Chapter 1002: Fortune Blesses Heaven

In Fuluo Heaven, Li Huowang's consciousness began to twist, and all his senses started to merge. He couldn't see, yet he perceived Sanqing, and beside Sanqing, the Si Ming he was stealing! It was Zhao Shuangdian!!

Their bodies began to overlap, becoming intertwined.

Li Huowang didn't know what Sanqing was doing, nor could he comprehend it. But no matter what Sanqing intended, Li Huowang absolutely wouldn't let him succeed!

Without hesitation, he swung his arms and charged towards Sanqing.

When he felt the touch of the threads on himself, Li Huowang unhesitatingly raised the Spine Sword in his hand and swept it across.

This time was different from before. Previously, Li Huowang could only perceive but not touch, but now that he sensed Sanqing's concrete existence, he could also harm him! "Qingwanglai!! Die!!"

Accompanied by an extremely piercing sound, secret chains, intertwined with Zhao Shuangdian's body and connected by causality, were severed by Li Huowang. They dissolved into the dull, multicolored black water.

Seeing Li Huowang ruining his plans, Sanqing's body began to flicker in and out of existence.

As its body twisted, a secret causal chain gradually formed within Li Huowang's body, slowly becoming one of the secret chains on him.

When that secret causal chain suddenly tensed, scattered images appeared in Li Huowang's mind.

It was Elder Shen Benyou of the Aojing Sect, who had once helped him. He was in the dim Cross Temple, beneath the statue of Gu Shen, conversing with the other five grand elders of the Aojing Sect.

“I have already made that boy Li Huowang owe us a favor. Now, we just need to wait for the right moment to use this favor to tie up the matter of the town's destruction all those years ago.”

“The information I bought from the Moon Gate says he always believed the Sit-Forget Dao was responsible for that incident, completely absolving himself. We can use this to trick him into performing the Rite of Dismemberment.”

“Unsuitable. This child is no ordinary Xin Su. The Rite of Dismemberment is not enough. This matter must be planned carefully. This child must not be underestimated. We must turn him into the next Gu Shen in one go to complete our transaction with Bahui.”

As these sudden memories exploded in Li Huowang's mind, he recalled the deserted, dead town and Jiang Yingzi's revenge against him.

“Was all of that true? Did I really kill tens of thousands of people in that town?” Before Li Huowang could fully process this question, another one immediately sprang into his mind: “Bahui has a deal with the Aojing Sect? They want me to become the next Gu Shen? Has she been faking it all this time? Has she secretly been plotting against me?!”

The moment these thoughts exploded in Li Huowang's mind, his body began to tear apart inch by inch, and an extremely intense pain immediately enveloped his entire being.

It wasn't just physical pain; spiritual agony, surging from an unknown source, continuously washed over Li Huowang's mind like a tide.

This intense pain made Li Huowang's entire body tremble uncontrollably. Regaining a degree of clarity, Li Huowang violently shook his head.

He lowered his head and spoke to the searing pain throughout his body: “What the hell are you rushing for?! I'm not Sanqing! I won't lose sight of what's important!! I'll deal with you when I get back!”

Li Huowang looked up, sensing Sanqing before him once more, and roared with a gut-wrenching fury: “Do you think such trivial things can disturb my mind? Do you think I'll believe anything you say?”

“Ever since I learned you allied with Dice! I won't believe a single word of what you show me! Perhaps these things are real, but can't truth be used to deceive? Dice is best at that! You won't trick me!”

With murder in his eyes, Li Huowang roared, grabbing the secret causal chains with one hand. He raised the blood-stained military knife in his other hand and, filled with extreme rage and murderous intent towards Sanqing, viciously plunged it into his body, stabbing him clean through. “This stab is for Sui Sui!”

As the military knife was violently pulled out, more secrets gushed from Sanqing's body, dissolving into the surrounding seawater.

Li Huowang mustered all his strength, once again raising the blood-stained military knife and violently thrusting it into Sanqing's body. “This stab is for Zhuge Yuan!”

Just as Li Huowang pulled out the military knife again, preparing for a third strike, he noticed something within Sanqing's body—something uncontrolled, infecting its surroundings.

Li Huowang didn't recognize anything else, but one character, "Wang" (旺), was extremely familiar. It was something Sanqing had stolen from him.

Li Huowang reached out, passing through Sanqing's dense web of secret causal chains, and moved towards the "Wang" character.

But just as Li Huowang was about to touch the "Wang" character, Sanqing tore a large, squirming secret directly from himself and unhesitatingly shoved it into Li Huowang's body.

The moment that squirming secret entered Li Huowang, a secret representing a kind of cognition, and cognition can change one's perspective on things. As he received the understanding within this secret, everything around him changed.

With a whoosh, the dull liquid around him instantly became transparent. Li Huowang's perception could suddenly see through everything, and things that his previous understanding couldn't reveal finally emerged.

More importantly, this thing wasn't merely an appearance; it was multi-layered and overlapped! It was only a projection!

After fully absorbing Sanqing's secret, Li Huowang finally saw what lay beneath these exteriors. The entity presented itself simultaneously before his eyes and within his mind through incomprehensible images and written records.

“Its face is defined by the rainbow, primordial sludge from the mysterious source, its flowing foam transcends the depths. Folded within pale armpits. Its form has firm, semi-circular wings, covered by three sounds; when observed, it perceives an unusual sensation, like the glow of starlight; yet it discerns no structure, seeing only its void.”

This grand secret of Sanqing was the "elephant" Zhao Shuangdian spoke of, and also Fuluo Heaven as he understood it!

It had always been there; it was simply that his previous understanding was insufficient, so he couldn't see it at all!

Li Huowang wanted to do something, but he found himself unable to. In the presence of this entity, he couldn't even move, and even his thoughts began to grow increasingly sluggish.

Fuluo Heaven was immensely vast; its unimaginable body completely covered both sky and earth.

It was moving, pressing towards White Jade City at a speed that appeared slow yet was incredibly fast.

As it moved, certain substances continuously peeled away from its vicinity, like useless dandruff.

Li Huowang saw one piece of this 'dandruff' was enormous; it had a mouth full of black, sharp teeth, resembling inverted, hollowed-out black mountains.
