One more catty, one more attribute point-Chapter 516 - 431: Li Hongxiu’s Choice; The Challenger

Chapter 516: Chapter 431: Li Hongxiu’s Choice; The Challenger

The gentle breeze on Snow Mountain causes the Bodhi Tree to rustle, and dapples of golden light shimmer through the lush canopy. Below the clear lake flows a rapid stream, sprinkled with many fist-sized black pebbles, now splashing water, bringing the gurgling sound of the stream.

Su Heng sits on the table, revealing a look of interest on his face.

“I knew I would never be disappointed here,” Su Heng sets down the teapot in his hand and asks, “But cultivating the World Will, what kind of Magic Method is that?”

“It’s a Secret Technique previously acquired by the Great Yue Dynasty from the realm of immortality.”

The Ming Daoist’s gaze is distant as he points to the flowing stream and says softly: “Just as water flows downwards, after the World Will disperses, it will undergo a process of re-condensation. If certain methods are applied during this process, anyone could make the re-condensed World Will their own.

...

The key lies in… a person.”

“Please enlighten me,” Su Heng nods, his face pensive.

“This Secret Technique is called ‘Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Divine Power.’ It hasn’t been widely disseminated because its requirements are too stringent, requiring the right vessel to fuse with the yet-to-be-born World Will. Moreover, during this process, one must maintain a clear mind with great determination, until finally substituting one’s will for that of the heavens, only then can it be deemed a true success.”

“The crux lies in choosing the vessel.” Su Heng frowns as he waits quietly for the Ming Daoist to continue.

Based on his understanding of the Ming Daoist.

A plan that cannot be implemented would not be spoken from the lips of the Ming Daoist.

“You’re right.”

The Ming Daoist nods and calmly says, “Normally speaking, such a vessel is extremely difficult to find among millions of people. At least in the era I lived in, such a Magic Method was never successful.”

“However, you’re lucky,” the Ming Daoist speaks at this moment, “Such a candidate, we know one among our acquaintances.”

“Who?”

Su Heng asks, though he already has an inkling of the answer in his mind.

The Ming Daoist says, “Li Hongxiu.”

…

…

…

Boom!

A distant rumble comes from a faraway volcano.

In a room with dimming light, Li Hongxiu, who’s been lying on the table, also gradually starts to wake up.

She first slightly moves her shoulders that have become sore from maintaining the same position for a long time, then stands up from the chair.

Pouring herself a cup of tea from the small wooden table beside her, while holding the black jade cup, she walks over to the window and “clicks” it open.

The scorching wind immediately blows in.

Mixed with the smell of gunpowder and dust, yet not unpleasant.

The sky is overcast, and the enormous, dark Taibola Volcano stands tall amidst the gloom. From a great distance, it looms barely visible as a vast shadow. As the Blood Realm Will fades and the influx of Chaotic Power from the realm of immortality increases, the Doomsday Volcano becomes unstable, starting to erupt irregularly; massive amounts of lava and flames spew forth from the dark crater.

Blood-red lightning plummets through the gathering storm clouds.

Such a scene is magnificent.

Life inside the Blood Realm is actually quite dull; with her safety secured, Li Hongxiu doesn’t mind treating the scene she sees now as some form of entertainment.

Bang!

Once Li Hongxiu finishes the tea in her hand, she closes the window.

At this moment, a rhythmic knocking comes from outside.

She feels a slight movement in her heart.

A surge of Spiritual Power radiates from her body, and a fluffy fox appears before her, standing upright, gently pulling down on the doorknob with its forelimb.

The “click” of the latch is followed immediately by the entrance of a burly figure.

It is Zhao Zongwu.

He holds a document in his hand.

Handing it over to Li Hongxiu, he says, “The Flame Giants we captured earlier, as per your orders, plan to build a new temple on the volcano, along with accompanying facilities.”

Li Hongxiu takes the document, glances through it, then her brows slightly furrow.

“This won’t be an easy task.”

Li Hongxiu turns to look outside the window, as Su Heng’s leading lackey, she has an understanding of Su Heng’s thoughts.

Su Heng plans to move some facilities from Baihua County into the Blood Realm and further transform it into the center of his territory.

Such thought would have been sound before.

But with the dissipation of the Blood Realm Will, the power within the Blood Realm has gradually become unstable.

This change brings about a series of issues; newly constructed buildings are destroyed by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and now to undertake construction on Taibola Volcano, one can imagine the difficulties that will be encountered. Although the Flame Giants possess innate strength, accomplishing such a feat will not be easy.

Zhao Zongwu says, “That’s their problem to ponder, we just need to carry out the master’s will.”

“Perhaps…”

Li Hongxiu shrugs her shoulders and then moves to the cabinet in the corner.

She stands on tiptoe and takes out a seal representing Su Heng’s authority from the top drawer, pressing it skillfully onto the document.

The document is thereby approved.

Li Hongxiu hands the now-reviewed document back to Zhao Zongwu.

He takes it, nods slightly at Li Hongxiu in appreciation, and then hastily strides away.

“Ah!”

In the now solitary room, which feels somewhat empty.

A candle in the corner silently burns. Li Hongxiu stretches with a yawn.

At this time of day, work usually ends, and under normal circumstances, no one else would come looking for her.
