Chapter 1649
Waiting
Of course, this statement is somewhat exaggerated.
But it's true that the beast's strength was far inferior to Li Zhirui's.
Unfortunately, it still managed to escape, and we were unable to keep it.
As for whether it will continue to harm the Chaos Beasts, he couldn't care less.
However, if he were to encounter the other party again in the void, he would use the same trick again. After all, who wouldn't be tempted by such a generous reward?
Looking at the corpses of ferocious beasts scattered all over the ground, Li Zhirui's face broke into a bright smile. Who would have thought he would have such a rich harvest?
It is no exaggeration to say that this was not only the most fruitful and abundant harvest he had ever obtained since entering the void, but its value even surpassed all the spiritual items he had acquired before!
To avoid attracting other creatures with the strong, rich stench of blood, the stench emanating from these twenty-two ferocious beast corpses could probably travel tens of thousands of miles away.
Therefore, Li Zhirui decided to dispose of the corpses in his spatial dimension. With a wave of his hand, he directly collected all the corpses into his spatial dimension, and then he followed them in.
His idea was not wrong, because not long after, several human cultivators followed the scent and arrived at the place.
"Not long ago, a massive and devastating battle broke out here," a Xuanxian cultivator said, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
Even now, they could still smell the strong, pungent stench of blood.
"At least a dozen Xuanxian beings must have died for this to happen," another person speculated.
"It's a pity we arrived a step too late." A certain immortal sighed with regret.
Judging from the fact that apart from the smell of blood, there was nothing else left at the scene, there must have been a final victor in this battle. It's just unknown whether it was a single person or several people.
But in either case, their condition is definitely not good!
If you encounter them, all the gains will fall into their hands.
I can hardly believe how lucrative that would be!
"You guys think it might be related to the fact that we've been in the void for a while now but haven't encountered any chaotic beasts?"
Although it hasn't been a very long time, it's still several hundred years, yet not a single ferocious beast has been encountered, which is quite strange.
"That's quite possible!" Several Xuanxian thought it made a lot of sense.
But they couldn't guess what the specific relationship was.
Upon hearing this, the Xuanxian with the strongest aura seemed to have thought of something, his brows furrowed slightly, and his expression became somewhat solemn, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Let's go."
Because it was only for a brief moment, no one noticed anything unusual about him.
Since there's no point in wasting time here, there's no need to gain anything from it.
Furthermore, that speculation needs to be verified.
As he set off, the group of immortals all fell silent, ceasing their conversation, and hurriedly used their escape techniques to follow him.
Soon, the group disappeared.
……
at the same time.
Inside his personal space, Li Zhirui was busy separating the spiritual objects from the ferocious beasts and then carefully sealing them away to prevent their spirituality from gradually dissipating and reducing their value over time.
His movements are becoming increasingly swift, and he can quickly separate all the spiritual objects from a corpse.
While he was dealing with the ferocious beast's corpse, the demons in the space didn't dare to approach. They could only watch from afar and whisper among themselves.
"The master's strength is becoming more and more terrifying; he can actually kill so many chaotic beasts."
The tone conveyed not only fear, but also reverence and worship.
The other demon spirit shook its head and said, "I don't think so. You don't have that much strength yet."
"Then tell me, where did all these ferocious beast corpses come from? They couldn't have just fallen from the sky!"
The demon spirit was speechless. How could a weak demon spirit with little knowledge know such a thing?
They could only silently back down and stop participating in their discussions.
……
"Finally, all the spirit objects have been dealt with!"
Several hours later, Li Zhirui couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"I didn't expect dealing with spirit objects to be so difficult."
However, this kind of blissful trouble is something that other living beings could never experience, even if they wanted to.
Looking at the spiritual objects piled up in front of him, filling seventy or eighty jade boxes, Li Zhirui's smile grew even brighter.
He couldn't even imagine how astonishingly astronomical the value of this magical item would be!
Although he wants to sell now but has nowhere to sell, he will eventually encounter the Chaos Merchant Guild again, and it won't be too late then.
