As Li Xingkong got closer and closer to the person, the person's image became more and more concrete.
Li Xingkong confirmed it at first glance upon seeing its form.
This one is also human.
The man was a thin, old man dressed in a completely black Daoist robe, with only a wisp of white light emanating from the back of his head.
Although the black of that robe revealed countless dangers and darkness, the aura emanating from that person remained remarkably stable.
Peaceful, relaxing, like a gentle breeze.
Li Xingkong found it hard to believe that he would encounter such a Daoist priest at this juncture.
Seeing Li Xingkong approach, the Daoist opened his eyes.
A pair of eyes, sharp as lightning and possessing a quality that seemed to pierce through the entire scene, fell upon Li Xingkong, who instantly felt as if he had been seen through.
Li Xingkong tightened. At this juncture, no other concepts should have taken effect, but Li Xingkong did indeed sense something amiss about this person.
"Now that you have arrived, please come forward."
"May I ask..."
Li Xingkong looked at the person from afar; he had indeed never seen him before.
"Fellow Daoist, I've been observing you since you arrived here. You're also a Jade Void Sect, aren't you? Who is your master?"
The old man in black spoke slowly, revealing Li Xingkong's background directly.
Li Xingkong a little surprised. Since arriving at this point, he had never introduced himself, so he didn't know how the old man had figured it out.
"Don't be surprised. Your analytical methods and approaches bear some resemblance to mine. Others might not be able to tell, but how could I not?"
The old man noticed Li Xingkong's doubts and explained the reason in detail.
Upon hearing this, Li Xingkong was truly about to jump up. His method of comprehension had indeed drawn heavily on the methods in the Jade Void Knowledge Base. Even Li Xingkong himself couldn't quite figure out whose style his comprehension resembled, but this old man saw it at a glance.
What else is there to say?
Li Xingkong bowed his head in reverence.
"My name is Li Xingkong, a disciple of the Primordial Lady Seeking the Dao."
Upon hearing Li Xingkong announce his name, the old man's gaze softened considerably.
"So she's her apprentice. There's no need for the old man to ask any more questions. You can take this opportunity."
Seeing that the old man was willing to hand over this key point to someone just because of his master's title, how could Li Xingkong not be surprised?
This is the path of cultivation, how can he be so magnanimous?
"Senior, since you could have taken this opportunity long ago, why did you yield it to me?"
"Hahahaha, now that you know I'm Jade Void Sect, you still didn't recognize me? Very well, this old Suppressor of Evil, barely deserves the title of Emperor."
The old man smiled and gave his name.
Li Xingkong was no ignorant person; having read countless manuscripts and documents, he was naturally very familiar with the title of the Evil-Subduing Great Emperor.
This guy is really ruthless.
He had already attained the position of Daluo at a young age, and his cultivation was comparable to that of Yuanjun. However, his pursuit was somewhat unusual.
Other cultivators who achieve the Daluo seek nothing more than more knowledge and a higher level of cultivation, but this Evil-Subduing Great Emperor seeks only the word "righteousness."
He wanted a world free of evil.
Unlike the Great Emperor Who Sweeps Away Demons who chose to exterminate all villains, this Suppressor of Evil chose to address the root cause.
After advancing to the Daluo, he did not stop studying the nodes. Any node with negative characteristics or tending towards the evil side, as long as it showed any signs of emerging, he would take it down in one fell swoop with a forceful attitude.
Others who control this point will do evil, but he himself certainly won't. So if he wants peace and tranquility in this world, he should gather all the sins of this life into his body.
Li Xingkong recalled the deeds of the Evil-Subduing Great Emperor and then suddenly realized that the black Daoist robe he wore looked extremely strange because it was formed by the convergence of many "evil" nodes. There was probably nothing more demonic in the world than this robe.
"Greetings, Evil-Subduing Great Emperor!"
Li Xingkong could only admire this kind of person.
You have to admit it, the Jade Void has achieved its current atmosphere precisely because there are many more people like this.
"No need for formalities. If it were anyone else, even a disciple of Jade Void, they would still be subjected to some testing. But I trust your lineage. Go."
The Evil-Subduing Great Emperor made room for him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Xingkong couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, and then he passed through the gap that the Evil-Subduing Great Emperor had created.
There are several more layers inside the node, and further comprehension is needed. However, with our own people now within this node, the situation is quite different.
After letting Li Xingkong, the Evil-Subduing Great Emperor stood up.
A black aura suddenly erupted from his body, an aura even more sinister than that of an evil cultivator, shocking the entire scene.
Those Golden Immortal were figures of considerable importance outside, but at this moment, in front of the Evil-Subduing Great Emperor, they remained silent, not daring to utter a single word.
"We seemed to be having a great chat, shall we continue?"
Seeing that Li Xingkong was completely absorbed in his meditation, Suppressor of Evil's previous benevolent demeanor vanished, replaced by a chilling aura that filled the entire node.
This person's reputation is well-deserved.
This was won through sheer hard-fought battles.
No one answered.
Or rather, some astute individuals immediately withdrew from the node the moment the Evil-Subduing Great Emperor revealed his murderous aura.
Especially those old monsters near Jade Void, they had already run away while Li Xingkong and the Evil-Subduing Great Emperor were exchanging pleasantries.
"Don't rush, I'm not a bad person. I'm quite reasonable. Everyone, just show me your memories, that'll be enough."
The Evil-Subduing Great Emperor spoke slowly and deliberately, and no one dared to respond.
"Run!"
Someone shouted, and the crowd of onlookers scattered like birds, disappearing completely.
Seeing these people scatter and flee, the Evil-Subduing Great Emperor had no intention of giving chase. He turned his gaze to Jidu, who was trying to extricate himself from the node, and smiled in a somewhat terrifying way.
"This little monster is quite the talker, why don't you come and tell me about it?"
"Your Majesty... I was blind and ignorant, and offended you. Please forgive me for the sake of the good relations between our two clans."
Although Jidu was pretentious, he was a smart man.
If I weren't smart, I wouldn't have survived to this day.
In front of others, he is the Nine Luminaries, he is Jidu, but in front of this Great Daluo, he is just a little Karami.
"Hmph, you're really good at using someone else's name to make a big deal out of nothing."
The Evil-Subduing Great Emperor merely glanced at him and chuckled softly.
"You may be spared the death penalty, but you can't escape punishment. Keep your Immortal Power as compensation."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life!"
Originally, Jidu was still trying to figure out how to escape unscathed from the node, Jidu at this moment, he couldn't care less about anything else. He directly cut off his tail to save himself, leaving all his remaining Immortal Power in the node, and his lonely soul ran away.
