Chapter 168: Calamity Bearer Human Emperor
The scene was once very awkward.
Li Si stood in place, weak, pitiful, helpless, and lacking presence.
Because Jiuxuanzi completely ignored him.
No matter how many times he explained, Jiuxuanzi just would not listen, would not listen, still would not listen.
Of course, Jiuxuanzi was no longer trying to inject Fortune of Heaven and Earth into the Yunhua Law Seal. Damn it, two hundred portions of Fortune of Heaven and Earth! Even though there would be dividends, this behavior was very bad.
What he hated most were barbarians who appeared out of nowhere!
They did not follow the script at all. In the previous world-shattering upheaval, he was about to win, but then this stupid, old dragon suddenly popped out, insisting on creating a Tribulation-Bearing Dragon, completely messing up all his plans.
Fortunately, this was not entirely bad. Jiuxuanzi calculated that since the old dragon bore the brunt of that world-shattering upheaval, according to the principle of “whoever is responsible benefits,” the old dragon would get at least three thousand portions of Fortune of Heaven and Earth as its suppression share. It wasn’t given to the dragon, but rather, the Tribulation-Bearing Dragon needed to bear this suppression share.
So, Jiuxuanzi immediately launched a second plan, one that was foolproof.
Because in his view, the old dragon absolutely would not come to support Li Si, this Calamity-Bearing Human King. But then, damn it, he was so angry his nose was almost crooked.
“Come out!”
“You old loach, you come out!”
Jiuxuanzi shouted in grief and indignation. It was just too damn infuriating. Worse, he did not dare go to the old dragon’s territory, because the old dragon was now also a Tribulation-Bearing Dragon, and also had a Land Deed Seal, which was probably even stronger than Li Si’s Land Deed Seal. Plus, with the opponent’s Great Luotian Immortal strength, going there would be asking for humiliation.
“Fine! Since that’s how it is, don’t blame me for not being polite!”
Finally, Jiuxuanzi gave up his efforts. If that old dragon really didn’t come out, there was genuinely nothing he could do. But it was just so frustrating. He clearly had the whole situation under control, was just one step away from turning the tables, but now all his efforts were wasted at the last moment.
As for injecting more Fortune of Heaven and Earth into the Yunhua Law Seal? Are you kidding?
With that old coin, that sniper, the old dragon around, who would dare?
His family fortune was instantly halved. It hurt his heart.
Jiuxuanzi finally noticed the little transparent, the little pipsqueak, the little brat Li Si in this place.
“Senior, want to cooperate? You lure the Void Demon Corpses, I’ll handle the suppression. We split the gains 70-30. If that doesn’t work, 60-40 is also possible.”
Li Si was sincere, genuinely hoping to cooperate. As for whether Jiuxuanzi had truly possessed Qingpingzi… well, once they were partners, everything could be discussed. They could just buy Qingpingzi back later, right?
“Junior, stop messing with me!”
Jiuxuanzi was furious, his hair standing on end, but he likewise could do nothing to Li Si, just as the Yunhua Law Seal couldn’t suppress him now.
Suppressing his rage, he spoke through gritted teeth: “Let’s negotiate. I don’t know how you colluded with that old dragon, and I don’t care anymore. Right now, it’s either him or me, a fight to the death. If you know what’s good for you, stay out of it.”
Li Si shook his head in fear. They were all big shots; of course, he didn’t dare get involved. Hmm, he truly didn’t dare. But he could watch the show, sitting on a bench, munching melon seeds, sipping tea… tsk tsk!
“I repeat, I am not an evil person. It’s just that I was schemed against by vile scoundrels in the Land of Infinite Vastness and had no choice but to flee back here. Right now, I also have no intention of harming you or my junior here. However, the Fortune of Heaven and Earth that belongs to me must be returned to me.”
“Do you understand?”
Jiuxuanzi patiently had to negotiate with Li Si.
