Chapter 1128: Chapter 1033: Dynasty
The Golden Eagle’s expression brightened instantly, and it spread its wings to fly away, not mentioning the sealed Mana and Spiritual Soul within its body, fearing that it would annoy the Cultivator in front of it and get locked up again.
It had secretly tested the seals, which were powerful but not impossible to break, though it would take a long time. However, faced with life and freedom, wasting some time seemed trivial.
As the Golden Eagle soared in the sky, it was immediately stunned by the dense Spiritual Energy and the Spiritual Objects everywhere.
Each Spiritual Object emitted a faint Spirit Light, but gathered together, they appeared particularly dazzling. Staring a bit longer would make one’s eyes uncomfortable.
"Gurgle—"
The Golden Eagle couldn’t help swallowing its saliva, its eyes filled with greed. If it could obtain these Spiritual Objects, it would surely advance further!
But the thought of that fierce and powerful Cultivator woke the Golden Eagle up instantly, and it flew towards the distance without looking back.
"Wrong! This isn’t the Primal Spirit Realm!"
In less than half a moment, the Golden Eagle realized this, also because it had reached the edge of the space and had seen the mountains full of Spiritual Objects along the way.
These two situations should not appear in the Primal Spirit Realm!
The reason the space had become like this was because Li Zhirui, apart from personally caring for some high-level, precious Spiritual Objects, allowed the rest to grow and propagate freely.
It was precisely his ’inaction’ and the mysterious effects of the space that naturally led to the rampant growth of the Spiritual Objects, rapidly invading a vast amount of land.
Amid the huge quantity of Spiritual Objects, some mutated or broke through in grade.
Fortunately, the entire space was under Li Zhirui’s control. Once such a situation emerged, he would quickly find out and then transplant them to a few key Medicine Gardens to expand the variety of Spiritual Objects he possessed.
The Golden Eagle felt uneasy and immediately turned around to find Li Zhirui.
"What place is this?! Didn’t you say you were letting me out?" In desperation, the Golden Eagle forgot its fear and questioned loudly.
Li Zhirui didn’t even glance at it, saying offhandedly, "Didn’t I release you from the wooden cage?"
"You..."
"Hmm?"
Li Zhirui hummed lightly, and the Golden Eagle dared not speak further.
"From now on, just obediently be the Guardian Mountain Spirit Beast of the Li family. There might still be a chance for you to achieve enlightenment and become immortal in the future."
The Li family still had many clansmen cultivating the ’Wanling Sutra’. A male seventh-grade Golden Eagle was still very precious to the family, as it could greatly enhance the grade of the family’s Spirit Beasts, which is why Li Zhirui had not killed the Golden Eagle.
Of course, if it didn’t act sensibly, it wouldn’t be a Guardian Mountain Spirit Beast, but a breeding beast instead.
The Golden Eagle wanted to curse out loud, but as the words reached its lips, a great terror suddenly engulfed it, seeming to signal that if it dared refuse, it would be killed on the spot. Under the threat of death, it ultimately had to bow its head and submit.
"Copy a set of insights and understandings from your cultivation of the Substitution Technique, then do whatever you want, as long as you don’t damage the Spiritual Objects or enter the Medicine Garden. You can pick and eat other Spiritual Objects as you please."
"Oh, and there’s a Spirit Farmer, if you feel bored, you can look for him."
With that, Li Zhirui continued to ponder the two Jade Slips in his hand.
The Golden Eagle gritted its teeth, wishing it could devour the person in front of it alive, but it still obediently left behind a Jade Slip and flew away.
Li Zhirui smiled faintly, seeing the initial effects of taming, he was in no hurry to proceed further.
...
With the original Divine Power Techniques and the modified versions by the Devil Race, it only took a few months for Li Zhirui to learn the Substitution Technique, though due to unfamiliarity, there were still some flaws.
Even so, without careful scrutiny, it was hard to notice anything amiss, showing the prowess of this Divine Power.
And for cultivating this Divine Power, one needed to use something filled with one’s own aura for the spell, and since Li Zhirui had no feathers, he used his hair as a substitute item.
After learning the Divine Power, Li Zhirui left the space to continue his adventures in the Falling Star Mountain Range.
He honed his strength by battling Devil Beasts while cultivating and enhancing his Cultivation.
Especially continuing to nurture the Five Viscera Gods and expanding his Dharma, the former concerning his future path and the latter being key to his current cultivation, both were critically important.
Time flew, and three or four decades passed in a blink.
During this period, Li Zhirui encountered many dangers, but thankfully, with the Substitution Technique and the space as his lifesaving means, he managed to narrowly escape each crisis.
The most dangerous encounter was when a Cultivator inadvertently discovered a Cave Mansion of a Tribulation-Transcending Cultivator from ten thousand years ago, rumored to contain the secret to becoming immortal!
Once the news spread, it attracted a large number of High-level Cultivators and Devil Beasts.
At that time, relying on his decent strength and life-saving Divine Power, Li Zhirui participated.
But soon, he realized that his power was insignificant in comparison, getting heavily injured several times and barely surviving near-death situations.
In the struggle for the secret to becoming immortal, all the Cultivators were bloodthirsty!
Although Li Zhirui wanted to continue competing, given the severity of his injuries, he had no choice but to retreat.
When he recovered from his injuries and emerged, he only heard that a Loose Sword Cultivator from the Great Vehicle Realm had obtained the Methods, and now Cultivators across Falling Star State were searching for him.
"A Loose Cultivator?!"
When Li Zhirui originally heard this news, his face couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise.
Given that various major forces participated, each sending numerous High-level Cultivators, it was indeed astonishing that a mere Great Vehicle Realm Loose Cultivator could snatch the prey.
