My Cultivation Prowess Peaks after I Buried the Great Emperor's Corpse

148 The Lucky One, Li Chengyin!

[Congratulations, you have received the favor of the heavens.]

[In Jiuzhou, a heavens’ emissary has just been born. As long as you sacrifice the corpse of powerhouses above the Grotto-Heaven realm, you will be able to obtain his help.]

[The heavens’ emissary’s name is Dongfang Bubai.]

[Use the corpses of powerhouses as a sacrifice and pray devoutly. At that time, you can invite him to descend into the world to help you achieve your wishes and satisfy your various needs.]

…

Li Chengyin was currently kneeling at the front of the group of young masters, obediently keeping vigil for Clan Leader Li Xuandao.

However, at this moment, an illusory voice disrupted his thoughts and woke him up from his thoughts.

Dongfang Bubai?

Hearing this name, Li Chengyin’s spirits were greatly boosted.

As the second young master of the Heishui Ancient City, although he never participated in the disputes of the forces in Jiuzhou, he was still very well-informed about the various happenings in Jiuzhou.

As far as he knew, when the Dari Demonic Sect faced the Great Tribulation of High Heavens, Li Xuanshan had invited a person called Dongfang Bubai to help them overcome the Great Tribulation at the final moment of life and death.

After that, the whole sect had obtained a great fortune.

At that time, this matter had shaken the entire Jiuzou. Even the hidden factions had heard of it. Everyone was guessing who Dongfang Bubai was. To think he could help the Dari Demonic Sect survive the Great Tribulation of High Heavens.

However, until now, no one knew the identity and background of Dongfang Bubai.

“So Dongfang Bubai is the heavens’ emissary. Did Li Xuanshan of the Dari Demonic Sect sacrifice the body of a Grotto-Heaven realm expert to invite Dongfang Bubai to help them pass the Great Tribulation of High Heavens? And now, I’ve also obtained this opportunity? If I can offer the corpse of a Grotto-Heaven realm expert and above to Dongfang Bubai, will I be able to get him to fulfill my wish?” Li Chengyin pondered.

“Are you really Dongfang Bubai?”

To find out, he began to carefully probe.

[No.]

[I am the Book of All Living Beings. I listen to the voices and wishes of all living beings in the world. Then, I will randomly pick a lucky person among all living beings.]

[Be honored that you have successfully received the favor of the heavens.]

[As long as you offer the corpse of a Grotto-Heaven realm powerhouse or above as a sacrifice and pray devoutly, you will have a chance to invite Dongfang Bubai to help you fulfill your wish.]

[The more precious the offering, the higher the chance of you inviting Dongfang Bubai over…]

…

The ethereal voice continued to ring out.

This time, Li Chengyin heard it clearly.

“It’s true!”

He instantly clenched his fists, and an unprecedented divine light burst out from his eyes.

At the same time, a thought that had been suppressed in the deepest part of his heart sprouted.

“Now that the clan leader has died unexpectedly, it won’t be long before the family chooses a new clan leader. As a direct descendant of the Li family, I have the chance to compete for the position. If I can get Dongfang Bubai’s help, wouldn’t it be easy for me to become the clan leader?” Li Chengyin secretly calculated.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was hope.

“According to the Book of All Beings, if I want to invite Dongfang Bubai, I have to offer the corpse of a Grotto-Heaven Realm powerhouse or above as a sacrifice and pray sincerely. So right now, I’m only lacking the corpses of powerhouses to become the clan leader?”

Thinking of this, Li Chengyin couldn’t help but look at Li Xuandao’s corpse in the mourning hall ahead.

Wasn’t this a ready-made Heavenly Cycle realm corpse?

His heart throbbed.

Moreover, as time passed, the urge became more and more intense.

Although he was the second young master of the Li family, he had no blood relationship with Li Xuandao.

Therefore, he didn’t have any psychological burden in sacrificing Li Xuandao’s corpse.

“I want to ask if I want to invite Emissary Dongfang to help me become the clan leader of the Li family in the Heishui Ancient City, what kind of expert’s corpse would I need to offer?”

After a long silence, Li Chengyin asked carefully.

[Connecting to Dongfang Bubai, please wait…]

Hearing the voice in his mind, Li Chengyin was not anxious.

He waited patiently in the mourning hall.

…

On the other side, in the Qingshan Courtyard of the Myth Inn, Lin Wudao also received a notification from the Book of All Beings.

“The second young master of the Li family, Li Chengyin? He wants to seize the position of clan leader?”

Looking at the contents of the Book of All Beings, Lin Wudao’s lips curled into a faint smile.

What a coincidence. He had just been thinking about how to get the Li family’s resources.

Now, someone had automatically delivered himself to his doorstep.

“A fat sheep has delivered itself to my doorstep. It would be a waste not to slaughter it. Although it is not easy to become the clan leader of the Li family, I should still be able to do it…”

Thinking of this, Lin Wudao immediately accepted Li Chengyin’s invitation.

“If you want to become the clan leader of the Li family, you’ll need to prepare at least ten corpses of powerhouses above the Heavenly Cycle realm. If you do that, I might be able to help you fulfill your wish.”

What? Ten corpses of Heavenly Cycle realm powerhouses?

Hearing the indifferent voice in his mind, Li Chengyin’s body could not help but tremble.

Then, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

...

“As expected, it’s not that easy. Even if I can get Li Xuandao’s body, it’s still far from Emissary Dongfang’s request. What should I do?”

Li Chengyin fell into deep thought.

“Why don’t I go and ask grandpa for help?”

Suddenly, Li Chengyin had a flash of inspiration and instantly thought of his grandfather, Li Qingshan.

Now, Li Qingshan had already cultivated to the peak of the Heavenly Cycle realm. Although he had not become the Li family’s clan leader, he was the Li family’s Grand Elder. He held a truly high position.

If he could get the other party’s help, perhaps he could fulfill Dongfang Bubai’s request!

“I remember that grandpa has the body of a Heaven Capture realm expert. He’s going to refine it into a puppet. Should I go and ask for it?”

Thinking of this, Li Chengyin seemed to have found a way, and waves of excitement immediately surged from the bottom of his heart.

“Emissary Dongfang, I wonder if the corpse of a Heaven Capture realm powerhouse is worth ten Heavenly Cycle realm corpses?” He asked carefully.

Hmm? A Heaven Capture realm powerhouse?

Lin Wudao was surprised to see this message.

...

He did not expect Li Chengyin to have such a good thing in his hands.

“If it’s the corpse of a Heaven Capture realm powerhouse, you can indeed invite me to help you. However, this also depends on the specific matter. How do you want me to help you become the clan leader of the Li family?”

“This… Can I think about it first?”

“Very well. Think about it carefully before contacting me.”

Then, Lin Wudao immediately cut off the connection.

Whoosh!

He agreed?

Seeing that Dongfang Bubai had actually agreed, Li Chengyin was pleasantly surprised.

Soon after, he began to plan how to persuade his grandfather and how to ascend to the position of the Li family’s clan leader.

Thump!

Just as Li Chengyin was deep in thought, an ancient bell chime suddenly rang out from the ancestral land.

“All the young masters and elders of the Li family, head to the ancestral land at the back of the mountain!”

Suddenly, a dignified voice entered the ears of Li Chengyin and the others.

“The old ancestors are out! If nothing unexpected happens, they will discuss the selection of the clan leader next…” Li Chengyin thought to himself.

He quickly looked around and then followed everyone to the ancestral land at the back of the mountain at his fastest speed.
