Chapter 1661
Failure
Upon hearing these words, the demonic cultivator's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Li Zhirui with a shocked expression.
If the other party actually does that, then his threat is indeed useless.
Moreover, it seems the other party is quite knowledgeable about demonic cultivators and doesn't believe his words at all.
"Ah!"
Upon seeing this, Li Zhirui couldn't help but let out a cold laugh and immediately prepared to kill the man.
"Wait! I know the locations of the two great worlds. If you spare my life, I'll take you there!"
The demonic cultivator hurriedly shouted, "Don't you cultivators love going to different worlds to comprehend the laws and improve your cultivation levels? The two Great Thousand Worlds I mentioned are both high-level worlds capable of accommodating Taiyi Realm cultivators!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui indeed stopped what he was doing, which immediately put Li Zhirui at ease.
The two great worlds mentioned by this demonic cultivator, one must be the world he lives in, and the other must be the one he accidentally discovered in the void.
Moreover, the world's quality is so high, it is indeed very tempting.
Although the void has a higher limit, it is not actually suitable for long-term training because it is too empty and not as rich and colorful as the interior of the world, where it is easier to encounter opportunities.
But Li Zhirui did not believe him. Instead, he asked, "How did you manage to pinpoint the location of a Taiyi-level Great Thousand World that has nothing to do with you?"
Given a choice, he certainly wouldn't go to this person's world; that would be like walking into a trap!
So he only asked about the other world.
“I left my clone in that world, so I can pinpoint its location,” the demonic cultivator quickly replied, his anxiety lessening as before.
It was obvious that the other party had already taken a liking to him, and since he needed the other party to lead the way, his own life was guaranteed, and he didn't have to worry about suddenly losing his head.
As for the promise to spare his life after the deed is done? Even if the other party agreed, he wouldn't believe it. It would only buy him a little more time to try and find an opportunity to escape along the way.
"Really?"
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Li Zhirui's face, and the demonic cultivator had a bad feeling.
Then he continued, "If that's the case, then your life is of no use to me!"
Since they are clones, their souls must be closely connected; otherwise, they would not be clones, but rather a more advanced form of external avatar.
In this way, Li Zhirui could completely bind the person's soul and then use it as evidence to find his clone, without having to take the person with him when moving in the void.
It should be noted that he was able to capture a Xuanxian demon cultivator so easily this time only through scheming. In a real battle, it would have been impossible to capture him so easily.
Not to mention having to hold the other person captive in the void, not knowing how long they would have to walk or whether their destination was even correct.
If anything unexpected happens during this time, the other party could very well escape.
How could Li Zhirui not know about such an obvious and huge hidden danger?
So when the demonic cultivator mentioned clones, he came up with this perfect solution!
"What! How could you be so cruel!"
However, the demonic cultivator involved began to struggle frantically after hearing these words, trying to break free of the restraints.
But the more he did this, the tighter the restraints became, until they were embedded in his flesh and blood, rendering him unable to move, and he had no choice but to stop.
He could only glare angrily at Li Zhirui.
Unfortunately, this approach did not cause him any harm or deterrence.
Immediately afterward, under the demonic cultivator's gaze, which was filled with a mixture of anger, resentment, and pleading, Li Zhirui enslaved the man's soul, then extracted the soul from his body and sealed it into a small soul-nourishing jade.
As for this person's physical body, it was burned to ashes in a great fire.
At the same time that this demonic cultivator died and vanished into nothingness, in a certain high-level Great Thousand World, the life tablet representing him suddenly shattered.
The demonic cultivator on guard simply glanced up after hearing the commotion, then looked away without investigating further or telling anyone else, as if nothing had happened.
……
Although Li Zhirui wasn't very good at tracking and positioning techniques, he had mastered them. Even if he couldn't pinpoint the exact location, he could still get the general direction right.
It's just that the efficiency is relatively slow, and it requires constant correction and modification.
