Within the Very High Heavens Dao Emperor Palace, Zi Changluo was still feeling uneasy. A few days had passed but Gongshu Shipan still hadn't sent any news over.
It was fine if Gongshu Shipan didn't send any news, but the sects that usually sent him news of the Immortal World also didn't send any news.
No, waiting like this wasn't a solution. If Mo Wuji didn't kill a Dao Emperor, Zi Changluo wouldn't have cared too much. The key was that Mo Wuji's battle achievements were too valiant; he could even kill Lun Pa. One must know that even he couldn't kill Lun Pa.
"Men, invite Lei Hongji over." Zi Changluo decided not to wait any longer.
"Yes." A reply came from outside the Dao Emperor Palace.
In less than half an incense's time, an extremely deep voice came from outside, "Master, you're looking for me?"
Zi Changluo smiled warmly and said, "Hongji, come in. I have some instructions for you."
"Yes, master." The tall and sturdy Lei Hongji walked in. Compared to when he first arrived at the Very High Heavens, his entire body was covered in lightning. At this moment, his body no longer had any lightning essence energy.
Zi Changluo nodded satisfactorily, "Not bad, not bad. Among all my disciples, you're the only one with truly shocking talent. Your Immortal Emperor aura has completely stabilised and you already have the dao aura of a grandmaster. "
Lei Hongji bowed respectfully and said, "Master is overpraising me. Compared to my senior brothers, Hongji is still far from it."
Zi Changluo pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Hongji, you and I are master and disciple on the surface. In reality, we're just like father and son. There's no need to feel restrained here."
Lei Hongji bowed once more before sitting down. Zi Changluo also sat down. However, after Zi Changluo sat down, he brought out a teapot and placed it at the corner of the table. He said, "Hongji, Master is slightly sorry. I want to borrow something from you. "
Lei Hongji stood up once more and said humbly, "Master doesn't need to borrow anything from your disciple. You just need to tell your disciple. "
With that, Lei Hongji took the initiative to pour a cup of immortal tea for Zi Changluo.
Zi Changluo received the immortal tea, but he didn't drink it. Instead, he placed the tea back on the table and said, "This thing is also very important to you. That's why master feels so guilty …"
Lei Hongji smiled and said, "Master, please speak. As long as I, Lei Hongji, have any excess, I won't mind."
Zi Changluo was slightly startled. He could naturally tell that there was something wrong with Lei Hongji's words. What did he mean by unnecessary?
"Hong Ji, I know that your Spirit Root is extraordinary. It should be a Spirit Root that can be upgraded, right? To be honest, I, Zi Changluo, have never seen a spiritual root that could advance on its own. I've already stepped into the Dao Emperor Stage for an unknown number of years. My talent and potential have already reached the limit. At the limit, I want to borrow your spiritual roots … "After Zi Changluo finished speaking, he looked calmly at Lei Hongji.
Lei Hongji didn't seem to be surprised. Instead, he said indifferently, "I'm afraid I can't lend it to you."
"Sigh, this isn't up to you, nor is it up to me. You should be able to tell that this teapot of mine is an array foundation right? It's just that it's useless even if you take it away from the corner of the table. This place has already been sealed by a trap array that even I can't open. "Zi Changluo sighed. At the same time, he stood up and slapped towards Lei Hongji.
This deathtrap array was something that he obtained from the Heaven's Beyond Cosmos. It was a Grade 9 immortal array. The moment it was activated, anyone besides him would have their immortal elemental energy and spiritual will sealed.
However, just as Zi Changluo raised his hand, his expression changed. He discovered that his immortal elemental energy and spiritual will were still within his body. However, he just couldn't use them.
"You …" Zi Changluo's heart sunk. Even an idiot would know that something was amiss.
Lei Hongji said indifferently, "I thought that you would wait for a period of time. I didn't think that you would be so impatient. You've really disappointed me."
"You knew?" Zi Changluo's heart sunk to the bottom of the valley.
Lei Hongji's tone remained calm, "If I didn't know, I, Lei Hongji, wouldn't have reached this stage. To be honest, I really admire you. You're the first person to fully understand how heaven-defying my spiritual roots are. Even if you didn't act today, I would have done so a few days later. "
"I'm your master." Zi Changluo growled. He didn't shout; he knew that shouting would be useless in this deathtrap array.
Lei Hongji shook his head and said with slight disdain, "You can only be considered my fifth master. Oh right, do you know what happened to the first four masters?"
"What happened?" Zi Changluo subconsciously asked.
Lei Hongji said slowly, "My first master helped me open my meridians. He was the first person to discover that my spiritual roots could be upgraded. Later on, he died. My second master was a Star Lord. He passed countless cultivation resources to me. Later on, he also died. My third master was the master that I accepted after I came to the Immortal World. He had a nickname, Grand Emperor Heaven Poison … "
"Heaven Poison?" Zi Changluo's expression changed. He finally understood why he was like this. So he was poisoned. How could he not know the name of Grand Emperor Heaven Poison? This was a person that even he didn't dare to offend. It's rumoured that this person could even poison the heavens. Anyone that met him would die without a doubt.
Lei Hongji's emotionless voice continued, "Later on, he also died. My fourth master is called Lei Guyun. I heard that he died a few days ago. He's also the only master that I didn't personally kill. You're the fifth. Originally, you could have waited for a few more days. Ai … "
"Tell me, how did I get poisoned, and how did you survive my deathtrap array? Otherwise, I will die with everlasting regrets …" Zi Changluo shouted harshly.
