Chapter 431 Li Hongxiu's Choice; Challenger

A breeze blew from the snowy mountains, the bodhi trees rustled, and the lush forest shades cast a golden glow. Below the clear lake was a turbulent stream with many fist-sized black pebbles, which were now splashing with water and making gurgling sounds.

Su Heng sat at the table with an interested expression on his face.

"I know you will never let me down." Su Heng put down the teapot in his hand and asked, "However, what is the method to cultivate the world's will?"

"It is a secret method that the Dayue Dynasty obtained from Changshengtian before."

The man in the underworld looked at the gurgling stream and said softly, "Just like water flows to the lower place, the world will also have a process of re-gathering after it collapses. If we add some means to this process, we can use the re-condensed world will for our own benefit.

But the key here is... people."

"Please give me some advice." Su Heng nodded, a thoughtful look on his face.

"This secret technique is called 'The Power of Stealing Heaven and Substituting the Sun'. The reason why it has not been widely passed down is that its conditions are too harsh. It requires a suitable carrier to merge with the will of the world that has not yet been born. In addition, during this process, one must have great willpower to maintain one's own clarity of mind, until finally one can replace the will of heaven with one's own will. Only then can it be considered truly successful."

"The key lies in the choice of carrier." Su Heng frowned and waited quietly for Ming Daoren's next answer.

Based on his understanding of the underworld people.

If a plan has no possibility of being implemented, it will not come out of the mouth of a person in the underworld.

"Well said."

The Dark Daoist nodded and said calmly, "Normally, it would be hard to find a carrier like this among millions of people. At least in the era I lived in, this technique had never been successful."

"But you're lucky." The Dark Man said at this time, "We know someone like this."

"Who?"

Although Su Heng was asking, he had a vague answer in his mind.

The man in the underworld said, "Li Hongxiu."

……

……

……

Rumble!
A distant sound came from a distant volcano.

In the dimly lit room, Li Hongxiu, who was lying on the table, gradually woke up.

She first stretched her shoulders a little, which were a little sore from maintaining the same posture for a long time, and then stood up from the chair.

He poured himself a cup of tea from the small wooden table next to him, held the black jade teacup, walked to the window, and opened it with a "click".

A hot wind suddenly blew in from outside.

There was a mixture of the smell of gunpowder and dust inside, but it wasn't unpleasant.

The sky was gray, and the huge black volcano Tibora stood in the haze. From a long distance, only a huge black shadow could be vaguely seen. As the will of the blood realm dissipated, a large amount of chaotic power from Changshengtian poured in. This doomsday volcano also entered an unstable period and began to erupt irregularly. A large amount of magma flames were spewing out from the dark crater.

As dark clouds gathered in the sky, blood-red thunder fell.

Such a scene is magnificent.

Life in the blood world is actually very boring. As long as her own safety is guaranteed, Li Hongxiu doesn't mind enjoying the scene as some kind of show.

boom!
Wait until Li Hongxiu finishes the tea in her hand and closes the window.

At this time, there was a rhythmic knock on the door outside.

Her heart moved slightly.

A spiritual force emanated from his body, and a furry fox appeared in front of him. The man stood up and gently pulled the handle down with his upper limbs.

With a crisp "click" sound, a burly figure suddenly walked in from outside.

It’s Zhao Zongwu.

He held a document in his hand.

While handing it to Li Hongxiu, he said, "According to the adults' instructions, we plan to have the fire giants we captured earlier build a new temple on the volcano, as well as the corresponding supporting facilities."

Li Hongxiu reached out to take it, glanced at it, and couldn't help but frowning slightly.

“It’s not an easy thing to do.”

Li Hongxiu turned her head and looked out the window. As Su Heng's number one lackey, she understood Su Heng's thoughts.

Su Heng planned to move some of the facilities in Baihua County to the Blood Realm, and then further build it into the center of the territory.

If it was before, there would be nothing wrong with this idea.

But as the blood realm's will dissipated, the power within the blood realm gradually began to become unstable.

Such changes brought a series of problems. Some newly built urban areas were destroyed by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Now the construction on Mount Tibora is going to be very difficult. Although the fire giants are born with supernatural powers, it is probably not easy for them to accomplish such a feat.

Zhao Zongwu said, "That's something they should think about. We just need to implement the adults' will."

