Chapter 1645
Disguise
It was as if the Elemental Realm was a very dangerous place to them, and that staying there might lead to some unforeseen disaster.
This is also what puzzled Ziwei the most.
"Why is that? Is it really just a simple desire to pursue a higher realm?"
He suspected that there was more to this than met the eye, and that there might be secrets he was unaware of.
but……
Ziwei thought about his current situation. Even if there was some secret behind this matter, he probably wouldn't be able to leave the Yuanling Realm.
Just look at those ancient gods to see how difficult it is to transcend the Yuanling Realm, and his current situation is even more complicated than theirs!
The Heavenly Emperor, while bringing him many benefits, also burdened him with more karma.
However, these causes and effects do not mean that abandoning one's position will lead to leaving Ziwei; things are not that simple.
"Ugh!"
Thinking about all this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Since it was almost impossible to leave the Yuanling Realm, Ziwei simply stopped thinking about these things to avoid causing herself unnecessary trouble.
……
at the same time.
The high-level beings in the Yuanling Realm all sensed that the world seemed to have become more stable, and the origin of the world had been strengthened somewhat.
This sudden improvement left them very puzzled, wondering what was going on, since nothing unusual had happened in the world during this period.
It was only later, when someone inquired with their own Xuanxian Ancestor, that they learned it was related to the transcendence of an ancient god in the divine realm.
"Does that mean the recent anomalies in the heavens and earth were caused by this great deity?"
"But why didn't anyone discover his place of transcendence back then? Such a commotion couldn't have gone unnoticed."
……
The news quickly sparked a great deal of discussion, with many beings becoming curious about this mysterious ancient god.
But those who should know these things already know them, and those who shouldn't know them may never know them in the future.
Shanhaizhou, in the Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain.
Currently, Qingpeng and Qingcang, the two members of the Li family who are closest to transcending worldly concerns, are also discussing this matter.
As for Qingxuan? He is not currently in the clan's territory. He left the Yuanling Realm not long ago to go to the void for training.
"Why do you think all these great gods are trying to leave the Yuanling Realm? It's clearly the next era, the era of the gods, which should be beneficial to their cultivation."
Qingcang shook his head slightly. He couldn't figure it out either, and could only guess: "This matter is indeed a bit strange. There may be secrets we don't know about it."
"However, since those experts are trying their best to leave, we two need to speed things up as well."
As for whether Li Jia Ri's future development will encounter problems after they transcend their limitations, perhaps it will, perhaps it won't.
But by then, they couldn't care less.
Moreover, given the Li family's current strength, losing two Celestial Immortals won't have a significant impact.
"Indeed, in just over a thousand years, three deities have left the Yuanling Realm."
Qingpeng's expression became more solemn. He said, "Their departure has further promoted the growth of the world's origin, and the speed at which the divine era descends seems to have accelerated. The longer it is delayed, the greater the price of transcendence will be."
Therefore, for them, the sooner the better when it comes to transcending worldly concerns.
As for how to do it, they already have an idea in mind.
Before they had a definite answer, they did not tell anyone about their plans, lest something unexpected happen.
……
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the previously empty, chaotic void.
This person is none other than Li Zhirui, who has retreated into the spatial dimension to heal his injuries!
When he could mobilize a large amount of magical power without aggravating his injuries, he immediately returned to the void.
Although it only stayed in the space for a few hundred years, it still affected the growth of some spiritual creatures because it absorbed a lot of spiritual energy.
Fortunately, none of the precious spiritual creatures withered or died; they were just malnourished, which delayed their maturation time.
After confirming that the surrounding environment was relatively calm, Li Zhirui did not intend to spend time finding another place. Instead, he set up a large array for vigilance and defense, then sat cross-legged and began to heal his injuries.
In the void, he could finally relax and absorb the chaotic spiritual energy without any worries, thus accelerating the healing process.
Chaotic spiritual energy surged in from all directions, and he was like a black hole, accepting all that came and absorbing it into his body. It then transformed into gentle magical power to heal various injuries.
There's not much to say about this.
