Chu Li nodded calmly.
Enlightened Masters were different from mortals. Once they made an oath, they would be connected to heaven and earth. If they disobeyed the oath, they would be punished by lightning and would never be able to reincarnate.
Leng Shouren's face darkened as he glared at Chu Li. "Are you satisfied now?"
Chu Li smiled. "Don't blame me, Your Majesty. I just don't want the people to suffer. As a Celestial Being, I naturally want everyone to ascend to heaven. There's no need to rush."
Leng Zhifei's face darkened. He scoffed and looked at Leng Shouren with disappointment. "Letting the Grandmasters ascend is for the sake of the Grandmaster. Once the Grandmaster falls into the Asura's Boundary, we won't be able to escape. Chu Li, you're so disregarding the bigger picture. How disappointing!"
Leng Shouren was not going to amount to much. If he died, he would at most return to the Grandmaster to be punished. As long as he completed his mission and let more Grandmasters ascend to heaven, he would be exempted from punishment and the Ji Dynasty would be strengthened. Hence, he did not have to care about his own life.
However, Leng Shouren was not calm and clear. He was swayed by his emotions and was soft-hearted. Even though it was for him, Leng Zhifei still felt disappointed and dissatisfied with Leng Shouren. He felt that it would be difficult for the ancestral foundation to be strengthened in his hands.
Now that the world was in chaos, the Ji Dynasty would be in danger if they met an Emperor who was outwardly strong but inwardly weak!
Once the oath was made, there would be no war and his mission would be difficult to complete. It would be useless even if he stayed here for a long time. Leng Shouren was useless!
His heart was filled with dissatisfaction but he suppressed it.
Chu Li smiled. "Actually, there's no need to rush. Back then, there weren't many Grandmasters who could ascend to the Grandmaster's Boundary. Normal Grandmasters would still have to enter the cycle of reincarnation after death. However, things have changed in the past two years. Every Grandmaster can ascend to heaven after death. It's obvious that the Grandmaster's Boundary has relaxed its restrictions."
Back then, only the Holy Church of Light and a few other sects could ascend to the Grandmaster's Boundary. It was extremely rare. Normal Grandmasters would still have to enter the cycle of reincarnation after death and could not ascend to the Grandmaster's Boundary.
However, it was different now. It seemed like any Grandmaster who died could enter the Grandmaster's Boundary. It seemed like a good thing, but it gave him a sense of danger. It was a sign of chaos.
Previously, Grandmasters were not able to enter the Grandmaster's Boundary because they cherished their lives. Conflicts were avoided as much as possible, especially between Grandmasters. However, now that they could enter the Grandmaster's Boundary once they died, they were no longer afraid of death. Once they were not afraid of death, how could they be restrained?
How many people would be able to suppress a Grandmaster who had broken free from the shackles? How could the world not be in chaos?
At the end of the day, it was all a conspiracy by the Grandmasters. This made Chu Li hate the Grandmasters even more.
Leng Zhifei frowned at Chu Li.
Chu Li said, "Since the Grandmaster can relax its restrictions once, it can be relaxed a second time. Maybe even an Innate Master can enter the Grandmaster's Boundary, right? When that time comes, will Realm Beyond Avalon have to worry about not having enough manpower? "
"It's impossible to relax it to the Innate Realm!" Leng Zhifei snorted.
Chu Li chuckled and said sarcastically, "Is there anything the Grandmasters can't do?"
Leng Zhifei shook his head and said, "Grandmasters can quickly recover their cultivation level if they go there, but Innate Masters can't. It's useless even if they go there. That's why the Grandmaster can't relax its restrictions to Innate Masters."
Chu Li nodded thoughtfully, "That's why you Celestials want to create more Grandmasters and let more Grandmasters die. The battlefield can stimulate one's potential. In addition to the influence of military flags and military formations, one's cultivation will be faster and they will die faster. That's why you must start a war!"
"… Nonsense!" Leng Zhifei's expression did not change. He shook his head lightly.
However, he felt a chill in his heart. Chu Li really lived up to his reputation of being smart. He could actually see through this.
Chu Li glanced at Leng Shouren, "Your Majesty should understand this, right?"
