Fu Li was taken aback when he heard that, his expression a mixture of surprise and curiosity.
At the end of the day, he was only a late-stage Heaven grade cultivator, and even that was mainly thanks to the pills he had gotten from Shun Long the last time he visited the sect, so the young man didn't know what Shun Long could possibly want to discuss with him.
Although Fu Li didn't underestimate himself, he knew that he wasn't really exceptional at anything in particular. Even his talent in cultivation was only mediocre at the end of the day. In fact, with all those resources he had obtained from Shun Long the last time, Fu Li knew that he should have stepped into the Spirit realm long ago and shouldn't have remained just a late-stage Heaven grade cultivator.
Nevertheless, the chubby young man still patted his chest and said proudly
''Brother, whatever it is you want, there is no need to hold back. No matter what, you are still my brother. As long as it's something within my power, I'll definitely do my best to help you!''
Looking at Fu Li who was puffing out his chest with a dependable look, his expression ically similar to Shun Fen's, Shun Long couldn't help but smirk before he shook his head and continued
''Alright, wait until you hear what I'm going to say first. You can decide if you want to e with me after that.''
A few moments later, Shun Long led Fu Li and Liu Mei into a small forest not too far from the 'Floating Cloud sect', before he sat down and continued
''Fatty, do you want to leave the sect and follow me to the central continent?''
Shun Long didn't waste any time, going directly to the point as he looked at his friend and asked with a serious expression.
''Leave the sect..?'' Fu Li was at a loss for words as he looked at Shun Long and then Liu Mei, his mind short-circuiting for a moment.
It's not like he had never thought of leaving the 'Floating Cloud sect', but even if he did, where would he go? Besides, although Fu Li had never visited the 'Night star continent' previously, he had already heard rumors about how dangerous that place was.
Apparently, even Spirit realm cultivators could be seen everywhere there, while Nascent Soul stage experts weren't even the strongest cultivators in the continent.
With a hesitant look, Fu Li looked at Shun Long and answered meekly
''Brother... it's not that I don't want to e with you, but you know I'm only a Heaven grade cultivator. Although I'm somewhat respected within the sect, I can't be considered anyone important throughout the whole Desolate East, let alone the 'Night star continent' where you and sister Liu are in.''
Shaking his head, Shun Long realized that he had yet to explain anything about the central continent to Fu Li, who thought that he and Liu Mei were still the 'Night star continent'.
Of course, it was only natural for the young master of the Fu family to be clueless about the mysterious strongest continent at the heart of the world. After all, even Shun Long had only learned more about it after passing the Holy sect's test and being an official outer court disciple.
Thus, Shun Long began to share everything he and Liu Mei had experienced since they left the Desolate East after their last visit.
...
The more Fu Li heard, the more impressed but also alarmed he seemed to bee by those tales.
Fu Li didn't know what the name of the cultivation stage beyond the Nascent Soul stage was called, but finding out that the central continent not only contained Dao Kings, but also Dao Emperors and even Sovereign realm experts was more than enough to shake the plump young man's entire worldview!
At the same time however, he could also feel a sense of excitement surging in his heart at the thought of visiting such a place.
How much more interesting would it be pared to the dull life he experienced in the 'Floating Cloud sect'?
Even Shun Long didn't fully know what dangers lay within the core region of the central continent, where powers like the Tianxuan dynasty and the 'White Tiger chamber of merce' had all established their headquarters in.
Of course, it would be a lie to say that Fu Li didn't live a peaceful life in the 'Floating Cloud sect' right now. Although his days were monotonous and without any excitement, he still had a beautiful wife by his side and could enjoy a life of leisure and luxury without too many issues.
Granted, the internal problems of the sect were only getting worse and worse as the days went by, as the disciples they recruited became fewer and fewer, but as the young master of the Fu family Fu Li only had to cultivate 'diligently' and not be a plete wastrel.
As long as he did that, no one would bother him with anything until his father eventually stepped down and passed him the position of family head.
However, after hearing that Shun Long was planning to create his own power there, Fu Li couldn't help but get excited, as well as curious about what his friend wanted from him.
..
Originally, the chubby youth thought that there was nothing he'd be able to do in a place that was swarmed by Dao Emperors and even Sovereign realm experts, but after hearing Shun Long's plan he quickly realized that his role was actually feasible.
After all, Fu Li may not have been an outstanding cultivator by any means, but he was at least someone that Shun Long trusted and considered his friend, and only such a person was able to take on that task.
Falling silent for a few minutes, Fu Li seemed to ponder over Shun Long's offer before he eventually raised his head and said in a determined tone
''Brother. If I e with you, can Jinjing e as well?''
