157: Chapter 157 The Power of Ruoshui

"Ding! Disciple Lü Tianyang has condensed one dao flower. One hundred times return triggered. Host receives one hundred supreme dao flowers!"

"Ding! Disciple Murong Shishi has condensed one dao flower. One hundred times return triggered. Host receives one hundred supreme dao flowers!"

...

Just one day after Shangguan Xuetang condensed her dao flower, the System's voice rang out in succession!

Lü Tianyang, Peacock King, Yu Daozhi, and Murong Shishi had all condensed their dao flowers.

Now, Li Que possessed five hundred and seven supreme dao flowers directly!

This quantity was absolutely shocking when looking across the entire Immortal Realm!

Not to mention five hundred, throughout history, those who could condense a hundred dao flowers and continue to advance had already been hailed as "Immortal King seeds"!

Now, among Li Que's Disciples, only Ye Lingxi remained, and there was still not much movement from her.

But Li Que was not anxious. After destroying Wanji City, he had given all the massive amount of Immortal Artifacts he obtained to her. When her state of mind achieved success, her progress would be extremely rapid!

Additionally, True Monarch Bai Lian was also still stuck, but not because his cultivation was slow; rather, he dared not Breakthrough and needed to hide his strength.

And at this moment, feedback information regarding Liu Yan also quickly arrived:

"Ding! Disciple Liu Yan has obtained the 【Innate Dao Body】. One hundred times return triggered. Host receives the 【Innate Sacred Body Dao Platform】. Rarity: Unprecedented!"

"Ding! Disciple Liu Yan has obtained cultivation at the 【Half-step Daluo】 realm. One hundred times return triggered. Host receives one hundred supreme dao flowers!"

"Ding! Disciple Liu Yan has obtained an Incomplete Manual of the Reincarnation Scripture. One hundred times return triggered. Host receives Minor Achievement in the Reincarnation Scripture!"

Seeing this series of messages, Li Que immediately laughed!

As expected, the current Liu Yan was a cheat in herself!

Any female cultivator, once they merged their Dao with her, would have everything they possessed taken by her.

And afterwards, it would be returned to Li Que a hundredfold!

She was simply an innately born worker's sacred body.

He immediately checked:

【Innate Sacred Body Dao Platform】: A Physique obtained by combining the Innate Dao Body and the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body; it only existed in legends and had never appeared before.

【Reincarnation Scripture】: A scripture passed down from the ancient era, created by the 【Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation】. Only fragments circulated in the Immortal Realm. Cultivating this scripture allowed one to channel the power of Reincarnation into their body, granting unparalleled combat strength. Additionally, it allowed one to easily seize other Authorities of Reincarnation!

Li Que's eyes lit up!

The Innate Sacred Body Dao Platform could be called an invincible posture, and the Minor Achievement of the Reincarnation Scripture was of great use to him.

As it stood, someone in the Ghost Domain had long since mastered Reincarnation.

And here in the Immortal Domain, he was likely not the only one possessing an Underworld.

So, once so many "Lords of Reincarnation" collided, a winner would inevitably be decided.

The strong would annex the Authority of the weak.

As the most recently promoted Lord of Reincarnation, Li Que actually held no advantage compared to the others!

However, the Reincarnation Scripture was the key to mastering Reincarnation. With this complete scripture, Li Que could easily open others' Reincarnation and take away their Authority.

It was simply... no different from cheating!

He couldn't help but marvel that this move played by Yin Wuji was truly excellent!

Not long after, the door to his Immortal Cave was knocked upon.

"Come in,"

Li Que spoke, and the Immortal Cave opened. It was "Yin Xuehuang" who walked in calmly.

"Husband, it is getting late, we should head to the Border Great Wall. Before that, may I enter the Reincarnation to have a look?"

"Yin Xuehuang" asked.

Seeing this, Li Que couldn't help but laugh!

"Come, come, I shall take you there."

