Chapter 458 He was honest once, and ended up walking right into a trap.
But Zhang Chulan's Divine Spirit really did negate my methods! Even if I wasn't serious at the time, isn't this level of power a bit too high?
Zhang Huaiyi doesn't possess any divine abilities. Even if the Qi Source Flow can replicate, could it replicate this powerfully?
No matter how powerful Shenmingling is, or how formidable Wugensheng is, they are like the Old Celestial Master and the Celestial Master Du, mutually enhancing each other. Can Wugensheng and Shenmingling be exceptions? He is ultimately a mortal, and Shenmingling is not a celestial being; their limits are what they are.
The divine spirit merely decomposes Qi. The effect of Li Muyang's ability being eliminated by Zhang Chulan that day was indeed related to Qi, but its essence was still his original true Qi, which was evolved from spiritual energy and was at a higher level than the Qi of this world.
If his ability could be erased, then the possibility that Li Muyang could guess was that the divine spirit within Zhang Chulan might really be related to Wugensheng, or perhaps it was Wugensheng's own! It was just passed down to Zhang Chulan now.
Whether Zhang Huaiyi, who handed the divine spirit to Feng Baobao and then to Zhang Chulan, was an insider is uncertain, and Feng Baobao may even have played a part in it.
At the very least, the abnormal changes occurring in Zhang Chulan's divine spiritual nascent soul are definitely related to Feng Baobao, though Feng Baobao herself is unaware of it.
"Never mind," Li Muyang shook his head. These things weren't really his concern. He hadn't sensed anything unusual or special about Zhang Chulan, such as any fluctuations related to possession, so it wasn't a big problem.
Right now, it's still about Lu Jin and Li Muxuan.
This time, Li Muxuan had no intention of leaving alive; he was determined to fight Lu Jin to the death.
However, Li Muxuan thought that he had lived most of his life in a daze, and before he died, he wanted to do something meaningful, which was to help Lu Jin prove his Dao!
He could tell that Lu Jin had cultivated for most of his life, but he had only reached the second level of the Reverse Rebirth Triple Realm, not even the peak. Back when Zuo Ruotong sought Wugensheng to prove his Dao, the sect leader of the Sanyi Sect was already at the peak of the second level, and could even use Qi to regenerate and repair vital parts of his body.
Therefore, Li Muxuan decided to take this opportunity to help Lu Jin prove the peak of the second level of Dao!
In this way, if Lu Jin were to seek revenge against Wu Gensheng in the future, at least he wouldn't be completely powerless to fight back.
They really know how to consider Grandpa Lu's feelings (laughs).
As expected, Lu Jin successfully repaired his chest and internal organs after the two opened their hearts to each other, and reached the peak of the second level.
Then, amidst Li Muxuan's loud laughter, Lu Jin stepped forward and gave him a good beating, each punch landing squarely.
Having vented his anger by beating Li Muxuan up, Lu Jin also laid down the law for him: He wanted a way out? Fine! But he had to completely sever ties with the Quanxing Sect! Including Wugensheng!
Unfortunately, Li Muxuan has now truly shown himself some sincerity. Leaving the Quanxing Sect? Fine! Severing ties with Wugensheng? No way!
How lucky Li Muxuan was! Others would be fortunate enough to meet one good teacher in their lifetime, but he was different! He met three, who taught him, imparted knowledge, and answered his questions, but he didn't listen to a single one of them properly. If he could have learned from just one good teacher, he wouldn't be in his current situation. But he didn't listen to any of them, which made him truly deserving of the title of Immortal.
Now, Li Muxuan has figured it out. He wants to be honest with himself. He acknowledges all three mentors, but unfortunately, Zuo Ruotong and Wang Yaozu are no longer alive. So, only Wugensheng remains. He doesn't know if Wugensheng is still alive, but if he is, Li Muxuan will serve him.
I know you, Lu Jin, hate Wugensheng, that's alright! This has nothing to do with you. You should take your revenge. I never intended to stop you from taking your revenge. However, leaving Quanxing today was my own choice, while becoming Wugensheng's disciple was Li Muxuan's choice!
That's all I have to say. Please feel free to do as you please.
Lu Jin's face darkened immediately, and she wanted to finish off Li Muxuan!
We really ran right into his line of fire!
Lu Jin hated Wugensheng, but had no problem with his abilities; he hated Li Muxuan, but hated the guy's choice!
Li Muxuan clearly knew what the best course of action was, yet he always managed to mess things up. It was like a yes or no choice; Li Muxuan could have chosen either option, but he chose "or."
But just as Lu Jin was about to deliver a powerful blow, wanting to thoroughly understand Li Muxuan, for some reason, he glanced at Zhang Xuanlin and Hong Anguo over there, and then his gaze fell on Li Muyang, who was sitting next to Zhang Chulan.
A sentence suddenly flashed through my mind.
Suddenly, a twisted smile appeared on Lu Jin's face. He switched from daggers to claws, grabbed the half-dead Li Muxuan by the collar, pulled him close, and said viciously, "Hmph, haha... Li Muxuan! You still want to go find Wugensheng? You still want to be his disciple? Hehehe... Don't fucking dream about it! That internet cafe lawn is dead! Long dead! Hahaha!"
