Chapter 1019: Black and White Undistinguished
"Oh.."
Li Li Zhouwei's words blocked his words into his throat, and he couldn't speak for a while, just bowed awkwardly, arched his hands:
"It is an offense!"
He raised his brows, still feeling that his performance was not greedy enough, and smiled with his face:
"Also... also is that Zhao Jing fellow Daoist promised me 【Listen Soul Mulberry Wood】, then promise me.."
Li Li Zhouwei felt that he had a monk's appearance, and pondered in his heart:
'It is... there is the matter of True Person Yan in the East Sea. If Uncle-grandmaster achieves "World Ming", the current 【Listen Soul Mulberry Wood】 will also be taken back... but it is sooner or later.'
But seeing him so rich, he also moved his heart.
'The North has been occupied by Buddhist cultivators for many years, and a large number of immortal objects have fallen into their hands, most of which cannot be used... Treasures have no value in the South. Exchanging spiritual objects from the North is not a bad way.'
'Lotus Temple is two-faced, dissatisfied with Da Yang Mountain and Guan Yu Xie, whether it is on the surface or really dissatisfied, words cannot be easily believed, but the path of digesting Buddhist tools cannot be broken.'
Although he did not trust the Lotus Temple, there would be no shortage of Buddhist objects in the future, so he was more tolerant, took the treasure in his hand, and replied:
"Uncle-grandmaster already has news, and will not let you wait long, I will bring the words to you for you... but."
He raised his brows and asked:
"I don't know how many spiritual assets and spiritual objects are in the hands of Mo He or the Lotus Temple, which can be chosen."
Ming Hui was slightly stunned, nodded repeatedly, and replied:
"My adult likes to collect immortal objects, it is... not few."
Li Li Zhouwei pondered:
"Must be helpful for supernatural power breakthrough."
Ming Hui thought hard, groped for a long time before taking out a box from his sleeve, hesitating:
"Has the adult heard of... 【Fu Yuan Tai Mi】?"
Li Li Zhouwei nodded, doubted:
"You have great ability!"
Ming Hui shook his head repeatedly, closed his hands, and replied:
"It is rumored that there is 【Fu Yuan Tai Mi】 on Da Yang Mountain. This object interacts with 【Xiao Xian Qing Yi Qi】 to produce a spiritual Qi in the cave heaven, called 【Listen Purple Meaning Qi】."
"This object is beneficial to the immortal path, although it does not increase any cultivation, and it is very difficult to refine any elixir, it has a few auxiliary effects on supernatural power... My master left a lot back then, and I achieved Mo He, and he also took a copy for me to practice, instructing me that the North and South are one path, often contemplate, and there must be good benefits..."
Some flesh-pain colors appeared on his face, opened the jade box, and replied:
"Adult, please look!"
Li Li Zhouwei opened the jade box, and sure enough, he saw layers of purple meaning sealed in the box by magic power. Spiritual sense brushed over, and he felt supernatural power moving, golden eyes flickering, replying:
"This is... 'Purple Qi'?"
Ming Hui smiled:
"Exactly! 'Purple Qi' is a nature of 'Heaven Cultivation Purple Qi Immortal Origin', which is closely related to the immortal path, and it just meets the requirements of the fellow Daoist!"
Li Li Zhouwei looked for a while, nodded and said:
"Not bad."
Ming Hui then smiled, nodded and said:
"I don't have the talent of my master. This reference is always a useless effort. It is better to exchange with the fellow Daoist for some useful spiritual assets, melt them with these goldwares, and refine a good treasure—many of your wonders I can't use, it is best to be direct... indestructible, shuttling through the Grand Void, these must be able to play a role!"
Li Li Zhouwei pondered slightly and asked:
"Crane Holding Stone... Fellow Daoist, what do you need? This object can embellish magic tools, has the ability to shuttle, and is the combination of 'True Qi' path and various paths."
