Open the door, fellow countryman, we are one.

Chapter 41 Something Beyond the Destiny of This Era

Li Yi made a decision, and the late-stage and peak-level divine cultivators chose to leave the holy mountain, go to the burial ground, and find a barren place to sleep.

They still have a long lifespan, so they can just sleep until the Taoist priest dies of old age, and then come out to stir up trouble.

Only the early and middle stage divine cultivators were left. They were asked to continue gathering information, while Li Yi stayed alone in the Taiping Palace.

When he was the only one left, he spoke: "Corpse King, Spirit Queen, shouldn't we be honest with each other?"

"What do you mean?" The voice of the Corpse King sounded.

"Give me the throne of Corpse Emperor. I feel the destiny." Li Yi said bluntly, "With the destiny, I can practice faster and draw on more power. This is equivalent to weakening your power."

"I have high hopes for you. You are qualified to become the Corpse King." said the Corpse King.

"If you do so, then I will abandon the Holy Mountain and find a place to hide." Li Yi said coldly.

If he had not sensed the existence of destiny, he would have really believed the Corpse King's lies.

How could I give him such an important thing for nothing?
But they still need to escape from the predicament, so they need the blessing of destiny and to practice new methods.

Without the Mandate of Heaven, the day they break the seal will be extended.

The monks who stayed behind did not leave the Taoist temple. They were not really following him, and they were probably trying to monitor him.

Another point is that after being blessed with the destiny, he actually had a vague connection with all the divine cultivators in the Burial Land.

No matter where they are, as long as they are in the burial ground, I can sense them.

The Corpse King fell silent.

"You actually know the destiny?" The Queen of Spirits' voice rang out, "If that's the case, then speak frankly. You have no other choice now. Even if you leave, the Taoist of Taiping will not let you go."

"Since I've stayed, I haven't thought about living." Li Yi sneered, "But I can choose this way of dying. As long as I and the Taoist of Taiping set up a trap, how can the cultivators of the Divine Object of the Burial Ground survive?"

"Will Taoist Taiping believe you?" the Corpse King sneered.

"Do you dare to bet?" Li Yi asked back.

The Corpse King and the Spirit Queen were silent for a long time. The Corpse King said, "I knew it the moment Xuanmie died."

As the Corpse King, he can feel Xuanmie disappear.

“When you climbed the Holy Mountain, we could have captured you, but we were in urgent need of strength, so we left you behind.

Your performance truly surprises this Queen. It won't be long before this Queen and the Corpse King are able to break this seal."

The Queen's voice rang out, "We are indeed grateful to you for this, but we have also developed a method for you, haven't we? Unruly Jade Corpse."

"I need detailed information about Tianming." Li Yi said.

"Is it possible for you to turn the tables now? It is destiny that has come to you. Taoist Taiping will not let you go no matter what, even if you choose his side." said the Corpse King.

"This is my business." Li Yi said coldly.

There is no hope in this life, but he still has the next life. He never thought about success in this life.

"I and the Empress Dowager had been sleeping for many years, and our graves were dug up by the old monk from the mosque. It was then that I sensed the destiny.

It was at the top of this holy mountain, but the destiny was shattered by a mysterious force, and scattered into many parts, scattered all over the place..."

The old Zen monk got one piece, the Corpse King and the Spirit Queen each got one piece, and the demon clan and the Tang Kingdom also had a destiny.

The Taoist priest of the Taiping Sect should have gotten the biggest piece.

"Mysterious power? What kind of power is that?" Li Yi was shocked.

In this era, something beyond destiny actually appeared.

Destiny should be the pinnacle of this era. What can break it?
"We don't know either. That power is too great." The Empress said, "If you can kill the Taoist Taiping, and with the Corpse Emperor's destiny, you will become the new number one in the world, dominating an entire era."

"I understand."

Li Yi thought to himself that these two old guys must be hiding something.

Why hasn't that mysterious power been investigated for all these years?
No clues were revealed. Both sides were using each other, and now both had achieved their goals.

Whether Li Yi joins the Taoist priest of Taiping or not, it cannot change the fact that they will break the seal.

Sit cross-legged and practice, waiting for the arrival of Taoist Taiping.

That night, the monks arrived at Zangguan, earlier than the tomorrow the news had said.

Li Yi went down the mountain and said, "No need to follow me. I will show up tomorrow. If you continue to follow me, don't blame me for killing you."

The divine monks hesitated for a moment and returned to ask the Corpse King, and sure enough, he did not follow.

Taking advantage of the night, Li Yi saw many cultivators wandering around the edge of the burial ground.

He came to the place where he was dug out, took off the mask, and restored his original face.

Gu Tianyin has arrived. Now, she has undergone nine transformations of the immortal seed and is about to enter the realm of divinity.

"Master." She bowed obediently. "It's good to see you."

She was always worried about Li Yi's safety, but she was far away in Taiping Temple and could do nothing.

"It's about to be a divine object, not bad." Li Yi nodded with satisfaction.

"This is the Taiping Sutra." A flash of light appeared on Gu Tianyin's fingertips and sank into Li Yi's brow. "Master Taiping will be going to the Holy Mountain tomorrow. Master, please take shelter first."

"This time, Master cannot avoid it." Li Yi shook his head and said without hiding anything: "Now that Master has become the new Corpse King, how can I retreat?"

"Master is the Corpse King?" Gu Tianyin was shocked and said quickly, "Then I will go and ask Master Taiping not to attack you."

"No need to beg. Have you forgotten what your master said? This body has reached its limit."

Li Yi shook his head and said, "You don't have to feel sad. Everything will be normal tomorrow. Just pretend you don't know me."

This matter must be made clear, otherwise any emotion Gu Tianyin reveals when he fights with the Taoist priest of Taiping will arouse suspicion.

"But, can you really be reborn through a body?" Gu Tianyin looked worried.

"Of course you can. The princess of the Tang Dynasty should also be an extraordinary person." Li Yi said.

"Li Weiyang? They are here this time too. Before, there were also extraordinary people who wanted to replace the disciples.

She said that her disciple had long been dead and alive, and that she had received a response from me after death, so she came to find me.

When Gu Tianyin said this, a strange look appeared on his face: "Master, do the so-called extraordinary people come from the future?"

In this era, immortality is no longer possible, and she naturally knows that she will die too.

"Yes." Li Yi nodded frankly.

"What about Master?"

"I will tell you in detail later. My purpose is the same as theirs, which is to serve the destiny."

Li Yi said: "But as a teacher, I am different from them. They all regard me as an enemy."

"My junior brother Wu Chen once muttered the name Li Yi to himself, so I knew he was also an extraordinary person. Unfortunately, I never found a chance to kill him." Gu Tianyin's eyes showed murderous intent.

"In troubled times, be careful." Li Yi said this and asked, "What exactly is Taoist Taiping going to do? This incident at the Burial Pass was not done by the Burial Soil."

"I don't know. I only know that Master Taiping often talks about world peace and cultivates the Taiping Sutra in the hope of bringing complete peace to the world."

Gu Tianyin shook his head: "He created a heaven with great power, and it was called Taiping Heaven."

Li Yi thought carefully, is the Taiping Taoist's goal of bringing peace to the world the solution to the burial problem?
But why did he destroy the burial gate?

He couldn't figure it out, and Gu Tianyin didn't know either.

"Oh right, Master Taiping said that the cultivators of the Divine Objects in the Burial Ground all have special connections with the Corpse King and the Spirit Queen. The Corpse King and the Spirit Queen are not simple, and are protected by mysterious objects. Even if Master Taiping and the Zen Immortal Master join forces, they can't kill them, and can only seal them..."
