Chapter 1633
The Solution
Because they have cultivated the Life Star Absorption Technique, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo currently have a relatively small need for pills to restore their mana, and since they still have quite a few on hand, they haven't spent any spirit crystals to buy them.
After preparing all of this, the two planned to leave the Chaos Merchant Guild and continue their journey of training in the void.
Although the Wanbao Palace is nice, it is not suitable for them to live in for a long time.
Because they were not satisfied with their own realm and cultivation, they wanted to see the scenery of higher realms!
"Let's go."
"it is good!"
Therefore, when Li Chengsheng proposed to leave the Chaos Chamber of Commerce, Li Chengshuo agreed without the slightest hesitation.
The moment the brother and sister stepped out of the Wanbao Hall, a force of spatial change enveloped them. After a dizzying spin, when they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in the void.
The two randomly chose a direction and quickly left the place, soon disappearing into the vast chaos.
……
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
The second layer of void.
During this period, Li Zhirui encountered chaotic beasts much more frequently, spending his days either in battle or on his way to one.
This strange situation left him extremely exhausted, but at the same time, his realm and cultivation level improved significantly!
Although it's not enough for him to break through directly, the distance is getting closer and closer.
At the same time, this situation also stimulated the Azure Rhinoceros and the Five Elements.
Because in every major battle, the two of them, unable to help and even becoming Li Zhirui's weaknesses, could only hide in the space.
This made them feel very bad, as they felt they were a burden to him.
At first, Li Zhirui was unaware of any problem, but as time went on, he noticed something amiss.
"What happened? You've been listless and sullen all day long."
But when he asked them, the two were a little embarrassed to say it.
Finally, Qing Si stammered, "I just feel like I'm useless and can't help you at all."
This wasn't the first time they'd felt this way, but this time the impact came in waves, leaving a very deep impression on them!
Li Zhirui frowned slightly. He had already comforted her once before, how long had it been? Why was it happening again!
But he could only comfort him, saying, "If you can't help now, then work even harder to cultivate. Sooner or later, you'll achieve that."
“But by the time we break through to the Profound Immortal realm, you might have already become a Golden Immortal! At that time, we will still be a burden.” But the two of them were still very depressed.
Li Zhirui's brows furrowed more and more. He could now see that Qing Si and Wu Xing were having mental problems!
It could be due to a series of setbacks, accumulated repression, or some other reason.
In short, something is wrong with them right now. If they are allowed to continue like this, they might develop inner demons!
Moreover, what Qing Si just said made some sense.
Although Li Zhirui is only at the early stage of the Profound Immortal realm and it will be very difficult for him to become a Golden Immortal, aren't they only at the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm? Is it possible that the difficulty for them to break through to the Profound Immortal realm will be much less?
Especially since they are currently in a void suitable for the Xuanxian level, Qing Si and Wu Xing have almost no opportunity to train. It's not that they can't break through by simply relying on hard work, but the possibility is extremely small!
In the end, when he's about to break through to the Golden Immortal realm, they might still be lingering in the Celestial Immortal realm.
This also made Li Zhirui realize that taking them to an environment that was not suitable for them was like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, rather than helping them.
Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind!
only……
After thinking for a while, he decided to speak up first and let Qing Si and Wu Xing decide for themselves whether or not to do it.
“I have an idea, which is to let you learn on your own, instead of following me around.”
"what?!"
Qing Si was shocked and said, "With my and Wu Xing's strength, I'm afraid we'll die in some corner in a few days."
"Of course I'm not sending you to your deaths."
Then, Li Zhirui explained his complete thoughts, saying, "You are indeed not suitable for training in this void, so my idea is to send you back to the first space!"
"That's the place that's right for you."
It must be said that this method is indeed a good thing for them!
"But how can we return to the first level of space?"
He didn't know either.
Just like when he broke through to the Xuanxian realm, he only realized belatedly that the space he was in had changed.
"But there must be a way!"
Li Zhirui was so certain because he recalled encountering a ferocious golden immortal beast that had forcibly lingered in the lower heavens in the void.
