Chapter 1709
Departure
Meanwhile, Li Zhirui had successfully reached the edge of the world's fetal membranes.
Just as he was about to use up his merits to settle his karma, a spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared not far away, and a powerful Taiyi cultivator slowly appeared.
This sudden turn of events made him very nervous, and he was already prepared to leave the Myriad Profound Realm immediately.
"Your Excellency need not be alarmed. I have come here to ask you for a favor." Then, a gentle female voice rang out.
A figure that Li Zhirui had seen before appeared in front of him.
This person is none other than Tianlan, whom he rescued from the seal before!
But her current level of cultivation truly surprised him. When she was trapped in the seal, she should have been a Golden Immortal.
Unexpectedly, after only a few years, the other party had become a Taiyi Golden Immortal!
Such an astonishing speed of cultivation was unbelievable to anyone, yet it truly appeared before Li Zhirui's eyes.
"Greetings, senior."
He remained secretly vigilant, prepared to flee at any moment, and asked, "What are your instructions, senior?"
The fact that she suddenly appeared in front of him made him wonder if there were any hidden secrets in the techniques she had taught him that he was unaware of.
Li Zhirui did not overstep his bounds just because he was the other party's 'savior', and therefore his attitude was quite respectful.
"Judging from your current cultivation level, you're planning to leave the Myriad Profound Realm and return to the void to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, right?"
Tianlan ignored his wariness, chuckled, and pointed out his purpose. She also explained why she was there, saying, "I deduced a long time ago that there was an opportunity for me to transcend the Myriad Profound Realms here and now, but I never expected that the opportunity would fall on you, young friend."
"This junior is of limited ability and I'm afraid I can't be of any help." Li Zhirui didn't quite understand what the other party meant, but he was not going to stay in the Myriad Profound Realm any longer.
"Young friend, you are being far too modest."
Tianlan said with a smile, "The purifying lotus seed in your hand has caused quite a stir in the Myriad Profound Realms."
Li Zhirui's eyelids twitched. He had done an excellent job of concealing his identity, so how could she have seen through it so easily?
And judging from the looks of it, she came here specifically to purify the lotus seeds.
"When you rescued me, you exposed the laws of your cultivation. And the series of grand actions taken by the Immortal Alliance immediately reminded me of you."
"If it were a being from this realm, with the Immortal Alliance's capabilities, it would be impossible for them not to find the other party's whereabouts. Therefore, it is only beings from outside the realm, whose heavenly secrets are not within the Myriad Profound Realms, that would leave them helpless."
Tianlan said patiently, "When I calculated the opportunity for transcendence and saw you, I understood what was going on."
It must be said that she was indeed very intelligent, managing to piece together these fragmented pieces of information in a very short time and arrive at the correct answer.
"Of course, I won't ask for purified lotus seeds for nothing. If you give me 100,000 purified lotus seeds, I will pass on all my insights and experiences in breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm, including my cultivation experience in the Golden Immortal realm."
If Li Zhirui had simply listened quietly to what the other party had said before, feeling surprised but not particularly concerned, then he was truly tempted by the condition she finally offered!
Does he want to break through to the Golden Immortal realm? Ask any being who has reached the Perfected Profound Immortal realm and the answer will be affirmative, and he is no exception.
The insights and experiences gained from a Golden Immortal's breakthrough are invaluable and cannot be measured in spirit crystals, as they are almost never traded!
As for the cultivation experience of the Golden Immortal Realm, Li Zhirui didn't care much, because everyone's cultivation is different, especially the higher the realm, the more obvious the difference becomes.
Sometimes, it might be beneficial to her cultivation, but for him, it might be useless or even become an obstacle.
While the 100,000 purified lotus seeds she mentioned were a large quantity and would require a significant amount of spirit crystals to cultivate, these costs were insignificant compared to the greater chance of breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm.
But seeing that he did not agree immediately, Tianlan said again, "In addition, I can also give you two Taiyi-level water and wood spiritual items."
“I can make this deal with you, senior, but I don’t have enough purified lotus seeds right now. Please wait a few days.” Coming to his senses, Li Zhirui agreed without hesitation.
Although doing so might expose some of his secrets, since the other party knows that he is an extraterrestrial being and that there is no hidden force behind him.
