Chapter 4700
“Huo Qing? What’s his level of strength?”
Kai needed to assess his opponent first.
If the man was already in the Immortal Realm, then Kai would have to find a way to stay hidden.
“His strength is about the same as mine,” Yun Li replied. “But he’s extremely cunning and has a dark, ruthless nature. This killing order is his way of killing two birds with one stone.”
“Once word spreads, countless cultivators will come after you for 100,000 immortal spirit stones, saving him the trouble of acting personally.”
“And when they kill you, they’ll go straight to the Ten Palaces to claim their reward. But my father can’t possibly hand over 100,000 immortal spirit stones.”
“That would leave my father in an impossible position, damaging his credibility. Meanwhile, Huo Qing gets exactly what he wants—humiliating my father while eliminating you.”
Yun Li’s disdain for Huo Qing was evident in his voice.
“He’s only at the peak of the Ninth Grade of the Mahayana Realm. Can’t he just be crippled or expelled from the Ten Palaces?”
“A mere Mahayana cultivator daring to scheme against the Palace Master? It sounds like your Ten Palaces aren’t as powerful as I thought.”
Kai was surprised that someone at Huo Qing’s level could openly challenge the leader of the Ten Palaces.
“You don’t understand. Huo Qing has powerful backing—his time in the Ten Palaces is just a stepping stone.”
Yun Li sighed.
“A political connection?”
Kai scoffed. He hadn’t expected even the Heavenly Realm to have its own version of nepotism.
That kind of favoritism was rampant in the secular world—every department had its share of people who climbed the ranks based on connections rather than merit.
“So, what’s your plan?” Yun Li asked. “I can’t reveal myself before the Heaven Ascension Ladder appears, so I won’t be able to help you.”
“If enemies come, I’ll fight them. If obstacles arise, I’ll crush them. If someone wants to die, I’ll gladly grant their wish,” Kai said calmly.
“In my world, connections mean nothing.”
“If Huo Qing dares to show up, I hope you kill him.”
“That way, he won’t be able to stir up trouble for my father anymore.”
Yun Li’s tone carried a trace of cold intent.
“Are you begging me?” Kai asked with a smirk.
“Yes, I know your rules. I can offer you something in return.”
Yun Li replied, pulling out a scroll and handing it to Kai.
“What is this? If it’s another piece of treasured armor, I don’t want it. It’s useless to me.”
Kai took the scroll and examined it.
“This is the Body Refining Scroll of our God Clan. Unlike ordinary humans, our physical bodies aren’t fragile—we’ve spent generations refining them.”
“Your cultivation realm is advancing rapidly, and you can fight across levels, but you do have a weakness.”
“The speed of your body refinement can no longer keep up with your cultivation.”
“You must understand—at higher realms, many techniques require a strong physique as a foundation. The stronger your body, the more powerful your techniques will become.”
“With this scroll, you’ll have access to the God Clan’s body refinement techniques. It may prove useful to you.”
Yun Li explained.
Kai nodded. He had to admit Yun Li had a point—his physical refinement had been lagging behind his cultivation speed. He could already feel the gap widening.
“You’re giving me a God Clan technique. Isn’t that considered betrayal?”
Kai asked, raising an eyebrow.
“I am no longer part of the God Clan, so what is there to betray?” Yun Li smiled.
“In truth, I’ve long realized that this ‘God Clan’ of ours is just another branch of the human race. There are no real gods in this world…”
Kai looked at Yun Li in surprise. He hadn’t expected him to see things so clearly.
He unrolled the scroll—suddenly, a brilliant white light shot out, surging into his forehead!
Boom!
Instantly, a flood of knowledge poured into Kai’s sea of consciousness!
The God Clan’s Body Refining Scroll was indeed extraordinary—its techniques far surpassed those of the ancient body-refining clans!
