Chapter 1071: A Lonely Grave a Thousand Li Away (1/3)
Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators.
Dream-Making Expert.
“Who’s there?”
Li Qizi’s sudden appearance startled Bai Ling’er, who was pushing Lin Qi out to bask in the sun.
Bai Ling’er became alert, standing guard in front of Lin Qi, and decisively raised the alarm.
In the next instant, Fang Yun came rushing over, carrying Xiao Ali, who was clutching the Empress Wa Banner.
Li Qizi paid no mind to the wariness of Fang Yun’s family of three.
He gazed at Lin Qi in the wheelchair with weathered eyes.
He had never seen Lin Qi like this.
Slumped in the wheelchair like a vegetable, completely motionless.
This shocked Li Qizi as he had not been shocked in a long time. He instinctively landed in front of Lin Qi, carefully sensing his current state.
He discovered that Lin Qi’s Primordial Spirit and spiritual power had all vanished, like a true mortal.
No, it should be even worse than a mortal.
At least a mortal could still control their own body and possessed self-awareness.
But Lin Qi.
“How did he become like this?”
“Who did this!”
Li Qizi trembled uncontrollably.
During that long span of 1.296 billion years, he had actually doubted and wavered at times.
I feel like I am suffering and waiting in this lonely passage of time.
Yet Lin Qi is very likely forever full of vigor, forever wielding immense power, forever carefree and living it up.
In short, he had never imagined.
After crossing 1.296 billion years of time, after enduring 1.296 billion years of solitude.
When he saw Lin Qi again.
Lin Qi would actually be paralyzed in a wheelchair like a living corpse, his life or death uncertain.
A Lin Qi like this left Li Qizi feeling very uneasy.
He was both sorrowful and furious.
The depths bestowed upon him by the wind and frost of 1.296 billion years erupted in an instant.
Fang Yun’s family of three seemed to see, in that instant, an immortal and majestic Crimson River descending, carrying with it the rolling Red Dust of countless eons.
That Crimson River was filled with the seven emotions and six desires, the obsessions, resentments, and passions of all beings in the Red Dust.
Just one glance at it, and even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would be struck down into the Red Dust, never to transcend for all eternity.
“Father, Mother.”
“Don’t look at him.”
Xiao Ali cried out in alarm. The Empress Wa Banner in her hands trembled, reviving to its utmost, and descended with the might of a Supreme Emperor Weapon to provide shelter.
Only then did Fang Yun and Bai Ling’er snap out of the awe-inspiring might that Li Qizi had just erupted with.
Fang Yun and Bai Ling’er were both shocked and terrified. They were entirely unprepared for the fact that before they could find a way to save Lin Qi.
Such a powerhouse would come knocking on their door.
However.
Fang Yun was not stupid after all. He sensed that Li Qizi had no killing intent toward Lin Qi, so he quickly spoke up. “May I ask if Senior is a Fellow Daoist of Master?”
“You don’t recognize me?”
Li Qizi frowned, but then he grasped the situation.
Perhaps, maybe, it was possible that Fang Yun had indeed never seen him.
But he did know Fang Yun’s appearance.
After all, Wan Teng had often reminisced about Fang Yun in front of them.
So Li Qizi spoke.
“I am Li Qizi, a good friend of your Master.”
“Why has your Master become like this?”
“Tell me quickly.”
Li Qizi did not doubt that he had mistaken the Lin Qi before him.
After all, he was no longer the Li Qizi of back then who could only hold others back.
His lonely trials within the Red Dust for 1.296 billion years had already truly tempered a Dao heart comparable to a Great Luo Golden Immortal’s, perhaps even a bit stronger.
Many secrets between Lin Qi, the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor, and the Peerless Young Master that he had originally never detected.
Were no longer secrets to the current Li Qizi.
So with just one glance, he knew that the Lin Qi before him was the real Lin Qi.
“So it’s Martial-Uncle Li Qizi.”
