"Ti."
In this mont, Li Wei achieved enlightennt.
He glanced at the Yin-Yang Fish Diagram, then at the "Power of Laws" obtained from the "Yin Water Star," and finally at the "Myriad Dao Divine Bell Pagoda."
The Myriad Dao Divine Bell Pagoda was a Supre-grade Dharma Treasure, representing the foundational heritage of the forr Myriad Dao Immortal Palace.
It possessed Ti Laws that allowed cultivators to cultivate at speeds many tis faster than normal.
Then there was the power of Laws from the Yin Water Star, which contained a vast amount of "Glacial Laws" and a trace amount of "Ti Laws."
The Yin-Yang Fish Diagram possessed both Yin and Yang sides; it seed he had never truly developed the Diagram's true power.
His Void Refining Space was slightly different from Li Yaozu's.
Within the extrely cold space, beneath the solid ice, there was a flowing white light, almost imperceptible!
With these three elents converging, it seed that when he utilized his spiritual power to activate the Yin-Yang Fish Diagram, he was also activating that faint "Ti" within his Void Refining Space.
"What is ti?" Li Wei stood dazed for a mont.
In this instant, everything within the entire space seed to have fallen still, leaving only him murmuring to himself.
"Ti does not exist; it is a blank sheet of paper. If there is nothing on the white paper, then for the person looking at it, nothing has happened.
If I hold a pen and draw a horizontal line, the length of the mark left by that pen... that is ti."
No one can fully explain what ti is, or perhaps everyone simply has a different definition.
But at this mont, in Li Wei's heart—which laid no claim to great scholarship—a definition ford.
Or perhaps, it was that trace amount of "Ti Law" that gave him the definition!
In a flash, Li Wei opened his eyes again. Zhao Tingyu was still fleeing!
"Heaven, Earth, and the Mortal Realm!"
"Pagoda, Suppress!"
A white light flashed in Li Wei's eyes.
He was finally no longer using that trace amount of "Ti Law" unconsciously.
He could clearly see that the reserve of the Ti Law had diminished slightly.
Including the previous two tis, he estimated that he could use it approximately eight tis in total before the Ti Law within the Void Refining Space needed to recover.
In that incredibly brief mont, Li Wei confird that everything within the entire Void Refining Space suffered a montary stagnation.
One snap of the fingers is 7.2 seconds.
Twenty instants make one snap.
Twenty thoughts make one instant!
The cold glint of the spear tip flashed, and Li Wei was already behind Zhao Tingyu.
"One Thought!"
[Congratulations. Through the trace "Ti Laws" within the Void Refining Space, you have comprehended a new technique: One Thought!]
[You can stop ti for the duration of "One Thought."]
...
Inside the Immortal Domain.
The Immortal Zhao Clan had no choice.
The final option Li Chang'an had presented to them was, in fact, the best one.
Li Chang'an had already retreated into the distance with the two Void Refining experts.
Yet, Li Chang'an could not suppress the grim look on his face.
He saw it.
Ding Yuanxiao—who had been averting his gaze just monts ago due to Li Chang'an's words—and the heads of the various families of the Duravia Trade Prefecture were all frozen in terror.
So had even collapsed to the ground.
Throughout the entire Immortal Domain, streaks of radiance—so faint, so intensely colorful—drifted up into the air like smoke, only to plumt back toward the earth.
"What is this... what's happening... what in the world is going on?!!"
"The light on my body! My light!"
"I haven't lost any spiritual power, and my body is fine... so what is this? What exactly is this?!!"
Ding Yuanxiao spread his hands in bewildernt, gazing at the golden radiance rising from his body.
He recalled a ti thousands of years ago, when his family elders had taken him to the Imperial Capital, begging the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets to help examine his aptitude.
The Elder of the Pavilion had said:
"Qi Yun appears as gold. This Qilin, son of your family, possesses abundant destiny; he will suffer few illnesses and disasters.
Even with his fiery and confident temperant, he will walk the path of Immortal Cultivation smoothly.
But rember this: listen more to the words of good friends."
"Gold... Destiny... My Destiny!"
Ding Yuanxiao looked with disbelief at those towering pagodas absorbing the radiance, then turned his gaze to the three Zhao Clan Elders.
"You... you are stealing my Destiny!!!"
In this mont, he seed to see the look of pity in Li Chang'an's eyes from afar.
The Li family... seed to have known all along!
Within the range of this Immortal Domain, everyone's Destiny was being stripped away!
No wonder.
No wonder that when these Immortal Clans were ambushed by the Li Clan, the Immortal Zhao Clan had no intention of sending support.
Instead, they had told them to abandon their clansn and flee into the Immortal Domain.
"Why?!! Why are you stealing my Destiny?!!"
Ding Yuanxiao stared venomously at Zhao Jingmiao, screaming himself hoarse.
"My Ding family has been loyal to your Zhao Clan from start to finish! Even in this great war, I brought my clansn to aid you! Give back my Destiny!!!"
Yet, the Destiny clinging to Ding Yuanxiao continued to be relentlessly siphoned into the towering pagoda.
The Zhao Clan mbers did not imdiately charge out to battle; instead, they trapped the elders of the various Immortal Clans from the Duravia Trade Prefecture.
Fairy Bai remained expressionless, her eyes devoid of even a shred of pity.
These defeated commanders had already been shaken by Li Chang'an's words.
Even if they returned to the battlefield, they would offer no combat value; they might even turn on her own clansn just to secure their own survival.
"You are a dying man; what use have you for this Destiny? Rest assured—using Destiny such as yours to strengthen my Zhao Clan is the true Righteous Dao! Hahaha!"
Zhao Buqun's laughter echoed through the skies above the Duravia Trade Prefecture.
He understood. He understood everything now!
Ding Yuanxiao trembled uncontrollably.
In this mont, he finally realized that the Zhao Clan had never once placed any value on their lives.
Perhaps from the very beginning, the Zhao Clan's true objective in coming to the Duravia Trade Prefecture was to absorb everyone's Destiny amidst the chaos of these tis.
That was the Zhao Clan's true purpose!
This formation of the Zhao Clan, which altered the atmospheric phenona of heaven and earth, was never ant to shelter the people.
It was... a trap!
They were rely a herd of livestock, raised to be slaughtered.
"Save !"
In the starry night, Ding Yuanxiao roared ferociously toward the outside of the Immortal Domain, "Brother Sun, save ! mbers of the Li family, the Grand Formation is open! Fight your way in! Save us!!!"
Outside the Immortal Domain.
Li Chang'an had already retreated into the distance with the two seniors, standing alongside his clansn.
Together, they gazed at everything unfolding within the Immortal Domain.
Following Ding Yuanxiao's roar, everyone—from the experts of the various Immortal Clans in the Duravia Trade Prefecture to the commoners—began to shout and wail.
Many of them did not understand what the lights on their bodies represented, but they knew sothing terrible was happening.
Those lights were being relentlessly harvested by the Zhao Clan!
"Elders..."
Li Chang'an turned around, looking at the many elders of his family.
Yet, everyone in the clan looked upon the scene before them with indifference.
Li Yaowen's voice sounded faint and distant.
"Over a hundred years have passed.
They chose the Immortal Zhao Clan themselves.
We must respect the choices of others."
