Zhao Li's transmitted information took Yao Chen a long time to process.
Although he belonged to the Good and Lawful Alignment, the concept of the strong being revered on the Dou Qi Continent was deeply ingrained in his Soul. Seeing that Zhao Li was actually going to betray his own class and Impart Techniques to the Continent, he was completely stunned. He couldn't understand what benefit Zhao Li could gain from doing this, other than making other strong individuals hostile towards him.
Over the past few years with Xiao Yan, his biggest feeling was that he had only been dead for a few decades, but everything outside seemed different from when he was alive. He had been constantly adapting to these changes. But even so, he still felt it was like a dream. When did the strong start caring about the thoughts of the weak, or how they lived their lives?
Perhaps my Realm isn't high enough to understand the thoughts of true大佬, but if the Continent could really become like that, it wouldn't be bad.
After a long time, Yao Chen finally finished processing the information in his mind. He looked at Zhao Li with very complex emotions: confusion, curiosity, reverence, admiration...
He didn't understand what Zhao Li was after, and he was curious why Zhao Li had such thoughts. But at the same time, he also admired people who dared to challenge the world's perception and bring about change.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the thoughts flashing through his mind, and promised:
"Master, rest assured. This time, my disciple and I will do our best to let them step out of the Eastern Region, step out of Great Li."
The task Zhao Li gave him wasn't difficult. He just needed to arrange some small tasks for Xiao Yan as part of his Training, guiding him eastward. Only by reaching there could the true Imparting Techniques begin.
This prerequisite task wouldn't hinder Xiao Yan's growth; it even added some difficulty. But the current Xiao Yan should be able to complete it.
Zhao Li nodded, chuckled softly, and said:
"This is not something that can be accomplished overnight; there's no need to rush. Just do your best."
Saying this, he looked at Yun Shan and said:
"You've been idle for quite a few years. Go back to the Jade Capital first, have a good exchange with them, update your knowledge base, and bring some people back to improve the Jia Ma Empire's productivity."
Yun Shan agreed. Although he had worked hard, the current Jia Ma Empire was still far behind Great Li.
Xiao Yan could understand every single word the few of them said, but when put together, he had no idea what they were talking about. He could only look from one to another. Then, his pupils constricted. In just the blink of an eye, Zhao Li was gone.
Yao Chen and the other person seemed to have known this would happen. They exchanged a look and also bid farewell. This time, Xiao Yan went all out, soaring through the sky. After they were far away, Xiao Yan finally couldn't help but call out to Yao Chen in his mind, asking about what happened earlier:
"Teacher, what were you talking about just now? Why were you being so mysterious?"
Yao Chen's voice echoed in his mind:
"No need to ask too much. You are too weak; knowing too much is not good. Hmm, this time was an accident; your Strength increased too quickly. You need to undergo some good Training. Let me think, the Black Corner Region happens to be a good place for Training, and the Jia Nan Academy is also there..."
This was both the truth and an excellent excuse to push Xiao Yan. After all, Devouring the Heavenly Flame this time was truly beyond his expectations, and Xiao Yan really needed to be tempered properly.
Moreover, he could sense a trace of Spiritual Energy occasionally escaping from Xiao Yan's Soul Power. This was already touching the threshold of the Spirit Realm and shouldn't be wasted. It was also time to update his Alchemy Technique.
Xiao Yan didn't know that he had been completely arranged. Hearing Yao Chen's words, he only felt at ease. Even his earlier curiosity was suppressed. He silently said:
"Teacher, thank you."
And so, the evolved Xiao Yan began his Training Route once more...
Meanwhile, after leaving the Snake People Royal City, Zhao Li had already arrived at Ancient Saint City. To say who could become a Dou Di the fastest right now, besides his own wife, it would be Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi. Even Zhu Kun, due to being cut off from the outside world in the underground Space, was a step slower than these two.
Giving a Sermon and Imparting Techniques, of course, had to start with these two. However, since the things were in his hands, how they were given out was naturally up to him. This could serve as leverage to make them cooperate, lest Comrade Xiao Yan start with hell difficulty.
Zhao Li didn't notice that his appearance caused everyone who saw him to focus their gaze on him. There was no other reason: flying was prohibited within a thousand miles of Ancient Saint City. Otherwise, under the pressure of Ancient Saint City's protective Grand Formation, even Dou Sheng powerhouses might not be able to withstand it.
But Zhao Li landed directly above Ancient Saint City. This action was, firstly, disrespecting Dou Di powerhouses, and secondly, equivalent to provoking the Gu Clan!
At the Gate of Ancient Saint City, two rows of Armored Soldiers stood with spears. The leader noticed Zhao Li but surprisingly didn't lose his composure. He himself was already a Dou Venerate powerhouse, but he couldn't see through Zhao Li. Moreover, Zhao Li could withstand the pressure of the protective Grand Formation and stand in the air, clearly possessing extremely strong Strength, far beyond what he could handle.
He first took out a Communication Talisman to notify the Clan's powerhouses before speaking to Zhao Li:
"Senior, flying is prohibited within a thousand miles of Ancient Saint City. Please give our Gu Clan some face, Senior, and do not break the rules."
Although he was wary of Zhao Li, his duty compelled him to speak. He had tried his best to keep his tone calm to avoid making Zhao Li feel targeted, but more or less, he still felt some unfriendliness towards this person who disregarded the Gu Clan's dignity.
Fortunately, Zhao Li wasn't here to cause trouble. Hearing this, he indeed saw that everyone else was below him, looking at him with strange gazes, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
He nodded, about to descend, when an extremely overbearing voice came:
"How audacious! I'd like to see what ability you have to dare provoke my Clan!"
The person hadn't arrived, but their voice came first. Immediately after, a sturdy figure wearing special Black Armor suddenly broke through the Space and immediately threw a fierce punch towards Zhao Li. Under his fist, a vast aura like a Mountain Range rushed forward, directly shattering The Void.
Zhao Li's expression slightly darkened. He had no intention of causing trouble. Not to mention that the protective Grand Formation was merely set up by an Ancient Emperor; even if an Ancient Emperor were reborn, it wouldn't make him feel any pressure. But hearing the newcomer's tone and observing the Momentum in his hand, he was clearly being treated as an enemy directly, with no restraint whatsoever.
In fact, although Gu Lie didn't use his full strength, he indeed didn't hold back. He didn't care who the newcomer was. He only knew that anyone who dared to disregard the rules of Ancient Saint City was provoking the Gu Clan and had to pay the corresponding price. If Zhao Li couldn't withstand this attack, then he would die. If he could withstand it, then they could discuss other things.
Indeed, on this Continent, where are the truly good people? Being willing to be lawful is merely because it doesn't conflict with one's own interests.
Zhao Li sighed softly in his heart. As early as when he entered the Stone Clan, he was very disgusted by the Ancient Imperial Clans' almost Domestication-like treatment of their Descendants. But at that time, he still thought it was because the Stone Clan only existed as a backdrop and was different from the other clans. Now it seemed there wasn't much difference.
He looked at the indifferent expression on the newcomer's face and suddenly felt a sense of Lack of Interest. The Gu Clan, which had seemed decent back then, was nothing special in his eyes now. They were even less able to capture his attention than the Mortals of Great Li.
Even though there was a powerhouse like Gu Yuan in the Gu Clan, in Zhao Li's eyes, he was essentially no different from these people. They were all just Ants.
He slowly shook his head and said softly:
"Imprisonment!"
As if Words Became Law, with the sound of his voice, everything here was frozen!
