CHAPTER 525: CHAPTER 520: DIVINE CONCEALMENT

At this moment, in the Ancestor Space.

The clan members were taking action, and only Li Wei and Li Yaowen, their divine souls resting in the Ancestor Space, remained.

They, too, were looking at the Tian Xing Fate Plate!

Now, all the Tian Xing avatars outside of Eternal Sun Prefecture were fleeing under the pursuit of those geniuses, and some had even escaped the Azure Dynasty entirely, like dogs who have lost their homes.

But even more of the avatars were fleeing towards the territory of the Eternal Sun Prefecture.

And this was Tian Xing’s true sanctuary.

"Eternal Sun Prefecture is Tian Xing’s Eternal Sun Prefecture. For ten thousand years, although he has scattered his avatars across the lands of the Azure Dynasty, it is the avatars in Eternal Sun Prefecture that he truly focuses on."

The divine soul form of Li Yaowen still had the appearance of her youth.

Dressed in a white robe, like a tragic beauty, she was currently speaking to Li Wei about the matter of Tian Xing.

Over these years, although Li Yaowen had been in a soul body state, her divine soul had not only been contending with Tian Xing’s fate arts, but she had also been continuously trying to spy on everything about him.

The appearance of the Tian Xing Fate Plate, moreover, had allowed Li Yaowen to lock onto the locations of all of Tian Xing’s avatars.

[Your descendant, Li Yaowen, having become a soul body, has for many years contended with the fate techniques of the Tian Xing avatars.

Her divine soul, carrying the life tablets of the clan members, has traveled to many places. Gradually, as more and more cultivators attempted to pry into the auras of the Li family members, it became increasingly difficult for Li Yaowen to shield the heavenly secrets, but at the same time, this allowed her ’Scripture of All Under Heaven’ to progress once more.]

[As a soul body, she has created a Profound grade peak technique: Conceal Heaven]

[Cultivate this art with the divine soul, and by borrowing the mechanisms of Heaven and Earth, cause the body’s aura to merge with Heaven and Earth. This conceals one’s own cultivation base; for those at the Nascent Soul realm and below, it can shield them from the prying senses of cultivators within one major realm higher.]

[Due to being a soul body for many years, and in this form resisting the prying gazes of all factions and engaging in a battle of wits in the domain of fate arts, she has obtained the Trait: Divine Concealment]

[Fate art cultivation speed is increased by 10%, and it is easier to shield the heavenly secrets.]

Over these years, all the members of the family had faced their own predicaments, but they had all grown amidst adversity.

The Wu Clan had attempted to convert Li Dalong, but he had instead silently mastered the power that the Heaven-Piercing Coffin had bestowed upon him.

Li Yaoqing, in the unfamiliar Auric Empire, had nevertheless carved out a legend of her own.

Li Yaozu, in the snowy region, had been quietly healing himself, and his sword arts had become even more exquisite...

Li Yaowen was the same. She had become a soul body, seemingly because the sins of killing she had committed in the past were too heavy, making it difficult for her to ever again possess a human form. Yet, for the sake of opening up a new path for the family, she, too, had found her own way.

No one knew what kind of heaven-shaking contests Li Yaowen had been waging as a soul body against the Tian Xing avatars and the numerous others who were prying into the Li family.

As he was lost in thought.

Li Yaowen’s divine soul, which was roaming outside, seemed to have perceived something.

She said with a smile, "Old Ancestor, the Tian Xing avatars across the various lands of the Azure Dynasty are being hunted down, but Lin Wudao, within Eternal Sun Prefecture, has not had a very big reaction. By this design, his avatars in Eternal Sun Prefecture will become even stronger.

This is also the greatest reason for his indifference; Eternal Sun Prefecture is also the place where his power is most concentrated."

"A hundred years have passed, and he still doesn’t take us seriously. He thinks that Eternal Sun Prefecture is his safest sanctuary, because within Eternal Sun Prefecture, he controls everything!"

