destiny eternal calamity

Those memories that should have died were now attacking him.

Xie Youshan's method of erasing memories was more like covering up than erasing. Under the erosion of time, these coverings on the soul became thin and fragile.

Ultimately, it shattered completely after he broke through the Spirit Bridge.

During her imprisonment for more than ten months and over three hundred days, Xie Youshan would experience a love affair with him in her dreams every day.

Although it was a fictional story, he could sense that Xie Youshan's emotions were genuine.

The feelings he experienced in his dreams were also real.

Later, Xie Youshan even confessed to him directly in her dream that she wanted to have a real relationship with him in reality, so she didn't want him to know about these false stories in her dream.

Damn it, what right does this guy have to make decisions for himself?

What an arrogant woman.

Li Wei considers himself a principled person who believes in seeing things through to the end in relationships.

He had previously been indifferent to Xie Youshan because he felt that his relationship with her was entirely one-sided.

Xie Youshan's actions of confining him and allowing him to enter her dreams showed no respect for his human rights.

Although this was a common phenomenon in an era when demons reigned supreme and humans were enslaved, the other party's behavior still disgusted him greatly.

Even if there were some signs of reconciliation later on, it was just that the hatred had subsided.

Li Wei once felt that his feelings for the four maids, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, were probably deeper than those for this enchantress with whom he had spent almost a year.

But he never imagined that he had actually loved this woman countless times in his dreams.

He was certain that in his dream he was merely implanted with some initial settings and was not under any other mental control.

For example, Xie Youshan is his childhood sweetheart, adopted sister, senior schoolmate, fiancée, and so on.

There are even several instances where characters are disfigured or disabled.

But the fact that he could fall in love with Xie Youshan so quickly every time only shows that he really liked this woman, both in terms of her appearance and personality.

So, will he ever see this demoness again?

Ten thousand years have passed between them, and the world has changed beyond recognition.

Li Wei knew that, given his dislike of regrets, this incident would become a thorn in his side.

Whether the system can activate the River of Time is not under his control. It seems that the "Yangzhou Cauldron Technique" provided a spacetime coordinate, and his deduction of the "Nine Cauldrons Skill" was a search for this coordinate, which triggered the system's time travel mechanism.

Does this mean he'll have to wait until he breaks through to the Divine Realm for the next time he travels through time?

If he can find other techniques that require specific conditions during the deduction process, can he also activate this mechanism?

Countless guesses surged in Li Wei's mind.

"Hey kid, what's wrong with you? You're acting really weird today!"

Xiao Shuying patted Li Wei on the back and asked.

"It's nothing. I was just momentarily lost in the mysteries of the Spirit Bridge realm..."

At night, Li Wei lay in bed, examining the control panel.

[Host: Li Wei]

[Age: 19] (Time traveled by one year)

[Qualifications: Excellent]

[Techniques: Myriad Laws Return to Nothingness Force (Perfect), Five-Step Plum Blossom Stakes (Second Tier/Perfect), Pulse-Grabbing Technique (Second Tier/Perfect), Six Harmonies Saber Technique (Second Tier/Perfect), Carefree Sword Technique+ (Second Tier/Perfect), Everlasting Spring Finger (False Qi Technique)+ (Fourth Tier/Perfect), Ethereal Qin Melody (Third Tier/Perfect), Eight Steps to Gaze at the Sunset (Third Tier/Perfect), Nine Refinements of the Cloud Bed (Third Tier/Perfect), Exhaling Turbidity and Inhaling Purity Method (Third Tier/Perfect), Taiqing Skill (Third Tier/Perfect), Nine Cauldrons Skill+ (Fourth Tier/Entry Level)...] (Other third-tier five-element internal skills omitted here)

[Learnable Technique: Blood Pact+]

[Martial Arts Cultivation: Early Stage of the Spirit Bridge Realm]

[Recharge Points: 274520 (One tael of silver can be used to recharge 1 recharge point.)] (Total recharge points consumed: 741180)

[Note: Recharge points can be used to learn cultivation techniques, upgrade technique levels, and advance technique stages...]

Because he was afraid of affecting his true qi attributes, Li Wei did not dare to rashly improve the Nine Cauldrons Technique.

Out of curiosity about the subsequent evolution of that fake Qi technique, Li Wei spent 74240 recharge points to deduce and upgrade the Everlasting Finger to the fourth level of perfection.

Then he discovered that this technique could actually be improved further.

The fact that the Everlasting Finger could be upgraded from the second to the fourth level clearly shows its immense potential. I wonder what surprises it will bring him in the end.

Like the Blood and Flesh Contract and the Myriad Laws Return to Nothingness Force, it has no grade markings.

But since it's not needed for the time being, we'll ignore it.

After considering reserving 160,000 recharge points for each activation of the River of Time, Li Wei only had a little over 100,000 recharge points left, which was clearly not a good situation.

Fortunately, his 50% stake in Zuixian Winery will be distributed next month.

The profit for an entire quarter must be no small amount.

Besides that, what he coveted most was the dividend from the 50% stake in the Cloud Kingdom, which amounted to 600,000 taels of silver every month.

Since Li Anguo's incident, all this silver has been taken directly by the Prime Minister's Mansion, bypassing the Li family.

Logically, Li Wei should be able to claim his two months' dividends from the company based on the shareholding agreement he holds.

But clearly this is an unreasonable world.

If he really does that, the Prime Minister's mansion and the Prince of Jin behind him will probably completely turn against him.

Since the last assassination attempt, there has been little activity at the Prime Minister's residence.

Clearly, they intended to accept this loss and not hold it against Li Wei for the time being.

Li Wei now has the Princess's mansion as his backer, so he's no longer an insignificant figure. If the two sides continue to fight like this, the only one who will benefit is the Crown Prince.

However, for both sides, this is only a temporary concession.

Both sides are definitely planning to thoroughly settle scores with each other once they rise to power.

The next day, Li Wei went to the princess's residence early in the morning to consult historical records from 10,000 years ago.

Shang Xueyan watched his retreating figure from the shadows, lost in thought.

A few days ago, she had completely recovered her cultivation level, and even reached a higher level. At this time, she had already touched the threshold of the late stage of the Void Realm.

Yesterday, she suddenly sensed a peculiar fluctuation of true energy coming from the direction of Li Wei's bedroom, which seemed to resonate with the true energy within her body.

Under the powerful divine sense of the Void Realm, she confirmed this point once again.

This little guy seems to have really mastered the Nine Cauldrons Technique.

Logically speaking, if it's just that third-tier Nine Cauldrons Technique, it shouldn't resonate with the true energy within her body...

Let's find out more details when he gets back.

……

Li Wei searched the entire archives of Mingyue Tower but found no records of the Mirage Clan or the Queen Mother of the West. However, he did see the name of a familiar person.

The ancient human emperor, Ji Yuanhong.

Unfortunately, there are not many records, and there is no mention of the fact that the Xuanyuan clan was once an appendage of the Tengshe and Shen.

Clearly, this less-than-glorious part of history has been concealed by historical writing.

The history books only state that Emperor Ji Yuanhong once went to Kunlun to seek an audience with a divine being and was bestowed with martial arts skills.

From then on, human martial arts flourished and gradually rose to prominence until they completely defeated the demon race five thousand years ago.

After that, the demon race was driven to the barren and desolate Demon Continent, which is now the territory of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

"It seems we can't find any useful clues..."

"However, if I'm not mistaken, the forest I was in when I first transmigrated should be the capital of Dali ten thousand years ago."

"Perhaps this can be used to deduce the approximate location of Higashino and the Mirage."
