Chapter 681 - 680: Decision to go, Destruction Spore Group

After contemplating in silence, Li Jing looked up.

"According to what the elder said, it would be difficult to kill those outer realm demons. Even the Heavenly Path’s divine punishment couldn’t inflict effective damage, forcing the Star Cloud Heavenly Path to seal off the Immortal Realm and the Upper Three Realms. In addition to being difficult to kill, what other peculiarities do these demons possess..."

Before he could finish, the Ancestral Dragon shook his head and sent a psychic message.

"They are not difficult to kill, they are impossible to kill."

?

Li Jing typed out a question mark.

Impossible to kill?

Well...

Truth be told, he hadn’t encountered anything he couldn’t kill yet.

Even dead objects.

With enough force, they could still be shattered.

As if knowing Li Jing’s thoughts, the Ancestral Dragon casually sent a message while he was peeling a crayfish.

"You may not believe it, but those creatures are strange. Nobody knows where they came from, and in millions of years, not a single one of them has been truly killed, including by the Star Cloud Heavenly Path. When the Star Cloud Heavenly Path found me, I also couldn’t believe that such strange things could exist in the world, but the fact is painful."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing fell silent.

This was anything but usual.

No matter how troublesome the outer realm demons were, it didn’t mean they were truly immortal.

Take Li Jing himself as an example.

He ate the Immortal Medicine, and his Primordial Spirit and body were both immortal. To put it bluntly, he was undying and indestructible.

But that didn’t mean that he could be reckless.

The Immortal Medicine only made him immune to some common lethal factors. Once the lethal factors exceeded his limit, he would still die.

Even if he also had his Body Becoming Saintly and a Symbiotic Contract with Ling Ling.

He.

Still had limitations.

In the end.

There was no such thing as true immortality in this world...

Just some demons.

How could they possibly be truly immortal?

Another crucial point.

The Star Cloud Heavenly Path, who should know everything about the Star Nebula Great World, seemed to know nothing about what kind of species those outer realm demons were.

Considering the Ancestral Dragon was equally clueless, Li Jing thought it necessary to meet those outer realm demons himself.

Without thinking much, he looked up and sent a message.

"The Immortal Realm and the Upper Three Realms of the Star Nebula Great World are sealed off. How can I get there?"

In response to the question, the Ancestral Dragon calmly sent a message.

"If you want to go, I can send you."

Before Li Jing could respond, he sent another message.

"But I have to make one thing clear. Those creatures are very cunning and highly aggressive. If you can’t deal with them once you are there, don’t try to open the spatial passage back, or to other spatial levels. Doing so could make the currently borderline controllable situation spiral out of control."

After receiving this message, Li Jing frowned slightly, then stood up.

"Please wait here for me, elder, I have a companion on Earth. Allow me to go inform her before we set off."

It was clear that Li Jing was determined to go see the outer realm demons himself. The Ancestral Dragon didn’t try to dissuade him, merely nodding to indicate he would wait.

Without wasting time, Li Jing put down his chopsticks and left.

...

After a while.

Li Jing returned to the coastal city where Li Xi and Jiang Yini were located.

And then.

Using his powerful Primordial Spirit, he located them.

Using Sky Control, Li Jing quickly arrived at a typical rundown residential area.

Given the late hour, the neighborhood was dark and quiet, with only a couple of lights still on in a few households.

Li Xi and Jiang Yini were in one of those houses.

He landed in the front yard of the residence, revealed his true form, then focused on Jiang Yini and sent a mental message to her.

"Yini, it’s me, can you come down and open the door."

Jiang Yini, receiving the message, quickly came downstairs and opened the door.

Obviously, Jiang Yini was getting along well with Li Xi, and she seemed happy.

Upon seeing Li Jing, she smiled slightly, stepped aside, and casually questioned him.

"Have you finished all the business? What’s the update on the resurgence of Spiritual Qi on Earth?"

Facing her rapid-fire questions, Li Jing pursed his lips, entered the house, activated his realm, and pointed a finger at her.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yini slightly frowned.

It was obvious.

The situation Li Jing had learned was much more complex than expected and couldn’t be summed up in a few words. He was planning to transmit his memories to her directly.

