Ch 322: I Am Your Master
One hundred years…
Li Hanzhou’s heart was somewhat troubled.
He didn’t know why the Old Daoist Priest had risked his life to kill those three Celestial Maidens, but since the Old Daoist Priest had done so, it meant that the Celestial Maidens descending to the Lower Realm wasn’t a good thing. However, now Li Qingfeng was dead, and in the human world now, forget about finding someone who had achieved the Transformation God stage, even Nascent Soul cultivators were hard to find.
If Celestial Maidens descend to the Lower Realm, who could stop them?
Although he wasn’t from the Profound Heaven Realm, and even thought about returning to Blue Star after Ascension to enjoy his thirty million with carefree ease in his later life.
But now that idea has changed.
In the Profound Heaven Realm, there were many people he cared about.
Liu Dongyue, Li Changshou, Yun Qianzhu, Zhou Qianlin, Little Shi Ming, and many friends.
For example, Su Nianyi.
How could he just watch them face an unknowable outcome?
What could he do now?
“You said before that among those who ascended from the Profound Heaven Realm, three have become Overlords. In this situation, don’t they care?”
Li Hanzhou asked coldly.
“You don’t understand the Upper Realm.”
Blue Sword said with a smile, “The Immortal Realm is vast beyond your imagination, far beyond this small Profound Heaven Realm. Those three have indeed become Overlords, but firstly, they may not know that the Profound Heaven Realm is being targeted, and even if they know, they probably wouldn’t dare to interfere.”
“Because the Profound Heaven Realm is a small world ruled under the Duanmu Noble Family. The Duanmu Family is also a huge power in the Immortal Realm, with Celestial Maidens stationed in their Family. How could ordinary people dare to provoke them?” Blue Sword chuckled, “My Master is just an ordinary person in the Duanmu Family, not someone of any significance.”
“Otherwise, do you think why the Tianxuan Realm has been peaceful for hundreds of years? If the one who died here was a direct descendant of the Duanmu Family, I’m afraid the Tianxuan Realm would no longer exist.”
“For a Celestial Maiden, such a small world can be destroyed with a flick of the finger!”
Blue Sword’s words truly startled Li Hanzhou.
Destroyed with a flick of the finger?
Celestial Maidens could annihilate a small world with a wave of their hand?
Just listening to Blue Sword’s description gave Li Hanzhou a feeling of helplessness.
“What is your name?”
Li Hanzhou was silent for a while, gathering his thoughts. Thinking about things so far into the future was useless; focusing on the present was what truly mattered.
“My name is Lan Ting.”
“Lan Ting Sword?”
Li Hanzhou held the sword in his hand, feeling its immense power, a force that seemed to contain an indescribable energy.
At least with his current strength, he couldn’t unleash the full power of the Lan Ting Sword.
Is this the power of a Spirit Artifact?
“Follow me for now,” Li Hanzhou said.
“Okay!”
Lan Ting Sword seemed even happier than Li Hanzhou.
“Young Master?”
At this time, Li Hanzhou withdrew his Divine Soul from the Lan Ting Sword and noticed Zhao Qing’er looking at him with worry.
“I’m fine.”
Li Hanzhou smiled and patted Zhao Qing’er’s head.
The affectionate gesture made Zhao Qing’er’s face blush slightly.
Li Hanzhou then thought about what Lan Ting Sword had said—that two Nascent Soul cultivators had been taken away. Where were those two Nascent Soul cultivators now?
Since they had reached the Nascent Soul Stage, they shouldn’t be so easily killed, right?
A night passed.
Li Hanzhou and Zhao Qing’er continued on their journey.
Meanwhile, Li Changshou in the Longevity Temple discovered that he would dream whenever he slept, and in his dreams, someone would teach him Cultivation Methods, all of which were top-tier.
Could it be that he had really met a Celestial Maiden?
After several days of cultivation, Li Changshou found that he had successfully cultivated the 《Return to Reflection Art》 to the first level.
The speed was so fast that even he couldn’t believe it.
The so-called 《Return to Reflection Art》 was actually a profound and mysterious method that used the balance of one’s own Yin and Yang to imitate the power of spacetime for cultivation.
Li Changshou hadn’t expected that such a miraculous Cultivation Method existed in this world.
And it was so easy to cultivate.
“Meow.”
After waking up from his cultivation, Li Changshou found a wild cat on the windowsill.
This wild cat had been appearing nearby frequently, and Li Changshou had already gotten used to it.
“Little Mi.”
Li Changshou walked over and said with a smile, “Are you hungry?”
“Let me get you some dried fish.”
Li Changshou turned around. His mood had improved recently because he felt he had a chance to get his Junior Brother’s body back.
“Seeing your Master and being so impolite.”
At that moment, the Calico Cat actually spoke.
Li Changshou was stunned.
He looked around, but found no one behind him.
“Don’t look, your Master is here.”
The Calico Cat slowly walked forward, its cat eyes fixed on Li Changshou as it spoke.
“Holy crap, the cat’s talking!” Li Changshou was greatly surprised, even swearing.
He even suspected that his cultivation had gone wrong.
A cat actually spoke.
Could this cat be a demon?
The Calico Cat couldn’t speak before because the vocal cords of cats and humans are different, and it hadn’t yet gotten used to speaking with a cat’s vocal cords. But after several days of exploration, it had adapted to this throat.
“Your 《Return to Reflection Art》 has reached the first level. Not bad, worthy of being a Yin-Yang Dual Body.” The Calico Cat nodded in satisfaction.
“It’s you!”
Hearing “Return to Reflection Art,” Li Changshou immediately recognized that the tone of the talking cat was exactly the same as his Master in his dreams.
“Who else could it be?”
The Calico Cat raised its head and said, “You should at least call me Master.”
Li Changshou frowned. Logically, he should call it Master, but calling a cat Master felt strange.
“Who are you? Why are you teaching me Cultivation Methods?” Li Changshou knew that nothing in the world was free. This cat couldn’t be teaching him for no reason.
“I want you to cultivate successfully and help me take revenge.” The Calico Cat didn’t beat around the bush, stating its purpose directly.
But Li Changshou shook his head, “I have no obligation to help you take revenge. It’s not like I asked you to teach me Cultivation Methods.”
“You will help me take revenge.” The Calico Cat seemed very confident.
“Why?” Li Changshou thought the cat was too self-assured.
“Because the person who harmed me and the person who killed your Junior Brother Li Hanzhou are the same person.” The Calico Cat said calmly, “Even if you don’t avenge me, won’t you even avenge your Junior Brother?”
“What did you say!?”
Hearing this, Li Changshou’s expression changed. He took a step towards the Calico Cat, his eyes wide, and said, “You know about my Junior Brother? How did my Junior Brother die!?”
Li Changshou only knew that Li Hanzhou had died in Western Ting, at the hands of the Demon Race, but he didn’t know the specifics of how or why he died.
From his understanding, even if Li Hanzhou encountered a strong cultivator from the Immortal Realm, he wouldn’t die; he could definitely escape.
But dying in Western Ting was utterly perplexing.
Now that someone finally knew the Secret, he couldn’t control his emotions.
