"Li Advisor, this... where exactly are we going?"

"Your Majesty, haven’t you understood the situation yet? At this moment, why do you feign ignorance?"

The Emperor was taken aback, but soon regained his composure, his expression turning surprisingly cold.

"I did not expect that, after so many years, I would meet Li Advisor again like this, it’s indeed thought-provoking..."

Li Yankong glanced at the other party and remained silent.

A sense of injustice still lingered in his heart; after all, in his past life, he was the leader of a noble family, a top existence in the human world.

After reincarnation, he had become a mere old soldier.

If not for the impending catastrophe of heaven and earth, would he still be trapped in such a lowly cycle of reincarnation for countless lives?

But now, after seeing the person before him, he had come to understand much more.

The Emperor from the era of the Sorcerer Dynasty, who was sought after by numerous noble families and whose noble bloodline was beyond comparison to ordinary people, was now living as a decrepit old man.

What complaints could he, Li Yankong, possibly have?

"Indeed, it’s quite thought-provoking..."

"I remember that Advisor once escaped, didn’t you?"

"Hmm..."

"Did you survive?"

"I struggled to live for a while..."

"What happened to the Sorcerer Dynasty afterwards? How did those Elders disappear?"

This he could not comprehend; on that day, the army led by the Legacy Inheritance Elder was invincible, perhaps even a match for the resurgence of the Ancient Forces. How could such a dynasty simply cease to exist?

"I do not know..." Li Yankong shook his head: "We have been reduced to mere ants for too long. Only those who successfully escape are qualified to know what this world is truly like."

"What you say is true..."

The Little Emperor showed a smile, his tone gentle, but a hint of coldness flickered deep in his eyes, as he had noticed something since earlier—the other party had not once referred to himself as a subject!

"Advisor, do you have a way to escape?"

"There’s no great assurance at the moment, just a direction. Please follow me closely, Your Majesty, and close off your five senses to avoid further temptation!"

"Close off the five senses?" The Little Emperor was puzzled: "Then... how do we escape?"

"I will lead Your Majesty continuously, please trust me."

"Li Advisor..." The Little Emperor hesitated as he looked at the other party: "It’s not that I don’t trust you, but this matter... surely you must give me an explanation?"

So it’s not that you don’t trust me?

A flicker of impatience appeared in Li Yankong’s eyes. Noticing that the next dream sequence hinted at by the Buddhist mother was about to begin, he said solemnly: "Everyone here isn’t truly returning to the past, but rather, has been drawn into a dreamscape."

"A dreamscape?" The Little Emperor frowned: "So realistic?"

"Otherwise, why would it be known as a Great Power Technique?

" Li Yankong, seeing the next dream sequence approaching, quickly said: "Armed with Ancient Power, Your Majesty has a profound legacy. There’s no need for me to explain.

If you want to get out now, we must hurry to rescue more people to prevent them from being plundered by the Ancients, or else we will all become their blood nourishment. "

"The situation is urgent, and I can’t explain in too much detail. All that can be said is that currently, only I am immune to that monster’s interference. Others are more or less susceptible to its temptations. Your Majesty, if you don’t want to be deluded, it would be best to listen to me."

The Emperor had spent over twenty years dealing with the machinations of the noble families; his intellect was not inferior and he quickly detected the impatience in his counterpart’s tone, realizing the predicament at hand.

The other party wasn’t saving him out of any past loyalty between monarch and subject, but to prevent the temple’s Ancient Forces from gaining too much power.

With this in mind, he obediently closed his eyes, sensing that if he showed any further doubt, the other party would not hesitate to abandon him.

For now, let this man bask in his moment of pride!

At least he knows his place...

Seeing the Emperor’s compliance, Li Yankong sighed with slight relief.

If the Emperor continued to be distrustful, he would not hesitate to abandon him.

This fellow, chosen by the Holy Clan to be Emperor, though not as capable as the Elders, was still exceptional among his peers.

After reigning for twenty years and having accumulated many resources, if his abilities had already been restored, Li Yankong would probably not be his match.

Once this fellow gets beguiled and suddenly turns against me, I truly have no solution...

The woman said that time was precious; from the moment I revealed myself, she would be exposed as well, and the Buddha would then frantically search for her location.

Because maintaining the base power of the dream realm requires proximity, neither the Buddhist mother nor the Joyful Buddha can stray too far away.

The town isn’t that large, no matter how well one can hide, it wouldn’t last long, leaving me with not much time!

--------------------------------------

"This location isn’t very hidden, is it?" Chen Qing looked at the other party.

At this moment, the Buddhist mother was quickly selecting the people she wanted to save. Chen Qing glanced over and saw that there were about eight people, and all of those he had initially gathered were among them.

Those four were extremely important, so it’s no wonder that Li Yankong had taken the initiative to find them. At first, I thought Li Yankong had an exceptional eye, but now it seems more likely to be the influence of the Buddhist mother.

Among these four, one was a descendant of the Sorcerer Dynasty, a bloodline warlord with once the greatest power; one had a sword spirit nurtured by the obsession with swordsmanship that sprang up during the era of the Dragon Palace, the most formidable demon with the highest limit.

Another was a top Grand Sorcerer with the ability of divining the future through Mysterious Astrology, bearing the shadow of golem power.

These four can be considered among the best in terms of aptitude from the billions of years of Buddha’s collection, with extremely high potential. They are the Four Great Avatars that the Joyful Buddha intends to cultivate in this life.

Clearly, the minimum requirement is to rescue those four.

"Elder, where do you think a safe location would be? Amidst the crowd?" the woman asked in return.

"That depends on whether the opponent is a suspicious person. If so, he would think of this and instead start searching from within the crowd..."

"Elder is indeed a wise person, able to draw out the junior’s words with just one sentence."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing laughed a little. To be honest, he wasn’t really used to being called ’Elder’ by others; maybe it was due to his lack of experience, having been used to humbleness not long ago, looking up to everyone as ’Elder’.

Now in Heaven Defying Big Dipper, it indeed felt unfamiliar.

"It seems you understand the other party’s personality quite well..."

Guessing locations is essentially a mental game between two parties. The town is not large; finding the two of us is only a matter of time, but where to start searching first can determine how long it will take. And in the current situation, the length of time will decide victory or defeat!

"After all, I’ve followed for so many years..." The Buddhist mother smiled as she watched Li Yankong in the image who had rescued three people in just a quarter of an hour. She had indeed not chosen the wrong person.

But when the other party jumped to the next person, the scene inside caused her to pause for a moment.

This time, it was somewhat different from the others around.

All the previous people’s scenarios were at their critical life and death juncture, seduced by the Buddhist mother in the guise of various women, revealing everything.

But this one was different.

The Sword Spirit, it doesn’t have any lustful intentions.

And the person opposite him... was not transformed by her either!

That person....

Chen Qing was also startled; Sword Spirit was originally killed by Ao Zhen, which was the most perilous battle in Ao Zhen’s memory.

He had heard it many times and thought that the Sword Spirit’s scene of impending death was likely the Buddhist mother seducing the other as Ao Zhen.

But that didn’t seem right; would a demon born out of swordsmanship succumb to such temptations?

And moreover... he suddenly noticed something incredible.

The Ao Zhen in that dream realm... had a divine seal!!

A divine seal... is the mark of joining the Divine Path Sect. How could this Ao Zhen in the dream realm have such a thing?
