Chapter 2306: Another Meeting with Li Xuantu!

As a member of the imperial household, Li Xuantu could not possibly live the bland life of an ordinary person. Even in the decades he had been imprisoned by the Sage Emperor beneath the imperial prison, the Sage Emperor had still treated him like a member of the imperial household, feeding him fine delicacies and gourmet food.

Thus, the Imperial Court had only needed to slightly investigate to find Li Xuantu’s location. Li Xuantu hadn’t gone far. After leaving, he had taken up residence in a vacation palace to the northeast of the capital.

Wang Chong had learned that this villa was where Li Xuantu’s father had enjoyed summering, and in his childhood, when Li Xuantu had yet to earn his father’s ire and still got along, he was often brought here.

This vacation palace held deep significance for Li Xuantu, which was why he had chosen to stay there.

When Li Xuantu entered this villa, it had basically been completely abandoned. Very few maids and eunuchs remained, and many parts of it had not been repaired for many years.

There were numerous vacation palaces like this, accumulated over many years.

Once Li Xuantu occupied it, Li Heng did not punish him. On the contrary, he sent people to repair the vacation palace, trying to restore it to the state that Li Xuantu remembered it to be in. In addition, he also sent maids and guards to attend on Li Xuantu. All of this was done quietly and without the slightest noise.

Li Xuantu didn’t ask too many questions and Li Heng didn’t disturb him. The two of them maintained a calm harmony.

After learning what had happened from Li Heng, Wang Chong had praised his actions.

Li Xuantu wasn’t a good Crown Prince, but he wasn’t some wicked evildoer, and he was also a member of the imperial household. This was a very good ending for him.

Buzz!

In a flash of light, Wang Chong appeared in the repaired palace. With its painted beams and elegant decor, it had a very peaceful and secluded atmosphere.

When Wang Chong entered, there were ten-some eunuchs and maids sweeping the floor. This sudden newcomer gave them a fright, and their jaws dropped in confusion and disbelief.

But Wang Chong quickly scanned the room and turned his attention to a black-robed and slender middle-aged man seated above.

Li Xuantu!

This Li Xuantu had lost some of his domineering attitude and seemed more relaxed. It was like he had shed his impurities and returned to simplicity.

“You’re here. Did I not say that I was not to be disturbed?”

Li Xuantu sat in his spacious armchair, and though he had sensed a newcomer in the hall, he did not even raise his head as he lightly sipped his tea. It was like nothing in the world was of concern to him.

“Heh, you still remember me. At least Heaven hasn’t wiped your memories yet!”

Wang Chong grinned and walked over, stopping only half a step away from Li Xuantu.

“Leave. I’m not welcoming guests. Moreover, I remember telling you very clearly that you were not to disturb me, and that I did not like being disturbed.”

Li Xuantu continued to sip his tea, not raising his head.

Wang Chong looked down at Li Xuantu and sternly said, “Don’t tell me that you’re completely unaware of what’s happened in the capital.”

Li Xuantu was someone who always wanted to do things the hard way. Courtesy and meekness were pointless with him, and Wang Chong had no plans to waste time with him.

“What does it matter if I know? Your two Divine Embryos and all the experts in the capital joined together, but did Heaven not still defeat them? Li Taiyi couldn’t deal with him, so why do you think that I can? And why should I help you?”

Li Xuantu finally raised his head, looking at Wang Chong with a sneering glance.

Though he no longer sought the throne, he hadn’t fallen so far as to fight for Li Taiyi’s son.

Wang Chong thought too highly of himself!

“It doesn’t matter if you agree or not, but once Heaven succeeds, he’ll be moving to you next, and how could anyone permit another to snore away on their bed? Do you really think that Heaven will let you freely live here?

“I know that you’re not willing to be ordered around by the previous Emperor’s children. Perhaps you’re more willing to be brainwashed and controlled by Heaven, made into his slave,” Wang Chong savagely responded, coldly chuckling.

Harsh laws were needed in a chaotic world. At this perilous stage, Wang Chong had no intention to be polite with Li Xuantu.

Buzz!

Li Xuantu had been calmly sipping on his tea, but Wang Chong’s words made his fingers clench, shattering the tea cup to pieces. Li Xuantu’s face turned dark, losing its contented indifference.

Even though he knew that Wang Chong was intentionally provoking him, he found it hard to control his emotions.