As for Li Si, he made one last effort. “Senior, I truly have a good project here…”
“Shut up! If you want to hunt Void Demon Corpses, that’s your business. Right now, I’m only asking you: do we trade or not?” Jiuxuanzi shouted sternly. He felt somewhat uneasy. His Inner Demon had been stirring restlessly. His original plan was to quickly obtain the authority over heaven and earth, then he could completely suppress his Inner Demon. But now, he couldn’t delay any longer.
“Trade! Of course, we can trade. But how do I know you haven’t left any tricks behind, Senior?” Li Si also became serious. If he could get Qingpingzi back, he was willing.
Besides, he really didn’t want to antagonize this old undying Jiuxuanzi. Once a Great Luotian Immortal like this went berserk, who knew how many more troubles it would cause for this disaster-ridden world?
He was the Calamity-Bearing Human King now; he would be the first to bear the brunt.
Wouldn’t it be better to develop steadily for fifty years?
As for those two hundred portions of Fortune of Heaven and Earth, haha, no big deal.
And lastly, he really couldn’t bear to part with his Dusty Flying Sword.
“Whether I’ve left tricks or not, you’ll know yourself! Now, I will forcibly extract two hundred portions of Fortune of Heaven and Earth. You need to replenish them immediately. Otherwise, she will immediately suffer backlash from the world’s rules. If you don’t save her, you can just watch her die!”
After Jiuxuanzi finished speaking coldly, Qingpingzi’s body seemed to lose control, quickly disintegrating into countless streams of light, falling to the ground, and finally turning into a rusty flying sword.
Then, somehow, Jiuxuanzi managed to forcibly extract two hundred portions from the two thousand portions of Fortune of Heaven and Earth that Qingpingzi was suppressing. Instantly, dark clouds rolled in the sky, with lightning and thunder. That rusty Dusty Flying Sword was instantly targeted.
This was for real.
Li Si hurriedly used the Yunhua Law Seal to protect this Dusty Flying Sword, temporarily appeasing the angered heavens and earth. But he didn’t actually fill the shortfall, just in case it was a trick.
Right.
Then, he pretended to wave towards the distance, thanking Brother Dragon for the great help. Pleasant cooperation!
Only then did he pick up the Dusty Flying Sword. The moment it was in his hand, he knew Jiuxuanzi hadn’t lied. This Dusty Flying Sword was genuinely the same one as before, the real deal.
Qingpingzi’s Immortal Spirit was now hiding inside the flying sword, extremely weak. Who knew how long it would take for her to recover? She couldn’t even leave the sword now.
A True Immortal, reduced to such a state, was truly lamentable.
Li Si hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand. The Yunhua Law Seal soared into the sky, rising straight up. After a moment, it flew back as a stream of light. But following the Yunhua Law Seal, a galaxy was guided down. The moment it landed, the heavens and earth shook, clouds and mist rose, and strange scenes continuously appeared.
Finally, everything returned to the Yunhua Law Seal.
And Li Si could clearly sense that the Calamity Qi on him had thickened by at least double.
Because he had taken over the Fortune of Heaven and Earth that originally belonged to Qingpingzi’s suppression. This was the safest method, and it completely cut off Jiuxuanzi’s path to causing trouble.
From now on, Qingpingzi was no longer a World Guardian True Immortal.
Swish!
Three pieces of information appeared in succession.
“You received a Heaven and Earth Decree, obtained the position of Righteous God of Heaven and Earth ×3!”
“Because the Fortune of Heaven and Earth you suppress has reached eight thousand portions, you are forced to obtain the title of Calamity Bearer Human Emperor. The great calamity of heaven and earth may begin because of you, or end because of you!”
“The down-and-out Great Luotian Immortal Jiuxuanzi was forced to obtain your friendship.”
—
Li Si stood there sadly, looking again at the dilapidated Greyrock City. All these innocent people.
Come, receive rewards.
All members receive Divine Grace Baptism +10!
Next, Li Si properly comforted Mi Zhou’er. Actually, there was no need to worry. Mi Zhou’er now had a divine position, her cultivation was at the Divine Transformation stage. As the sect leader of the Jiuxuan Spirit Sword Sect, she could fully command the seventy thousand people in Greyrock City.
