Upon obtaining the Origin Eye Pearl, Li Cunxu imdiately used it to absorb the origin of Li Shiyin’s Demon Lotus Eye.
Since the Demon Lotus Eye and the Blood Lotus Eye share the sa lineage, and additionally, Li Cunxu and Li Shiyin are close blood relatives, the compatibility of the two sets of eyes is excellent, and Li Cunxu’s process of absorbing the origin went smoothly.
"I can’t absorb anymore, my eyes are feeling a bit swollen, I need to take a break."
After six hours, the swelling and pain in the Blood Lotus Eye reduced, and Li Cunxu began a new round of absorption.
Li Cunxu estimated that it would take roughly a month at the fastest to fully absorb the origin within the Demon Lotus Eye.
Li Cunxu was very much looking forward to the complete absorption of all the origin, wondering what kind of pupil technique awakening the Blood Lotus Eye might undergo upon transforming into the Demon Lotus Eye.
"I hope I can awaken so overpowered pupil techniques like my grandfather’s two techniques [Dao Heart Seed Demon] and [Demon Lotus Reconstruction]."
...
Opening her drowsy eyes, Jiang Lingyun saw the ceiling shaking.
What’s going on?
An earthquake?
Jiang Lingyun got up and saw that the layout of this room was different from those in a hotel.
Beside the pillow, there was a note left by Li Cunxu.
The note said that Li Cunxu was in the adjacent room, 403.
Opening the door, a hallway paved with a red carpet led to the unlocked room 403, where she saw Li Cunxu playing Go with Little White Spider.
On the surface, they appeared to be playing Go.
In reality, their minds were not on the ga but engaged in a domain confrontation.
Little White Spider’s Destiny Domain completely overwheld Li Cunxu’s Spirit Domain, but this was exactly the effect Li Cunxu desired.
There’s a technique to quickly understand and condense a dominant body, which is to be continuously suppressed by another’s domain—the harsher the suppression, the better the understanding effect.
Jiang Lingyun asked, "Where are we, boss?"
Li Cunxu said, "On an icebreaker ship headed towards Ice City."
Jiang Lingyun recalled Li Cunxu’s itinerary; after the Shendu Auction, he was headed to Ice City to look for sothing.
Li Cunxu left in a hurry for two reasons.
First, sending a letter to the Saint Lotus Clan Leader risked exposing the information of his departure from the Divine Concealnt Forbidden Land, and leaving earlier could prevent the Enemy Alliance from employing so thods to block him midway and capture him.
However, that’s no longer a concern now.
The letter will take so ti to reach the Saint Lotus Clan Leader; by that ti, the King-class Icebreaker ship will have entered the Divine Cold Storm’s range.
Without traveling on a specialized King-class icebreaker ship, venturing into the Divine Cold Storm surrounding Ice City puts even a king at risk of freezing to death.
Unless it’s soone as powerful as King Jin—a Venerable King-level force—who could chase through the Divine Cold Storm.
Will King Jin brave the storm and snow to chase after Li Cunxu?
The answer is: he won’t.
King Jin has grown accustod to a comfortable life and wouldn’t co here to suffer.
Moreover, in the Enemy Alliance, King Jin is the only Venerable King; if he cos to Ice City to pursue Li Cunxu, who will balance Li Shiji? If he leaves, and Li Shiji strikes against the Enemy Alliance, who could stop him?
As for taking an icebreaker ship to pursue Li Cunxu?
There are only two icebreaker ships commuting between the Ice Capital Outpost and Ice City; Li Cunxu’s ship has already departed, and the other is returning from Ice City to the Ice Capital Outpost, which takes fifteen days.
This ans if the Enemy Alliance wants to take an icebreaker to catch up with him, they would need to wait fifteen days for the return trip and then take another fifteen days to travel to Ice City.
