Chapter 714 - Breakthrough

Li Huowang now understood why Xuan Pin had given him this gift, but he didn’t buy Xuan Pin’s explanation.

“Allies? Then why did you wait until now to give it to me?”

“You think this is a lifespan pill that we can find everywhere? This is an artifact that I had to refine using numerous other rare treasures.”

“Bullshit. This is just an illusion. What kind of treasure would you have to use?”

Li Huowang walked towards the carriage while the mirror floated by his side.

“Everything has a form in this profound world, including illusions. In fact, one could even refine them. Honestly, you are not as good at using illusions as I am,” Xuan Pin said.

In the end, Li Huowang never said anything about letting the incident regarding the Earth Dragon go, but Xuan Pin didn’t need him to say it out loud. Xuan Pin knew his goal had been achieved based on Li Huowang’s tone.

He refused to say it out loud, but Li Huowang had to admit that the mirror Xuan Pin gave him was very useful.

With the artifact, he could see the battlefield easily and even save some strength. At the very least, he could follow the path the soldiers had walked past.

Even though the path was covered in corpses, wild dogs, and vultures, they no longer had to worry about any ambushes since the soldiers had killed everything in their path. The White Lotus Sect members following Li Huowang sighed in relief.

Thanks to the artifact, they were able to walk through a path without enemies and reach the frontline faster than expected.

Sensing that they were close to the front lines, their dinner for the night was more extravagant than usual.

It was soon nighttime, but Li Huowang was woken up by Bai Lingmiao.

“There’s fish?” Li Huowang stared at the wild vegetable fish soup in his bowl. The milky white soup looked delicious.

“There’s a lot more rivers in Si Qi. Suisui was the one who hunted the fish. She’s really skillful underwater and chose the larger ones.”

Li Huowang nodded and ate his meal quickly. He also occasionally glanced at the battlefield covered in corpses.

Bai Lingmiao saw the scab that resembled fish scales on Li Huowang's face and frowned. “Senior Li, what do you intend to do once we are at the frontlines?”

“Oh, we are not going to the frontlines. That’s a place for the soldiers, not us,” Li Huowang said as he chewed on the fish.

“Why? Mom and Second Mom are very strong.” Li Sui was confused.

“Because the battle later will be very intense. I don’t want to get them involved.”

Li Huowang didn’t know how many experts were in the Dharma Sect or how many Simings were working together. He only knew that the Dharma Sect was very dangerous.

Bai Lingmiao survived last time, but she had to pay a terrible price, causing her to look like an amalgamation of beast and human. He knew that it would be dangerous later, so he didn’t want her to risk her life anymore.

Even though Bai Lingmiao would hate him for this, it would be better than losing her life.

Li Sui nodded. “Alright.”

“We need to be quiet now. Your Mom might not be able to see with her eyes, but her ears are very sharp.” Li Huowang held onto Li Sui’s hand and walked away.

He had just entered the forest when he heard someone above him.

“Dad? Who were you talking to?”

Li Huowang paused and looked up. He suddenly realized that the sky was not the same anymore. It was a reflection of the surface he was walking on!

Li Sui was jumping on top of a tree in an attempt to reach Li Huowang.

Li Huowang looked at the inverted Li Sui and then looked at the Li Sui whose hand he was holding.

He looked around and saw that everything had been reflected. The Li Sui beside Li Huowang held his hands tighter as she looked at Li Huowang with confusion and fear. “Dad?”

Then, her body disappeared.

Li Huowang looked at the Li Sui above him and then at his now-empty right hand, realization dawning on him.

Everything around him started to become fake, and Li Huowang started falling “upwards.”

He quickly landed on the ground. When he landed, he looked up and saw the reflection of the land above him gradually disappearing.

He checked his body and realized that his cultivation had progressed. His primordial breath was now sitting in his Heart Chakra!
