Chapter 88: The Pitch-Black Gourd

Twelfth level of the Holy Tower.

The pitch-black gourd floated in the air, its small pitch-black mouth increasing its suction force, sweeping up the Original Qi from all directions like a whale swallowing water.

Hearing Yu Sheng's voice.

Lu Li felt a bit embarrassed.

He reached out and beckoned, causing the pitch-black gourd to stop absorbing the Original Qi. Although he still couldn't truly activate the pitch-black gourd, with the help of the pitch-black little fire within, manipulating it briefly was not too difficult.

"It is a bit much!"

A look of sheepishness appeared on Lu Li's face.

This pitch-black gourd could swallow all the pitch-black ghost mist in the entire Jiemie Ghost Ridge.

Although this Holy Tower also formed its own space, it was far less vast than the Jiemie Ghost Ridge. If he really let the pitch-black gourd absorb it so unscrupulously, he feared it wouldn't be long before it swallowed all the Original Qi here.

Even now, the Original Qi here had already thinned out quite a bit!

"Hehe, it's also my own arrogance!"

Yu Sheng shook his head with a bitter smile.

This Original Qi was something he had managed to get with great difficulty, and for it to vanish into thin air by more than half, he would have to expend a lot of effort to restore it. Had he known, he wouldn't have boasted and would have just given five or ten units to be polite.

But as a Saint, having experienced the changes of the world.

This emotion passed in a flash!

He looked at the pitch-black gourd that had returned to Lu Li's waist, revealing a look of gravity.

"Kid, this pitch-black gourd contains vast death Qi, almost walking to the limit of the evil path. Once it loses control, I fear it will instantly give birth to a supreme powerhouse of the evil path. You must treat it with caution."

"I will be careful."

Lu Li nodded lightly.

This gourd was born from the magic vine.

That magic vine had absorbed the pitch-black ghost mist of the entire Jiemie Ghost Ridge!

Extremely yin and extremely evil!

So from the very beginning, he had remained guarded; otherwise, the extremely evil death Qi inside would have been enough to make him convert his cultivation method, walk the evil path, and break through to a level unattainable by ordinary people at the fastest speed.

Nor would it have had no movement until now.

"That is good."

Yu Sheng smiled slightly.

He pointed his finger, and a beam of origin spiritual light merged into Lu Li's chest.

In an instant, the Qian Wang Peerless Order flashed with endless golden light, and an even more vast power slowly merged into it.

"Wang Yuanqian has good talent, and he put some thought into the Qian Wang Peerless Order he created himself. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become the first person to become a Saint in the hundred years since the recovery of spirit energy."

Yu Sheng looked at Lu Li with a smile again.

"But you are not bad either. If your opportunity is sufficient, you might be able to catch up from behind. You must grasp the opportunity well."

"The Saint is too kind!"

Lu Li smiled bitterly.

He didn't bother with the changes in the Qian Wang Peerless Order.

If he could become a Saint, he wouldn't be afraid.

But judging from their last meeting, Qian Wang might have already crossed the barrier to becoming a Saint and would break through before long, while he was currently only at Martial Spirit Perfection; no matter what, he couldn't catch up!

"No need to be self-deprecating. Although Wang Yuanqian has sufficient opportunity, he still needs some time. You have cultivated to Martial Spirit Perfection at such an age; as long as you maintain it, it is not impossible for you to surpass him."

While speaking.

The golden light of the Qian Wang Peerless Order on Lu Li's chest gradually faded.

"Done!"

Yu Sheng collected his mind, and the voice continued to come.

"It was not easy for you to come up once. If you only take away a little Original Qi, it would seem I am too stingy. I modified it slightly, injecting the origin into this Peerless Order, raising the power of that strike to a level comparable to the Martial Saint realm. You only need to move your mind to unleash it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li revealed a look of surprise.

He was about to express his gratitude.

Yu Sheng stopped him with a wave of his hand and handed over an ancient book.

"This is a rubbing of a cultivation method related to that Secret Land. I pass it to you today. After you leave, comprehend it carefully. When the Secret Land opens in three days, it might be of use to you."

Lu Li hurriedly took it.

Seeing this, Yu Sheng chuckled again.

"The matter here is finished; I will send you away now."

With a wave of his hand.

An irresistible origin surged out.

Lu Li only felt the world spinning, and he disappeared completely from the twelfth level of the Holy Tower.

And the moment he left, he seemed to hear Yu Sheng's sigh.

"Lin Xiaoyun, come up."

At this moment.

Outside the Holy Tower.

The spiritual light shining on the twelfth level disappeared.

The pressure transcending the Martial King that enveloped the hundred miles also gradually dissipated.

Everyone revealed a look of confusion.

The pressure dissipated!

The person who broke into the twelfth level of the Holy Tower should have appeared by now!

Why had no one appeared yet?

Lu Li, or Lin Xiaoyun?

Or did both of them reach the twelfth level of the Holy Tower!

Just as they were doubting, an ancient figure appeared from the twelfth level of the Holy Tower.

On this day, the news of Lin Xiaoyun ascending to the twelfth level of the Holy Tower spread throughout the entire Sheng Cheng. Although he explained repeatedly that the person who ascended to the twelfth level of the Holy Tower was not him, no one believed him.

After the news spread that Lin Xiaoyun had returned to the Sheng Cheng Lin Family and become a high-level member of the Lin Family, it made people believe it even more firmly.

Only a disciple of the Saint!

Had the qualifications to ascend to the twelfth level of the Holy Tower and see the Saint!

Just as the news of Lin Xiaoyun ascending to the twelfth level of the Holy Tower spread throughout the Sheng Cheng, Lu Li had already returned to the room on the eighth floor of the Yingbin Ge.

He closed the window and his expression was calm.

This should be Yu Sheng's intention, right?

Not long ago!

Yu Sheng's wave of his hand sent him directly back to this eighth floor of the Yingbin Ge without appearing in front of others.

In this way, naturally, no one would believe that he had ascended to the twelfth level of the Holy Tower!

Lu Li understood Yu Sheng's intention!

The tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!

Yu Sheng probably didn't want him to be too sharp and attract disaster!

After all, this was the Sheng Cheng!

The Human Race was not truly united!

Yu Sheng could not foresee the future; if someone were to strike in secret, he might not be able to stop it in time. Relying only on himself, he might not be able to block all the hidden arrows.

"Yu Sheng is truly thoughtful!"

Lu Li looked in the direction of the Holy Tower.

If not forced by the situation, he wouldn't want to be in the limelight. With his personality, he would rather cultivate quietly. Yu Sheng's arrangement was exactly what he wanted and saved him too much trouble.

Turning back.

Lu Li sat cross-legged again.

With a flip of his hand, the pitch-black gourd appeared before him.

On the twelfth level of the Holy Tower, although Yu Sheng sensed the extremely evil origin of this pitch-black gourd, he did not detect the pitch-black little fire and magic vine seed hidden within.

Even Lu Li himself!

Could only have a vague sense of it through his connection with the pitch-black little fire.

But what Lu Li didn't expect was that after absorbing those Original Qi, this pitch-black gourd actually lifted the restrictions on him.

Allowing him to sense everything within!