Without evading, Jiang Yini allowed Li Jing’s fingertip to touch her forehead.

With the flood of information entering her brain, she fell silent for a moment, then looked up.

"The Ancestral Dragon has put it out there for you, and you still insist on going, isn’t it inappropriate?"

Li Jing grinned at her words.

He knew Jiang Yini didn’t mean anything else, she was just worried about him going to a place from where not even the Ancestral Dragon and the Star Cloud Heavenly Path were able to return.

He reached out, pulled Jiang Yini close and smiled.

"It may sound a bit arrogant, but just because the Ancestral Dragon and the Star Cloud Heavenly Path can’t do it, doesn’t mean I can’t."

Jiang Yini was left speechless.

Was it only a bit arrogant?

Has she become too arrogant?

Let’s ignore the transformed Ancestral Dragon for now.

Even the Star Cloud Heavenly Path, which governs the entire Star Nebula Great World, is helpless; does she think she’s better than a Big World’s Heavenly Tathagata?

But, alas.

Jiang Yini must admit.

Things are always reliable with Li Jing.

In this world.

There seems to be nothing he can’t cope with...

Looking back.

Just think about how many impossibilities she’d faced—he had made them possible so easily.

Just as Jiang Yini was about to say something, she raised her eyes and saw a huge bloody mouth approaching.

Instinctively,

She wanted to dodge but,

Unfortunately, it was too late to react.

Caught off guard, she was bitten hard by Li Jing, her body stiffened in shock, and she instinctively raised her hand,

About to push him away, she suddenly realized there was nothing she needed to avoid.

They were Taoist companions already, weren’t they?

And although it was the first time Li Jing had bit her, she had also taken the initiative to bite him before.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yini changed her push into a hug around Li Jing’s neck and boldly responded in kind.

Many things between men and women,

She, a solo player, had never experienced.

She certainly understood but,

She never had the opportunity to try.

She wasn’t so brave as to try all kinds of "techniques" boldly as soon as their relationship was confirmed.

But now that the opportunity was here, it was necessary to try, right?

Faced with Jiang Yini’s bold response, Li Jing was both amused and touched.

He had originally just wanted to bite her as a farewell, but who knew that Jiang Yini would stick to him and not let go?

This.

Was honestly a bit awkward.

And her clumsy flirtation, honestly, left him speechless.

But mainly because he understood.

He knew that Jiang Yini was taking the opportunity to try things she had never dared to do before...

To be honest,

This was a little untimely.

But what could he do?

He could only go along with it...

After a long while,

Their lips parted.

Jiang Yini took a half-step back with a flushed face, licked her lips with lingering regret, and then coughed.

"Okay, you can go now, I’ll wait for you on Earth."

Facing the clear "eviction order", Li Jing grinned and said,

"Are you not afraid I won’t be able to come back? If that happens, you’ll be stranded on Earth, with its spiritual qi environment..."

Before he could finish, Jiang Yini interjected,

"No problem. If you don’t come back, I’ll just remarry and live out the rest of my life."

"..."

Li Jing.

Wow, impressive.

Jiang Yini’s thinking was dangerously harebrained!

But seriously.

Li Jing knew she didn’t mean it that way; her insistence on staying on Earth was out of wanting to give him some kind of "pressure", a concrete reason to come back.

Perhaps this was somewhat wilful, but Li Jing had no reason to object.

Nodding his head, Li Jing glanced upstairs.

"Is Xiaoxi asleep?"

"No."

Jiang Yini responded and then added,

"She has successfully started the Shangqing Longevity Method and is undergoing her first practice after initiation, running as many Zhou Tian cycles as possible to build a solid foundation."

Li Jing was taken aback at this news.

He had asked Jiang Yini to teach Li Xi a few basic cultivation moves, but he didn’t expect her to grasp it so quickly; his goal was just for her to understand how to cultivate.

The issue was,

There’s a fundamental difference between Earthlings and Blue Star people.

As a "person who’s been through it", Li Jing knew this all too well.

Blue Star...

No.

There’s no possibility for Earthlings to grasp the cultivation methods of the entire Universe Great World.

