Chapter 167: Disappointment
The stone coffin in the middle of the formation was carved with intricate patterns, which ordinary divine sense couldn’t penetrate at all.
But for Wang Yufan, it was a trivial matter; he had met two people in the Dao Realm: one was Yue Li from Li Shui Sect, and the other was Liu Wuxie, the founding patriarch of the Jidao Imperial Court.
However, in the past, the Jidao Imperial Court held the highest position among these Imperial Courts, and when he met Liu Wuxie, his strength had reached the late God Emperor stage; as for whether he made further progress later, he didn’t know.
He only knew that Liu Wuxie possessed the Rakshasa Body, ranked 500th on the Myriad Bodies List. At that time, Wang Yufan was truly very young, while Liu Wuxie was already a thousand years old. But his strength had already reached the God Venerable Realm, and he even gave Liu Wuxie some pointers back then.
After Wang Yufan left the Dao Realm, he never came back here again. Wang Yufan remembered that Liu Wuxie had a female disciple whose talent was also very outstanding. Although she didn’t have the Rakshasa Body, she possessed the Netherworld Body, also on the Myriad Bodies List.
Originally, Wang Yufan thought it would be great if her female disciple was still alive. But not everyone lived for tens of thousands of years like him.
Wang Yufan thought of this, shook his head helplessly, and decided to take things one step at a time. Then he looked up, and ripples flowed in Wang Yufan’s eyes as he gazed at the stone coffin in front of him.
However, this one look made Wang Yufan freeze. Because he discovered that this stone coffin was also a small world, and Li Meng’er was currently meditating under a huge cliff inside.
Wang Yufan was a little curious about what Liu Wuxie was trying to do. So many small worlds were extremely rare in the Dao Realm, only found in higher-level planes.
Because for a small world, one could only condense it after reaching the late God Venerable Realm, and only at the God Emperor stage. However, at that time, there were very few God Emperors in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms. So this small world piqued Wang Yufan’s curiosity.
Wang Yufan saw Li Meng’er meditating in the stone coffin space, then withdrew his divine sense, and with a slight movement of his body, directly entered the stone coffin.
The moment Wang Yufan entered the stone coffin, a huge repulsive force surged towards Wang Yufan. Wang Yufan smiled faintly, and with a single hand, that repulsion vanished without a trace.
Soon, Wang Yufan stood silently beside Li Meng’er.
At this moment, Li Meng’er was still receiving the inheritance from Liu Wuxie.
Wang Yufan looked towards the cliff, and the more he looked, the darker Wang Yufan’s face suddenly became.
This cultivation technique of Liu Wuxie’s Rakshasa Body was not what he had seen before. This seemed to be a technique that could temporarily boost one’s strength but would severely deplete one’s divine soul.
Wang Yufan thought for a moment, and suddenly he knew what Liu Wuxie was going to do. He looked at Li Meng’er, and divine light flickered in his eyes, directly piercing through Li Meng’er’s mask.
At this moment, Li Meng’er’s face had turned completely black, and strange runes crawled all over Li Meng’er’s cheeks, disfiguring her exquisite face.
At this moment, Wang Yufan was somewhat enraged. He had originally brought Li Meng’er to the Jidao Imperial Court to receive an inheritance, but he didn’t expect Liu Wuxie to attempt possession. He had been dead for so many years; dust to dust, ashes to ashes.
Wang Yufan didn’t know why Liu Wuxie would do this. The Liu Wuxie he knew before was not like this. But now there was no need to think too much. If Li Meng’er was not interrupted, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, Wang Yufan thought about it, and the matter might not be that simple.
"I want to see what kind of trick you old fellow are playing. The old you weren’t like this. You’ve disappointed me a bit." After Wang Yufan finished speaking, he disappeared from his original spot.
As time passed little by little, Li Meng’er continuously absorbed the cultivation technique from the cliff. And her strength also steadily increased.
Late Tribulation Transcending.
Early Human Immortal, Mid Human Immortal, Late Human Immortal.
Early Earth Immortal, Mid Earth Immortal, Late Earth Immortal.
Early Heaven Immortal, Mid Heaven Immortal, Late Heaven Immortal.
Finally, her cultivation stopped at the Late Heaven Immortal stage.
However, at this moment, in Li Meng’er’s divine soul world, an aged voice echoed.
"How many years has it been? Time passes too quickly. My divine soul is about to collapse. I never expected such luck to come upon me at this moment." As the voice fell, an old man’s figure appeared.
The old man’s divine soul was extremely weak, but strange patterns flowed on his face. Although he leaned on a crutch, his figure showed no sign of stooping.
The old man looked at Li Meng’er’s divine soul, who was meditating below with her eyes closed, and said:
"Little girl, I didn’t expect you to also possess the Rakshasa Body, and even more so, that you would open the forbidden land of my Jidao Imperial Court. I suppose this must be my instruction to future generations. I never thought that a chess piece I laid out back then would ultimately not disappoint me. Little girl, rest assured, I do not wish to take your life, nor do I wish to possess you.
This grand formation I set up, and the cultivation technique carved into the stone coffin cliff, all of this is merely to borrow a bit of vitality from you. When I was in the late God Emperor stage, I couldn’t break through to the God Venerable Realm no matter what. As my vitality was about to run out, I obtained a method to defy fate, but such a cultivation technique required someone with the Rakshasa Body like me. However, back then, I searched all over the Dao Realm but ultimately couldn’t find anyone.
At the last moment, I could only set up such a scheme and seal my divine soul within this stone coffin. When you arrived, the plan would be activated." After Liu Wuxie finished speaking, he sighed slightly.
Just as Wang Yufan thought, he was not such a person; it was just that the opportunity he encountered at that time made his divine soul unknowingly become a bit selfish.
Liu Wuxie slowly moved towards where Li Meng’er’s divine soul was. He intended to swallow the strands of golden threads scattered in front of Li Meng’er into his mouth.
Because those golden threads were Li Meng’er’s lifeline, and they were lifelines exclusive to the Rakshasa Body.
Looking at Li Meng’er’s delicate face, even Liu Wuxie couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
"What a beautiful little girl. Such beauty is enough to rival a peerless beauty. I won’t take too much; I’ll leave you some lifeline."
Just as Liu Wuxie’s voice fell, Li Meng’er’s divine soul seemed to sense something, and at this moment, she actually woke up and looked at Liu Wuxie, who stood before her, leaning on a crutch, with white hair and strange patterns on his face. Li Meng’er immediately became nervous and then spoke:
"Who are you? Why are you in my divine soul space?"
