Chapter 917: Chapter 125: Boundless Mountains and Rivers Qi Fortune, The Righteous Tao of the Human Emperor
“Resonance?”
“If the entire world is divided into nine, each named after the Nine Provinces.”
“And we gain the support of the people from each region, mix the Nine Provinces Gold Iron, cast nine large cauldrons, each bearing one-ninth of the Divine Charm of the Nine Provinces Tripod, then place them all over the world, wouldn’t this Fortune Array covering Jiangnan cover the entire world?”
“Unification of the world, Four Seas unified…”
Li Guanyi propped his chin, pondering aimlessly.
Tap!
A finger poked at Li Guanyi’s forehead.
Cool to the touch.
It brought Li Guanyi out of his thoughts, he looked up and saw the girl in Stargazer robes crouching in front of him, her finger dipped in water, gently tapping his brow. The silver-haired girl’s voice was quiet:
“Your aunt wants you to go.”
“She’s cooking personally today.”
“Alright.”
Li Guanyi nodded with a smile.
After forging the Nine Tripods, Li Guanyi had been very busy, either at the Heavenly Strategy Mansion or beside the Nine Tripods. Now that the Nine Tripods were completely settled, it was time to visit his aunt and others. But as he smiled and stood up, his gaze slightly tightened.
He looked at the silver-haired girl over there.
Perhaps due to forging the Nine Tripods, or maybe because he was in Jiangnan, or perhaps because he was currently carrying the [Fake Emperor Divine Skill], Li Guanyi’s pupils naturally possessed a gentle Divine Charm, allowing him to see things he couldn’t see before.
Shaking Light was surrounded by a layer of soft starlight.
Brilliant and clear.
Just like the feeling she gave people.
But amid this starlight, there was a streak of dark light, hidden within, vaguely resonating with [Qi Fortune][Masses], which Li Guanyi could sense only because he bore the Qi Fortune of the masses and the power of the Nine Tripods.
Even Siming, Murong Longtu of Martial Arts Legend, and the Whale Hunter seemed unable to detect this presence.
How did Shaking Light have this?
Li Guanyi slightly lowered his gaze and reached out to hold the girl’s hand poking his forehead.
Then he stood up.
When they first met, Li Guanyi was not much taller than Shaking Light.
Now as he stood, the girl only reached his chest. Li Guanyi held Shaking Light’s hand with his left hand, his gaze focused only on that murky Qi Fortune on Shaking Light’s body, while his right hand reached out to rest on the girl’s head.
The silver-haired girl froze for a moment.
Li Guanyi’s fingers grasped that streak of dark light, and in an instant, the Nine Tripods roared. It was as if Li Guanyi could hear countless people chanting in different languages, the sound seemed to come from far away—
There was the great desert, there was raging sand.
There were sects scattered and hidden in different places.
In an instant, Li Guanyi understood the origin of this—
[Demon Sect].
Combining what the Whale Hunter said, Li Guanyi immediately understood the origin of the thing on Shaking Light. Under the coverage of the Nine Tripods Divine Weapon Fortune Array, Li Guanyi’s perception greatly increased, focusing his spirit to hear faint voices.
Two people, a man and a woman, were conversing.
The man said: ‘[Weapon] has arrived?’
The woman replied indifferently: ‘It will come, rest assured, according to our information, that [Weapon] is inexplicably with the red-hot Marquis Qin Wu as we speak, and given the current grand trend, there’s over an eighty percent chance Marquis Qin Wu will come to the Western Regions.’
‘You seem sure.’
The woman sighed: ‘It’s not that I can see clearly, before things happen I couldn’t devise a strategy, but now that the worldly trend has changed to this level, it’s not hard to say something after the fact.’
‘It’s just that devising a strategy before things happen and saying something after is the difference between genius and mediocre.’
The elderly man’s voice said: ‘Heh, regardless of your talk about mediocrity and genius.’
‘We, following the method of [Emperor Divine Skill], used that [material] as a vessel like the Divine Weapon, originally channeling the public’s heart accumulated over hundreds of years into her body, thoroughly imbuing her with Qi Fortune, so the young girl can become a peerless master.’
‘Become a tool of our Holy Sect, devoid of emotion, only knowing how to obey orders.’
‘Unfortunately, just as we erased her emotional fluctuations, she was disrupted. But no matter how thorough the Whale Hunter’s action was, he couldn’t kill all of us, our Holy Sect has too many disciples for him to handle.’
‘Hiding that [Weapon] among the Three Sects of the World and killing everywhere himself, but so what, if that [Weapon] comes with Marquis Qin Wu to the Western Regions, as soon as it steps in we can detect it, the traces from the prior Great Sacrifice ritual can be used for control.’
The woman said: ‘What about the Whale Hunter?’
The elder sneered: ‘With the divination teachings of the great sect, the Whale Hunter can die by his daughter’s hand. If that [Weapon] strikes the Whale Hunter, he won’t retaliate at the first moment.’
‘This lifetime of a waif, ending at his daughter’s hands.’
‘Can be considered without regret.’
They were discussing matters regarding the [Weapon].
Yet they didn’t know this connection was discerned by Li Guanyi, who carried the Qi of mountains and rivers and the masses. Li Guanyi’s gaze dropped slightly.
The silver-haired girl looked up quietly at him, eyes clear.
“How long are you going to keep touching my head?”
Li Guanyi hesitated, then smiled slightly: “There’s a bug on your head.”
He lifted his hand, fingers pinched together.
The grand Sword Intent of the Chi Xiao Sword turned into gold-red brilliance.
Gently slicing through.
At the same time, the Qi Fortune of over two thousand territories in Jiangnan rose from the Nine Tripods, converging upon him in an instant, with just one sword, severing that stream of light. The grand flame of the Chi Xiao Sword reversed and ascended, relentlessly pursuing along the stream.
Meanwhile, in the Demon Sect Secret Realm of the Western Regions, an old man and woman were discussing past matters, merely aiming to control the [Weapon] and fulfill the plan built up over hundreds of years, yet at this moment, suddenly sensed something amiss.
Within the formation, the control over the [Weapon] suddenly severed.
The elder was momentarily stunned, then suddenly saw that the dark stream of light representing the Demon Sect believers’ myriad wishes began to blaze fiercely, and at the same time, a sound seemed to arise, indifferent, serene, vast and boundless, descending from these myriad wishes—
“Slash!”
