Chapter 501 The person I'm waiting for isn't you~
Unable to understand, Li Muyang checked the core of this secret realm several times, and even had the Shennong Beast examine it, but he still couldn't sense any problems.
The Heavenly Court is the stronghold of the Jade Emperor, how could he possibly give it to Li Muyang for no reason? Who would believe there wasn't some other reason behind it!
Unable to understand, Li Muyang had no choice but to go about his own business. After setting up the isolation barrier, he quietly waited at the South Heavenly Gate for a while.
Let's see if anyone comes back?
Sure enough, Li Muyang didn't wait in vain; a short while later, someone returned.
However, the person who arrived was beyond Li Muyang's expectations.
"Mr. Li." The First Emperor approached Li Muyang with a smile: "There were too many people just now. If my behavior offended you in any way, please forgive me."
Looking at the First Emperor before him, whose appearance was exactly the same as Ying Zheng he knew, yet whose aura was extremely powerful, Li Muyang was filled with mixed emotions. After a sigh, he asked the First Emperor, "I have a question, and I wonder if the First Emperor could answer it for me?"
Ying Zheng smiled faintly and said, "Please speak freely, sir."
"Whose pseudonym are you?" Li Muyang asked with a complicated expression.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this question, the First Emperor laughed loudly, then, with a mocking smile, quipped, "Mr. Li, you've already decided that I'm just an imposter among the many gods and Buddhas in the heavens?"
Now it was Li Muyang's turn to be shocked: "No?!"
The First Emperor's smile gradually turned arrogant and domineering: "I am who I am! I am the First Emperor of the Chinese nation! The First Emperor of all time! How could I be anyone's pseudonym?"
Li Muyang fell silent for a moment, then gave a self-deprecating laugh and bowed to Ying Zheng in apology: "I apologize, Your Majesty, I was too attached to appearances!"
Li Muyang often sees all sorts of fake accounts and sockpuppet accounts, making everyone seem like a fake account to him now. If someone is even slightly above average, he immediately thinks they are a god and starts guessing who is behind them.
Now the First Emperor has taught him a lesson; he was too concerned about the people behind the scenes.
Perhaps sometimes it's not as complicated as you think.
"So, His Majesty's return means..." Li Muyang didn't dwell on his own thoughts and changed the subject to ask.
The First Emperor smiled calmly and said, "It's nothing. Didn't you want to pass down the Enlightenment Stele, sir? I'd like to reserve one for the Great Qin!"
The so-called Enlightenment Stele cannot be made from just any stone; the normal procedure requires the passage of the Heavenly Dao.
The reason why Li Muyang did not create the Enlightenment Stone Tablet in the main world is, of course, because... his cultivation level was not high enough.
The upper limit of the main world is too high; Li Muyang's cultivation level is simply not high enough! To create an Enlightenment Stone Tablet, the main world needs at least the level of a Celestial Immortal.
In this world, the upper limit has just broken through to the Immortal Realm, and Li Muyang's current cultivation level is just right!
Furthermore, the Heavenly Dao of the martial arts world is now also influenced by Li Muyang, so creating the Enlightenment Stone Tablet is not too difficult for Li Muyang.
At the very least, he should be able to create multiple blocks.
Li Muyang estimated that with his current level of cultivation, he could probably create three pieces.
It's not that we can't create more, but rather that the effect of each individual piece will weaken with each additional one. These Dao steles that replicate the power of the Great Dao's rules have unique characteristics, and having too many will affect their individual quality.
Li Muyang's Dao-transmitting stele is definitely not for charity. Besides helping all beings in the martial arts world comprehend the purification rules, it is also for collecting karma. In addition to the grace of transmitting the Dao, it is also to increase his own understanding of the Dao of Purification. Different people will inevitably have different understandings of the Dao of Purification. He is now beginning to collect the same Dao in the eyes of different people.
Learn by analogy, extract the essence and discard the dross.
After stating his purpose, the First Emperor immediately offered his price: "Of course, this stele will not be given to the Qin Dynasty for free. I suppose you will reserve a piece for the Qian Dynasty? So, what are your conditions?"
Li Muyang stroked his chin, pondered for a long time, opened his mouth and said, "This... I really haven't thought about it."
The First Emperor was taken aback, then smiled knowingly. He understood what Li Muyang meant; to put it bluntly, he just didn't know what he could find appealing.
"Very well, we can keep this favor for now and use it when the gentleman needs it someday," Zheng Ge said with a faint smile.
“Alright.” Li Muyang nodded: “I’ll have the Heavenly Dao throw the Dao Stele directly into the Great Qin… Where does Your Majesty plan to place it?”
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment: "...Mount Li."
Li Muyang stared at the First Emperor with a strange look. "Are you trying to get players to dance on your grave? This thing will definitely attract a bunch of players to try to understand it. Then a group of people will sit in meditation and comprehend the Dao at Mount Li, with a stone tablet erected on top."
Those who know understand that it's enlightenment, while those who don't might mistake it for prayer!
"Haha!" Ying Zheng naturally saw through Li Muyang's thoughts and smiled indifferently: "I have considered this when I settled him at Mount Li. Just send him there, sir."
Li Muyang could only shrug at this. The First Emperor must have his reasons for doing this, so he decided to leave it to himself.
