Chapter 720: 662 Dilemma Part Two

The other two experts from the Jiuyue family, seeing the situation, looked up at Li Chengyi approaching them, and could only obediently raise their hands, squat down, and bow their heads to indicate surrender.

At the same time, the Ziwei Flower Seal automatically appeared on the sides of their faces.

This signified the activation of the Ziwei Royal Authority.

But Li Chengyi paid no attention to these things. Instead, he walked up to Jiu Gongzi, his body quickly softened, and with a whoosh, he burrowed into an injury on the latter’s body.

Before long, Jiu Gongzi stood up, his face rapidly returning to Li Chengyi’s visage, and his body transformed quickly as well.

In just a few seconds, aside from his clothing, he was virtually indistinguishable from his previous self.

Shang Jiu, not far away, dared to approach only now.

"Master, someone is coming. It should be an expert from the Gong Shan family."

"Everyone withdraw," Li Chengyi nodded.

"Yes."

The group quickly closed the portal and left the spot, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Just a few seconds after their departure, several agile figures rapidly flickered and appeared on this beach.

"Such strong True Yuan fluctuations! There were experts clashing here! The concentration of power was extremely high, with hardly any dissipation!"

One of them said gravely.

"With such intensity, if there had been even the slightest leakage, it could have potentially caused devastating damage to the surrounding environment," another nodded in agreement.

"Let’s investigate and report back to the Family Head."

Jiu Gongzi, whose real name was Shang Yuehen, was a top young member of the Jiuyue family’s main lineage with the ninth-highest bloodline concentration.

It wasn’t that he ranked ninth in generation; within the Divine Demon Clan, seniority wasn’t important, what mattered was bloodline concentration.

Bloodline determined potential, martial strength, appearance, constitution—everything.

Thus, Jiu Gongzi was considered an important new generation figure for the Jiuyue family, who had just stepped into the Divine Demon realm.

His bloodline concentration had reached an astonishing forty percent, which was much stronger than those with only ten to twenty percent.

After replacing Jiu Gongzi, Li Chengyi absorbed the memories within his mind and quickly acquired the Divine Demon Martial Arts of the Jiuyue family—the Nine Gods Overpowering Heaven Technique.

This martial art allowed one to unleash the full terrifying potential of the Jiuyue family’s bloodline.

When mastered, it was said one could transform into the Nine-Headed Serpent Emperor, with each of the nine heads capable of devouring and releasing nine different types of elemental powers, mastering nine fearsome divine abilities.

In the end, one could evolve the world, recreate Chaos, and from destruction, condense the primordial substances from the dawn of creation.

While wandering around the Gong Shan family’s residence, Li Chengyi quietly sifted through the jumbled mass of memories in Jiu Gongzi’s mind.

After all, Jiu Gongzi was a "senior master" of more than one hundred ninety years old, and his vast memory capacity was considerably larger than Li Chengyi’s own.

Li Chengyi was selective, not looking too closely at the experiences. Otherwise, it could easily dilute his own memories and affect his primary personality.

Before long, he leisurely made his way to the Martial Arts training ground.

Gong Shanlejiu and the chubby Gong Shanheng, along with a group of teenage boys, were practicing their family’s Martial Arts.

Lei Jiu’s body crackled with electricity as he continuously hammered shockwaves of current against the transparent protective barrier surrounding them.

The chubby youngster kept producing flames with his palm strikes, repeatedly practicing basic defensive moves.

In the entire training ground, only Lei Jiu had reached the Golden Realm, while the rest were still at the True Yuan level, diligently accumulating their foundation; their proficiency in martial arts had not even breached the third-rate level.

When the two saw Li Chengyi at the edge of the practice field, they quickly ended their exercises and walked over.

"Long time no see, Ah Zhu," Lei Jiu patted Li Chengyi on the shoulder with a hearty laugh.

"You look well. Are you so happy because Han Zongdi ran away?"

"How could that be," Li Chengyi frowned, "I love Xiao Di, and what we have is true love. Did she say where she was going when she left?"

"No," Lei Jiu replied, taking it as a joke and not dwelling on it, "She just said she wanted to go out and hide from family troubles for a while."

"Has the family looked for her?"

"Of course, both the Han Zong family and our Gong Shan family have searched, but there’s no trace nearby. Obviously, she’s gone far away."

Good, the harder to find, the better, Li Chengyi nodded in satisfaction and didn’t press the issue further, instead, he changed the subject. "How about you, how have you been lately?"

"What else? I do my daily routine, train diligently. There’s a lot of trouble in the Fu family nowadays, but fortunately, the Family Head fully supports me," Lei Jiu said with a slight hint of pride.

"Congratulations, having such an opportunity is also Good Fortune," Li Chengyi nodded.

"However, I can’t enjoy this for too many days. The Family Head thinks that the resources here can’t compare to the outside world, so he plans to send me to the Longevity Sect in the far southern lands. There, I will train in Martial Arts amidst the Thunder Sea," Lei Jiu said somewhat reluctantly.

"That’s great," Li Chengyi patted him on the shoulder and looked at the chubby boy.

"And you, Ah Heng?"

"I’m just a Common person, don’t compare me with you geniuses. I haven’t even broken through the third layer of the Fire Punishment Palm, it’s still way too early for me to go out and find secret realms to train in," Gong Shanheng quickly shook his head.

"You don’t need to find secret realms, just go out for a stroll, clear your mind. It can relieve your stress, and when you’re in a good mood, you can train more swiftly and fiercely, unparalleled by anyone else," Li Chengyi said earnestly.

"I don’t believe you!" the chubby boy retorted frustratedly.

"Regardless, my parents are planning to go to Lushan for a retreat. I’ve found them a villa there. If you’re willing, you’re welcome to stay as well," Li Chengyi offered with a smile.

