The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 188 - 192: The Happy Life of the Second-Generation Rich (3)
Chapter 188: Chapter 192: The Happy Life of the Second-Generation Rich (3)
Having sensed something, the strand of Rule Power that had just stealthily penetrated burst out of Su Li’s head and shot toward the eye in the sky. A reluctant roar was heard, and then the whole space slowly returned to calm.
But upon closer inspection, the flower was still the same flower, and the water was still the same body of water. It was just that it seemed all the Spiritual Energy had been drained, leaving not a trace of liveliness.
It was like a pool of stagnant water; the lush landscape painting had been veiled with a layer of mist, full of obscurity.
All of this was unknown to Su Li; she only knew that this was her chance, and it might even be crucial for what was to come.
Her reference to the future did not only pertain to the original owner’s cultivation here but also to her continuous journey through realities until she discovered that truth which she had forgotten.
Once she entered meditation, it lasted for five hundred years.
Fifty years into her meditation, Su Li ascended from Nascent Soul to the Out-of-Body Stage.
One hundred and fifty years into her meditation, she advanced from Out-of-Body Stage to Divine Separation.
Three hundred years into her meditation, she reached Unification.
After five hundred years, she faced Tribulation Crossing.
As the five hundred years just passed, the last character on the golden page also revealed itself in Su Li’s Conscious Sea.
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth; the Five Elements finally emerged. Su Li’s Conscious Sea radiated a magnificent light, and when it finally settled down, the golden page had vanished. Instead, a mass of something that looked like water but wasn’t and seemed like matter yet wasn’t, hung high in her Conscious Sea.
Upon a focused investigation, that was the very Chaos Su Li was most familiar with.
Chaos, capable of containing all things.
As the Rule Power manifested, Su Li had just ascended to the Tribulation Crossing cultivation and once again started to shake, climbing incessantly towards the Mahayana Realm, advancing rapidly and boldly.
Barriers were broken, Mahayana was attained.
When Su Li gradually awoke from her meditation, her entire presence was astonishing, and everything around her was shattered by the might emanating from within. Within a distance of one li(0.5 kilometers) around her, a vacuum zone had formed.
Her slowly opening eyes were such that those who looked into them felt as if their own souls were trembling.
As Su Li just woke up, her eyes still carried a trace of the unconstrained power of rules.
After a while, this finally calmed down completely, with all her imposing aura drawn back within her, without leaking out the slightest bit. At a rough glance, she seemed to stand before them like a mortal without a Spirit Root.
Returning to the truth, the realm of great achievement.
Su Li blinked once, then blinked again.
If she remembered correctly, before she entered meditation, this place was clearly a beautiful landscape with clear mountains and waters. Now, how had it turned into a barren wasteland?
Not to mention flowers and trees, there wasn’t even a single weed to be seen—a truly barren land.
Not far from her, a huge eye dangled in the air, appearing dead and ashen.
Her Divine Sense swept over it, and this thing that seemed to be an unidentified living being had not the slightest breath of life left, obviously having been dead for a long time.
Without thinking, this object must be the core of the grand Illusion Array. For some unknown reason, it had directly perished, which conveniently benefited her by saving the effort of searching.
Su Li herself did not know that she was responsible for this.
She used her spiritual power to crush the huge eyeball in the sky and, in the next second, her location crumbled, like a scroll of painting being ripped apart bit by bit by a pair of invisible, giant hands.
In the next second, she reappeared in the spot where she had initially vanished.
Miscalculating the time, Su Li had originally estimated she would only meditate for one year, but once she began, she became deeply immersed.
Two years had already passed in the outside world since she had started, yet in Su Li’s experience, she had genuinely cultivated for five hundred years. Thinking back on her memories, there was still some sense of haziness.
"Roar..." A fierce roar came.
Sensing that its territory was invaded by an aura that made beasts tremble, the lord of this land, a fierce beast, roared unwillingly, yet dared not show its face.
In Su Li’s hand appeared the heavy sword that had once caused her embarrassment. Now, not to mention swinging it, even making a few flourishes with the sword was no trouble at all.
Swinging the heavy sword as if it were nothing, Su Li struck towards the source of the sound she had just heard.
The obstructing boulders and the lush jungle in front of her were all cleaved by the sword qi of this single strike, opening a path.
A sword light that shot up to the sky aimed straight at the location of the fierce beast. Its routes of escape in all directions were locked. In an encounter, the fierce beast that had previously cornered Su Li into a difficult situation was annihilated by this one sword, without leaving even a trace of residue.
The divine souls locked in its blood mist were also allowed to find release. The formerly ferocious and pained expressions one by one returned to a state of calm.
Floating in mid-air, they bowed in the direction of Su Li from a distance, then turned and dissipated into the air, entering the next cycle of reincarnation.
But there was one divine soul that was reluctant to dissipate for a long time, namely that of the middle-aged scholar in attire who had achieved the Nascent Soul cultivation level.
"Do you have something to request?"
The divine soul was surprised that Su Li would speak and ask, hesitating for a while before anxiously performing a grand bow towards Su Li, "Ancestor..."
"Quit dawdling. Out with it, I’m in a hurry."
Seeing impatience on Su Li’s face, the middle-aged scholar immediately prostrated in alarm, "Ancestor, I..."
"If you don’t speak, I’m leaving."
The middle-aged scholar apparently didn’t expect that such a Great Power would be so easy to talk to, and, still not daring to believe it, saw Su Li truly turn to leave. He mustered his courage and stammeringly said, "I am Yan Chengyu, a Guardian Elder of the Immortal Sword Sect. As my lifespan was nearing its end, I went out in search of an opportunity but unfortunately perished here."
As the middle-aged scholar spoke, he showed a bitter expression, "I have a daughter named Lingxi. Her talent is not particularly good, and it was only with the aid of elixir pills that she managed to cultivate to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment."
"When I was around, I protected her. Her temperament is a bit willful, but she has not lost a child’s innocent heart. I... I really cannot rest easy about my daughter."
Having spoken his mind, the middle-aged scholar no longer worried that the next second the Great Power in front of him would, offended by his impertinence, disperse his divine soul with a wave of the hand, depriving him of even the chance for reincarnation.
His voice trembling, he still persisted, "In my cave-dwelling lies my entire collection, within which there is a Blood Lotus that I obtained by fortunate coincidence. I have never had the heart to use it, and now I wish to offer this Blood Lotus to the Ancestor, hoping only that you might look out for my child when she faces difficulties..."
The middle-aged scholar bowed lower and lower, and after speaking, he braced himself for the Great Power’s thunderous rage.
The Blood Lotus is indeed valuable, but only to those Cultivators below the Out-of-Body Stage. Although he could not discern the full extent of the Great Power before him, he felt certain that the individual was beyond the Out-of-Body Stage, perhaps already at Divine Separation, or even Unification.
On the Returning Ruins Continent where they resided, the highest known cultivation level was that of the Supreme Elder of Kunlun Mountain, in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.
Therefore, if Lingxi could be looked after by a casual word from this Great Power, she would at the very least have some peace for a time.
Only, this Blood Lotus...
Yan Chengyu felt even more ashamed, but what if the other party agreed...
In the past, he would never dare to make such a request to a Great Power, but after all, it was his sole remaining obsession.
After a long silence, Yan Chengyu thought he would not receive an answer.
But then...
"Perhaps."