He stood up and took "Yin Xuehuang's" hand, but suddenly applied force, and "Yin Xuehuang" fell into his arms.

"You scoundrel, what do you want to do?"

Yin Xuehuang scolded angrily, but Li Que slapped her—

Yin Xuehuang was immediately stunned, and she looked at Li Que with some fear—

Because she discovered that Li Que's cultivation... was actually much higher than her own?

Wasn't Li Que a Half-step Daluo? But now it seemed he was at least a True Monarch!

She immediately panicked!

And Li Que said leisurely: "Let Master check if you have truly become exactly like Yin Xuehuang—"

Hearing this, Yin Xuehuang's expression changed drastically, and she said tremblingly: "Master..."

Indeed, the one who entered was not the real Yin Xuehuang at all!

It was Liu Yan!

Liu Yan had used her Water-like Dao Body to copy everything about Yin Xuehuang.

After obtaining the Half-step Daluo cultivation and the cultivation of the Reincarnation Scripture, she immediately understood Yin Xuehuang's true intentions, so she arrived one step ahead of Yin Xuehuang.

She wanted to get there first and take away Li Que's Authority!

Unfortunately, Li Que saw through it at a glance.

This Rebellious Disciple truly had a viper's heart; whenever there was even the slightest chance, she thought about killing him, her Master.

"Master, I was wrong..."

Liu Yan was anxious and was about to change back to her own appearance, but Li Que suddenly said: "You are not allowed to change back, stay like this!"

Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized and understood in a second!

She maintained Yin Xuehuang's appearance, with a cold face, and scolded angrily:

"Li Que, you beast, how dare you mess with me? My father will not let you off..."

"My father is a True Monarch, my Master is an Immortal King. If you dare touch me, they will definitely kill you... No!"

...

Not long after.

Liu Yan struggled to get up, but she was somewhat excited!

Because her Physique had undergone some changes; it seemed even more powerful than before!

"Cultivating with Master actually has such benefits?"

She couldn't help but look at Li Que more, her eyes shining.

This meant that Li Que likely possessed a Physique that was of the same origin as hers, and of even higher quality!

—There was a saying among Physiques in the world that "like sounds respond to each other, and like Qis seek each other."

"Master, who else do you like?"

She suddenly asked!

Li Que: "??"

Before he could answer, Liu Yan suddenly transformed into the appearance of Shangguan Xuetang.

"Li Que, return my Authority of Reincarnation!"

Shangguan Xuetang was dressed in dark red tight leather armor, with cutouts at the waist and abdomen, revealing a tight, snow-white waistline. Her figure was tall, and her curves were full of tension!

Her face was originally extremely beautiful, but there was a cross-shaped sword scar on her left cheek, which was shocking to behold. Her gaze was sharp, making people dare not look directly at her.

She was full of hatred and resentment as she attacked Li Que, but Li Que grabbed her wrist.

Li Que originally wanted to refuse, but this Rebellious Disciple... truly needed to be taught a lesson!

Not long after.

Liu Yan was satisfied.

"Master, I want to leave for a while first."

She spoke, looking at Li Que seriously.

Li Que naturally understood Liu Yan's thoughts.

Her Water-like Dao Body grew stronger when encountering the strong; staying by Li Que's side all the time was actually a constraint!

Now that she had copied everything about Yin Xuehuang, she could completely walk the world under the identity of Yin Xuehuang, and she could also use this to come into contact with more high-level female cultivators.

Li Que smiled slightly and said: "Alright."

"I will keep the real Yin Xuehuang here for you."

"Go!"

Liu Yan immediately stood up. Before leaving, she looked at Li Que again and said: "Master, rest assured, I will definitely return!"

She left immediately.

And not long after.

The real Yin Xuehuang finally arrived. She stood outside Li Que's Immortal Cave, her voice cold:

"Husband, we are about to head to the Border Great Wall. At that time, your Reincarnation will very likely attract a second disaster..."

"It is time for me to enter the Reincarnation."

She could wait no longer.