As time passed, Li Zhirui's breathing gradually returned, which meant that his injuries were healing.
After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes, and the aura he exuded became even more profound.
During his healing process, perhaps because he absorbed a large amount of chaotic spiritual energy, it formed a shape resembling a chaotic storm, causing passing creatures to avoid it. Therefore, he was not disturbed at all during this process!
Although that great battle did not improve his realm or cultivation level, it tempered his magical power, making it more refined and thus increasing his strength.
"It can be considered a blessing in disguise."
After carefully sensing the strength, he sighed and then got up to leave.
Training in the void doesn't require a defined direction, because without a clear goal, it's easy to stray from the path. It's better to act as you please.
As for whether you will encounter chaotic beasts or other creatures, that depends on your luck.
But to Li Zhirui's surprise, after his injuries healed, he encountered no accidents for a long time, and life was peaceful and even a little boring.
Originally, while ferocious beasts weren't exactly everywhere, they were relatively easy to encounter over time. However, the situation seems to have changed now; so much time has passed, yet not a single ferocious beast has been seen!
However, he didn't care too much, because he knew that his current strength was still slightly lacking.
Unlike when he was in the Celestial Immortal Void, where Li Zhirui possessed the perfect Celestial Immortal realm—while not invincible, he was certainly hard to beat—he was different now. Having only recently broken through, he no longer needed to hone his skills through frequent battles.
So he simply relaxed and treated it as a trip, while casually looking around for any chaotic spiritual objects.
……
Meanwhile, in a certain place in the void unknown to Li Zhirui, a large number of chaotic beasts have gathered.
Strangely enough, they were able to coexist peacefully without a major war breaking out.
You should know that they are food for each other, and can be used to improve their cultivation. Under normal circumstances, once they meet, they will fight each other to determine a winner or loser, or life and death.
But this time, the dozens of chaotic beasts stayed quietly together and did not fight!
The reason they gathered together was because they sensed a very precious chaotic spirit object that was about to mature.
In other words, the spirit creatures are not yet mature, so they can barely stay together. But once the spirit creatures mature, a fierce and brutal war will inevitably break out!
Not long after, a faint, exotic fragrance suddenly emanated from the chaos.
Instantly, all the ferocious beasts became extremely agitated. The beasts, who had been waiting for the birth of the spirit creature, could no longer suppress their killing intent and launched attacks on the beasts around them without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, this place turned into a chaotic and fierce battlefield.
The illusion of peace among the ferocious beasts was completely shattered.
Rumbling--
The great battle had just begun when it generated a terrifying shockwave, stirring up a massive amount of chaotic spiritual energy that surged into the distance like a tidal wave.
The ferocious beasts present were all at the Xuanxian realm, with many even reaching the late Xuanxian stage. In their struggle for the sole spiritual treasure, every attack they made was aimed at killing the other.
Soon after the battle broke out, many ferocious beasts were injured due to their lack of strength. They were unwilling to retreat, and their opponents, seeing this, had no intention of letting them off the hook and instead intensified their attack.
They're not stupid. If they don't drive their opponents away completely or disable them now, they'll recover by the time the fighting ends and the opponents will have the upper hand!
In this situation, even the most ferocious beasts that refused to retreat completely lost the possibility of leaving.
But what they didn't know was that when a ferocious beast died, the chaotic spirit that all the ferocious beasts longed for seemed to become even more vibrant!
Some of the weaker beasts also began to flee and leave the battlefield.
Before long, only three ferocious beasts remained on the battlefield, the most powerful of them all, each possessing the cultivation level of a late-stage Xuanxian.
And among them, the final winner will soon be decided!
Roar--
They roared in unison, unleashing their most powerful attacks on the other two ferocious beasts, each seemingly wanting to kill their opponent in one blow and become the sole victor.
However, this did not happen. On the contrary, when the strengths were not too different, the outcome was not so easy to determine.
Their killing moves have almost completely neutralized each other, and even if a little bit of power remains, it won't be able to harm them.
……
After a long and fierce battle, the victor was finally decided among the three most powerful ferocious beasts!
