The old rule: let the clone go down to explore first.
His mind delved into the System, summoning a clone.
"There’s treasure below, go and check it out."
Li Xiaobai said dryly.
"I’m not going; it’s dangerous down there."
The clone replied honestly.
"Precisely because it’s dangerous I’m sending you down first; you die first, I’ll follow shortly."
Li Xiaobai kicked the clone down.
The clone’s job was exploration, sharing the sa system and having a tenth of his cultivation level, not so easy to die.
A mont later, images from the clone appeared in his mind.
Below was a swampy region, dark green, with lush vegetation in vibrant colors, obviously highly toxic, yet strangely absent of corpses, exuding an eerie aura.
"What’s happening?"
Li Xiaobai asked.
"It’s safe, hurry down, good brothers strike it rich together."
The clone said.
"Good brother, you strike it rich first, I’ll join you shortly."
Li Xiaobai nodded, the clone inherited all his abilities, including the special constitution Poison Immortal Body, immune to all toxins.
Further exploration was needed.
"It doesn’t look like a tomb. With this beautiful scenery filled with birds and flowers, it’s quite unique."
The clone continued inward, mumbling.
Mumbled until there was silence.
The clone disappeared from the System panel.
The guy suddenly vanished below; indeed, there was great terror within this tomb.
"Let’s go down and take a look."
Li Xiaobai leaped into the abyss, falling for several minutes before crashing to the ground, creating a deep pit.
[Attribute Point 100,000...]
The air was filled with an intoxicating fragrance.
The scenery was shockingly beautiful, the clone’s vision was just the tip of the iceberg, behind was a tomb filled with various colorful flowers and trees, in front lay a crystal-clear lake, like a gem.
"The most alluring places are often the most dangerous; this place is so uncanny, without even a single skeleton, the only explanation is that the toxins are potent enough to erode all remains, thus displaying such a striking view."
Li Xiaobai murmured to himself.
A thought triggered the expansion of the Extre Evil Pure Land, absorbing the erald lake.
Anything on the sa level as the Extre Evil Pure Land can be absorbed.
"Whizz!"
The air suddenly fluctuated, followed by a rapid increase in System panel values.
[Attribute Point 1,000,000...]
[Attribute Point 1,000,000...]
[Attribute Point 1,000,000...]
Li Xiaobai saw nothing, just felt the space in front twist, then sothing hit him.
The clone probably disappeared here.
"Snap!"
That strange air fluctuation ca again, Li Xiaobai felt sothing trip him, causing him to fall.
[Attribute Point 1,000,000...]
Still an invisible attack, but seemingly not very damaging.
He squinted and looked around, unable to discern the source of the attack.
"Is that it?"
"Trying to impede my advance?"
Li Xiaobai took off his shirt, lay on the ground, and crawled forward in an extrely bizarre posture.
With Explosive Clothing Divine Skill and Iron Mountain Lean, four tis defensive power upon him, ignoring all attacks.
The invisible attacks continued, and their frequency increased severely; as he progressed further, the damage from the attacks grew.
Monts later, he finally saw the origin of the invisible assault.
It was a tree, having exited the area of vivid vegetation, he saw a vast barren land, amidst it stood a sloping willow tree.
The willow branches swayed in the wind, each swing created countless wind blades, sweeping in all directions; the invisible attack he suffered was caused by these.
This desolate area was likely ford due to this.
"This tree has sothing, I’m taking it."
Li Xiaobai employed the sa tactics, expanding Extre Evil Pure Land to capture the tree.
But this ti, no reaction; the tree remained motionless, the previously successful Extre Evil Pure Land now failed.
This ant the willow tree was on the sa level as the Lake of Resentful Spirits within the Extre Evil Pure Land, or even higher.
Li Xiaobai was about five hundred steps from the willow tree, the System panel showed his Attribute Points had soared to a terrifying twenty million.
This was likely the limit he could handle, advancing further would cause his body to collapse.
"How co there’s a shoe behind that tree?"
Li Xiaobai scrutinized the tree, noticing a boot under its shade.
Black, muddy, filthy, clearly discarded here years ago.
"Let’s go and take a look."
He summoned several Great Resentnt Species with advanced cultivation levels, crawling forward.
When they were within two hundred steps of the willow tree, a wind blade swept through, dismbering the Great Resentnt Species.
"High cultivation can’t approach, I’ll need to use a sturdy treasure to push forward."
Li Xiaobai pondered, taking out the old man encased in purple crystal, incredibly hard; all previous fractures were self-inflicted by the old man inside, external pressure couldn’t damage the purple crystal.
Hiding behind the purple crystal, Li Xiaobai pushed forward.
The result was better than expected; a wind blade struck the purple crystal, provoking the old man inside repeatedly, prompting his eyes, previously shut, to open, extinguishing all wind blades around.
Simultaneously, the upper half of the willow tree was obliterated, only the part rooted to the ground remained.
Everything happened silently.
"Crack."
The crack pattern on the purple crystal’s surface expanded significantly; every ti the old man opened his eyes, the crystal fractured further.
Li Xiaobai suspected if he provoked the old man a few more tis, the crystal might shatter completely, unleashing a terrible catastrophe.
"Don’t be offended, esteed elder, I’ve indeed troubled you recently, I owe you a soak next ti."
Li Xiaobai bowed and saluted, then stored the old man encased in the crystal into the Extre Evil Pure Land.
He turned to look at the willow tree, but then paused in astonishnt.
The half tree trunk revealed part of a human head, only the forehead was visible, but it was definitely a human head.
There was a person hidden within the willow tree!
Li Xiaobai slowly approached the willow tree, refraining from examining the person hastily; he circled the trunk twice to ensure safety before peering inside.
His scalp prickled at what he saw.
The tree trunk was hollow, with galaxies swirling inside, countless stars revolved around, within stood a man, dressed in white, with a polished face, gazing upward.
Their gazes t, Li Xiaobai felt a chill along his spine.
The face was all too familiar.
"Are you... Fourth Brother?"
