Divine Brilliance

Chapter 1197: Death Of Biexue

“Great Shang is finished and so is the Yuanchen Emperor. Our Confucian Faction is probably about to weaken too…”

In a college in a part of the imperial city, a student looked at the palace with a stunned expression. His eyes were really conflicted and lost.

“Weaken and fall? That might not be the case. Our appearance in the world is in our teachings but what we are inculcated in are the people. When the teachings fail the people, one day we will be abandoned by them. However, we are far from being hated by the people of the world.”

Clear laughter spread out from the Confucian behind causing the former to look back with a weird expression.

Although the Confucian behind was smiling, his eyes were filled with a really solemn and serious gaze.

“Wenwei, you can be sad and angry but you can’t give up. Actually, thinking about it, the crisis we are facing today might not be a bad thing. Now, we will be able to wake up and correct our mistakes which is much better than continuing to be wrong in the future. The ancient phoenix can rise from the ashes. Let’s hope that we can too…”

“Rise from the ashes?”

Wenwei had a weird expression on his face, then he understood, “Yangming, are you…”

“To head back to our roots and clear the mistakes, that is something we have to do!”

Yangming laughed, his tone filled with determination, “Zhu Zi’s path is really biased, so we can’t use it. To allow our Confucian Faction live again we have to do something!”

Wenwei was jolted awake and actually felt excited, “However, do you know the outcome? You are competing with Zhu Zi for the orthodoxy of the Dao. It won’t be easy in the future…”

Wang Shouren broke into a laugh, “Didn’t they say that if I am right no one will be able to hide it?”

“Then, where are you prepared to start? Head back to Bailu Heavy Cave to debate with them?”

“Since we want to merge knowledge with actions, then we have to redo the scriptures. We should do something practical.”

Wang Shouren shook his head, “Zhu Zi is planning on changing the scriptures before putting it to practical use. However, debating with nothing to look at will naturally result in mistakes. I am prepared to head back to Jiangnan and follow Great Gan laws to contest to be the head of a county.”

Wenwei instantly frowned, “With how talented you are, if you are willing to take up a role you can even become the head of a state. His Majesty is the Saint Ruler and definitely knows how to use people. If you recommend yourself you will definitely be able to take up an important role. Why is there a need for you to downgrade yourself?”

“Haha! How can we talk about any downgrade? You hold me in too high a regard.”

Wang Shouren laughed, “Moreover, what you and I want is to change our Confucian Faction teachings and not fight for power. Since that is the case, then what is the point of the position? What matters is the lowest layer between people. If we want to rise up again, we can’t neglect that.”

Wenwei was stunned and then shook his head. Although he stopped trying to persuade him, he knew that his good friend was someone with his own viewpoint. Since he had already made up his mind, then there was no way to change it.

Listening to it, those words did make sense.

※※※※

Within Fenghua Palace, the golden throne in the reading room was still perfectly fine. However, Yinyu’s body on the chair had lost its head.

After slicing off Yinyu’s head, Zong Shou stopped worrying about that person and looked towards the sky.

At the moment, Li Biexue was slowly forced into despair. However, Wei Xu and Lin Yuanjing just controlled and trapped him, not going all out against him.

It wasn’t that they were showing mercy or that they were worried about something but that they had something to ask.

“My Senior Brother’s soul was split into six that year. One of them was kept by you, so where did you seal it? You should understand that in the future our Common People’s Path has ways to find out. It is just that we need to spend a bit more effort.”

Li Biexue gave out a mocking laugh like he was filled with disdain. He tried his best to break free from the magnetism power when suddenly, a giant copper fist struck forth. Li Biexue tried to block, but halfway in the air, Lin Yuanjing’s technique changed.

The giant strength smashed him, like a falling kite sinking into the ground!

Yuanjing, who was 30,000 feet in the air said expressionlessly, “Li Biexue, you have committed so many sins this life and should be suppressed for life. However, if you are willing to say where my Senior Brother is, I will seal you for eight million years. After that we will allow you to revive.”

Li Biexue was tempted, but shortly after, he laughed out loud like a madman, “Eight million years? You want me to not think for eight million years? Who knows if this region will even still exist in eight million years?”

Yuanjing scoffed coldly and knew that her words wouldn’t work. Her body was floating in the air and with just a flash she was behind Li Biexue.

She continued to use the Xuan Heaven Spirit Changing Technique, causing Xufu’s magnetism blades to slash into his body.

At that moment in the sky, Wei Xu’s sword turned grey-white once more.

Zong Shou looked on quietly and didn’t stop her. He wanted to ask Li Biexue about how to remove the seal.

However, looking at the situation, even if he did ask it would be pointless. Even if Li Biexue told him, he wouldn’t be at ease enough to use it.

