Chapter 950: 604

Li Kun’s reaction somewhat surprised Li Changhe, as there were quite a few Transcendents who had seen the Black Mud Divinity.

During the Seven Kings War, many magicians died on the Black Mud, but none reacted with a wide grin and laughter like him.

He couldn’t help but retort, "What’s the matter? Senior, do you plan to perform a breakthrough right in the middle of battle?"

After all, Li Kun was the strongest known Transcendent in this world.

He was also a Heavenly Pride, and the longest-living among them.

All his talents and potential had already transformed into solid strength.

And he had lingered at this realm for nearly half a century.

Perhaps he really could take one step further and set foot on that Heavenly Road.

If that were the case, Li Changhe and the others wouldn’t face much difficulty in their task. They would just need to cheer wildly from behind. How high could the strength of a fully-realized Celestial be?

"It’s not that simple, just more certain now," Li Kun said with a laugh and shook his head: "At least I have some clue now."

"Alright, we have already investigated the hiding spots of those guys," Li Kun didn’t disclose what he saw, but shifted the topic to the next plan: "Last night, you killed Wu Ma, causing them to panic a bit, and they revealed themselves during their escape. The Association’s informant is now able to pinpoint their hiding places... Speaking of which, young friend, how did you manage to avoid being deduced by the Book of Heaven?"

This was also what puzzled Li Kun; he knew the Tianyan Association had the Book of Heaven. This was also the biggest reason for the Association’s survival until now.

The Association’s current strength was formidable, with six Earth Level Transcendents along with other heroes. If they could find the Tianyan Association, dismantling them wouldn’t be a big problem.

It was precisely because of the existence of the Book of Heaven, that every encirclement turned out fruitless. At most, they could only capture some small fry.

Because of this, after arriving in Yanyun, Li Kun had repeatedly disturbed the causality, in hopes of disrupting the Book of Heaven’s deductions, to find the enemy, but to no avail.

The Book of Heaven probably had already deduced an absolutely safe place for Wu Ma and others; even if he searched with all his might, it would take at least three days.

Yet, before his side could find them, Li Changhe precisely blocked Wu Ma and eradicated the Japanese Transcendent among them. By fluke, they disrupted the Book of Heaven’s deductions.

"The Karmic Book of Heaven? That has been sealed off. I will no longer appear in the deductions of the Book of Heaven, I am now the greatest variable," Li Changhe said with a smile after thinking: "I once saw the projection of the Human Ancestor at some place, and he casually removed the causality from me."

In the instance beneath the Divine Tree, Li Changhe had indeed met two ancestors.

One was the Primordial Warlord, Ancestor Chiyou. After obtaining a part of his body, He regained some strength, and now He’s in Chuanshu messing with pandas.

Li Changhe went... no, it was Chen Mazi who went to rob the train, and the Ancestor even made a move then.

The other was the Human Ancestor Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor.

Of course, that was just a Divinity projection. Whether He is still alive remains unknown, and officially, there are no clues about Him.

His projection casually removed the Taoist causality from Li Changhe and completely shielded him from the deductions of secret treasures like the Book of Heaven. In the end, He even fed the Divinity to Old Lead. He truly took consideration for his descendants.

"Human Ancestor, Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan? Listen to you brag!"

Li Kun mumbled to himself, momentarily unsure if Li Changhe was boasting, and inadvertently looked towards his own once-removed disciple, Pan Ke.

Pan Ke, with an expressionless face, nodded and said, "Ancestor... What he said is true. He also woke the Military Family Ancestor, the Demon God Chiyou, with a casual call."

"Unfortunately, the situation was quite urgent at the time. There was no time to ask the ancestor if the tale of ’Empress ascending to immortality amongst three thousand consorts’ was true," Li Changhe said, spreading his hands.

"That’s definitely not true! You... really have had quite the experiences, huh?" Li Kun raised his eyebrows and finally said to Li Changhe, "Since you can block deductions, you are indeed the biggest variable in the Book of Heaven. Perhaps, it is you who will unravel this deadlock. The deadlock for us might be useless against you."

"That’s the idea," Li Changhe thought for a moment and continued, "If they could quickly inspect the Book of Heaven, then your movements could be calculated and corresponding strategies devised. But indeed, they cannot prevent me. To them, I am an enemy that’s not part of their plan."

"The only variable..." Li Kun nodded slightly and saluted with a fist, "No wonder Wu Ma wanted to replace you at the last moment. He must have sensed this. It seems we’ll have to trouble the young friend."

Li Changhe, being the variable, was going to be the most indispensable part of the plan.

"No worries. But I do have a request," Li Changhe responded with a salute of his own, "If possible, help us look after the friends and family of this era."

"Of course, we will spare no effort... but for you, no matter how much our era changes, it won’t affect your world at all, right?" Li Kun asked, "Even if we avoid the deadlock here and take good care of your friends and family, in your world, we are still those who have died. The tragedies befalling your friends and family won’t be changed."

"That’s right," Li Changhe replied, "But I hope that in some world, no tragedies have occurred."

Hearing this, Li Kun laughed, "I’ll be honest... Suddenly, you’re much more agreeable to me."

Li Changhe chuckled, "You old timer really do want to hit me!"

Soon, the supplies Li Changhe and the others needed were ready.

The most important were weapons.

Especially for Li Changhe, who possessed the Black Mud Divinity, his weapons wore out exceptionally fast.

After all, ordinary weapons would quickly wear out once imbued with Black Mud.

Without the aid of the [Player Backpack], the consumption of weapons became a major issue. Bows and arrows were not too problematic, but melee weapons needed to be of higher quality. You couldn’t possibly go into battle carrying a hundred and eighty swords, could you?

Luckily, Jiang Shenchui of the Craftsman Sect, one of the Thirteen Heroes, brought his magical tool, the Troop Storage Box.

A suitcase-sized metal box held a vast array of weapons.

These were weapons forged by the disciples of the Craftsman Sect, with many fine and even rare weapons among them.

Choosing six weapons of decent quality, a hunting bow, and a number of arrows, Li Changhe was now armed to unleash considerable combat strength.

Qiu Wentian, on the other hand, chose a few swords.

Though none were as good as the ones in her sheath, they were sufficient for her to exhibit her prowess.

She was, after all, a fierce fighter who emerged from war scenarios, with her strength relying more on combat skills.

The demands for skills and such were actually not that high.

Indeed, powerful skills consume a lot, and in the war scenarios, Qiu Wentian relied more on her own skills.

As for Pan Ke and the pond’s owner, who were already Transcendents, there was even less to worry about.

(Why do some readers say the Crying Hero story is nt? It’s been troubling Old Lang all day sigh... the disaster fog should be considered one of Old Lang’s best instances.)
