Chapter 905: Chapter 911: The Great Power
"Back already?"
Li Zhirui had just finished his cultivation practice when he received a soul voice transmission from Da Qing. He immediately stood up and left the Spirit Realm, flying toward the peak’s cave mansion.
"Jiu will be here shortly," Da Qing said to the others, having received the reply.
But in just a moment, Li Zhirui appeared before them all.
His gaze swept over them, and with a smile, he said, "It looks like you’ve had quite the haul this trip."
Each of them wore a smile, their eyes sparkling with excitement. It was clear without asking that their gains had been substantial.
"Jiu, take a guess, how many high-rank spiritual objects did we get?" Xiaoqing said with a proud face.
Li Zhirui’s eyes narrowed slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Twenty?"
He had estimated based on the idea of each person getting three spiritual objects and had added an extra two just in case.
"Not just that!" Xiaoqing shook his head.
Li Zhirui was startled by the response. They had only been to The Void for two to three years, and they had already obtained so many spiritual objects? Was his qi fortune too low back in his days, or was their qi fortune booming?
"Thirty?"
"A total of forty-two high-rank spiritual objects, including one seventh-rank spiritual object, thirteen sixth-order spiritual objects, and the remaining twenty-eight are all fifth-rank," Da Qing didn’t let Li Zhirui keep guessing and stated outright.
On their way back, they had obtained another five spiritual objects.
"Hiss!"
Hearing this astonishing number, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but take a sharp breath, and with envy, said, "Your luck is just too good."
"Just right, I’m also planning to take a turn in The Void, in search of opportunities. Perhaps I’ll continue your good fortune."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fengwu frowned and advised, "Zhirui, I think it’s better to wait a few more years before going. There’s been some big upheaval in The Void. We encountered an Integration Great Power, and we were also attacked by a Void Refinement Demon Cultivator. If we hadn’t triggered the Chaotic Spiritual Energy and created a deluge, I don’t know how many of us would be able to return."
Although a Late Stage Refinement Void Cultivator arrived later, it was uncertain whether any of them would have perished before his arrival.
Li Chengsheng and others also spoke out to persuade him. The Void was unstable and increasingly dangerous, and it wouldn’t hurt to wait a few more years.
Da Qing and the other two remained silent, discreetly standing to the side because they knew Li Zhirui was equipped with spatial abilities and wasn’t afraid of danger.
Unfortunately, Jiang Fengwu’s and the others’ advice did not dispel Li Zhirui’s intention.
Ever since his cultivation had improved, he had been thinking about going to The Void, and that feeling had grown stronger and stronger. This extraordinary situation was fully reminding Li Zhirui that there was an opportunity waiting for him in The Void.
"Don’t worry, if I go to The Void, I’ll be very cautious and careful."
Li Zhirui smiled and swiftly changed the subject, "You guys tally the spiritual objects. I’ll head back first."
But after walking out of the cave mansion, he didn’t fly towards the Spirit Realm. Instead, he headed towards the nearby Ascension Void Array.
Hum—
With a low hum, Li Zhirui’s figure vanished within the formation. After a dizzying spin, he appeared inside Li Family’s Empty Realm Annexe.
Just a few breaths ago.
The group inside the cave mansion was busily distributing the spiritual objects and the clamor was incessant. After all, even spiritual objects of the same grade could have different values.
Could a fifth-order Silver Leaf Golden Heart Grass, used in the making of talisman paper, really be of equal worth to a fifth-order Great Illusionary Dream Fruit that could recreate illusionary worlds?
At that moment, everyone suddenly heard Da Qing say loudly, "Jiu has already left the Profound Origin Realm and gone to The Void."
By this point, further discussion was fruitless. Discarding the matter from their minds, they resumed the quarrel that had just begun.
"This fifth-order Spiritual Object is of use to me; it should rightly be divided in my favor!" Cang pointed at a spiritual object and declared.
Jiang Fengwu shook his head in opposition and disputed, "No! This Spiritual Object is extremely rare; it cannot be allocated that way."
After a great deal of noisy disputing, they finally reached an agreement that satisfied everyone.

Li Zhirui gazed at the Void that was engulfed in grey, murmuring to himself, "Da Qing said they went straight ahead, so I’ll start my training in the direction they went."
As for what to do if I encounter danger along the way? If I can fight it, I will; if not, I’ll hide in my space. It’s unlikely my opponents would wait in the Void for ten days or a half a month, right?
Space, that was Li Zhirui’s greatest trump card for this journey.
Li Zhirui rested briefly and then left the Palace, officially entering the Void.
Chaotic Spiritual Energy filled the surroundings, seemingly calm and unremarkable, yet secretly brewing with terrifying crises that could claim the lives of multiple Nascent Soul Cultivators with just one misstep.
No sooner had Li Zhirui entered the Void than he encountered a massive Chaotic Storm!
He was only at the very edge of the storm, but the energy that ripped everything apart made Li Zhirui dare not confront it. He quickly took refuge in his space.
After waiting for an entire day, Li Zhirui emerged. The terrifying storm had passed, yet it hadn’t made the slightest impact on the Void.
Several days later, Li Zhirui finally obtained the first fifth-order Spiritual Object.
This seemed to be just the beginning; following that, he nearly obtained spiritual objects every day, and Li Zhirui finally began to experience the feeling of affluence.
"What happened in the Void? High-Rank Spiritual Objects have become so common," Li Zhirui wondered with great curiosity.
You see, the Chaotic Spiritual Energy in the Void was not only dense but also of high quality, resulting in a large and abundant array of High-Rank Spiritual Objects.
Nevertheless, given the boundless expanse of the Void, even an abundance of High-Rank Spiritual Objects would seem relatively rare.
How could it be like now, where Spiritual Objects could be found nearly every day?
Unfortunately, with his limited cultivation, Li Zhirui couldn’t find the reason; he could only endure this wave of heavy fortune.
Boom, boom, boom—
One day, as Li Zhirui cautiously traversed the Void, a sudden roar of thunder exploded beside his ear. His expression changed dramatically as he looked towards the direction the sound was coming from.
"A Great Power is in battle!"
Should he go and look? Li Zhirui was somewhat torn. Going there could very likely draw the attention of the Great Power, but if he didn’t go, he wanted to gauge his own strength against the Great Powers and set a clear target for himself.
After some hesitation, Li Zhirui eventually set out toward the battlefield.
Massive explosions periodically provided direction.
It took nearly two hours for Li Zhirui to arrive at the edge of the battlefield, and at the center were a cultivator and a Demon Cultivator locked in intense combat!
Both were...
Integration Realm!
Li Zhirui’s face turned pale; these were Integration Realm Great Powers!
No wonder the battle fluctuations could travel such distances and remained so distinct.
The moment Li Zhirui appeared, he drew the attention of both combatants. The Demon Cultivator casually launched an attack at Li Zhirui amidst the fight, a black light piercing through the air towards him.
The cultivator, however, did not lift a finger to save him. A mere ant was not worth his effort.
