Ji Li's True Identity
"Tap tap~"
Soon, Xiao Lin and Ji Li walked together to the top of the tallest building in the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.
From here, the two of them can take in the entire Myriad Formation Spirit Palace!
After admiring the scenery of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace while, Xiao Lin slowly asked, "Old Ji, you're not a descendant of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint, are you?"
Xiao Lin's tone was very confident.
As Xiao Lin finished speaking, Ji Li was taken aback at first, then smiled.
"Ah, did I say I'm a descendant of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint?"
Ji Li suddenly grinned and asked in a cheeky tone.
"Hmm~, didn't you say that?"
Did I say that?
At this moment, Xiao Lin felt that the conversation between himself and Ji Li was somewhat familiar.
Isn't this just a repeat of his earlier discussion with Zi Yan about Xiao Yan being his grandson?
However, now that this applies to him and Ji Li, their roles are reversed.
However, Xiao Lin had completely forgotten whether Ji Li had ever admitted to this.
After all, when Ji Li took out the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Seed Flame and used the Nightmare Sky Mist Dou Technique, Xiao Lin and the Eight Elders had already subconsciously regarded him as a descendant of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint.
Tell me, in the face of such irrefutable evidence, does it even matter whether Ji Li admits it or not?
Or rather, even if Ji Li denies it, they will probably take it as the other party making excuses, right?
This is almost an unquestionable result.
But it wasn't until the Demonic Flame Space was about to open that Xiao Lin remembered something.
He remembered that in the Original Work, before the Remnant Soul of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint completely dissipated, it uttered a sentence.
That statement is: He had no disciples or children in his entire life!
What others say may not be very credible.
But this is something the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint herself admitted!
Xiao Lin didn't believe that someone at the level of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint would need to lie about such a matter, or that the other party would be completely unaware of whether he had any children.
Obviously, this is unrealistic!
So, if what the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint said is true, then no matter how many things Ji Li has that resemble the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint's descendants, then the other party cannot be her!
In other words, Xiao Lin and the Eight Elders were wrong about Ji Li's identity!
It was precisely because of this thought that Xiao Lin suddenly returned to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace to find Ji Li and ask him for clarification.
Ji Li's cheeky question just now, the other party is indeed not a descendant of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint.
This made Xiao Lin even more curious!
If he is not a descendant of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint, why does Ji Li possess the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Seed Flame and the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint's signature Dou Technique, Nightmare Sky Mist?
At the same time, Xiao Lin naturally didn't hide his doubts and asked them.
"Just as you said, Old Xiao, I am indeed not a descendant of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint. However, it is an indisputable fact that the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint is related to my ancestor."
As for your questions about why I possess the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Seed Flame and the Nightmare Sky Mist Dou Technique, Old Xiao, these two things are essentially a reward from the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint to my ancestor.
And now, these two rewards have come into my hands.
That's how it is.
Ji Li shrugged and explained.
His expression remained calm and composed throughout.
He owed the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint nothing, and the other party owed him nothing either.
It can be said that Ji Li only felt respect for the powerful Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint.
"The reward? That's reasonable. However, I'm really curious, what exactly did your Old Ji do for the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint that made him give your ancestor a Child Flame of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and pass down the Nightmare Sky Mist Dou Technique?"
After listening to Ji Li's explanation, Xiao Lin pondered for a moment before asking again.
These two types of compensation alone are far more than what you could earn from Ordinary favor.
"You're asking about this? Old Xiao, have you forgotten what happened when we first met?"
Ji Li smiled again and asked in return.
What happened when we first met...
At this moment, Xiao Lin was also lost in memories.
His first encounter with Ji Li was at the Space Trading Assembly.
Did anything unusual happen at that time?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Xiao Lin's mind!
"By the way, that fragment of the Demonic Flame Remnant Map!"
Xiao Lin blurted out.
At this moment, a flash of understanding also appeared in Xiao Lin's eyes.
He seemed to have guessed something.
"That's right, it's related to the Demonic Flame Remnant Map! Actually, my ancestor was a close friend of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint! On one occasion, he gave my ancestor a complete Purifying Lotus Demon Flame Map and entrusted him with a matter..."
Immediately afterward, Ji Li told Xiao Lin everything he knew.
It turns out that the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint may have had a premonition of something.
He told Ji Li's ancestors that if anything happened to him one day, he should pass on the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame Map and find a destined person to subdue the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
He left a backup plan in that Purifying Lotus Demon Flame Map!
As for the so-called destined person, it is the Ji Li family, who, every once in a while, distribute a fragment of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map.
In this situation, anyone who can still collect all the Fragment Map is considered a person destined to find it.
In return, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint left Ji Li's ancestor a Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Seed Flame, his signature Dou Technique Nightmare Sky Mist, and many of his collections from over the years.
Since the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint had no disciples or children in her life, it was understandable that she would leave some of her collections to her close friends.
Come to think of it, who else besides the Pure Lotus Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint Purifying Lotus Demon Flame Map?
After all, a wisp of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint's Remnant Soul remains within it!
So, here's the question.
Why did the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint leave behind such a Purifying Lotus Demon Flame Map?
Clearly, he himself may have had a premonition of something.
With Ji Li's explanation, everything finally made sense.
"So that's how it happened? The Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint was ultimately too soft-hearted. If he had foreseen that the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame might turn against him, he would have simply erased the other party's consciousness, and none of this would have happened..."
After listening to Ji Li's story, Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh.
It can only be said that the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint truly raised the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame as his own son!
However, he raised his son badly, and his personality became excessively violent.
Because he had invested so much emotion, even after the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint realized that the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was turning against him, he still couldn't bring himself to kill it.
Ultimately, by the time he finally made up his mind in his later years, it was too late.
However, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint truly deserves to be one of the most powerful beings below the Dou Emperor throughout the history of the Dou Qi Continent!
Even though it was devoured by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, it still managed to create a Demonic Flame Space before its death, trapping the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame to this day!