"By slowly deducing and trying different approaches, we can always find a useful solution."
Moreover, he possesses an existence that requires him to return to the Lower Heaven!
Thinking of this, Li Zhirui suddenly called out Yu Hong.
His presence was so subtle that you would hardly remember him unless you specifically thought about it.
For many years, he has been working hard to comprehend the laws within the Five Elements Minor Realm, hoping to elevate his own realm to the peak of Celestial Immortal.
He doesn't need to undergo trials to steadily improve his realm and cultivation, but that's because his situation is quite special, something others can't learn even if they wanted to.
"What's wrong? Why did you call me out all of a sudden?" Yu Hong looked around at the surroundings and asked, looking completely bewildered.
Li Zhirui said, "You are now close to reaching the peak of the Celestial Immortal Realm. Shouldn't you consider returning to the Primordial Spirit Realm? Do you intend to settle your karmic ties and transcend, or break through in the Primordial Spirit Realm and stay?"
He had mentioned this matter to Yu Hong a long time ago, but at that time his cultivation level was still relatively low, so there was no need to rush to make a decision.
But things are different now. He has already reached the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm, and if he wants to advance further, he must return to the Primordial Spirit Realm!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to break through since he hadn't severed his karmic ties with the Yuanling Realm.
In addition, Li Zhirui was currently considering how to send Qing Si and Wu Xing back to the previous void, and Yu Hong also needed to do so, so it was a good opportunity to call him out so that they could discuss it together.
"About this matter!"
Yu Hong suddenly realized and said without hesitation, "I plan to stay in the Yuanling Realm and won't follow you."
His decision was actually quite normal.
Because the cultivation method that Li Zhirui is now practicing is no longer the "Record of Earthly Spirits", but the "Pure Lotus Essence Scripture" which he created himself.
In other words, there is no need to invest a large number of spiritual objects and resources into the Five Elements Minor World that he previously created to help it advance into a Middle Thousand World!
Yu Hong's cultivation path requires him to comprehend various laws. After he breaks through to the Xuanxian realm, the laws in the Lesser Thousand Worlds can no longer meet his needs.
Continuing to follow Li Zhirui would no longer benefit his cultivation. Therefore, his decision was correct and rational.
"In return, I will make a copy of the various laws that I have come to understand for you."
Li Zhirui wasn't particularly surprised by the answer; it was within his expectations.
He didn't feel any negative emotions, because he knew he would have made the same choice in his place.
"There's no need to rush these things. What we need to do now is to get you back to the first level of the void."
Then, he shared his thoughts: "Try it, see if you can sense the location of the Primordial Spirit Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Hong immediately closed his eyes and, following the karmic connection between himself and the Yuanling Realm, focused his energy on determining its location.
"found it!"
It took him quite a while to open his eyes.
"Then let's go!"
Li Zhirui stated this very directly.
"Come with me."
After saying that, Yu Hong led the way.
The other three followed behind him.
At first, the journey was relatively peaceful, but the trip to the destination was not smooth sailing.
Not long after, they encountered a ferocious Xuanxian beast.
Roar--
The ferocious beast resembled a wild boar, with two enormous fangs, its body covered in black fur, and its size was like a small mountain.
With a roar, it stirred up waves in the nearby void, and even its heavy breaths turned into a gale, stirring up the surrounding chaotic spiritual energy.
Li Zhirui flashed and appeared directly in front of Yu Hong, saying solemnly, "The three of you be careful and take care of each other, because I can't look after you in the upcoming battle!"
The sudden appearance of this ferocious beast brought him considerable pressure, and he wasn't very confident that he could defeat it.
The reason for not sending Yu Hong and the other two into the space was to take into account the state of Qing Si and Wu Xing, and also to let them witness the battle between Xuanxian.
Leave them with an impression, and a goal to strive for.
The main reason is that Yu Hong is there. With his perfected Celestial Immortal realm, he can still protect the other two at the edge of the battlefield.
