Chapter 522 - 521: Charming Spirit’s Advice, Fire Phoenix’s Mysterious Tracks
Receiving the feedback information, Li Jing was stunned.
Wasn’t it a Stone of All Realms?
Why did the Eye of True Vision feedback that it’s a Chaos original stone?
However, he responded immediately after.
Kalan has had this thing for a full sixty million years, not even knowing what it’s used for, so he definitely made up a cool enough name to make it look more badass.
Understanding the logic, Li Jing flipped the Chaos original stone in his hand, its weight negligible, his eyes sparkling excitedly.
This thing was indeed a rare good item.
No.
More precisely, it is invaluable!
No wonder even the deeply hidden Charming Spirit sacrificed her cover to "steal" one.
It can be used as a cornerstone to create a Spatial Passage, linking two separate spaces.
This is to ordinary people.
It’s not very useful, they could only look at it if they had it.
But for Li Jing, who owned an independent world, its significance was profound.
From a personal point of view, his Little Universe was very convenient.
After all, he was the entrance himself.
He could enter at any time and anywhere.
But for others, it’s not so convenient.
If he was away and happened to not run into them for a long period of time, they could only stare urgently.
Coming back to the topic.
Those who want to come out of the Little Universe can also only do so through him.
Wherever he is, that’s also where they would appear.
The limitation was severe.
Having a Chaos original stone to build a passage, Li Jing can set up an entrance in Chen Tang City for others to come and go freely.
When necessary.
Others from Chen Tang City could also take refuge in the Little Universe.
What?
You say that placing an entrance in the outside world would allow enemies to freely enter?
Come on then!
Come in as you wish!
Unless they also have a complete independent world, entering the Little Universe is a dead-end.
So what?
As long as they are inside the Little Universe, Li Jing still calls the shots, it just doesn’t have too much of a restriction on the other party.
There isn’t much to say.
This Chaos original stone was just irresistible.
It’s a pity there were originally two, but the Charming Spirit "stole" one.
Otherwise, a passage could have been set up for Cangming Entertainment City.
Of course.
Having the Charming Spirit leave him one piece, Li Jing was already very grateful.
After all, essentially he was able to "extort" Kalan and obtain this peerless treasure because of Charming Spirit’s reputation.
If she took all of it, he wouldn’t be able to say anything.
So.
How should this be used?
Just as he was considering whether or not to ask the Charming Spirit through Ling Ling, Li Jing suddenly felt something and mentally entered the Little Universe.
...
At the foot of Canglong Mountain.
On the lake island where two Life Trees were planted, a void space quietly opened.
Li Jing came in and stood still, strangely peering at the Void space.
This...
The work of the Charming Spirit?
Apart from Ling Ling, the only one capable of traversing realms and knowing the spatial coordinates of the Little Universe was the Charming Spirit in the color and desire sky.
So the question is.
What on earth does she want?
Could it be she wants to use the Chaos original stone to fabricate a passage linking the color and desire heaven with the Little Universe?
This...
Isn’t that a little wasteful?
Just as he was thinking this.
A slender and rounded leg stepped out from the Void space, as the Charming Spirit crossed the realms.
Upon seeing Li Jing, she gave a charming smile.
"Have you already figured out what the stone you just got can do?"
Li Jing nodded subconsciously in response.
Having received an affirmative response, the Charming Spirit nodded and said,
"I’m going to set up a Spatial Passage here, you probably won’t object?"
She really plans to open a connection between the Little Universe and the color and desire heave!?
Li Jing had an odd look, and replied,
"I definitely cannot object, Charming Spirit, you’ve been quite involved with me, you’re always welcome here. It’s just that you’re already able to come and go freely, there isn’t really any need to establish an entire pas..."
Before she had even finished speaking, the Charming Spirit said,
"As the Original Demon, I can indeed cross realms and go to any place I want, but things aren’t as easy as you think. Speaking frankly, it is more challenging to come to your place compared to other places, after all, this is your personal universe."
"Having a master or not in a universe is considered a different concept with numerous intricacies. It’s still early for you to understand such things. One day, if you achieve the ability to cross realms, you will comprehend once you experience it yourself."
Having said these two statements in succession, Charming Spirit said,
"Connecting the Desire Heaven with the Little Universe, will make it more convenient for me to come and go in the future. Ling Ling can also directly access Desire Heaven through the channel to find me without any problems. As for you, with your current strength, going to Desire Heaven might cause some issues. It will be better once you advance to the Venerable Realm."