Even the Qi Sense, a trait that every Blue Star person, or even animal, possesses, could stall all Earth organisms.

The discrepancy in the concentration of spiritual qi in the environments of the two worlds results in significant differences in the basic "hardware" conditions of all living beings, humans included.

This is another story for those who’ve embarked on the path of cultivation.

Once you start cultivating.

No matter which aspect, her physical condition was continuously improving and adapting more for cultivation, striving to reach further distances.

Both Earth people and Blue Star People began their cultivation.

In the end, each would reach the same destination from different paths.

However, reaching certain stages along the cultivation path was another matter altogether.

Li Xi...

How could she just start and immediately step into the threshold?

The method she chose was not ordinary Blue Star cultivation but the Upper Three Realms’ Shangqing Longevity Method.

This.

There’s no denying it’s quite incredible...

Could it be that Li Xi is a genius?

Li Jing was perplexed.

With less than a day’s time, for a mortal without any Qi Sense to step into the Shangqing Longevity Method, if this is not the work of a natural talent, then what is?

It’s ridiculous!

Despite saying this, Li Jing wouldn’t go as far as to believe Li Xi is a natural talent who easily stepped into the Shangqing Longevity Method. Surely, she had some special association between her "hardware" and the Shangqing Longevity Method.

For instance.

She might have a body constitution that is in line with the Shangqing Longevity Method.

Looking up at the second floor again, Li Jing could indeed sense a faint Spiritual Qi from Li Xi that was almost imperceptible.

This was due to the scarcity of Spiritual Qi on Earth.

Otherwise.

Li Xi, who easily stepped into the Shangqing Longevity Method, would have already taken off. She wouldn’t need to circulate numerous Zhou Tian’s during her first breath to show her exclusive talent.

Resigning his gaze, Li Jing didn’t try to explore the exact reason why Li Xi could step into the Shangqing Longevity Method.

Mainly because it served no purpose.

What suits Li Xi wouldn’t necessarily suit other Earth people.

Li Jing also wouldn’t spare time to study these for the sake of enabling Earth people to practice various methods he had "reserved."

The thing.

He would eventually leave it to Hua Xia.

Whether someone could enter the threshold or not, it wasn’t something he would worry about.

Let them study it themselves...

Turning to look at Jiang Yini, Li Jing took out Bai Lu’s phone to give her.

"The password is XXX, you can use the money as you please."

Jiang Yini was startled upon hearing this, then raised her eyebrow.

This move of Li Jing.

Did it finally resemble a bit of Taoist Companions?

Without hesitation, Jiang Yini took the phone.

Being with Li Xi the whole day had really frustrated her...

Even with her Thirteen Realms cultivation level.

Living on Earth without money was still difficult.

What’s more lethal was.

Even though her parents were both key researchers in Hua Xia, Li Xi didn’t know the truth, and therefore she was raised as a child coming from a poor family, calculating each taxi ride meticulously.

Upon opening the phone and seeing the balance that was astronomical for ordinary people, Jiang Yini’s face lit up with joy.

She could go shopping tomorrow!

Without sparing any generosity, Jiang Yini gave someone a kiss before happily saying.

"Go and attend to your things, be careful."

...

After saying goodbye to Jiang Yini, Li Jing returned to the small town’s night market.

The Ancestral Dragon’s "efficiency" was very high.

He had left only for a while, and it had already eaten two pounds of crayfish, and was currently leisurely picking his teeth.

To be honest.

If it wasn’t for the confirmation of its true identity, Li Jing wouldn’t believe it to be the external embodiment of the ancestor of the Dragon Clan...

Over there.

When Ancestral Dragon saw Li Jing return, it directly stood up to greet him at the door.

"Is everything prepared?"

"Yes."

Li Jing nodded.

"Follow me."

With that said, the Ancestral Dragon walked out the door.

Upon seeing this, Li Jing followed.

...

Soon, the two arrived in a dark alley by the street.

Stopping deep inside the alley, the Ancestral Dragon said.

"Let’s make it clear in advance, I can only send you to the vicinity of my main body, which is currently trapped in the Upper Three Realms. The situation there is more complicated compared to the Immortal Realm."

"Understood."

Li Jing nodded.

