Mutated Tao

After explaining everything to Li Huowang, Xuan Pin felt a wave of relief wash over him. He had been preparing for this moment for a very long time.

Turning around, he saw that the White Lotus Sect members had surrounded them, forming a barrier to prevent anyone from overhearing their conversation.

Bai Lingmiao had given these instructions, but she herself wasn't too far away. She had clearly heard their conversation. She was sobbing, but at least she knew everything now. Xuan Pin wouldn’t need to repeat himself.

“That’s all. Now, let’s talk about how to assign the Dragon Veins.”

Once their private matters had been sorted out, Xuan Pin started to talk business.

“The Dharma Sect destroyed a lot of Dragon Veins, so the Liang Kingdom must take some to replenish them. Still, we will naturally consider the other places in need of them. The Liang Kingdom will only take two since Shai Zi already claimed one. Now, the Qi Kingdom and the Tianchen Kingdom can take the remaining twelve.

“We can split them evenly and keep six Dragon Veins for each timeline. Although having only six daily divisions is very little, it’s alright. At most, they will have to live their days a little faster.

“Fu Shengtian is closely watching us, so getting more people on our side is critical now.”

Xuan Pin’s words fell on deaf ears. Li Huowang was still lost in despair over losing his daughter. He didn’t hear what Xuan Pin had told him at all.

Li Huowang clutched his chest, overwhelmed with intense pain. Xuan Pin quickly reached behind him to take the spine sword. He didn’t want to waste any time.

However, Li Huowang tightly held onto the sword. He looked at Xuan Pin with reddened eyes. “No! There’s still a chance. Li Sui isn’t dead yet! She just became a part of you! She’s still inside your body!”

Li Huowang repeatedly said that Li Sui was still alive, trying to convince himself.

“Since possessing other people is what made her become what you are today, all I need to do is find a way to make her regurgitate the people she possessed over the years! That way, she can revive!

“I know I can do it! I am Ji Zai, the Siming in control of the Heavenly Dao of Bewilderment!”

Xuan Pin sighed. “Li Huowang, stop lying to yourself. Li Sui would remain dead, and you would even harm me. How can you find the first drop of water in a water-filled basin?”

Despite cutting Li Huowang's palm, Xuan Pin unhesitatingly took the sword from his grip. Xuan Pin swung it, revealing the rift that connected the Liang Kingdom with the Qi Kingdom.

However, a strange pulsation came from the other side of the rift.

“Wait—something’s wrong!”

Xuan Pin pulled Li Huowang into the rift and arrived at the Qi Kingdom.

Xuan Pin realized that the Heavenly Daos within the Qi Kingdom were completely irregular.

The Qi Kingdom, which was supposed to be stuck in eternal daylight, was currently enveloped in a lush forest. Even the You Capital, which the Mo family had restored, was covered by it.

“Li Huowang, you need to get a hold of yourself. This is not the time to think about familial matters. Something is very wrong.”

Li Huowang took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

“Zuoqiu Yong is dead, and he was the Siming that controlled the Heavenly Dao of Growth. It’s only natural that there’s a Natural Disaster right now.”

He didn’t want to give up so easily. He had to rescue Li Sui once more, no matter what. The problem was that he didn't have a plan at the moment.

“No… This is not a Natural Disaster…” Xuan Pin muttered, leading Li Huowang to inspect their surroundings.

At a clearing, they encountered a monstrous sight—a colossal flesh Buddha towering as high as the Righteous Monastery and sitting just outside of it.

Li Huowang suppressed his emotions when he saw the massive flesh Buddha. It’s not over yet!

The hair of the flesh Buddha was made up of multiple monks. Chan Du was embedded at its forehead, like a jewel.

The monks who formed the Buddha changed in unison. As they did, a blood-red light ring shimmered behind the Buddha’s head.

There was a rift just in front of the flesh Buddha. Various beings poured out from the rift, spreading outwards.

Li Huowang noticed that the thing coming out from the rift resembled a massive centipede wriggling in the air.

Li Huowang could sense that the sudden appearance of a forest was a result of the Heavenly Dao of Growth emanated by the rift.

As the chanting continued, the verses of the chant became actual flesh. The fleshy words wrapped around the rift like a chain in an attempt to seal it shut.

The Righteous Monastery was trying to seal the rift shut, but the being behind it clearly didn’t want them to do so.

Suddenly, a single large eye appeared behind the rift and glared at Li Huowang.

Its appearance affected the entire Qi Kingdom. Everything, both living and dead, started to grow uncontrollably.

The fleshy mantra burst open, and the rift expanded. It quickly grew, tearing the world in half as it did.

A massive foot the size of a mountain stepped out from the rift. A few more seconds passed before another foot passed through.

Finally, the entire giant figure stepped into the Qi Kingdom. It was none other than Zuoqiu Yong! Li Huowang thought they had killed her just now!

Li Huowang now understood the Siming of Growth's true nature. He also understood why Zuoqiu Yonghad quickly retreated when Li Huowang deceived them with a made-up Natural Disaster.

The Zuoqiu Yong he fought against was just a small fraction of his true body! His true body had always been lying in the Tianchen Kingdom!

He was able to control the Heavenly Dao of Growth because he could grow his body to that size.

Zuoqiu Yong stood still, and the entire Qi Kingdom began gravitating towards her. It was as if he was pulling everything towards him.

“Li Huowang!” Zuoqiu Yong shouted, causing strong wind to blow everywhere. “I shall show you the difference in our strength today. I will show you the consequences of opposing me!”

Zuoqiu Yong lowered his head, parting the clouds as he looked down.

Pain erupted from Li Huowang’s feet, and suddenly, he felt the intense pain of being torn apart. Bloodied bamboo shoots burst from his throat and ripped through his flesh. The growth pushed him upwards, impaling and pushing him high into the air.

The bamboo kept on growing, tearing apart his flesh.
