Chapter 901: Chapter 907: Four People
At that moment, Li Chengshuo’s thoughts connected, and the last obstacle standing before her collapsed with a thunderous roar!
"Hahahaha!"
Stunned, Li Chengshuo had not expected to cross the threshold that had trapped her for decades so easily, and she burst out laughing. She immediately turned eastward and rushed towards Wanxian Island.
She did not break through in the Middle Region, mainly because she did not know how long she would need to close herself off, and the rental prices for cave mansions in the Middle Region were extremely high, especially since Li Chengshuo was at the stage of Nascent Soul, the steep prices were beyond her means.
Two years later, Li Chengshuo, looking haggard, returned to Wanxian Island and went straight to her cave mansion to close herself off without leaving.
"Did Shuo come back in a hurry?"
One day, during a leisure moment, Jiang Fengwu shared this news with Li Zhirui.
The Great Array protecting the Li family naturally records the entries and exits of individuals. Jiang Fengwu had handed all the array plates that recorded this information to the family, but, being a Formation expert herself, she could control the Great Array without needing the array plates.
Of course, Jiang Fengwu would not do such a thing, but she specifically marked the identity jades of the three people she cared about: Li Zhirui, Li Chengsheng, and Li Chengshuo.
Simply put, it meant that these three could not pass through the Formation to enter or leave Wanxian Island without Jiang Fengwu knowing.
Earlier, when Jiang Fengwu found out that Li Chengshuo had come back, she planned to visit her to see if she had encountered any issues.
But she found that Li Chengshuo had not left her retreat, and it was unclear whether she was healing or dealing with something else. This made Jiang Fengwu very worried.
Yet, she did not dare to forcefully investigate the cave mansion, in case Li Chengshuo was at a critical phase that any disturbance could lead to a mishap in her cultivation, causing even greater problems.
"Could it be that she suffered serious injuries?" Li Zhirui frowned deeply.
Li Chengshuo’s two Spirit Beasts were also taken in, and there was no one to answer questions.
"Yes, this careless girl didn’t even leave a letter! We have no idea about her situation. After she comes out, we definitely need to teach her a good lesson!" Although she said this, Jiang Fengwu’s face was full of worry.
"It might not be a bad thing, let’s just try to relax and wait," Li Zhirui consoled, having no other option.
The two were worried about Li Chengshuo, but that would not stop their own cultivation.
Just as one wave subsided, another arose.
After Li Chengsheng broke through to Nascent Soul, he stayed on Wanxian Island for several years. Unable to find suitable Fifth-order Sun Spirit Objects, he couldn’t create his own Solar Spirit Domain.
After several years of such slow progress in cultivation, he planned to venture into The Void in search of treasure.
As for the Sunstone he possessed, it was too precious for Li Chengsheng to integrate it with the Spirit Domain.
After all, it contained a trace of True Sun Fire, beneficial not only to his current Nascent Soul stage but even to Great Vehicle Cultivators looking to improve their cultivation.
In fact, without the Sunstone, Li Chengsheng’s cultivation pace these past few years would have been even slower!
Li Zhirui, frowning, looked at Li Chengsheng standing before him and asked, "Are you determined to head into The Void? Can’t you find Sun Spirit Objects in the Profound Origin Realm?" 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
"Father, you know that the Profound Origin Realm is just a Minor Thousand World. Fifth-order Spiritual Objects are very rare, let alone the Sun Spirit Objects I seek," replied Li Chengsheng respectfully.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui’s expression stiffened, then he said, "You know how hard it is to find Sun Spirit Objects; even going into The Void might end up fruitless."
"But there’s still more hope there than in the Profound Origin Realm, and even if I get other Fifth-order Spiritual Objects, I could attempt to trade them with others."
Hearing Li Chengsheng speak this way, Li Zhirui knew his mind was made up.
The ever-stubborn Li Chengsheng was now beyond any persuasion.
But Li Zhirui did not want him to explore the Void just yet, as it was too dangerous!
A single Chaotic Storm could claim Cheng Sheng’s life!
"Does your mother know about this?" After a long silence, Li Zhirui asked.
"I don’t know."
Clearly, Cheng Sheng understood that if Jiang Fengwu knew, he probably wouldn’t be able to leave.
Because Jiang Fengwu would strongly oppose it!
"But you can’t possibly hide such a major matter from her." Li Zhirui hoped that Jiang Fengwu could stop him.
But who would have thought, upon learning of this, Jiang Fengwu not only did not object but unexpectedly agreed!
"I had also planned to venture into the Void soon, and now it would be perfect to go with Sheng and look out for each other," Jiang Fengwu explained.
Seeing this, Li Zhirui knew there was no way to stop Cheng Sheng now, and he would also have to bring Jiang Fengwu.
"Well then, I’ll concoct some Precious Pills for you in the next few days."
Items like the Earth Escape Talisman are useless in the Void, so they could only prepare more Precious Pills and Magic Artifacts.
Somehow, the news that Jiang Fengwu and Cheng Sheng were soon heading to the Void leaked out.
Then Xiaoqing and Cang arrived together, approaching Li Zhirui.
"Do you both also wish to train in the Void?"
Xiaoqing and Cang were never ones to sit still, and Li Zhirui knew that they had always wanted to train in the Void, but had not brought it up because of his inaction.
Now that Jiang Fengwu and Cheng Sheng were about to head into the Void, this great opportunity, how could they miss it, once they knew?
"Jiu has keen insight!" Xiaoqing laughed.
"Well then, if you want to go, go."
Li Zhirui helplessly waved his hand and said, "I have some insights, and my cultivation is expected to advance significantly; I can’t accompany you, as there will be no space for you to take refuge. Everything must rely on your own strength."
The past battle with the Sea Clan had also benefited Li Zhirui, but it was not very apparent because he had just broken through to the Middle Stage of Divine Transformation.
Later, observing Dao Tong undergoing Tribulation Transcendence, he gained some enlightenment. Coupled with diligent and strenuous cultivation over the past decades and gains from several cultivation insights, although he might not break through to the Late Nascent Soul Stage, at least his cultivation could advance significantly.
"Jiu, don’t worry! If other Nascent Soul Cultivators can return safely, the four of us, working together, will naturally be no problem," Cang said confidently.
Xiaoqing was always confident, and as a member of the Dragon Tribe, Cang was too, but he was more reserved and not as ostentatious as Xiaoqing.
"Go back and prepare." Li Zhirui sighed helplessly, worried that they might encounter danger in the Void, but also understanding he couldn’t always stop them.
Just as Cheng Sheng had said, the Profound Origin Realm was merely a Minor Thousand World with limited fifth-order resources. As a newly emerged Transforming Spirit force, other than the Primal Qi Pills Li Zhirui concocted, they had no way to access other cultivation resources.
Primal Qi Pills were of course excellent, greatly accelerating the cultivation of Nascent Soul Cultivators.
But!
Precious Pills are difficult to concoct!
Even though Li Zhirui had developed the pill recipe and had been concocting for over a hundred years, he had only managed to increase the success rate of alchemy, with no improvement in the time, energy, or other costs involved!
