Chapter 679: Chapter 360: Return to the Spiritual Realm, Fang Hao Breaks Through

The Emperor of Wu left, full of contentment and fighting spirit, having decided to engage in arduous cultivation for a time before settling accounts with Emperor Qi.

“Emperor Qi, you just wait!”

The Emperor of Wu left with his fighting spirit soaring.

Xu Junhe watched with a puzzled expression. What was the cause of the Emperor’s buoyant fighting spirit?

Had the elder said something to inspire him?

Li Xuan stared at the Book of Taicang in his hands, deep in thought.

Was the voice in the mysterious stone house really the owner of the Book of Taicang?

Would visiting the stone house himself be dangerous?

The strength of the master of the Book of Taicang must certainly be greater than his at present.

“The voice has disappeared. Is it truly dead? Or was it intentionally avoiding the Emperor of Wu? According to what the Emperor said, the voice seemed to be constrained, devoid of freedom.

“If that’s the case, then there is no danger. Let’s go take a look. Perhaps it will reveal some secrets of the Taicang Domain.”

Li Xuan made a decision.

In the blink of an eye, his figure vanished, and the next moment, he had arrived at the Wu Country Royal Palace, looking toward a palace.

“There’s nothing out of the ordinary!”

Li Xuan frowned; he detected nothing unusual, the Heaven and Earth Laws were normal, the Domain Dao Rule was in order, and there were no signs of any seals or constraints on powerful beings.

“Has it disappeared, or is it that with my current strength, I still cannot perceive any sign of it?”

Li Xuan fell into contemplation.

According to the Emperor of Wu, the owner of the voice seemed unware of the situation outside the stone house.

“Let’s take a look inside!”

Li Xuan made up his mind.

A figure separated from his body and entered into the palace.

Divine Martial True Body!

It was the first time he used the Divine Martial True Body. Even if there were dangers in the stone house that crushed the Divine Martial True Body, it wouldn’t affect him in the slightest.

He had altered the aura of the Divine Martial True Body to be completely different from his, to prevent tracing back to his true form through it.

Caution was still necessary!

Li Xuan’s aura was hidden, making him appear as an ordinary man, sitting in a tavern in the Capital City of Wu Country.

The Divine Martial True Body silently entered the palace and saw the ancient stone house.

Without hesitation, he walked straight in.

As he entered the stone house, Li Xuan said, “Come out and meet me.”

All was quiet; there was no response.

Seeing this, Li Xuan no longer concealed himself, and allowed his Divine Martial True Body’s aura to reveal itself. His gaze fixed on the stone house, trying to uncover its secrets.

The stone house was just made of ordinary stones, utterly mundane, as if a slightly stronger aura could turn it to dust.

“There’s something unusual about this stone house.”

Li Xuan soon discovered something extraordinary.

Indeed, the stone house seemed ordinary, but these stones had once been enveloped by the Power of Principles.

Now that the Power of Principles had dissipated, the stone house appeared entirely mundane.

It was a clue that other powerful beings might have missed, but not Li Xuan.

While he hadn’t fully mastered the Taicang Daoism, he had memorized half of it and was very familiar with its power.

“The nearly undetectable traces of the principles suggest that they disappeared not long ago and were intentionally hidden. If the principles had vanished a long time ago, there would be no such traces.”

Li Xuan quickly made a judgment.

If the Power of Principles that belonged to the stone house had long since vanished, there certainly wouldn’t be any residual traces. Even as familiar as he was with the Power of Principles, he couldn’t have detected them.

“I deployed the Great Wilderness Domain Laws, enhancing the Spiritual Energy of the Great Wilderness, only then did these Power of Principles disappear. This suggests that the other party detected that the Heaven and Earth Laws were being manipulated and hid themselves.”

Li Xuan understood clearly.

When the Emperor of Wu came to meet the person, he received no response; the person had hidden.

“Why hide and not meet? I have no malicious intent; just came to chat as I had nothing better to do. Having been here for such a long duration, don’t you feel lonely?

“I’ve known of your presence here for a long time. Today, just on a whim, I wanted to talk to you, why hide and not meet?”

Li Xuan spoke with a smile.

Inside the stone house, there was no echo.

Li Xuan did not mind; he sighed and said, “Well, if you won’t meet, then don’t. When I am free, I will come again to chat.”

After saying this, there was still no response from the stone house, and Li Xuan turned and left, vanishing instantly.

The Divine Martial True Body returned, and Li Xuan pondered for a moment before turning to leave.

He confirmed that the presence in the stone house, even if it were the owner of the Book of Taicang, posed no threat, probably being constrained.

However, with his current strength, he could not determine where the other party was.

“If it really is the owner of the Book of Taicang, and such strength has been constrained, the waters are indeed deep. With my current strength, it is prudent to be cautious.”

The master of the Book of Taicang, due to being constrained, might not pose a threat to him, but what about the powerful being that constrained the master? Once they noticed him, they would surely appear.

Even if the master of the Book of Taicang was bound through trickery and guile, that being was undoubtedly very strong and might not be an opponent he could currently face.

Moreover, the one in the stone house might not be the master of the Book of Taicang but could be a being that the master had sealed.

If that were the case, the situation would be far more terrifying.

“Once I fully comprehend the Book of Taicang and master the Origin Dao Principles of the Taicang Domain, perhaps then I can trace the other party’s location?”

Li Xuan mused inwardly.

His strength was still not formidable enough.

“Only by transcending Heaven and Earth can one truly have the confidence to face everything!”

Li Xuan took a deep breath, feeling an implicit pressure.

He was not truly invincible after all.
