Chapter 470: Discussion
“What is this?” wrote Wang Wei with a calm demeanor.
“Salvation,” replied Li Jun with the same tone.
“So, you’ve lied to me to lower my guard?”
Li Jun shook his head: “I did not lie. Su Ai is expecting my child. You will be a godfather soon.”
Wang Wei looked at the formation around him. The first time he noticed was that it was at a level beyond his understanding, meaning that it was Immortal-Level.
He then analyzed all the runes he recognized while calculating the effects of the others based on their positions and arrangements. Then, his face became very ugly to look at it.
“Are you crazy? You want to replace me as the Trial Taker and die in my place?”
“This is the only way to save you.”
“Who gave you this formation?” wrote Wang Wei furiously. “With your capability, you would not be able to create this kind of thing, let alone set it up.”
Li Jun remained silent and did not say anything.
“It was Wu Hong, wasn’t it?”
Wang Wei could guess the truth. Before Heavenly Dao trapped her, she went to find the secret realm of a Great Emperor who could transfer tribulations or calamities to other people.
So, she probably found the method and secretly gave it to Li Jun so that he sacrificed himself for his sake. Wang Wei could not help but be angry thinking about this.ᴘᴀ ᴅᴀ n ᴏ ᴠʟ
So, he took a deep breath to calm down.
“Li Jun, don’t do anything stupid. If this formation can transfer tribulation, we can choose someone else, some devil cultivator or one of my enemies. There is no need for you to do this.”
“If that were possible, I would have tried that.”
“What do you mean?”
“The Outlaw Trial is a Karmic Trial. For this formation to work, only someone with a deep Karmic Bound and who is meaningful to you is effective. Unfortunately, only four people available fit this criterion, and I volunteered.”
Wang Wei understood what he meant and even guessed that these four people were: his mother, father, grandfather, and Li Jun. Essentially, people who he considered family and had a great spot in his heart.
He even guessed that his family knew of this formation and helped Li Jun build it.
“I have been meaning to say this for quite some time now. But, you cannot live your entire life for my sake,” wrote Wang Wei as he suddenly began to reminisce.
“I understand your loyalty. Perhaps you feel like protecting me gives your life purpose. Maybe you feel like you owe me for taking care of you during childhood when everyone alienated you.
“But you cannot continue to live your life for my sake–especially now that you will be a father.”
Li Jun also began to reminisce and his life.
“Maybe you’re right.” pᴀda nᴏvel
When he entered the Divine Body Realm, the goal and aspiration that he imbued in his Good Fortune Flame were to protect his big brother and ensure that he succeeded in the Battle of the Throne.
“However, it is too late.”
“It’s never too late,” replied Wang Wei. “For once, I’m begging you. Be selfish, don’t do things because of me. Think of your family. Think of your future son or daughter; think about how terrible it will be to grow in this world without knowing their father.”
“What about the trial?”
“I will be fine. As always, I will find a way to survive.”
Li Jun looked straight at him in the eyes.
“I’ve always hated this side of you. It appears you rely on the people close to you, but that’s not true. You will always shoulder all the burden by yourself when things get truly dangerous.”
He has analyzed the battle in the Heavenly Abode World countless time, spending numerous sleepless nights going over every detail. And in the process, he concluded many things.
First, he could have saved himself in the short span that Wang Wei sent him, Yan Liling, and Tie Gang out of the world. Unfortunately, he reacted out of instinct and saved them first.
Second, Li Jun realized that Wang Wei did not have to take on the burden of fighting Di Tian on himself; he could have used their powers. Now, the latter argued that the three of them would be useless in this battle.
However, Li Jun believed otherwise. He knew that his big brother was a master of formation. So, he could have set up an Array that could borrow the power of the three of them.
No matter how weak they were, it was still better than fighting alone. As for the issue of sending spirit particles out of the world to save himself, Wang Wei could have sent Yan Liling out since she is the only non-combatant in their group.