Ming Hui really didn't recognize this Crane Holding Stone, just heard that it had the ability to shuttle, and exchanging it was not a waste, so he was secretly rejoicing, but on the surface, he made a sudden realization, smiled:
"I just need this object!"
Li Li Zhouwei then nodded.
It is a pity that the Crane Holding Stone is still in Li Li Ximing's hands, and it cannot be taken for a while, so he talked about sending someone to deliver it. Li Li Zhouwei touched his sleeve, sighing in his heart:
'Obtained in the cave heaven, except for the departing fire spiritual assets, it has been squandered, even the 【Chou Mou Heart Ice】 obtained from Senior Chang Xiao mountain is worth mentioning... In the end, it is not enough!'
The lamp fire in Ming Hui's hand came from the North, and after being refined by the Buddhist cultivator, it reached Ming Hui's hand and turned to Li Li Ximing's hand. It was obviously not cautious, and the lamp fire was not what the family needed.. Fortunately, this matter can be tried with 【Run Yang Fa】, although it involves very little lamp fire, this matter can be tried first, and if it doesn't work, the traces of the Buddhist cultivator must be erased.
'This matter... for Uncle-grandmaster, it is just a piece of cake.'
Ming Hui is a Northern Buddhist after all, Li Li Zhouwei didn't say much to him, rode the wind and rose, and flew west all the way.
Ming Hui put away his hand, clearly offering treasures, but did not have much heartache, rubbed his hands on the cassock, put a pile of goldwares into his sleeves, and pondered in his heart:
'Only enough for three percent of that spirit fire, and I don't know how many copies of 【Listen Soul Mulberry Wood】 there are.'
His own master's soul had problems, once broke the Dao method, had to break and stand in these years, turned to practice other paths, made rapid progress in techniques, and had achievements in both immortal and Buddhist paths. The soul's affairs were actually not urgent.
Ming Hui was secretly anxious:
'The things this person participates in are not easy to deal with... Just standing on the side makes me worry about my life, this time fighting with the Dragon Son, how can I toss!'
'Forget it, forget it... go back and ask the master to repeat the words of the two, let him listen, maybe there will be some harvest... This White White Qilin is already a bit suspicious, can't be so big-handed next time... have to be more greedy...'
He put away the auspicious clouds, kicked in place, and immediately turned into a golden light, broke into the Grand Void, and disappeared.
I don't know how long it took, the clouds in the sea became thick, thunder sounded in the sky, and the heavy black clouds piled up, as if some huge thing was swimming in the sky. 【1
Amidst the thick fog, demonic clouds rose. The man in black still stood at the edge of the sky, his hands behind his back. Purple-black energy surged in his eyes, and his expression was somewhat complex:
"The Beihai Dragon King... Dongfang You has been dead for many years... the White Dragon lineage is already under his control."
Despite having fought a great battle with Li Li Zhouwei and being hurriedly driven away by Dongfang Dongfang Lieyun, Guang Can's gaze did not fluctuate in the slightest, but instead stared quietly to the west, until a faint voice came from beside him:
"How is it."
There was no longer any cold murderous intent in the eyes of this demon dragon, but clear suspicion:
"They guess steadily, but I do not believe Mount Luoxia would do such a thing."
"Oh?"
The voice beside him even had a bit more emotion:
"You think they can't do it?"
Guang Can shook his head:
"They can do it, but they wouldn't do it under the eyes of the Underworld... It has no meaning, and it goes against Mount Luoxia's way of doing things, or rather—Mount Luoxia disdains to do such a thing."
The voice on the side paused and asked:
"Even if... it allows 'Mingyang' to ascend to a new master?"
Rolling demonic energy rippled from the sleeves of this demon dragon. He raised his brows to look at the sky, looking all the way to the sun sinking into the sea of clouds in the distance, and said faintly:
"Whether he can ascend is hard to say, but they wouldn't be afraid. When 'Yu Zhen' ascended to the throne, did you see the heavens afraid? On the contrary, they celebrated for the world, celebrated for the rosy light, celebrating that that Yu Zhen master would never return."
