Each time, Xiao Sanxiao would use the "Soul Dream Heart Sutra" to conjure an illusion that would appear in the martial arts world.
He also claimed that anyone who is the first to meet him can make a wish to him, and he can help fulfill all their wishes.
For example, there was once a martial arts overlord named "Iron One Blade" who had the good fortune to meet Xiao Sanxiao and said that he wanted to be the emperor.
Sure enough, when he woke up, he found himself on the dragon bed in the palace, wearing a dragon robe.
However, before he could even rejoice, a group of imperial guards rushed over and fired a hail of arrows at him.
Of course, as the overlord of the martial arts world, how could a mere imperial guard possibly kill him?
Unfortunately, Tie Yidao had already been tampered with by Xiao Sanxiao, so he couldn't exert any strength at all and was no different from an ordinary person.
As a result, he was tragically killed by a hail of arrows from the imperial guards.
This shows just how terrifying Xiao Sanxiao's strength is.
Xiao Sanxiao was slightly taken aback when Li Yao revealed his identity. He exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect you to recognize me. Could it be... that you have already obtained the Heavenly Cry Scripture?"
Xiao Sanxiao once secretly spied on the fight between Di Shitian and Wu Wudi.
Both Di Shitian and Wu Wudi are considered top-tier experts in this world.
As a result, the two of them failed to notice Xiao Sanxiao's presence.
Therefore, Xiao Sanxiao felt that it was impossible for anyone to discover his existence.
Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him not only discovered his whereabouts but also immediately identified him.
After much thought, only the "Heavenly Cry Scripture" could make the young man before him realize his existence.
Li Yao neither confirmed nor denied this.
Xiao Sanxiao thinks it's better this way, which will save him a lot of arguing.
Actually, he recognized Xiao Sanxiao not because of the "Heavenly Cry Scripture".
The dragon turtle illusion under Xiao Sanxiao's buttocks was so eye-catching that if he still couldn't guess Xiao Sanxiao's identity, it would mean that he had read the "Storm Riders" novel and comics for nothing.
Li Yao asked casually, "I wonder what your purpose is in suddenly following me, Old Master Xiao?"
"Old Master Xiao?"
Xiao Sanxiao was taken aback.
This was the first time he had ever heard someone address him like that.
However, he just smiled, not caring at all, and looked Li Yao up and down, saying, "Young friend, there seems to be a power within you that shouldn't belong to this time. This puzzles me greatly. I wonder if you can explain it?"
Li Yao thought for a moment and asked, "Are you talking about the power of the dragon?"
"good!"
Xiao Sanxiao nodded and said, "As far as I know, the divine dragon has not yet been born. Where does the divine dragon power within you come from?"
Li Yao chuckled and said, "Dragons are also a kind of creature, just like humans, they have ancestors and parents."
Xiao Sanxiao frowned and said, "Could it be... that the dragon power within you comes from... the dragon vein!"
"Exactly!"
Li Yao nodded.
"Even after thousands of years, the dragon bones of the Yellow Emperor still retain the power of a divine dragon!"
Xiao Sanxiao found it somewhat unbelievable.
In fact, if the system hadn't been able to decompose and replicate the dragon bones, Li Yao wouldn't have been able to obtain the power of the divine dragon from them.
The key to this is something that even Xiao Sanxiao, racking his brains, probably couldn't figure out!
Li Yao said, "Grandpa Xiao doesn't seem to have answered my question from earlier. Why were you following me?"
Xiao Sanxiao looked into the distance and said:
"Many years ago, I used the Eight Trigrams to deduce the secrets of heaven and predicted that a great calamity would soon befall the world. However, my abilities were limited and I was unable to calculate the details."
"Left with no other choice, I sought out the Monk King and borrowed his Mind-Reflecting Mirror, which allowed me to deduce the beginning and end of the 'Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns'..."
Upon hearing this, Li Yao suddenly interrupted, "The Mirror of Reflection is on you now?"
Xiao Sanxiao paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."
A look of curiosity appeared on Li Yao's face as he asked, "Could you let me take a look?"
Xiao Sanxiao thought for a moment and said, "Of course!"
As he spoke, he took out a mirror from his pocket and handed it to Li Yao.
He wasn't worried that Li Yao would snatch the Mirror of Reflection.
He believed that with his strength, no one in the world could take anything from him.
Moreover, he felt that Li Yao should have obtained the "Heavenly Cry Scripture".
The predictive power of the "Heavenly Cry Sutra" is far more powerful than that of the "Heart Mirror."
Presumably, Li Yao wouldn't covet the mirror that reveals his inner thoughts.
