Chapter 378: Immortal Emperor Wanqi Leaves Seclusion

Lu Ren was leading the high-ranking members of the Time and Space Holy Land as they stood to one side, watching Wu Li and Qin Wan with great interest.

No matter the circumstances, being seen embracing by others would feel quite embarrassing, and Wu Li and Qin Wan were no exception.

Thus, the next second, Wu Li and Qin Wan hurriedly let go of each other.

"Senior Lu, may I ask if there is something you need?"

Wu Li calmly put away the Time-Space Clock before looking at Lu Ren to ask.

Seeing this, Lu Ren couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't say anything. If the Time-Space Clock could be put to better use in Wu Li's hands, then let it remain with him.

Besides, he still had an Ember Extinction Mystic Pearl.

"Look, you have already made the Time-Space Clock ring nine times. In my Time and Space Holy Land, there is a rule that whoever makes the Time-Space Clock ring nine times must become the Saint of my Time and Space Holy Land. Therefore, are you willing to become the Saint of my Time and Space Holy Land?"

Hearing this, Wu Li couldn't help but frown, and it was a long while before he spoke hesitantly.

"Senior Lu, isn't my current Realm unsuitable for this?"

Wu Li had already reached the Immortal Venerable Peak, just one step away from becoming an Immortal Emperor. Under these circumstances, it would be somewhat inappropriate for him to become the Saint of the Time and Space Holy Land.

Seeing this, Lu Ren waved his hand dismissively and said.

"What is inappropriate about it? Besides, you have already taken the Time-Space Clock; it wouldn't be right to leave nothing behind. Rest assured, this is just a title. You don't need to do anything; you only need to help out if my Time and Space Holy Land encounters a life-or-death crisis."

Since Lu Ren had put it this way, Wu Li felt it would be unreasonable not to agree. Although the Time-Space Clock belonged to him, the Time and Space Holy Land had kept it safe for him for such a long time, so agreeing wouldn't hurt.

"In that case, I accept. But Senior Lu, are you certain that you really don't need me to do anything?"

Wu Li confirmed once more.

"Rest assured, there is absolutely nothing you need to do."

Lu Ren patted his chest and promised earnestly.

With that, Wu Li officially became the Saint of the Time and Space Holy Land. Wu Tiankun and Lu Mengyuan, who were nearby, couldn't help but step forward to offer their congratulations.

"Congratulations! Li'er, you have become the Saint of the Time and Space Holy Land. I never expected to have the chance to see a Saint appear in the Holy Land."

"Fifth Aunt, you are joking; it was just luck."

Wu Li said, attributing it to luck.

Nearby, Wu Daotian couldn't help but be shocked upon hearing Wu Li's words. Good heavens, he hadn't expected his cousin to actually be a "Luck Brother."

Indeed, if he weren't a "Luck Brother," it would be completely inexplicable for an ordinary person to have such cheat-like performance.

"However, so what if he is a 'Luck Brother'? I am a Transmigrator, not inferior to him. Wait, it seems like he might be a Transmigrator too?"

Wu Daotian thought to himself. Perhaps it was time to find an opportunity to verify the secret code with his cousin. After all, based on his understanding of "Luck Brother," as long as he knew they were fellow countrymen, his rise to power would be a certainty.

Thinking of this, Wu Daotian felt excited, but clearly, now was not the time to exchange secret codes. It wouldn't be good if his parents noticed something amiss.

"Ahem, alright everyone. Do not spread the news about Wu Li becoming the Saint of my Time and Space Holy Land. After all, among the Five Great Holy Lands, only my Time and Space Holy Land currently lacks a Saint. This can serve as a trump card to surprise them later."

Lu Ren looked at the elders of the Time and Space Holy Land who were becoming excited, and upon hearing this, they nodded one after another.

"Holy Master, we understand."

"Alright, in that case, you may all disperse."

As Lu Ren's words were conveyed, the elders at the scene quickly dispersed. After they had all left, Lu Ren looked at Wu Li and spoke.

"Unless necessary, the Holy Land will not make you come back."

"Understood."

Wu Li nodded in agreement and then left with Qin Wan.

Lu Ren couldn't help but look at Wu Li's retreating figure, inwardly comparing Wu Li with Wu Yifan.

"I wonder if Wu Li will be as fierce when he breaks through to the Immortal Emperor Realm."

Lu Ren still vividly remembered the day when Wu Yifan descended like a Heavenly God, crushing the Blood Emperor while only at the Immortal Emperor Early Stage. Although Wu Yifan was only that powerful because he had transformed his Ancient Sacred Body into an Ancient Desolate Dao Body.

But Wu Li wasn't bad either. As far as he knew, Wu Li possessed the Space-Time Divine Body. Although he also had the Space-Time Divine Body, he always felt there was a more powerful Physique above it, and he wondered if Wu Li could transform his Space-Time Divine Body into something beyond it.

Wu Li, however, was unaware of Lu Ren's thoughts. After Awakening the memories of the Space-Time God Emperor, he naturally knew that the Space-Time Divine Body was not the pinnacle; the pinnacle of all things was the Dao.

At its strongest, the Space-Time Divine Body could transform into the Time-Space Dao Body. He was the Time-Space Dao Body in his past life, but in this life, he lacked the necessary resources.

"Sigh, what a hassle; I have to find the resources myself."

Wu Li couldn't help but complain inwardly.

The Time-Space Dao Body did not have five stages like the Ancient Desolate Dao Body; once cultivated, it was a perfect Physique.

However, this also destined that the resources required for the Space-Time Divine Body to transform into the Time-Space Dao Body were terrifyingly vast. Even in his past life, he hadn't gathered a second set.

"Sigh, it seems I still need to collect resources."

Wu Li sighed, looking dejected.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Wan, who was nearby, noticed Wu Li's low mood and couldn't help but ask softly.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about how we should proceed in the future."

"Things will work out in the end, it's fine."

"Yeah, it's fine."

"Sect Master, someone is investigating the events of that year."

Meanwhile, inside the Limitless Sect, a powerhouse at the Immortal Venerable Middle Stage was kneeling on one knee before the Limitless Immortal Emperor, speaking respectfully.

Hearing this, the Limitless Immortal Emperor couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Who is it? Have you eliminated them?"

"The person is Qin Yuyan, who followed Chu Yang Immortal Emperor back then. She escaped from my hands after paying a price, but she was severely injured."

The Immortal Venerable Middle Stage powerhouse said respectfully with his head bowed.

Upon hearing that it was Qin Yuyan, the Limitless Immortal Emperor's expression turned ugly. If the events of that year were exposed, even his Limitless Sect would face a great deal of controversy.

Thinking of this, murderous intent rose in the Limitless Immortal Emperor's eyes; he had to eliminate her.

The Limitless Immortal Emperor waved his hand, and before long, an Elder at the Immortal Emperor Early Stage arrived. Upon arriving, he spoke in a respectful tone.

"Sect Master, what is it?"

"Elder Zhou, Qin Yuyan has started investigating the events of that year. You should know what to do."

The Limitless Immortal Emperor said in a flat tone.

Hearing this, Elder Zhou's expression also changed slightly, but he quickly understood the severity of the matter. If it were exposed, their Limitless Sect would definitely face controversy, and perhaps even the Five Great Holy Lands would intervene.

Thinking of this, Elder Zhou nodded.

"I understand, Sect Master. I will make Qin Yuyan disappear without a trace."