Li Zhirui stored all the jade boxes into his storage magic treasure. As for the remaining beast flesh and blood, he planned to bury them underground to increase the concentration of spiritual energy in the space.
You should know that this land in the space can not only be used to plant and cultivate spiritual creatures, but also to refine all other spiritual creatures, even those that only have a sliver of life left!
Previously, all the waste pills he refined were poured into the space to nourish this mysterious spiritual field.
The flesh and blood of the ferocious beasts that Li Zhirui had killed before all became resources to increase the spiritual energy of the space.
At most, he could save a few dozen kilograms of blood from each corpse, and perhaps he would meet a suitable talisman maker in the future.
"By the way, could this flesh and blood be used to refine elixirs?"
A thought suddenly popped into Li Zhirui's mind.
In theory, this is feasible, because many alchemists believe in the saying that everything can be used to make pills!
Once its medicinal properties and effects are understood, and with the proper combination of principal, assistant, adjuvant, and guide herbs, and after several experiments, success should be achievable.
But Li Zhirui only thought about it and had no intention of actually taking action.
The reason is simple: for him, alchemy was merely an auxiliary means that could help him on his path to enlightenment.
For example, pills that increase mana, pills that restore mana, and pills that heal injuries are all like this.
If one's own cultivation is delayed because of alchemy, then it would be a loss.
He might try this idea when he has enough time in the future, but right now, Li Zhirui doesn't have that much free time or energy.
Not long after, he buried all twenty-odd corpses of Xuanxian-level ferocious beasts underground.
The moment the corpse was completely covered by the soil, a mysterious power silently appeared, beginning to refine the flesh and blood, transforming it into spiritual energy.
However, this sudden increase in spiritual energy did not spread in the space; instead, it began to compress and evolve towards the direction of the spiritual vein.
In this way, although the spiritual energy in the space did not surge, the appearance of the spiritual veins allowed the spiritual energy in the space to increase permanently.
In comparison, the current plan is better.
Seeing this, Li Zhirui's eyes gleamed; this series of changes was something he had never expected.
Suddenly, he realized that he was still very unfamiliar with space, and that he seemed to have never truly mastered this special space.
He stood there stunned for a long time, but in the end he gave up the idea of investigating further.
Since he hasn't discovered any problems with the space over the years, what conclusions can he draw if he investigates it now?
So for now, Li Zhirui can only keep this problem to himself and find a way to solve it when his cultivation level improves.
The group of demons not far away had no idea what he was thinking; they only felt that their living environment had become better.
"It's nice to be carefree like this..."
Seeing the happy smiles on their faces, Li Zhirui said something softly, then turned and left the space.
The next instant, he appeared in the void. Without much hesitation, he continued flying forward.
……
Celestial Steps in the Void.
Qingxuan got into a fight with a certain being because of a chaotic spiritual object.
Compared to the sparsely populated Xuanxian level void, the first level of the void is significantly more lively.
This is not only because there are more celestial beings in the universe, but also because the celestial realm does not impose any restrictions on terrestrial beings.
Therefore, many daring earth immortals will also enter the void to train.
This bustling atmosphere also leads to a phenomenon: frequent battles!
With Qingxuan's current perfect Celestial Immortal realm, he is stronger than that being, but he is better at defense and his offensive methods are not particularly strong.
That's why the two sides have been locked in a stalemate until now, with no clear winner yet.
However, Qingxuan held an absolute advantage, but the opponent was unwilling to give up.
"enough!"
At first, he was patient and thought he could improve his attack power in the battle, but as time went on, he didn't want to waste any more time.
To end the battle, Qingxuan directly overwhelmed his opponent with brute force, since in addition to his extremely strong defense, he also had the advantage of exceptionally abundant and pure magical power.
Rumbling--
A colossal wave, like a tidal wave, crashed down upon the creature.
Seeing that the other party was truly enraged, he dared not linger and immediately fled as fast as he could.
Qingxuan did not chase after him. He put the spiritual object into his storage magic treasure, counted the chaotic spiritual objects he had obtained in the void over the years, and then did some calculations in his mind. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
That's enough!
It turns out that he left the Yuanling Realm and came to the void to train in order to find chaotic spiritual objects to settle his karma when he transcended.