"Who says I'm fine? What does your everlasting regret have to do with me? "Lei Hongji suddenly pulled out a short sword from his sleeves and walked in front of Zi Changluo.
"So you weren't able to break my deathtrap array …" A hint of hope suddenly appeared in Zi Changluo's eyes. Lei Hongji was the same as him; he didn't have any immortal elemental energy or spiritual will.
Lei Hongji revealed a hint of ridicule, "I'm different from you. You were poisoned by me and your entire body went soft. On the other hand, I don't have any immortal elemental energy or spiritual will. I can still move like an ordinary mortal."
"Hahaha …" Zi Changluo chuckled loudly. He was a Dao Emperor. Without spiritual will or immortal elemental energy, Zi Changluo would be fine even if Lei Hongji killed him for a hundred years.
There was no need to talk about a hundred years. If he didn't leave for a few days, his subordinates would start to suspect him.
"..." Zi Changluo's laughter came to an abrupt halt. Lei Hongji clearly didn't have any immortal elemental energy or spiritual will. However, the sword in Lei Hongji's hand easily pierced through his forehead, destroyed his sea of consciousness, and destroyed his primordial spirit and soul …
"What sword is this?" Zi Changluo muttered. He didn't expect Lei Hongji to give him an answer. He was thinking about his own life.
In his life, he ruled the Immortal World, lived in the Very High Heavens, and became a Dao Emperor. What kind of scenery had he not enjoyed? What kind of things had he not seen?
He didn't expect that he would die so easily, so simply. If he could turn back time, he would rather die in battle in the Very High Heavens' Cosmos Immortal City.
"This sword is called Tian Ji. To be able to die under the hands of the Tian Ji Sword and I, Lei Hongji, is an honour for you. Oh right, do you want to know why you were poisoned? I helped you pour a cup of immortal tea that you didn't drink, "Lei Hongji said faintly.
Honour? Zi Changluo's eyes revealed a look of self-mockery and ridicule. In his life, he had killed countless people and plotted against countless friends. Today, he died under the hands of his own disciple. This could be considered a form of return.
"Kacha!" Zi Changluo's primordial spirit shattered and his fleshly body dissipated. A drop of vital blood was taken out by Lei Hongji. Countless dao runes landed on that drop of vital blood. In less than two hours, a palm-sized array disc appeared in Lei Hongji's hands.
Lei Hongji grabbed the array disc, extracted a bead from Zi Changluo's fleshly body, then removed Zi Changluo's storage ring. Only then did he walk out.
When he reached the door, he carefully formed the seals on the door. Only then did he say to the empty space, "My master suddenly had an epiphany. He needs to go into seclusion for 49 days. Even if it's an urgent matter, don't disturb my master. "
"Yes." A few voices came from the darkness.
Lei Hongji nodded, then walked out of the Dao Emperor Palace unhurriedly.
…
Just as Mo Wuji was about to leave Ping Fan Immortal School, four figures stopped him. These four people were three men and one woman. He actually recognised three of them.
Six Paths Immortal Domain's Heavenly Emperor Gai Qing, Green Immortal House's Second Floor Lord Qing Yang. Those years ago, when he first met Qing Yang, she was still a Quasi-Emperor. Now, she was already in the early Immortal Emperor Stage. The third person was Great Kun Buddhist Sect's Heng Ke.
Great Kun Buddhist Sect's Heng Ke. This fella actually dared to appear in front of him. The reason why he didn't go and destroy the Great Kun Buddhist Sect wasn't because he didn't care, but because he truly didn't have the time.
"Sect Head Mo!" Before Mo Wuji could fly into a rage, the four of them clasped their fists in greeting. Among them, Heng Ke even bowed respectfully.
Mo Wuji sneered. Even though the person who teamed up with Jin Yusheng, Lei Guyun and Yi Minghu to deal with him wasn't Heng Ke, but the Great Kun Buddhist Sect's Guang Xing, Mo Wuji still couldn't swallow this anger. Back then, if Guang Xing didn't block his path, he wouldn't have fallen into the encirclement.
"The three of you, please wait a moment. I have some debts to settle today." Mo Wuji's killing intent surged.
Heng Ke seemed to know that Mo Wuji wanted to kill him. He didn't wait for Mo Wuji to act as he placed his palms together and said, "Sect Head Mo, what happened back then was due to my Great Kun Buddhist Sect's greed. Guang Xing was the head of a sect, but he actually committed such acts of robbery. Guang Xing knew that his sins were grave. In order not to implicate the sect, Guang Xing had already entered the reincarnation cycle a few days ago. "
Guang Xing committed suicide? However, would Guang Xing's suicide cause him to give up on his revenge? Wasn't he, Mo Wuji, too easy to talk to? Back then, if it wasn't for the star locket that Ji Li gave him, even with his Revolving Star Passage Technique and God Physique, he would have definitely died.
This Guang Xing was still able to see the opportunity to commit suicide. He truly had some guts.
"Amitabha. We all know about Sect Head Mo's grievances. It's just that the Seven Great Immortal Domains are in danger. This monk would like to plead for Sect Head Mo to temporarily put this karma aside. "The one speaking was the only monk that Mo Wuji didn't recognise.
