Free Web NovelChapter 631: Chapter 223: Fusion
Upon hearing this, Mordo was quite pleased. Having come to Dragon Capital for so long, he finally saw some glimmer of hope.
"Mr. Li, later, Philson and I will be preaching on behalf of the Sage. Given the current state of the Celestial Principle School, it’s better to prioritize survival and go with the flow. The timing isn’t right yet. Actually, to truly utilize the power of the Inheritance Record, one needs to at least become an angel. Mr. Li’s opportunity is still with the Night Patrol," Mordo said with a smile, "Besides, there’s no need to feel burdened. If one day you feel the Celestial Principle School is a hindrance, you can abandon it anytime."
Mordo spoke frankly and earnestly. His trip to Dragon Capital was also a matter of finding life amidst death.
"It’s not at that point yet. I really like the concepts of the Celestial Principle School and feel it aligns with future laws. However, the power of traditional systems and old gods is too strong, making conflict inevitable. We’re not afraid of conflict; the enemy cannot intimidate us."
"Haha, that’s the real Mr. Li," Mordo laughed, "Life is an experience; life and death are trivial. With a clear goal, any number of enemies and opponents are just scenery along the road."
"Hear the way in the morning and die in the evening," Li Xin said with a smile.
He admired people like Mordo quite a bit, but a good death isn’t better than a rough life.
Mordo’s eyes lit up with delight. The Celestial Principle School was deeply influenced by Luthor, so they studied Beijing culture, though they didn’t publicize it while in Hedan. Mordo, being a three-star grandmaster, had a decent understanding.
"I received news of a prophecy from a Great Angel in the Life Master path that Dragon Capital will face destruction. How likely does Mordo Dean think that is?" Li Xin asked.
Mordo smiled slightly, "Regarding Dragon Capital’s situation, we’re outsiders and don’t fully grasp it. But one certainty is that the Moon God’s Court is as ancient and powerful as the Earth Mother Goddess Court. Whatever changes occur in Dragon Capital, it must align with the Church Court’s interests. If Dragon Capital is to be destroyed, that must be the Moon God’s Court’s demand."
"Dragon Capital is the foundation of the Moon God’s Court. Is that possible?" Li Xin wondered if the Moon God’s Court had gone mad.
"I’ve studied Governor Luthor’s life. Introducing the Moon God’s Court was a crucial move, but even if he is heaven’s chosen genius, this move is very dangerous. Dragon Capital’s destruction would cause some damage to the Moon God’s Court, but not serious harm. The Celestial Principle School’s foundation is too shallow; compared to ancient courts, it’s like a newborn. I can consult Vladimir on this matter," Mordo said.
"Thank you, Dean. Also, multiple singers of Hell’s Song have arrived in Dragon Capital, so be cautious," Li Xin said.
"Is the information reliable?" Mordo’s expression grew solemn.
While the Church Court is terrifying, it follows certain rules, but Hell’s Song doesn’t at all.
"Reliable! The source is unknown, but Li Xin confirmed it’s true."
"Then Dragon Capital is indeed very dangerous. Combined with the Life Master’s prophecy regarding Hell’s Song, there’s definitely a connection. I’ll find a way to gather related intelligence."
Although the Celestial Principle School in Dragon Capital is developing independently, it maintains a close connection with Hedan. Over the years, the Celestial Principle School has relied on Hedan to gain substantial influence in both secular and secret organizations. Intelligence can also be sought through the black market.
The energy the Celestial Principle School can exert is significantly greater than his own.
After conversing with Mordo, Li Xin gained much clarity. Perhaps Philson and Mordo have similar levels of spiritual cultivation, but in thought and vision, Mordo is much superior.
The entanglement with Celestial Principle Study began in Hedan; Li Xin’s casual remarks exerted such influence on it. This was fate, and Li Xin intrinsically believed the development of Celestial Principle Study in Dragon Capital would be beneficial for the city, enlightening the people, which is the foundation of progress.