Over the years, he has been quite lucky, acquiring a total of twenty-nine Chaos Spiritual Objects!
Of course, they were all celestial-level spiritual objects.
Of these, nearly half of the spiritual objects were obtained by Qingxuan through killing a celestial being.
"It's time to go back and prepare for transcendence!"
With so many spiritual beings, plus the merits he has accumulated, it is enough to repay all the karmic debts.
Therefore, Qingxuan traveled at an extremely fast speed on his way back to the Yuanling Realm.
Jiang Fengwu, who was also training in the void and searching for chaotic spiritual objects, was not so lucky.
She stayed longer, but only found eleven or twelve spiritual items, which was far from enough.
"If all else fails, we'll have to target other living beings!"
Thinking of this, a murderous intent flashed in Jiang Fengwu's eyes; she was not a soft-hearted person.
In order to transcend this as soon as possible, she ultimately chose this path!
……
at the same time.
In the Yuanling Realm, within the Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain.
Qingpeng and Qingxuan, who were already prepared to transcend, were making their final checks.
"Should we wait for Qingxuan? It would be safer for the three of us to train together in the void."
Qingcang suddenly spoke up, "Moreover, he is more familiar with the void than we are with it, who only know about the void from the jade slip."
"Then we'll wait another three hundred years. If he still hasn't returned by then, we'll stop waiting."
The reason for setting a three-hundred-year deadline was twofold: first, Qingcang hoped that Qingxuan could return in time; second, they could not wait any longer.
Few members of the Li family knew that the two of them were about to transcend worldly desires.
Because they did not intend to send their family's celestial cultivators to the void to protect them.
It wasn't that they were worried the Li family cultivators might have any bad intentions, but rather that there were two of them, and they could completely protect each other.
As for whether this process will take twice as long, they don't care.
Another reason is that with their departure, the Li family's strength will decline significantly. In order to prevent unforeseen circumstances, more Celestial Immortals are needed to stay in the family to oversee things.
……
Sun rises and sets, spring goes and autumn comes.
It seems like just yesterday that more than two hundred years have passed.
The person that Qingpeng and Qingcang were waiting for also returned to the Yuanling Realm in their final decades.
"You're finally back!"
Qingpeng said with a smile, "If you don't come back soon, I will transcend with Qingcang first, leaving you alone to train in the void."
"You two were waiting for me?"
Qingxuan was somewhat surprised and touched. He hadn't expected that Qingpeng and Qingcang would have their cultivation delayed because of him.
"Go and recover quickly, get ready, and then the three of us will transcend together." The two did not answer directly, but urged.
"I see."
But Qingxuan had already gotten the answer he wanted. He smiled and returned to his cave to recover his magical power and adjust his condition.
A few months later, he put himself in a perfect state.
"Clan leader, the three of us intend to transcend simultaneously."
Afterwards, Qingxuan summoned Qingpeng and Qingcang to the family hall and told the new patriarch about their decision.
With a whoosh, the clan leader jumped up, his face showing some fear, and said, "Three Spirit Ancestors, is there anything the clan has done wrong? Please point it out, and we will definitely correct it!"
It's no wonder the clan leader was so flustered, because Qingxuan and the other two are the only three Heavenly Immortals at the peak of their cultivation in the clan, and they are of extremely high seniority.
Once they all transcend and depart, the Li family will not only weaken, but will also lose these elders who grew up with the family.
"It's not a family issue, but rather a consideration of one's own path in life."
Qingxuan reassured them, "Besides, even if we leave, the family still has more than a dozen Celestial Immortals. With them around, there's no need to worry about the family's safety."
The patriarch remained silent. Of course he knew all this, but their departure would definitely cause a huge uproar in the clan.
But they all said it was for their own spiritual path, so he couldn't even bring himself to say anything to persuade them to stay.
"Should we arrange for a few celestial beings to protect the spirit ancestors?"
Qingxuan shook his head and said, "No need. It's better for them to stay in the family just in case."
"Time is up."
Qingpeng spoke up to remind him. (End of Chapter)
