I am the villain, plundering the destiny of the heroine.

Chapter 224 31: Resurrect Li Xu and Accommodate the Power of Heaven [Please subscribe! ]

While the three of them were paying homage to Ji Weiming, in Ji Weiming's bedroom, Li Xu was watching them intently through the photo beads.

The image presented by the image bead was from the first-person perspective of Ji Weiming. She was seen sitting on the dragon throne in the Golden Palace, looking down at Jiang Mubai with her beautiful eyes, ignoring the other two Fenglei Sect leaders and the Vajra Temple abbot as if they were air, and spoke coldly:
"I didn't expect you to have the courage to come to the North."

What she said was also the biggest concern in Li Xu's heart.

As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Li Xu would never underestimate Jiang Mubai, his mortal enemy, and he would never treat him as a fool.

Knowing that the feud with Ji Weiming could not be resolved, he dared to take the risk in the North. He must have something he was proud of.

……

"I didn't expect you to have the courage to come to the North."

Hearing Ji Weiming say this to Jiang Mubai as if she was talking to an old friend, Zhongli and Du Nan were stunned at first, and then their eyes fell on Jiang Mubai with suspicion.

On the way to the Northern Territory, Jiang Mubai did not tell them that he knew Ji Weiming.

...Could this be the reason why Jiang Mubai was so confident that he could convince Ji Weiming to form an alliance?

Before Zhongli and Du could think too much, they saw Jiang Mubai remained calm and responded to Ji Wei's order:
"Once your majesty hears my purpose, he will certainly welcome me with open arms."

Ji Weiming was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I will only give you half a cup of tea."

"If you can't convince me after half a cup of tea, I will kill you!"

In fact, no matter what Jiang Mubai expressed to her, for Li Xu, he, Zhongli and Du Nan were all dead in Ji Weiming's eyes.

Before coming to the Golden Palace, Ji Weiming had already mobilized the northern army. Now, with just her order, the battle formation consisting of millions of troops would be formed immediately.

The reason why Ji Weiming was not in a hurry to take action now was because she wanted to understand clearly what Jiang Mubai relied on. Only by knowing both herself and the enemy could she kill him with one blow later.

"Half a cup of tea is enough time for me to convince His Majesty."

Jiang Mubai raised a light arc at the corner of his mouth and asked, "Your Majesty must have heard the news. Five days ago, there was a riot in the Imperial Capital. Emperor Yan died and Zhou Lingyu ascended the throne..."

At this point, Jiang Mubai paused deliberately, trying to use this as bait to guide Ji Weiming to continue the conversation. However, Ji Weiming always had a cold and uninterested attitude, which made Jiang Mubai smile awkwardly and continue to talk to himself:
"There is another piece of news that Your Majesty has definitely not heard of."

"That is - Emperor Yan died together with Li Xu!"

As soon as the words fell, the entire Golden Palace fell into deathly silence.

Zhongli and Du Nan both showed surprised expressions on their faces, not understanding what Jiang Mubai meant by suddenly mentioning Li Chunfeng's son?
The three high-ranking barbarian officers surrounding Ji Weiming had a subtle and strange look in their eyes. As the masterminds behind the fake scene of Li Xu's death, they knew the inside story better than anyone else...

...something's wrong!

Why did Ji Weiming not react at all when she heard the news of Li Xu's death? !
Seeing Ji Weiming still sitting on the dragon throne indifferent, Jiang Mubai suddenly had a bad premonition.

This is very abnormal!
Based on his understanding of Ji Weiming and Li Xu, the two had been married 20,000 years ago and loved each other deeply and depended on each other for life and death. When the Dharma Ending Age ended and spiritual energy revived, countless remnants of sects rushed to assassinate Li Xu, but all died at the hands of Ji Weiming.

Even he himself almost got killed by Ji Weiming because he attacked Li Xu in the long river of time. Moreover, she was pregnant now. How could she have no reaction to Li Xu's death? ?

……

……

"Hahaha! That's so funny!"

In the bedroom, a cheerful laughter as loud as a silver bell came from the soul ring on the ring finger of Li Xu's left hand.

"You bastard, I don't know if Ji Weiming's fake death news deceived Li Tianai and the others, but Jiang Mubai was definitely fooled!"

Li Xu also found it a bit absurd and funny when he heard it. He was pondering whether Jiang Mubai's confident trump card was related to his "death news" when he suddenly thought of something and was surprised.

"Whirring whirring!"

Since all the acupuncture points and spiritual power in his body were sealed by Ji Weiming, Li Xu couldn't even speak, and could only try to increase the rhythm of his breathing.

Su Xian'er had followed Li Xu for such a long time that she had developed a tacit understanding with him and immediately understood what Li Xu wanted to convey to her.

"Brat, don't expect me to help you unlock the seal on Ji Wei's life. My current condition is not much worse than yours." Su Xian'er said helplessly.

