If possible, having Ji Yiheng achieve a breakthrough to beco a peak level would certainly be stronger than having Void Pool Clam as an ally.
But Ji Yiheng's 'Tao' is far too different from the 'Tao' of the Nether River Ancestor.
"Moreover, I believe, even if we found a top-level true master whose own Dao aligns with this [Forget River] Taoism, it may not necessarily lead to a direct breakthrough, because such a thing has never happened in ancient tis; no one knows how to do it."
Ji Yiheng said.
Li Fei remained silent.
Next, he and Ji Yiheng tried various thods to activate the [Forget River] Taoism.
Having to keep this Taoism for ten years, Li Fei naturally wanted to fully utilize it within those ten years.
If he could directly use this Taoism without a breakthrough, wouldn't he be no different from a peak-level strong person?
However, no matter how he and Ji Yiheng tried, they could not cause the slightest fluctuation in the [Forget River] Taoism in front of them.
"If only Master were still here..."
Subconsciously, Ji Yiheng said, his expression sowhat gloomy.
Upon hearing this, Li Fei sighed.
Yes, the one most skilled in this kind of thing was Yun Shu, who possessed the [Analyze] Taoism.
If he were still alive, perhaps there really would be a way to fully utilize this [Forget River] Taoism.
After a few more attempts, Li Fei temporarily gave up, taking the [Forget River] Taoism with him as he got up to leave, returning to his own room.
"Void Pool Clam, if you got hold of the [Forget River] Taoism, how would you use it?"
Once back in his room, Li Fei channeled a heart sound, sending it into the void.
No one indeed knows how to directly use an unclaid [Taoism], but so exotic beasts know!
Void Pool Clam had been in the void near the 'Mirage', following the 'Mirage' as it headed towards Lanling City.
Void Pool Clam waited for a while before responding with a heart sound:
"My race is innately limited, unable to condense Taoism. For hundreds of years, we've tried many thods and eventually found one—acquire an unclaid Taoism."
Li Fei: "And after acquiring it?"
Void Pool Clam: "After acquiring it, there are secret techniques to devour the Taoism, achieving ascension, no different from your human peak-level strong persons."
Li Fei: "What is the key to this secret technique?"
Void Pool Clam did not answer.
The contract it signed did not require it to answer any of Li Fei's questions.
Li Fei began to speculate on his own:
"Could it be life force?"
This was the only commonality he could think of among all exotic beasts.
Otherwise, with different races and different abilities, how could all Ninth Grade exotic beasts perform the sa secret technique?
Void Pool Clam: "...Correct, the key is that the life force must be strong enough."
Li Fei understood.
From the first glance at the [Forget River] Taoism, he felt a soul-level attraction.
Not because of his Flying Sword Body, nor because he had a Martial Saint Body, but because his life force was strong enough.
Looking at all the current peak strong persons of the age, there probably isn't one with a life force stronger than his!
Even though a contract was signed, Void Pool Clam didn't want to discuss the matter of secret techniques because Li Fei possessed a life force akin to that of an exotic beast.
Even though Li Fei had expressed disinterest in the [Forget River] Taoism.
But what if?
What if one day Li Fei was pushed to the brink, at the point of life and death, and had no choice but to accept this Taoism?
That's why Void Pool Clam needed a safeguard.
Li Fei chuckled, stopped asking about the secret technique:
"You can traverse the void, you should be able to go to many places. Have you been to the deepest part of the Extre Abyss?"
In the Northern Barbarians' legends, the Extre Abyss leads to the heart of the world, where the Desolate God, who created the world, sleeps.
Of course, Li Fei did not believe in the existence of a Creator God, but he was still curious about the deepest part of the Extre Abyss.
Void Pool Clam: "Human, you ask questions, I should ask you questions too."
Li Fei: "Alright, let's take turns asking questions."
Void Pool Clam: "I've already answered one of your questions."
Li Fei: "Go ahead, ask."
Void Pool Clam: "I want to know the current distribution of forces in the human world, including who all the peak strong persons are?"
This was its main concern.
It hadn't left the Extre Abyss for hundreds of years. Now, following Li Fei to the human world, even if Li Fei promised to ensure its safety, it felt quite anxious.
Li Fei: "The strongest empire is nad the Da Lan Dynasty, followed by the newly established West Pole Country, which was the forr Buddhists, now our enemies...."
