Chapter 568: 568. The future is unpredictable.
Injured, Lu Li couldn’t fly too fast, and it was not until the second day that he returned to the Star Domain, escorted by the Flying Sword.
The azure and pure Blue Star was within eyesight, and there hung a splendid palace on its orbit to welco him, the very Immortal Palace.
“You’ve worked hard; it truly was a spectacular battle,”
The Immortal Palace spoke with great respect, but Lu Li didn’t bother to reply, his gaze fixed on the poles of the planet.
There, lights burst forth like fireworks, resembling the aurora. But with a sweep of his Divine Thought, Lu Li knew that what was erupting was all Spirit chanism!
The Earth Core beca unusually active, radiating energy beyond the norm, the concentration of Spirit chanism skyrocketing by fivefold!
“What’s going on?”
Such a sudden and drastic environntal change was not a good sign, and Lu Li frowned as he questioned the Immortal Palace.
“The planet has ‘fever’, and the surge of Spirit chanism is promoting the birth of more strong ones as ‘antibodies’,”
The Immortal Palace tried to explain as if it were a positive event.
But Lu Li’s frown deepened, “The core’s temperature is dropping; this act will deplete the lifespan of the Earth Core.”
The core was already in a poor state due to the ddling of the rebellious sons, and forcing it might lead to a grim outco.
The Immortal Palace was well aware of this and heaved a sigh,
“We can hold on for now, let’s brace this calamity first,”
“Besides, I’m more worried about your injury… Is it the Sea of Consciousness that’s damaged? This will be difficult.”
Even Wu Xu could not glimpse into the changes within Lu Li’s Spirit Realm, so naturally, the Immortal Palace knew nothing.
It only sensed that Lu Li’s Divine Thought was unusually weak, a clear sign that the Sea of Consciousness was wounded, which was not sothing that could be recovered in a day or two.
Seeing the Immortal Palace worry, Lu Li didn’t say much and directly shared his insights, giving a portion to anyone linked with his Divine Thought.
The Immortal Palace praised as thoughts swirled in Lu Li’s mind,
“No wonder You deliberately triggered ‘Ten Directions Annihilation’; I was naive and disrespectful.”
Qiu Sheng also shouted, “What a natural way of Dao and techniques! This greatly increases my chances of breakthrough!”
The Spirit Realm, after all, was not the real universe. Detonating an Artificial Sun and constraining a Supernova Explosion to aggregate matter surely had significant reference value for “Creation”.
As Qiu Sheng lacked Immortal Will, conducting such an experint would only result in more severe injuries, and Lu Li’s comprehension beca crucial.
Having gained a great benefit, Qiu Sheng was uncharacteristically gentle,
“You should go and rest now; I will call you when I’m about to make my breakthrough.”
“Alright, I’m off.”
Lu Li, both mind and body worn out, truly needed rest, and so he promptly returned to Hua Mountain.
Xiao Cha, Wanqing, and the others had been waiting, surrounding him with concerned expressions.
Wrapped in the embrace of those he trusted most, Lu Li smiled and said, “I’m fine,” and then, holding Wanqing close, fell into a deep sleep.
With twenty percent of his Consciousness awake, he simulated the construction of a planet.
——————
Such rest, with his mind still pondering matters, was like a lucid dream.
Lu Li dread that he had condensed a perfect planet, identical to Blue Star.
But he had not managed the distance from the Sun well; it was too far, becoming a crystalline planet like Pluto.
Trying again, the distance turned out to be just right, but there was not enough energy accumulated in the core.
Eventually, the core extinguished, and the planet turned into one like Mars.
These scenes, which seed like dreams, were in fact real simulations conducted by his Consciousness, giving Lu Li valuable experience and lessons.
And these simulations were not brief; two cycles took up a month, and Lu Li slept for a full month.
All was calm outside, and his companions, concerned for him, had not disturbed his slumber.
With ample ti to recuperate, Lu Li fully recovered both physically and ntally.
Opening his eyes to sit up from the bed, he felt full of Yuan, and his core, the Sea of Consciousness, was restored as before.
