“Even though I exerted all my strength to open a sliver of this scroll, Its coverage only extends to 500 kilometers…”
In the Li clan’s restricted area, Li Mengtu narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. Immediately, the scroll in his hand flew out and floated above his head.
It didn’t spread out but emitted a gentle light that scattered on Li Mengtu’s body, augmenting him.
This scroll painting, even when not fully unfurled, had a remarkable effect-it could clear the mind of the holder, significantly aiding in comprehension. That’s why he always carried it with him.
At the same time, it was also the trump card he had prepared for such crucial moments.
Coupled with the Li Clan’s 9,000 towers, his comprehension ability instantly increased.
”1 originally planned to use it at later stages, but now… I can only use it ahead of schedule!”
Li Mengtu took a deep breath. He was well aware that the inheritance his master had specifically tailored for him was somewhat different from those in the other three starfields.
This inheritance was special and unique. Only one person could obtain it!
If the comprehension was divided, neither would fully grasp it.
“No matter who this person is, such an action is already a fight for the Dao.”
“Even if there was no prior enmity, from this moment on… it is an irreconcilable conflict!”
At the thought of this, Li Mengtu’s eyes flickered with a resplendent light, as though ancient runes were flickering within. When he looked at the inheritance flower in the sky, insights surged in his mind.
The fourth petal was instantly formed. The fifth petal also rapidly gathered.
He needed to strive for more and obtain an advantage. After that, he would leave this place and find the person who fought with him for the Dao.
He wanted to take back his inheritance!
There was only one way to take it back.
Kill!
Li Mengtu then put this thought in the back of his mind, and completely immersed himself in his comprehension. With the help of the 9,000 tall towers and the mysterious painting scroll that was passed down in his family, his comprehension speed improved by leaps and bounds.
Very soon, the fifth petal formed on his forehead!
However, there were only four petals left in the flower in the sky.
At the next instant… one petal disappeared. There were only three petals left.
The missing piece appeared on Xu Qing’s forehead.
Four petals spun on his forehead as the Dao of plants and vegetation flowed in Xu Qing’s mind. His understanding of the poison in this inheritance flower also continued to rise as he verified them one by one.
He instinctively raised his hands and performed a series of hand seals in front of him. Illusory medicinal herbs were weaved by him and surrounded each other, sometimes fusing and sometimes separating.
Just like that, time passed again.
After fifteen minutes.
The fifth petal appeared on Xu Qing’s forehead.
However, at the same time, far in the east, the sixth petal formed on Li Mengtu’s forehead.
At that moment, the Inheritance flower in the sky was completely blurry, and the last petal could only be vaguely seen.
In an instant, two red threads spread out from the remaining petal. One landed on the Main Dao Cliff and the other landed in the Li clan’s restricted area.
Xu Qing and Li Mengtu were competing across an endless range.
Both sides relied on their respective methods to comprehend and absorb. The remaining petal rapidly dissipated.
After about eight minutes, a thunderous sound echoed throughout the entire Western Starfield.
The flower of inheritance in the sky completely disappeared.
As it disappeared, the darkness in the sky gradually dissipated and the hidden red aurora emerged again.
This scene fell into the eyes of the other token holders in the Western Starfield. They understood that the inheritance segment… was over.
“This inheritance segment doesn’t give others a chance to comprehend at all. 1 think only Li Mengtu has the qualifications.”
This matter is understood by all; there’s no need for further discussion. This inheritance was prepared specifically for him. The other three sides are the same—just with an extra layer of pretense.”
This is the hierarchy; there’s nothing we can do about it.”
Heh, best not to speak of it, best not to speak of it.”
As the murmurs filled with complex emotions echoed throughout the Western Starfield, the light emanating from the 9,000 towers in the Li clan’s restricted area gradually dimmed. When all the light had finally vanished and the scroll descended, Li Mengtu abruptly stood up.
There were six and a half petals on his forehead!
The six petals were complete. As for the additional half, it was the seventh petal that hadn’t been formed.
At that moment, it was blurry and seemed to have only reached 50%.
He raised his hand and touched his forehead.
A murderous intent erupted from his body and enveloped the surroundings, causing the space to be frozen.
Black snowflakes appeared out of thin air and scattered in the surroundings.
“I want to see… who exactly you are!”
The killing intent in Li Mengtu’s eyes was intense. As the only star of the entire Western Starfield, he was confident that no one in his generation was his match.
Even If he encountered a late-stage Ruler, he had the ability to seal and kill them by using his family’s inheritance treasure.
At the thought of this, Li Mengtu’s body swayed and the sky exploded, as though it was about to collapse. He displayed terrifying might and swept up a vast aura, stirring up a cold wind as he headed in the direction of the Main Dao Cliff.
There was no need to go through a teleportation array.
Although the distance from here to the Main Dao Cliff was extremely far, as a star and a Lower Immortal’s disciple, he had too many treasures on him.’
