Hequ Mountain Heavenly Palace.
Li Qingyun's Shangqing Body sat cross-legged in the hall. Suddenly, a faint glimmer flashed in his hand, and the bronze fragment appeared out of thin air.
Holding the item, he sighed softly. "Opportunity lies before me, yet this body of mine still has no choice but to hold its realm in check. Unless the unknown Blackwater contamination within me is removed, I cannot recklessly break through into the Vacuum Realm!"
He suppressed the impulse and silently issued an edict with a movement of his divine sense.
"Come!"
The Ring Shadow Qi Root in the void far from Hequ Mountain immediately surged and rolled like dim clouds, slowly sweeping toward Hequ Mountain.
Li Qingyun had no idea how much of the Ring Shadow Qi Root—meaning the source matter of this Land of the Universe—he had devoured and refined. At the very least, it had been a trillion.
That was an astonishing figure!
Fortunately, the Ring Shadow Qi Root seemed inexhaustible.
Especially over the past year or two, Li Qingyun had discovered that after he consumed all the "Qi Roots" around Hequ Mountain, even more Ring Shadow Qi Root would inevitably gush forth nearby the following day.
It was as though even this Land of the Universe was secretly helping him, encouraging him to follow the path of pure wildness.
"This body of mine truly is favored by the cosmos. I really do have a little of the bearing of a Child of the Cosmos..."

This place had become a "treasure land" fanatically sought after
