Chapter 168: Fear
Hearing Li Meng’er’s soul questioning him, Liu Wuxie smiled and said, "Hahaha, little girl, isn’t it normal for me to be in your soul space? You have the Rakshasa Body, and so do I. How else would I teach you the Rakshasa Body cultivation technique if I wasn’t in your soul space? It’s truly not easy; I’ve waited for this day for too long. Once I get out and return to this Dao Realm, I must make my Jidao Imperial Court the strongest among the Five Great Imperial Courts."
"By the way, girl, do you know if among the Five Great Imperial Courts in this Dao Realm, my Jidao Imperial Court is still the strongest?" After Liu Wuxie finished speaking, he stared at Li Meng’er. Li Meng’er thought for a moment; after all, she had only recently arrived here with Wang Yufan and didn’t know much about the matters here. However, one thing she did know was that among the Five Great Imperial Courts, the Jidao Imperial Court was not the strongest.
Li Meng’er looked at Liu Wuxie and said, "Junior thanks senior for imparting the Rakshasa Body cultivation technique, but junior doesn’t like others staying in my soul. I don’t want my secrets to be seen by others. Also, regarding the Five Great Imperial Courts that senior just asked about, currently, the Tiandao Imperial Court in the central region is dominant, while the other Imperial Courts are slightly behind."
Upon hearing Li Meng’er’s words, Liu Wuxie quickly asked, "What realms are they all in now? Have they broken through to the God Venerable Realm? And what is the current strength of our Lord of the Jidao Imperial Court?" Liu Wuxie asked a series of questions, which directly made Li Meng’er unsure how to answer.
"Senior, as far as junior knows, the Tiandao Imperial Court is the strongest, and the Lord of the Imperial Court of the Tiandao Imperial Court has already reached the God Emperor Realm. The Lord of the Imperial Courts of the other Imperial Courts distributed in the southeast, northwest are in the God King Realm, as for who among them is more powerful, that’s uncertain."
Upon hearing what Li Meng’er said, Liu Wuxie clearly guessed that the situation was basically as he had thought.
So he directly asked Li Meng’er, saying, "From your tone just now, you shouldn’t be from the Dao Realm, right!"
Li Meng’er replied, "I have a few companions who came from a lower plane; we all came together."
Upon hearing Li Meng’er’s words, Liu Wuxie’s eyes lit up; this was good news. He knew that the hardships of reaching the Dao Realm from the lower realm were not something ordinary people could endure, and it also required a certain level of innate talent.
After he revived, he must remember everything Li Meng’er said, so he could find Li Qiye and others to become disciples of his Jidao Imperial Court.
"Alright, girl, close your eyes now. I’m going to perform the inheritance secret technique on your soul. You must endure this; the process might be painful, but you must persevere and believe that you can do it." As Li Meng’er spoke, she closed her eyes, and Liu Wuxie, seeing this scene, a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Still too young, but it doesn’t matter; this old man is just borrowing a bit of your life force." As Liu Wuxie spoke, he directly reached out with one hand towards the golden threads swirling above Li Meng’er’s head.
At this moment, Wang Yufan, who was hiding somewhere in Li Meng’er’s soul space, slowly followed Liu Wuxie’s soul after it left. Wang Yufan always felt that this old man’s personality had changed a lot, and from the two strange patterns on Liu Wuxie’s soul body, he had some suspicions.
Indeed, just as two-thirds of Li Meng’er’s lifelines were taken, he stood up and burst into laughter.
"This old man is finally no longer existing in a soul state. However, I should thank that bear cub, but before that, this old man needs to thank someone." After Liu Wuxie finished speaking, he walked towards an altar outside this formation and picked up the black incense that had been placed next to the censer for ten thousand years.
Because this black incense could bring about rapid progress and the wonder of resurrection. After Liu Wuxie lit it, the smoke directly drifted upwards. Suddenly, the altar in front of Liu Wuxie began to shake.
A voice, neither male nor female, appeared, raising its tone, "Who is calling me?"
Hearing this voice, Liu Wuxie immediately knelt down and said, "My Lord, it’s been a long time, hasn’t it?" Liu Wuxie’s aged voice directly reached the ears of the neither male nor female entity.
"So it’s you. How is it, the method I taught you seems to have worked. If I can let you live today, I can also make you die tomorrow."
"Yes, My Lord, I am very grateful for My Lord’s grace of rebirth," Liu Wuxie nodded and said.
Hearing Liu Wuxie’s words, the voice on the altar came again.
"No need. Since your resurrection has worked, it is now time for you to fulfill your promise; from now on, you must pledge allegiance to my Demon Race."
Upon hearing this, Liu Wuxie’s heart struggled violently. He wasn’t afraid of becoming a member of the Demon Race. However, the first condition for pledging allegiance to the Demon Race was to infect everyone in their Jidao Imperial Court to become demons.
This matter made him uneasy, and he then said, "My Lord, I can pledge allegiance, but I don’t want to use the disciples of my Jidao Imperial Court as a personal requirement. Can we change it? Besides, these were all things you did back then, and I never agreed to them."
And upon hearing Liu Wuxie’s words, the voice on the altar seemed somewhat angry, and it spoke again, "Liu Wuxie, you must believe that I can give you all of this, and I can also easily take away everything that doesn’t belong to you, including your life. The power of my Demon Race is beyond your imagination. Even your ancient Divine Race is not our opponent."
"Then, My Lord, I’m afraid I cannot obey. If you want me to deal with others, that’s fine, but to lay hands on the people of my Jidao Imperial Court, I am the first to refuse." Liu Wuxie’s words began to grow firm.
However, this state did not last long and gradually showed signs of decline.
Because on Liu Wuxie’s face, two demonic patterns continuously moved, drilling down into Liu Wuxie’s body.
"So the Texture you gave me back then to enhance my cultivation was actually a demonic pattern; you no longer trusted me back then."
Hearing Liu Wuxie speak like this, the voice on the altar remained silent, as if tacitly acknowledging that such a thing had happened.
"Hmph, although I fear death, my only goal is to make our Jidao Imperial Court stronger. The possession technique you gave me, I only slightly modified it. I don’t want to abuse the next generation of people with the Rakshasa Body, just like me, for the sake of a meager existence. I think these people might be your biggest obstacle in invading this Dao Realm."
Liu Wuxie’s voice echoed continuously, and all of this was heard clearly by Wang Yufan, who was hidden in the space.
