Chapter 732: Time Flies

The Zhongjie Daozhu did not appear to stop this round of harvesting and fishing; perhaps he had become numb, or perhaps he was observing from the shadows. However, Li Heng did not care about any of this, just as always.

After a long while, Li Heng felt a bit of emotion.

This Zhanchang, which gathered powerhouses from multiple eras, was truly a treasure trove. He even felt that he could stay here forever, farming Source Power until the end of time.

Soon, the quota for killing this time was met.

Li Heng was also very self-aware and immediately stopped to return and go into seclusion.

Regardless of whether the Zhongjie Daozhu appeared or not.

After Li Heng left, the figure of the Zhongjie Daozhu appeared in the shadows, feeling very distressed. What was going on? This time he had already used twelve times his observational power, so why could he still not see any clues?

Was this Li Heng really that heaven-defying?

He could not figure it out no matter how much he thought about it.

Time flowed by slowly. During this period, Li Heng carried out multiple harvests, raising his Golden Source Points to 300 billion, allowing himself to sublimate once more, his fifth transformation.

However, this time was perhaps just a transitional stage, merely an accumulation of magnitude, and no major changes appeared.

Although he was getting closer and closer to the upper limit of the Hongdao Level, there was still some distance. Moreover, without using Source Power, he could not see through that Zhongjie Daozhu.

This could only be said that a Dao Lord is worthy of being a Dao Lord.

Even just a wisp of a remnant soul was mysterious and unfathomable.

Of course, Li Heng was not in a hurry either.

In any case, there was plenty of time and plenty of Source Power. It was the perfect time to use these moments to contemplate the Dao Lord Rune he had obtained, which also benefited him greatly and was advantageous to his own Great Dao.

If the fifth sublimation and transformation could not fathom the bottom line of the Zhongjie Daozhu, then what about the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth? As long as the Dao Lord stood there, he would one day be able to reach it.

Before that, there was no need to be impatient; he was laying the foundation.

At this moment, the Zhongjie Daozhu, sensing Li Heng's latest sublimation and transformation, fell into boundless silence. He did not know how to describe Li Heng; his progress was so fast, like a monster, simply unreasonable, just like those things he had faced in the past.

Was the appearance of this Li Heng a blessing or a curse?

He asked himself, then shook his head, not knowing.

As a Dao Lord of the Great Void, even if only a wisp of a remnant soul remained, he could discern all possibilities. But in Li Heng, this common logic was no longer logic.

He could not see through any of Li Heng's actions or future.

Time flowed by once again.

During this period, besides Li Heng, Li Qianjun and the Wudao Gong artifact spirit also showed corresponding progress and growth. Especially Li Qianjun, because he had lost his love interest twice, there were signs of him turning dark; he was taciturn, constantly fighting and killing others, and constantly comprehending the Void Great Dao, causing himself to progress rapidly.

"There is no need to be so desperate; haste makes waste."

The Wudao Gong artifact spirit transformed into a small figure and floated beside Li Qianjun.

Ever since he was kicked off the Upper Battlefield by Li Heng, he had been following Li Qianjun, playing the role of a golden finger and an old grandfather. Back then, it was also he who helped Li Qianjun resolve the siege of those ten powerful kings.

"How can I rest? I cannot stop for even a moment. The ten murderers who killed Caidie are still Carefree, still arrogant, while I am powerless!"

Li Qianjun clenched his fists, the raging fire in his heart burning fiercely, and he shouted in anger, hammering into the Void, directly cracking the surrounding Void and causing the infinite Multiverse that was born and destroyed by the aftermath of the battle to return to Emptiness.

This was the cruelty of the Zhanchang.

No matter what model of Multiverse it was—Liangzi Duoyuan Yuzhou, landscape multiverse, cyclic multiverse, or even the so-called ultimate multiverse, generalized multiverse, and the infinite Heavens and Myriad Worlds—none were fit to survive here.

"Be careful of falling into demonic ways and losing your mind."

The artifact spirit sighed.

Having spent so many years together and witnessing the pain and struggle in Li Qianjun's heart, he really wanted to tell him that all of this was directed by Li Heng. But he could not, and he dared not.

"What if I fall into demonic ways? If falling into demonic ways can save Caidie, what does it matter if I fall into the Abyss or Jiuyou and become a demon? Back then, I lost the first 'her' for that ridiculous Immortal Dao, and now I have lost Caidie. What is the use of the so-called Carefree Immortal Dao?"

Li Qianjun said bitterly.

Unfortunately, the Great Void is both subjective and objective; no matter how angry he was in his heart or how much he wanted to fall into demonic ways, it would not change because of him personally.

"I suggest you relax. Meng Caidie did not die at the hands of a Disaster monster, so theoretically, she can be resurrected, as long as your strength is strong enough."

The artifact spirit said.

"Yes, strength strong enough. You said before that as long as I ascend to an Upper Emperor, I can resurrect Caidie. Is that true?"

Li Qianjun said melancholically.

"No, no, Senior Artifact Spirit, you don't need to answer this question. I can only believe this answer, and I must believe this answer." Seeing the artifact spirit open his mouth to speak, he directly stopped the artifact spirit, not wanting to know more information from him.

"Sigh, it is good that you know."

The artifact spirit had a complex expression and sighed. Was it good or bad that this little guy Li Qianjun got involved with Li Heng?

To say it was good—although he did not see Li Heng take action directly, Meng Caidie's passing was likely related to him. To say it was bad—Li Qianjun being able to reach this point, possessing this strength, and even being able to meet Meng Caidie was all because of Li Heng.

It was him who was good, and it was him who was bad.

It was him who was kind, and it was him who was evil.

Thinking of this, he could not help but look up at the sky, as if passing through the infinite Void and the limits of time and space to reach that supreme Upper Battlefield, his gaze deep, as if he saw that existence who transcended good and evil looking down on all living beings.

Back then on the Upper Battlefield, this was what Li Heng said.

"You are still too weak right now and have not reached the realm of an Upper Emperor. If you can reach an Upper Emperor, then you can enter the Shikong Jintou with me to find your master."

"Of course, you can also choose to refuse. What is your decision..."

The artifact spirit recalled his choice and pondered.

"Let's go, the road ahead is long and the Dao is obstructed."

After a long while, having calmed his mood, the artifact spirit said.

Li Qianjun needed to progress and grow, and so did he. But was his master still alive? He also had similar confusion as Li Qianjun. And like Li Qianjun, he dared not guess or confirm this answer.

This behavior was like that of a coward.

A journey of two cowards traveling together.

Time continued to flow. Li Heng was too lazy to remember, and did not need to remember, how many times he had fished and harvested Source Power; he only needed to remember his Golden Source Points.

And now! His Golden Source Points had reached 2.9 trillion! He was only 100 billion away from gathering 3 trillion to sublimate again and complete his sixth sublimation and transformation.

And this time, he felt that it was far from simple!
