Chapter 165: A Light Gift from Afar Shows Deep Affection
“Warning: You have been locked by the True Immortal Feng Qianli, who used the law divine ability Demonic Wind Calamity on you, temporarily cutting off your connection to the Yunhua Law Seal for nine seconds. However, because of this, Feng Qianli can no longer use any divine abilities, demonic arts, or magic treasures. Otherwise, this state will be broken, and he will be locked by the Yunhua Law Seal.”
“Warning: Because Feng Qianli consumed a portion of the Fortune of Heaven and Earth, he successfully concealed his hostility towards you.”
“Warning: Because Feng Qianli is a living being of the Mortal Realm, the Yunhua Law Seal cannot provide advance warning of his movements.”
“Warning: Feng Qianli is attempting to plot against you!”
…
“Crash!”
Li Si’s third Protective Jade shattered. He desperately tried to teleport and summon the Yunhua Law Seal, but it was completely useless. It felt like there was a wall between him and the Yunhua Law Seal. He could sense it, but he just couldn’t activate it.
Otherwise, even a True Immortal would be smashed to death in front of the Yunhua Law Seal, which had been upgraded eight times and stored nearly 6000 portions of Fortune of Heaven and Earth inside.
He could only say that he had been too careless!
Li Si never expected that Feng Qianli would attack him. He even more never expected that this Feng Qianli could know his exact location without needing to deduce it.
He had only run a hundred meters when it happened again. The space around him felt like flowing yellow sand, instantly trapping him. He could do nothing but watch as the grim-faced Feng Qianli stepped over, directly using his claws to tear his body apart.
“Crash!”
The fourth Protective Jade shattered.
Li Si successfully escaped again. Another hundred meters, and he was trapped once more. Feng Qianli’s face was so dark it looked like it would explode.
Li Si felt helpless about this and even wanted to say sorry.
“Crash!”
The ninth one…
“Crash!”
The fifteenth one…
Only three seconds remained. Li Si looked innocently at Feng Qianli, hoping to use kind eyes to make him drop his weapon. But Feng Qianli’s eyes were crazy and desperate. It was clear he was desperately holding back. He probably wanted to use a very terrifying divine ability or a great killing weapon.
But unfortunately, no matter what divine ability or magic treasure he used, the shielding effect of the Demonic Wind Calamity would instantly fail. Then they would have a contest about who was the fastest gunslinger.
Unfortunately, on Li Si’s turf, as long as he had even the slightest connection with the Yunhua Law Seal, even if he did nothing, no power could be faster than the Yunhua Law Seal.
Li Si understood this, and Feng Qianli understood it even better than him.
So he could only rely on his own indestructible claws. In fact, these claws could easily crush even Void Refining or Great Ascension cultivators. Sadly, he encountered the Protective Jade.
And it was the very authentic Protective Jade from the Lingjing Sect!
A feeling of extreme humiliation spread.
Why!
Why?
Damn that old coin Lingjingzi, why did you give away Protective Jades? Giving away one was enough, but judging by the looks of it now, this bastard had at least several dozen on him!
This shouldn’t be.
Because even a thousand years ago, the Lingjing Sect’s Protective Jade was one of the most sought-after protective magic treasures in the cultivation world. Thanks to this sect’s turtling techniques, this Protective Jade could block a fatal strike from a law divine ability.
Lingjingzi, you old turtle, I won’t let you off.
“Crash!”
The seventeenth one.
A look of extreme pain flashed in Feng Qianli’s eyes. This was the only chance! As for casting another Demonic Wind Calamity, it wasn’t impossible, but it depended on the target. With even a sliver of an opening, that Land Deed Seal could reverse everything.
“Forget it!”
In the last second, Feng Qianli decisively gave up. His whole body turned into a wisp of green smoke. In one second, he crossed three thousand miles. In the second second, he ran six thousand miles. Then, Li Si stopped him.
Mainly, the Yunhua Law Seal stopped him. It completely materialized, with magnificent colored clouds rising from it. Within the clouds, one could clearly see towering mountains, roaring rivers, and all living things of heaven and earth.
This was the power of heaven and earth. Not to say it contained the entire power of the world, but at least one-tenth of it.
Unless it wasn’t activated, once activated, it was just this awesome.
Feng Qianli, like a green smoke, was like a caterpillar, instantly slammed into the ground. Although his body shone with light, divine patterns appeared, and five or six spirit treasures burst with spiritual light, they could only buzz a few meters above his body, completely unable to rise.
In just an instant, Feng Qianli was suppressed until he was bleeding from all seven orifices.
A relatively weaker spirit treasure was crushed with a boom.
Li Si walked calmly up to Feng Qianli and crouched down.
