Chapter 239

Facts proved that what Li Yu accomplished was completely worthy of the generous reward given by the Buddha.

The historical process of the wild folk race, because of him, directly underwent a fundamental reversal.

And Buddhism, ahead of the other five major sects, began to penetrate deep into the forbidden areas.

At least that 【Wild Folk Earth Cave】, which stretched for unknown miles and had countless living beings, would likely fall into the hands of Buddhism.

This, too, could be considered a major historical event.

As the "key turning point," Li Yu should have become famous, but the Buddha and the Toad God, for their own purposes, actually joined forces to deceive and cover for the "Emerald Living Buddha," the avatar of the Lord of Myriad Changes, making Li Yu achieve the condition of perfect invisibility.

Of course, more importantly, his ascension ritual, which had no clues and was extremely difficult, was actually achieved in this way.

Quietly and silently, the relevant feedback fell into Li Yu's body at a certain moment in the future through the great power in the dark.

In a certain Eternal Graveyard that buried many corpses.

Li Yu was "reading" a vast soul that occupied his skull, using the many secret knowledge items within it that were judged as secret lore to charge his Truth Bubbles.

The Aeon-Light juvenile was dead through and through!

But because it died from the long-lived poison, the soul did not dissipate but stopped operating.

There, it was like an extremely vast and thick book of dead souls.

However, not everything recorded in the book could be charged.

Only knowledge that passed the judgment could make the bubbles flash quickly.

Even so, before the time limit had passed, the "twentieth" bubble on Li Yu's eye membrane was already full.

And the twenty-first was also more than half charged.

Regrettably, before the time limit passed, the book was finished.

In the end, he failed to achieve the feat of filling two in a row, but fortunately, he was only a little bit off.

"As the number grows, the subsequent 【Truth Bubbles】 will become increasingly difficult to charge; ordinary secret knowledge can no longer be judged."

"An Aeon-Light juvenile being able to provide nearly two is already not bad."

"If it were an adult, it would definitely be double, or even several times that."

After reading the Aeon-Light juvenile, the time limit also entered the countdown stage.

Li Yu faced the danger of perishing.

After the countdown ended, he could still consume one more bubble to extend his life for a few hundred more breaths.

After that, with nothing to supplement, he would die suddenly.

Even a powerhouse with a resilient heart-soul would inevitably feel fear when facing a certain-death outcome.

But Li Yu was still absolutely rational, without any waves.

He even had time to use the "Truth Eye" to peer into the graveyard he was in, taking the remaining information into his eyes one by one.

"Useless decaying corpses... corpses that died of old age... corpses..."

"This Eternal Graveyard was naturally formed around the 【Aeon-Light juvenile】 and already has rules; except for the juvenile, other life forms can leave freely as long as they find a way to break away."

"Method of leaving: think back to the place of entry, and you can break away."

"Eternal Mist and graveyard... insufficient authority, unable to peer."

"So simple?"

When Li Yu peered into the method of leaving, he wished time could flow backward.

If he only needed to think about it, then when he stepped into the trap and entered, if he had chosen to escape at the first moment, wouldn't he have been able to exempt himself from this death crisis?

After all, no matter how heaven-defying the Aeon-Light juvenile's possession ability was, it still needed time to be launched.

Unfortunately, there were no "ifs" in this world.

Thinking about it, he knew it was impossible.

Because no one would know the method of leaving in advance; after falling into a trap, one would instinctively choose to be cautious and observe the surroundings.

Missing the timing of a single moment meant one could never leave again.

This was also why!

The graveyard was full of corpses possessed and then abandoned by the Aeon-Demon.

When this last bit of secret lore entered his eyes, the countdown ended.

Li Yu also instantly left the Truth state, but just as he intended to consume another Truth Bubble to re-enter and stall for his life.

Abruptly!

An unimaginable surprise came.

On Li Yu's face, there was first a daze, then a loss of composure, and a look of surprise appeared.

He sensed a kind of unimaginable "feedback" entering his body through a mysterious and unknowable way.

The ascension that hadn't had time to proceed, that is, the poison-removal ritual, was actually completed on the spot.

The terrifying long-lived poison in his body that targeted all sentient beings disappeared without a trace at this moment, like a receding tide, without leaving a single trace.

Without the medicine poison, naturally, Li Yu didn't need to forcibly resist and avoid erosion and pollution through the Truth Soul Body form.

He was fine!

A very dramatic turn of events and ending.

Even Li Yu himself had never thought of this beforehand.

He had only seen with the Truth Eye that after making that choice, a chance of survival would appear. He hadn't expected the chance to be this.

When the medicine poison completely dissipated, Li Yu also vaguely sensed the reason, sensing the scenes that followed at the border of the Great Snow Mountain and the Wild Folk Earth Cave.

"What a good fortune by accident."

"I was still racking my brains on how to complete the 【Ascension Ritual】, and I was still thinking about the various sealed ruins in the three forbidden areas, or the spacetime shattered realms in the mystic domain conquests... I didn't expect to do it in that Great Snow Mountain, in an inadvertent employment mission."

