Chapter 743: Chapter 749: Out of the Abyss Chapter 743: Chapter 749: Out of the Abyss However, in doing so, Li Chengsheng paid a hefty price. Not only was he seriously injured, but his two Spirit Beasts were also gravely wounded.
If they encountered more Cultivators or Devil Beasts now, it would be dangerous for him.
“I need to find a safe place to hide.”
Because Li Chengsheng knew those Golden Core Cultivators would not give up easily; this was a treasure that could solve the troubles of his entire life!
But he was not familiar with the Secret Realm; after he and Bai Qiushan parted ways, he started to cultivate on his own. However, due to the dangers of the Secret Realm, he dared not wander recklessly, and he had visited few places.
Moreover, he always believed that there were many Cultivators who could find him; perhaps soone was already groping their way towards him from behind, which ant this place was not safe.
“The Secret Realm will close in just over a month.”
If this were the outside world, where the heavens and earth were vast, Li Chengsheng could find a place to hide, and the difficulty of being tracked would greatly increase, but this was the Secret Realm!
Despite its vast size, the realm was ultimately limited, not to ntion that many places were dangerous areas that he dared not approach.
Even while escaping, he had wiped out his own breath and even used his blood essence to perform the Heavenly Secrets Concealnt Technique, yet he still did not dare to be at ease.
After much thought, Li Chengsheng felt that the safest place was the great lake inhabited by the Flood Dragon, where he had first entered the Secret Realm!
When he first escaped from the lake, he noticed that not only were there no creatures in the lake, but even the shore was sparsely populated with life.
If a large number of Cultivators approached the lake, they would surely attract the attention of the Flood Dragon, and who knows how many Cultivators would die at the hands of the Flood Dragon.
However, there was a risk in doing this. If Li Chengsheng were discovered by the Flood Dragon, then he too would not et a good end.
Why not hide near the entrance of the Secret Realm? Because that place would surely attract many Golden Core Cultivators to explore and search, and even though he had a few Invisibility Talismans in his hand, they would not withstand their repeated searches.
It was better to take the risk of hiding near the Flood Dragon’s lake, using the Talismans he had to conceal himself well.
And squatting near the entrance… that was barely different from seeking death! One should know, apart from Cultivators, there were even more of the Devil Race within the Secret Realm, and one could easily beco a feast for them.
Once he made up his mind, Li Chengsheng imdiately took action, rushing across the land with his injured body.
And soon after he left, a group of Cultivators actually followed close behind.
“The man’s aura is quite strong here. He must have stayed for a while, or he might be hiding sowhere close since his injuries are severe, and he can’t get far.”
Unfortunately, what they didn’t know was that Li Chengsheng had top-quality Spirit Pills, carefully refined by Li Zhirui, in his possession. It’s not to say that a single Spirit Pill would heal him completely, but the healing effects were indeed excellent, and it also suppressed the worsening of his injuries.
“Let’s look around here then.”
Unfortunately, they turned the place upside down, but they didn’t find Li Chengsheng.
“He sure can run!”
Another group of Cultivators asked, “Senior Brother Xu, should we continue the chase?”
While they were looking for Li Chengsheng, several more waves of Cultivators arrived, and for the sa goal, these groups of strangers temporarily cooperated.
“Let it be, the man is one step ahead of us, we shouldn’t waste ti on him.” The Great Illusionary Dream Fruit was indeed precious, but what use was it if it couldn’t be obtained? It was better to make good use of the last month to find more Spiritual Objects in the Secret Realm.
In the end, only the original group of Cultivators was left!
“Brother Xu, shall we continue?” Clearly, so among them were unwilling to waste any more ti.
They had been chasing Li Chengsheng for several days now! Each ti they were just a step behind, and their full hearts of hope scattered with every setback, leaving only weariness and irritation.
And even if they really found him and captured him, seizing the Great Illusionary Dream Fruit, who should consu the one and only Spirit Fruit?
No matter who it was given to, there would be objections.
“One last ti! If we don’t catch him again, then let’s give up. What do you think, brothers?”
Although there were still so who were reluctant, no one spoke up against it, considering Brother Xu’s background and strength.
But it was this last attempt that led to a very tragic outco!
A group of people, using a secret technique, found the forest where Li Chengsheng was hiding, but couldn’t pinpoint his exact location. They had to use the crude thod of scanning inch by inch with their Divine Sense.
Several tis their Divine Sense reached into the lake, and on one accidental discovery, soone found a third-grade spiritual object growing in the water.
Suddenly, everyone promptly forgot about the task of looking for Li Chengsheng; they all thought of diving in to harvest the spiritual object instead.
But as soon as the first cultivator entered the water, he alard the Flood Dragon that was lightly sleeping in the lake.
“Roar!”
The Flood Dragon hovered in the air, looking down at them from a high position and said, “A bunch of ignorant ants dare to covet this king’s spiritual object and encroach upon my territory! Deserving of death!”
As for the cultivator in the lake, he had already beco a corpse.
In the presence of this Flood Dragon, a Golden Core cultivator was nothing more than a slightly larger ant, completely powerless to fight back. Without the protection of sothing like a Soul Dividing Jade Slip or other life-saving spiritual objects, they couldn’t even struggle.
Li Chengsheng, who was hiding deep underground in a cave he had dug out himself, felt the tremor of the earth and imdiately activated an Invisibility Talisman and a Talisman to hide his breath, cautiously hiding.
Even after more than an hour, when the Talismans’ mana was exhausted and they turned into waste paper, he still didn’t dare make any significant movents.
Only after waiting another hour or two did Li Chengsheng begin to heal his wounds. But he didn’t dare absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for fear of causing ripples that might be discovered by the Flood Dragon, so he could only use Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills.
Subsequently, several teams of Golden Core cultivators arrived, but without exception, upon discovering the Spiritual Objects in the Spirit Lake and attempting to dive for them, they alard the Flood Dragon, who struck them down.
With each occurrence, Li Chengsheng trembled with fear, worried about being discovered.
Gradually, more than a month had passed.
One day, a flash of Spirit Light surged through the Sea of Consciousness of all beings who entered the Secret Realm, informing them that the gate had opened, which also ant that the Secret Realm was about to close.
“The Secret Realm will close in a few days. I need to figure out how to avoid the Flood Dragon and leave this place,” Li Chengsheng frowned, wondering how to leave, which beca another problem.
But soon, this problem resolved itself.
“Hahaha! This king can finally leave the Secret Realm, break free from the shackles, and the hiding dragon shall soar from the abyss!”
The laughter echoed for miles around, and even Li Chengsheng, deep underground, heard it clearly.
“Is there anyone who wishes to leave the Secret Realm with this king?”
The Flood Dragon wanted to establish a force to sustain itself; naturally, it couldn’t start from scratch in cultivating followers, which would be too ti-consuming and exhausting. There were plenty of suitable Devil Beasts right within the Secret Realm.
