CapĂtulo 1312: Chapter 13: Seizing the Moment, Heavenly Rescue!
But the human heart cannot be guardedâŠ.
Qilian Guanshi could accurately calculate everything on paper, but he couldnât accurately estimate the human heart.
This time, was he forced to exit seclusion early just because of everyoneâs lack of confidence?
Is there really no resentment towards him in their hearts?
Qilian Guanshi smiled wryly at himself.
He grasped power with an absolutely strong grip, claiming to be more authoritative than that young Emperor of the Da Lan Dynasty!
Yet, he still couldnât make everyone follow his will.
âHave you also lost confidence?â
Tuoba Shanhai looked at Qilian Guanshi with a serious expression.
Qilian Guanshi: âNo, I just see the difficulties ahead, but this wonât affect the inevitable victory!â
âYes!â
Tuoba Shanhai bowed to him and then turned to leave.
Watching the departing figure, Qilian Guanshiâs eyes were deep.
Compared to the Central Plains, the Grasslandâs foundation is still too lacking.
Even the Buddhist sect with a thousand years of heritage and the Taoist sect with eight hundred years canât compare to the Da Lan Dynasty.
This time, he deceived the others by saying Tuoba Shanhai would take advantage of Evil Demon Li Mingâs death to achieve a breakthrough.
But actually, if Tuoba Shanhai really aimed for the peak at this time, the chance of a successful breakthrough is less than ten percent.
However, Tuoba Shanhaiâs failure does not mean the same for others.
The death of Li Ming presents an opportunity for all Dao Establishment Grandmasters.
Besides Tuoba Shanhai, the Grassland Royal Court has two other Dao Establishment Grandmasters remaining.
Of these two, oneâs realm has not yet reached perfection, and the other needs to borrow the nationâs strength to break through, also having no opportunity at present.
In contrast, the Da Lan Dynastyâs talent reserve in this area is terrifyingâ
Four governors, the commanders of four Imperial Camp Army units, Zhi Ge Pavilion Master Ni Xuan, Forbidden Army Commander Han Mu, together make ten Dao Establishment Grandmasters!
Out of these ten people, at least half have already perfected their realm in the Establishing Dao stage, reaching the peak, with opportunities to aim for the pinnacle!
So after Li Mingâs death, itâs undoubtedly an occasion for these people.
The Buddhist and Taoist sects also have such Dao Establishment Grandmasters, but their numbers are not as many as the Da Lan Dynasty!
This is the reason why Qilian Guanshi is lamenting the difficult road ahead.
Now the Da Lan Dynasty has already passed through its most difficult times, and even without Li Fei, who knows when it might gain another at the peak?
âBut⊠victory is inevitable!â
A white prayer wheel appeared behind Qilian Guanshi, the Nether River flowing through the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
âŠ
Outside Mingdu City.
Li Fei remained seated cross-legged.
It was already autumn, the wild grass withering yellow.
Autumnâs chill pervaded, as cold wind swept over that shocking depression outside the city.
The marks of past fierce battles were still deeply etched, the grassland spanning hundreds of feet was shaved away by more than a foot, exposing dark brown soil, forming a huge, silent bowl-shaped pit.
Li Fei sat cross-legged at the center of the pit floor, his figure small yet like a rock, immovable. Around the pit walls were neatly sliced surfaces, covered with a layer of withered and decaying wild grass, shivering in the desolate wind.
Suddenly, a deeper, more essential silence began to spread.
It was not the withering brought by the autumn wind, but the horror of life origin being forcibly stripped away, large swathes of withered yellow wild grass withering completely to powder at a visibly fast speed!
As if an invisible giant hand had rudely seized their last breath of life. Death, like a black tide, surged silently from all directions, targeting Li Fei at the bottom of the pit!
The death tide struck the edge of the big pit, as if hitting an invisible barrier, with no earth-shattering boom, just a dull resonance like distant thunder.
The black death aura splashed up violently like waves hitting a reef, shattering, then⊠rolling back.
The receding âtideâ shed its deathly black, radiating a glaring, morbidly vibrant green light. Where this green light passed, the grass roots that had just turned to ash suddenly sprouted new buds and, incredibly fast, broke through the soil, growing fiercely tall and leafy!
In just a few breaths, the pit walls were no longer decaying grass but had formed a lush, towering âwall of grass,â verdant and dripping, exuding a life energy so abundant it was unsettling.
However, this vigorous life force lasted only an instant, as when the energy of the life tide accumulated to its peak, reaching its âendâ of flow, the green instantly faded, supplanted by a denser, more thorough deathly blackâ
The death tide surged back once again!
Like a massive black scythe sweeping across, the once vibrant and abnormally tall wild grass was instantly drained of all water and soul, emitting subtle, clustered cracking sounds, withering, disintegrating, and turning into even thicker black dust with even greater speed!
Life and death were playing out a cruel and efficient cycle on this inch of the pit wall.
Round after round!
Each cycle of life and death made the âgrass wallâ grow taller and denser in the next tide of life, the power of reincarnation within stacking like repeatedly forged steel, heavier, more condensed, and more destructive each time!
âFinally, it has come.â
Li Fei looked calm, slowly rising from the ground, allowing himself to be surrounded by the power of reincarnation and the White Tower Full Wish Treasure Bottle Blessing Array.
He had always remained within the range the array could reach, not out of arrogance.
