Chapter 773: Chapter 224: Creating History Single-Handedly—The Immortal Realm Dares Not Cross East

Li Yuan recalled those past days, shaking his head in self-mockery, and said, "I really don’t think I’m a good person, I killed his father..."

He was about to say more, but Xie Wei reached out to cover his mouth.

Xie Wei looked at him seriously and said, "His father has always been you."

Li Yuan sighed with emotion, suddenly recalling a story of a "false father" in a part of history before he crossed over, and at that moment, that history oddly overlapped with the present, giving him a surreal feeling of creating history.

He steadied the Empress Dowager in front of him and said, "After gaining control of the Mountain Hall, don’t touch the people on the water transport line. That line might reconnect with the Immortal Realm and serves as a good bait.

Additionally, when the last disciple died, he didn’t have much on him. I suspect he hid something somewhere. Have your people search for it. If anything is found, I will come and take it.

Lastly, mobilize your people to search everywhere, pretending to investigate the culprit. Don’t let anyone suspect that the death of the Immortal Realm Envoy is related to you."

"I know," Xie Wei softly replied.

...

...

After indulging in Jade Heart Pool, Li Yuan felt his spirits restored quite a bit.

To live long in the world is meant to be like water.

Water is formless and can thus adapt to any terrain, flowing far away.

Li Yuan wanted to experience various lives, so naturally, he also needed to become various people.

As for the argument that "experiencing other lives will make you lose your true self," he scorned it. If one’s true self is so easily lost, then let it be lost... Just like living a life, was your mindset at ten your true self? Was it at twenty? People grow and naturally change, and the brilliance lies within that change.

For example, a moment ago, Li Yuan was a terrifying figure behind the scenes, skillfully and brutally killing two Immortal Envoys, making people in the Imperial Capital pale at the mere mention of him.

And in the next moment, he suddenly wanted to become a knight, a knight without those filthy dealings, one pure in his mission to vanquish evil.

But before he could become such a knight, he had things to do first.

Firstly, he went to the bustling city, bought a swallow kite, and then arrived at the Dragon Roar Hall, where he inscribed "Strive Unrelentingly" in the handwriting of the previous emperor on the kite and placed it before the emperor’s bed.

The reason he knew the previous emperor’s handwriting was because he practiced it while impersonating the former emperor.

And the swallow kite was the same one they used when he accompanied the young emperor to fly kites as a child...

He wasn’t sure why he wanted to do this.

Perhaps, compared to Xie Wei’s ruthlessness, he still had a trace of warmth for that pitiable child.

A seemingly inconsequential kite couldn’t prove anything, but at least it might make the child stronger?

Then, he took Wei Huosheng’s three flame-colored flags and hid them in the Dark Pavilion beneath the An Divine Hall, before starting to ponder the Red Sleeve Blade.

When using this blade, he discovered an interesting fact: the void of ten thousand years of lifespan hadn’t triggered any natural phenomena.

What does this mean?

This means that the void of ten thousand years of lifespan had just formed and was already rapidly replenished.

Li Yuan pondered.

He realized there was a strong possibility: that this blade absorbed his ten thousand years of lifespan and then, using the power created by the void of ten thousand years, combined with the curse hidden within the blade, absorbed all the opponent’s lifespan to replenish that void.

If the opponent’s lifespan was insufficient, it quickly consumed the "lifespan" of nearby objects.

Hence, the three flags turned to ashes, and the inherited inner armor appeared dull and lifeless.

Therefore, this blade was actually a "lifespan-absorbing" blade.

The more life you give it, the more life it helps you take from your opponent.

Yet, on second thought, this still seemed off, implying there was an unknown secret.

Li Yuan became increasingly wary of the curse on Yan Hongxiu, but... the blade was very useful, an ideal weapon for finishing blows in a battle, making it a perfect trump card.

After finishing up, he returned to the Peach Grove Cottage.

Inside the cottage, Xiaoyu’Er was still waiting for him.

...

At this time...

In the Dragon Roar Hall of the Imperial Palace.

The young emperor returned, his eyes still red.

The day’s events left him in unbearable pain.

His lonely figure stood conspicuously in the magnificent hall.

The emperor, like a walking corpse, came to the bed, sat on it, and then, suddenly, his gaze froze, fixating in surprise on a kite beside the pillow.

It was a swallow kite, with four words written on it: "Strive Unrelentingly."

Since assuming the throne, due to longing for his father, he often reviewed the writings his father left behind, becoming intimately familiar with them.

And the words "Strive Unrelentingly" were precisely his father’s handwriting.

But, wasn’t father dead?

Who was playing a prank, placing such a kite by my bed?

Who could so easily enter the Dragon Roar Hall?

Could it be...

Could it be that Father has been alive all along?

Is he hinting to me?

That must be it... It has to be.

Does he know that Mother has done such disgraceful things?

Wait, what if all this is a conspiracy between my father and mother...

The young emperor became more excited the more he thought about it, as if a drowning person destined to sink grasping a straw named hope.

He tightly held the kite, then carefully hid it away.

...

Days later.

With summer past, autumn arrived.

Li Yuan, equipped with the Red Sleeve Blade, went straight to the Southern Land.

He had killed Wei Huosheng and destroyed Mr. Shan; leaving Su Mushen alive would be of no benefit to Sister Yan.