The second reason is the Black Jade Strange Hand; over the years, it has passed through the hands of many strong individuals, stealing a lot of good things. Those strong people do not know that their treasures have already been digested by the Black Jade Strange Hand’s masterful theft rule, leading to a misconception that the Black Jade Strange Hand holds a vast treasure trove.
Secretly, many strong individuals are eyeing the Black Jade Strange Hand, waiting for soone to unravel its mystery, either for the treasures inside or simply to reclaim what was stolen from them.
If Li Cunxu doesn’t return the Black Jade Strange Hand to the Shendu Auction within a month or two, those strong individuals will realize there is sothing wrong and co searching for it.
Therefore, it’s better to leave early; if you leave late, you get into trouble.
Li Cunxu told Jiang Lingyun, "It takes half a month for the icebreaker to travel from the Ice Capital Outpost to Ice City. If you find it boring, there are so party activities on the icebreaker; you can join if you’re interested."
Jiang Lingyun went, and returned with a heap of prizes in her arms.
Jiang Lingyun said, "Boss, soone found it boring on the ship and is hosting an arena challenge, inviting Lord-level Beast Masters from various paths to battle with him."
"Not interested."
Li Cunxu held a black piece, intently staring at the Go board.
"I haven’t even ntioned the reward set by the Arena Master."
"What reward?"
"The opportunity to observe the Enlightennt Realm Stone for three days."
"Oh, where?"
Li Cunxu put down the Go piece and asked.
In terms of helping to understand domains, the Enlightennt Realm Stone is hundreds of tis better than Lord Crystals.
Such a treasure, without a Venerable King-level father as a backer, is likely to be snatched, and the fact that the other side dares to openly take it out suggests a super strong backer.
The Enlightennt Realm Stone is very effective for understanding domains, but it does have certain limitations. Otherwise, to cultivate talent, the Alliance would definitely center around the Enlightennt Realm Stone and set up an auxiliary Enlightennt Domain Hall open twenty-four hours.
Observing the Enlightennt Realm Stone to understand domains requires consuming the spiritual light on it, which takes a month to accumulate, and after using the spiritual light, it only lasts a day.
"The Blood Lotus Fla Flood Dragon and the Fla White Horse are both stuck on this step of understanding the domain. If the Enlightennt Realm Stone can be obtained, it might help them comprehend the domain and break through to the Lord level."
Li Cunxu thought to himself.
"I’ll take you there, as I also want to see your battle."
Jiang Lingyun took Li Cunxu to the arena.
Upon reaching the arena, Li Cunxu saw a Flaming Simurgh covered in flas, blasting a devastating fla tornado that knocked an Ice Stone Giant Elephant flying.
"When will a worthy opponent finally erge?"
Arena Master Yan Yucheng sighed.
He was a battle-maniac who loved engaging in combat. After several days on the icebreaker, his combat-hungry bones were nearly rusting. Therefore, he set up an arena to loosen up his muscles and bones.
But no opponent had stepped up all afternoon.
After stopping and questioning a Lord Beast Master, it beca clear that it was due to a lack of rewards.
Upon reaching the Lord level, if a pet beast is injured once, the dical expenses are astronomical, so without sufficient rewards, no one is willing to battle.
Hence, he took out the most valuable thing on him, the Enlightennt Realm Stone, using it as a three-day observation victory condition to entice those Lord Beast Masters into sparring with him.
But he wasn’t happy; the opponent quality was too poor, and he won in just a few rounds, making it quite aningless.
"You said the reward of observing the Enlightennt Realm Stone for three days is genuine?" Li Cunxu asked.
Yan Yucheng said, "Of course it’s genuine. I, Yan Yucheng, keep my word."
"But words are not enough."
"A contractual statent can be established."
"Fine, establish it!"
Yan Yucheng was montarily stunned as he watched Li Cunxu take the stage.
"Why not establish it?"
Seeing Yan Yucheng unmoving, Li Cunxu slightly frowned, thinking he might have changed his mind.