Li Que calmly opened the Immortal Cave, smiled slightly, and said: "Wife, please come in. I will take you to the Reincarnation."

Yin Xuehuang was slightly excited in her heart and immediately walked in.

Li Que did not hesitate and directly opened the Underworld.

When the scene of the Sea of Bitterness in Hell appeared before Yin Xuehuang, she was completely excited.

This was Reincarnation; this was the thing that belonged to her!

She entered the Yama Hall directly and saw the Authority of Reincarnation placed on the desk. Impatient, she reached out to grab it—

But her hand was already grabbed by Li Que.

"What are you doing?"

Yin Xuehuang's expression turned angry, and she was about to resist, but the vast Daluo Immortal power surged from Li Que, and Yin Xuehuang's whole body was instantly numbed by the shock!

"What?!"

Her pupils constricted; she was extremely incredulous!

Li Que was not a Half-step Daluo at all... but a real Grand Unity Golden Immortal, a real True Monarch!

Even, his True Monarch cultivation might be stronger than her own father, Yin Wuji.

"You actually hid your cultivation..."

She was greatly shocked in her heart and immediately circulated her Innate Dao Body, preparing to resist.

Her Physique was special; even when facing someone with a higher cultivation than her own, she could still fight.

But as soon as her Bloodline stirred, she was grabbed by the waist by Li Que and was unable to move at all.

Was Li Que's Physique even stronger than her own?

At this moment, she trembled completely!

She had originally thought that by relying on the Innate Dao Body and the Reincarnation Scripture, she could suppress Li Que, but now she saw... both she and her father had fallen into a trap!

Her father had personally sent her into the tiger's den!

And now, this tiger had finally revealed its true colors...

"Husband, I... my primordial yin needs to wait until I become a Daluo before it is useful to take; now... it is not the time."

She said tremblingly!

As a proud daughter of heaven, she had always been high and mighty, as cold and beautiful as an iceberg, but now, she was close to pleading, using the tone of a weakling!

"Is there a possibility that I do not care about your primordial yin?"

Li Que suddenly laughed and said: "I just want to see now if you really have a red plum birthmark on your leg?"

Hearing this, Yin Xuehuang's delicate body trembled. She was ashamed and angry again. How did Li Que know?!

Her body had never been seen by anyone in this life...

No, there was one person!

"Liu Yan betrayed me?!"

She was extremely ashamed and angry, and she tried her best to attack, struggling frantically!

...

Not long after.

"I have high hopes for you; you will definitely be able to become a queen among fierce ghosts! Come on!"

Li Que threw Yin Xuehuang first into the Skinning Hell, and then into the Oil Cauldron Hell. There was quite a bit of regret in his eyes.

This woman's Physique was truly good, and furthermore, there were many things about her that Liu Yan could never learn.

But an enemy was an enemy.

Since she wanted to seize Li Que's Reincarnation and wanted to kill Li Que... she should have been prepared for failure.

However, such a proud daughter of heaven, being tortured like this by Li Que, would definitely have soaring resentment and shocking hatred, and she would surely have a great future in the Ghost Domain!

Although he couldn't really kill her now, to avoid Yin Wuji and the Qing Qiong Immortal Court noticing, it was still fine to put her in Hell to suffer some punishment first.

"Ah—"

In the oil cauldron, Yin Xuehuang let out a miserable scream—

"Li Que, even if I become a ghost, I will not let you off. I will kill you, I will kill you..."

The curses echoed throughout the entire Hell.

...

At the same time.

Wuji Holy Land, Yin Family.

"Xuehuang, why are you back?"

Yin Wuji was extremely surprised to see Yin Xuehuang return.

"How was it? Did you succeed? Did you get the Authority of Reincarnation?"

Yin Wuji asked eagerly.

"Not yet, but it should be soon."

Yin Xuehuang said: "Father, where is Mother? I want to see her..."

Yin Wuji was a bit puzzled, but still nodded and said: "Alright, I will go call your mother over."
