"His sudden complete recovery just now must be due to taking the Immortal Ascension Pill. He wonât be able to maintain it for long, and once the effect wears off, he has no choice but death!"
"Although this is the case, weâve been away from the family for a long time. If we donât hurry back, there might truly be changes in the family." Another Profound Immortal shared his opinion.
Zhang Daotong pondered for a moment and said, "Keep pursuing for a while. If he can escape in this situation, let him live a bit longer."
Although they couldnât use Ming Yunâs head to assert dominance, the family was still more important than that.
Since the massive theft of Spiritual Objects, the Zhang Family has been targeted by many forces, exposing severe issues in their presence, so everyone wants a hefty piece of them!
Perhaps some forces are already secretly probing, just waiting to act once they get answers.
...
Meanwhile.
Ming Yun appeared, extremely disheveled, in a vast unknown chaos, reflecting on how far he had fled, murmuring, "I should have shaken them off, right?"
Actually, he wasnât very confident about that. Previously, he exhausted every means without shaking off their pursuit. Could a Chaotic Storm truly make him safe?
So he didnât stop but continued flying in a certain direction, trying to escape as far as possible before the pillâs effect faded.
...
The flowers bloom in two branches, each showcasing its beauty.
At this moment, Li Zhirui was walking in The Void with Qing Si, continuing his training journey.
However, probably due to a recent refining Gu experience that caused heavy casualties to the Chaotic Fierce Beasts, their chances of encountering Fierce Beasts were significantly reduced.
During this time, they discovered a Fierce Beast.
Moreover, its strength was quite formidable, and after a fierce battle, Li Zhirui was not its match and had to choose to flee to narrowly escape disaster.
"Alas! I didnât expect the training in The Void to become exceptionally difficult." He sighed helplessly.
Qing Si was understanding and comforted, "Jiu, isnât this a normal development? With the elevation of Realm and cultivation, training conditions also become higher and more dangerous."
"Indeed..."
So, the deeper oneâs cultivation in the Realm, the more crucial comprehension and opportunities become, whereas training and combat methods gradually lose effectiveness.
Yet, in the next instant, Li Zhirui crushed all these negative emotions before they could affect his Mental State.
At present, he didnât need to consider such matters; only a Golden Immortal would ponder them.
Time silently passed by unnoticed.
Li Zhirui and Qing Si experienced a tranquil Void Chaos journey, during which they obtained few Spiritual Objects.
However, he used this time to comprehend various Methods from the previous encounter with Profound Immortal Ming Yu, mainly to broaden his horizons and see if there were any Methods or certain Cultivation Techniques useful to him.
Regarding this matter, Li Zhiruiâs harvest was relatively abundant.
For instance, he mastered the Pill Recipe for the Immortal Ascension Pill, initially attracted by its effects.
Being able to instantly suppress all injuries and fully restore oneâs state was extremely tempting.
After all, anyone might encounter a dire life-or-death situation, and taking an Immortal Ascension Pill at that moment could save oneâs life!
As for the negative effects, he could understand them.
As an Alchemist, naturally, he was eager to master this Pill Recipe.
If the negative effects could be mitigated or entirely resolved, the value of the Immortal Ascension Pill would be unparalleled!
Therefore, Li Zhirui spent some time theoretically mastering the refining method for the Immortal Ascension Pill.
But without Spiritual Objects, even the most resourceful cook canât prepare without ingredients. He had no way to experiment with refining.
As for substituting other Spiritual Objects? It was indeed a good idea; he had considered it.
However, he only knew the names of those Spiritual Objects, knowing nothing about their effects or properties, so how could he use other Spiritual Objects as substitutes?
So he had to temporarily abandon the idea, waiting for future opportunities to gather those Spiritual Objects.
Boomâ
Suddenly, a terrifying explosion sounded ahead, jolting Li Zhirui from his thoughts.
Judging by the Spiritual Energy fluctuations, it definitely wasnât something that two Profound Immortals could cause, unless they were at the pinnacle of Profound Immortals.
"Jiu, should we go take a look?" Qing Si was somewhat eager; past benefits made him keen to reap the fishermenâs gains.
Li Zhirui seriously contemplated for a moment and shook his head, saying, "Better not. This battle looks complicated; itâs best not to get mixed up in this chaos."
"Alright." Qing Si had no choice but to agree reluctantly, as he wasnât the one deciding.
Then, the two flew in another direction.
But some things canât be avoided just by sidestepping them.
"Damn it!"
While training in another chaos region, Li Zhirui suddenly detected a Spirit Light flying from afar, carrying a person, approaching them increasingly, unable to help but curse softly.
His least wanted situation had occurred; trouble had found its way to him!
Upon seeing who it was, he grew even more annoyed.
He only did a transaction with the person, yet he got entangled again?
The Spirit Light contained none other than Ming Yun, whom he had once encountered.
Actually, from the first encounter, Li Zhirui guessed that the injuries on him werenât caused by a Chaotic Fierce Beast, but by fellow cultivators.
Thus, there was a high possibility he was being chased again, which was why Li Zhirui decided to leave, avoiding trouble.
This method was initially effective, but who could have guessed theyâd meet again with immense trouble?
"Fellow Daoist, please save me and preserve my life." Ming Yun didnât expect to encounter Li Zhirui; after the shock, came excited joy.
However, after thinking, his expression froze, turning stiff instantly. He was merely in the early stage of Profound Immortal, while Zhang Daotong and the others numbered three, and they surpassed him in both Realm and cultivation.
Thus, encountering this person didnât mean he was safe, and it might even implicate them.
Nevertheless, facing a life-threatening situation now, Ming Yun couldnât afford to worry about that much.
"Get lost!"
Li Zhirui produced a long stick, pointing at the approaching Ming Yun, unwilling to have much contact with him, hoping to directly drive him away.
"As long as Fellow Daoist is willing to save me, I am willing to share the location of the Tao Spirit Realm!"
Standing outside the attack range of the long stick, Ming Yun spoke sincerely, full of pleadings in his eyes, "The Tao Spirit Realm is a Great Thousand World at the Golden Immortal Rank, rich in cultivation resources, complete Heavenly Dao Laws, very suitable for Fellow Daoistâs training."
Li Zhirui was moved at heart; if the Tao Spirit Realm were truly as described, it would indeed be an excellent place for training.
But...
He hesitated, as he already knew that Ming Yun was being chased by three Profound Immortals, all stronger than him in Realm and cultivation.
Facing such a powerful lineup, he was simply not their match!
"Jiu, the space..." Qing Si, sensing Li Zhiruiâs wavering intent to save the person and learn the location of the Tao Spirit Realm, softly reminded him.
Indeed!
Suddenly, a Spirit Light flashed in Li Zhiruiâs mind, coming up with a perfect solution.
"If you take this Pill, I guarantee your safety."
He then offered a pure white Spirit Pill to Ming Yun.
It wasnât a healing or rejuvenating Pill; it had only one effectâinducing a long period of unconsciousness in the person taking it!
Once Ming Yun ingested the Pill and fell into deep unconsciousness, Li Zhirui could bring him into the space, preserving his life.
Meanwhile, Zhang Daotong and his companions were less than a thousand miles away; catching up would only take moments.
