Chapter 506: Can One Change Fate?

Just as the Kunpeng collected treasures, three individuals arrived at the mountains and seas.

The leader was a woman, possessing extraordinary beauty, clad in azure feathered robes. With every step she took in the air, she could glide ten thousand miles away.

The second was an ordinary-looking man, dressed simply and of average height, but his movement was exceptional; each time he shifted, a deafening roar echoed, allowing him to traverse three hundred thousand miles. The only downside was that he required a longer recovery time, making it difficult for the woman to outpace him.

The third was Jian Wujie, his gaze sharp and cold, standing atop a wooden sword. In an instant, he could distance himself thousands of miles, always keeping up with the other two.

All three were late-stage Bosa cultivators, yet in the Wutu Continent, they vastly outclassed any All-Manifestation Realm cultivators. They had come a long way today for one purpose: to track down the little thief who had angered the Nine Maangs Practitioner, joining forces to eliminate him completely.

“Boom…” The ordinary-looking man stopped and, after catching his breath, exclaimed, “Senior Sister Dai, hold on a moment! I, Lin Qingtian, acknowledge Tan Tiandi’s extensive knowledge, but why did he instruct us to search in two directions? Could that little thief really escape into the void?”

“I find it strange too!” The woman lowered gracefully to the ground, scanning her surroundings. “The first location calculated by Tan Tiandi isn’t far, but the other one is deep within the mountains and seas. There are countless cultivators in the world and various techniques, so perhaps this Li Yingjun has a way to divide his soul. We must be prepared to eliminate him and not give him a chance to escape.”

Jian Wujie chimed in coldly, “It’s just a little Daoist; the Jin Tian Sect is almost ready to abandon him. Even if he tries to escape, where could he possibly go? Before the cave shuts, we’ll surely find a way to eliminate him.”

The three began their search, heading towards Li Hui’s true location…

Meanwhile, Old Li had gone to great lengths to acquire a bag full of supreme Miao Jade—over fifty pieces in total. He wore a satisfied smile as he made his way to a grand hall behind the armory.

“That was close! The Yuan Chen Heavenly Mansion has trap locks everywhere. Almost everything would have been set off while collecting Miao Jade, but thankfully the crystal wall held firm. I’ll leave the remaining items for future breakthroughs! For now, this haul is enough!”

Not long after, the Kunpeng entered the resplendent grand hall, where dozens of thick purple beams shot out; they were mother bugs of the Illuminated Pattern Evil Worms.

The bugs were unaware of the formations, and Old Li effectively opened the back door. The grand hall was filled with swarms of mother bugs, a breeding ground for their eggs.

Prepared, he launched dozens of black and white beams from the talisman, spinning the mother bugs and slowing their movements, seizing the opportunity to throw out two massive demon beast corpses he had ready.

“Wuwuwu…” The mother bugs, guided by instinct, swarmed towards the corpses.

Seizing the rare chance, the Kunpeng sped around the hall, collecting heaps of dead eggs stacked high in a corner, and swept up the ink, brush, paper, inkstone, and the weight in the table before barreling toward the left side exit to escape.

“Hahaha, I did it! Fuxi’s divine pen, Longyuan Tian Kui ink, Spring Flower Autumn Moon paper, and the most valuable Zifeng grinding cloud inkstone.”

“Getting these four items now is a gigantic win! Moreover, there’s the strongest treasure of Yuan Chen Heavenly Mansion, concealed within the weight— the Tianyan Sun and Moon Dharma Wheel. This is worth it—so valuable! Just sealing it within the weight lets us unleash various wonders, firmly controlling the Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind.”

“Kunpeng, boost my escape speed!” The silver snake Legal form glanced back, lamenting, “The Yuan Chen Heavenly Mansion is truly perilous! It’s difficult to clear out without sacrificing a few powerful beings. Right now, the outside world is unaware of this place. If news leaks, it won’t just be allowing disciples into the Golden Luan Great Thousand Cave; all the sect’s high-level demon cultivators will come in person.”

By the time the Kunpeng squeezed through a gap to exit the Yuan Chen Heavenly Mansion, the silver snake Legal form suddenly trembled.

Old Li shouted, “Oh no! Dai Qingtian and the others are coming! Tan Tiandi has brought a large number of practitioners! Are we doomed to repeat failure? Am I and this era’s Li Hui destined to not change our fates? No, absolutely not! This setback will impact the next hundred years!”

“There’s a fish in Beiming, named Kun!”

With a furious roar, the decree billowed in the wind, and suddenly the sky seemed to turn upside down, revealing a giant flying fish, three thousand miles in length.

This was the true form of Kunpeng, six wings bursting with countless feathers flapping madly, with an enormous cloud rolling behind, surging forcefully as he flew a million miles in an instant.

Meanwhile, Jian Wujie and the other two pinpointed the exact location, slowly descending from the sky.

The woman observed for a moment and said, “A talisman formation? A little Daoist! Two demon creatures are controlling the formation, one of which is a Wild Cow with a solid foundation. Did this child acquire such resources after entering the cave? This luck is quite enviable.”

“Five breaths!” Jian Wujie held up five fingers and said, “In just five breaths, my sword can pierce the formation and take the demon creature’s life.”

“Stop boasting.” The ordinary-looking man scoffed.

“Then let’s see.”

Before he finished speaking, Jian Wujie drew his sword, and suddenly, thousands of treasure talismans appeared in the air, but as his sword struck back and forth, most of the talismans were cut in half before they could unleash their power.

The sword was too fast, and the little ball of fear could barely breathe, trembling as he released a mass of talismans, fluttering around like butterflies in a dance. However, in an instant, they shattered and fell like snowflakes.

“What a sword that breaks all laws!” The woman nodded, her eyes glimmering with appreciation.

“Boom…” The sword came crashing down like a mountain, shattering the little ball into fragments, and all the talismans vanished in a flicker of light and shadow.

In less than five breaths, Jian Wujie had broken the formation, yet none of the three wore smiles; their expressions grew especially grim as they saw several stone mirrors turn to dust in the formation’s center.

“Fake?”

“How could this be? Where are they?”

The three scanned their surroundings and noticed a fleeing shadow in the distance.

Li Hui sat on the azure bull’s back, his eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought. The little ball wrapped around the bull’s tail, releasing talismans as he ran to accelerate.

“Run fast, bull! If we slow down, we’ll become beef stew!”

“Stop scaring me, I could just switch to a new owner and continue as a mount.” The azure bull revealed its true form, six horns glowing brightly. The three behind were astonished to see the demon bull vanish in a burst of light.

“Is that light escape?” The woman’s eyes lit up. “What a rare beast! What speed! It’s impressive even without fully growing up; if it matures, it will cause a calamity!”

“Chase it!” Jian Wujie slashed with his sword, creating a tear in the air, stepping into the sword shadow and instantly closing the distance with the fleeing azure bull.

As the chase continued, they didn’t realize how far they had fled.

The azure bull panted heavily, foaming at the mouth, saying, “It’s over; I’m too slow to regain my breath. This old bull isn’t slacking off; I just can’t run anymore.”

“Damn it! The Reincarnation Talisman is in the treasure cabinet; I can’t retrieve it,” the little ball lamented! Though he had restored his peak strength, his talents lay solely in talisman-making, and the enemy was too formidable—what to do?

The three reached a decision and launched their attack without a word wasted.

Suddenly, the wind picked up! A strong wind swept through, clouds flying, and a vast figure overshadowed the sky, enveloped in a layer of mysterious demonic intent.
