Chapter 96: The Heavenly Fate Emperor’s Shut-In

Atlas Studios Atlas Studios

The undying body was really destroyed!

Ji Qinglan looked at the collapsed space that slowly returned to normal with his mouth agape. Suddenly, he felt light-headed.

Li Yu must be invincible in the world!

A single sword strike from him could shatter the heavens and the earth and overwhelm all techniques. Li Yu is definitely a sword god.

Elder Nie was so excited that his remnant soul was trembling, causing his Reverse Scale Immortal Sword to emit sword hums.

This was the strongest Sword Dao he pursued. This was the true might of the Sword God.

I want him to be my master!

“Junior Brother, are you alright?” After killing Mo Wuhui, Li Yu asked Gu Yugi.

The force of the meteorite earlier was not small. Gu Yugi would probably be bedridden for a long while again if Mo Wuhui hadn’t taken most of the damage.

This fellow’s luck was indescribably wonderful!

After Gu Yuqi was struck by lightning, the natural oddity True Essence Divine Thunder appeared. After he was struck by a meteorite, the natural oddity Sun Immortal Gold appeared.

Hmm, this guy should be the legendary benefit-from-a-disaster type!

Gu Yuqi only returned to his senses after hearing Li Yu’s concern.

He did not expect Li Yu to be so ridiculously powerful that he could shatter the void with a single strike. It was no wonder that he was not afraid of the Heavenly Fate Emperor.

With such strength, even if the Heavenly Fate Emperor came, he would probably get beheaded.

This way, Gu Yuqi felt more at ease. The Qingyun Sect was safer than those Holy Lands.

But.

“Senior Brother, I’m not the jinx, am I? I got hit by lightning previously, and this time, I got smashed by a meteorite. Fortunately, I was abducted by that old man. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would have implicated the sect!” Gu Yuqi suddenly felt a little down.

If the first lightning strike was a coincidence, there had to be a reason why he was hit by a meteorite this time.

‘There was probably no other person in the world as unlucky as him.

“Junior brother, don’t be so pessimistic. You are destined to be an extraordinary person. These setbacks are only a test from the heavens.

“There is a saying. When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on man, it will first fill his heart with suffering, toil his sinews and bones, expose his body to hunger, subject him to extreme poverty, and confound his journey with setbacks and troubles. So as to stimulate his alertness, toughen

his nature, eventually bridging his incompetence gap, and prepare him for the duty”.”

Boom!

As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, the heavens and the earth shook.

‘The Heavenly Dao Rankings flourished with golden light again. Countless light rays shone down as dense Dao fate gathered from all directions. Auspicious clouds condensed in the sky.

The familiar scene made Ji Qinglan, Gu Yugi, and Su Mu widen their eyes.

A true mantra of the Great Dao! Senior brother has actually said another mantra of the Great Dao!

Indeed, Li Yu’s words appeared on the Heavenly Dao Rankings, and Li Yu’s voice reverberated through the world again.

“When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on man…”

Li Yu looked at the Heavenly Dao Rankings and nodded to himself.

I knew it. Those wise words from those sages in my previous life can really become the Great Dao mantras in this world.

Actually, Li Yu did not want to pretend to be a saint in front of his junior brothers. He did not like to be a copier who used poems from his previous life to pretend to be a scholar and a big shot in this world.

He heard from Gu Yuqi that Mo Wuhui had been struck by lightning and that Mo Wuhui had been brought into the sect. Yet, he did not harm anyone and only carried Gu Yuqi away.

Judging from that, he guessed it was probably the effect of his Limitless Merit Golden Body. He was immune to all evil.

If he had not obtained this Limitless Merit Golden Body and benefited everyone in the sect, his sect would probably be in danger.

Therefore, Li Yu felt that he needed to farm more merit points for the sect’s safety.

In the future, if anyone schemed against his sect, he would directly subdue them to death with mere merit.

‘The Heavenly Fate Dynasty’s coronation ceremony was forced to halt because of the strange dark clouds and lightning persisting above Emperor Tianyun.

Out of consideration for the country’s future fortunes, Emperor Tianyun decided to postpone the coronation.

However, just as the Heavenly Fate Emperor was about to leave the scene of the grand ceremony.

The Heavenly Dao Rankings suddenly flourished with dazzling golden glows as a voice reverberated through the heavens and earth.

“When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on man…”

“This is… the mantra of the Great Dao!”

“Another Great Dao mantra!”

Everyone looked at the golden words condensed on the Heavenly Dao Rankings in midair in surprise while a voice reverberated through the world.

The voice was the same as the last time.

However, almost as soon as this voice sounded, the dark clouds above Emperor Tianyun’s head more than doubled in size. The lightning bolts got even more ferocious as they bombarded his head.

Even though he used his magic power to protect his body, he found it difficult to withstand it.

Emperor Tianyun was depressed. Looking at the strange gazes of the surrounding people, he wanted nothing more than to find a hole in the ground to crawl into, so he immediately flew off.

After returning to the manor, he entered seclusion and shut himself inside.

At this point, the highly anticipated Heavenly Fate Celebration and coronation ceremony officially fell apart.

Qingyun Sect.

“Be my disciple? No, no, no, please stop joking. I don’t accept disciples!” When he heard that Elder Nie wanted to become his disciple, Li Yu was surprised and hurriedly waved his hand to refuse.

Take in a disciple? Are you serious!

An old antique from tens of thousands of years ago becoming my disciple? I don’t like archaeology.

I’m not gonna become his master.

More importantly, he had nothing to teach Elder Nie.

“Cultivator Li, it’s fine even if you don’t accept me. In that case, can you give me some guidance on my Sword Dao? I will definitely be grateful and do anything to repay your kindness!” Elder Nie pleaded earnestly.

The remnant soul phantom had already knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Ji Qinglan was surprised by this scene.

He did not expect that the mighty Elder Nie, a former sword immortal, would actually bow to Li Yu.

It was apparent that Li Yu had blown Elder Nie’s mind.

Well. For the sake of seeking the Great Dao, Elder Nie is humble enough to put down all his past glories to seek knowledge from Li Yu. He’s really worth learning from.

Ji Qinglan thought to himself.

Li Yu felt his head aching. Elder Nie was clearly serious.

If he could not make Elder Nie give up on the idea today, he would probably keep pestering him in the future.

How about… I help this remnant soul find peace and leave… with one slash?

Li Yu pondered for a moment and thought of an excuse.

Finally, he sighed and responded, “Elder Nie, it’s not that I don’t wish to teach you, nor do I want to discourage you. But to be honest, my Sword Dao is innately formed. I don’t need to cultivate it as the power of my sword is already very powerful.

“I don’t know why too. Perhaps it’s talent. Talent can’t be taught after all!”

Elder Nie was stunned by Li Yu’s words and looked at him in surprise.

Li Yu seemed sincere and seemed to be telling the truth.

Since he was born that way, he did not need to cultivate. He was born with such power.

Is this really talent?

He’s born a Sword God, born extraordinary!

Elder Nie remained kneeling on the ground, unable to calm down for a long time.

“Elder Nie. You may return.” Li Yu waved his hand.

Elder Nie was dazed as he nodded in disappointment. He did not say anything else and transformed into a wisp of light that flew back into the Reverse Scale Sword.

“Senior Brother, sorry for disturbing you!” Ji Qinglan cupped his hands and left.
