Chapter 1252: Chapter 1095: Slaying

It was quite apparent that Li Zhixuan also sensed something was amiss, and she immediately began to share her insights on the Laws.

However, it wasn’t about the comprehension of the Life-slaying Laws, but rather how to better understand the Laws, along with some useful little tricks.

And this, for Da Qing, Xiaoqing, and others, was the most important thing!

After all, Li Zhixuan’s Life-slaying Laws were too extreme, and the gap between the two sides was too great, which could very well lead to her contamination—causing trouble in the future.

The same situation occurred earlier during Li Chengshuo’s lecture.

As the waning moon sank westward, Li Chengshuo ended his lecture for the night.

“Lady Xuan, if you’re free, why not accompany me to the Taiyin Star for a look? Meeting you would surely make my brother very happy.”

Li Zhixuan was indeed a bit tempted, as she yearned to witness the vast starry sky of the Primal Spirit Realm, and to reunite with her nephew after so many years.

“Let’s discuss this matter later.”

However, after some contemplation, she still refused, saying, “I need to properly organize my understanding of the Life-slaying Laws.”

“Alright then, let’s go when you have time.”

Li Chengshuo nodded and, after bidding farewell to Da Qing and the others, transformed into moonlight and disappeared.

“The era of great contention should be nearing its arrival. You should hurry to enhance your abilities; you may very well seize an opportunity and ascend beyond the heavens.”

Li Zhixuan spoke somewhat cryptically before turning to leave.

The reason she said this was because Li Zhixuan was exceedingly sensitive to Evil Qi, and ever since she ascended to the Primal Spirit Realm, she noticed an overly rich abundance of Evil Qi in the heavens and earth!

Yet, at the time, her lack of understanding of the Primal Spirit Realm had led her to believe the spot she landed had recently undergone a fierce battle.

But as Li Zhixuan journeyed eastward, she realized that the Evil Qi was rising throughout the entire world!

She had encountered a similar situation once before in the Middle Thousand Worlds, and it was due to this great catastrophe that Li Zhixuan was able to ascend from a Loose Cultivator to an Individual Immortal!

However, through her recent conversation with Li Chengshuo, Li Zhixuan discovered that the era of great contention differed somewhat from the catastrophic events she’d experienced before.

To be precise, this era of great contention possesses some peculiarities!

Previously, the catastrophe in the Middle Thousand Worlds purely resulted from the world being unable to bear the accumulated residues and impurities over countless years. To avoid descending into the Ruinous Void, it transformed and dispersed them as Evil Qi and Catastrophic Qi through the slaughter among living beings.

Yet, the era of great contention in the Primal Spirit Realm is not just for cleansing impurities, but also for preparing the world for ascension!

If not for this, the Heavenly Dao would never have evolved the Divine Path.

It’s important to understand that the cultivation paths like Immortal Tao and Demonic Tao, which consume Spiritual Energy, are actually burdens to the world, as they absorb vast amounts of Spiritual Energy throughout their lives. Even after returning to heaven and earth upon death, the Spiritual Energy they repay cannot match what they absorbed.

Therefore, every time Cultivators, Demon Cultivators, etc., breakthrough, Thunder Tribulations descend upon them as a test and a means to control their numbers.

But the Divine Path differs; Divines operate the Laws to maintain heaven and earth, which benefits the world. Especially for a world seeking to ascend, Divines become even more critical.

Li Zhixuan recalled the great catastrophe she experienced previously, where blood-covered the sky and earth beneath was littered with severed limbs and wreckage; post-investigation revealed a terrifying reduction of living beings by half throughout the entire world!

“I wonder how severe this catastrophe will be this time—whether it will be more intense or somewhat reduced?”

Li Zhixuan shook her head, choosing not to dwell on these matters, steadying her mind, focusing her Divine Sense entirely on comprehending the Life-slaying Laws.

“Alas, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, who could have imagined that the Laws arduously comprehended over many years were still incomplete?”

The words gradually faded away as tranquility returned to the silent chamber.

…

Taiyin Star.

“Shuo, why did you return so late today?” Li Chengsheng, who had waited a long while, quickly asked upon seeing him.

“On my return this time, I was extremely fortunate to encounter a great joy!”

“Oh? What is it? Could it be that father has already been amassing power, preparing to breakthrough to Individual Immortal?” Besides this, Li Chengsheng could think of nothing else that could bring such joy to Li Chengshuo.

“It’s not that! Lady Xuan has returned!”

“Lady Xuan?” Li Chengsheng’s face was full of shock. If not for Li Chengshuo’s reminder, it would have been impossible for him to figure this out, no matter how hard he thought.

“Has Lady Xuan broken through to the Individual Immortal Realm?”

Li Chengshuo nodded, saying, “I’m not entirely sure of the details, but she is indeed an Individual Immortal. Furthermore, due to cultivating the Sword Tao of Slaughter, Lady Xuan’s combat abilities are likely even more formidable than theirs.”

“That’s to be expected; Lady Xuan’s cultivation methods excel in combat. Besides, her cultivation has been honed through numerous life-and-death battles, so naturally, her combat power would be superior to ours.” Li Chengsheng did not refute but rather seriously acknowledged those words.

“I don’t know when we’ll openly return to Mount Wanxian. Especially brother, you might test merging into the sunlight to cloak your form—see if it can deceive those Divines.” Li Chengshuo directly shifted to another topic, his tone tinged with a bit of unease.

Li Chengsheng had a home he couldn’t return to; truly a frustrating situation for the Sun Star God.

“Why don’t we just return openly? With Lady Xuan now presiding, weaker Star Gods are simply no match.”

Upon hearing this, Li Chengsheng couldn’t help but shake his head, saying, “No rush, let’s discuss it after some time.”

He very much wanted to return to Mount Wanxian but couldn’t act rashly, as the family’s current strength was insufficient, and such hasty action might bring disaster to the family.
