Chapter 1149: Each With Their Own Schemes in Mind (III)
“Of course you can visit Tranquil Star!” the shadow said softly. “The young friend is a descendant of the Lis. Sword City might be sealed near the Star Gate when the world changed back in the day. It is unknown how many Li descendants there might be in the world now.
“It would be wonderful if you are willing to visit in person. I was going to invite you to join us even if you didn’t mention it. I would not have strengthened the Xus had I known that the young friend is a descendant of the Lis,” the ancient said with regret. “I have caused some trouble for you.”
“Senior... did the Xus never mention this detail?”
“No.”
“Then... how did senior recognize me?” Even Stellaris is gone, how did you identify me?
“It’s simple,” chuckled the shadow. “The sword intent around you is unmistakable. There is the will of the Sword Sovereign within it. No one in the world can learn this sword method apart from the Li descendants...”
“I see!” Li Hao nodded again and couldn’t help himself. “Senior, is this spot the exact separation point of the eight portions of the world? Who could’ve possessed so much strength so as to manage the feat?
“Could it be... my ancestor the Sword Sovereign?” The young man answered his own question with excitement. “No wonder he is hailed an exalted emperor, so that’s how powerful they are! We thought we’re invincible already, but we can’t section a province, much less the entire world...”
“I’m unaware of who exactly accomplished this feat. Perhaps it was the Sword Sovereign, perhaps it was someone else. This matter was too far removed from the likes of us for us to know.”
Li Hao smiled. I know, but I’m not telling you! Is this place really the separation point of the eight sections of the world?
When the young man witnessed the Exalted Blood Emperor dividing the world, he hadn’t known why the august personage had done so. The Exalted Blood Emperor had voiced some words when he was done—seemingly both to the new world and to himself.