“Feng Qianli, a True Immortal like you wanting to kill me puzzles me.”
“But what puzzles me even more is how well you know me. You could even find the place where I usually cultivate, as if you were an old friend of mine.”
“But since that’s the case, why did you make such a stupid mistake? You should have left one second earlier.”
“So, you are not Feng Qianli. You are that Big Fly.”
“Because only it would know me so well, yet be unable to sense that my territory has expanded to ten thousand miles in radius.”
“Goodbye!”
Li Si waved his hand. The Yunhua Law Seal crashed down. Dust returned to dust, earth to earth.
“Slayed True Immortal Feng Qianli. Obtained 3 portions of Purple Qi Luck, 31 portions of Golden Fate.”
“Obtained Spirit Treasure Fragments × 18.”
“Suppressed and killed an Unknown Deity/Demon’s clone. Obtained 3000 portions of Golden Firewood.”
—
“Pathetically poor!”
Li Si mourned for Feng Qianli for a second. Without a doubt, he had no grudge against the real Feng Qianli. The other party couldn’t possibly come to kill him for no reason.
So something must have happened.
“Could it be related to last night’s celestial change? Also, that Big Fly clearly possessed and controlled Feng Qianli, yet it was in such a hurry to come die. Otherwise, if it lurked in the shadows, waiting for me to leave the Yunhua Law Seal’s control area, it could have crushed me with a little finger.”
Li Si thought quickly.
So, either the Big Fly was really desperate to kill me.
Or, possessing and controlling Feng Qianli couldn’t last long, so it came to take a reckless chance based on the principle of maximizing benefits.
It was really scary afterward. Such outside moves were too sharp, completely impossible to guard against.
Li Si touched the 329 Protective Jades still left on his body and shed sweat of tension and fear.
Well, the Lingjing Sect were all good people.
Next, Li Si didn’t dare delay. He first inspected all directions, checking the livelihood development and daily cultivation of various sects and cities. Nowadays, he had completely given up on searching for more humans from outside. So the one million people in his hands truly couldn’t afford any loss.
For this reason, he even decided to distribute Protective Jades on a large scale to every Cultivator above the Golden Core Realm, five pieces each.
This was also why he had so many Protective Jades in his possession.
But after this incident, he decided to increase the number to ten pieces per person.
As for himself, if he held fewer than a thousand Protective Jades, he would count himself losing!
“Wait, the Fairy Leader descended? What’s so urgent?”
Li Si’s heart moved. The next moment, he appeared in his usual Quiet Room in Kaoshan City. Then he took out an incense burner, lit sandalwood incense. In the curling incense smoke, the Fairy Leader’s figure quickly appeared. But her expression was extremely serious. Before Li Si could even bow, she urgently said, “In the future, do not go to the Hall of Fate without my permission. Don’t even leave the area covered by the Land Deed Seal. You are in great danger now, extreme danger. Don’t trust anyone. After this meeting, even when you see me in the future, be a little wary.”
She paused, looked at Li Si, seemed to hesitate, but finally lowered her voice and said, “Also, don’t trust your Jiuxuan Uncle for now. Also, don’t call her Jiuxuan Uncle anymore, call her Qingping Uncle. Her… it’s hard to explain in a few words. That Chongming flying sword in your hand, keep it safe, and don’t damage it. In the future… if something happens to your Qingping Uncle, this will be the most critical thing to save her.”
Hearing this, Li Si was so scared his hair stood on end. Was it this serious?
But it seemed that the Demonic Dragon also mentioned this matter, saying at the time that Jiuxuanzi was very pitiful. Thinking about it now, it was terrifying upon closer thought.
Well, Li Si didn’t know anything, so he couldn’t think too closely.
“Master, are you in danger?”
Li Si asked instinctively. Well, what did Jiuxuanzi’s life or death have to do with him? His own Fairy Leader was the most important.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingxie’s expression froze. Then she seemed somewhat angry, her eyes widening, looking very mad. But such a peerless beauty with this expression could be used as an emoji.
“What nonsense are you talking?”
Zhao Qingxie slapped Li Si with a ‘pat’. “Cultivate properly. What messy things are you thinking about all day? Look at your senior brother Xu Shen, he’s already reached Divine Transformation. Your senior brother Ji Chang also reached Divine Transformation. Your senior sister Jiang Ying has reached Nascent Soul. That fool Yue Shan has reached Golden Core. And you? You’re only at Golden Core! Are you still worthy of being called the leader of the Four Heroes of Floating Cloud? Pat!”
“Are you still worthy of calling yourself the unparalleled cultivation genius in ten thousand years of Floating Cloud Sect! Pat!”