"maybe……"

Li Hongxiu shrugged her shoulders and then went to the cabinet in the corner.

She stood on tiptoe, took out the seal representing Su Heng's identity from a drawer on the upper level, and pressed it on the document skillfully.

This document is considered to be passed.

Li Hongxiu handed the approved document back to Zhao Zongwu.

The latter took it, nodded slightly to Li Hongxiu, and then strode away in a hurry.

The house seemed a little empty with only one person left.

The candle hanging in the corner was burning silently, and Li Hongxiu stretched lazily.

Usually at this point in time, work is finished and normally no one will come to see her.

She took out a set of sheet music from the cabinet, intending to read it to relieve her boredom before starting to practice. As the Blood Realm was conquered, and some immortal clans began to try to migrate to Jiang-E, resources quickly became abundant, especially for people around her like Li Hongxiu. With a large amount of resources, plus her own very good qualifications, her strength improved very quickly.

But even so, it is still within the normal range.

The speed at which Su Heng's strength increased could no longer be explained by common sense. Thinking about how she had once been an enemy of such a monster, Li Hongxiu couldn't help but sigh for the umpteenth time, I am still alive, I am so lucky.

Bang bang bang!
I had just sat down in the corner and hadn't even had time to open the music score.

The rhythmic knocking on the door came again.

"Is there any problem with the document just now?" Li Hongxiu couldn't help but think, but soon realized that things might be a little different from what she expected.

She put the sheet music aside and stood up.

His originally relaxed expression seemed a little unnatural. He coughed twice before saying, "Come in."

click!
The door was pushed open from the outside.

A figure with a dignified demeanor and broad shoulders walked in from outside.

A cool woman with picturesque features followed him.

"Sir, Master." Li Hongxiu placed her hands on her abdomen, bowed towards the two of them, and saluted.

Although she had been with Su Heng for a long time and was quite familiar with his temperament, Li Hongxiu still felt that there was something indescribably strange about the atmosphere, which made her feel a little uneasy. However, she thought about it again and realized that she didn't have anything to feel guilty about, so the little bit of uneasiness disappeared.

"Is there something that you want to talk to me about this time?" Li Hongxiu asked carefully.

Su Heng turned sideways and gave Mingdaoren a look.

The man from the underworld did not keep anyone in suspense and told Li Hongxiu exactly what he had said to Su Heng before, as well as some of the difficulties he was facing at the moment.

There was no concealment in it.

Hearing this, Li Hongxiu hesitated.

On the one hand, the underworld man took the initiative to propose this method.

In her eyes, this method would definitely be of great benefit to Li Hongxiu.

After all, once the "method of stealing the sky and replacing the day" is successful, it is equivalent to directly transforming from a celestial being to an existence at the level of a destructive power. It is a bit of an understatement to describe it as "reborn".

Li Hongxiu's talent is not bad.

But if you want to cultivate to a level above Earthly Immortal, the hope is still too slim.

On the other hand, the disadvantages are equally obvious. First, there is the risk of failure in this secret method, and second, there is uncertainty. Even if it succeeds, it will be a different kind of rebirth from one life form to another. But at that time, will you still be the same person?
Li Hongxiu frowned slightly, thinking seriously.

The underworld man did not urge him.

"If you don't want to, I won't force you." Su Heng on the other side said gently.

He never puts on airs. As the external environment deteriorates, especially the possibility of the Wanyuan Plain being lost, Su Heng has to consider that once the world is in chaos, the Blood Realm will become the safe haven he has carefully built in his hands.

In such a situation, the role of this world's will is crucial.

It would be fine if Li Hongxiu agreed.

If he disagrees, he can only consider refining it himself.

After a period of silence, Li Hongxiu's gaze first lingered on Ming Dao Ren's face, then she raised her head and looked at Su Heng. Although her voice was not loud, it was full of resounding charm, "I do."

"Are you sure?" Su Heng asked with a gentle smile on his face, half squatting on the ground, "If you fail, you will die. Success also comes with risks."

Li Hongxiu took a deep breath, with a calm expression on her face, "If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening."

"It is impossible to gain power without paying a price and taking risks. Compared to many practitioners, it is very rare for me to have such an opportunity, so I will not miss it."

Li Hongxiu stretched out her hand and clenched her fist.