While speaking, she took out the Chaos original stone she had obtained earlier and slapped it onto the spatial rift behind her, which was slowly closing.
The timing was just right.
The Chaos original stone was stuck right at the small opening of the spatial rift which was about to close.
The closing of the spatial rift was obstructed, causing a shaking sensation in the void.
Li Jing, as a controller of the spatial rules, clearly felt the Chaos original stone absorbing a large amount of obscure energy symbolic of nothingness in the void space as it shook.
Glancing at the Chaos original stone, which had stilled, Li Jing blinked and looked at the Charming Spirit.
"Is this... Done?"
"Hmm."
Charming Spirit nodded and said,
"The principle behind this is not very complicated, it is just its characteristic of absorbing energy of nothingness, which keeps the temporary spatial passage from naturally closing and maintains its precise spatial coordinates."
Having said that, she lifted her hand, touched the Chaos original stone, and disappeared.
And in the next second,
She reappeared in the Little Universe.
"It’s set up. No problems."
With a smile on her face, the Charming Spirit went to find Ling Ling, who was sleeping soundly on the Life Tree.
Seeing this, Li Jing called out,
"Wait a minute."
?
Charming Spirit turned around.
"Since you’re here, why don’t you help me out."
Li Jing smiled, handed his Chaos original stone to her, and said,
"I want this one linked to Chen Tang City."
The usage of the Chaos original stone is rather straightforward and crude.
But he only struggled with creating an interstice between two realms.
His ability to access Little Universe at will is not due to his ability to tear the spatial passage but because he is the entrance himself.
Thus, he could only ask the Charming Spirit for help.
Upon hearing Li Jing’s request, the Charming Spirit didn’t refuse. She took the Chaos original stone and answered,
"Okay, I can handle it for you. Also, take note of something."
And with that, she lightly instructed,
"It’s not a good habit to trick people using my name. It would be better if you would distance yourself from me in public."
Upon hearing this, Li Jing frowned.
He had only casually used the Charming Spirit’s name for convenience due to earlier circumstances. He wouldn’t normally involve her.
That’s not the crucial point here.
The main issue was that the Charming Spirit wanted him to distance himself from her in public.
Did this matter...
Implicate something?
As if she knew his doubts, the Charming Spirit said,
"You should understand, a being like me won’t have many friends. Instead, I have countless enemies and adversaries. Some even think that my existence, representing disaster, should not appear in this world and that I am a potential threat who should be eliminated every day. You don’t need to worry about those four little fellows in the Immortal Realm, but if you attract the attention of those from the Upper Three Realms, it could be detrimental to you."
Having said that slowly, Charming Spirit smiled beautifully.
"After all, they can’t do anything to me, so they can only target the people related to me."
...
Li Jing.
The reasoning isn’t too difficult to understand.
However, the Charming Spirit’s last statement was too real.
Since they can’t do anything about her, they will target the people related to her.
To put it bluntly, it meant that they would bully the weak...
He indeed needs to be mindful of this aspect.
The Upper Three Realms, huh?
Li Jing took a deep breath.
Above the Immortal Realm, there existed the Upper Three Realms.
He had heard about this very early.
However, he could only imagine two things about the Upper Three Realms, the location must be resided by those strong individuals who have surpassed the Venerable Realm, and most Venerables in the Immortal Realm who gathered in the Zhong Shen Zhou are in search of a way to advance further. Essentially, it can also be said that they’re trying to go to the Upper Three Realms."
"Are you in a hurry for the passage to Chen Tang City?"
Charming Spirit asked.
"Hmm."
Li Jing nodded, and said,
"After you open the passage, Charming Spirit, just say hello to the Ancient God’s Descendants in Zhenyuan Tower for me. They will notify the others in Phoenix Sun County."
"Okay."
On hearing him, Charming Spirit agreed and moved away.
"I’ll first awaken Ling Ling through play, then help you with the passage."
"..."
Li Jing.
Awakening Ling Ling through play...
This seems a bit wicked!
But it sounds like something interesting.
Watching Charming Spirit leisurely move towards the Life Tree, Li Jing thought that spectating was pointless, and, with a quick thought, returned to Karan’s palace.
It was quite a coincidence.
