546: Horrifying means

Before long, Li Qi returned to Gu Yong City, and in his hands... there were two small bronze statues!

Li Qi's figure drifted down slowly from the high sky, landing in Aurora's residence, and this Sacred King looked at Li Qi with a face full of shock.

Just a moment ago, Li Qi had fought against the two Sacred Kings, Gu Chen and Xuan Xiao, a hundred miles away. Although the distance was vast, it was nothing to Aurora.

Although he was in Gu Yong City, he had witnessed the entire process of the three Sacred Kings' battle.

He had witnessed with his own eyes the withering of two Sacred Kings.

And when Aurora saw the two bronze statues placed on the table by Li Qi, his heart could not help but be filled with shock.

These two bronze statues came into being after Gu Chen and Xuan Xiao were Sealed; their material was the same as the qing zun cauldron, incredibly hard and not ordinary objects.

More importantly, these two small, exquisite bronze statues were actually covered in mysterious and profound Seal script!

They were exactly the same as the ancient relics on that qing zun cauldron!

But... how could this be possible?

These relics came from the distant past, from before recorded history. Li Qi had only just come into contact with that qing zun cauldron less than a day ago, yet he had already mastered the power of this Seal script?

Aurora could be certain that Li Qi had never come into contact with anything similar to the qing zun cauldron before.

Perhaps in the entire Universe, the only thing involving such ancient relics... was likely the qing zun cauldron itself.

Furthermore, Aurora was certain that news regarding the qing zun cauldron had never leaked out. Ever since he had discovered this qing zun cauldron, it had never left his sight.

In other words, it was absolutely impossible for Li Qi to have mastered the ancient relics on the qing zun cauldron beforehand...

That meant... there was only one possibility!

Li Qi had only just come into contact with the qing zun cauldron today, yet he had already deciphered all of the ancient relics!

Not only that, Li Qi had completely mastered the power within these ancient relics!

He had even reached the level where he could use them to Seal two Sacred Kings!

What kind of Aptitude was this?

And what kind of wisdom was this?

Even the Dao Ancestor of Hundred Wisdoms from back then... probably wouldn't even be worthy of carrying Li Qi's shoes!

After Li Qi returned, he began to fiddle with the two bronze statues on the table, preparing to extract the Sacred Thrones within them.

Sitting opposite him, Aurora stared blankly at the ancient relics on the bronze statues, looking as if he wanted to say something but held back.

His relationship with Li Qi was merely an Alliance; they were not close friends of many years. He knew what should be asked and what should not... he still had some sense of propriety.

If he were to rashly open his mouth and ask sensitive questions, he might offend Li Qi, and cracks would appear in their Alliance.

Therefore, Aurora opened his mouth to speak several times, but he forced himself to hold back.

Li Qi's peripheral vision noticed Aurora opposite him, who looked like he wanted to speak but was conflicted. He found it secretly amusing, but he didn't show it on his face.

He raised his hand, condensed clusters of Golden Radiance, and struck them into the bronze statues on the table.

"Ah..."

A faint scream rang out in both of their ears. Aurora couldn't help but frown slightly, while Li Qi's expression remained as calm as ever.

The Golden Radiance struck into the bronze statues was the Golden Dawn Key condensed from the Golden Dawn Guiding Method. The Golden Dawn Keys wandered through every part of the two bronze statues and quickly found their targets.

Immediately after, Aurora heard a few "click" sounds of mechanical gears locking in his ears, and then he saw Li Qi reach out and pull a brilliant, golden Sacred Throne from within the bronze statues!

"Damn!!!"

Aurora was so shocked that he jumped up from his chair, looking at Li Qi with disbelief.

There was no other reason, just because the speed at which Li Qi extracted others' Sacred Thrones... was simply too fast!

It was well known that for a Sacred King to fuse and refine a Sacred Throne, it required a long period of time to accomplish—shortly over a decade, or as long as several decades.

Although destruction was simpler than construction, and extracting a Sacred Throne was relatively easier, it still took two or three years to do.

How could it be like Li Qi's?

He just grabbed the bronze statues that the Sacred Kings had been Sealed into and started plucking, directly extracting the Sacred Thrones from them!

Even if I went to the fields to husk corn... I wouldn't necessarily be as slick as you!

Li Qi's operation completely shocked Aurora. His expression was almost dazed as he watched Li Qi continuously extract one Sacred Throne after another from the two bronze statues.

In just the time it took to drink a cup of tea, all seven Sacred Thrones were extracted and fell into Li Qi's hands.

Sitting opposite, Aurora looked at the glittering Sacred Thrones in Li Qi's hands, and his heart could not help but burn with desire.

He had never seen as many Sacred Thrones in his entire life... as he had seen today!

If it were in the past, seeing so many Sacred Thrones placed before him, Aurora would definitely have used any means necessary to seize them!

Regardless of the cost, even if it meant dying on the spot... he would not hesitate.

But times were different now. Aurora forcefully suppressed the desire in his heart, moved his gaze away from the seven Sacred Thrones, and then looked at Li Qi.

"These seven Sacred Thrones are all yours..."

"Hurry up and fuse them all."

But Li Qi frowned slightly and shook his head slowly.

"No, I will not fuse these Sacred Thrones..."

"Just keep them safe."