"From now on, there will be one more measure of peace."
The sun and moon shine together on the world.
Clouds swirled, and colorful illusions intertwined. Li Li Ximing slowly woke up from his meditation, and the daylight in the pavilion retracted.
He then stood up and raised his hand. One or two points of golden light emerged from his fingertips, circled his wrist, and returned to his fingertips. The True Person in white-gold Daoist robes raised his head slightly:
"The 'Heavenly Brightness' is complete!"
This 'Heavenly Brightness' immortal foundation took more than one of his Purple Mansion spirit pills to cultivate, and it was the 【Lin Light Illumination Pill】 of the Mingyang lineage! Not to mention the time and energy spent!
"No wonder people seize others' immortal foundations... This cultivation session, besides the Purple Mansion spirit pills and the Golden Core-level blessed land, also had the blessing of talisman energy! If there were no such improvement, the speed would be three or four times slower. When would I ever finish cultivating!"
He sighed inwardly:
"Even if I practiced it, the possibility of failure this time was not small... If I had no cultivation technique, or was stuck at the immortal threshold, that would be one thing; I could go out and lay out my plans, and be a bit more relaxed. But it was a divine ability right in front of me that I couldn't obtain. It truly tempered my mind..."
Li Li Ximing took a step forward, stepped out of the blessed land, and appeared from the inner formation. Taking another step, he had already arrived at Mount Mount Zhijing.
The daylight in the mountains was shimmering. A young man was standing under a gardenia tree, silently pondering. Seeing Li Li Ximing appear, Li Li Zhouwei turned his head and cupped his hands:
"Uncle!"
Li Li Ximing smiled:
"You returned very quickly!"
"It has already been half a year."
Li Li Zhouwei's expression was slightly gloomy, and he shook his head:
"I fought a dragon son in the Yin Continent, my tracks have been exposed, and it's too late to go to the South Sea, so I could only rush back... I'm just glad that the matter with Monk Minghui was resolved, so it wasn't a wasted trip."
"What?!"
Li Li Ximing was shocked in his heart and asked:
"A dragon son? Ding Jiao? How did it come to this!"
Li Li Zhouwei paced, discussing the affairs of the Yin Continent one by one, and only then said in a deep voice:
"I had long suspected that Guang Can could not kill me, but the moment Dongfang Dongfang Lieyun appeared, I finally took a reassurance pill—to this day, both the Underworld and Mount Luoxia have met me, especially since the Yang family gave me the throne. Now, I, Li Li Zhouwei, am already a bright piece on the chessboard, and the dragon species no longer have the possibility of rashly pulling it out."
"Perhaps if I had rejected the Yang family's throne that day, there might have been a slim chance of me dying in the Yin Continent today... If they were to take action, I fear it would be the White Dragon killing me."
Li Li Ximing was stunned and doubted:
"White Dragon? Ding Jiao? This... isn't he on good terms with you!"
Li Li Zhouwei shook his head silently and replied:
"It's not him, it's Beihai... Ding Jiao acts on orders. Back then he was only at Qi Refining, and the angle from which he stood was completely different."
In fact, Li Li Zhouwei never felt that there was any real fighting between the various dragon lineages. Perhaps they had different stances, but their ultimate goals were the same.
"Uncle, the different attitudes of the lineages toward me merely represent a few considerations of the dragon species..."
Li Li Zhouwei lowered his voice slightly and replied:
"In treating me, Li Li Zhouwei, the dragon species have conflicts, whether from an emotional perspective or a strategic one... Of course, the dragon species do not want me to accelerate the fall of Mingyang... but this does not mean they are close to Li Li Qianyuan. Just as I said when I was fighting, if the dragon species really had the ability to save Mingyang and the intention to save Mingyang, why would there be me, Li Li Zhouwei, today?"
"Since there is Li Li Zhouwei, and there is a White White Qilin entering and leaving the Dragon Palace, there must be an element at the root of the dragon species that wants to put Li Li Qianyuan to death!"