Su Xiaoxiao’s Dao Foundations had already been recreated and her influence by the curse was lowered to a small amount.

In the future, as long as she cultivated to the Saint Realm, she could rely on her own strength to remove it.

This was why it didn’t matter that he didn’t know how to remove the curse.

However, the moment that Wei Xu’s Styx River Death Sword sped through the air and stabbed down, Li Biexue laughed and the 10,000-foot space around him started to collapse.

“It seems like your Common People’s Path was really prepared to kill me…”

A spacetime portal was forcefully opened. It didn’t connect to the outer region world river but a world a few thousand worlds away!

The change that occured at that instant caught even Yuanjing off guard. In that world there should have been a formation or God receiving him. Her technique was stopped.

She couldn’t stop it and could only look on as the spacetime hole was completed.

Li Biexue’s tragic laugh sounded out throughout the Imperial City.

“Do you really think that I will die? Zong Shou, Wei Xu, Xu Fu, you all really are vicious. I will definitely make you pay for the hate and humiliation today. Sooner or later, I will wipe out your Common People Path and cause chaos in Great Gan. That Xuan…”

Within the Fenghua Palace, the expressions of Wei Xu and the others changed. Zong Shou sneakily summoned that completed Celestial Slaying Flying Knife into his hands. At the same time, a thread of black blood spat out from Li Biexue’s mouth. His entire left chest felt like it was hit by a hammer and it collapsed.

Li Biexue’s body was on the verge of falling and the collapsed space instantly became unstable.

Yuanjing didn’t hesitate. The Xuan Heaven Spirit Changing Technique continue to swap such that the spacetime hole couldn’t form.

Wei Xu’s Styx River Death Sword finally struck. Xufu had also flashed to the side of Li Biexue’s body.

With a finger, he locked onto Li Biexue’s soul. A billion threads of magnetism power gathered on his finger.

The two of them were worried that Li Biexue would use another method to flee which was why they went all out and held nothing back.

Wei Xu’s white sword stabbed in, causing Li Biexue’s Indestructible Body to turn white and die.

Xufu pointed with his finger, instantly exploding Li Biexue’s head.

The End Realm Body exploded and a wave of vast power instantly exploded out from within and charged all around.

The entire Fenghua Palace, everything turned to dust under the vast power!

Luckily, Zong Shou was prepared. The 12 Copper Men stood facing all directions. An invisible power barrier spread out and blocked all of the Celestial Power within the palace, such that the eighteen million people outside of the palace were totally fine.

Thousands of light threads exploded out of Yuanjing’s hand, along with the green vines from Taiyi Emperor Lord, entangling Li Biexue’s soul.

End Realm Saint Venerable’s soul couldn’t be destroyed. Even if they lost their body, it was still the case.

As long as one had a bit of spiritual sense, then one wasn’t gone. As long as just a bit flew away, one could form their soul body once more and forge a new physical body.

The few people in the room didn’t dare to be careless. The 12 Copper Men, Common Life Seven Swords, Fuling Sword Formation, layer after layer they locked down the area.

Wei Xu and Yuanjing sealed and suppressed each bit of soul fragment.

To avoid suspicion, since Li Biexue’s soul exploded, he retreated to Zong Shou’s side and didn’t participate anymore. He expressed that he wasn’t going to touch any of the fragments.

His expression seemed a little sad. That the giant Demon Path Head that ruled the Cloud World for so long had disappeared from this region. Under the suppression of Common People’s Path, he might not be able to revive for the next 10,000 years. Unless Common People Path was wiped out…

However, the sadness lasted for just a moment before he smiled.

“Heart Slaying Soul Trapping Nail! During that moment, I actually thought that Li Biexue would be able to escape.”

Zong Shou burst out laughing. This nail was probably done by Mingri Xuan.

Heart Slaying Soul Trapping was one of the techniques that he was good at, stronger than Zhongxuan’s Heart Trapping Nail.

It also required blood sacrifice. Zhongxuan used the blood of 3,000 kids while Mingri Xuan used Li Biexue’s Yin Vein Spirit Slaughtering Formation.

The life power essence energy that was absorbed couldn’t be returned anymore, so it was a waste to just use it like that. Zong Shou could accept it being used on Li Biexue.

Actually, he was prepared long ago. However, his Celestial Slaying Flying Knife could be blocked and predicted, so its effects were slightly weaker.

He shook his head and he looked at the blood-red pellet in his hand. It was the Demon Pellet left after his body exploded. When it flew away, he had grabbed it.

Speaking of which, this was the second End Realm Demon Pellet he had gotten. Holding it in his hands, it seemed like it was alive, jumping about and absorbing essence energy.
