The Blade-Wielding Legend-Chapter 1231 - 644: The Ghost Emperor’s Ambition

"Enlighten me?"

Li Yan chuckled, a hint of sarcasm on his lips.

He casually swung the Duan Chen Blade, pacing left and right, surveying the surroundings.

The old man above mentioned the arrangement here, but he couldn't understand it.

Li Yan admitted this point as well.

People have different talents, and something like Qimen Dunjia can't be practiced with the Daluo Dharma Body, so even with Wang Daoxuan's careful guidance, he could barely master the "North Emperor Divine Travel Technique."

More complex Qimen formations were simply beyond comprehension.

But what he had to do wasn't to break the Feng Shui Array.

In the skin bag behind him, he still had the fire thorns given by Sha Lifei.

Find a suspicious spot to destroy, as soon as that Ghost Emperor reveals any trace, he can immediately take action.

As for what the other party had to say, Li Yan didn't care at all.

Seeing his demeanor, Wang Xuanmo, sitting above, flashed a fierce light in his eyes, but also didn't rush to act, instead spoke to himself: "Years ago, I was hunted by the Mystical Sect of the Northern Dynasty, went into hiding in the Southern Dynasty, and returned home in my old age, when Zhao Changsheng found me."

"Originally, I just wanted to live leisurely and long, didn't want to deal with this person, but he revealed a shocking secret!"

"Oh?"

Li Yan casually glanced, "What secret?"

Wang Xuanmo looked up at the beam, gritted his teeth and said: "'Ascension and Immortality' is all an illusion!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yan showed a bit of interest, "What do you mean?"

Wang Xuanmo didn't answer directly, but said in a deep voice: "That place is called the 'Daluo Law Realm,' where 'Daluo' means all-encompassing, and the Law Realm is the same."

"You think heaven has nine layers, the Heavenly Court residing above, the earth has the Nine Netherworld, the Underworld situated below?"

"Ha, it's all a trick to deceive the world!"

Li Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Are these all things Zhao Changsheng told you?"

Truth be told, he knew these things long ago.

The so-called Daluo Law Realm is not what people imagined.

He was just puzzled as to what other heavenly mechanisms Zhao Changsheng had disclosed to this person?

"Yes."

Wang Xuanmo nodded in acknowledgment, "Had he not informed me, I'd still be in the dark."

"But the scariest part is the secrets within the Law Realm; it's not a place of transcendence!"

"Commerce has 'Taiyi' and 'Siming,' one controlling the sun, moon, and stars, the other life and death, and the Ancestor of Soldiers Chi You, Xing Tian who dances with shield and axe; do you know where these once renowned deities are now?"

Li Yan felt a stir in his heart, "Where are they?"

"Hahaha..."

Wang Xuanmo sneered, his eyes full of ridicule as he spoke:

"During the Qin and Han, the National Sacrifice merged 'Taiyi' with the Heavenly Emperor, after Emperor Wu of Han performed the fengshan ceremony, 'Siming' was replaced by Taishan Lord, and by the Tang and Song dynasties, 'Taiyi' gradually lost its place in sacrifices..."

"During the Qin and Han, Chi You was still part of the 'Ancestor of Soldiers' sacrifice, but after the Tang and Song dynasties, mortal gods like Guan Sheng and other military officers rose to popularity, and he was replaced, while Xing Tian became a folk tale of the 'headless ghost'..."

"Which of these deities wasn't famous, but with the Law Realm and the red dust affecting each other, forgotten by everyone, they have long been slumbering in the abyss of the Law Realm, unless entering the National Sacrifice again, they will never awaken, akin to being dead?"

"And those legendary immortals."

"You think they can truly be carefree?"

The Daluo Law Realm is no good place, only protected by the Heavenly Court and Underworld, living under others' roofs, bound by the 'Heavenly Rules,' unable to violate the 'Yin Law,' even less free than in the Human World, many wish to privately descend!"

"As for you, the 'living Yin messenger,' you are but a lackey of the Law Realm's immortal gods."

"The yin criminals you capture, they're not mere loners, you appear formidable, but you're bearing the consequences for the Heavenly Court and Underworld, even if you have a chance to ascend, you'd face retribution."

Apparently bottled up for a long time, Wang Xuanmo's voice carried a hint of resentment.

"Ha, if ascension were so delightful, why would Cheng Jianxin in Shu retreat when he was on the brink of the door?"

Listening to these words, Li Yan felt a chill in his heart.

What the other party said matched the changes in his research of The Queen Mother of the West's faith.

Though he had suspected before, he didn't expect the Law Realm to be like this.

With this understanding, many things could be explained.

The Wushan Goddess chose to perish in the Human World rather than go to the Law Realm...

The Cloud Lord hid in Divine Que for a thousand years, only having the intent of ascension due to the reformation of Human Dao...

The Law Realm may grant immortality, but isn't it a prison as well?

Thinking of this, Li Yan said in a deep voice: "Telling me these, what do you intend to do?"

"Naturally, it's collaboration!"

The Ghost Emperor Wang Xuanmo's voice was aged, carrying a hint of temptation, "To be honest, although I obey Zhao Changsheng, I trust him even less, they have ulterior motives, and I'm merely a pawn."

"Ha, just after the Yuzhou Tripod emerged in Shu, causing a stir in the Divine State, they rushed me to lure the Yuzhou Tripod, clearly treating me as expendable!"

Li Yan asked again: "What can the Nine Tripod be used for?"

Wang Xuanmo shook his head: "That's something I'm unclear about."

"But I suspect, the Nine Tripod, as Divine Artifacts of the Divine State, have grown increasingly renowned over thousands of years, and traveling the Dragon Vein for nurturing, have exceeded understanding, they gather the Nine Tripod, probably intending to stir things up in the Daluo Law Realm amid the reform of Human Dao."

"But the Jingzhou Tripod has already failed, who knows where it will appear next time, hoping to gather the Nine Tripod is simply wishful thinking, Zhao Changsheng has other plans, having me act merely to divert attention..."

"I see."

After listening, Li Yan instantly grasped the reasoning.

After the battle in Chengdu, the matter of the Nine Tripod had spread throughout the world.

Logically speaking, Zhao Changsheng and his people should act more discreetly to succeed.

But this has been so quickly, and they've stirred the matter again, clearly it's just bait.

The Nine Tripod traveling through the Earth's veins in the Divine State, as long as the route is known, they can fish them up again.
