Chapter 395: Reincarnated Bodies

"I only have a single remnant will remaining, preserved within this Phantom God Palace. Even I have a reincarnated body — it's just that I don't know where my reincarnated body might be." Patriarch Daozang's voice drifted from far away.

Finding the reincarnated bodies of those six people would be incredibly difficult!

If they couldn't break through the space-time seal, the Saint Emperor could never be destroyed. The pressure in Nie Li's heart only grew.

After all, the Saint Emperor had been operating in this timeline for tens of millions of years. No matter how Nie Li arranged his plans, breaking the Saint Emperor's absolute rule was far too difficult. Truly, finding the reincarnated bodies of those six would give them a much better chance of success.

After all, those six had been supreme powerhouses of the Primordial Era. Even as reincarnated bodies, they would undoubtedly possess astonishing bloodlines.

"Are there no other ways to challenge the Saint Emperor?" Nie Li asked.

"There is actually one — unless you can find a supreme treasure…" Patriarch Daozang thought for a moment before speaking.

"A supreme treasure? What treasure?" Nie Li was stunned.

"During the Primordial Era, the Saint Emperor and the six of us were still in the chaotic void. We had only just stepped into the divine realm. A peerless powerhouse descended upon this world carrying a treasure. Before that, he had fought a great battle against someone unknown and was gravely wounded, on the verge of death. In his hand he held a mysterious treasure book — a book that could command space and time, possessing infinite power." Patriarch Daozang's voice was filled with wistful reverence.

Hearing Patriarch Daozang's words, Nie Li's heart jolted. Command space and time — was Patriarch Daozang talking about the Book of Time-Space Demon Spirit?

"What happened next?" Nie Li pressed eagerly.

The Demon Lord also leaned in to listen, though he said nothing.

"This peerless powerhouse wanted to use the essence and soul of the seven of us to heal himself, which provoked our resistance. The seven of us besieged him together and finally killed him. But before he died, he tore the treasure book apart. The fragments pierced through the sky and vanished, and we could never find them again. We divided eight torn pages from the treasure book among ourselves." Patriarch Daozang narrated in a measured tone.

Pierced through the sky and vanished — Nie Li was now almost certain that what Patriarch Daozang described was indeed the Book of Time-Space Demon Spirit.

He just didn't know where that book had gone.

"And what happened to those eight torn pages?"

"Eight pages. At least three of them have already fallen into the Saint Emperor's hands. One is here within the Phantom God Palace. The rest — no one knows where they went. The reason the Saint Emperor has been able to seal off space and time is most likely because he gained insight into the power of space and time from these pages."

Nie Li's mind raced. He had two torn pages of the Book of Time-Space Demon Spirit in his possession.

"Patriarch Daozang, could you give me the page you hold?" Nie Li said after a moment's thought.

"Might Master grant that page to me instead?" the Demon Lord spoke up beside him. After all, he was now Patriarch Daozang's disciple, and he naturally wouldn't let such a treasure end up in Nie Li's hands.

Patriarch Daozang said to the Demon Lord, "You have already inherited my legacy. You should devote yourself to cultivation. This torn page is an extremely dangerous object. Even if I gave it to you, you would never be able to comprehend the power of space and time within it. Rather, it would easily entangle you in karmic threads."

The Demon Lord fell silent for a moment. He understood that powerhouses of this caliber always meant every word they said — once spoken, their decisions were never changed. He could only let it go.

Patriarch Daozang's will focused on Nie Li as he spoke: "I could give you this torn page. If you can give me a reason convincing enough, I'll consider it. However, once I hand the page to you, it will only bring you trouble with no benefit whatsoever. Do you still want it?"