"And, it was over-completed."

"The major historical event I participated in, and even led, will directly reverse the fate of the wild folk race."

"Besides the existing ones, there will be other benefits later."

"For example, I can roleplay in the future... no, I am directly the 【Eternal Glazed Fear-Inducing Great Scholar】, 【Great Venerable of Ten Thousand Laws and Calamity-Extinguishing Golden Lotus】... when I appear in the wild folk race again, even if I don't use the art of pretending to be a god or ghost, I can still influence and control a huge number of wild folk."

"Or, the reward the Toad God promised me after watching the fun hasn't been given yet because He couldn't enter the Eternal Mist, so it was delayed."

"The incense and human favor between me and the Buddha, a True God, is even more precious."

Please... collect_(!)

"With this friendship, if I encounter an irresistible danger in the future and pray to Him for guidance using the 【Golden Cicada Shedding】 as a medium, could He not save me?"

The more Li Yu thought, the more joyful he felt.

A seemingly ordinary employment mission had exploded with unimaginable huge rewards and compensation for him.

And, it wasn't over yet.

The long-lived poison was dispelled, and Li Yu survived without paying any price.

But that "Aeon-Light juvenile" was not so lucky; its heart-soul consciousness was too vast and it was in such a hurry to occupy as much of Li Yu's shell as possible, so it died extremely quickly, and the first wave of the long-lived poison explosion poisoned it to death completely.

Of course, if Li Yu hadn't maintained the Truth Soul Body state the whole time, he would have died suddenly long ago.

One of the rules of the cultivation world: powerful and obsessed transcendent individuals will, after death, precipitate some strange objects containing extraordinary characteristics or divinity.

The Aeon-Light juvenile fit perfectly.

Its obsession before death was even more vast.

Before, there was no way, but now that Li Yu had successfully survived, he certainly wouldn't allow his skull to still be occupied by a dead, vast soul.

This wasn't even a matter of "how can one allow others to snore beside one's bed," but rather lying with a giant corpse—who could stand that?

Li Yu didn't hesitate to invite the dead soul of the Aeon-Light juvenile, which had brought him huge benefits, out.

The moment it left Li Yu's shell, the dead soul changed.

Right under his watchful eyes, a strange strange object was being born.

This was an extremely exquisite, magnificent, and infinitely mysterious compass!

It seemed to be cast purely from "cosmic starlight," and just its appearance made it hard for one to take their eyes off it.

Looking closer, all things in this world could see everything they wanted in it, although they were all just phantom reflections.

The most incredible, and also the most eye-catching.

Was the "spacetime characteristic" attached to it that anyone could feel, as if this object existed in the past, present, and future simultaneously.

Although this object hadn't shown any abilities yet.

Even a fool could judge its preciousness from this extraordinary appearance.

"This...?"

Even Li Yu was completely attracted by it at this moment.

He reached out his hand involuntarily, losing his caution for the first time and actively touching it.

The reason he was so "reckless" was that he felt some familiar aura from this compass.

For example, Truth Bubbles.

A guess emerged directly in his heart: "This strange object is not only precipitated and condensed from the 【Aeon-Demon Dead Soul】, but it clearly also stained some of the soul Qi aura in my body; it is a treasure that naturally belongs to me."

This thought of Li Yu's was quickly verified.

He didn't even need to grope or try.

The moment the compass was in his hand, all its functions and effects appeared in Li Yu's heart.

"Aeon-Demon Luo Pan!"

"Condensed and generated from the soul of a juvenile Aeon-Demon after death, it possesses almost all the innate divine abilities of the Aeon-Demon race, including immobilization, soul-freezing, possession, spacetime navigation, and time-stasis fields."

"But limited by the fact that it is a dead soul, the duration and effectiveness of each function are all limited by the user's own status."

"Like the 【Spacetime Navigation】 function, obtained from the time-travel ability of the Aeon-Demon race, but if I hold the compass to travel through time, the navigation will only be effective for a moment before failing again, and I will be lost in the River of Time, with life and death uncertain."

"Or the 【Time-Stasis Field】, which is currently only effective for one breath and cannot imprison life forms above Sequence Four."

"Even so, it is enough."

"With this treasure in hand, if I say I am invincible among the same tier, it might be a bit exaggerated, but it's not bragging."

Upon understanding these, the joy on Li Yu's face could no longer be concealed.

And very quickly, holding the compass, he gradually felt the last effect that made him incredibly happy.

"This 'Aeon-Light juvenile' had an accident during consciousness migration, so within the group, it will be judged as having died in the past; if I kill it, there won't be any Aeon-Demon race coming to seek revenge."

"Because of the rule of the Aeon-Demon race: always migrate to the future, and never return to the past."

"Since there will be no revenge, can I use it for 【Law-Theft Roleplay】? I can hold it, roleplay as the Aeon-Light juvenile, and ask for help from the 'Aeon-Demon race' in the future..."
