Chapter 693: 699 Chapter: Conjecture Chapter 693: 699 Chapter: Conjecture In order to deal with Xiaoqing, the Sea Devils set aside their previous feuds and contrived such a trap.
It is known that within the Sea Clan, various races harbor enmity toward each other. They only reluctantly unite under the pressure of the Dragon Tribe, knowing full well that in a world where the human race is thriving, they must stick together to survive.
Normally, both sides deliberately avoid each other to prevent conflict from erupting.
Now, because of Xiaoqing, they have actually set aside their hatred temporarily; one can imagine just how great their animosity towards him must be.
The trap set by the Sea Clan is not the only one; there are several others in different locations.
As for why they didn’t ask a fifth-order Great Devil to take action?
Because they are of high status, most are solely focused on breaking through to Ascension. They don’t wish to be involved in cause and effect, and with the vast expanse of the sea, who knows where Xiaoqing would appear or when. They are not willing to waste ti on such trivial matters.
After all, it’s not their own bloodline that’s dying.
Xiaoqing wasn’t able to anticipate the Sea Devils’ identities in advance; it’s just that he and Feng Peng couldn’t subdue these well-backed Sea Devils quickly enough. Whenever such a situation occurred, they would decisively abandon their target.
After all, if they were unable to subdue a Sea Devil quickly, the commotion of the fight would inevitably attract nearby Sea Devils, and then Xiaoqing and Feng Peng would be the ones in danger.
While the Sea Devils patiently lay in wait for Xiaoqing, they were unaware that he was soaring through the high skies with Feng Peng, searching for suitable targets.
“Hiss!”
Xiaoqing looked down at the evidently bait-like fourth-order Sea Devil with a sneer and said, “Do they really think we’re fools?”
This sort of ambush, he had already co across several on his way.
Initially, Xiaoqing didn’t think too much of it. However, slowly he noticed sothing was off. Then, after flying around the area with Feng Peng, they confird these were indeed traps set for them.
“The Sea Clan refuses to sit around and wait for death. Let’s head back and try again in a few years,” Feng Peng advised by his side.
Knowing the mountain has tigers, yet leaning towards the tiger mountain, such a person must either have strong confidence and self-assurance, or be a fool.
And unfortunately, neither Xiaoqing nor Feng Peng qualified, so they had no choice but to leave.
“Ah! Who knows when we’ll be able to feast on fourth-order flesh again,” he said with a hint of regret in his voice.
“Without flesh, don’t we still have Spirit Pills? Jiu isn’t in seclusion. We could ask him to help refine a few furnaces of Precious Pills,” Feng Peng didn’t find it particularly regrettable—it was just a resource for cultivation, after all.
“How can the flesh of a fourth-order Sea Devil be compared to Precious Pills?” Xiaoqing shook his head and sighed, “It’s a pity. Such a treasure land has fallen into the hands of the Sea Clan.”
Though the near sea and the distant sea both belong to the Boundless Sea, compared to the forr, the resources are several notches higher. If occupied by the human race, the overall strength of the cultivation world would be unimaginable.
After a casual conversation, the two headed towards Wanxian Island.
anwhile, the Sea Devils lying in ambush deep in the sea had no idea that Xiaoqing had already left and were still waiting in vain.
It wasn’t until several months later, when they hadn’t heard any news of Xiaoqing, and many Great Devils could no longer endure the boring life, that they returned to their respective hos.
This ambush ended even before it began.
Back on Wanxian Island, Xiaoqing began to settle down for cultivation, polishing the Mana he had accumulated over the past few years, striving towards the mid-phase of the fourth order.
“Tsk tsk.”
Seeing Xiaoqing like this, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but marvel, as he couldn’t rember how many years it had been since he had seen such a thing.
However, Xiaoqing being so diligent was a good thing, and he naturally wouldn’t dampen his spirits.
If he could maintain this state for a few more days, perhaps he would break through the middle stage of the fourth order even faster.
Xiaoqing no longer required Li Zhirui’s attention, and Da Qing seed to have sowhat recovered due to his previous words. Now, it was up to those little Qing turtles to heal the gaping wounds in Da Qing’s heart.
As for Cang, he had already begun to accumulate energy, preparing for the breakthrough to the fourth order.
Now Li Zhirui, apart from his daily cultivation, was spending the rest of his ti researching a type of Spirit Pill, a fourth-order Precious Pill that could accelerate the cultivation speed of Nascent Soul Cultivators!
By rights, he should be working on creating a fifth-order Precious Pill, but his power was inadequate, his vision insufficient. Attempting to create a fifth-order Precious Pill would simply be a waste of ti. It was better to find an alternative approach, starting with the fourth-order Precious Pill.
There was another crucial reason—the Li family didn’t possess any fifth-order Spiritual Objects!
In the past, they had expended countless efforts to obtain a fourth-order Spiritual dicine. Such treasures as fifth-order Spiritual dicines, which clan or sect would be willing to trade them away?
Having no choice, Li Zhirui could only try to deduce a Precious Pill based on fourth-order Spiritual dicine that would also be quite beneficial for the cultivation of Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Unlike the Sun Transformation Divine Soul of the Nascent Soul Realm, the Divine Soul of the Divinity Transformation Realm had already completed its transformation to yang. To break through to Void Refinent, one needed to cultivate a certain Primal Qi of heaven and earth, integrating it with their own Divine Soul to further tamorphose the soul, advancing to beco a Sun God, hence achieving perfection in both form and spirit.
And this cultivation of heaven and earth Primal Qi is far more perilous than the Sun Transformation Divine Soul, with even a slight carelessness leading to injuries to the Divine Soul.
To reduce the danger, the Nascent Soul Cultivators would choose heaven and earth Primal Qi that matched their own Laws. For example, when Li Zhirui broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, he chose the Purification Principle that matched his own Spiritual Root, so it was best for him to cultivate the Purifying Primordial Qi.
The Pill Recipe he wanted to create couldn’t increase Mana or strengthen the Spiritual Soul, it had only one function—to make the self more compatible with the heaven and earth Primal Qi, thus reducing the natural rejection of the Primal Qi!
Yet this was incredibly difficult.
Even though Li Zhirui was exceptionally talented, to create a Pill Recipe out of thin air without decades of hard work was nearly impossible, let alone the fact that the Pill Recipe he now envisioned was so extraordinary.
Ti flew like a shuttle, and like an arrow, it sped by.
In the blink of an eye, another three to five years passed.
Frustrated at not being able to find a starting point for the new Pill Recipe, Li Zhirui had no choice but to set it aside for the ti being, lest he beco obsessed and succumb to Heart Demons.
One day, Li Chengsheng suddenly arrived.
“Father, I plan to go on a journey to find the opportunity for the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul.”
Only then did Li Zhirui realize he had already reached Golden Core Perfection.
“Have you decided?”
“I have decided!”
“Then go, and be safe.”
Li Chengsheng bowed deeply, saying, “I do not know when I will be able to return from this journey. I will trouble father to take care of the flock of Yang Li Firebirds that I have cultivated.”
He had put a lot of effort into this flock of firebirds.
“Don’t worry, the family will take good care of them.”
“Then I will be on my way.”
Just a quarter-hour later, Li Chengsheng left Wanxian Island, his destination unknown.
And not six months after his departure, Li Chenghua and Li Chenghuo, who had also left ho years ago in search of the opportunity to reach the Nascent Soul, had returned.
