Chapter 1167 - 1166: Missing an Opportunity
When Li Tao spoke this sentence, she was still gritting her teeth."You are Li Tao, the daughter of Li Zhentong, a descendant of the Tingzhou Li Family. This is a fact that no one can change. Do you think just because you don't want to face it, you really don't have to?"
The man in black could understand Li Tao's hatred towards the Tingzhou Li Family, but he was very dissatisfied with Li Tao for not daring to face reality.
Imagine a woman who doesn't even dare to face reality—how could she have smooth sailing in cultivation.
At that time, there would inevitably be a Heart Demon, and inevitably lose control. By then, Li Tao would no longer be the present Li Tao. When Li Tao turned into a demon, the man in black wouldn't even dare to keep Li Tao around.
"No, I'm not from the Li Family. The Li Family has nothing to do with me."
Li Tao reacted particularly strongly, just moments ago she was passionately engaging in cultivation with Leng Pengfei, and the next second she punched the wall, leaving a hole.
To prevent Leng Pengfei and Li Tao from escaping, the man in black had specially reinforced the wall. Generally, neither ordinary people nor common beings from the Divine Realm had the ability to break it. Over the years, only one person had the power to damage his wall.
"Li Zhentong has already betrothed your sister to Tang Rao. Tang Rao treats Li Zhentong and Li Qi Qi very well. After you were gone, they were all particularly happy, and Li Zhentong is even planning to reconcile his father-daughter relationship with Li Qi Qi. Do you not hate them at all?"
The man in black's words were like a steel blade, piercing directly into Li Tao's heart.
"Tang Rao? So those two shameless people have really gotten together, huh!?"
Li Tao couldn't bear for Li Qi Qi to so easily find happiness, especially with her being with Tang Rao, it made her even more disgusted.
"So are you going to sit and wait for death, or destroy those two shameless people? It all depends on your attitude."
The man in black had spoken to this extent, and it seemed Li Tao knew what decision to make.
"Impossible. I will never let them be together, even if I die, I will not let them be together."
Images of Li Qi Qi's treatment in the Li Family suddenly appeared in Li Tao's mind, something she had never experienced, even if Li Zhentong didn't dote on Li Qi Qi, at least Li Qi Qi had called Li Zhentong "father," whereas Li Tao only ever called him "master."
The difference was evident just from the form of address.
"That's good. You and Leng Pengfei have completed the second layer of the Black Magic Technique. Use the power of the second layer to test it on Tang Rao and Li Qi Qi."
The man in black quickly gave Li Tao and Leng Pengfei their orders.
The power of the second layer of the Black Magic Technique is so formidable that it can be equated to early-stage Mid-Deity powers, a massive number. Imagine, if one practiced to the third or fourth layer, all the way to the tenth layer, the energy would likely even make the God of Light fear.
"Can we really do it?"
Li Tao extended her hand, a ball of black mist appeared in her palm, representing dark power.
This was Li Tao's only achievement over the past half month, and as she condensed the black mist, images of Tang Rao and Li Qi Qi's tragic deaths at her hands emerged in her mind.
The scene drove Li Tao mad.
Over the past half month, both her mind and body had been tormented, and to be able to personally kill those two, she had given up the most important thing to a woman in her life. What else was there she couldn't give up?
Leng Pengfei was much calmer compared to Li Tao.
Li Qi Qi wasn't Leng Pengfei's first woman, and he felt nothing for Li Qi Qi.
Their union was entirely due to the man in black's orders.
Apart from cultivation, there was no additional communication between Leng Pengfei and Li Tao.
"Go, I trust in you. If you can't handle even this small task, there's no difference between keeping you and keeping trash."
The man in black spoke bluntly, demanding absolute execution and loyalty.
"Yes."
Since the man in black had spoken as such, Li Tao and Leng Pengfei didn't resist. They received a rare opportunity for a short trip outside sanctioned by the man in black. During this trip, they needed to resolve everything, including taking Tang Rao and Li Qi Qi's lives.
"You have three days. If Tang Rao hasn't been dealt with by then, come back and receive your punishment!"
As Leng Pengfei pulled Li Tao out, the man in black didn't forget to add another sentence in the back.
There are rewards for completion, and punishments for failure. This is their reality, so it's no wonder the man in black had honed his strength so significantly.
Tang Rao slept so soundly one night that he almost missed an important matter the next day.
Jixing had finished translating a book and placed it beside Tang Rao's pillow. When Tang Rao woke up and saw the book, his joy was palpable.
"Xiao Ji Ji, this is the most industrious I've seen you. Go ahead, there's a reward in the portable palace!"
Tang Rao generously praised Jixing.
He opened the first page, and the title was 'Interstellar.'
The two words looked broad at first glance, and mysterious upon further inspection.
Blue Star had been studying the stars for so many years but hadn't fully understood them, let alone the Divine Realm.
"The Star Realm is divided into twelve star channels and twenty-four major veins. Blue Star is on one major vein, while the Divine Realm is exactly at the center of the twenty-four veins."
Tang Rao previously had no concept of the Divine Realm. He had always thought it was somewhere outside the other planets, but it turned out it wasn't exceptional, just more prestigious than the other veins.
"But how do you get to the major veins? I know it requires the right timing, location, and human harmony, but at least there should be a standard."
Tang Rao sighed, wondering why he couldn't understand the trajectory within.
"There's absolutely none, all these diagrams are tricks. It would be strange if you understood them."
Jixing pouted. When it translated, it glanced over and found it all just vacuous talk. Trying to connect them was too difficult.
He couldn't comprehend it at all.
"You mean you can't understand it either?"
Tang Rao put the book down, considering Jixing's words, he wanted to have a proper discussion with Jixing.
"I can't understand it. I've looked at it several times and still didn't get it. It always feels like some information is missing."
Jixing had the same feeling as Tang Rao. Aside from study, just reading this book made his head spin.
"I feel the same, but what's missing?"
Even someone like Tang Rao, with no research on stars, started to get troubled, it was indeed putting him in a tough spot.
Jixing thought for a moment, its smoke orb drifted a few laps in the air, then stopped.
"Got it, I know what's missing."
When it said this, Jixing almost went to high-five Tang Rao.
"Missing an opportunity. These opportunities are too vague; if I think about them randomly, it seems possible. Isn't that what this book is trying to express?"