The fact that a large number of purified lotus seeds could be gathered in such a short time seems to hide a big secret.
However, in order to break through to the Golden Immortal realm faster and with greater certainty, he decided to take the risk!
Anyway, after this transaction, Li Zhirui will leave the Myriad Profound Realm. In the vast void, and at different levels of the void, it is almost impossible to encounter the other party. So what else does he have to worry about?
He didn't care why the other party needed so many purified lotus seeds.
However, he and his companion quickly realized that the other party intended to use these purified lotus seeds to gain a large amount of merit, thereby achieving the goal of transcendence.
Where does merit come from? Only from those dark and evil places.
In other words, is there really a third, or even more, sinister place within the Myriad Realms?
The thought flashed through Li Zhirui's mind, but he didn't care. What did the affairs of the Myriad Profound Realms have to do with him, an extraterrestrial being?
"no problem."
Tianlan didn't delve into it, because in her view, everyone has their own secrets. Even if she knew the other person's secrets, it wouldn't necessarily help her. On the contrary, it would easily cause some unnecessary twists and turns in the transaction, wasting her time. She smiled and said, "I'll give you ten days, is that enough?"
"enough!"
Li Zhirui didn't know if the time she gave was a coincidence or for some other reason, but it was the same time he had previously agreed to at the exchange with Qianji Pavilion. He just felt that the other party was more and more unfathomable, and asked again: "May I ask, senior, what quality do you plan to get for these 100,000 purified lotus seeds?"
She pondered for a moment and said, "I only need five hundred Heavenly Immortal-level lotus seeds, one thousand Earthly Immortal-level lotus seeds, and the rest will be Loose Immortal-level seeds."
"it is good!"
"Then I will come again in ten days."
Having said that, Tianlan opened a spatial rift and turned to leave.
"call--"
Li Zhirui breathed a sigh of relief. Facing a Taiyi Golden Immortal was still very stressful, even though the other party did not deliberately release his own pressure.
This was different from his previous deal with Elder Hai Cang of the Qianji Pavilion. The Qianji Pavilion had a great reputation and deep foundation, so there was no need for them to take action against him and ruin their reputation and credibility that they had built up over the years. More importantly, the other party did not know his background as an extraterrestrial being!
But Tianlan is different. The concealment techniques he now possesses were taught to him by her, and since she is all alone, there is nothing that can restrict her behavior.
Li Zhirui quickly calmed himself down and turned to disappear into the spatial dimension.
This time, he will work with those demon spirits to quickly generate a large number of purified lotus seeds.
Those demons didn't expect that, not long after, they would once again find themselves in an extremely busy and arduous situation.
However, they did not complain, but worked very hard to complete the tasks he assigned.
To be honest, Li Zhirui hadn't been this busy in a long time. It seemed easy; all he had to do was take out the purified lotus seeds and spirit crystals, and under the influence of the space, they would quickly hatch and grow, maturing in no time.
But if you repeat this action thousands of times, you'll become exhausted and numb. ...
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Almost at the same moment as ten days ago, Tianlan broke through space and appeared at the edge of the Myriad Profound Realms.
Li Zhirui had been waiting here for half an hour, and had stored 100,000 purified lotus seeds in his storage magic treasure, just waiting for her to appear so that the transaction could be completed.
However, his condition was really not good. Even though he managed to rest for a while, he still looked very tired.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Tianlan flipped her hand and took out two jade slips and two jade boxes, which she handed directly to Li Zhirui, showing no fear that he would snatch them away and having no intention of completing the transaction.
He naturally wouldn't do something so foolish. He obediently handed over the storage magic item before putting away the jade slip and jade box.
Neither of them checked what they were holding, because they both trusted that the other wouldn't lie about this matter, which could be considered a form of trust.
"With your talent, you will break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm sooner or later. Perhaps then, we will have a chance to meet again in the void."
"Thank you for the compliment, senior."
Li Zhirui was very humble, but he knew it was impossible, because his future path was not in the vast void, but in a world!
"Now that this matter is settled, I will take my leave."
“If anyone’s leaving, it’s me. You should stay here and resolve your karmic ties with the Myriad Profound Realms first.”
Before she finished speaking, Tianlan's figure disappeared.