Yaowen seemed to be able to perceive Tian Xing’s every word and action!

Li Wei did not know how Yaowen had managed to do it, but she had clearly not been idle these past hundred-plus years.

Her techniques and martial skills were something that Li Wei could not comprehend.

She had been clever since she was little, quiet and unassuming, always able to silently provide support from behind the scenes when the family needed it most.

"Tian Xing thinks himself to be perfectly safe within Eternal Sun Prefecture."

Li Wei did not dwell any longer on the hardships Li Yaowen had experienced over the years.

Thinking of Tian Xing, who was still resting easily on Qilin Mountain, he sneered, "In that case, we’ll just have to see if that bastard, who has been scheming for ten thousand years, can truly remain as calm as he always has been!"

Hearing this, Li Yaowen nodded slightly.

A cold glint flashed in her eyes; she had waited for this day for a very, very long time.

In those years, she rarely had time to return home, but every single day, she was stealing the destiny of the Wu Clan.

She had originally thought that with the family’s destiny being so abundant, they could rest easy without a care in the world, but Tian Xing’s sudden appearance had shattered all her illusions.

She had seized the destiny of the Wu Clan for several decades, but Tian Xing had been seizing the destiny of Eternal Sun Prefecture for ten thousand years.

Everything had happened so suddenly.

And now.

She was prepared, and the family was also prepared!

....

At the end of the bustling market street in Solaria City, there was a government office.

Upon it were written the two words: ’Shun’an’.

For the Azure Dynasty, the existence of government offices was especially important.

After all, with the Human Emperor’s existence, it was Heaven that had bestowed this method.

It was said that this was because the Human Race was born weak and had thus received Heaven’s pity, and so, official posts came into being, and it was also a special kind of profession in this world.

To become a Town Head was to instantly possess the strength of the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Similarly, there were City Heads, Region Heads... and besides these, there were the five grades of officials.

This was all a method bestowed by Heaven. After receiving an infusion of cultivation base from Heaven, they could also continue to cultivate on their own, similar to a sudden empowerment.

They guarded the Human Emperor from all four corners of the dynasty, or expanded the territory for the Human Emperor, protecting the lands of the Human Race from falling into great chaos.

But nothing in this world is ever perfect.

As the people of the world cultivated and gradually grew stronger, they also slowly began to no longer hold the officials of the Azure Dynasty in high regard.

Adding to this, the slaughter that occurred in the struggle for resources, which ran contrary to the aims of the government, deepened the conflict between the two sides.

The duty of the Prefect of Eternal Sun Prefecture was precisely to supervise the Princes of the various Regions, as well as the numerous sects, families, and rogue cultivators of Eternal Sun Prefecture.

The Prefect, Shang Mi, came from an ordinary family background.

Ever since he became a fourth-grade official and took over the supervision of an entire prefecture, he was often the subject of envy from his colleagues.

They would say that for him to be the Prefect in a rich and prosperous land like Eternal Sun Prefecture, a place blessed by heaven and favored by the dragon, was truly the good fortune accumulated over eight lifetimes.

With his position bestowed by Heaven, he had already become a Divinity Transformation expert; if he were to then obtain sufficient Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, even reaching the Void Refining realm would not be a problem.

However, at this moment.

This refined middle-aged man whom everyone envied was, on the contrary, incomparably troubled, feeling deeply that his good days were truly coming to an end.

Before him sat an untidy woman, accompanied by a lively ’child’ who seemed like a simpleton.

Upon meeting, she had a dazed appearance, and when she opened her mouth, she said:

"Greetings, Lord Shang Mi. I want to kill Tian Xing. I’d like to ask for your assistance. Otherwise, I’ll kill you."

No sooner had her voice fallen.

That ’child’ leaped down from the ceiling timbers, his expression instantly turning cold, and he had already taken out a bright silver long spear.

The madness of these two was on full display!