"I hadn't recovered well five days ago. After I lent my soul power to you and Emperor Yan, I was completely squeezed out. Now I can't do anything except linger on."

"Fortunately, that pervert Ji Weiming didn't know that I was hiding in the soul ring, otherwise she would have thrown me into some corner and sealed me, so that I would never appear in front of you."

Su Xian'er had obviously secretly watched the affectionate scenes between Ji Weiming and Li Xu, and had a deep understanding of Ji Weiming's degree of perversion. Jia Ziyin was filled with fear and relief.

Li Xu was unable to speak. Seeing that Su Xian'er could not help him out of the predicament, he was secretly feeling melancholy and disappointed. Suddenly, he heard Ji Weiming's voice coming from the Liuying Pearl.

"I really haven't received any news of Li Xu's death. Is your source of information true?"

In the Golden Palace, Ji Weiming broke the deathly silence around her and finally took the initiative to agree to Jiang Mubai's request.

...Sure enough! How important is Li Xu to Ji Wei's life? It's impossible for her to have no reaction!

It's just because she is too cunning and has never shown her emotions on her face, so she doesn't show what she is thinking on her face!

Jiang Mubai's heart was suddenly shaken, and his eyes quickly swept over Ji Weiming's noble and beautiful face, and indeed he saw a vague and inexplicable look on her face.

"Of course it's true!"

Jiang Mubai insisted: "I was also in Imperial Capital when Li Xu and Emperor Yan died together five days ago." "I don't know what trump card Li Chunfeng and Li Tianai gave to Li Xu. While delaying all of us clan leaders, they forced Li Xu to break into the palace and assassinate Emperor Yan. I wanted to stop them but it was too late."

...Do you want to blame Jiuri's death on Li Tianai and others, and then make me form an alliance with the major sects on the grounds of revenge?

Ji Weiming probably understood why Jiang Mubai dared to come to the Northern Territory. While she was amused, her beautiful eyes flickered with murderous intent. She felt that there was no need to continue testing Jiang Mubai, and was about to lead the battle formation to formally attack him -

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be sad. Although Li Xu was killed by Li Tianai and others, I have a way to revive him!"

Jiang Mubai regarded the murderous intent flashing in Ji Weiming's beautiful eyes as a manifestation of her anger at learning of Li Xu's death. While silently admiring her scheming, he spoke frankly:
"I am the only one in the world who can help Li Xu to be resurrected. I also believe that Your Majesty will never miss the opportunity to resurrect Li Xu. This is why I came to the North today!"

"??"

In the bedroom, even though Li Xu's acupuncture points were sealed and his ability to move was restricted, it did not affect the question mark that appeared on his forehead.

He originally thought that Jiang Mubai had obtained some powerful weapon, such as an immortal weapon similar to the Daluo Sword, so he had the courage to come to the Northern Territory. He did not expect that his confidence was actually to resurrect himself!

It’s just like Su Xianer joked just now, you are the first person to be fooled by the news of my death, right?
The news of my death was forged by Ji Weiming herself. How could she not know whether I need to be resurrected?
You want to use this reason to trick Ji Wei into forming an alliance with you? You are really looking for death by sleeping on the floor next to a cesspool!
……

"Oh?"

In the Golden Throne Hall, Ji Weiming raised her eyebrows, slightly restrained the murderous intent in her beautiful eyes, and asked in surprise: "Do you have any way to revive Li Xu?"

...I knew you couldn't resist the temptation to resurrect Li Xu!

Seeing that the situation was developing perfectly in the direction he expected, Jiang Mubai's lips curled up more and more confidently, believing that Ji Wei's life was completely in his hands, and asked instead of answering:

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the Heavenly Dao Law that you and Li Xu completed 20,000 years ago?"

On the other side, Zhongli and Du Nan became more and more suspicious as they listened. Whether it was Jiang Mubai's condition to Ji Weiming of resurrecting Li Xu, or his sudden change of subject to talk about the laws of nature, all of them were beyond their comprehension.

But the situation was special at the moment, so no matter how many doubts they had, they could only keep them in their hearts and stand quietly behind Jiang Mubai, acting as his bodyguards to strengthen his morale.

"You want to use the laws of heaven to resurrect Jiu Ri?"

Ji Weiming was so intelligent that she could see through Jiang Mubai's implication after just a little thought.

"That's right!"

Jiang Mubai admitted it frankly, not afraid that Zhongli and Du Nan behind him would know his biggest secret:
"Twenty thousand years ago, the reason why your majesty and Li Xu were able to collect most of the fragments of the Heavenly Dao was certainly due to your majesty's wisdom and bravery, but it was also inseparable from the assistance of the then Heavenly God Palace Master."

Ji Weiming frowned, not liking Jiang Mubai's blatant flattery.