After finishing this matter, Zheng Ge exchanged a few pleasantries with Li Muyang before turning and leaving. He also had many things to do, including preparing to break through to the Immortal Realm and arranging matters related to the Dao Stele, which was an effective means of restraining the destruction of living beings!
The Purification Dao is specifically targeted by the Destructive Consciousness of the Heavenly Dao. It is a part of the knowledge that the world has lost. If Li Muyang hadn't brought it from another world, this world would probably have been unable to re-coalesce. This is why this power is so precious.
After seeing off the First Emperor, Li Muyang continued to focus on communicating with the Heavenly Dao and creating the Enlightenment Stone Tablet. The reason he did not leave the Heavenly Court was naturally because it was easier to communicate with the Heavenly Dao here. Besides, the person he was waiting for was not the First Emperor!
No sooner had the First Emperor left than Emperor Taizong of Tang appeared, and his purpose was similar to that of Emperor Zhengde: to obtain the Dao stele.
Li Muyang naturally agreed. If not the Tang Dynasty, where else could they give it? The remaining few places were unreliable! Giving them would be pointless!
Similarly, Emperor Taizong of Tang also expressed that he owed Li Muyang a favor and could ask for it back at any time.
"Haha! Sir, you truly are a compassionate healer!" Li Shiming exclaimed, then added meaningfully, "To be honest, when we first met, I was quite taken aback by your aura. You might not believe it, but your bloodline is actually derived from mine..."
"...Yes, of course it's the main source world! No wonder I feel a sense of closeness with you, sir!"
"What?" Li Muyang's eyes widened in surprise as he pointed to himself and Emperor Taizong of Tang. His bloodline actually came from the Tang Dynasty? He had never realized that!
Just then, Yuan Shoucheng also appeared: "Old turtle, you have a thick skin! How can you say such a thing! Mr. Li does have the blood of the Tang Dynasty, but on the land of China, countless bloodlines have merged. Besides, you all have the surname Li, is it strange that he has your bloodline?"
Li Shiming blushed, but still stubbornly spouted nonsense with a straight face: "Insolence! Supervisor Yuan! Make your current identity and position clear! I am the emperor! You are merely my subject! How dare you deceive the emperor and commit treason!"
Yuan Shoucheng looked disgusted: "Ah, yes, yes, yes! My dear Emperor Tang! Please forgive my offense!"
"You should at least show some sincerity..." Li Shiming muttered unhappily, but he didn't bother to stay any longer; he was too ashamed! He could still put on a show of power with Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, but he really couldn't do anything about Yuan Shoucheng, who was actually a disguise for the Jade Emperor.
After all, nominally, Haotian is his superior. Among the Six Emperors of Heaven, Haotian is still the master; Haotian is the true God of Heaven.
In public, Yuan Shoucheng would give Li Shiming face, but respect is mutual. If Emperor Taizong of Tang dared to push his luck, then Yuan Shoucheng would not give him any face.
There's nothing we can do about him anyway, so it's best not to break off this relationship, otherwise it will be awkward for both of us.
With the others gone, Yuan Shoucheng dropped the expression he had used to deceive Li Shiming, and looked at the South Heavenly Gate with a complicated expression. After observing it carefully for a long time, he finally sighed, "Sigh..."
"Your Majesty, get to the point. I'm in a hurry and don't have much free time. There are still three Daoist tablets to deal with," Li Muyang said expressionlessly. He didn't have time for sentimentality.
Yuan Shoucheng, who was still reminiscing about his past glories, twitched his lips speechlessly and teased Li Muyang, "Sir, you'll easily lose all your friends if you play like this!"
“Alright, let’s not waste your time, sir. I’ll get straight to the point.” Yuan Shoucheng changed the subject again, and said to Li Muyang with a serious expression, “Sir, do you know what I’m worried about?”
Li Muyang was completely confused. What happened?
"You should also know that I am the legendary Heavenly God, so I am actually the Heavenly Dao!" Yuan Shoucheng's face was extremely ugly: "These worlds were not gradually merged together, but were forcibly merged together by someone unknown, which has resulted in the Heavenly Dao being a complete mess!"
"At a time like this, what do you think I would do if I returned to Heaven and became the God of Heaven again?"
“You will be forced to join the battle for the Heavenly Dao.” Li Muyang understood what Yuan Shoucheng meant. He was Haotian, and if he returned to the Heavenly Court, he would be restored to his original position, which meant he would belong to the Heavenly Emperor. At that time, Yuan Shoucheng might be affected by the Heavenly Dao.
You must know that there is still a part of the Heavenly Dao that is destroying the Heavenly Dao!
Li Muyang raised an eyebrow and asked, "That Dao Ancestor?"
"?" Yuan Shoucheng looked puzzled.
Li Muyang was also completely bewildered: "What? Why am I muted again? I can't even speak here? No! Is it that I can't speak? What's going on?"
Yuan Shoucheng coughed lightly: "Ahem, sir, if I'm not mistaken, the Dao Ancestor you mentioned should be a character from the Investiture of the Gods novel, which only appeared in the Ming Dynasty, right?"
"I'm really sorry, but in our world, the Heavenly Emperor is someone who has merged with the Dao, and I am the second-generation spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao. The first generation was the Supreme Heavenly Emperor."
