My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 405 The Letter!
Li Wei was taken aback upon hearing this.

If I remember correctly, the last time he met Corpse Girl and Teacher Zhang was when he was the inspector in Xinhai City.

Later, when Sirius City went missing, Li Wei led a team to rescue them, only to encounter a series of events including the expansion of the Blissful Demon Land and the destruction of the Bewitching Forbidden Land.

After finally escaping the Bewitching Forbidden Zone, he was hunted down by the Dark Web and severely injured. He went to the Heavenly Court for treatment and met with the Jade Emperor before finally being assigned to the Thunder Department of the Central Plains.

After arriving at the Thunder Department in Zhongzhou, Li Wei issued a recruitment order, wanting to invite Teacher Zhang Yidao to serve in the Thunder Department and help him.

But Zhang Yidao doesn't seem to have responded to his transfer order.

This is normal.

After all, for cultivators, a single period of seclusion can take several months.

Moreover, Zhang Yidao is a pharmacist. Without the aid of large-scale magical equipment for industrial production, it would take him at least several days to make a bottle of high-grade potion. But even high-grade potions are not in short supply, and it would be impossible to have less than several hundred bottles at a time!
Therefore, Li Wei would not find it strange even if Teacher Zhang did not reply for several years.

So if you think about it carefully, it wasn't that Lao Zhang arrived too slowly, but rather that Li Wei was just too fast at causing trouble.

In a mere few months, which is insignificant for a person of immortality, he actually accomplished a series of major tasks, including supporting the Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, arresting the Education Commissioner and the Kong family, and destroying the Wuzhuang Temple.

"That's great! I've been taking medicine from Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group lately, but I've been feeling a bit unwell. Now that Teacher Zhang is here, I can take the unregulated medicine again. Please show me the letter."

"Grumble." Mi Hongzhi casually handed over an old-fashioned yellow leather envelope.

Li Wei was about to take it when he suddenly realized something was wrong, and his hand froze in place.

Mi Hongzhi was speechless: "Big brother! Are you spacing out again at a time like this?"

After a moment of silence, Li Wei asked with a strange expression, "Are you sure Teacher Zhang and Corpse Girl only left me a letter?"

"What's wrong with this?"

"Of course that's wrong!"

"With the advanced technology of the Celestial Planet, if they have something to say, they can just make a phone call or leave a message on their phone. Why would they choose such an ancient way of communication as writing letters?"

"And since they've already come all this way, why did they leave in such a hurry without even waiting for me to wake up? What could be so urgent? Are they being chased or something?"

Even if they were chasing someone, they wouldn't have chased them all the way to Li Wei's hospital room, would they?
His hospital room is now a key protected area of ​​the Heavenly Court, and there may even be more than one god secretly present there. Who would dare to come here to hunt down Li Wei's people?

This is clearly unreasonable.

Mi Hongzhi fell silent, her expression becoming one of surprise and uncertainty.

The Heavenly Dao 0.81 system also realized something was wrong, staring intently at the message: "Master, if you put it that way, this thing does seem a bit off. Let me go and observe it."

The system panel emerged from Li Wei's body like a shark, pasted onto the letter, and after examining it carefully for a moment, suddenly let out a gasp:
[Master, your guess was absolutely right! If I'm not mistaken, this thing seems to be imbued with the aura of fate and karma!!]

The principles of fate and cause and effect are mysterious and difficult to understand; even the Way of Heaven cannot fully grasp them.

So if Li Wei hadn't been rational enough to analyze the situation in time, and if he hadn't obtained the [Echo of Fate] entry this time, which allows him to touch fate, even the Heavenly Dao 0.81 might not have been able to discover it!

Thinking of this,

081 immediately became serious and said: 【Master! In destiny, cause is effect, and effect is cause. Regardless of what this letter ultimately points to, once you open it, you will be drawn into something extraordinary.】

[And I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I have a feeling that besides the entanglement of fate and cause and effect, this letter itself seems to carry other dangers.]

Li Wei's expression immediately turned serious: "Is there a way to break free from the causal and fate forces above?"

[It's possible, but I suspect the letter's contents are related to these karmic causes and effects. If we erase it, we'll never know what's written in the letter. So, should we erase it?]

After pondering for a moment, Li Wei finally shook his head.

"When the Heavenly Court launched its surprise attack on Wuzhuang Temple this time, by formulating a battle plan in advance, they had already laid the foundation for Zhen Yuanzi's inevitable death!"

"Now this letter also carries the power of fate and karma. If I rashly destroy it, will it also lay the foundation for a predetermined future that I don't want to see?"

This future may not necessarily harm Li Wei, but Teacher Zhang and Corpse Girl are most likely doomed!
After all, this letter was the last clue they left behind, and if it were destroyed, these two guys might never come back.

So Li Wei decided—to call in reinforcements!!

Now he is not only the Inspector of the Thunder Department of Central Plains, but also a special envoy of the Heavenly Emperor, and a great hero of the Heavenly Court who felled the Ginseng Fruit Tree and laid the foundation for Zhen Yuanzi's death. He only needs to say one word, and there are plenty of people willing to risk their lives for him. Even the gods will not easily refuse his request!