Leng Shouren nodded slowly.
He knew this, but the world was in such a state. It was better to go with the flow and take the opportunity to let the Ji Dynasty rise. He could also get a higher position in the Leng Family of the Grandmaster's Boundary. That was why he had been hesitant and did not oppose to sending troops.
Chu Li sighed and shook his head, "Greed has blinded me. I have nothing to say! … Since Your Majesty has sworn, I shall take my leave! "
He closed fist saluted and glanced at Leng Zhifei before disappearing.
Leng Zhifei took a deep breath to suppress his anger. His face suddenly turned pale and his body swayed.
Every time he unlocked the seal, he would lose forty years of time in this world. The time left for him was even shorter. This was not a big deal. However, he could not do anything to Chu Li after unlocking the seal.
"Elder Ancestor?" Leng Shouren quickly supported him.
Leng Zhifei pushed his hand away, "I won't die yet!"
Leng Shouren sighed, "Elder Ancestor, do you think that I shouldn't swear?"
"As an Emperor, you're being threatened. This is a disgrace to the Leng Family!" Leng Zhifei sat down heavily in the gazebo and gritted his teeth, "Look at Chu Li. He would rather die than be threatened. Learn from him!"
He originally thought that Chu Li was a sentimental person. Even as an Enlightened Master, he would still be affected by worldly sentiments. When he recruited the three people from the High Duke's Public House, he would obediently agree to it. This was because Chu Li should understand his intentions. If he did not agree, he would recruit Xiao Qi instead.
Due to the influence of righteousness, Chu Li did not want to be cursed. Chu Li would not kill the Ji Dynasty's Emperor.
However, he did not expect Chu Li to be so unyielding. He would rather break than bend. He came straight to his door and almost killed him. If Leng Shouren did not swear, he would really die under his sword. Chu Li's swordsmanship was too evil!
Leng Shouren smiled bitterly, "Elder Ancestor, he can do this because of his cultivation level. I don't have such a deep cultivation level!"
"It's not cultivation level, it's temperament!" Leng Zhifei said impatiently, "If he wants to kill me, let him. I don't believe that he would dare to kill you! … Aren't you afraid of his torture? That's why you gave in? "
"Sigh …" Leng Shouren shook his head. This Elder Ancestor was really unreasonable.
Leng Zhifei glared at him. "I think you shouldn't be the Emperor. Let Fourth Brother be the Emperor!"
"He …?" Leng Shouren frowned and slowly shook his head. "Elder Ancestor, let's not talk about whether I abdicate or not. Even if I abdicate, Feng Er will take over. King Ping's Crown Prince title is just to fool Chu Li!"
"I think Fourth Brother is more suitable to be the Emperor than you. Your son is even more useless!" Leng Zhifei shook his head.
Leng Shouren said in a low voice, "Elder Ancestor, I can listen to you on other matters, but I want to make my own decision about the succession!"
He had always addressed himself as "I" in front of Leng Zhifei and not "I". This time, he addressed himself as "I". It was obvious that he was putting on the airs of an Emperor.
Leng Zhifei narrowed his eyes, his pupils constricted. He smiled faintly and said, "Have you ever thought that once someone like Leng Feng becomes a Heavenly Deity, he will only be ranked at the bottom amongst all the Heavenly Deities?
"I can first empower him, then pass on the throne and become an Enlightened Master," Leng Shouren said in a low voice.
This was how he obtained the position. He had already received the secret skill that could greatly increase Leng Feng's strength. When he became an Enlightened Master, he would be even stronger. Although he could not become the top-notch Enlightened Master, he would not be at the bottom.
"So what?" Leng Zhifei shook his head. "He's not only lacking in martial arts, but also in wisdom. He's much weaker than you. Do you admit this?"
Leng Shouren remained silent.
Leng Zhifei scoffed. "You're just showing off for your own pleasure. You don't care about the Great Ji Dynasty or the Leng Clan. You should know the consequences!"
"… I will never pass on the throne to King Ping!" Leng Shouren said in a low voice. He gave a fist salute. "Elder Ancestor, please recuperate. I'll take my leave first."