However, these troubles were nothing compared to finding the Great Thousand World of the Taiyi level, and he didn't care about the time spent along the way.
If we finally find it, then all the effort we've put in will be worthwhile!
And so, Li Zhirui embarked alone on a long and uncertain journey, with no end in sight.
……
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
The Celestial Ranks are in the void.
Qingxuan, Qingpeng, and Qingcang traveled together, and even if they encountered any dangers, they were able to easily overcome them with their strength.
However, this doesn't necessarily improve their performance, because there isn't enough pressure to motivate them.
As a result, they didn't seem to be traveling at all, but rather playing in the void.
"This won't do! Although we can obtain a lot of spiritual items, they are not of much use to our own cultivation level."
It's important to understand that their primary goal is to break through to the Xuanxian realm, not to acquire spiritual items.
Therefore, when the three realized that something was wrong, they stopped and began to discuss whether they could find a useful solution.
This can't go on; it will be difficult for all three of them to improve their cultivation levels.
But they couldn't just separate now, because even Qingpeng and Qingcang, who had never been to the void before, had now deeply experienced its boundless vastness and knew clearly that once they separated, they would probably never have the chance to meet again.
"How about this? You guys see if it's feasible."
After thinking for a while, Qingcang said, "Whenever the three of us encounter a ferocious beast or other creature, one of us will deal with it, and the other two must not interfere."
"In this way, we can not only train ourselves while working with others, but also benefit from our own experience."
Of course, if the opponent is numerous and powerful, it's impossible to send only one person to fight.
After all, their goal is to hone their skills, not to go and die.
"That's a good idea!"
Qingxuan and Qingpeng both thought it was quite suitable, so they nodded in agreement.
As for how to determine the order? Naturally, it will be based on the time they followed Li Zhirui.
So when they encountered a ferocious beast not long after, it was Qingxuan who took the lead in fighting it.
Although Qingxuan was trying his best to make up for his lack of combat power, it was difficult to see any significant results in the short term. Therefore, his fighting style remained the same: slowly wearing down his opponent's mana and finally winning by relying on his own vast and powerful mana.
Moreover, because Qingpeng and Qingcang were there, even if the ferocious beast tried to escape when it saw that things were not going well, it was stopped by the two of them working together.
After a fierce battle, Qingxuan finally ended the fight.
He naturally won; after all, he was a Celestial Immortal at the peak of his cultivation, making him stronger. If there was any shortcoming, it was that the process took a long time.
Most importantly, this method is more effective at improving one's spiritual level than before.
"That's a good idea. Let's take turns fighting," Qingxuan said with satisfaction.
After receiving the experimental results, the three of them felt less frustrated.
As for which of the three will seize the opportunity first and break through to the Xuanxian realm, that depends on each person's fate. Besides, opportunities are always unpredictable.
After a period of training, the three of them were in better condition, but they were still far from breaking through.
In other words, they have all encountered a bottleneck!
"I don't even know how Ninth Brother broke through to the Xuanxian realm back then. I have no clue. He had to figure everything out on his own." Qingxuan suddenly sighed.
It was only after parting ways with Li Zhirui that they realized how good and comfortable their lives had been before.
There's absolutely no need to worry about cultivation, because Li Zhirui will share his insights and experiences for you to study, along with various cultivation resources.
What they need to do is to cultivate diligently, improve their strength, and live up to Li Zhirui's expectations.
But now that I'm in the void, I have to rely on myself for everything.
"Who can argue with that?"
A hint of melancholy also flashed in the eyes of the other two.
The difficulty of breaking through to the Profound Immortal Realm is much greater than they imagined!
However, none of the three were ordinary people, and they quickly put this sadness aside, continuing to bury themselves in their cultivation, seeking an opportunity for a breakthrough.
Rumbling--
A loud commotion suddenly came from not far in front of the three of them.
"Should we go take a look?" Qingxuan asked the other two about their plans. If he were alone, he would definitely fly in that direction without hesitation, but now he was considering their opinions.