Just as he returned and was about to sit down, Karan and the others opened their eyes.
Seeing Li Jing sitting there as if nothing had happened, all four of them revealed a trace of surprise in their eyes, looked at each other, and then Karan nervously asked.
"Immortal Lord Li, has she left?"
"I don’t know."
Li Jing shook his head, hiding his hand, and said,
"But since she has taken your item, she should bear witness for you."
Hearing this, Karan’s face lit up, but he couldn’t help feeling a twinge of pain.
He had acquired the Stone of All Realms 60 million years ago, but its purpose remained unknown to him.
And no doubt it is a good thing.
But what he did not expect was...
the Stone of All Realms could attract the existence of Charming Spirit.
Anything that interested Charming Spirit couldn’t be just an ordinary item, could it!?
Just as he was hesitating whether to ask Li Jing if he had learned what the Stone of All Realms can do through Charming Spirit, someone spoke.
"Since she has come here, there is no need for me to bear witness anymore, it’s almost time for me to leave."
Hearing this, Karan was slightly startled, subconsciously wanting to stay.
At this moment, Li Jing gave a grin.
"I’m just a newcomer to the Immortal Realm and not worth paying attention to, the conclave of the four emperors to discuss major issues should not involve me. Isn’t that right, Emperor Karan?"
"Ah, this..."
Karan was embarrassed.
What Li Jing said must be true.
In his view.
Aside from the connection with Charming Spirit, Li Jing indeed did not warrant any attention.
The problem was that he did have a background.
Now that Li Jing said this, he couldn’t agree nor disagree.
Just when he didn’t know what to say, Xiang Dong spoke up.
"Brother Li Jing, the opening of the Western Immortal Realm’s spatial anchor is a rare opportunity. You don’t have to get involved in certain matters if you don’t want to, but you can stay and join the excitement. Perhaps you could pick up something good when the anchor opens."
Karan stiffened at Xiang Dong’s words.
Xiang Dong was...
Kind of shameless!
And extremely cunning!
He not only called Li Jing ’brother’ but also wanted him to stay and pick up some good things.
If Li Jing didn’t get anything after staying, wouldn’t his Western Immortal Realm have to take full responsibility?
Moreover, if any good items appeared from the spatial anchor, he would have to prioritize Li Jing.
To be honest.
This round left Karan pretty disgusted.
He had invited Xiang Dong and others to negotiate cooperation and had Li Jing be a witness so that he could reap as much benefit and monopolize the spoils after the negotiation was successful.
Everything was originally stable.
Xiang Dong’s words, however, completely ruined Karan’s plans.
This was simply heart-wrenching!
Li Jing was somewhat tempted by Xiang Dong’s words.
However, he had no intention of getting involved in this matter.
Not to mention, Charming Spirit had already warned him.
The problems involved were not as simple as they seemed on the surface, and could very likely bring various adverse effects to him or Chen Tang City.
For Xiang Dong and the other three to be brought in for cooperation, Karan would surely have offered them some benefits beforehand.
As it stands now.
The cooperation is definitely secure.
However, these four, with their cunning minds...
Even with Charming Spirit as a witness, they would definitely try to betray each other.
Being involved, Li Jing might end up being used.
Looking back.
With these four emperors working together, other venerables or even emperor-level powerhouses who originally had a chance to participate might have to stand by.
If he really got something, it would be hard to avoid being coveted.
Xiang Dong and the others knew that he had a "relationship" with Charming Spirit, but others might not.
As a cultivator of the Eleventh Realm, he looked very bully-able in their eyes.
Li Jing wouldn’t be afraid of this.
However, he had to consider the other people in Chen Tang City.
Shaking his head, Li Jing said,
"Let’s forget about joining in on the fun. I have other matters to attend to. The matter of the spatial anchor was never something I could get involved in anyway. There’s no need to stick my nose in where it doesn’t belong."
Hearing someone say that,Xiang Dong nodded but said no more.
His intention was simply to disgust Calan by using Li Jing but did not hope to really retain him for use.
Although they did not have much contact.
But from what he has witnessed so far, Li Jing looks harmless on the surface but in reality,he is a mastermind who calculates a lot.He wasn’t easy to use.
Seeing that Li Jing had no intention of staying, Calan was overjoyed, but his face showed a regretful expression.
