Li Xiandao knew that Tian Guangming was really awkward now, so he didn’t say anything and just said calmly, “Since Tian Guangming is the fated person, then go open the city gates. Let’s all go in and take a look.”
Tian Guangming had to listen to Li Xiandao’s orders. He went in front of the stone gate, reaching out to push it.
The city gate slowly opened.
Lucifer was curious, “Why did the stone city choose you as the fated person?”
Tian Guangming smiled helplessly, “I can let you be the fated person.”
Did he want to be the fated person?
Li Xiandao ignored them and just stepped into the stone city.
“Master, apart from the fated person, can we enter?” Heaven Heart was confused.
“Why not? Let’s all head in.” Tian Guangming didn’t care.
Li Xiandao nodded, “This is an empty city. It’s okay to head in to take a look.”
Human Celestial and the others followed behind Li Xiandao and entered the stone city.
The stone city was really quiet. Apart from that part that dropped out of the space, the other parts were totally dark.
Li Xiandao lit up the place, the light shining all around and lighting up a thousand meters.
Everything was clear.
“Master, after a few streets is a square.” Tian Guangming introduced.
Li Xiandao walked around the city. This was once a prosperous city but it was really quiet now.
It was silent!
The city was empty. They walked to the square and saw that giant statue. Its other parts were brimming with life and only the face was empty with no carvings.
In front of it were many stone people worshipping but they were all dead. They all maintained one movement.
Everything was the same as what Tian Guangming saw.
The other people looked around and only Tian Guangming charged behind the statue to find that old man.
The furious Tian Guangming arrived behind it.
What he saw was a corpse.
A broken corpse…
Tian Guangming was stunned.
The old man that cheated him was laying there silently with no life force at all.
“Master, what happened?” Li Wuya asked. He walked over to take a look and was speechless.
Tian Guangming sighed. He was dead and his rage was reduced by much too.
Li Xiandao walked over and looked at the old man, “This is Sheng Di Tian’s clone. He entered Heaven Emperor City and wasn’t able to go out. He didn’t lie to you.”
Tian Guangming said, “He should have told me to bring him out. Why did he have to die?”
Li Xiandao checked and shook his head, “He is at the end of his life. He met you at that moment and thought of a plan to bring you in. What he told you was seventy percent true and thirty percent fake. He wanted you to break his main body out.”
Li Xiandao guessed that the clone was faking it and was really strong. But it seemed like his guess was wrong.
This old man was really smart and created a lie to bluff Tian Guangming. He used Tian Guangming’s greed for the treasure to save his main body.
Smart and also loyal.
“Do you want to destroy the corpse to take revenge?” Li Xiandao asked.
Tian Guangming shook his head and reflected, “I am not sick in the head. I am angry that he cheated me. But thinking about it, I was greedy and wanted the treasure too much. I didn’t use my brains and notice what was wrong. His plan was not good. Thinking about it, there were many loopholes but I was blinded.”
Tian Guangming’s words made Li Xiandao impressed.
“You learn from your mistakes. Next time when you face such a thing you will be experienced. I can forgive you this time, but if you do it again, then I won’t forgive you anymore.” Li Xiandao pointed at Tian Guangming.
“I promise that I won’t make the same mistake.” Tian Guangming ensured.
Li Xiandao didn’t fully believe him, he still didn’t trust Tian Guangming.
But he didn’t say anything and just walked towards the place he was looking at.
City Lord Manor!
When he looked at it from the Bank of the Universe, Li Xiandao was interested in it.
Within it, there was a dead stone person that gave birth to a stone flame. Tian Guangming just took it away and didn’t observe the stone person.
Li Xiandao wanted to take a look.
“All of you spread out to see if there are any treasures or other things. I will walk by myself.” Li Xiandao told everyone to spread out while he headed to the manor.
Within it, Li Xiandao pushed the door open and walked in.
He looked on silently. The lord had good taste. Stone people’s tastes could change. They had their own likings, calligraphy, drawing, tea, flowers, and gardening. Li Xiandao saw some signs of them in the manor.
But as too much time passed, the calligraphy faded, the drawings decomposed, and the flowers withered.
But Li Xiandao saw what they once looked like in the past. This meant that when there were people around, they were taken care of well.
As he walked, Li Xiandao arrived at where Tian Guangming got the stone flame from.
A stone person!
A dead stone person with a steely face. He wore armor and had a sword by his waist making him look really valiant.
Li Xiandao looked at him carefully. His stone flame was taken by Tian Guangming but he still looked forward firmly.
What was in front of him?
Li Xiandao followed his gaze.
Reading room.
The reading room door was opened. The stone person could see the wall within the room.
There was a drawing on the wall.
Compared to those crumpled up or yellowish drawings outside, this drawing was complete.
Li Xiandao walked over slowly and realized that the drawing was of someone’s back view.
In front of the guy was a majestic hall. Just by looking at the drawing, one could sense terrifying pressure.
But this man just stood there and faced it.
A huge cow was beside him.
In the end, there were four words on the drawing.
Li Xiandao read it, “Heaven Emperor has regrets!”
The only four words wrote that!
This shocked Li Xiandao.
Li Xiandao roughly knew who the Heaven Emperor was. He was the supreme expert of the stone race and the ancestor that created this Heaven Emperor City.
But it wrote that Heaven Emperor has regrets.
What was he regretting?
Li Xiandao thought about it and took the drawing down. He kept it and was prepared to hang it in his reading room.
“Heaven Emperor has regrets. Stone race’s supreme expert fought many top experts alone, so what did he regret?” Li Xiandao was suddenly really interested.
