Forty Millenniums of Cultivation-Novel2

2139 Queen In White!

At this moment, the rumbling thunders far away grew apparently intense, as if something had stabbed into the fauna of the dragon-like lightning.

The three of them looked at faraway, only to discover that the thousands of bolts of lightning on the dark horizon at the edge of the thunderstorm were all twisted weirdly and gathered in the same direction, as if they were attracted by a certain mysterious force. Billions of sparks that looked like a galaxy of stars were raised.

Li Lingfeng changed his facial expression. With dense sweat leaking out of his forehead, he said hastily, “Fine, I promise you that I will find a way to make your mother admit the truth. I hope that you are calm and rational enough to not get yourself killed before that!”

“Let’s go. Li Linghai is about to come!”

Li Yao knew it was time to leave. He dragged Li Jialing and took him to hide in the thunderstorm.

There were too many broken stones and rugged ravines in the thunderstorm they were in. They were all places where they could hide. With Li Yao’s delicate control over the spiritual energy right now, it was not a difficult task at all to conceal the scent and waves from him and Li Jialing.

When they hid in the mud at the deepest part of a ravine and adjusted their body temperatures to exactly the same as the environment, the young man hadn’t recovered from the shock yet and found his performance just now hard to believe. “I-I really checkmated Li Lingfeng just now and forced him to concede? Why do I feel that Li Lingfeng is rather weird today and does not have his usual sense of oppression at all? Even his computational ability seems to have dropped, and he doesn’t seem tricky to deal with at all?”

“It is not a matter of oppression or computational ability, and he did not suddenly turn stupid.”

Li Yao said with a smile, “It was only because his absolute capabilities had hit rock bottom, and he was left with no choices under such circumstances.

“Think about it, the Li Lingfeng that you were faced with was the ‘future Kurfürst’, who was deeply trusted by the family and boasted the slaughter stream platform and the Heavenly Eye Group. He had the best cards in his hands, and when you played a game with him, he could easily throttle you with a few random cards.

“But right now, he has run into a dead-end and lost everything. Not only are his base and his family’s trust gone, but he is also being hunted by his dreadful sister. How do you expect him to play a game with you when his head may fall from his neck at any moment?

“Even the best cook cannot make food without ingredients. Strength is the basis of everything. Both deceptions and acting skills are just petty tricks. Their effects can only be maximized under the support of magnificent strength. If you have a handful of worst cards, it is absolutely useless however you bluff your enemy.

“The thing about humans is that they always tend to believe what they are willing to believe. For Li Lingfeng right now, does he have any choice other than believing that the two of us are cooperating with him sincerely? As the saying goes, a dying patient will go to every doctor possible. That is exactly the case right now.”

“That explains a lot. The man couldn’t have foreseen he would be as miserable as today, could he?”

Greatly enlightened, Li Jialing couldn’t help but put on a gloating smile. He then glanced at Li Yao again and asked suspiciously, “But speaking of which, are you a Cultivator or an Immortal Cultivator, Brother Yao? Why do I feel that you were lying to me at the beginning and speaking the truth to Li Lingfeng just now?”

Li Yao said, “Are you serious? I am an out-and-out Cultivator. Trust me. I was deceiving him, not you!”

“But I don’t think that you being a Cultivator makes any sense. It will be more logical if you are an Immortal Cultivator, or a dark assassin and a ‘ghost warrior’ raised by a powerful force such as the four Kurfürst families.”

The young man said solemnly, “As you said so yourself just now, even the morons who have nothing but water in their heads would not believe that you are a Cultivator!”

Li Yao: “… This issue is very complicated, absurd, and hard to explain. I’ll explain to you later if we have the chance. Anyway, you can trust me for now. Just look how righteous, merciful, generous, and kindhearted Brother Yao’s style is. How can I not be a Cultivator?”

Li Jialing: “…”

Li Yao: “This is just a minor joke to lighten the mood in case you are feeling low. All in all, we can leave my identity aside and focus on you first. You have just heard many great secrets. Don’t… Don’t feel too sad!”

After a brief moment of silence, the young man said softly while biting his lips, “There is nothing to be sad about. In fact, after all those years of secret procedures, and because of the incomplete weird barriers inside my head, I had vaguely guessed that my gene provider was no random Immortal Cultivators but an eminent person in the family.

“Besides, Li Lingfeng obviously held ill intentions when he raised me without bothering the costs. I’m only a teenager, and it’s impossible for me to break into the Divinity Transformation Stage however he refined me. I couldn’t be of much help to him in terms of combat ability, so the answer was obvious. My origins were extraordinary and somewhat valuable for Li Lingfeng.

