Chapter 1681: Who Will Be The Last One Smiling? (2/2)

The bubbles were born along the river of time. They were extremely rare as essences of the timeline. Because of this, one epoch would only produce three to five. This would already be a large quant.i.ty.

In the past, Li Qiye had also thought about using them to seal existences on the same level as emperors. The method was hypothesized by him too but he never carried it out.

Gu Zun was aware of this method. Who would have thought that he would actually be successful with it?

The Eye Mist was very rare as well. It was also another type of essence created from certain sea-serpent that had the bloodline of a True Dragon. There was a complete corpse of this creature in the nine worlds. Li Qiye told him in pa.s.sing but Gu Zun memorized this and actually came for it. He used it on Soaring Immortal and allowed his cavalry to attack.

“This is all due to your own effort, I don’t dare to claim credit. It is such a shame that you have chosen the wrong path.” Li Qiye shook his head and smiled.

Even the everlasting crow had to admit that Gu Zun was very talented with amazing achievements. In the past, the ones he trained used their talents and tried their best to become an emperor, all focus was on cultivation.

This wasn’t the case for Gu Zun. He learned strategy and scheming in order to become someone like the Dark Crow or even replace him. Unfortunately, he still wasn’t a match for the Dark Crow.

“You are right, I’m still too inexperienced compared to you in all aspects. I lack your vast knowledge as well. I wasn’t too confident in sealing you this time and I understand now, that your plan wasn’t meant just for me. It involved everyone.” Gu Zun was still calm enough to smile.

He was aware that Li Qiye wanted to kill all of his enemies, including him, the imperial queen, and the Ancient Ming. Otherwise, his brother-in-law, the Black Dragon King, wouldn’t be hiding in the horizon and stopping all escape paths.

Thus, when the Ancient Ming appeared, they would be completely ma.s.sacred since the Dark Crow was waiting for them to take the bait!

Nevertheless, he still had to take the chance. This was his only opportunity to defeat the Dark Crow, such a chance would never arise again in the future. Once the Dark Crow came to the tenth world, he would lose this chance to contend since the Dark Crow would become even stronger than now.

“Alas, someone else is even more careful and patient than you.” Li Qiye glanced at the sky and said.

It was easy to talk to a smart person. Gu Zun understood what he meant right away. Unfortunately, the Ancient Ming still refuse to show up and take action. Otherwise, he would be able to kill them and seize the Corporeal Zone!

This wasn’t too surprising. The Ancient Ming had become very patient and careful after dealing with him for generations before their eventual defeat. Unless there was no other choice, they wouldn’t take any unnecessary risk.

However, Soaring Immortal was clearly an experiment by the Ancient Ming. They wanted to use this sect in order to break through to the nine worlds again.

“That’s why I said I’m still inexperienced. I’m curious right now, which is your real body?” Gu Zun looked at Li Qiye in the bubble and asked.

“Does it matter? It doesn’t change the result at all.” Li Qiye smiled mysteriously.

Having said that, he slightly moved his body, seemingly crossing through time and the bubble.

“Pa!” The bubble shattered and the two Li Qiye fused together. No one could ever tell the real one from the fake one earlier now.

In fact, there was indeed a double among the two. This wasn’t an ordinary double since Li Qiye used the World Seal to create a duplicate for himself. This particular double was only a bit weaker than the real body.

Gu Zun wasn’t surprised to see the bubble being destroyed. Others might not be able to do this but the Dark Crow was a different story. After all, he heard about the bubbles and got the idea of using them from the Dark Crow.