The ferocious beast that had mastered the laws of thunder, though covered in wounds and severely injured, was the one that ultimately emerged victorious.
Just as it dragged its heavily injured body to the front of the spiritual plant, about to open its blood-red maw and swallow it whole, intending to slowly refine it later, the spiritual plant suddenly emitted a ghastly green light that instantly pierced its brow!
Before the ferocious beast could react, a loud explosion rang out, shattering its head into pieces.
"Hahahahaha..."
In the chaos where there were no living beings, only ferocious beasts everywhere, a strange laugh suddenly came from the ground.
The next instant, the chaotic spiritual object that had been targeted by numerous ferocious beasts transformed into a chaotic ferocious beast itself!
That's right! This isn't a precious chaotic spirit object at all, but a ferocious beast in disguise!
Its purpose is to attract a large number of ferocious beasts, then break out into a great battle, resulting in numerous casualties.
It then waits in comfort to reap the rewards of the battle, reaping the lives of the surviving ferocious beasts, and using the corpses of all the beasts as resources for its breakthrough to the Golden Immortal realm!
"Dozens of ferocious beast corpses should be enough for me to break through to the Golden Immortal realm, right?!" It muttered to itself, its eyes filled with joy.
How could a ferocious beast that orchestrated such a scheme not have developed intelligence?
Then it opened its mouth wide and instantly swallowed all the ferocious beast corpses into its belly. It then casually found a place and began to cultivate in seclusion, trying to break through to the Golden Immortal realm!
……
Li Zhirui, who was completely unaware of this, was still wandering in the void to relax and casually looking for chaotic spiritual objects.
"What on earth happened? How could a chaotic spirit object be obtained so easily?"
When Li Zhirui encountered the sixth Chaos Spiritual Object in a short period of time, his curiosity grew even stronger.
Three of them were obtained from what appeared to be the lair of a chaotic beast.
What exactly happened? The ferocious beast even abandoned its own lair?
However, there were no clues left around, so even if Li Zhirui wanted to investigate, he had no way to start.
In the end, he had no choice but to give up the idea of exploring further and continue his travels.
However, he was not as leisurely as before, and his flight speed increased considerably.
Although he couldn't understand what had happened to the ferocious beasts, since they were no longer in their lair, the chaotic spiritual objects they left behind were all unclaimed and should rightfully belong to him!
However, finding the lair of a ferocious beast in the void is largely a matter of luck, and there is no experience to speak of.
Li Zhirui's idea was simple: acquiring another Chaos Spiritual Object would be a huge profit!
In the following period of time, he was seen to transform into a rainbow of light, flying at an extremely fast speed through the void.
However, his luck was probably not very good. After a long time, he still couldn't find a single beast's lair, nor did he discover any more chaotic spirit objects.
"There's movement ahead!"
A thought struck Li Zhirui, who carefully concealed his aura and slowly approached the source of the fluctuation.
Soon, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he had encountered a ferocious beast that was seriously injured and healing itself!
Compared to chaotic spiritual objects, ferocious beasts are significantly more valuable because a single ferocious beast can yield many spiritual objects of the same level, all of which are valuable items.
'Don't rush, don't get agitated, and don't let it escape!'
This is such a great opportunity, we absolutely can't miss it!
Li Zhirui slowly approached, and then began to prepare for the use of his supernatural powers, especially by scattering a large number of Chaos Star Vine seeds to set up a cage.
Only in this way can we ensure that nothing goes wrong!
He wouldn't underestimate the beast's strength just because it was severely injured. After all, it was a beast at the mid-stage of the Profound Immortal realm, and it must have some extraordinary abilities to survive in the void.
Perhaps this ferocious beast's forte is escaping?
In a short while, Li Zhirui had completed all the preparations. Then, without hesitation, he immediately formed hand seals and unleashed his supernatural powers.
Rumbling--
In the next instant, countless vines and giant trees rose from the ground, forming not only a massive vine cage but also a dense forest as a second layer of defense. (End of Chapter)