“So, after learning that one of my gene providers was Li Linghai, queen of the Imperium, I honestly did not feel much, except that I should’ve thought of it earlier.

“However, it was truly beyond my expectations that she tried to kill me multiple times.”

Li Yao put his hand on the young man’s shoulder and sensed the quiver of his every muscle in silence.

Li Jialing pushed Li Yao’s hand away softly. Putting on a stubborn smile, he pretended that he did not care about it. “However, it doesn’t matter now. I never had much hope for my birth parents after all.

“If you never have hope, you will never be disappointed; if you never trust anyone, you will never be deceived or betrayed by anyone; if you have foreseen the darkest future, you will not be too painful when the darkness does arrive. They are the doctrines that I lived by to survive all those years, and I will continue to abide by them in the future and live a good life!”

Looking at the tooth marks on the young man’s lips and the shimmers in his eyes as he pretended to be tough, Li Yao did not know what to say. After a long daze, he finally said, “At the very least, you can trust me. I will never deceive you or harm you!”

Hunger flashed in Li Jialing’s eyes. “Really?”

Li Yao replied resolutely, “Yes. I swear that even if Li Linghai does not treat you as a son, Brother Yao can still be your only family. You can absolutely trust me. Absolutely!”

Li Jialing: “Alright. Then, Brother Yao, please tell me honestly where you came from, who you are, why you are here, and whether or not you know my birth father.”

Li Yao: “Well…”

Li Jialing smiled. “Forget it. I know that you do not want to talk about it right now. I’ll just believe you one more time, considering that you would rather hesitate than make up a random lie to trick me, Brother Yao!”

Li Yao smiled too, and he took a long breath in relief. “That’s right. I’ll reveal the answers to all your questions at an appropriate moment. But right now, I only want to stress that you must not absolutely trust Li Lingfeng. I always feel that your mother Li Linghai is not a completely bad person. Or rather, even if she has done some irregular things, she might have her reasons.”

Li Jialing nodded his head. “I never trusted Li Lingfeng 100% in the first place. That was why I asked him to confront Li Linghai and tell us the truth!”

Li Yao said, “That’s good. No matter what, I hope you can give your mother, as well as yourself, an opportunity!”

The young man was silent for a moment. He replied, one word after another, “I know what you mean. I am just me. I will not become Li Lingfeng or Li Linghai; I will always be Li Jialing!”

While two of them were talking, the thunders far away were already running close like a torrent outbreak!

Hundreds of bolts of lightning were twisted and reflected, constituting a bridge of the void at the altitude dozens of meters from the ground!

The clouds nearby were all vaporized into colorful mists, which spread out in rings and resisted the agitated spiritual energy and the disordered magnetic field. A small world, which was absolutely unaffected no matter how great the thunderstorm in the outside world was, had been created!

A pure white, flawless, and glittering crystal suit, stepping on the bridge made of lightning, walked to the three escapees through the colorful mists transformed from clouds. historical

The white and flawless crystal suit seemed to have absorbed all the violent energy between the sky and the earth the moment it showed up. The pouring rain and the lightning were suppressed. Even the crazily shaking tornadoes were frozen and completely destroyed after her entrance!

The ripples of spiritual energy that escaped from the broken tornadoes turned into visible streaks of brightness as they flew and hovered around the white crystal suit, as if they were building a special altar or a glamorous throne for her!

Wow, such a dominating vibe!

Li Yao secretly clicked his tongue. He examined the white crystal suit on Li Linghai’s body carefully, only to discover no gap at all. It seemed to be carved out of a whole piece of natural white jade. The features of naturalness, simplicity, and smoothness were best carried out, giving the weird feeling that the crystal suit had no loopholes at all and no place for other people to land their attacks on.

Some of the raindrops occasionally fell on the crystal suit, only to raise colorful ripples on the surface of the pure white crystal suit, as if diamond shields were rising.

Li Yao had never seen such a weird material before. It might also be concerned with certain primeval treasures or some amazing refining technologies that he had never heard of before.

The basic performance of the crystal suit alone should be better than his Mystic Skeleton Blood Wing. The queen’s acuity and delicate control of “domain” were also incomparable to him, who had only been in the Divinity Transformation Stage for only a couple of days.

The queen of the Imperium of True Human Beings turned out to be so strong. No wonder Li Lingfeng was terrified of his sister although he was at the high level of the Divinity Transformation Stage!

Li Lingfeng was sitting cross-legged on a rising dais between two ravines. Instead of running, he had stabbed a shiny saber before him and unleashed overwhelming spiritual energy. Burning his life and soul, he had boosted himself to the strongest state, as if he were about to fight one last battle with Li Linghai.