The Immortal Realm and the Upper Three Realms were sealed by the Star Cloud Heavenly Path, so it was clear that the tunnel the Ancestral Dragon could open did not directly point to the Immortal Realm or the Upper Three Realms, but was a clever method done by its main body...

After all, it was a blockade by the Will of Heaven.

It wasn’t something that could be broken through easily.

To truly bypass it, you have to take some shortcuts...

Over here.

The Ancestral Dragon nodded in acknowledgment of the warning it had given and waved its hand to open a spatial rift.

"Go in."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing did not hesitate and stepped into the rift.

Before he could even encounter the spatial displacement, the Ancestral Dragon very cautiously closed the rift behind him.

Just at that moment.

A sharp howl rang in Li Jing’s ears.

As he experienced the spatial displacement, he saw a humanoid creature covered in fur with a health bar on its head complete the spatial displacement and crash headfirst into the closed spatial rift.

He instinctively turned around.

Li Jing couldn’t see clearly what it was, nor could he see the value of the health bar.

Then, the spatial displacement hit.

Because it was directly leading to the Upper Three Realms corresponding to the Star Nebula Great World over the Immortal Realm, this wave of spatial displacement was much longer than Li Jing’s past experiences.

After what felt like half an hour, the spatial displacement finally ended.

The next second.

The sand-covered world suddenly opened up before Li Jing’s eyes.

Everywhere he looked.

It was sand and nothing but sand.

Li Jing even felt no trace of life at this moment.

If there weren’t some random remnants of ruined walls not far away, he would have doubted whether he had come to the wrong place.

Where was the Ancestral Dragon?

Li Jing looked around and frowned.

At this moment.

A calm voice sounded in his ear.

"Above."

?

Li Jing was puzzled, then he looked up.

Then.

The grayish-yellow clouds were torn apart by a gigantic creature and a massive dragon head large enough to blot out the sun peeked out of the clouds.

Upon seeing this, Li Jing was shocked.

Compared to the Ancestral Dragon’s molt he encountered under Hua Xia, just by looking at the giant dragon head that broke out the cloud, one could infer that the Ancestral Dragon’s size had inflated up to ten times after transcendence.

Just by peeking out its head, it was enough to cast a shadow over the entirety of the Earth Realm where Li Jing stood, a place several tens of thousands of meters wide.

While Li Jing was shocked at the size of the Ancestral Dragon’s body, he suddenly furrowed his brow.

When looking up from below.

He clearly captured sight of countless black "hairs" nestled in the large crevices of the Dragon scales under the Ancestral Dragon’s chin.

Each strand of hair had an independent health bar...

Upon closer inspection.

Were they hairs?

No.

They were humanoid alien species covered in black hair, rooted under the Ancestral Dragon’s scales like parasites, their pairs of bloody red eyes staring down below.

That scene was more than just chilling.

Just how huge was the Ancestral Dragon’s body?

And those humanoid alien species were the same size as normal people.

The scales were crowded full of these alien species...

Just by a rough estimate, each scale had at least tens of thousands of these alien species.

Shit!

What the hell are these things?

Why do they look like parasites?

Out of an instinctive physiological resistance, Li Jing took half a step back.

At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon spoke.

"Ease your mind, with me here, they won’t be interested in you."

Hearing the Ancestral Dragon’s casual and somewhat hurtful words, Li Jing calmed his mind and gave a closer look at those humanoid creatures "parasitic" under the dragon scales.

He did not pay much mind about it before.

But upon closer inspection he found that...

These were not alien species in human form, but human beings!

Just that something must have happened to them, their entire bodies covered in black fur.

Li Jing squinted his eyes.

Those covered with black fur were probably the cultivators of the Upper Three Realms in the past.

They were obviously all dead, with no signs of life on them, but instead, they gave off an extremely evil smell that was enough to make people feel uneasy.

Looking back up at the sky, golden light shone from Li Jing’s eyes.

The Eye of True Vision, which could see through all things, has never disappointed him.

This time.

Was no exception.

As soon as the Eye of True Vision was activated, the feedback instantly appeared in Li Jing’s mind.

Distraction Spore Group.

Void Evil Spirit.