Li Wei had a clear plan: "Since the two of us can't handle it, let's find a human immortal or earth immortal who specializes in cultivating the Dao of Qi and Destiny. If even human immortals and earth immortals can't handle it, then perhaps even celestial immortals and golden immortals would be interested? If that still doesn't work..."

"Hehe! Good things should of course be handed over to the Heavenly Court! Let the Three Pure Ones handle this headache-inducing task."

Although he really wanted to save Teacher Zhang Yidao and Corpse Girl's lives, he wouldn't risk his life for them. Otherwise, if he also died, who would burn paper money for Teacher Zhang and Corpse Girl in the future?

A person can die and go to hell to become a ghost, but they cannot be a poor ghost without money, much less an orphan ghost without any connections!
Li Wei was their god of wealth and support while he was alive, so even if the two of them knew that Li Wei had abandoned them, they would still be very gratified.
Just do it!

Li Wei immediately sent the letter to the Thunder Department, asking them to study it first. However, the Thunder Department couldn't figure anything out, so the letter was sent to the Heavenly Court.

Most of the gods in Heaven were already in a standoff with the Nine Sages and Heretics in the primordial chaos when news suddenly came that Venus had been ambushed and seriously injured by the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Fearing the situation would spiral out of control, the Supreme Emperor had no choice but to send another batch of gods to provide support, resulting in the fact that there are now very few gods left to guard the Heavenly Court.

So, after going through a series of twists and turns, the letter ended up in the hands of the Supreme Emperor.

He held the envelope and waved it in the light streaming into the courtyard of the Lingxiao Palace. He easily saw through the envelope the tangled web of fate and destiny within.

[Heh, interesting! This method must originate from ancient times, right? And it seems to carry the special divine mandate of the dragon race. Could this letter be related to the East Sea?]

A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor: "How did Li Wei discover such a hidden and ancient power?"

Li Wei has become increasingly extraordinary lately, so the Supreme Emperor of Heaven has become more and more cautious in his attitude towards him.

Even with the slightest suspicion, He did not lower His guard. Instead, He immediately activated the recording device on Li Wei's body, as well as the secretly recorded footage from the Heavenly Emperor's special envoy's jade talisman, and began to examine it carefully.

quickly,

When the Supreme Emperor saw Li Wei's reasoning, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief:
[So the problem was with the letter itself? Unexpectedly, even after cultivating to such a level, this kid can still maintain such rationality and caution!]

As expected of the person I chose!
The more outstanding Li Wei was, the more it proved the Heavenly Emperor's judgment. So, with a bit of pride, he picked up the letter and tore it open.

Brush brush!
Like a long-sealed warehouse suddenly opened, countless dust particles of destiny surged out and rushed towards the mouth and nose of the Supreme Emperor, trying to inject a predetermined destiny into His body.

[Ha! I thought it was some amazing divine power of destiny, but it turns out it's just a super-grade immortal technique!]

[With such meager skills, you dare to invade the Heavenly Emperor's palace?]

Shang Hao didn't even move an inch, and the approaching dust particles of fate were suddenly ignited in the air and turned into a cloud of black smoke!
[Ah!!! Your Majesty, I... I didn't mean to! I was wrong!!!]

A piercing scream suddenly came from the black smoke.

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Emperor laughed: "Senior Dragon King of the Jing River? Didn't the East Sea Dragon Palace say you were critically ill and had already begun selecting the next Dragon King? What, have you come back to life?"

"Your Majesty! This old minister merely caught a minor illness, and I am now fully recovered."

[Minor illness?]

After a moment of contemplation, the Supreme Emperor of Heaven suddenly reached out and retrieved the Jinghe Dragon King's file from the Heavenly Court's top-secret information database.

The Dragon King of the Jing River might not know it himself, but the Supreme Emperor of Heaven knew that the Heavenly Court had been secretly monitoring the ancient, primordial divine bloodlines, such as the Peacock Clan, the Phoenix Clan, and especially the Dragon Clan!

Let alone the various dragon kings of the divine realm.

Even the pure-blooded dragons at the Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation levels are under the surveillance of the Heavenly Court's laws, and every sixty years, they are regularly subjected to divination, spying, and research, with the Heavenly Court's records constantly being updated!
Things like the impending death of the Dragon King must be recorded.

And now,
The Jinghe Dragon King's file clearly states that last month, the Plague Department had specially sent a physician to secretly observe the Jinghe Dragon King's condition. The conclusion was that the dragon was terminally ill and beyond cure; he would definitely report to the underworld in ten days at most!

but now,
More than a month has passed.

The Jinghe Dragon King was actually speaking to the Jade Emperor here, and even used the power of fate and karma?
The Supreme Emperor smiled, but showed no sign of distress. He simply said calmly, "Now that the Jing River Dragon King has recovered, he should come up here at some time to explain this matter to me in person!"

【It just so happens that you haven't come to the Heavenly Court to report for duty for hundreds of years. Take this opportunity to bring up the accounts and performance documents of the Jing River over the past few centuries!】

The Dragon King of the Jing River hesitated for a moment, then respectfully replied: "Your humble servant obeys!"