“Heh, Your Highness Crown Prince is wise, so you should understand this principle. Moreover, Heaven has already wiped out any trace of my and the Wang family’s existence. If he wants to wipe out Li Heng and Your Highness Crown Prince and make himself Emperor, it would be entirely within his capabilities. When the time comes, even this calm and tasteless life would not be possible for Your Highness,” Wang Chong indifferently said.

Wang Chong stared at Li Xuantu throughout, taking in every shift in his face. He was not trying to coax Li Xuantu or make random speculations. What he was speaking was the truth, a truth that both he and Li Xuantu keenly understood.

Li Xuantu said nothing, but his slightly frowning brow said it all.

Li Xuantu truly didn’t like to be disturbed, but Wang Chong was not the only one trying to disturb him. And in the end, he was still a part of the House of Li.

“What do you plan to do?” Li Xuantu finally said.

At this, a smile appeared in Wang Chong’s eyes.

Buzz!

A few moments later, all that was left on the table was a cooling cup of tea. Li Xuantu had vanished, and another figure had appeared within the halo divine tool.

Red light overflowed within the halo divine tool, and higher universal energy filled the space.

Even Li Xuantu couldn’t help but be struck by this sight.

Wang Chong’s progress in martial arts left even Li Xuantu taking another look at him. In terms of talent, it wouldn’t be excessive to say that one would not be able to find this talent within ten thousand people.

But Li Xuantu quickly got ahold of himself.

“Heaven is far too powerful. While I arrived too late to participate in the battle in the capital, I was able to see what happened. Even with all three of your Divine Embryos and my own strength, we’re still no match for him!” Li Xuantu sternly said.

Wang Chong truly possessed outstanding strength and enough talent to stand proudly over the world, but this still wasn’t enough to deal with Heaven. After all, Heaven still had the numerous experts of the Celestial God Organization, including the Supremes.

“Though I might not be able to defeat Heaven, if we combine our strengths, we’ll at least be able to protect ourselves. With my three Divine Embryos and you, we have five experts at or near the Grotto Heaven realm. Moreover, on this trip to Sindhu, I made a few discoveries. This halo dimension is excellent for cultivating. If we cultivate together and spar, we’ll definitely be able to reach a new level,” Wang Chong sternly said.

Origin Supreme’s memories were an enormous treasury, even more valuable than the memories of other Supremes. In certain aspects, he had somewhat surpassed the other Supremes in his understanding of the Grotto Heaven realm.

Wang Chong, Li Xuantu, Origin Supreme’s memories, Genesis Supreme’s memories—all of this valuable Grotto Heaven realm information being gathered together was certain to bring them to even greater heights.

At the very least, Divine Embryos 2 and 3 had a high chance of breaking into the Grotto Heaven realm, and Li Xuantu would also benefit.

After a few moments of silence, Li Xuantu nodded. “We’ll do as you say!”

There was no better plan at the present, and besides Wang Chong, there was probably no one else on the continent that could contend against Heaven.

Buzz!

A moment later, Wang Chong’s three Divine Embryos and Li Xuantu gathered in the center of the halo dimension, assembling into a four-sided formation that was linked to this dimension.

Space trembled as Wang Chong used the halo to guide immense amounts of high-level energy into the three Divine Embryos and Li Xuantu.

Moreover, their Stellar Energies were also linked together, and Wang Chong began to share Origin Supreme’s memories with Li Xuantu.

In a duel, no one was any match for Heaven. Only if their Stellar Energies were merged together, and all of them were of the same mind, would they have any hope of defeating Heaven.

They spent half a day in Li Xuantu’s villa training with the formation, and once everything was ready, Wang Chong left the villa with Li Xuantu for the capital.

Heaven’s abilities were far too bizarre. He had been able to wipe out the memories of far too many people. This was no simple memory wipe.

And there was also the Xiangliu Formation. Wang Chong had to find out what was going on.

The Xiangliu Formation contained power left behind by the Sage Emperor. If he could activate it and take back control of the formation, Wang Chong would be far more capable of dealing with Heaven.

......

It wasn’t long before Wang Chong returned to the capital.

I’ll find a solution to this no matter what! Wang Chong resolved as he floated in the air, looking at the capital that was only ten li away.

Buzz!

With this thought, Wang Chong drew back all his energy.

From the outside, it appeared as if Wang Chong didn’t exist. He was like a wisp of wind, a mote of dust, a ray of sunlight.

Even if a Grotto Heaven realm expert had been here, they would never be able to sense his aura.
