Chapter 660

"The Master is back. Go notify the Mistress quickly."

"Greetings, Master."

After Xiu Xiang returned home, the servants respectfully welcomed his return.

In his joy, Xiu Xiang did not forget to give orders: "Go prepare a banquet. We have distinguished guests visiting today. Use the best meat, the best wine, and let all the beautiful maidens in the house come out to accompany them."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, these servants immediately began to make arrangements.

Not long after, the fragrance of meat drifted through the residence, and all the servants were busy.

However, during this time, Li Yi had already come to the trunk of the ancient tree in Xiu Xiang's home and sat down. An auspicious cloud condensed and did not dissipate beneath him, and brilliant radiance emanated from his body, which could be seen clearly even in the daytime.

"This place is truly incredible." Li Yi, who had entered a state of cultivation, was shocked in his heart at this moment.

He attempted to perform the Heaven and Earth Qi-Gathering Great Art.

The next moment, he felt the entire world responding to him. Endless cosmic energy surged like a tide, instantly submerging him. He felt as if he were soaking in an energy field; with every breath, countless amounts of cosmic energy filled every corner of his body.

His cultivation speed seemed to have received the blessing of incense, advancing by leaps and bounds.

Besides this, Li Yi also felt a warm, bright energy flowing into the depths of his soul. This energy nourished his soul, making it feel as if it possessed the aura of life, and it began to grow vigorously.

"This is the energy field of the divine tree. This energy can strengthen a person's soul and allow the cultivator's soul to begin transforming?" He was very surprised.

He had never encountered such a miraculous energy field before.

If he cultivated here for a period of time, he had full confidence in reaching the realm of Five Qi Converging at the Origin.

And after his soul power became strong, Li Yi's cultivation speed accelerated once again. He seemed to have entered a virtuous cycle, progressing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The reason for all of this was the divine tree in Divine Wood City.

"Those who consume Qi become divine and live long. Lord Dayi, are you consuming Qi?"

At this moment, an old man's voice sounded. An old man holding a wooden staff, with a white beard and a sturdy physique, had arrived under the tree at some point, asking with a smile.

Li Yi suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes emitted light; that was the change produced by the condensation of cosmic energy.

"Nanshan Bo?"

Looking at the old man, he immediately revealed a hint of surprise: "You are actually in Divine Wood City as well."

"The merchant was in trouble, so I abandoned my long journey and specifically came to rescue him. However, it seems I arrived late; the merchant has already been rescued by you, so I had no choice but to come to Divine Wood City," Nanshan Bo said.

Hearing this, Li Yi's expression changed slightly.

One had to know that from the time he rescued Xiu Xiang to arriving in Divine Wood City, only a few hours had passed. This Nanshan Bo had actually managed to catch up.

This kind of action capability was truly terrifying.

Sure enough.

Last time, he had left behind a single sentence, successfully guiding this Nanshan Bo onto the path of cultivation. And once such an old man from the savage world embarked on the path of cultivation, it would be very terrifying.

It was likely that he had already mastered many magic arts without a teacher, and his strength must have also advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching an unimaginable height.

This was like Li Yi, an evolver, suddenly practicing martial arts; others' thirty years of hard work could not compare to his one month of dual cultivation.

"Nanshan Bo, your aura has already merged with heaven and earth. I don't even know what realm you have cultivated to; I fear you are not far from becoming a Deity of a Region," Li Yi exclaimed.

"Hehe."

Nanshan Bo smiled and stroked his beard: "I consumed Qi for ten days and felt the aura of life strengthening. I consumed Qi for thirty days and felt that my life would no longer pass away; time could not leave any traces on me. Since consuming Qi until now, my intent has been able to leave my body, roaming heaven and earth, and I can no longer perceive the changes of time."

"The legendary immortality is probably this realm. However, I should not have become a Deity of a Region yet; this is probably because the time spent cultivating is not enough."

Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but be stunned.

Having cultivated until now, Nanshan Bo had already become immortal?

In the Dharma-Ending cultivation world, this could rival an Enlightened One, and in the Xuanxian Continent, it would at least be a Human Immortal.

And how much time had passed?

This Nanshan Bo was truly a supreme cultivation genius. If he continued like this, his becoming a Deity of a Region was only a matter of time.

"But this is thanks to your words, Lord Dayi, which allowed me to understand the mystery of life. A person's lifespan is limited, while heaven and earth are infinite. If, within one's limited lifespan, one merges oneself with this heaven and earth, then you are a part of heaven and earth, and cannot be destroyed by time. The entire heaven and earth is your body. Powerful warriors can destroy life, but they cannot destroy heaven and earth and nature."

Nanshan Bo narrowed his eyes and said: "And this should be the secret of the strength of the gods."

"Nanshan Bo, what you have understood is very profound and also very correct. It makes me admire you," Li Yi said sincerely.

"I have recorded everything about my cultivation in this book, 'The Great Wilderness Chronicles: The Chronicles of Yi'. If you are interested, Lord Dayi, you can take a look," Nanshan Bo said.

But Li Yi shook his head and refused: "I won't look. The Dao that everyone understands is different. This is your Dao, Nanshan Bo; I have my own path to walk."

He was already cultivating enough things and had no time to study a new path of cultivation, so he politely declined.

Furthermore, the Dao that Nanshan Bo understood was very profound and not suitable for his current self.

He should still strive for Three Flowers Converging at the Crown and Five Qi Converging at the Origin.

"Haha, you are right, Lord Dayi. This is the Dao I understood, which may not be suitable for everyone. Your words have made me understand another principle."

Nanshan Bo's eyes lit up, and then he laughed loudly.

"Lord Dayi, although consuming Qi is good, the merchant has already prepared a banquet. Would you be willing to go with me to the banquet to eat meat?"

Li Yi said: "Since Nanshan Bo has invited me, how could I dare to refuse?"

He stopped cultivating, leaped down from the tree, and then went to the banquet with Nanshan Bo.

To celebrate his survival from North Wasteland City and to repay the life-saving grace of Li Yi and Nv Heng, this banquet was very grand. Just by smelling the aroma of the meat, Li Yi knew that the meat cooked this time was quite extraordinary.

It was likely meat of the Mountain Lord level.

Just the scent made the Divine Blood in his body churn, and his whole body felt comfortable.

And at the banquet, Li Yi also saw Xiu Xiang's wife.

She was indeed a graceful and beautiful maiden, and she looked very young; time had not left any traces on this woman, but in reality, she had already given birth to five children for Xiu Xiang.

"Lord Dayi, please take your seat quickly."

Xiu Xiang smiled and said: "You must eat more of this meat. This is the meat of a Three-Mountain Lord, which I bought with a heavy price. The person who sold the meat said that this meat is incredibly delicious and can strengthen a person's power."

"Thank you, Xiu Xiang." Li Yi nodded.

After he took his seat, beautiful maidens immediately brought the meat of the Mountain Lord for him to enjoy.

After Li Yi ate a piece, he felt his essence and energy churning, his Divine Blood burning hot, and he had an inexhaustible amount of strength.

The meat of this Three-Mountain Lord was indeed extraordinary.

He immediately ate a few more pieces and drank a lot of fine wine.

Others were the same, eating meat and drinking wine.

Even Long Yu's injuries had healed quite a bit after eating such meat.