"go!"
Qingpeng and Qingcang did not refuse; on the contrary, they were eager to find out what was happening ahead.
Soon, the three approached the source of the fluctuations, and what came into view were two chaotic beasts fighting each other.
Almost as soon as they arrived at their location, Qingpeng and Qingcang attacked the ferocious beast.
The two ferocious beasts were also surprised that two cultivators suddenly appeared and attacked them when they were fighting so well and were almost at the point of determining a winner!
Their strength was actually not bad, but because they had consumed too much magic power in the previous battle, they were unable to exert their full strength in the subsequent battle and were defeated by the two.
After harvesting all the spiritual items from the ferocious beast, a thought suddenly popped into Qingpeng's mind.
"What do you think about using the flesh and blood of these two ferocious beasts as bait to attract other creatures to come to us?"
Wasn't it said that these chaotic beasts were used as food and cultivation resources by other beasts? Then this flesh and blood should be helpful to them as well.
If his idea could be realized, it would solve the problem that they had to spend a lot of time searching for living beings in the void, but often to no avail.
Upon hearing this idea, the two men's eyes lit up; they hadn't really thought of doing it this way before.
"Give it a try!"
Qingxuan said excitedly, "By the way, Qingpeng, could you stir up a few gusts of wind to spread the aura of these flesh and blood to a greater distance?"
The three of them were immersed in the joy of not having to rush, searching for the murderer, and waiting for them to come to them on their own, but they overlooked a problem!
That is, if they attract too many ferocious beasts at once, and the strength of the two sides is vastly different, will they still be hunters?
Not long after, a ferocious beast arrived at the place and was handed over to Qingxuan to deal with.
Immediately afterwards, another ferocious beast arrived and fell into Qingpeng's hands.
Before they could even rejoice, a third ferocious beast appeared.
"I didn't expect this method to be so convenient."
Even at this point, the three of them were still unaware of the problem, and were even complacent about having solved one.
It wasn't until the fourth and fifth ferocious beasts appeared that they suddenly realized something was wrong.
The effect of that flesh and blood in attracting the ferocious beasts seems too good!
No one knows how many more ferocious beasts are on their way.
"Something's not right. Let's retreat from the battlefield and observe how things develop from a distance!" Qingcang was the first to react and immediately shouted to the other two.
"it is good!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Qingxuan and Qingpeng forcibly ended the battle and joined forces with Qingcang.
"I didn't expect this flesh and blood to be so effective; it's probably attracted all the ferocious beasts from thousands of miles around."
The three of them joined forces to cast a spell and hid to the side to avoid being discovered by the chaotic beast.
And in such a short time, two more ferocious beasts arrived!
Currently, there are already seven Chaos Beasts in the vicinity, and the number may increase.
At this moment, fear and apprehension appeared in the eyes of all three of them. If they had reacted any later, they might already be surrounded.
Roar!
Without the three of them in the middle drawing the enemy's attention, the ferocious beasts quickly erupted into a chaotic battle, attacking wildly, each wanting to take the other's life and turn them into their own food.
The shockwaves generated by this battle were far stronger than before, and the three had no choice but to continue retreating to avoid being exposed.
"Looks like we can be the fishermen again!"
Once the three of them came to their senses, they were no longer as nervous and worried as before.
These ferocious beasts kill each other, and when the time is right, they will make their move and easily obtain a large number of spiritual items.
Thinking of this bright future, smiles appeared on the faces of all three.
But things didn't turn out the way they expected.
Using the flesh and blood, they attracted a total of seven ferocious beasts. In order to compete for supplies and devour each other, they broke out into a chaotic battle.
After a fierce battle, two ferocious beasts, comparable to celestial beings at their peak, fought to the very end.
But they seemed to possess some kind of intelligence; they tacitly ceased their fighting, each taking half of the corpse and departing. (End of Chapter)