The ferocious beast launched the first attack, stomping its front paws heavily on the ground with a terrifying force that seemed capable of tearing the void apart. Several beams of dark yellow spiritual light shone forth, sweeping up chaotic spiritual energy and transforming into enormous stone pillars that rushed straight towards Li Zhirui.
Those stone pillars completely blocked his escape route, forcing him to endure the blows.
Li Zhirui remained calm, his hands forming hand seals. Vines sprouted and wove into large trees, not only withstanding the pressure of the stone pillars but also transforming the shattered vines into sharp arrows that shot towards the ferocious beast.
Seeing that its attack had been broken and that another attack was coming, the ferocious beast groaned, and its huge body suddenly burst out with a dazzling yellow light, which tainted the surrounding chaotic spiritual energy and condensed into giant dust pythons with blood-red mouths that attacked him.
Li Zhirui remained calm and unhurried as he used his magic, and he felt more confident that he could defeat him.
Because the attack methods that this ferocious beast excels at are exactly what he can counter!
With a change of hand seals, the vines and trees seemed to come alive, sprouting countless dense roots that spread towards the giant dust pythons.
Wood overcomes Earth!
The moment these roots touched the dust python, they unleashed a terrifying force of absorption, directly drawing power from its body and converting it for their own use!
However, the attack of that ferocious beast was not so easily countered.
All the dust pythons transformed into black stones, preventing the roots from absorbing power and causing them to entangle and strangle each other with the vines!
Looking down from above, it resembles a giant snake pool, with two different colored snakes writhing and killing each other inside.
Rumble!
After the two sides clashed, explosions echoed in the void from time to time, and just by listening to the sounds, one could tell how intense the battle was.
Meanwhile, Yu Hong, Qing Si, and Wu Xing, who were watching from a distance, were staring in disbelief at the battlefield before them.
"Is this the power of the Profound Immortal Realm?"
Yu Hong's eyes were filled with longing and anticipation, because he was about to break through to the Xuanxian realm.
But in the eyes of Qing Si and Wu Xing, there was more fear and dread.
Because they are still too far from becoming Xuanxian, the pressure on them is especially great!
Fortunately, their character and moral compass were still good, and they were not left with any psychological trauma.
"Do you think Ninth Brother will win this battle, or will that ferocious beast win?"
They all thought it would be Li Zhirui, but seeing the scene of the man and the beast locked in a fierce battle, they felt that the outcome was uncertain.
Another battlefield.
The two sides fought for a long time, and their auras became disordered, but they still fought desperately, as if they would not stop until they killed each other!
However, thanks to the advantage of wood over earth, Li Zhirui still held a slight edge, but it was still difficult to determine a winner.
Roar!
Just then, the roar of another ferocious beast suddenly came from the void not far away.
The expressions of both the man and the beast changed drastically in an instant.
Because they all realized that an uninvited guest with ill intentions had arrived!
You should know that they had just gone through a fierce battle that determined life and death, and not only their internal magical power, but their overall condition was very poor.
If another Xuanxian-level ferocious beast were to appear, they might both be defeated!
If that ferocious beast is very powerful, there might still be a risk of death.
Therefore, Li Zhirui took the lead in withdrawing and retreating from the battlefield. He then grabbed Yu Hong and the other two and flew away into the distance.
The wild boar didn't try to stop him; instead, it did the same thing, only in a different direction.
This also shows that it is not a mindless ferocious beast, but like the Azure Rhinoceros, it is a very rare chaotic ferocious beast that has given birth to intelligence!
When the strange, ferocious beast arrived, all that remained was the gradually calming chaotic spiritual energy and its completely invisible form.
Roar--
But the ferocious beast paid no attention, simply letting out a long roar before heading in the direction the wild boar had left.
Those seemingly slow steps can cover hundreds of miles in a single stride, as if one could find its location.
……
One hour later.
Somewhere in an unknown void.
Li Zhirui led Yu Hong and the other two at breakneck speed, only stopping after confirming their safety.
"Ninth Brother, if the second ferocious beast hadn't unexpectedly arrived, could you have killed that one?" Qing Si asked curiously. (End of Chapter)
