Chapter 92

After great effort, Nan Huairen and his disciples finally managed to stand up. Li Shuangyan, after regaining her balance, also turned pale. The explosion of the immortal light was terrifying; a single thread of immortal light could reduce even kings, immortals, and ancient sages to mere ants!

At this moment, Nan Huairen and his disciples looked at Li Qiyeh with awe. Only now did they realize how terrifying Li Qiyeh was, far beyond their imagination.

“Daring to probe my mind and steal my memories, you are a thing without a sense of life and death!” At this moment, Li Qiyeh's face was cold. Although he no longer exuded the furious aura of an Immortal Emperor, it still made people shudder, as if he were an inviolable Immortal Emperor.

This giant snail had a shocking origin, but unfortunately, it should not have probed Li Qiyeh's mind!

In the distant ancient era, Li Qiyeh fell into the Immortal Demon Cave, where his soul was extracted and refined into the Yin Crow. Later, he was involuntarily recalled to the Immortal Demon Cave, and his memories were read by the existence within.

It was only after Li Qiyeh gained sufficient power and planned the world, uniting countless sages to scheme against the Immortal Demon Cave, that he finally broke free from its control.

Since then, Li Qiyeh was most wary of anyone opening his mind and extracting his memories. Once he had the ability to cultivate Immortal Emperors, he repeatedly strengthened his soul, his mind, and his memories.

One could say that Li Qiyeh's soul, his mind, and his memories had been blessed by Immortal Emperors. Not only the Immortal Emperor Mingren, but also the Blood Seal Immortal Emperor, the Sun Devouring Immortal Emperor, the Tyrannical Annihilation Immortal Emperor, and even the Black Dragon King, among others, had blessed his memories.

If anyone touched his mind or his memories, it was equivalent to touching the blessing of the Immortal Emperors! They would be absolutely suppressed by the blessing of the Immortal Emperors! This meant that no one, not even an Immortal Emperor, was allowed to read Li Qiyeh's mind and memories!

This was the result of Li Qiyeh's millions of years of hard work, and it was also what he most abhorred!

Today, this snail, not knowing the details, actually wanted to use its powers to read Li Qiyeh's memories, which was undoubtedly courting death!

“Drag him back.” Finally, Li Qiyeh ordered.

Nan Huairen and his disciples hurriedly responded and, after a long time, with a loud rumble, they dragged the giant snail back. They dragged the giant snail as if it were a small mountain.

The giant snail was dragged to Li Qiyeh's presence, and it was already motionless.

“Master, is he dead?” Nan Huairen asked, dragging the giant snail back.

“His life is temporarily spared; whether he lives or dies depends on his own performance.” Li Qiyeh ordered, “Prepare the pot, add the medicine, and boil him.”

Nan Huairen and his disciples immediately set up the giant pot. Fortunately, Mo Hufa was clever and brought a sufficiently large pot. They poured all the medicinal herbs they brought into the pot and placed the giant snail inside to boil.

Before long, the water in the pot began to boil, and all the medicine was cooked into medicinal broth!

At this moment, the giant snail finally slowly woke up. Even though it woke up, it could not move, as it was absolutely suppressed by the blessing of the Immortal Emperors! It was like meat on a chopping board, left to Li Qiyeh's disposal!

“Who, who are you?” The giant snail, barely managing to extend its two antennae from the water, looked at Li Qiyeh with large, cow-like eyes, filled with shock. A person blessed by the Immortal Emperors, what kind of person could this be?

For a teenager of thirteen or fourteen, it was impossible. The last Immortal Emperor was from thirty thousand years ago, and logically, the young man in front of him could not have met an Immortal Emperor.

However, the young man in front of him not only met an Immortal Emperor but also had his mind blessed. A thread of immortal light exploded, instantly suppressing him, leaving an indelible impression. Under such absolute power, he felt a deep terror from the depths of his soul, a suppression that only an Immortal Emperor could possess!

“Who I am is no longer important; you have crossed my line.” At this moment, Li Qiyeh's expression was much better, and he slowly said.

For some reason, when Li Qiyeh's expression improved, whether it was Nan Huairen, Mo Hufa, or Li Shuangyan, they all felt a sigh of relief.

When Li Qiyeh was furious, it felt as if a huge stone was pressing on their hearts, making it hard to breathe, like an Immortal Emperor's fury, which was terrifying!