“Next up is to observe Qiu Sheng’s advancent.”
This had already been agreed upon beforehand. Lu Li calculated that with one more opportunity to observe such a scene, his accumulation would beco even more complete.
The probability of breaking through to the Yang God stage would then be… sixty percent.
It might not sound reliable, but enemies won’t reason with you.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t Lu Li wish for a steady and perfect breakthrough?
And considering the rushed circumstances, having a sixty percent chance was already quite good.
“Yang God… must be really amazing.”
Setting aside the resentnt and entanglent, Lu Li was also very interested in cultivation and quite eager to see the scenery beyond.
He indulged in a mont’s reverie, then shared all the mories he had simulated with Qiu Sheng.
Among comrades with high emotional intelligence, they’re allies; with low emotional intelligence, they’re “grasshoppers on the sa rope” — helping others is helping oneself.
However, Qiu Sheng, deeply engrossed in intense cultivation, did not respond.
Instead, it was Wanqing who ca over with a large glass cup, pushing the door open with a smile and saying,
“Husband, I’ve brewed a passion fruit and snow pear drink~”
This was a drink made from boiling two kinds of spirit fruits, nourishing the spirit and replenishing qi, fragrant and pure, with an excellent flavor.
Lu Li drank it all in one breath and even used his Divine Thought to sweep the residue into his mouth before stopping.
Wanqing laughed cheerily, “Seeing Husband enjoy it makes happy. I’ll make more for you.”
“Thanks, it’s great having you here.”
Lu Li planted a firm kiss on the girl, the nearly identical life magnetism fields making him feel extra warm.
Wanqing then said, “Husband, let give you a massage, it’s been a while.”
“Sure, use your feet first, then the polo.”
Lu Li promptly lay down on the bed, and Wanqing lightly leaped onto his back, having already slipped off her shoes and socks mid-air.
Her jade feet pressed on his back’s acupoints, the long-missed sensation of soft and springy comfort surging to his head. Lu Li humd with pleasure.
Just then, Qiu Sheng made contact, hoping to exchange insights, but upon seeing this scene, he left again.
After being rolled over by the polo several tis, Lu Li could not resist any longer and launched his “mud truck” into the Vermilion Bird’s nest.
The Vermilion Bird corresponds to the southern Li Fire, yet its nest was damp and warm, like undergoing hydrotherapy.
This was the magic of “Shui’er i”; amidst the hecticness, Lu Li took the ti to thoroughly imrse himself in it.
Wanqing waited until her husband was fully satisfied before whispering,
“The Spirit chanism is richly dense lately, and my cultivation has greatly increased. I’m planning to face the Heavenly Tribulation tomorrow morning.”
Lu Li was montarily stunned, his initial thought was that there was no need for risk, better to wait a few more years.
But the road ahead was unpredictable, and cultivation and strength were the most reliable.
How could Lu Li hold back his own woman from her path? He imdiately responded earnestly,
“Go boldly, I’ll protect you.”
“Mhm.”
Wanqing smiled sweetly, her cheeks still radiant from the lingering affection, looking even more delicate:
“Xiao Cha, Sister Xia, and the Shang Family sisters are all going to undergo tribulation too. You can use the Heart Image to help them.”
The Heart Image blessing could protect the physical body during martial arts breakthroughs.
However, the Refining God Thunder Tribulation was ant for the Divine Soul to withstand forging and assimilate the Will of Heaven and Earth. Overprotection could be counterproductive and not yield the desired effect.
Further, Wanqing lacked foundation and accumulation, making this breakthrough particularly perilous.
There was no helping it; few things in this world went smoothly. Braving the thorns and overcoming nurous challenges was the norm.
It seed like the won had all agreed beforehand, and no one ca to disturb them. Wanqing spent the entire night with Lu Li.
Early the next day, the two flew together to the Sannxia area, finding a mass of thunderstorm clouds.
Wanqing took a deep breath, hugged Lu Li, then her Divine Soul Erged and flew straight into it.
Lu Li stood still on the ground, but his Divine Thought was fully powered and on standby, ready to rescue her at any mont.
