Chapter 517: Chapter 431: Li Hongxiu’s Choice; Challenger_2

She took out a set of music scores from the cabinet, planning to browse through them to relieve her boredom before starting her cultivation. As the Blood Realm was conquered and some Immortal Sect Families began to try to migrate to Jiang Er, resources swiftly became abundant, especially for those close to Li Hongxiu. With the influx of a large number of resources, coupled with her already considerable talent, her strength rose swiftly.

However, even so, it was within the bounds of normal.

Yet, the rate of Su Heng’s strength increase was beyond the realm of common reason. Recalling how she had once been an enemy to such a monster, Li Hongxiu could not help but sigh for the umpteenth time, feeling incredibly lucky to still be alive.

Bang bang bang!

She had just settled down in a corner and hadn’t even had the chance to open the music scores.

When the rhythmic knocking on the door once again sounded.

“Is there something wrong with the document from earlier?” Li Hongxiu couldn’t help but wonder, but she soon realized that the situation might be different from what she expected.

She placed the music scores aside and stood up.

The relaxed expression on her face became somewhat unnatural as she cleared her throat twice before inviting, “Please come in.”

Click!

The door was pushed open from outside.

A figure with a profound bearing and broad shoulders walked in from outside.

Beside him followed a lady with picturesque features and a cold demeanor.

“Sir, Master,” Li Hongxiu placed her hands on her abdomen and bowed respectfully to the two, taking the initiative to greet them.

Despite having spent a long time by Su Heng’s side and gaining a good understanding of his temperament, Li Hongxiu still sensed an indescribable oddity in the atmosphere, making her feel somewhat uneasy. However, upon reflection, she couldn’t think of anything she should feel guilty about, causing the slight sense of unease to dissipate like smoke.

“Did you come to see me for something?” Li Hongxiu asked cautiously.

Su Heng turned slightly to give Ming Daoist a look.

Without beating around the bush, the Ming Daoist relayed everything that had been discussed with Su Heng and the current predicament they faced to Li Hongxiu.

He made no attempts to conceal anything.

Upon hearing this.

Li Hongxiu immediately fell into a state of hesitation.

On one hand, the Ming Daoist had taken the initiative to propose this Magic Method.

In her view, this method must be greatly beneficial to Li Hongxiu.

After all, if the Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Technique succeeded, it was tantamount to a transformation from Heavenly Deceit to an existence similar to a Destruction Great Power Level, a rebirth not fully covered by the phrase “rebirth”.

Li Hongxiu’s talent was not lacking.

But to cultivate beyond the level of an Earth Immortal was too hopeful.

On the other hand, the disadvantages were also glaringly apparent. Firstly, this Secret Technique involved the risk of failure, and secondly, there were uncertainties. Even if successful, transitioning from one form of life to another is a kind of rebirth, but could she still consider herself the same person by then?

Li Hongxiu furrowed her brows in deep thought.

The Ming Daoist did not urge her.

“If you are unwilling, I will not force you,” Su Heng said gently on the side.

He was never pretentious, and as external conditions deteriorated, especially with the potential loss of Wanyuan Plain, Su Heng had to consider the Blood Realm as a carefully crafted sanctuary in his hands.

In such a case, the role of World Will became very critical.

If Li Hongxiu agreed, that would be good.

Otherwise, he would have to consider refining it himself.

After a moment of silence, Li Hongxiu’s gaze lingered on the face of the Ming Daoist before lifting her head to look at Su Heng. Though her voice was not loud, it was filled with a resolute tone, “I am willing.”

“Are you certain?” Su Heng wore a mild smile on his face, crouching down to ask, “If it fails, you will die, and even if successful, it still entails risks.”

Li Hongxiu took a deep breath, her face resolute, “To hear the way in the morning, to die in the evening is sufficient.”

“To gain power without paying a price or taking risks is impossible. Compared to many Cultivators, having such an opportunity is very rare, so I will not miss it.”

Li Hongxiu clenched her fist tightly.

“Good!” Su Heng could feel her resolve and no longer tried to persuade her.

He reached out and gently caressed Li Hongxiu’s silky hair, then stood up and asked the Ming Daoist beside him, “How long will the preliminary preparations for this Secret Technique take?”

“Seven days will suffice,” the Ming Daoist answered, bowing.

“Good.”

Su Heng nodded and left with, “Notify me when the ritual preparation is complete.”

He then pushed open the door and left, his imposing figure disappearing into the darkness of the corridor.

…

Once Su Heng left the office area that had been temporarily set up,

He performed Divine Movement, stepping forward. As a gust of wind unfurled beneath his feet, Su Heng’s burly figure also vanished in an instant, and when he appeared again, he was already at the foot of Taibola Volcano.

By this time, one could see the captive Flame Giants carrying huge boulders on their shoulders.

On the dark and steep slopes of the volcano, large steps had been smashed out for easier access.

The giants carried the stones, heads down, step by step upwards.

The constructions on the volcano were ordered by Su Heng himself, and therefore he had set the highest standards in the design. The stones used to build the temple were supplied from the Immortal Sect Secret Realm, called “Xuanwu Heavy Rock.” Not only appealling in appearance with black stones streaked with golden veins, but also remarkably sturdy, even Demon God Level entities would find them difficult to break.
