I Can Traverse Multiple Worlds

Outside the Bronze Hall.

Li Tianhe was still in a daze. Wang Xiao’s sudden words jolted him back to his senses, and a shiver ran down his spine.

He looked at Wang Xiao and swallowed hard.

"B-Brother Wang, what do you mean by that?!"

Wang Xiao’s tone was calm.

"Your Highness, you paid such a heavy price to bring me back. You should have known this day would come. Do I really need to explain further?!"

After years of Cultivation, Li Tianhe had long been able to face any situation with composure.

However.

Upon hearing Wang Xiao’s words, his heart still began to THUMP wildly.

He said,

"I did ask Brother Wang to return because I discovered something was amiss with my Father-Emperor. I wanted Brother Wang to lend me a hand, just in case something unexpected happened."

As he spoke.

He furrowed his brow.

"It’s just... this all happened too suddenly. Besides, making the Four Continents submit to my Great Li alone is an incredibly difficult task. Forget about us, who are only at the Fate-Knowing Realm. Even someone who has surpassed it and reached the Saint King Realm couldn’t possibly achieve that."

"Otherwise, a man of my Father-Emperor’s great ambition and strategy wouldn’t have spent all these years just defending our position in the Southern Continent."

He showed no emotional change over his father’s death.

Instead, he quickly began to analyze the pros and cons, and the probability of success.

After all—

He knew that his Father-Emperor had failed his tribulation. His death was only a matter of time.

Wang Xiao had merely sped up the process.

Wang Xiao said,

"If you don’t try, how will you know it’s impossible? Just as you, at the beginning, probably didn’t believe I had the power to fight your Father-Emperor, let alone defeat him!"

Li Tianhe gritted his teeth.

"Brother Wang is right. Success depends on human effort. But... what should I do? I ask for Brother Wang’s guidance."

As the Second Prince of the Great Li Dynasty, he was naturally not without ambition.

In fact.

Ever since he learned his Father-Emperor had failed his tribulation, he had been secretly maneuvering, preparing to inherit the throne.

However.

In his own plans, he had only envisioned inheriting the throne and taking control of the Southern Continent.

Conquering the other Three Continents was something he wouldn’t even dare to dream of.

Wang Xiao didn’t answer, asking instead,

"The Great Li Dynasty’s Heaven-Worshipping Ceremony should be in a hundred years, correct?!"

The so-called Heaven-Worshipping was an established custom of the Great Li Dynasty.

On this day.

The Great Li Dynasty would use a certain Magic Technique to connect with Heaven and Earth, praying to the heavens for favorable weather and bountiful harvests.

Every Heaven-Worshipping Ceremony would cause the dynasty’s Destiny to surge.

Therefore.

The Great Li Dynasty placed great importance on every Heaven-Worshipping Ceremony.

They would even invite Sects of all sizes from the other Three Continents to observe the rites.

Li Tianhe didn’t understand why Wang Xiao was asking, but he nodded.

"Yes."

Wang Xiao said,

"When the Heaven-Worshipping Ceremony arrives, I will break through to the Fate-Knowing Realm. At that time, you can issue a decree to the paramount powers of the other Three Continents, ordering them to come to the Southern Continent and pay homage. If they refuse, we will simply eliminate them all."

Li Tianhe’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed hard.

"Brother Wang, isn’t... isn’t that a bit too reckless?!"

To directly issue a decree ordering the paramount powers of the Three Continents to come and pay their respects.

That was tantamount to declaring open war on them.

Even the Great Li Dynasty couldn’t withstand a joint attack from the paramount powers of the Three Continents.

It was no different from suicide.

Wang Xiao smiled faintly.

"At our Realm, schemes and plots are ultimately irrelevant. The most important thing is still one’s own strength."

"My strength right now is already comparable to the Saint King Realm. In a hundred years, do you think the great masters of these paramount powers will still be a match for me?!"

Li Tianhe pursed his lips.

He knew what Wang Xiao said was true, but knowing and accepting were two different things.

This concerned the future Destiny of the Great Li Dynasty; he naturally didn’t dare to make any promises lightly.

Wang Xiao saw through Li Tianhe’s hesitation and said,

"Forget it. It’s not too late to discuss this matter in a hundred years. The most pressing issue right now is for you to take control of the Great Li Dynasty and formally ascend the throne as emperor."

"That way, I can also borrow some of the Great Li Dynasty’s resources to break through to the Fate-Knowing Realm sooner!"

He hadn’t chosen the Celestial Observation Cauldron before, so he couldn’t use its power to absorb Cosmic Spiritual Material and strengthen the Grotto Heaven within him.

Therefore.

To strengthen his Grotto Heaven in a short period and complete the first step of breaking through to Tier Eight—Inner Strength—

he would need to rely on other powers.

The Great Li Dynasty had existed for a hundred thousand years.

Aside from Marvels like the Heaven-Flipping Seal, there were surely other treasures that could aid his Cultivation!

The reason Wang Xiao was helping Li Tianhe was, firstly, to obtain the Magic Technique for ascending to the Upper Realm.

And secondly, he had his eyes on the Great Li Dynasty’s Royal Family treasury!

Li Tianhe thought for a moment, then said,

"Right now, the only one who can compete with me for the throne is my eldest brother. He also has several Fate-Knowing Realm experts helping him, but I am confident I can handle it."

"Once I’ve gathered my people and forged one of my Father-Emperor’s edicts, I can inherit the throne legitimately!"

For him to have reached his current position, his ambition was no less than Li Mutian’s.

He might even have surpassed his predecessor.

Right now.

Wang Xiao had created the perfect conditions for him, and he would naturally do everything in his power to seize the opportunity!

Wang Xiao nodded.

"Mm, I have already set up a Barrier here. No one can get in, nor can they learn of the Jade Emperor’s death."

"You should be able to handle the rest."
