Chapter 729: Dragon Tooth Domain
The long journey that followed was uneventful. Li Luo had already forgotten how many kingdoms, how many endless mountain ranges, and how many vast seas the flying boat had traversed. Along the way, he witnessed too many harsh environments born of heaven and earth; in these places, even a Marquis-sealing expert would not
dare to stay long, and could only detour to avoid them.
And when the journey time reached about a month, Li Luo and his group finally passed through a massive inter-provincial teleportation array and formally arrived at the Outer Shenzhou of Tianyuan.
Tianyuan Outer Shenzhou, Sky City. Sky City is the name of this towering, majestic city. It is said that if one from the Outer Shenzhou wishes to enter the Tianyuan Outer Shenzhou, this city is the only path, so the three words "Sky City" exude an air of arrogance, reflecting
the Inner Shenzhou's attitude of looking down upon the Outer Shenzhou.
Regarding this attitude, Li Luo felt slightly displeased; the Inner Shenzhou really exuded a sense of superiority everywhere.
However, displeasure aside, it did not prevent him from being shocked by the immense and dense heavenly and earthly energy within the Tianyuan Outer Shenzhou. When Li Luo stepped out of that massive teleportation array, the first thing he felt was the heavenly and earthly energy permeating this bustling city; the strength of that energy was almost comparable to the en-
ergy density inside the Golden House of the Luo An Manor.
But one must know that the Golden House was built at an enormous cost, yet here, that level of energy density was seen everywhere.
This could only mean that the heavenly and earthly energy of the Inner Shenzhou was indeed far, far stronger than that of the Outer Shenzhou.
Perhaps only such an environment could give birth to a true sanctuary of cultivation.
And while Li Luo marveled at the strength of the heavenly and earthly energy in the Tianyuan Outer Shenzhou, Li Li Rouyun did not stop; instead, she directly piloted the flying boat through the sky, heading straight toward the northern horizon. "This Sky City is merely a borderland of the Tianyuan Outer Shenzhou. We still need to transit through a dozen cities, using their teleportation arrays for long-distance travel, before we can finally reach the Dragon Tooth Domain." On the flying boat, Li Li Rouyun ex-
plained to Li Luo.
"By the way, this Dragon Tooth Domain is the exclusive fiefdom of our Dragon Tooth Pulse. It is divided into the Twelve Shi Er Jing, and the territory of each Shi Er Jing is several times more vast than your Great Xia." Li Luo immediately gasped in awe to show respect; one Shi Er Jing being more vast than Great Xia, what terrifying scale would these Twelve Shi Er Jing possess? Moreover, this was just the Dragon Tooth Pulse; if the other four pulses were added together, the entire Li Li Tianwang lineage's do-
minion would be unimaginable.
Is this the power of a Li Li Tianwang-level faction?
At this moment, even though Li Luo was very reluctant to admit it, he couldn't help but feel that he was truly a country bumpkin.
"I really am like a small country landlord entering the home of a billionaire relative," he joked self-deprecatingly. Li Li Rouyun shook her head and corrected him: "This is not the home of a billionaire relative; this is your own home. The Old Master is the Head of the Dragon Tooth Pulse, and you are his grandson, possessing the most direct bloodline. So, in the strict sense, in the future, you
might even have the qualification to inherit the Dragon Tooth Domain, of course, provided you possess the strength for it."
Li Luo smiled and remained noncommittal about this. Although this family estate was so vast he could not imagine it, deep in his heart, he still preferred the small Luo An Manor, where his parents were, and where Jiang Jiang Qinge was. Li Li Rouyun seemed to know Li Luo's thoughts but did not say much, for regardless, whether it was the Li Li Tianwang lineage or the Old Master, they were extremely strange to Li Luo. Although there was a blood tie
connecting them, during Li Luo's years of life, the Dragon Tooth Pulse had played no part at all, so expecting Li Luo to develop a sense of identification with them right now was unrealistic.
But Li Li Rouyun believed that in the future, as Li Luo stayed within the Dragon Tooth Pulse, he would eventually come to like it.
So she said no more and drove the flying boat at full speed.
After chatting with Niu Niu Biaobiao for a while, Li Luo returned to the cabin, which was divided into several simple small rooms suitable for resting during long journeys.
Li Luo sat cross-legged and began his daily, unceasing cultivation.
