Chapter 171: Revelation of the Heavenly Secrets
"I have already dealt with Su Changde’s matter. Jing’an City is not as I saw along the way, which means you all harbor kind thoughts and have not committed any evil deeds."
"However, those who suffered from the harm of Su Changde and his men still need your assistance to be properly resettled."
Li Tianwei clasped his hands behind his back and spoke to Fei Xuzi and the others before him.
"First Seat Li, please give your orders. We shall do our utmost. Moreover, we cultivators pursue immortality to save the world and its people—this falls within our duty."
Fei Xuzi bowed respectfully.
"Good. Since that’s the case, I won’t say much more. In my banner, there are still millions of people who have suffered misfortune and need a bit of land to be resettled."
Li Tianwei waved the soul banner in his hand as he spoke.
Fei Xuzi and the others involuntarily shrank their heads at his gesture. They had seen with their own eyes how Li Tianwei had just used that very banner to easily capture Su Qianhe. Now, with another casual wave, how could they not feel fear?
"First Seat Li, the land is no problem. Jing’an City can also be expanded. We will definitely arrange good dwellings for these people."
Fei Xuzi wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead as he replied.
"Since that’s the case, then let’s begin!"
Seeing Fei Xuzi nod repeatedly, Li Tianwei didn’t waste more words. After all, he was a good man, and settling millions of people was a major task. Naturally, he had to consult the local authorities first.
Of course, if they refused, Li Tianwei wouldn’t force them.
Li Tianwei was not someone who would “force” others.
"We’ll make arrangements immediately. Everything will be properly handled!"
Fei Xuzi and the others nodded rapidly.
……
Sacred Land of Lingxu.
With Su Qianhe’s death, in the Main Hall of the Sacred Land’s Main Peak, a single lamp flickered gently a few times before slowly extinguishing.
The disciple in charge of watching over the soul lamps in the hall was suddenly startled—especially when he saw the name inscribed upon that lamp.
"Not good! A Patriarch’s soul lamp has gone out!"
The disciple couldn’t help but cry out.
The moment his voice fell, several figures appeared in the hall.
They exchanged glances, and their eyes all turned toward the extinguished soul lamp.
"Su Qianhe? Didn’t he just leave seclusion? How could something have happened so soon?"
The Sacred Lord of Lingxu looked puzzled, his expression growing increasingly grave.
"Was it the work of the Three Sacred Lands… or the Evil Demons?"
To lose a cultivator at the Union Realm for no reason—this was a loss even the Sacred Land of Lingxu could not afford.
Within the entire Sacred Land, aside from the few Ancestors in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, there were only a little more than twenty at the Union Realm. The loss of such a high-level combatant could easily shake the entire foundation.
Across the Four Sacred Lands, the number of Union Realm experts barely reached a hundred. The loss of even one could tip the balance of power.
"Elder Dongyuan, I ask you to divine the Heavenly Secrets—see who was responsible for Elder Su’s death."
The Sacred Lord of Lingxu spoke respectfully to an elderly man beside him, who was dressed in purple robes and held a horsetail whisk.
"Very well."
Dongyuan nodded deeply. With a flick of his whisk, he began chanting an incantation, his other hand rapidly pinching his fingers in calculation.
Seeing Dongyuan’s actions, the Sacred Lord already had an idea of the outcome.
To strike down a Union Realm cultivator without a trace, the attacker must have been fully prepared—no evidence would remain.
Moreover, Dongyuan was only performing a brief divination without the use of supporting artifacts or resources. Though Dongyuan held supreme authority in the art of deduction, doing it without proper tools meant he did not intend to take the matter seriously.
After all, Dongyuan’s relationship with Su Qianhe had never been good.
Indeed, that was exactly what Dongyuan was thinking. He had no intention of truly uncovering who killed Su Qianhe.
But as his calculations proceeded, countless threads of cause and effect began surfacing before his eyes.
And then that familiar feeling came again.
Dongyuan knew that feeling well—he had sensed it once before, when he had calculated another man’s fate.
That person’s Heavenly Secrets and karmic ties had not been concealed at all; they were completely open, without any resistance—boldly displayed for all to see, utterly unafraid of being divined.
It had been dazzling—so dazzling that since Dongyuan began cultivating the art of Heavenly Divination, it was the first time he had ever encountered someone so unguarded.
And now, Dongyuan once again felt that same familiar sensation!
It was the same as the first person he had ever calculated—someone who revealed himself within the Heavenly Secrets so starkly that ignoring him was as impossible as hiding from the sun.
"Li Tianwei."
That name surfaced in Dongyuan’s mind.
"Impossible… could it really be him?"
Dongyuan forced himself to continue calculating, only to discover that the greatest obstruction he faced came not from others, but from the prohibitions Su Qianhe himself had left behind before death.
However, since Su Qianhe was now dead, most of those restraints had dissipated.
As a result, it didn’t take long for Dongyuan to glimpse the truth.
Scene after scene that had occurred in Jing’an City began unfolding before him.
Cold sweat streamed from Dongyuan’s forehead, and his usually calm expression grew increasingly astonished.
Seeing Dongyuan’s state, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu thought he was suffering backlash and his own face darkened.
"It seems… something unfathomable has set its sights upon our Sacred Land."
The Sacred Lord sighed deeply. Just as he was about to order Dongyuan to stop before harm befell him—
Dongyuan suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking toward the Sacred Lord with grave seriousness.
"Sacred Lord, I have the result."
Dongyuan’s expression was utterly solemn.
The Sacred Lord, who had been ready to stop him, brightened with hope and said joyfully,
"Good."
The Sacred Lord had grown accustomed to expressing satisfaction with that single word “good,” and now he could not restrain himself.
Dongyuan’s expression twitched slightly at that, and he sighed. With a wave of his hand, he said,
"Sacred Lord, regarding Su Qianhe’s matter… you should see for yourself."
As a cultivator of the Union Realm, Dongyuan’s body and soul were one, and his divine soul could easily project the images he had seen through divination.
At the same time, when Dongyuan revealed his findings—
In the Sacred Land of Baiyuan, the same thing was happening. After their failed attempt to ambush Li Tianwei, the Three Sacred Lands also sought answers.
But unlike Lingxu, they dispatched four masters of the art of Heavenly Divination, all at the Union Realm, and prepared an abundance of materials to ensure an accurate deduction.
Thus, the scenes of Li Tianwei annihilating the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood, Yun Danzhi, and the others were all projected vividly before them.
Naturally, none of the Three Sacred Lands had expected it to be so effortless—despite the vast resources consumed, there was not the slightest obstruction.
The result appeared before all their gathered powerhouses—open, unguarded, and utterly unhidden.