He gave a brief overview of the situation on the Eastern Continent and also inford Void Pool Clam of all current peak strong persons.
This information, sooner or later, would be found out by the other party if they wanted to know, so there was no point in hiding it.
Void Pool Clam: "Where does your strength rank in the human world?"
Li Fei: "That's your second question."
Void Pool Clam: "If you answer , I'll answer your previous question."
Li Fei thought for a mont: "About thirteenth in the world."
Previously, on the Peak List, he ranked himself as twelfth in the world.
The thirteenth was 'Demon Spear' Tian Youpeng.
The fourteenth was Qilian Guanshi.
But now that the [Forget River] Taoism was in his hands, Qilian Guanshi should already be dead.
And this ant the 'Demon Spear' who pursued Qilian Guanshi succeeded in his mission.
The opponent successfully killed a peak-level strong person, supplented his Taoism, and his power was bound to increase drastically!
After ascending the Heavenly Ascending Tower, Li Fei's Magic and Martial Unity had also improved, and his strength advanced.
But it certainly did not exceed the 'Demon Spear's jump in progress.
This ti he managed to slay the Ninth Grade Beast Jiao Yuan, mainly relying on the temporary upgrade of the Myriad Blood Pearl the Great Blue Country Fortune, and that he and Jiao Yuan were trapped together in the space cage.
If any of these three points were missing, Li Fei wouldn't be able to kill Jiao Yuan.
So despite the improvent in strength, he actually adjusted his rank down a notch.
Void Pool Clam: "You an every peak strong person of the era is stronger than you?"
It found this hard to believe.
But thinking it over, throughout the years, whether in martial arts or magic, humans had always advanced.
It wasn't hard to understand that the current peak strong persons could be stronger than those from hundreds of years ago.
This was also one reason why the Ninth Grade Beasts under the Extre Abyss dared not leave.
Li Fei did not explain the National Fortune but simply said, "Now it's your turn to answer my question."
"...Alright."
Void Pool Clam's heart sound ca, "I've been to the deepest part of the Extre Abyss."
Li Fei's spirit perked up: "And how was it?"
Void Pool Clam: "I reached approximately over thirty thousand ters down in the Extre Abyss, encountering extrely powerful void chaos currents, unable to proceed further."
Li Fei understood that void chaotic currents were like the impact of a storm at sea on ships; they could affect all space-type divine powers.
"Even void chaotic currents that you couldn't traverse?"
Li Fei was well aware of Void Pool Clam's prowess in the void, it's hard to imagine what kind of powerful void chaos currents could stop it.
"If you can't proceed through the void, then what about through real space?"
"No, that area is directly connected to the void, with no other paths."
"So the passage to the deepest part of the Extre Abyss is blocked by void chaos currents, and no Ninth Grade Beast knows what's below?"
"Yes, if even I can't get through, the others certainly can't."
Li Fei felt so regret, thinking he might uncover the secrets of the Extre Abyss:
"Alright, your turn."
Void Pool Clam: "You said you were ranked thirteenth among human strong persons, implying there's a specific ranking. I want to know this ranking."
Li Fei didn't need to guess to know it would ask this.
He directly provided the Peak List rankings to the other party.
Upon hearing the na Wenren Zheng, a peak strong person also belonging to the Da Lan Dynasty ranked second in the world, Void Pool Clam felt sowhat reassured.
Plus, Li Fei had already told it before that Da Lan Dynasty had four armies with peak combat power.
This made Void Pool Clam feel that cooperating with Li Fei wasn't too bad and its safety should be ensured.
Li Fei: "Now it's my turn. I want to know the legends of the Desolate God. What do you Ninth Grade Beasts think about these legends?"
The Ninth Grade Beasts' existence has been longer than any tribe of the Northern Barbarians, naturally possessing more knowledge of secrets.
Li Fei wanted to know whether the Desolate God truly existed or was just complete fiction?
"Desolate God..."
Upon hearing this na, Void Pool Clam's heart sound wavered a bit:
"Our view of the Desolate God is unanimous among us Ninth Grades."
"Oh?"
Li Fei's eyes flickered.
Does this an the Desolate God truly exists?
"What do you all think?"
"We believe the Desolate God is like us."
"You an, you believe the Desolate God is an exotic beast?"
"Yes, It should be—a Tenth Grade Beast!"