“What, what do you want to do—” At this moment, the giant snail knew that a great disaster was imminent and could not help but change its expression.

Li Qiyeh said leisurely, “Putting you in the pot to boil, what else can I do? Drain your lifeblood and cook a pot of snail soup to satisfy my craving. They have never tasted the flavor of the Heavenly Bull Ancestor Snail, but once they taste it, they might find it unforgettable.”

“This, this is absolutely impossible. My body cannot be refined by fire or boiled by water.” The giant snail said.

Li Qiyeh smiled and said, “That's for others. As for me, this won't work. Since I know your origin, I can deal with you. Do you know what formula is used to boil you? This formula not only makes a delicious snail soup but is also a great tonic!”

The snail in the pot, upon hearing this, tasted the medicinal broth and was immediately shocked. Once the herbs were cooked into broth, they would severely counteract its shell!

At this moment, Li Qiyeh had already jumped onto the pot, took out the Qimen knife, and slowly said, “You should know that bleeding your kind is an art. I know your shell is impervious to blades and weapons. However, after being boiled in this broth, you should understand the consequences!” As he spoke, his knife moved like lightning.

In the blink of an eye, Li Qiyeh had already carved numerous knife marks on the giant snail's shell. These marks intertwined to form a mysterious pattern, which looked like an array, a Dao chapter, or a chapter of the Dao of dismantling the giant snail's shell!

At this moment, blood slowly seeped out from the knife marks, each drop of blood was incredibly vivid, like a priceless gem. As the drops of blood rolled into the pot and mixed with the medicinal broth, they emitted a captivating aroma, making people drool.

“Lifeblood—” Seeing the drops of blood rolling down, Mo Hufa could not help but be moved. For cultivators, lifeblood was extremely precious, even said to contain a thousand essences of the world in a single drop!

Li Qiyeh's method frightened the giant snail to the core. They were a mysterious species, neither demons nor heavenly beasts or life essences, with a shocking origin, rare in the world.

They had a shell that was impervious to anything, but today, Li Qiyeh knew the formula to boil their shell and the method to extract their lifeblood. He realized he had met his match!

As the lifeblood drained, the giant snail felt its soul being extracted, and its true life force was becoming weaker. If this continued, it would really be boiled into a pot of snail soup.

“You, you, what do you want, what do you want!” Finally, the giant snail trembled and shouted. If it continued to be stubborn, it would really be boiled into snail soup!

Li Qiyeh took a long time to look at it and finally said, “How about this, I happen to need a mount, so just follow me.”

Li Qiyeh's words left Nan Huairen and the others speechless. A true great person would at least choose a mount with a good appearance, not to mention a dragon or phoenix, even a dragon horse would be more impressive than this giant snail.

Li Qiyeh's words left the giant snail silent. Although their kind was few in number, they had a proud origin. Moreover, its cultivation was extremely strong, and being a mount for a human was indeed unbearable.

The giant snail remained silent, and Li Qiyeh glanced at it and said, “Don't be so proud of your bloodline. Even if your ancestor were still alive, he would only call me a junior!”

Li Qiyeh's words left the giant snail shocked. It looked at Li Qiyeh with its large eyes and said, “Who, who are you!”

“Who I am is not important. Either you stay and follow me, or I will boil you into snail soup.” Li Qiyeh said leisurely, “If you serve me faithfully, I will teach you the Twelve Resolutions.”

Li Qiyeh's words immediately invigorated the giant snail. Being Li Qiyeh's mount was not a choice it wanted, and it would rather be boiled into a divine meat soup. However, the mention of the Twelve Resolutions was different.

It knew that throughout the ages, only one existence knew the Twelve Resolutions, but the Li Qiyeh in front of it was clearly not that existence!

“Fine, I agree!” Finally, the giant snail submitted and made its choice.

“Swear an oath with your true life.” Li Qiyeh said calmly.

Finally, the giant snail swore an oath with its true life. This scene left Nan Huairen and his disciples deeply moved. Swearing an oath with one's true life was a serious matter for cultivators. Once an oath was made, it must be followed, and breaking it would result in backlash.

Of course, swearing an oath with one's true life must be done with mutual consent.

After the giant snail swore the oath, Li Qiyeh had Nan Huairen and Mo Hufa drag it out of the pot.
