Chapter 1136: Chapter 1037: Divine Power
After obtaining the map, Li Zhirui flew towards the nearest Sect.
Spirit Light dashed swiftly, and a few hours later, he arrived at a high mountain.
“Huh?”
During his ascent, Li Zhirui discovered an exceedingly concealed Formation. Had his Divine Sense not been so powerful, he might have completely missed it.
“I didn’t expect there to still be Cultivators hiding in the mountains.”
After so thought, Li Zhirui released a bit of Mana to touch the Formation, intending to see if he could make a deal with the other party to save ti in his search through the mountain.
“Soone’s coming!”
“At this ti, why is there still soone roaming outside?”
The few Cultivators hidden in the Formation were wary, preferring not to interact with the Cultivator outside, worried that he would bring trouble.
Most importantly, the Spiritual Energy in this place was limited. They had driven away all their disciples to absorb more Spiritual Energy. How could they possibly allow a stranger to enter?
They were all aware that the world was being destroyed, with various calamitous and Catastrophic Qi frequently erging, damaging the Spirit Veins and turning Spiritual Energy into a rare and precious resource. It even created so ferocious beasts, which might not be far from this person.
Every move they made consud a significant amount of Mana, aning they would need to absorb a large amount of Spiritual Energy. However, the Spiritual Energy within the Formation simply did not support such ‘wasteful’ actions.
After standing outside the Formation for a mont and seeing no response, Li Zhirui raised an eyebrow. He no longer waited and turned to leave. Failing to make a deal was not a big issue—it just ant a bit more ti spent.
“Has he left?”
“Should have, there’s been no movent for so long.”
Due to the Formation’s strong concealnt, those inside and outside could not see each other, and since they didn’t dare to open the Formation, they could only rely on their feelings and guesses.
In the end, because they couldn’t decide, they did not open the Formation for a look.
At this ti, Li Zhirui was flying in the air, fully unleashing his Divine Sense, continually searching for buildings with distinct characteristics, like Alchemy Rooms, Artifact Refinent Rooms, Scripture Pavilions, Spiritual dicine Gardens, and so on.
As for the Sect’s treasury, he did not put much effort into that area; first because it was hidden and hard to find, and second because the found ones were likely to be empty.
Even though the places Li Zhirui visited didn’t yield much gain, the efficiency was high. In just one hour, he took everything he could carry.
What saddened Li Zhirui the most was the massive Spiritual dicine Garden. Seeing the withered and rotting Spiritual Objects everywhere, he felt extrely distressed.
Without the nourishnt of Spiritual Energy, many high-grade Spiritual Objects perished. In contrast, so low-level spiritual items, needing less Spiritual Energy and having lower growth requirents, barely clung to life.
After scavenging for a while, Li Zhirui imdiately took flight to leave, not glancing back at the Formation area. After all, if they were not willing to welco him, there was no need to waste ti.
The Jade Slips and Spiritual Objects he scavenged in the mountains were mostly basic and low-level because they held very low value, and no one would waste ti on them.
However, they were perfectly suitable for Li Zhirui at the mont because he was lacking channels to understand this world.
By reviewing a few basic Jade Slips, Li Zhirui gained a general understanding of the Qianling Realm.
This was a Middle Thousand Worlds where the human race was mighty, the Devil Race just barely hanging on, and the Immortal Tao and Demonic Tao fiercely competing, deeply resenting each other, with wars erupting almost incessantly.
Hence, the reason for the world’s collapse was not only due to the world-shattering war but also due to the prior damage inflicted on the Qianling Realm.
“Without external foes, internal conflicts within the human race intensified, ultimately leading to such a tragic outco,” Li Zhirui lanted regrettably.
Balance is a very important aspect for the world!
Li Zhirui’s regret stemd from the fact that many thods targeting the Demonic Tao had erged from the endless struggles with the Demonic Tao. But now, with the world at the brink of destruction, these precious thods may have already been lost.
It was known that at the onset of the collapse of the Heavenly Dao and the destruction of the world, the Demonic Tao took the opportunity of the great changes to significantly strengthen. They wreaked havoc in the Qianling Realm, looting and further accelerating the world’s destruction.
And these detested thods were likely pri targets for the Demon Cultivators.
“There are still many Sects around; I wonder if anyone has been left behind.” Li Zhirui could only hope that so Cultivators who had learned the thods were still hiding in the mountains, giving him a chance to make a deal.
With this thought, Li Zhirui imdiately set off towards other locations.
In the past, these were mountains and rivers rich with Spiritual Energy, but now, all life in the mountains was dying, just at different paces.
It likely wouldn’t be long before these places turned into barren mountains, and eventually swallowed by the world to beco nutrients, nourishing the beings of the Primal Spirit Realm.
However, on the following few mountains, Li Zhirui encountered no Cultivators, and the various structures were more dilapidated than the last, looking as if they had been abandoned for many years.
“It seems this world is probably at the very brink of destruction.”
Based on everything he’d observed along the way, Li Zhirui felt his speculation made sense; the beings capable of Ascension had long since left, and those remaining were just struggling in vain, awaiting death’s arrival.
Facing this situation, Li Zhirui was even more anxious, fearing he wouldn’t obtain the thods before the world was destroyed.