“What can you do besides slacking off all day? Pat!”
Li Si: …
After slapping him a few times, Zhao Qingxie found her mood inexplicably much better. Especially seeing Li Si’s incredulous expression, she instantly became even happier. Ahem, pay attention to image! This damn Mortal Tribulation! Should I learn from my senior sister and just chop him to death…
With a soft sigh, Zhao Qingxie changed her tone. “You’re lucky to be alive. Last night, our master and disciple—our Floating Cloud Sect, and this world were almost destroyed. You, the Calamity-Bearing Human King, would have died the fastest. I sacrificed my Dao Foundation Immortal Body and am basically tied to you, like grasshoppers after autumn. You have no idea how dangerous it was.”
“Fortunately, a Demonic Dragon with great divine abilities was hidden in our Mortal Realm. It was once a Great Luotian Immortal who escaped from the Land of Infinite Vastness. So last night it made a move. A Great Luotian Immortal! It actually withstood it and became the second calamity-bearer in this Mortal Realm besides you.”
“Because of this, our Mortal Realm gained fifty years. Fifty years, not too many, not too few. Li Si, my greatest hope for you is that you can undergo the Heavenly Tribulation within fifty years, then use the power of Ascension to ascend to the Land of Infinite Vastness. This is your only chance.”
“What about you, Master?”
“Only after you ascend can I be free.” Zhao Qingxie said softly. “Also, one living is better than both dying.”
“Listen, this Mortal Realm is truly beyond saving. You don’t know how terrifying it is over there. Even my senior sister… So I don’t know how long I can hold on. Remember, don’t waste these fifty years. If you have a chance, communicate more with that Tribulation-Bearing Dragon. Leave a good connection.”
Zhao Qingxie seemed to think of something, or because her Dao Heart was damaged, or because Li Si’s soul was now too strong. Of course, the main reason was that her Dao Foundation Immortal Body was gone. In a sense, she was like rootless duckweed.
In short, she looked very weak. Sixteen Soul Lamps had gone out, only seven were still burning, three of which were Dao Heart Soul Lamps.
Li Si thought for a moment but didn’t mention the Feng Qianli matter. Instead, he conveniently took out a large gourd containing one hundred Spirit Nourishing Pills.
“Master, about that Tribulation-Bearing Dragon you mentioned, I actually met him early this morning. This senior’s character is very good, virtuous and respectable, noble and unsullied. Not only did he give me one hundred Protective Jades, but he also gave me one hundred Spirit Nourishing Pills. He said since we are all calamity-bearers, we should look out for each other. I kept the Protective Jades myself. Master, you take these one hundred Spirit Nourishing Pills and use them.”
“Is this true?”
Zhao Qingxie was shocked.
So Li Si immediately showed a dragon scale. This time Zhao Qingxie believed him. She took the big gourd and, without discussion, took out fifty pills and left them.
“It’s a pity we don’t know that Dragon senior’s name. He is too generous. These Spirit Nourishing Pills are clearly refined from extremely precious spiritual herbs. They have an excellent effect on the soul. Sss…”
Zhao Qingxie suddenly gasped, her eyes wide open, her small mouth slightly agape, as if she discovered some incredible secret. Then she decisively took out another thirty Spirit Nourishing Pills and handed them to Li Si, saying very seriously,
“I was careless. These Spirit Nourishing Pills can actually light Soul Lamps. Keep these for yourself to take. If you are thoughtful, give one each to your two senior brothers and Jiang Ying. Definitely don’t let anyone else know.”
For a moment, Li Si held a handful of Spirit Nourishing Pills, feeling so helpless.
No choice. He could only swear oaths and push the Spirit Nourishing Pills hard into Zhao Qingxie’s arms. “Master, the Dragon senior said that if I finish these Spirit Nourishing Pills, there are more. This isn’t charity, but for the cause of enduring the calamity. So don’t give them all back to me…”
“Li Si!” Zhao Qingxie was furious, her face turning red with anger!
“Zhao Qingxie!” Li Si was also angry. Damn, why is it so hard to be a filial disciple? Do you have to force me to deceive my master and rebel against my ancestors to be satisfied?
“You…” Zhao Qingxie pointed a finger, so angry she couldn’t speak. Too insolent, this evil brat! Today I must beat you to death! Where is my magic treasure?
Looking at the slender, green-onion-like finger in front of him, Li Si couldn’t help but act mischievously.
Whoosh!
Huh?
Where did she go?
Heaven and earth bear witness, I didn’t do anything! Li Si let out a long sigh. He gave out one hundred Spirit Nourishing Pills, but got seventy back.
How did I end up with such a silly master?