Li Muxuan, who had been on the verge of death, suddenly widened his eyes, as if experiencing a final burst of energy before death. He roared in disbelief and anger, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! What kind of strength does Wugensheng have? How could he be dead? I'm perfectly fine! How could he be dead! Lu Jin, you lied to me! You actually tried to lie to me! Hahaha! I almost fell for your trick!"
Lu Jin sneered and released his grip. Li Muxuan immediately fell to the ground powerless again. The two old men glared at each other fiercely, their expressions full of mockery.
Then, Lu Jin pointed at Hong Anguo, Zhang Xuanlin, and Li Muyang, and said jokingly, "Let me tell you! The news that Wugensheng is dead was told to me by Old Zhang, Old Hong, and this kid above! They all helped me calculate Wugensheng's current situation! There's only one conclusion they came up with! He's dead!"
Upon hearing this, Li Muxuan was stunned, finding it difficult to accept the reality that Wugensheng was dead. After a long while, he suddenly realized something and excitedly shouted, "Impossible! It's fake! It's all fake! The sect leader must have found a way to conceal the secrets of heaven! Yes! That's right! Isn't Gu Jiting by the sect leader's side? Doesn't he know how to do it too?"
Lu Jin was also taken aback. It was indeed possible! After all, judging from Gu Jiting's Eight Extraordinary Techniques and the limited information from the Great Luo Cave Observation, there might really be a way to conceal the sky.
However, to everyone's surprise, Li Muyang said calmly, "Although I don't want to discourage you, it's impossible. The reason why the three of us calculated Wugensheng's whereabouts is not by relying on inner vision or the Heavenly Dao. The method of concealing the secrets of heaven is naturally ineffective. It is a higher level of deduction."
"...Then how do you explain that you could only calculate one thing: someone without a root is dead?" Lu Jin asked. This was one of the reasons he didn't quite believe it, because the three people, including Li Muyang, all calculated that someone had died in a vague way. How did they die? They didn't know. Where did they die? They didn't know! They knew nothing about any of the questions.
How could this make him believe in the concept of rootless life and death?
Hong Anguo and Zhang Xuanlin did not answer. They might not have understood this answer before, but it was no longer a problem. They would leave the answer to Li Muyang.
Li Muyang continued calmly, "To be honest, I didn't quite understand what was going on before, but I do now. It's because I recently killed one of them, someone who died completely and whose fate was impossible to predict. If I hadn't killed him myself, I probably wouldn't have been able to guess how he died."
"And how did he die? I erased him from the river of time, completely and utterly erased him. From that moment on, he no longer exists in any time or space, now or in the future!"
Yes, even Li Muyang couldn't figure out Muir V.
If Li Muyang hadn't personally intervened, he wouldn't have been able to say how the guy died. No matter how he tried to deduce it, he could only get the answer "dead." If he really wanted to deduce it, he would need more advanced methods.
In any case, Li Muyang definitely can't do it without using the Great Luo Dao Fruit.
Upon hearing this abstract method of death, not only were Lu Jin and Li Muxuan dumbfounded, but everyone in the room except Zhang Xuanlin and Hong Anguo were stunned. Then, they started discussing among themselves: Does such a method really exist?
If anyone else said that, they would definitely think it was bragging, but since it was Li Muyang who said it... they would have to consider the possibility.
Because Old Li really isn't from this world! He's a legendary Qi Refining cultivator, and his methods are ridiculously powerful!
Li Muxuan still couldn't believe Wugen was dead. He stared intently at Li Muyang and questioned, "You mean, the sect leader was also erased from the river of time by someone?"
This time, before Li Muyang could speak, Zhang Xuanlin spoke first, saying, "Old Li, Muyang is right. Wugensheng is indeed dead. Before, I only knew he was dead, but I didn't know why I could only calculate that he was dead. Now I understand. It's probably because Wugensheng was erased from a higher level by some kind of abstract concept, possibly something like the Heavenly Dao rules, a conceptual existence."
Hong Anguo added leisurely, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the secret he was researching back then, which involves some higher-level things. Perhaps it wasn't someone else who did it, but he just saw it and was wiped out by the backlash. There's no doubt that such a thing exists!"
"If Old Zhang's original body were still here, he could do it easily!"
Zhang Xuanlin and Hong Anguo, two reincarnated old monsters, made the decision, leaving Lu Jin and Li Muxuan stunned and falling into silence.
The two who made the decision looked at Lu Jin and Li Muxuan with worried expressions. To be honest, they were even more afraid now! Originally, it might have been just Li Muxuan who died, but now... what if both of them did something rash?
Or... go to the underworld and bring Zuo Ruotong and the others from the Sanyi Sect up to let Lu Jin and Li Muxuan meet them?
The two exchanged glances with Li Muyang, only to find that he seemed completely oblivious to everything around him, gazing at the sky with an air of indifference.
Zhang Xuanlin and Hong Anguo were both helpless. Well, this matter had little to do with Li Muyang, and it was indeed inappropriate to ask Li Muyang to make a special trip to the underworld. Whether he could find the person or not, and whether he could bring him out, were all problems! Let them handle it themselves.
