Yi Tian would never have dreamed that his identity would be exposed by himself. However, now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet. Looking at Gu Hui in the distant sky, he smiled for no reason and said, "Fellow Daoist Gu, are you trying to trick me with your words? You keep saying that I'm a successor of the Li Fire Sect because of the Stellar Crystal Essence. If you think about it carefully, there are countless bizarre and absurd things that have happened in the Tian Lan continent. Could it be that only the Li Fire Sect has the ability to fuse with the Stellar Crystal Essence?"
Gu Hui did not think much of it. He showed the Yin Yang sword in his hand and said, "You ignorant kid, you're still twisting words and forcing logic. Fine, I'll convince you. Why don't you take a closer look at the similarities between my spiritual sword and yours? "
Following that, he scanned Gu Hui's Yin Yang sword with his spiritual sense and realized that there were traces of starlight sparkling on it. It was probably the result of the Stellar Crystal Essence fusing with the spiritual weapon after being melted. However, there was a trace of True Fire remaining around the starlight. Just based on this, Gu Hui's Spiraling Fire Shield could raise the power of his spells by one level.
It was no wonder that the thin thread formed by his spiritual sword was directly stuck on the fire shield. In fact, in terms of strength, he did not have the slightest intention of going easy on the fire shield. He did not expect that it would be so easily blocked. Although he had the upper hand in terms of cultivation, Gu Hui was still better in terms of using spiritual energy. He knew how to maximize the power of the spiritual weapon in his hand.
Even so, Yi Tian was unwilling to admit defeat. He only curled his lips and said, "That's all. You're lucky today. I still have things to do, so I don't want to waste my breath on you. The successor of the Zhong state's Li Fire Sect, Lu Jinyuan, should be arriving in Zhong Tian City soon. If Fellow Daoist Gu is interested, you can talk to him. I believe Lu Jinyuan will be more interested in your identity. "
Gu Hui gave a noncommittal smile and replied, "People from the mountains have no roots and have drifted to this day. I think Fellow Daoist Xiao's itinerant cultivator faction is more suitable for me."
"If that's the case, then I won't disturb you any further. Goodbye." After saying that, Yi Tian turned around and directly flew in the direction he had agreed on with He Weiming, leaving Gu Hui there alone.
To be honest, he was more wary than close to this Patriarch. There were three reasons for this. A thousand years ago, he had sent someone to Dong Ao to ask for the Patriarch's token from his own Patriarch, Yun Zhongzheng. It could be seen that he had not given up on the idea of becoming the Patriarch.
The illusion of the ancestral land clearly showed the scene of him becoming a demon back then. Although it could not be seen now, he was quite afraid of it, afraid that it would affect his Dao Heart.
Furthermore, he was the Sect Master of the Middle State's Li Fire Sect. Logically speaking, he should have some ties with Lu Jinyuan, or it could be said that he knew Lu Jinyuan's father, Lu Canglong. It was just that he had never approved of these two people, so he didn't want to waste his breath on them.
He thought that with Gu Hui's participation, the auction in Zhongtian City would be particularly exciting. It was a pity that he had no time to attend. Otherwise, he would have liked to see the Li Fire Sect's descendants bid against the Middle State's three major sects. It would definitely be lively.
It was a pity that among the Li Fire Sect's four disciples, only Gu Hui, whom he disliked the most, had survived to this day through possession. If only one of the other three was still alive, it might be of considerable help to him.
After flying for more than five days, Yi Tian arrived at the meeting point. With his Divine Sense, he found a weak spiritual energy fluctuation in the air. He immediately opened his mouth and shouted, "Since Daoist He has arrived so early, why don't you come out for a chat?"
After saying that, a figure vaguely appeared on the hillside below. Yi Tian scanned it with his Divine Sense and found that it was He Weiming's real body.
At this moment, there was no joy or anger on his face. When he saw Yi Tian arrive, he just said, "Come down and talk."
Yi Tian slowly descended and stopped on the cliff. He carefully looked at He Weiming. He hadn't seen him for a few decades, but his cultivation hadn't changed. The frequency of his spiritual energy fluctuations was still the same as during the war against the Great Demon. This meant that he hadn't made any progress after so many years.
However, during this period of time, his own cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds. He was almost catching up to He Weiming's cultivation. He was happy. It seemed that Gu Hui's words about his cultivation being restricted by the seal's power were true.
Yi Tian slowly walked forward and bowed to He Weiming. "I've made Daoist He wait for a long time. I encountered a small matter when I came down, so I was delayed."
"It's okay. Since Brother Yi wants to see my real body this time, it means that you must have important news to tell me. It's worth waiting here for a few more days," He Weiming replied politely.
Yi Tian smiled and nodded in agreement. Then, he raised two fingers and said, "I brought two news, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Is it good?" He Weiming said directly.
"I've found a way to deal with the Thousand Spirit Abyss. As long as this matter is done, I can get rid of it once and for all," Yi Tian said lightly.
He Weiming raised his eyebrows and asked, "I think the price for this matter is definitely not cheap. Do you need me to secretly help?"
"It's not too late to make a decision after you hear the other news." Yi Tian saw that He Weiming was tempted and didn't directly refuse. He just wanted to see He Weiming's reaction after he finished speaking. He believed that when He Weiming knew the truth, he wouldn't be as calm as he was now. He had to be able to control himself if he wanted to be buried with Qian Lingzi in the upper realm.
"I'm all ears." He Weiming's face showed unprecedented seriousness.
"The Thousand Spirit Abyss is just a clone of Qian Lingzi. What you said before about the spirit force being thin and wanting to extract spirit force should just be an excuse. Their real purpose is to sacrifice your spirit force to Ancestor Qian Lingzi's real body through the clone of the Thousand Spirit Abyss." Yi Tian turned his head and looked at He Weiming.
Even a shrewd person like him trembled after hearing this. His face revealed a look of disbelief as he asked, "Fellow Daoist Yi, this matter can be serious or not. Do you have any evidence?"
"I just speculated from the clues I found." Yi Tian shook his head and said, "It's up to you to believe it or not."
"Since you speculated it, you should have some strong evidence, right?" He Weiming asked.
As such, Yi Tian told He Weiming in detail about the situation in the phantom image he saw in the Li Fire Sect's ancestral ground, Purple Firmament Hall, including the main parts about Qian Lingzi.
The latter first revealed a look of suspicion, but gradually, as the mystery slowly surfaced, he couldn't smile anymore. Instead, his face was filled with anger and a sense of powerlessness.
