The "Desolate Heaven Emperor's" Promise
Myriad Worlds Chat Group, chat interface:
Desolate Heaven Emperor: "Thank you!"
[Group notification: Group member Desolate Heaven Emperor has claimed the file "One Sword Opens Heaven's Gate" sent by group member Li Chungang.]
Li Chungang: "Hahaha! The future Heaven Emperor has learned this sword technique of mine after all."
Li Chungang: "Now, even if I die, I'll take some comfort in knowing that my sword Dao has found an impressive inheritor."
Desolate Heaven Emperor: "Can't you stay alive?"
Shi Hao put on an act in the group.
Li Chungang: "My heart died long ago. How can I keep living? Before I die, I'll do two more meaningful things, and then I can face death without a ripple in my heart."
Group Leader Great Immortal Li: "Li Chungang, let me tell you something. For the future Desolate Heaven Emperor, bringing the dead back to life will be no more than a snap of his fingers."
Li Chungang: "Hmm? The future Desolate Heaven Emperor can bring back the dead? Can he... bring back someone who's been dead for decades?"
Hope rose in Li Chungang's heart!
Why had his heart died?
Because he had killed his beloved with his own hands!
Group Leader Great Immortal Li: "The future Desolate Heaven Emperor will reign supreme through the ages. A single drop of his blood can contaminate the heavens and myriad worlds. Never mind someone who's been dead for decades-even someone who's been dead for billions of years, he can bring back with a snap of his fingers."
Desolate Heaven Emperor: "Will I really be that powerful someday?"
Li Chungang: "Will the Desolate Heaven Emperor really be that powerful someday? Then I suddenly don't want to die."
Li Chungang: "I wonder how long it will take before the Desolate Heaven Emperor can bring the dead back to life?"
Group Leader Great Immortal Li: "Just wait a few million years."
Li Chungang: "A few million years? Great Immortal Group Leader, are you making a fool of me?"
His hope was dashed in an instant.
Even Li Chungang was furious.
Group Leader Great Immortal Li: "Is a few million years a long time? It's no more than the snap of a finger. Li Chungang, go to your death in peace. If the future Desolate Heaven Emperor remembers you, then given his character, he'll surely bring you back."
Group Leader Great Immortal Li: "Not just you. Gu Jianfei and Song Que, who passed their martial arts on to the Desolate Heaven Emperor, should also be brought back by him."
Li Chungang: "...Who can say what will happen millions of years from now?"
Desolate Heaven Emperor: "If I have the ability in the future, I'll bring you all back!"
Shi Hao sent that message in the group, and he meant it.
If he could one day easily bring back the people who had helped him, Shi Hao,
Then.
Shi Hao would surely do it.
Though Shi Hao didn't think he could ever be as noble as that "Desolate Heaven Emperor," he had principles of his own!
Li Chungang @ Group Leader Great Immortal Li: "This... right! The future Desolate Heaven Emperor can easily bring the dead back to life! I wonder, Great Immortal Group Leader, can you do it?"
Li Chungang: "Help me bring... one person back. Great Immortal Group Leader, I'll do anything you ask!"
Li Chungang had placed his hopes in Group Leader Great Immortal Li again!
After all, Group Leader Great Immortal Li had said in the group that even the future Desolate Heaven Emperor was only a little stronger than him.
However.
Group Leader Great Immortal Li was nothing but a great immortal divine charlatan, fooling people with spoilers and slick talk. He himself was just an ordinary person.
Group Leader Great Immortal Li @ Li Chungang: "Life and death are ordained by fate. I cultivate in accordance with the Heavenly Dao. I will not do something like bringing the dead back to life."
Great Immortal Li was talking nonsense.
He simply couldn't do it at all. He was making excuses in the group.
After that.
Li Chungang pleaded desperately with Great Immortal Li in the group.
But the group leader, Great Immortal Divine Charlatan, simply couldn't bring anyone back. Annoyed by Li Chungang's pleading, he muted him for three days.
"This 'One Sword Opens Heaven's Gate' is no use to me, even if I have it!"
Shi Hao had obtained "One Sword Opens Heaven's Gate" for free this time. Once again, an "old grandpa" had passed a technique on to him, the future Heaven Emperor.
But Shi Hao hadn't even spent points to raise "Buddha's Palm" to the realm of great perfection. Why would he spend points on "One Sword Opens Heaven's Gate," which was inferior to "Buddha's Palm"?
"I'll leave it there for now. If it's useful someday, I'll deal with it then."
"If it's no use, then forget it."
Shi Hao browsed through "One Sword Opens Heaven's Gate," which Li Chungang had sent him, using his consciousness.
Files sent in the Myriad Worlds Chat Group could all be browsed with one's consciousness.
Seeing that "One Sword Opens Heaven's Gate" had appeared on his [Beast Milk System] panel,
Shi Hao went back to drinking beast milk!
Central Shu, the Emei Sect.
Mu Feibai, the third personal disciple of Li Yingqiong, the current head of the Emei Sect, was cultivating in the sect when he suddenly had a bad feeling!
"Crack."
Mu Feibai looked at the prayer beads he wore on his wrist. One had shattered, and his expression changed.
"Oh no! Is the fox spirit Great Fairy Yun dead?"
Mu Feibai could hardly hide the grief in his heart.
Great Fairy Yun had several daughters, and naturally, those daughters hadn't appeared out of thin air!
They were all born to the fox spirit Great Fairy Yun and Mu Feibai, a personal disciple of the Emei Sect!
The fox spirit Great Fairy Yun was exceedingly beautiful, and she had none of a demon's habits. She often did good deeds and accumulated virtue.
Mu Feibai was very fond of Great Fairy Yun, but unfortunately, she was a fox spirit in the end, so he could only be with her in secret.
Mu Feibai didn't even dare visit the daughters he had fathered with Great Fairy Yun.
Mu Feibai had kept only a prayer bead bearing a trace of Great Fairy Yun's primordial spirit. If she died, the bead would shatter.
Now the bead had shattered.
"Who killed her? Great Fairy Yun always accumulated virtue and did good deeds... who could be so cruel?"
"What happened to my daughters?"
Mu Feibai was heartbroken. With these questions on his mind, he couldn't settle down to cultivate.
Mu Feibai went to find Li Yingqiong, the current head of the Emei Sect...
Mu Feibai wanted to leave the mountain. At the very least, he had to avenge Great Fairy Yun, didn't he?
A single day as husband and wife creates a hundred days of affection.
And he had to make arrangements for his daughters, too!
