Free Web NovelThe rules of the Heavenly Emperor severed the path between the Nine Heavens and the Ancient City, but... have not truly severed the connection. When Chen Pingping was proving the Way, that terrifying pressure swept forth wantonly, enveloping the entire Nine Heavens.
"What is going on?" a young cultivator exclaimed in surprise.
"Someone is proving the Way."
"Who?"
"I don't know. It's coming from the Ancient City."
In just half a day, the entire Nine Heavens was in an uproar, filled with discussion and speculation.
But alas, that path had already been severed, and they were unable to watch the battles or even comprehend them, because the energy of proving the Way was too vast, with dense causality.
In the Secret Realm.
A group of Wuji Sect high-level members fell silent collectively, but after a brief suppression, they suddenly erupted in cheers.
Just then, news came in from Jiang Ni'er: "Senior Brother is proving the Way."
Hongxiu was stunned.
Zhuge Wushuang's mouth slightly agape.
Wen Qingshan was dumbfounded.
Yu Changfeng went crazy; shouldn't it be him proving the Way? What is that little runt doing?
He Yitian, Gu Mang, Lan Qingshui, and many geniuses from the Swords Sect were shocked.
The Green Peak lineage was no exception.
Guang Xiaoyu laughed: "He's truly my man!"
Proving the Way in a chaotic world, he is destined to become a man of monumental impact!
"That's my father," An said proudly.
"Oh yeah, that's my father too," said the little girl who once transformed from a Spirit Pill, jumping out from somewhere.
The entire Wuji Sect was filled with jubilation.
Only Jiang Ni'er and Shisan frowned deeply; they practiced the Heavenly Fortune Tao, so they naturally knew this era was not suitable for proving the Way.
The path was severed.
Otherwise, Yu Changfeng would have succeeded long ago, right?
It wouldn't have waited until now.
But the Heavenly Fortune Tao is not absolute, and there's always a sliver of opportunity in everything. Perhaps... Chen Pingping could defy the heavens and prove the Great Emperor Tao Fruit amidst chaos.
Just the hope is slim.
"Sect Master!" a young man hurried here: "Outside, someone named Liu Changqing requests an audience."
"???"
Hongxiu frowned, trying hard to recall.
Guang Xiaoyu immediately spoke: "He's Senior Brother's friend."
An was also excited: "Ting'er is here." She quickly walked out.
Indeed, Liu Ting'er had arrived.
Liu Changqing and Alan discussed for a long time, and finally decided to send the Taoist Body to the Wuji Sect.
Their path had already been severed, but... they didn't want to affect the birth of the Taoist Body, so they could only send it here.
...
On the Tianwu Continent.
Wuji Sect, at the old site of Green Peak.
Li Qi suddenly opened his eyes, seemingly sensing something, and said excitedly: "Master is proving the Way, Master is becoming an Emperor."
After cultivating for four or five hundred years, he reached the step of proving the Way.
Throughout the cultivation world, there are very few who can achieve this.
Coincidentally, Nangong Jue trembled as he heard this from behind, his deeply sunken eyes widening instantly: "What did you say?"
"Master is proving the Way," Li Qi said excitedly.
"Chen?"
"Yes!"
"I..." Nangong Jue dazedly pondered.
Has he reached that step?
So fast!
Truly deserving to be Chen, the strongest of the Green Peak lineage.
Thinking of their bits and pieces over the years, Nangong Jue couldn't help but choke up.
Time, alas!
But a speck in the ocean, in the blink of an eye, Chen Pingping had proved the Way, while he had become old and frail. If it weren't for Chen Pingping's forced action earlier to prolong his life, he would already be buried under the soil.
"A puddle of mud also faces the vast starry sky at times; Senior Brother once said this," Nangong Jue cried old tears: "If only I could have understood sooner; even if unable to reach Senior Brother's height, I could at least follow his footsteps."
"Uncle, you still have a chance," Li Qi said softly.
"No, completely gone," Nangong Jue shook his head: "After I leave, bury me next to the Sect Leader!"
Li Qi was silent, suddenly stood up, and with a sound of a sword resonating throughout the Nine Heavens, stepped out a few paces, having arrived in Central Continent.
Standing atop a high mountain, he gazed down on the world like a god.
He had a breath he had never released in so many years.
Now, he faintly felt that breath about to erupt.
"A perfected Solar Saint Body rivaling a Great Emperor?" Li Qi murmured: "Master, as you prove the Way, I will surely follow your footsteps. When you conquer the Heavens one day, I will scour all formidable enemies for you."
His gaze was fierce, firming evermore.
A heart with an invincible will.
Then, a roar shook the long sky for thousands of miles as it rapidly dimmed.
People shocked: "Who? Did the Divine Clan invade again?"
"Calm down, it's Li Qi from the Wuji Sect," an old man saw the truth, yet his heart remained unsettled, as if witnessing the birth of an invincible being.
Truly terrifying.
Chen Pingping already stands invincible, and now his disciple aims for invincibility as well.
Two Emperors from one sect?
This heralds the revival of an imperial era!
Atop the high mountain.
Li Qi took out a container, inside was some essence blood, still active.
It was Mo Lai's essence blood.
He murmured a few sentences, suddenly crushing the vessel, and the essence blood scattered across the sky. Yet, strangely, it did not fall but remained suspended there.
"The mystery of the Solar Saint Body lies in everlasting growth, though unable to rival Master's Six Tao, it should suffice to revive you," Li Qi's eyes blazed, weaving seals with crossed hands.
The heavens trembled.
He seized the moment as Master proved the Way, gathering Heaven and Earth Tao to reconstruct Mo Lai's physical body.
Immediately, Tao boiled here, golden divine brilliance erupted like the rising sun, terrifying the cultivators across Central Continent...
All thought Li Qi was demonizing.
This guy was trained by Guang Xiaoyu, so demonizing seemed normal, right?
Time passed...
A few days slipped by, Li Qi continued casting, the Solar Saint Body's essence blood continuously melding into it, and with a grand gesture, summoned the essence Qi of heaven and earth.
At that moment, he appeared godly, sacred and divine, summoning the Tao of heaven and earth effortlessly.
No one knew how long it lasted.
A strand of essence blood began to coalesce, sculpting an eye, followed by a second eye, a face, a head, a body, and limbs...
It was a breathtaking process, leaving the watching cultivators stunned, their eyes nearly bulging out.
To the unknowing, it seemed like Li Qi was creating life.
Is not this something only a god could achieve?
The knowledgeable were even more astonished.
Just a strand of essence blood was enough to rebuild a body to return?
Damn!
Are you a god?
Finally...
The terrifying scene slowly concluded, as Mo Lai's physical body was completely reconstructed. During this process, his soul gathered from all corners of the world. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Once the body finally solidified, Mo Lai slowly opened his eyes.
Li Qi smiled.
"Dead is dead; why bring me back?" Mo Lai sighed lightly, with neither sadness nor joy, indifferent to life and death.
"It's the Sect Master's command," Li Qi replied, "and besides, you're the offspring of Lingyun Emperor, your existence is crucial."
Mo Lai frowned: "You've depleted eight or nine tenths of the essence blood."
Li Qi disregarded: "There's more to generate."
A simple response.
But Mo Lai realized what it meant, sacrificing nearly a life for a life.