Li Yao took the Heart-Reflecting Mirror, immediately copied it, and then disassembled it.
Luck Points +2000!
Divine Soul +100!
As expected, the Heart-Reflecting Mirror, like the Heavenly Cry Scripture, contains a large amount of luck points and spiritual energy.
Of course, the Mirror of the Mind can only predict the future of the Fengyun world; it has no effect on other worlds.
He suddenly gained a large amount of luck points and divine soul.
This guy with three smiles is truly a qualified money-bringing boy!
"Good stuff, good stuff!"
Li Yao said expressionlessly, looking insincere.
Having obtained what he wanted, he lost interest in the Mind Mirror and immediately returned it to Xiao Sanxiao, suppressing his curiosity.
Xiao Sanxiao was taken aback.
What exactly is Li Yao up to?
Just a moment ago, he seemed very curious about the mirror.
The next moment, she returned the Heart-Reflecting Mirror to him, saying "good stuff" but her face showed a disingenuous expression.
The change before and after is too big!
Little did he know that Li Yao had already made a copy of the Heart-Reflecting Mirror and extracted a large number of Luck Points from it.
Li Yao said, "In other words, you foresaw the 'Great Calamity of a Thousand Years' long ago. So, have you tried to stop the 'Great Calamity of a Thousand Years'?"
At this moment, Xiao Sanxiao finally came to his senses and said:
"I naturally have a plan to prevent the 'great calamity of the ages'."
"But I never expected that some changes would suddenly occur in this world."
"And some of my plans have been disrupted by these variables."
"Recently, I have sensed several things that should not have happened."
"After some investigation, I learned that all these variables originated from you, a person who should not have appeared in this world."
At this point, Xiao Sanxiao suddenly stopped and stared intently at Li Yao.
Li Yao did not avoid Xiao Sanxiao's gaze, his expression becoming even more indifferent, and he smiled, "Old Master Xiao is indeed quite capable. Now that I have disrupted your plans, what do you intend to do?"
Xiao Sanxiao said, "If it weren't for your sudden appearance, young friend, my plan would have been able to prevent the 'Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns' from happening. However, your appearance has disrupted my game, making the future full of variables. Even if I had the Mirror of the Mind, I would not be able to resolve these variables."
Li Yao asked with a smile, "So?"
Xiao Sanxiao paused for a moment, then said with a solemn expression, "I hope that you will stop now and not interfere with the fate of Feng Yun and the others, as well as those involved."
Li Yao asked, "I just want to ask you, who is behind this 'Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns'?"
Xiao Sanxiao was stunned for a moment, looking embarrassed.
After a pause, he said truthfully, "They are my two sons."
Xiao Sanxiao's two sons, the eldest son and the great demon god, are the masterminds behind the repeated cataclysmic destructions, beings who surpass even Emperor Shitian.
Li Yao then asked, "Do you know where your two sons are now?"
Xiao Sanxiao nodded and said, "In Japan."
Li Yao continued, "Can you subdue your two sons?"
Xiao Sanxiao was taken aback again, then nodded and said, "It should be possible."
Li Yao sneered, "So, you could have simply subdued your two unworthy sons and stopped the 'Great Calamity of a Thousand Years,' but you didn't. Instead, you set up all sorts of schemes and went to such great lengths to stop the 'Great Calamity of a Thousand Years'?"
Xiao Sanxiao argued, "Even if I subdue these two unworthy sons, others will still push for the 'Great Calamity of a Thousand Years.' This is destiny, and it is unavoidable."
Li Yao suddenly burst into laughter.
Xiao Sanxiao, puzzled, asked, "Young friend, why are you suddenly laughing?"
Li Yao's smile faded, and he said, "Since you know that the 'Great Calamity of a Thousand Years' is a destiny ordained by Heaven and unavoidable, why did you devise a plan to stop it? Isn't that a contradiction?"
Chapter 271 The Four Absolute Techniques of Chaos, Myriad Paths of the Underworld (Revised)
In fact, Xiao Sanxiao had long known that it was his two sons who were quarreling and trying to deal with him that triggered the Great Calamity.
Therefore, the early stages of this great calamity were caused by the family feud between the Xiao family father and son.
While Xiao Sanxiao claims to be preventing the "Great Calamity of a Thousand Years," he also says he is following the will of Heaven.
Isn't such a contradiction utterly ridiculous?
Xiao Sanxiao stubbornly argued, "The schemes I have devised are all in accordance with the will of Heaven. Although there may be some twists and turns, they will eventually succeed in preventing the 'Great Calamity of a Thousand Years'."
Li Yao asked, "You mean that your two sons are behind the 'Great Calamity of a Thousand Years,' and that it is also destiny?"
