Chapter 1260: Receiving the Talisman (Not Finished Yet)
But that person did not continue to speak, and instead asked, "I wonder if the senior understands the Human Dao deities?"
"I only know a little bit."
Li Zhirui wasn't lying; his understanding of the Divine Path was limited, let alone the Human Dao deities that only existed within the Human Dao dynasty.
"The Human Dao deities have a talisman within them, composed of Human Dao Fortune, Human Dao Dragon Energy, and Divine Position. Their advancement not only depends on themselves but also requires the approval of the Human Dao dynasty."
After a pause, the cultivator continued, "We are the same."
"The reason we are not suppressed by the Human Dao Law Net is because there is such a talisman in our Dantian. The power we can exert depends on the grade of the talisman; otherwise, even if you accumulate more mana, as long as it exceeds the talisman's grade, you will be suppressed by the Human Dao Law Net!"
Receiving the Talisman?
Li Zhirui suddenly thought of this term, but it was quite different from his impression. The dynasty's control was extremely powerful!
They might have also left a backup in the talisman, which could control these cultivators at any time.
This way, there is no need to worry about these cultivators rebelling, while also gaining a lot of controllable combat power.
Although Li Zhirui felt that these cultivators were somewhat pitiable, having completely lost their freedom and becoming the trained lackeys of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had no compassion for them.
After all, he himself had no confidence or power to act freely within the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty, let alone save them.
Li Zhirui was not that great, nor that powerful.
Therefore, his expression didn't change as he calmly accepted the news.
"Senior, I have a request!" Seeing that he was about to leave, the cultivator quickly called out.
"Help remove the talisman within you? Or take you away from the Great Zhou Dynasty? But no matter which one, I will not agree." Li Zhirui didn't wait for the other to speak,
"It's not that! Please listen to me, senior."
The cultivator, fearing to anger him, anxiously explained, "You might not know, senior, but among us cultivators, there are quite a few who are unwilling to resign to this fate, so they secretly established an organization, one that plans to overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty! We wish to invite you, senior, to join."
"With your strength, senior, if you are willing to join, it will surely make our organization much stronger!"
After saying this, he looked at Li Zhirui with hopeful eyes.
"I'm just passing through, and won't stay for long." Li Zhirui refused without hesitation, as he had no need to get involved in this mess.
Just by looking at the strength of this group of cultivators, you could tell they wouldn't succeed!
Given that it's a doomed-to-fail endeavor, why should he join? It would just waste time and effort, without any benefits.
Moreover, if they were to overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty, who would then restrain the Cave Abyss Sect? Preventing them from focusing most of their attention on the south and east, sparing no effort for the Li family.
"We will definitely not let you leave empty-handed, senior! The treasure vault of the Great Zhou Mountain has many precious Earth Immortal Level Spiritual Items. As long as you are willing to help, you can choose one first, and later exchange for more high-level spiritual objects based on your contribution."
The cultivator offered a very attractive condition, hoping Li Zhirui would agree.
"I have a question..."
Li Zhirui asked with interest, "Why are you so persistent in inviting me to join your organization? And given your cultivation, you shouldn't have the qualification to offer such generous terms. What assurance do I have that your offer is real and not empty promises?"
He was truly curious why they were fixated on him, as if he would be the key for this group of cultivators to rid themselves of the Great Zhou Dynasty's shackles.
"To be honest, senior, when we left, the old ancestor of our sect suddenly appeared and instructed us that no matter what, we must bring the first outsider we encountered into our organization, no matter the cost."
The cultivator thought about lying but ultimately spoke the truth.
Li Zhirui's expression remained unchanged, but he was quite shocked inside, as he had a spatial ability to conceal his identity, and this was the first time he encountered such a situation.
"Did your old ancestor say anything about me?" This was a question he needed to ask and find an answer to.
"The old ancestor only left that message, and then instructed us to quickly leave the mountain gate and follow the original route, encountering you along the way and inviting you to join." The cultivator said sincerely.
Li Zhirui remained silent, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
The benefit was an immediately available Earth Immortal Level Spiritual Item, with potential for more in the future; the drawback was the high possibility of failure from their ill-suited ambitions to overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Anyway, he didn't have much faith in this overly fictitious and impractical organization.
But in the end, Li Zhirui changed his mind and chose to join the organization!
The reason he changed his mind was partly because he wanted to meet the ancestor who had calculated something about him, to know how he traced his movements.
The other reason was the temptation of the spiritual items; Earth Immortal Level Spiritual Items were not easy to acquire, seldom offered so generously upfront, with opportunities for more later.
However, this also showed that the Great Zhou Dynasty still valued the Great Zhou Mountain Sect, or else they wouldn't offer so many spiritual items.
"Great! With your contribution, senior, we will surely break free from the chains the Great Zhou Dynasty has bound us with and overthrow the dynasty!" The cultivator exclaimed excitedly in a low voice.
