Chapter 1067 407: Is There a Way to Have It Both Ways?
Returning to Good Luck Slope again, the courtyard had changed quite a bit. The flowers and plants inside were vibrant and thriving, much more beautiful and tidy than when Li Xiu last visited, resembling a serene, garden-like courtyard.
The gate was not locked, and Li Xiu pushed it open easily. Standing inside the courtyard, he did not see Tang Tianzhen's body.
"Second brother." Li Xiu called several times towards the house that once held Eighth Lord, Wan Chaocun, and Tang Tianzhen, but no one answered his call.
Li Xiu frowned slightly and intended to push open the door of the room where Tang Tianzhen was previously held. However, he suddenly noticed a line of small characters lightly carved on the wooden door.
"From where you came, to where you go, everyone has their own path in life. Meeting is not as good as not meeting... Tang Tianzhen..." Li Xiu softly read out the words on the door and put down his hand that was about to push it.
Clearly, these words were left for him by Tang Tianzhen, indicating that Tang Tianzhen had anticipated his arrival. Now Li Xiu could deduce that it was very likely Tang Tianzhen who left a drop of blood in the Spirit Suppressing Stone, causing the birth of the Four Great Evil Spirits.
Li Xiu's expression turned somewhat grim. How could a being that even the Sixteen Ancestral Spirits combined couldn't touch be casually imprisoned by his sister?
Now Li Xiu began to suspect that Tang Tianzhen being imprisoned by his sister was part of his plan, and he was intentionally getting close to her.
"Why does he want to get close to my sister? What are his intentions? Did he have a part in the president's plot against my sister?" Li Xiu's expression grew increasingly composed.
At such moments, Li Xiu forced himself to remain calm, as facing such an opponent left no room for mistake.
Tang Tianzhen might be an existence even more terrifying than the president. Although the president is powerful, he is rejected by the world, and thus his perception is weak, leaving him with less capability to act, relying mostly on intellect and strength to execute plans.
Yet Tang Tianzhen was different. His intellect might not be inferior to the president's, and he did not seem to be rejected by the world. Moreover, he has the ability to influence the Spirit Suppressing Stone, spawning the Four Great Evil Spirits, which is indeed frightening.
Additionally, he possesses unimaginable endurance. Despite having such great power, he willingly allowed himself to be imprisoned at Good Luck Slope for decades. Such endurance is simply inhuman.
Li Xiu's mind raced, "What exactly is the relationship between Tang Tianzhen and the president? Are they adversaries or collaborators?"
Based on various indications, it's more likely that Tang Tianzhen and the president are in a cooperative relationship.
The president's perception is not strong, yet he can precisely track my sister's movements and schemes. This may not be his ability alone, and Tang Tianzhen may have played an important role in this.
"It seems my opponent is not just the president anymore." Li Xiu took a deep look at the line of words on the door, then turned and left without delay.
Returning to the Eternal Heaven, the president still didn't appear to see him, indicating that he probably wouldn't disturb Li Xiu again before he ascends to be Unparalleled.
Li Xiu entered the Land of Trial again and began to hunt the Divine Position Demon Spirits frantically across various trial sites to seize all sorts of resources.
He fed all the Demon Cores to Demigod Shana and the Jedi Knight. Before long, Demigod Shana had ascended to the Divine Position Level.
Mere Divine Position Level was not enough, so Li Xiu continued to feed them Demon Cores.
Demon Spirits are different from humans. Humans need to comprehend the Light of Truth themselves, while Demon Spirits rely more on their bloodline heritage. As long as a Demon Spirit's bloodline heritage is strong enough, its Light of Truth will continuously strengthen until reaching the limit of their bloodline heritage.
Demigod Shana of radiant quality undoubtedly has very strong bloodline heritage. Coupled with the evil spirit attached to him, his achievement is certainly the peak of Divine Position, possibly even having a chance of reaching Unparalleled.
But achieving Unparalleled is inherently difficult. Besides the innately Unparalleled Sixteen Ancestral Spirits and Four Great Evil Spirits, Li Xiu hasn't yet known any others who have successfully become Unparalleled postnatally.
Perhaps there are, but Li Xiu has not seen them.
Actually, there is a simpler route: slay Unparalleled Demon Spirits, possibly acquiring their power and ascending to Unparalleled like ascending to Divine Position.
However, for Li Xiu, that road is quite difficult. The Sixteen Ancestral Spirits are on his side, and he can't exactly go and kill them. As for the Four Great Evil Spirits, Li Xiu is also not confident he can kill them, so he let go of that thought.
The drop rate for Divine Position Gemstones is indeed low. Li Xiu killed hundreds of Divine Position Demon Spirits and only acquired two Divine Position Gemstones. However, he did manage to collect plenty of Talent Gemstones and Skill Rings, along with three Demon Spirit Rings.
Now Li Xiu could be considered invincible beneath Unparalleled, and slaying Divine Position Level Demon Spirits posed no problem.
Li Xiu handed two Divine Position Gemstones to Wan Chaocun and quickly received the first batch of gemstones, most of which were Rubies.
In his room, Li Xiu opened a row of small boxes, all filled with Top-Grade Rubies. Each Ruby weighed over three carats, showing almost no inclusions visible to the naked eye. According to broader standards, these could be classified as the minimum standard of pigeon blood red.
The box with the best-quality Rubies, although not numerous, contained pieces each over ten carats, with equally impressive quality. The rich, vivid red appeared like blood illuminated by fluorescence.