The Three-Cycle Dragon Breath Evil Refining Art was immediately activated, then it inhaled and exhaled the Earth Evil energy from heaven and earth, finally refining streams of Earth Evil Mysterious Light from it and casting them into his own Image Palace. During this month of travel, Li Luo cultivated with great seriousness because he understood that although returning to the Dragon Tooth Pulse had gained him a huge backing, it did not mean he had no worries left. According to
what Li Li Rouyun said, even within the Dragon Tooth Pulse, if he wanted to obtain more cultivation resources, he would still have to rely on his own strength to fight for them.
So, ultimately, only by being strong enough oneself could one gain sufficient attention.
Time passed in cultivation. After the last stream of Earth Evil Mysterious Light was cast into the Image Palace, Li Luo's consciousness sank in, and he saw that within the Water Light Image Palace, over a thousand streams of Mysterious Light darted about like birds.
Li Luo swept his consciousness and immediately knew the number of these Mysterious Lights.
One thousand three hundred! Yes, the Earth Evil Mysterious Lights within Li Luo's Image Palace had now exceeded a thousand! And when Li Luo set out for South Wind City a month ago, this number was only around three hundred. From this, it could be seen that during this month of travel, Li
Luo's cultivation had not relaxed even a bit.
"By my estimation, my Water Light Image Palace should ultimately be able to hold five thousand streams of Earth Evil Mysterious Light." Generally, the Image Palace of a Small Evil Palace Realm can hold three thousand streams of Earth Evil Mysterious Light. Of course, this is not absolute and will fluctuate according to the grade of one's own Image Nature. Simply put, the higher the grade of the Image Nature possessed by the Image Palace, the
stronger its holding limit will be.
Normally, to be able to hold five thousand streams while still in the Small Evil Palace Realm, one's Image Nature would at least have to reach the Upper Eighth Grade.
Li Luo's Image Nature naturally did not reach the Upper Eighth Grade, but his unique primary-and-secondary Upper Seventh Grade Water Light Image was in no way inferior to other Upper Eighth Grade single Images.
"According to this rate of condensing Earth Evil Mysterious Light, it will still take nearly three months to reach five thousand." Li Luo gazed into the Water Light Image Palace. Only when the Earth Evil Mysterious Lights within the Water Light Image Palace reached their limit could he strengthen and elevate this Image Palace to the level of the Great Evil Palace Realm. And three months, perhaps not
long for others, was too luxurious for him.
Because he himself not only had the Water Light Image Palace but also two other Image Palaces, and those two Image Palaces also required him to spend time and energy to strengthen and refine.
"I must shorten this time to within two months," Li Luo muttered. The condensation of Earth Evil Mysterious Light is the mark of the Earth Evil General Rank, and the speed of Mysterious Light condensation depends on many things, the most important of which is the grade of the Evil Refining Art. The "Three-Cycle Dragon Breath
Evil Refining Art" he cultivates is already of the Five Evil Grade. This grade of Evil Refining Art is absolutely top-tier in Great Xia, but if placed in the Tianyuan Outer Shenzhou, it might not be.
So after arriving at the Dragon Tooth Pulse, Li Luo might have to consider whether he can find a higher-grade Evil Refining Art. Additionally, to increase the condensation speed of Earth Evil Mysterious Light, one can also use external objects, such as the Primordial Evil Pill. Such pills could only be exchanged by students of the Three-Star Court at the Saint Profound Star Academy, and the quantity was quite small, but with the Dragon Tooth Pulse's
foundation, they could certainly afford to squander such pills. So if possible, Li Luo would also need a large amount of Primordial Evil Pills.
In the end, it still comes down to needing cultivation resources.
Of course, to speak bluntly, the reason Li Luo was willing to travel such a vast distance to the Tianyuan Outer Shenzhou was precisely this purpose.
With the Dragon Tooth Pulse's terrifying foundation, supporting a rice worm like him should be easy, right?
Thinking thus, Li Luo smiled, then closed his eyes again, continuing to immerse himself in cultivation, beginning to collect and condense Earth Evil Mysterious Light.
And time passed rapidly under these days of cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, another half month had passed.
On this day, Li Li Rouyun's voice, carrying a hint of relief, reached the ears of Li Luo, who was cultivating, and woke him.
"Li Luo, we have arrived at the Dragon Tooth Domain."
Li Luo's heart trembled slightly, and inevitably, a bit of curiosity and expectation rose within him. Was he, finally, about to meet that grandfather he had never seen or met?
