slightly.

At the same time, Cloud Li Tianwang's gaze slowly flickered as he surveyed the realm of the Heaven Mirror Tower; his eyes gradually turned white, finally becoming a pair of white pupils, which seemed capable of piercing through everything in heaven and earth.

He was probing the deepest part of the Heaven Mirror Tower with all his might.

Under the reflection of Cloud Li Tianwang's white pupils, the void of the sky seemed to crack open, and then Li Luo, Jiang Jiang Qinge, and the others were shocked to see that at the end of that void lay a gigantic corpse lying quietly.

Countless ancient patterns were engraved on the body of that corpse; just one glance made everyone's eyes sting, with blood trickling down from the corners of their eyes.

A terrifyingly immense pressure emanated from that gigantic corpse.

On the massive body of the mysterious corpse, crystals constantly surged forth; these crystals melted, turning into flowing light and dust, which scattered to every corner of the Heaven Mirror Tower.

That dust was not unfamiliar to Li Luo and the others; it was none other than the "Heaven Mirror Sand" they had fought so desperately over in the Crossing War.

Clearly, this mysterious corpse was the core object of the Heaven Mirror Tower.

A Li Tianwang corpse.