Twenty thousand years ago, due to the arrival of the Dharma Ending Age, Ji Weiming lost her all-powerful cultivation and became an ordinary person. She could only play the role of a good wife to Li Xu, providing assistance to Li Xu in military and government affairs. However, she could only do limited help to Li Xu in collecting the fragments of the Heavenly Dao, and was even far less capable than Ning Mo, the then master of the Heavenly Temple.

Since ancient times, the Temple of the Gods has shouldered the responsibility of protecting the Way of Heaven. Twenty thousand years ago, when the laws of the Way of Heaven were broken, Ning Mo felt extremely regretful for his dereliction of duty, and immediately led the disciples of the Temple of the Gods to search the world for the fragments of the Way of Heaven, in an attempt to save this world-destroying catastrophe.

However, Ning Mo, like other cultivators, also lost his cultivation due to the coming of the Dharma Ending Age, and his power was very limited. After searching for several years, he could not find even a single fragment of the Heavenly Dao. At this time, he heard about Li Xu's heroic feat of establishing a unified dynasty to save the people. With no other options, he went to Li Xu for help in the hope of getting away with it, and told him that only by collecting all the scattered fragments of the Heavenly Dao could this world-destroying catastrophe be completely resolved.

Thanks to the Temple of the Gods' ancient duty of guarding the Heavenly Dao, Ning Mo has an extremely good understanding of the laws of the Heavenly Dao and knows the peculiarities and shortcomings of each piece of the Heavenly Dao fragment. It is with his dedicated assistance and guidance that Li Xu was able to gather most of the Heavenly Dao fragments without any danger, and ultimately complete an incomplete version of the Heavenly Dao based on the missing fragments of the laws of good, evil, time and space.

It is worth mentioning that after successfully resolving the world-destroying catastrophe, Li Xu and Ji Weiming handed over the unified dynasty they had established to Ning Mo before returning to the modern era. The incomplete version of the Heavenly Dao completed by Li Xu was also continued to be guarded by the people of the Temple of the Gods.

……

……

"I didn't know much about the Way of Heaven."

Jiang Mubai continued to tell Ji Weiming: "But thanks to your majesty, I left the long river of time ahead of time, which resulted in my time node being twenty years earlier than your majesty. By chance, I became the master of the Heavenly God Temple and read all the secret histories related to the Heavenly Dao that the Heavenly God Temple had ever recorded."

Ji Weiming's face gradually became solemn. As a person who had personally experienced the world-destroying catastrophe, she understood the power of the laws of heaven better than anyone else. She also knew how dangerous it would be if the laws of heaven were guarded by people like Jiang Mubai!

"Can you control the power of Heaven to resurrect Li Xu?"

Ji Weiming simply took advantage of the situation and probed Jiang Mubai further.

"Not yet."

Jiang Mubai shook his head: "Although after 20,000 years of corrosion, the incomplete version of the Heavenly Dao that Your Majesty and Li Xu completed at the beginning now shows signs of collapse and shattering, but my personal strength is far from enough to pry it open, unless - I can get help from Your Majesty."

Ji Weiming seemed to be thinking about something. After a brief silence, she asked again, "With my help, can you control the power of heaven?"

Jiang Mubai shook his head again: "It's not me who is in control, but you, Your Majesty, are in control."

"According to what I know from the secret history recorded in the Heavenly Palace, if one wants to contain the power of Heaven, one must simultaneously practice the Great Luo Spacetime Method, Shocking Heaven and Charming Earth Method, Thousand Miles of Ice, Burning Fire Method, and Six Heaven-Swallowing Method derived from the five Heavenly Dao fragments."

"Unfortunately, I have only acquired three heavenly-level skills, namely, the Heaven-shaking and Earth-enchanting Skill, the Six Paths of Devouring the Heavens Skill, and the Fire-burning Skill, so far. I cannot meet the requirements to contain the power of the Heavenly Dao."

"Your Majesty is different. I have had the honor of fighting with Your Majesty in the long river of time. I know that Your Majesty has mastered all five heavenly-level skills without missing a single one. He is the only perfect person in the world who can contain the power of the Heavenly Dao!"

Ji Weiming seemed to sense some kind of lie, and said in a cold tone: "I don't believe you are so generous. Accommodating the power of the Heavenly Dao must hide risks that I cannot afford."

Jiang Mubai's expression froze, and he hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. I can swear to Your Majesty that I have absolutely no intention of doing anything bad to Your Majesty!"

"The main reason is that I have no choice but to be generous. The power of Heaven must and can only be contained by cultivators who have mastered five kinds of Heaven-level skills. Apart from Your Majesty, no one else can meet this condition."

"Furthermore, with the death of Emperor Yan, Li Chunfeng officially declared war on all the major sects. Our sect alliance will sooner or later be defeated by Li Chunfeng. We have no choice but to ask Your Majesty for help."