Among them, there was one that could allow him to borrow the power of the ancient teleportation array to carry out a greater teleportation without touching the array.
While he was rushing toward the Main Dao Cliff, Xu Qing opened his eyes.
There were five and a half petals spinning on his forehead.
A feeling of comprehension surfaced in his heart, and what followed was an intense life-and-death crisis.
This sense of danger caused Xu Qing to sigh inwardly.
He had seen threads of the inheritance flower spreading to the east. At that moment, he had understood that there was a high chance that there would be a fight after the comprehension ended.
He could guess the other party’s identity.
“In the entire Western Starfield, there are only two threads. This means that there are only two people who comprehended it.”
“The others can’t see the flower and can’t comprehend it. This means that…
there are certain conditions to comprehend it.”
“Others don’t fulfill this condition. Although I don’t know why I meet the requirements, my existence must be an accident to that person.”
“Based on these, this person’s identity… is already very obvious. He is…”
“Among the eight stars of this generation in the Fifth Star Ring, the only star in the Western Starfield, Li Mengtu!”
Xu Qing stood up and the information of Li Mengtu that he had read in the map appeared in his mind.
‘Li Mengtu came from the Li Clan and later entered the Dao Immortal Sect. His master is the Dao Immortal Sect’s Sky Patroller.”
“Because of his rise, his clan grew stronger from its original decline. This clan has a characteristic. All direct descendants have the word ‘tu’ in their names.”
“As for his cultivation, although he’s only at the early-stage Ruler realm, he has four authorities. His combat strength, together with a set of bizarre spells inherited from his clan and his master, allowed him to have the battle record of killing a mid-stage Ruler.”
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. This information wasn’t new, so it could only be used as a reference. He couldn’t completely believe it.
The real situation would definitely be more serious than the information records.
Xu Qing fell silent. After he looked into the distance, determination appeared in his eyes.
Since he had obtained this inheritance, he naturally couldn’t give up because of danger.
Once one gave up on the battle for the Great Dao, it was equivalent to falling behind.
One step behind would cause one to fall behind repeatedly.
Xu Qing took a deep breath and instantly left.
He didn’t choose to stay here.
As a star, the other party definitely had many trump cards and his combat strength must be outstanding.
Facing such an opponent, even if he set up a trap here, it still wouldn’t be of much effect.
“If I can form my own eighth extremity…”
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and sped through the sky at full speed, heading for the nearest ancient teleportation array.
The place he wanted to go to was the God Blood River.
“That place is the best battlefield!”
“If I win, it will be ideal. But if I lose, I still have a way to avoid the worst case scenario.”
Xu Qing sped up, creating vast ripples in the sky.
Several days later.
On the Main Dao Cliff, the sky suddenly rumbled and a large black hand appeared. Even the aurora was covered, causing the surroundings to be pitch-black.
While the few cultivators on the cliff were horrified, a figure walked out of the black hand.
He wore a black robe, had long black hair, a cold expression, and there were six and a half petals on his forehead. He was none other than Li Mengtu.
His gaze swept over and landed on the place where Xu Qing had been meditating earlier. He then calmly spoke.
“Decree, ask the wind!”
“What cultivation level has the cultivator here reached?”
With that, he raised his hand and grabbed. Immediately, the wind in the surroundings stirred and gathered into an illusory body.
“Decree, ask the sky!”
“What kind of authorities does the cultivator here have?”
His words echoed and the ripples in the sky gathered into spirits.
“Decree, ask the laws!”
“Where is the cultivator here heading?!”
The laws descended and gathered into an eye.
It formed a mysterious existence that stared at Li Mengtu.
The Dao sound rang out.
“Cultivation base is Soul Accumulation, nine authorities. The foundation is the five elements, time and space surround it, and contains erase and bizarre.
Battle power is a mid-stage Ruler. He is heading south!”
As soon as this sound rang out, Li Mengtu’s eyes glowed.
“Such an existence…”
He fell silent for a while. When he looked into the distance again, his killing intent became even more intense.
With a sway, he sped toward the south. At the same time, his Immortal Capital token’s perception range erupted with all its might.
Wherever he passed, as long as he sensed any light spots, he would instantly approach and investigate.
If someone could look upon the entire Western Starfield from high above, they would see that the distance between Li Mengtu and Xu Qing was rapidly ‘ shortening.
Closer and closer!
At the same time, in the Dao Immortal Sect in the Western Starfield, the Poison Lord, who was like an old farmer, was still watering the two poisonous plants in front of him with the Nine Heavens Immortal Elixir.
At this moment, the spirituality of these two poisonous plants was even denser than before. In order to obtain more nutrients, they were interweaving.
They each spread out their poison spikes and pierced into the other party’s body.
As they intersected, they devoured each other.
A smile appeared on the Poison Lord’s face.
“It doesn’t matter which one of them dies. The one who ultimately receives my inheritance is my karma..”
