"The last ti I soaked in this hot spring was a hundred years ago."
The mories of days gone by were vividly clear.
For a cultivator, a hundred years is but a fleeting mont.
"Indeed."
"We even sparred after soaking in this spring."
"How about we spar again later?"
Wei Qingye seed like his blood was still boiling, he ran over with a mischievous grin, nudging Li Ye with his elbow.
"Ha, this ti you can’t beat ."
Li Ye shook his head, "You might stand a chance after you reach the Nascent Soul stage and truly master the Heaven-Inclining Sword of the Celestial Vein Sword Mountain, but for now, you definitely can’t beat ."
Saying this.
He had already taken out a plate of sliced radishes, placing it directly on the water’s surface, and said to Wei Qingye: "Why not give it a try, if you can eat it, I’ll spar with you."
Wei Qingye didn’t rush to make a move.
He stared at that plate of radishes for a long ti—the plate was lustrous, the radish slices distinct and pure like snow, looking very fresh and juicy, must be delicious if one can have a bite.
But.
Slight spatial spiritual power encircled the plate, if one couldn’t penetrate this power, it was like being separated by endless mountains and rivers, impossible to touch the plate at all.
No wonder Li Ye said he couldn’t beat him right now.
How did Li Ye make such leaps in the spatial path in just a few short years, able to perform such spatial divine power?
Thus he decisively leaned against the side of the pool, shaking his head saying:
"No way, I really can’t break it."
Only then Li Ye reached out to take the plate, throwing a piece of radish to him.
Then.
The two of them leisurely gnawed on radishes.
Crunch, crunch.
It was quite comfortable and leisurely.
After a while, Li Ye felt that just lying without talking wouldn’t be good either.
So he used his divine sense to browse through the piled-up matters that needed his attention and unexpectedly found sothing.
It was a jade scroll that had just arrived.
A rather interesting matter.
After carefully reading it, he said: "I have so things I want to chat with you about, didn’t I intervene in a dynasty world before, sothing called... Yunxi Dynasty."
Bringing this up, he felt a bit embarrassed.
Because there were so many affairs that he had no leisure to set up arrangents there, yet surprisingly brought him many surprises.
"And then?" Wei Qingye grabbed another piece of radish, asking quizzically: "Why ask ? I don’t know how to govern a country, wouldn’t it be much better to ask your senior brothers and sisters casually."
"Just chatting." Li Ye said nonchalantly: "In that dynasty, the Ministry of Agriculture cultivator called He An, whom I helped, discovered the emperor’s secret.
That emperor, turned out to be a human clone created through so thod."
Hmm?
Wait, what’s he talking about?
Wei Qingye was montarily confused.
"A cloned human?"
He asked again, his expression turning sowhat serious: "What thod was used to clone a human, isn’t this considered banned, did none of your Four Seasons Sect disciples discover it, or have they connived?"
"Haha." Li Ye said with a bit of laughter: "He was controlled by the emperor—no, more accurately by the people behind the emperor.
The Gnostic School people."
At the ntion of the Gnostic School, even Wei Qingye had heard of them.
He frowned and said: "They are no pushovers, their specialty lies in altering perception, creating sothing out of nothing, essentially parasitic worms of the world, one side seeking the world’s origin while gnawing at it."
"But usually they do it very covertly, not openly provoking us, how did you discover it?"
——No matter how powerful the Gnostic School is, they wouldn’t openly provoke, otherwise reason would be discussed by various sects’ Divinity Transformation Taoists.
The last ti they provoked like this was with the Bitter Journey Academy, exploiting a fabricated myth dharma thod which turned one of the Academy’s saints into... sothing extrely exaggerated.
The Academy was truly outraged as a result.
Knowing that the saint’s legacy was still within the Academy, who could tolerate such sar against their ancestor, imdiately three Divinity Transformations went to demand an explanation.
They literally sliced off half of the world where the Gnostic School resided.
Since then, the Gnostic School, even if wishing to disgust, doesn’t usually act openly or get caught.
Of course, they’re also involved in Hell Path matters this ti; I reckon when a few Four Seasons Sect Divinity Transformations touring Star Sky Outer Domain find out, they will definitely demand accountability.
Overall, though, they still act in secret.
Even if caught, it’s always by a great power, has Li Ye made such deep arrangents in that world?
Li Ye didn’t know what he was thinking, but could guess.
He explained:
"It was that Ministry of Agriculture cultivator He An I ntioned—he discovered it."
"When he t the emperor, the Compassion Wheat I gave him mutated, using so thod he confird back then that the emperor... had a brotherly relation with the wheat."
Even speaking of this, Li Ye almost couldn’t hold it in.
But this was indeed fact.
Yunxi Dynasty had brave fervor in its populace, and so unrest frequently occurs, so today this one marries that one, tomorrow that one marries this one was quite common; life and circumstances didn’t allow them to care much about chastity.
Yet precisely due to such environnt, several "kinship validation thods" erged, with the most famous and simplest being "blood test validation."
Swear to the Celestial Dao, then drip blood into it, it can validate blood relations between parties, even accurately display whether it’s father-son, mother-daughter, sister-brother, or grandparent-grandchild...
He An thought he was being over-imaginative, decided to try it, and unexpectedly it validated.
After Li Ye explained the whole matter, Wei Qingye was so shocked he dropped his radish: "Wait, then how did he obtain the emperor’s blood? The emperor you ntioned was at least Nascent Soul, how..."
ntioning this, Li Ye couldn’t hold it any longer.
Covering his face, looking at the rising steam and the do of exquisite jade, his tone was quite calm: "The emperor had a skin disease; palace eunuchs called it dragon bottom blood, secretly selling it outside.
To purchase this, He An spent quite a lot of Spirit Stones, ensuring he didn’t buy counterfeit emperor... authentic blood."
At this, both Li Ye and Wei Qingye couldn’t hold back.
Especially Wei Qingye, taking a glance at the gem-like red radish he had just obtained, he rather arduously placed it back on the plate.
"Haha."
But it wasn’t over yet.
Li Ye continued: "After realizing this, He An reported it to the sixth prince he served, who during the ancestral rites retrieved the remains of several past emperors.
Only to astonishingly find that wheat spikes had grown upon the remains, and after validation by dharma thod, all were brothers!
This discovery left them greatly shocked, thus the sixth prince himself suggested trying it, and predictably—he too was related to the wheat as brothers."
"..."
Wei Qingye was already numb.
Frankly speaking, this incident in itself wasn’t sothing particularly strange; after all, he’d heard of situations where the throne was passed down to siblings after filicide.
Just why would they be related to wheat as brothers...
All being related as brothers.
"What do you plan to do?" Wei Qingye closed his eyes for a mont, then reopened them, a streak of Sword Qi flowing from his eyes: "Kill so, kill many, or kill them all?"
So Li Ye smiled.
It appears their brotherly bond allowed them to understand each other quite well.
Sure enough.
Before he even spoke, Wei Qingye knew he was looking for a hitman.
To avoid further disgust on his side, he must hit hard, let the Gnostic School taste bitterness, at least stop provoking him.
Random stray dogs barking chaotically along the roadside, indeed.