He was stabilizing his rear before causing any mischief.

As the conversation reached this point, Lei Jiu didn’t react much, but Gong Shanheng, piecing together his own information, seemed to have some guess, his expression changing slightly,

After issuing the invitation, Li Chengyi wasted no time, bid farewell to his family, and returned to Lushan.

At this moment, the deer demons of Liushan had found the Wheatstalk Chrysanthemum he required.

Indeed, he had skipped the Firmiana simplex and the Green Fleece Mugwort, choosing to evolve the Wheatstalk Chrysanthemum first, intending to save the evolution of the other two for last.

Because the Flower Language Technique of Firmiana simplex was to acquire specific knowledge, and that of Green Fleece Mugwort was a significant enhancement of life force—the greater the base, the greater the enhancement.

However, the Wheatstalk Chrysanthemum, with the Flower Language Technique of "Seal of Love," would be of great assistance to himself if evolved into its Ultimate Form sooner.

Moreover, the Divine Demon bloodline and martial arts that he had just obtained could also be quickly cultivated....

Nayun Demon Realm.

The pieces of black land floating in the sky were the habitat of the native inhabitants.

Below the continents, an infinite and endless pure white abyss existed without a bound.

At this moment, on one of the black lands, clusters of gray human figures were frantically screaming, launching attacks on the massive figures that surrounded them.

These massive figures surrounding the humanoids each resembled mythical and bizarre mythical beasts and demons.

There was a phoenix bird engulfed in golden flames, a black serpent with nine heads, a giant azure bird with double pupils, and a Kunpeng that alternated between fish and bird forms, among others.

Many colossal beasts were now encircling the hundreds of gray human figures at the center, silently observing and allowing themselves to be attacked.

"They cannot be killed. No matter what divine arts or methods are used, we have tried them all to no avail. What divine being could this entity be?" the golden phoenix boomed mightily.

Its thousand-meter-tall massive figure stood out even among the many colossal beasts as one of the tallest.

"Is eternal freezing possible?" a black turtle bearing an iceberg on its back asked in a low voice.

"Useless, they release cold air ceaselessly. In the icy cold, they would thrive even more, like fish in water. Freezing is unable to trap them," a unicorn with only bone armor and resembling a skeleton hastily responded.

"Our young ones have gone to Baishi Star for reconnaissance. The Xuanji Sect has shown up there. If we elders were to go, it would cause too much commotion, whereas our young ones with just a hint of bloodline would be just right," the middle head of the nine-headed serpent with a golden crown declared aloud.

At this moment, the nine-headed serpent suddenly hesitated, seemingly sensing something.

"This is bad, the bloodline clan members on Baishi Star...huh? How come there’s nothing wrong?" the nine-headed serpent became a bit puzzled and regained its senses.

Just now, it had thought that Xiao Jiu had encountered trouble, yet in less than a minute, everything returned to normal.

"We should join forces to deal with the Xuanji Sect Master first. His Majesty’s meaning is that now that the Xuanji Sect Master has mastered his techniques, relying solely on the power of one realm may be insufficient to stop him. We must unite all realms to take action," the Golden Phoenix spoke out.

"Agreed."

"Our clan concurs."

"Endorsed."

One after another, the colossal beasts made their voices heard.

Time flew by, years passed.

Since Li Chengyi acquired the Ninth Son, five years had gone by in the blink of an eye.

Within the cavern of Liushan.

The small building had been left idle, and deeper within the mountain wall, Li Chengyi had carved out a vast cave to serve as his secluded chamber for profound cultivation.

At this moment inside the chamber.

A slender and well-proportioned young man in white robes, with long black hair draped over his shoulders, sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes closed in meditation.

Behind him, a mysterious and dim silhouette appeared intermittently, showing only half its outline.

It was a colossal white deer with nine squirrel heads.

To be precise, it had the body of a deer and the heads of squirrels; the nine gray squirrel heads were arranged in a row, their features fierce with bulging muscles, and their eyes emitted a piercing blood-red light.

This was the original form that Li Chengyi had acquired while cultivating the Nine Gods Overpowering Heaven Technique.

If one could inspect from behind, they would find that the tails of these nine-headed squirrels even had black snake heads at the ends, occasionally flicking their crimson tongues.

Having cultivated for an indeterminate amount of time, soon Li Chengyi’s entire body flashed with black light, and he slowly opened his eyes, gradually coming out of deep cultivation.

His Consciousness Power had vastly surpassed what it was before, thanks to burning demon essence, and the breadth of his realm had expanded to cover a diameter of over twenty thousand kilometers, nearly half the surface area of Baishi Star.

Within the reach of his realm, the vitality lines of various noble houses, wild creatures, plants, inanimate objects, and all other forms of life naturally emerged in his mind.

With ease, he could create legions of Immortal Zombies if he wished.

But what concerned him wasn’t this; it was that after reaching the Fourth Layer of the Nine Gods Overpowering Heaven Technique, he faced the real obstacle of needing a special environment for further cultivation.

And moreover...

"This world appears as if separated by a layer of glass, unclear and impossible to fully penetrate," Li Chengyi sighed.

The progress of his True Yuan had reached this point; to continue advancing would be of little use, as True Yuan can only be burned a fixed number of times.

He had already burned his demon essence nine times, which was the limit.

Yet the expansion of his realm still required a vast amount of Consciousness Power.

Standing up, Li Chengyi decided not to continue with deep cultivation.

’It’s time to try reaping what I have sown....’ Over these years, he had distinctly felt that his outer self could hardly withstand much more.

Next, after harvesting Evil Thoughts, it would be necessary to find a way to return to his original body and to balance the Holy Body.
