The Unruly Immortals

"Connections?" Li Huowang looked at the dice in front of him, feeling extremely annoyed by its constant half-hidden, half-spoken speech. "At a time like this, how long do you plan to keep things hidden? What on earth is this disaster about? What else do you know!"

The dice chuckled, "Hong Zhong, even if I tell you, what difference does it make? Do you have the time to care about anything else right now? Aren't you trying to figure out how to deal with that Yin-Yang person?"

"You've seen how strong he is, and you said yourself that it was just a temporary trick. When he sees through the deception, it won't be that easy to fool him next time."

Thinking of Zuo Qiuyong's unshakable strength just moments ago, Li Huowang's face became increasingly grim. The opponent was a Fate Commander in the flesh, and if he wanted to deal with him, the only choice he could think of was to borrow Ji Zai's ability.

"Don't count on Ji Zai; he's very busy lately." Hearing this suddenly from the dice, Li Huowang's head snapped up, "So you got this information from Ji Zai?"

"Wow, quick reaction this time, huh? See, I told you even if I didn't keep it back, it wouldn't help." The points on the dice's head turned to one.

"What else have I said in the past? What's the key to killing Zuo Qiuyong? Spit it out!" Li Huowang took two steps forward, grabbing the collar of the dice.

"I never said that, honestly, he might not even know any Zuo Qiuyong." The dice spread its hands, shrugging.

"Don't try to fool me! He's my future self; how could he not know Zuo Qiuyong!" Upon saying this, a hint of joy appeared on Li Huowang's face. "He's still here, so that means my future self is still alive, and I will surely get through this for sure!"

Upon hearing this, the dice immediately threw cold water on Li Huowang, "Not necessarily, the Historical Records change all the time, and if you die now, Ji Zai is also finished."

Li Huowang angrily shoved the dice, causing it to stagger. "Besides running your mouth, what are you good for! Did you come here just to watch the show?"

"Of course I'm useful; if it weren't for me just now, you would've been as good as dead. That dead eunuch really wanted to deal with you, and your Xinsu skin wouldn't have been of much use. Remember, Li Huowang, you owe me a favor this time."

Just as Li Huowang was about to say something, footsteps came from the left. He thought it was Gao Zhijian, but when he turned his head to look, he saw Li Sui walking toward him.

Seeing the eunuch clothes on Li Huowang, Li Sui took off her red Taoist Robe and put it on Li Huowang. "Dad, what's wrong? What exactly happened after you went to the Tianchen Country?"

It seems with Zuo Qiuyong scared off, Da Qi's offensive has also ceased, otherwise, she wouldn't be chatting leisurely here.

Looking somewhat exhausted, Li Huowang tugged at the collar with his right hand and inserted his left hand into the red robe's sleeve, "Ah, it's a long story..."

Li Huowang then briefly explained the cause and effect to Suisui. "Huh, who would have thought, there's actually another Fate Commander within Tianchen, a Flesh Fate Commander, truly unexpected our enemy would be this."

"Later, tell Gao Zhijian and the others not to prepare for war. Against a Fate Commander, mere mortals won't help. If we want to handle him, we'll need another Fate Commander."

At this moment, the dice chimed in, "Don't look for Ji Zai, I said he's really busy and has no time to care about this side, think of another way."

A blaze of anger surged in Li Huowang's heart, "You've said it twice! No need to repeat! My ears aren't that bad! Instead of wasting time blathering, why not think about how to handle this!"

Although the dice did help just once, his nonchalant attitude didn't seem like he was here to help at all, more like to watch a show.

Hearing this, the dice chuckled again, then shrank and vanished from the spot, his voice gradually fading in the air.

"Hong Zhong, you can't be like this, our Oblivion Path mindset is to be open-minded, unhappy is also a day, happy is also a day, why live so wearily, even if you're going to die in the next moment, the previous moment should still be cheerful."

"See, just look at his attitude!" Suppressing the anger in his heart, Li Huowang pointed up towards the sky.

Li Sui didn't respond for a while as if digesting what Li Huowang just said, then after a moment, she spoke to the pacing Li Huowang, "Dad, I have a method here to deal with Zuo Qiuyong, maybe we can try it."

"What?" Li Huowang stopped, about to inquire, then immediately realized what Li Sui meant. "You mean that previous method? Pouring the Innate Qi and Divine Light from other Xinsu corpuscles into my body? Letting me achieve Great Accomplishment in Cultivation of Truth?"

Li Sui nodded, "Yes, before it wasn't possible because we didn't have someone like those from Tianchen Country who could touch the sky, but now we do."

As she spoke, several people walked in from the doorway, say-not army members with their heads linked by tentacles like skewered candied hawthorn, wavering as they shuffled toward Li Huowang.

Li Huowang looked at the say-not army in front of him with a complex expression, it seemed Li Sui had captured many during his absence from Da Qi.

He said with a complex expression, "But we still don't know what it will be like achieving the Seven Wheels of Cultivation; whether we can catch up with Zuo Qiuyong's strength."

Also, there was a hidden worry Li Huowang didn't voice out; although the path to growing stronger was right in front of him, he was somewhat uneasy.

He hadn't forgotten his previous confusion between reality and illusion, and that was merely at the second wheel. If the seven wheels of Cultivation were fully achieved, it might indeed be like Li Sui said, all thoughts and imaginations would become real.

The greater this power, the greater the side effects on oneself.

Originally, it was borrowed from the Hong Zhong below Qingqiu, barely balancing Cultivation with illusion. If the real part was enhanced, breaking this equilibrium, who knows what could happen.

But if he didn't use it and Zuo Qiuyong actually came to Da Liang, based on their last encounter, it would probably be a completely one-sided massacre!

"How do we know without trying, right now there are no other options anyway? Dad, there's no need to underestimate yourself, he's a Fate Commander, but aren't you also a Fate Commander?"

"Moreover, Dad, I know what you're worried about. Cultivation without illusion easily leads to Possession by Deviant Forces. By then, we'll kill the dice and fix that fake part in you, and that will naturally solve the issue."

Li Huowang looked at Li Sui with a somewhat complex expression, contemplating the changes in her compared to before. The former Suisui in his belly would never have spoken such words.

"Suisui, are you hiding something from me? If there's anything, remember to always discuss with me."

Li Sui gently nodded, her voice still soft, "Okay, Dad, are you going to try this method?"

Li Huowang thought for a moment, then firmly nodded his head. "Yes! Pushed to such an extent already, we have no choice but to make it work!"

In his mind, Li Huowang recalled Zuo Qiuyong's expression like a cat toying with a mouse, a strong killing intent surfaced on his face.

"Come on! Let's see who between us has the tougher fate!"
