Chapter 1058: Hundred-Day Pact
Along the way, under Liu Zixuan’s persuasion, Qiqi finally let go of any hostility towards the beautiful master and Luo Xi, awkwardly calling them sister-in-law.
At first, whether it was her mysterious demeanor or the hint of deliberate antagonism in her words, it hardly seemed like the way a four or five-year-old girl would act.
Fortunately, Liu Zixuan’s guidance made Luo Xi and the beautiful master feel that Qiqi had some childlike innocence typical of a four or five-year-old.
Upon arriving at Lingxiu Village, Luo Xi and the beautiful master gathered with Qiqi and other beautiful women, while Liu Zixuan called Zhao Yi and the others over to the clinic.
"Bro Zixuan, did you have any unexpected gains during this trip to the Seven-Star Tomb?" Huzi asked curiously.
Liu Zixuan smiled helplessly, "Other than picking up a little sister, there doesn’t seem to be much gain."
To be honest, he was troubled. In past trips to the Seven-Star Tomb, his realm or cultivation technique would often improve, or he would obtain some treasures, such as the Ghost Gate Needle.
For this trip to the Seven-Star Tomb, Liu Zixuan went with even greater expectations, especially since his true realm was sealed, starting anew at the peak of the Profound Realm, making him undoubtedly the weakest among his brothers!
He even hoped that after coming out of the Seven-Star Tomb, he could at least advance to the Imperial Realm.
Indeed, the bigger the hope, the greater the disappointment.
However, the feeling of loss in Liu Zixuan’s heart was not overwhelming. While Qiqi appeared extremely mysterious, he was convinced that heaven wouldn’t simply send him a little sister for no reason.
Moreover, the journey from Spirit Extinct Mountain up to now, though they encountered many enemies, went relatively smoothly. A martial artist having an overly smooth growth isn’t necessarily a good thing either.
Therefore, starting over isn’t necessarily a bad thing either!
"The reason I’ve called everyone here is to say a few things," said Liu Zixuan as he cleared his throat.
The brothers all looked over, their faces serious. If Liu Zixuan specifically gathered them, it might be a major event.
Huzi clenched his fist, "Is it a fight with someone?"
Liu Zixuan glared at him, "Is there nothing else in your mind besides fighting every day?"
"So what is it that you’ve called us together for, Bro Zixuan?" Zhao Yi asked.
"The Celestial Dao Alliance has been destroyed, but Yama Hall remains. Leaving aside the vendetta against them, just discussing such a force is enough reason not to let our guard down."
Liu Zixuan paused, looking at everyone, "You should be clear what kind of existence Yama Hall is. Their ambition is the World Martial Realm. If it were a genuinely good force, it could be overlooked for now, but their goal is merely personal gain, so we, as martial artists, must not overlook this."
"Concerned about the larger picture, concerned about our country, these are naturally sentiments we should all have. But Bro Zixuan, you know, the strength Yama Hall has shown absolutely isn’t something we can influence," Gu Yu said with a frown.
"That’s not possible now, but it doesn’t mean it won’t be in the future."
Liu Zixuan spread his hands and smiled, "This is what I’m thinking. After the battle at the Willow Association, wasn’t there mention of something happening on the summit of Yudu a hundred days later! I guess that should be a battle that shocks the World Martial Realm, and during this time, everyone shouldn’t stay here in Lingxiu Village. Go out and train yourselves; most are already Innate Emperor Realm. Try to improve your strength over these three months."
"You mean, a hundred days later, we go together?" Jiang Yunxuan raised an eyebrow, hesitating to speak, "And what about you?"
"You don’t need to worry about me; I won’t die anytime soon!" Liu Zixuan waved his hand.
"As for whether to go a hundred days later, that will be discussed then, but you can’t stop moving forward just because I’m hurt. If a hundred days later, Yama Hall wins the battle of Yudu, the martial realm will certainly be in ruins or stained with blood. Even if you don’t go a hundred days later, you’ll have to face it in the future!"
"What Bro Zixuan says makes sense. We always have to be prepared," Mo Chengfeng considered and then said, "How about this, you guys go out to train, and Gu Yu and I will gather information about the martial realm, and we’ll inform you promptly of any situations!"
Gu Yu continued, "That’s right, the Star Sea Martial Realm is peaceful now, so there won’t be any incidents. You can rest assured about Lingxiu Village."
Zhao Yi, Huzi, and others exchanged a glance, nodding in agreement.
Liu Zixuan lit a cigarette, took a couple of puffs, and smiled, "Also, it’s not just you guys going out, even the Shadow Guard and Thief Sect brothers should be sent out. Training is to advance together. Inform them shortly. If you need some elixir for defense, you can come to me anytime; the Relic Mini World has plenty of elixirs."
"And what about you, Bro Zixuan?" Jiang Yunxuan asked, looking up.
"I need to visit your place. You can decide whether to accompany me or go train alone," Liu Zixuan smiled.
"It’s been a while since I returned; I’ll go with you first and then head out from the family to train," Jiang Yunxuan grinned, "To be honest, I want to see some big scenes, as I don’t want to shame my father."
"Besides training, there’s something else you guys need to help me with."
Between words, Liu Zixuan’s expression became solemn: "Help me track down two things. Once you find any trace, immediately inform Gu Yu."
"Is it the Ghost Gate Needle and Seven-Star Tomb?" Gu Yu asked with a frown.
"That’s right. The Seven-Star Tomb, let’s put that aside for now, since only one remains that I haven’t visited yet. But it’s essential to help me find the Ghost Gate Needle. I believe if I can gather all thirteen Ghost Gate Needles, I can completely cure the poison of the Netherworld Palm," Liu Zixuan said.
There is indeed some logic to this.
The Holy Medical Scripture is the medical world’s sacred text, while the Ghost Gate Needle is the ultimate medical treasure. With these two items in hand, even if Liu Zixuan can’t completely cure it, he can extend life.
After all, the Holy Medical Scripture once recorded that gathering all thirteen Ghost Gate Needles could revive the dead.
This is an excellent opportunity, and Liu Zixuan does not want to miss it.
His thoughts are naturally understood by these brothers, who nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
Currently, he has visited six Seven-Star Tombs, and the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles have only two left to be found. Once he finds them all, Liu Zixuan is certain that as long as he is alive, he can use these to break through to the mysterious realm above the Emperor Realm!
"Alright, everyone get prepared. We’re all grown men; there’s no need to be overly sentimental. Once you’re ready, just set off directly. If all the timing is right, a hundred days later, at the summit of Yudu, we’ll meet again!"
With those words, Liu Zixuan took the lead walking toward the door. He should start packing to visit the Jiang Family...
