Chapter 271 - Her?
Chapter 271 – Her?
Wang Wei frowned after hearing, then he said: "Where is the body?"
Yan Liling then led him and Wu Hong to a room inside the Li family manor. There, they saw Li Jun's head on a table and only his head. Intense fear and shocked could still be seen in his eyes.
He took out a bottle of Holy Spring Water from his space ring and try to feed it to Li Jun's head. Then, he paused for a moment. He then took out his Sacred Son Token and threw it to Yan Liling.
"Go to the Resources Hall and use my token to get a Blood-Sucking Leaf."
Yan Liling's eyes flash with a little surprise as she knew that this a Supreme Tier herb used for healing; the leaf contains a great deal of vitality. The reason it has such a scary name is that the tree requires the blood and vitality of cultivators to grow properly.
Without saying anything, she flew to the Resources Hall and returned soon after with a green leaf in her hand that exuded a soothing breath.. Without hesitation, she fed it to Li Jun's head.
A few minutes later, a bunch of tattoos and symbols appeared on Li Jun's face, then his body regrew itself. Even his soul that already entered Reincarnation was pulled out from there.
When Li Jun opened his eyes, he looked at the people around, then he said: "So, my plan worked?"
Meanwhile, Wang Wei used his Divine Sense to check Li Jun's Soul Imprint; he wanted to make sure that it was the original Li Jun, not someone who had all his memories.
"So, for what reason that you had to waste your Taboo Innate Talent?" asked Wang Wei calmly.
"Big brother, I do not think that it was a waste," replied Li Jun. Then, he threw a punch in the air, making a breaking sign. He smiled in satisfaction.
His Taboo Innate Talent allowed him to die once, then rebirth and become stronger; the talent involved around the concept of truly knowing death before you can bring it upon people. Moreover, the stronger the person who kills him, the more benefit he will receive.
Unfortunately, he could only use this talent once in his life.
After taking a few minutes to test his strength, Li Jun was very satisfied. He could feel that he was only an inch from breaking through the Divine Body Realm.
Then, Li Jun looked at the group and said: "Look what I've discovered." He took his space ring that was returned with his body, took out a talisman, and placed it on his forehead. Soon afterward, Li Jun's memory appeared in front of everyone.
Soon after Wang Wei left for his battle with Ji Song, Li Jun left the sect headed to the Academy, and his target was Di Tian.
He first set a disturbance in the Di family area, forcing Di Tian's Shadow, Di Jia to come to deal with the situation. Then, Li Jun captured her and called Di Tian himself.
Wang Wei frowned after seeing this because he noticed that Li Jun used a very powerful formation to prevent other people from noticing the situation around the Di family manor. Li Jun himself knows nothing about formation, so someone from the sect must have known about this plan, helped him, but they did not tell him about it.
He guessed that they worried that he would refuse, and they were right; he would never allow Li Jun to do such a risky plan–even with his Taboo Talent.
Concentrating himself to ignore his annoyance, Wang Wei continued watching the memory.
Soon afterward, Di Tian showed up. He looked at Li Jun, then he said: "Where is Di Jia?" An act which greatly surprised Wang Wei as he was always under the impression that Di Tian was a cold, ruthless, and calculating person. In this short encounter, he seemed to show genuine care for his subordinate.
"She's fine," answered Li Jun.
"You better pray that she is. So, what is Wang Wei's dog doing attacking me? Is your master too scared to face me himself?"
Li Jun smiled and answered: "Since the master's dog is enough for the hunt, why would he show up?"
Without needing to discuss with his opponent, Li Jun attacked. Unfortunately, he was more outmatched than Ji Song was during his final battle.
"His fleshly body is so strong?" muttered Wang Wei with a surprised look on his face. There has been so little information about Di Tian that he was genuinely surprised.
Meanwhile, after being maltreated for a few minutes, Di Tian said to Li Jun: "I thought that you had some kind of plan to try to attack, but it turns out that you were just sent on a suicide mission. In that case, I will help you.
"[All Things Must Breath Their Last Breath]."
A black and white wheel appeared behind Di Tian, then he punched forward. Li Jun did not have any ability to resist and his body disintegrated into tiny pieces, leaving only his head. Even his soul also disintegrated.
"On account that you did not touch my subordinate, I will leave some part of you to be buried."
Wang Wei frowned, "Is that his created [Nine Reincarnation Fist]? It should be the first Fist that the Heaven Mystery Pavilion mentioned."
He then closed his eyes and placed himself into Li Jun's place. A few seconds later, he muttered: "The end of all matter, the ultimate state of physical death, the last breath of all living things. What a scary technique. Even with my current strength, I will be half-dead if I receive this punch, and this just the First Fist."
Wu Hong patted his shoulder as she said: You do not have to worry as you still have plenty of room to grow."
"My ego is not that fragile. It's just that the level of threat that I placed on this Di Tian was not nearly enough."
Wang Wei then looked at Li Jun, "There should be more, right?"
"Correct. There is a memory that I stole from his brain."
A brand new image appeared in front of everyone. Di Tian laid on the floor with surrounding destroyed. In his arms laid a beautiful woman with sickly paled skin and blood floating on the corner of her mouth.
With great effort, she raised her feeble hand and removed the tears from Di Tian's eyes, and said: "Tian'er, I'm sorry I can no longer accompany you. But I hope that you can forget me and live your life." Then, her hands fell to the ground, no longer moving.
"Ning'er, Ning'er," said Di Tian as he shook her.
"Noooooooooooo!" he roared. His roar shook Heaven and Earth, and the sky started raining blood, showing the intense grief that this man went through.
"Her?" said Wang Wei after seeing the woman in Di Tian's arm.
"Big brother, do you know this woman?"
"Yes, I met her during my travels after beaking through the Supernatural Realm. She was in the form of a Spirit, and she told me that I had eyes similar to someone she knew."
Li Jun nodded, but he was a little disappointed. "I cannot believe that I risk my life and this is all the information I could gather. The only thing we know is that Di Tian lost someone close to him."
"You are wrong," replied Wang Wei. "We can deduce so much information just from this memory.
"For once, we know for sure that he is reincarnated, and most likely still have the memories from his past life.
"Second, drive. We know what drives him forward: most likely, he's trying to find a way to revive his loved one. I always had a suspicion that Di Tian was involved in Fan Li's death, but I never had any proof or ideas to go on. However, now, we can theorize that Fan Li was killed by Di Tian to get access to the [Yin Soul Scripture] and revive her.
"Finally, looked at the clothes and architecture around him in this memory; they do not look familiar or consistent to any Eras of the Myriad Emperor World. So, he most likely was a powerhouse from another World Community that reincarnated in our world."
"No, you are wrong about the last part," suddenly said, Wu Hong.
"Oh, do you recognize the clothes and architecture around him?"
"Yes, they are from the Emperor Beginning Era. The late stages to be precise.
"So, you're saying that Di Tian is from the same Era as the Primordial Gods, Innate Demons, and the Heaven Opening Emperor? And he might even have lived through the Null Era?" asked Wang Wei.
"Possibly."
Wang Wei nodded, then he spent the next few hours going through every detail of this memory and search for any missed details. Moreover, he also started to plan contingencies on how to deal with Di Tian.
The next day, Wang Ju entered the room and said: "Young master, there is news from the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty."
