Chapter 836 - 836 842 Grand Ambition

Chapter 836: Chapter 842: Grand Ambition Chapter 836: Chapter 842: Grand Ambition When Li Chengsheng returned to Wanxian Island, more than a year had passed.

Even though he had not used Mana during this time, his injuries still failed to heal, mainly due to a lack of high-quality Healing Pills.

The cost of Healing Pills was one reason they were hard to come by, and another was that they were rarely sold directly in the marketplace—they had to be ordered or even auctioned.

Li Chengsheng, carrying the Sunstone, dared not linger too long in the Marketplace or Immortal City even after leaving the Southern Domain.

After all, there were no real barriers between the two domains, and even if the news traveled slowly, it would eventually reach the ears of the Eastern Region Cultivators.

Gazing at Wanxian Island, which he had not returned to for many years, Li Chengsheng felt deeply stirred all at once.

“At last, we are back!” It wasn’t just Li Chengsheng, Yang and the others also felt deeply moved.

Li Chengsheng’s injury had dragged on for so many years; if they didn’t seize the time to heal it soon, it might become a chronic issue!

By then, the difficulty of curing it would increase immensely!

The group turned into streaks of light and entered Wanxian Island.

“Has another elder returned?” A clansman who happened to witness the scene muttered to himself.

Just a few days ago, he had also seen a streak of Escape Light nearby.

Perhaps due to a father-son connection, when Li Chengsheng appeared in the Spirit Realm, Li Zhirui had just finished cultivating and, hearing the disturbance, immediately allowed Li Chengsheng to enter.

“Father, I am honored to see you!” Li Chengsheng bowed.

Li Zhirui took a close look and frowned, “How did you sustain such serious injuries?”

A few days earlier, when Li Chengshuo had returned, although he too was not unscathed, his injuries were not as severe.

It was also fate that the siblings returned to the family, only three to five days apart.

And Li Chengshuo was also injured, just not as severely as Li Chengsheng.

“It’s because I have obtained a treasure, a treasure crucial for my path ahead!” Li Chengsheng said with a smile on his face, his eyes shining brightly.

Li Zhirui, after hearing this, did not ask what the treasure was, and with a point of his finger, he activated the dense Purification Principle in the Spirit Realm, enveloping Li Chengsheng like a huge cocoon.

“Now, heal well in the Spirit Realm.”

Li Zhirui turned to Yang and the other two, saying, “Your internal injuries must have been sustained then, right?”

“Yes.” In front of Li Zhirui, they dared not lie, nor was there anything to lie about.

“You’ve worked hard.”

Just from this, Li Zhirui could imagine the perilous circumstances that the four of them had faced.

Four Nascent Souls, all heavily injured—what dangers they must have encountered!

Cheng Sheng’s injuries were the most severe, but Yang and the others were not in an easy position either, yet for Li Chengsheng, they had all borne their pain silently, resulting in their injuries becoming hidden.

“You should also heal well in the Spirit Realm.”

No sooner had he spoken, the Purification Principle surged again, enveloping them.

The once monotonous Spirit Realm now had four large cocoons under that willow tree.

Li Zhirui sighed lightly and, having no desire to continue cultivating, he took out the Qilin Egg, planning to bond with the little Qilin yet to be born.

“Why is the Spiritual Energy here so thin?” A babyish voice sounded in Li Zhirui’s mind.

At the start, the little Qilin had not yet communicated with Li Zhirui, merely showing some reactions.

But as time passed, the little Qilin developed more maturely and could already communicate with him through Divine Sense.

Li Zhirui also asked when the little Qilin would be born, but he was not clear either, only saying it would be soon.

“Because this is merely a Spirit Realm established by a Fifth-Order Spirit Vein.”

In the Profound Origin Realm, a Fifth-Order Spirit Vein was already quite high-end, but in the eyes of the little Qilin, it was a very primitive place!

He could not say whether the world he was born in was the Middle Thousand Worlds or the Great Thousand World, only that the Spiritual Energy was incredibly dense, not something his current residence could compare to.

“Although the Profound Origin Realm is just a remote and backward Minor Thousand World, it won’t be long before I can ascend and leave. By then, I will definitely be able to meet your expectations.”

Li Zhirui was not comforting the little Qilin, but rather stating his own determination.

As for whether he would ascend to the Middle Thousand Worlds or directly to the Great Thousand World when the time came, Li Zhirui had not yet decided.

Both options had their pros and cons, the former had a relatively low power ceiling, making it safer for a cultivator who had just entered Void Refinement, but he would have to face an Ascension Tribulation again once he cultivated to the Great Vehicle Realm.

The latter had an extremely high power ceiling, allowing direct cultivation to the legendary Immortal Realm, which naturally was also more dangerous.

Perhaps just by going out for a walk, one could encounter a Mahayana or even an Immortal.

Of course, this so-called “it won’t be long” was definitely measured in centuries.

However, for both Li Zhirui and the little Qilin, a few hundred years did not count as a long time in their lives.

“Quickly send me back, the laws here are completely unsuitable for me.” The little Qilin didn’t care what Li Zhirui was thinking and loudly demanded to return to the space.

This statement made Li Zhirui’s eyes light up involuntarily, and he couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, “Truly worthy of being a High-Rank Spirit Beast. You haven’t even been born yet, and you can sense the existence of laws.”

The inheritance of the bloodline of High-Rank Spirit Beasts is an immeasurable treasure.

Unfortunately, the little Qilin had not yet been born. Although it could communicate through Divine Sense, it really couldn’t say much, as it wasn’t fully developed yet.

“Of course! I am a Divine Beast, the Kylin!” The pride was evident in the little Qilin’s voice.

Li Zhirui did not correct his statement. Divine Beast Kylin and Qilin Clan were two entirely different existences.

It seemed just two extra words, but the meanings were entirely different.

Divine Beast Kylin, it is said, is born with power comparable to Void Refinement, reaching the Immortal Realm when mature.

While the Qilin Clan are merely spirit beasts with the Qilin Bloodline.

The extent of the bloodline and grade differs, and so does the future potential.

Other than that, there was no difference. Upon birth, all had to start from the first order and cultivate slowly.

“Sure, you will definitely become a Divine Beast one day!” Li Zhirui said smilingly as he sent the little Qilin back into the space.

His ambition was never just to ascend and leave the Profound Origin Realm but to achieve Longevity and freedom!

Then, the spirit beasts contracted by Li Zhirui would all have to keep up, otherwise how could he fulfill his grand aspirations?

Talking about this now was too early. Li Zhirui was not someone who was overly ambitious. He would climb upwards step by step, with unwavering determination.

Creak—

A faint sound of something breaking, audible only to Li Zhirui, echoed in his mind.

It was his mental state, which had seen no progress for a long time, that had finally achieved a breakthrough due to Li Zhirui’s firm Dao Heart on this occasion!

“What an unexpected surprise,” Li Zhirui remarked emotionally. He immediately refocused his mind and seized this perfect opportunity to cultivate diligently.