The mountain gate was gone; they just needed to find another place to rebuild. With the increasingly dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy nowadays, this was really not a problem.
“Junior Brother Li, Master, she…”
“It’s fine. Auntie is just a bit tired. One day, she will rebuild her Dao Foundation Immortal Body. Good days are ahead. The Jiuxuan Spirit Sword Sect cannot just fade away like this. Fifty years from now, there will be an even greater challenge.”
“Alright, focus on rebuilding the mountain gate quickly. Senior Brother Ji Yuan and Senior Brother Xu Shen will soon have the teleportation array built over here. Once it’s done, we can contact and support each other quickly for anything!”
Li Si smiled slightly, bid farewell to Mi Zhou’er, and the next moment teleported to the entrance of the Heaven-Mending Sect.
This place was already picturesque, full of life, with many kinds of birds, beasts, and exotic flowers and plants.
Who could have imagined that not long ago, this was a place of barren mountains and vicious waters?
Gazing at this majestic Heaven-Mending Peak, he saw a purple energy soaring into the sky, actually harmonizing with this world like yin and yang, embodying the natural Dao.
Before, Li Si hadn’t paid attention, but now he had to admit that the Old Man Shendanzi was the real winner, making money just by lying down. No wonder he wanted to rename the sect the Heaven-Mending Sect.
“Rare guest, rare guest! Little Brother Li Si, what brings you here in person today?”
A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes approached from the distance. Judging by his attire, he should be a newly admitted disciple of the Heaven-Mending Sect. But in reality, this was the Foundation Building body that Shendanzi had rebuilt after sacrificing his Dao Foundation Immortal Body.
This old coin.
Li Si was speechless but still tossed over one hundred Spirit Nourishing Pills.
“Fifty for you, fifty for my Master.”
“Tsk tsk, good stuff. If I’m not mistaken, these were refined from the remnant exuviae of the great medicine in the Seven Emotions Medicine Field. A pity, still lacking a bit. If I were to refine them, the spirit efficacy could at least be doubled.”
Li Si just looked at the Old Man quietly, not speaking.
“Alright, Little Brother. Whatever I, this old man, have that you fancy, just take it!” Shendanzi became anxious. Previously, Zhao Qingxie had given him ten Soul-Nourishing Pills. At that time, he was so envious and so angry. Such a waste of natural resources!
That’s why he personally created this Foundation Building body in the Mortal Realm, waiting at the foot of the mountain every day hoping to catch Li Si.
“Senior, you jest. Am I, Li Si, the kind of person who haggles over every ounce? I still have 15 portions of Radish Exuviae on hand. How about I just give them all to you?”
Li Si was very open and straightforward, true to his word, not asking for a single coin.
“Wait, Little Brother, the price is negotiable! I have a pill formula passed down from the Land of Infinite Vastness. Absolutely genuine, the real deal!”
“Oh? In that case, it seems I still have 100 portions of Radish Exuviae left!” Li Si said slowly, his gaze sincere.
Shendanzi was silent for a while, then finally gritted his teeth. “Little Brother, final offer. Give me one hundred thousand portions of Radish Exuviae. Don’t say you don’t have them. You casually give out hundreds of Spirit Nourishing Pills like this; you must have at least one hundred thousand portions of Radish Exuviae. Give them to me, and I’ll give you a very, very important piece of information.”
“Is it about Jiuxuanzi?” Li Si scoffed.
“No, it’s about the previous Mortal Realm. To be honest, a predecessor of my Heaven-Mending Sect was a True Immortal who escaped from the previous Mortal Realm. He luckily reached this Mortal Realm and founded the Heaven-Mending Sect. But now, it’s this Mortal Realm’s turn to be destroyed. In my opinion, saving this world is already meaningless. What’s most important is how to accumulate resources and prepare to escape to the next Mortal Realm. And in this regard, our Heaven-Mending Sect has the most experience. Little Brother, tell me, isn’t this information worth one hundred thousand portions of Radish Exuviae?”