"It is a major event in my Western Immortal Realm when the spatial anchor point is opened, but it’s a shame that the Immortal Lord Li’s intention is not here. It’s not appropriate for me to urge you to stay. If Immortal Lord Li is free in the future, you might as well come..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Jing grinned.
"Lord Calan, you don’t need to be so courteous. Once I finish my business, I will definitely come to disturb you. By the way, I’d like to see what gains you have from opening the spatial anchor point this time."
"..."
Calan.
Li Jing’s words fully demonstrated his shamelessness!
Was he eyeing him!
What kind of gains does he have?
It’s clearly to come and "share" good things!
Seeing Calan’s expression that was more uncomfortable than eating shit, Xiang Dong and others were happy but dared not respond.
Especially Shi Zixuan who had been used as a scapegoat.
After losing a piece of five-colored stone, she would never dare to talk too much relying on the fact that she was an emperor-level powerhouse and a beauty who was nicer to people.
The key is that Li Jing not only has a black heart.
Suddenly, he will take advantage of the topic to give you an upper hand.
Who could bear this?
She was like this when she started a conversation before.
Isn’t Calan the same now?
Dealing with him, silence seems to be the most appropriate choice.
Here.
Li Jing looked at Calan who was choked and Xiang Dong and others kept silent in tacit understanding and secretly laughed.
After this war.
These four will probably avoid him like a plague when they see him in the future.
He, who is in the Eleven realms, can let four emperors act like this. I’m afraid not many people would believe it if this were said.
But that’s okay.
There are too many intrigues among these four people.
Ordinary people who get involved may not even have a bone left.
He, Li Jing, has some relationship with the Charming Spirit and that makes it easier. It’s not much of a priority to talk about.
It is the most correct choice to stay away from the public strife between the four emperors.
Without thinking too much, Li Jing looked at Calan.
"Lord Calan, you mentioned earlier that you have some fire phoenix-related information. The senior Blue Phoenix is currently resting in my standalone world,I wonder if you would like to have a chat with me?"
"Ah, of course."
Calan nodded, and after thinking about it, he couldn’t help but widened his eyes.
What did Li Jing just say?
My standalone world?
Does he...
Already possess a small domain of his own!?
Not only Calan, but Shi Zixuan and Jin Ritian were also taken aback by Li Jing’s words.
Xiang Dong had known early that Li Jing possessed the Little Universe, so he was very calm and blandly said.
"Brother Li Jing has never been ordinary, you three don’t need to be too surprised. Although he is only in the Asked Heaven Realm now, when he was in the True Immortal Realm, he had the ability to kill those who entered the Holy Realm and even subdue the Shadow Demon in the Venerable Realm. If we were to fight him seriously, the four of us might not be able to resist him with our cultivation as Venerables."
Listening to Xiang Dong saying this, Calan and the others couldn’t help but re-examine Li Jing.
They originally thought he only had backing but it turns out, he was extraordinary.
He even has an independent world now, and his combat power is so outstanding.
If given time, once he achieves the Venerable status, won’t he instantly become a considerable Emperor?
Each person weighed in their minds and Calan said.
"The news about Fire Phoenix I have here is actually related to the spatial anchor point. The last time the anchor point was opened, someone from our Western Immortal Realm obtained a tail feather of the Fire Phoenix from the anchor point passage."
As he said this, he hesitated then continued,
"The tail feather was broken at the root, its color was dim and its potency was lost by more than half. It was obviously not naturally shed and it had gone through a long period of time. The Fire Phoenix may have entered the anchor point passage unknowingly many years ago and encountered an accident."
Hearing Calan say this, Li Jing frowned slightly.
The news about the Fire Phoenix would be related to the spatial anchor point, which he did not expect.
This time...
He’s probably unable to avoid it.
With Blue Phoenix’s intellectual stubbornness regarding the Fire Phoenix, she would definitely want to walk through the anchor point passage once she gets to know it.
Especially now that the anchor point passage is about to open....
He massaged his temples with his hand, Li Jing got up and said,
"Thank you, Lord Calan, for sharing this information."
After speaking, he bowed his head to the four in the room.
"Four Emperors, I will not bother you anymore to discuss your business. Goodbye for now and I look forward to meeting again."
Everyone present responded with a return salute to say goodbye.
On the surface, they agreed to look forward to the next meeting, but in reality, they did not want to meet again.
...