"Okay!" Su Heng could sense her will and stopped trying to persuade her.

He reached out and gently brushed Li Hongxiu's smooth long hair, then stood up and asked the underworld man beside him, "How long does it take to prepare for this secret method?"

"Seven days will be enough." The man from the underworld bowed and replied.

"it is good."

Su Heng nodded and said, "Notify me when the ceremony is ready."

He pushed open the door and left, and his huge body disappeared into the darkness deep in the corridor.

……

Wait for Su Heng to leave this temporary office area.

He then used his divine movement and took a step forward. As a gust of wind spread out from under his feet, Su Heng's burly figure suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already at the foot of Mount Tibora.

At this time, you can see the captured fire giants carrying huge stones on their shoulders.

On the dark and steep hillside, huge steps were smashed out to facilitate passage.

These giants carried the stones, lowered their heads, and walked up the stairs step by step.

These buildings on the volcano were built by Su Heng himself, so the highest standards were adopted during the design. The stones used to build the temple were all supplied from the Immortal Sect's secret realm, and were called "basalt heavy rocks". Not only were they beautiful in appearance, but the black stones also had golden textures. They were also very strong, and even a demon god-level warrior would have a hard time breaking them.

It is said...

Before, it was in the Wanyuan Plain.

Some of the famous fortresses guarded by the kings were built with such stones.

Because of their solidity, these "basalt heavy rocks" are naturally extremely heavy. Even if the fire giants captured by Su Heng are born with supernatural powers, it is not easy for them to climb up carrying the mountains of stones.

Every step they take forward.

The ground cracked and sank to a depth of about half a meter.

It can be said to be taking one step at a time in the physical sense.

Coupled with the unstable eruption of Mount Tibora and the fact that the surrounding air currents become more violent the higher you go, the transportation process becomes more and more difficult.

But from Su Heng's current angle.

Looking up the stairs, passing by the solid backs of the fire giants, one can already see the outline of the temple being built.

In addition to the temple in front of him, Su Heng also designed gardens, public baths, and duel pits around it to hone fighting spirit and skills.

However, the construction of these buildings has not yet begun.

It's just on paper now.

Rumble!
The ground shook noticeably again.

The roar was extremely dull, like a wild beast in the wilderness roaring to the sky.

At this time, there were signs that Mount Tibora was about to erupt. As the world's will dissipated, the number of eruptions of Mount Tibora became more and more frequent.

And there are also some dangerous chaotic forces mixed in.

boom!
Su Heng stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the steep, dark mountain wall in front of him.

As his mental power created ripples.

The violent magma inside the volcano was suddenly suppressed by another force that fell from nowhere. The amplitude of the ground shaking also recovered from violent to gentle, until it finally calmed down completely. The fire giants on the stairs breathed a sigh of relief.

Moreover, looking upwards, although the prototype of the temple was shaking, its foundation was very solid and there was no distortion or deformation.

Although these fire giants are a bit reckless, they are not bragging and do have unique talents in construction.

Su Heng withdrew his gaze and was about to leave.

Then he saw Zhao Zongwu walking towards him.

Seeing Zhao Zongwu's hurried look, Su Heng stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Zongwu bowed and said, "We received a letter and someone came to see us."

"Greetings?"

A curious look appeared on Su Heng's face.

With his current reputation, there are countless people who want to meet him, or even challenge him recklessly.

Most of these people don't even have the qualifications to meet Su Heng's Dragon Guards, so they can just send a few demon disciples to deal with them. Generally speaking, only the top leaders of the immortal sects and aristocratic families are qualified to meet Su Heng's confidants.

Now seeing Zhao Zongwu's solemn and serious look, Su Heng instantly understood that this man's identity was probably extraordinary.

Ever since the battle with the Undying.

In this vast world, there are only a handful of people who can catch Su Heng's attention.

The images of these people flashed across Su Heng's eyes, and then suddenly vanished into thin air. Su Heng raised the corners of his mouth slightly and asked, "What is the origin of this person?"

"General Tianshu, Shi Teng!" Zhao Zongwu replied hurriedly.

"is it?"

A look of surprise flashed across Su Heng's face.

"Well..." He thought for a moment and nodded, "Since the other party has come to me, it would be good to meet him."

My condition has not been very good recently, so I will only update once today.