Li Zhirui pursed his lips. He felt as if his every move and action was being monitored, as if the other party knew everything...
However, when he obtained the secret method, he specifically checked and deduced it, and there were no problems, so he was able to cultivate it with peace of mind.
However, after this encounter with Tianlan, he couldn't help but wonder if it was because his cultivation level was too low that he couldn't detect any problems with the secret technique.
"Never mind, we're leaving the Myriad Profound Realm soon. Even if there are problems, they won't be able to hold me accountable in the future."
Li Zhirui suppressed these chaotic thoughts, and he didn't think the other party had the ability to pass through two layers of void and know his actions.
If she had such abilities, she wouldn't have been trapped in the seal for tens of thousands of years, and he was the one who rescued her in the end.
Therefore, he stopped dwelling on the matter and used all the merits he had gained in the Myriad Realms to offset his own karma.
sizzle-
Just like when water and fire are in a standoff, both are rapidly depleting each other.
But in the end, it was slightly better because it had more merit.
As for the remaining merit, Li Zhirui did not waste it, but instead infused it into a spirit sword to further enhance the grade of the magic weapon.
The merits he accumulated in other worlds were used in this way. Why not leave them behind? Because, in a sense, merits are also a special kind of cause and effect!
If he leaves it behind, it means that his entanglement with this world is not completely over, and he naturally wouldn't leave any hidden dangers for himself.
After accumulating merit over several worlds, this longsword has become a true treasure of merit.
Then the longsword transformed into a golden stream of light and entered his sea of consciousness from between his eyebrows!
The longsword that Li Zhirui specially forged was not for fighting or killing enemies, as he himself was not good at those things. Instead, it was used to suppress his consciousness and prevent inner demons from taking advantage of his weakness.
On another note!
After Li Zhirui completely settled his karmic ties with the Myriad Profound Realms, he felt a faint sense of rejection, but it wasn't particularly noticeable.
However, after he canceled the concealment technique and revealed his identity as an extraterrestrial being, the Heavenly Dao instantly flew into a rage, directly informing all living beings that an external enemy had invaded and marking its location.
"They've completely turned their backs on us..."
Li Zhirui pursed his lips, but without the slightest hesitation, he took a step and left the Myriad Profound Realm directly.
However, the gift he left for the Myriad Realms before his departure caused quite a stir.
After all, in the eyes of all living beings, the invading extraterrestrial being only appeared for a moment before disappearing without a trace. Either it had immense power, or it simply turned around and left.
If it's the latter, there's nothing to worry about. But if it's the former, then they need to consider whether an extremely terrifying war, such as a war between two worlds, might occur.
Perhaps only Tianlan knew what was going on, so when the Heavenly Dao gave her a warning, she just smiled and didn't take it to heart at all.
Moreover, she is currently preparing for a major event: to purify an entire area of evil spirits all by herself!
If she succeeds, she will gain a great deal of merit, which will accelerate her attainment of her goal of transcendence.
……
the other side.
Li Zhirui returned to the void he had been away from for so long, but which remained unchanged!
"The trip yielded far more results than expected..."
Looking at the hazy, chaotic spiritual energy, he couldn't help but sigh, and the bright smile on his face showed just how happy he was.
Originally, his goal in entering the Myriad Profound Realms was simply to help himself advance further and break through to the late stage of the Profound Immortal realm. But who could have imagined that he would break through to the Perfect Profound Immortal realm in one fell swoop, only one step away from becoming a Golden Immortal!
In addition, there was a huge surprise: the deal he made with Tianlan before leaving the Myriad Profound Realm gave him insights and experiences on how to break through to the Golden Immortal realm.
The other three spiritual items were not that important to Li Zhirui.
As for the massive amounts of spirit crystals and spiritual items he obtained from his transactions with the Yuntian Sect and the Immortal Alliance in the Myriad Profound Realms, they might double his wealth, but none of them were as important as that jade slip.
"Seize the time to improve your cultivation, and then strive to break through to the Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible!"
To avoid bearing too much karma, Li Zhirui, although he broke through in the Myriad Profound Realms, did not improve his cultivation level and remained at the mid-stage of the Profound Immortal realm.
Therefore, his main task now is to catch up with the cultivation level before considering anything else. (End of Chapter)