As for their physical safety, Wang Wei could have placed them inside his Divine Sea since he had the method of placing plants inside or in his Space Ring since it could hold lives.
Wang Wei looked at his brother, who was probably his only real friend in this world.
“Little Fatty, this is not the time to be selfish.”
“You don’t need to appeal to my emotion,” replied Li Jun. “I know my child and family will be fine.”
“And how do you know that for sure?”
“Because they will have you to look after them,” he said calmly. Wang Wei took a deep breath before continuing:
“So, you have no qualm making me live with such regret for the rest of my life?”
ραꪒⅆα-ꪒꪫꪥꫀꪶ Li Jun looked at the sky for a moment, “I have never truly asked you for something in my life. So, this time, let me be selfish.”
“Have you ever thought that your action would result in my death?”
“What do you mean?”
“What if your formation can only temporarily postpone my death. And many years later, after your child is born, they learn of the reason that their father is gone. They grew bitter and resentful towards me, thus planning my death.
“You said it yourself; this is a Karmic Trial.”
Li Jun took a small step backward after hearing this: “No, that’s not possible. The talisman said that this would work.”
Wang Wei sneered before writing: “Heavenly Dao calculated Wu Hong and sealed her. So, do you think it cannot calculate her other methods?”
Li Jun did not know how to answer. Based on the information on the talisman and his research, he understood this was a great possibility. In that case, not only would his sacrifice be in vain, but he would do more harm than good.
“Now, do you understand? So, please, stop this formation.”
“But, what about your trial?”
“I have already found a few methods to pass. And one of them is guaranteed, but there are some complications.”
Li Jun pondered for a few minutes before nodding his head and deactivating the formation. Wang Wei flew next to him before tapping his shoulder.
“From now on, you must think of your family when you do things. Don’t be so rash, don’t be so willing to sacrifice yourself–especially for me.”
“…I will try,” replied Li Jun with a sigh. “But, is there any way I can help you in this trial?”
Wang Wei paused for a moment before nodding. “There may be.” He then proceeded to give him a task. As he watched Li Jun fly away, Wang Wei thought about many things.
He has already prepared for his possible death. He even prepared to cast a curse on Di Tian before he either enters Reincarnation or his soul is completely eradicated. All for Li Jun to become the sect’s Heaven Chosen and prove the Dao in this generation.
Although he did not know whether this curse would be useless, he wanted to give Li Jun a fighting chance. Additionally, he also left notes on possible ways to defeat Di Tian and warned him just to seal himself if everything was useless.
‘I hope this event changed the way he views and does things. However, he should not be able to change immediately, but it’s good as long as he does.’
He then flew to the Wang Clam Mountain, where he saw his father holding his mother, with tears in her eyes. Even his father had a somber atmosphere surrounding him.
“Don’t do anything stupid. This is just a clone,” wrote Wang Wei.
“What? How come?” asked Yu Yan, who tried her best to control herself.
Wang Wei has been feeling paranoid for a while, so when Wang Ju told him that Li Jun had important news, he could not help but be suspicious, so he sent a clone.
“Where is your real body?”
“Do you think I will tell you?” replied Wang Wei. That formation required someone closed to him to function, and he did not think any of his family members would hesitate to use it–especially his grandfather.
The old man would use the excuse that he was a member of the older generation and had lived long enough, so his death made the most sense logically. Luckily, he was still in seclusion to stabilize his Dao Heart.
“From now on, I will only interact with all of you with the clone. When the real body needs something, he will relate it through me. And please, do not look for me.”
After writing these words, he flew away to his mountain.
Wang Wei was truly angry; at his mother, father, Li Jun, and, more importantly, his wife. Although he understood the reason for their actions, logic-wise, he could not accept it.
He had already lost his grandma, and now, if he lost any of them–especially if he was directly responsible–he did not know how he would react.
While the clone waited back in the sect, the actual body headed to a Secret Realm to get some more merit.