He said word by word:
"As long as the position has a master, who cannot sit on it."
Li Li Ximing met his gaze, and his heart understood.
The contradictory stance of the dragon species actually pointed to another possibility—the dragon species also hoped he would seek to prove Mingyang, but the result of proving the fruit position must be ascending to Mingyang! As a True Lord friendly to the dragon species, he would add a helping hand to the dragon species' path of seeking truth!
"You, Li Li Zhouwei, either don't prove it, but if you do, you must succeed!"
Li Li Ximing wanted to say something but stopped, seeing Li Li Zhouwei smile ironically:
"As for the reincarnation of golden nature? I don't know if Uncle believes it, but I don't."
How could he, Li Li Zhouwei, have such great face? Why would the dragon species help him? Because he is Mingyang. Since he is reincarnated to cultivate his Dao, why would they still help him, Li Li Zhouwei? Since he cannot bring benefits to the dragon species, why would the dragon species be merciful and spend a portion of golden nature to let him reincarnate? Is it because they are lacking a Purple Mansion?"
"If you receive nature, you can become a golden rainbow. If there is a Dao to become an immortal, how could you be allowed to obtain it!"
As a means for the immortals of Mount Luoxia, the satire of the demons and ghosts in the play toward the mountains was not just a guess at Mount Luoxia's tone toward the dragon species, but also a satire on the dragon species' methods!
From beginning to end, the reincarnation of golden nature was probably just a means to fob him off and make him seek his own death!
"It is precisely because of this reason that the dragon species appear to be wavering. It is not at all because of the old feelings of the Wei-Li that they showed me mercy. What a joke, the dignified dragon species, would they remember the friendship of a descendant of the Wei-Li!"
In other words, the so-called reincarnation of the White Dragon lineage headed by Dongfang Dongfang Lieyun was meaningless. The dragon species couldn't do it, or rather, didn't want to! They just sought stability and didn't think he could succeed, wanting him not to challenge the fruit position and just go die peacefully!
That was why Guang Can sneered during the great battle and released words like 【Who hates the Wei-Li Mingyang? Is it Ding Jiao or me? Li Li Zhouwei... you should think clearly】!
Then, was Guang Can really as friendly to the Wei Kingdom as he said? Also no! What he was friendly to... was the Wei-Li Mingyang, not Li Li Qianyuan. Whoever could sit in that position, he would support... In essence, it was precisely that the dragon species hoped to get a new Mingyang True Lord's support rather than a half-dead Li Li Qianyuan! This will was what made Guang Can take action!
And the radical Black Dragon lineage also did not have full trust in him. Guang Can was just testing his waters, deliberately provoking him—to see if he had the rebellious heart and ability to prove the position!
Even in this conversation, that rebellious heart was more important than ability.
But the White Dragon lineage on the side was watching covetously. Li Li Zhouwei had a ninety percent certainty—this Beihai Dragon King sought stability above all else and urgently hoped that he would involve the attention of the entire north, walk through the world like this, and finally die peacefully and obediently!
It was precisely because of this that Dongfang Dongfang Lieyun specifically pointed out the implication of the 【Qianyang Bracelet】!
Li Li Ximing looked at his golden eyes and said after a long time:
"They are putting you... in the middle, and there isn't even a definite attitude..."
Li Li Zhouwei slowly closed his eyes:
"A definite attitude... whether killing me or supporting me with all their might, it requires a price, and it requires being countered by the other two families... It's not that they can't afford the price, they are waiting."
"If I am truly incompetent, then it will be a murder plot. If I am truly someone who rebels against Mingyang and ascends to the throne, I may not be as domineering and fierce as the Shangyao's righteous position, using righteousness to rule subjects, but I will certainly be like the Yang-pole's reversed position, falsely loyal and hypocritical, using the strange to rebel against the ruler... why would I fear the tug-of-war between the two lineages?"
Li Li Ximing watched him quietly, watching this younger generation reveal a chilling smile:
"They... are worried that I am not evil enough!"