Parting ways with Mordo, Li Xin found Xueyin, who was busy studying in her room with Justin listening intently from the table. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
People speak, cats listen.
In Hedan, Justin also enjoyed human warmth. But in Xueyin’s hands, it seemed to have returned to Hell, making it miss Qi Badao. Though life back then was tough, its soul was free. Now this little demon read books incessantly, leaving Justin in a daze, as if seeing Dog Xin amidst the bewilderment.
"Ah Xin, wait for a moment while I finish reading this section," Xueyin said.
Justin, having just lifted a paw, had no choice but to lower back down, sitting upright once more.
Once Xueyin joyfully finished reading, Li Xin immediately applauded, offering emotional support.
"Done talking with the teacher?"
"Yes, how’s life here?"
"Pretty good. Everyone treats me well and accommodates me," Xueyin said with a smile, "Whenever I’m bored, Justin keeps me company."
Justin leapt in front of Li Xin, meowing wildly, indicating it wanted out. It wished to leave this dreadful place; the terrifying magic tones assaulted its brain. Every morning, people start reading aloud during its best rest time, totally disrupting its routine.
Li Xin petted Justin’s fur with a smile, "You also like this place, no need to get excited or thank me. Learn well; there’s a great opportunity for you here. Ever heard of ’when one attains the way, even their chickens and dogs ascend to the skies’? Cats can too."
"Yes, Justin is amazing. It reads with me every day. The teacher praises its spirituality, and if it persists through baptism, it’ll improve," Xueyin said.
"You’ve heard them. You should thank Xueyin for giving you such a good opportunity. Humans struggle immensely for such opportunities."
Justin just watched as the two exchanged words, completely deflated, wondering how it ended up reasoning with these two.
"How’s mother? Is she still staying at Sister Kathy’s place?"
"Yes, I’ve been too busy to go back home much lately."
Xueyin nodded and didn’t ask further. After a bit of idle chatter, Li Xin left. The Celestial Principle School was quiet. Dean Mordo took the truths heard and transformed them into the echo of Celestial Principle School’s truths. As long as one studies sincerely, they can hear it.
Back home, Li Xin opened the door. The yard was somewhat messy, and the house was incredibly quiet. Without people, it lacked the feeling of home. Seeing the gray cloth strip hung in the yard’s corner, Li Xin squinted and returned to his room, sat for a while, changed into regular clothes, and left.

Li Xin and Qi Badao had numerous secret codes, each corresponding to a meeting place. On the way to the destination, Li Xin judged the trip to be safe, not out of concern for Qi Badao, but because of the Hundred Martial Hall.
This time they met at a bar in North Second District, named Drunken Bar. The bar was crowded; as Li Xin glanced around, everyone seemed ordinary.
In the vast Dragon Capital, with its large population, the management of Awakened Beings is very cumbersome. The Night Patrol doesn’t have enough manpower or resources, but in Dragon Capital, self-rule exists. Most Awakened Beings entering Dragon Capital follow the rules since the Hundred Martial Hall supports the bottom, the Night Patrol handles the middle, and the Moon God’s Court oversees the top. The legendary great sanctuary, Apex Pool, is also in Dragon Capital.
Li Xin quickly spotted Qi Badao in the corner, whose complexion was good, with vitality strong enough. It seemed his time in the Inner Hall had been quite smooth.
"Brother Li, over here," Qi Badao beckoned.
Li Xin plopped down and ordered a drink, "Old Dao, I thought you’d be stuck inside."
"No way, I can adapt wherever I go," Qi Badao chuckled.
"Gained a lot?"
"Tremendously!" Qi Badao said decisively.
Raising their glasses, the two clinked them; a sip of strong liquor chased away much of the chill. "I opened my eyes. Never thought it’d be like this."
Qi Badao introduced Li Xin to the twelve branches of the Inner Hall, "Each branch has its own responsibilities, very meticulous, with many experts. The Hall Master is a secret expert," he then lowered his voice, "All are sanctified embryos refined from worms."
