The Road Ahead Was Uncertain
Unable to fly very fast due to his injuries, Lu Li did not return to the star field until the second day, escorted by his flying sword.
The pristine blue planet is right before our eyes, and a magnificent palace hovers in orbit to welcome us—it is the Immortal Palace.
[You've worked hard; it was truly a spectacular battle.]
The Immortal Palace was very respectful, but Lu Li didn't have time to reply, as he was looking at the two poles of the planet.
The two spots were emitting light like fireworks, resembling the aurora borealis. But Lu Li's divine sense quickly revealed that they were spewing out spiritual energy!
The Earth Core became unusually active, radiating extraordinary energy, and the concentration of spiritual energy increased fivefold!
"What's going on?"
Such a sudden and unexpected change in the environment is not a good thing, Lu Li frowned and asked the Immortal Palace.
The planet is "feverish," and the surge of spiritual energy is giving rise to more powerful beings who can act as "antibodies."
The Immortal Palace's explanation seemed to be a good thing.
Lu Li frowned even more deeply. "The Earth's core temperature is dropping; this action will shorten the Earth Core lifespan."
The Earth Core's core was already in a poor state due to the mischief of its rebellious offspring; forcibly stimulating it would only lead to dire consequences.
The Immortal Palace was well aware of this, and sighed, saying:
[We can hold on for now; let's get through this first.]
[More than that, I'm worried about your injuries... Is your Sea of Consciousness damaged? This is troublesome.]
Even Wu Xu couldn't see the changes inside Lu Li's spiritual realm, so the Immortal Palace was naturally completely unaware.
However, sensing that Lu Li's divine sense was unusually weak, it was clear that his Sea of Consciousness had been damaged, and this was not something that could be recovered in a day or two.
Seeing the Immortal Palace's predicament, Lu Li didn't say much and directly shared his insights with them, giving a copy to everyone who had a divine connection with him.
My mind instantly buzzed with excitement, and the Immortal Palace showered me with praise:
[No wonder you deliberately launched the "Annihilation in All Directions" technique; I was frivolous and ignorant.]
Qiu Sheng also shouted, "[What a wonderful Daoist principle! This greatly increases my chances of breaking through!]"
The Spirit Realm is not the real universe after all. Detonating Artificial Sun and confining a supernova explosion to polymerize matter will inevitably have a huge reference value for "creation".
However, Qiu Sheng does not possess an "Indestructible Will," and undergoing such experiments would only worsen her injuries, making Lu Li's insights all the more crucial.
Having received a great benefit, Qiu Sheng was unusually gentle:
[Go and rest, I'll call you when I break through.]
"Okay, I'll go first."
Lu Li was exhausted, both physically and mentally, so he quickly returned to Mount Hua.
Xiao Cha, Wan Qing, and the others were already waiting, and they surrounded her with concerned expressions.
Surrounded by the people he trusted most, Lu Li smiled and said, "I'm fine," before falling into a deep sleep with Wan Qing in his arms.
Twenty percent of them were fully conscious and were simulating and calculating the construction of the planet.
While resting, my mind is still racing, like a lucid dream.
Lu Li dreamed that he had condensed a perfect planet, exactly like Blue Star.
However, it didn't manage its distance from the sun well, getting too far away, and became an icy planet like Pluto.
If we try again, the distance is just right, but the Earth Core energy reserves are still insufficient.
Eventually, the Earth's core extinguished, and the planet became like Mars.
These scenes, seemingly dreamlike, were actually realistic simulations of consciousness, giving Lu Li a few lessons to learn.
Moreover, it took quite a while; the two rounds took a full month, and Lu Li slept for a full month as well.
Everything was fine outside, and everyone felt sorry for him and didn't come to disturb him.
With ample rest, Lu Li has fully recovered, both physically and mentally.
I opened my eyes and sat up in bed, feeling full of energy, and my core Sea of Consciousness had been restored to its original state.
"Next, we will observe Qiu Sheng's breakthrough."
This was something that had been agreed upon long ago. Lu Li thought that with another on-site observation like this, his knowledge would become even more comprehensive.
The probability of breaking through to the Yang God is... 60%.
It sounds far-fetched, but the enemy won't listen to reason.
Otherwise, wouldn't Lu Li also want to achieve a breakthrough that is steady, solid, and perfect?
Moreover, given the time constraints, a 60% probability is already quite good.
"The Yang God... must be very wondrous."
Putting aside past grievances, Lu Li was also very interested in cultivation and eager to see what lay ahead.
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Li shared all of his simulated memories with Qiu Sheng.
A person with high emotional intelligence is an ally; a person with low emotional intelligence is "in the same boat." Helping others is helping yourself.
However, Qiu Sheng was engrossed in his cultivation and did not reply.
Instead, Wan Qing came over carrying a large glass, pushed open the door, and said with a smile:
"My lord, I've made passion fruit and pear drink~"
This is a fruit drink made from two kinds of Spirit Fruit. It nourishes the spirit and replenishes qi, has a refreshing and sweet taste, and tastes wonderful.
Lu Li drank it all in one gulp, and then used his divine sense to roll the remaining residue into his mouth before stopping.
Wan Qing chuckled as she watched, "If you like it, my lord, I'll make you some more."
"Thanks, it's so good to have you here."
Lu Li kissed the girl passionately; their almost identical life energies created a warm and comforting feeling.
Wan Qing then said, "My lord, let me give you a massage; it's been so long since I've had one."
"Okay, you use your feet first, then the pomelo."
Lu Li quickly lay down on the bed, Wan Qing lightly leaped onto him, having already taken off her shoes and socks in mid-air.
Her jade feet pressed against the acupoints on his back, and a long-lost soft, bouncy sensation surged through his heart and mind, causing Lu Li to hum comfortably.
Just then, Qiu Sheng contacted him wanting to exchange ideas, but left again upon seeing the scene.
After being rolled around by the pomelo several more times, Lu Li finally couldn't take it anymore and started the dump truck, driving it into the Vermilion Bird's Nest.
The Vermilion Bird corresponds to the Fire of the South, yet its nest is damp and warm, like a spa treatment.
This is precisely the beauty of "Watery Charm), Lu Li his busy schedule, indulged in a thorough soak.
Wan Qing waited until her husband had enjoyed himself before whispering:
"Recently, my spiritual energy has been abundant, and my cultivation has greatly increased. I plan to undergo the tribulation of lightning first thing tomorrow morning."
Lu Li was slightly taken aback. He wanted to say that there was no need to take risks and that they should wait a few more years.
But the road ahead is unpredictable; cultivation and strength are the most reliable things.
How could Lu Li possibly hinder his woman's path to enlightenment? He immediately replied with a serious expression:
"Go ahead boldly, I'll protect you."
"OK."
Wan Qing smiled sweetly, her face, still radiant with the afterglow of her smile, becoming even more beautiful.
"Xiao Cha, Sister Xia, and the Shang sisters are also going through a tribulation. You can try your best to help them."
With the blessing of the mind, one can protect the physical body during Martial Arts breakthrough.
The Spirit Refinement Lightning requires the Divine Soul to undergo tempering and refinement, thus tempering the will of heaven and earth. Too much protection will be counterproductive and ineffective.
Furthermore, the Wan Qing lacked foundation and experience, making this breakthrough particularly perilous.
Unfortunately, things in this world are rarely smooth sailing. Overcoming obstacles and difficulties is the norm.
The women seemed to have made a pact, and no one bothered them. Wan Qing stayed with Lu Li all night.
Early the next morning, the two flew together to Sanmenxia and found a thunderstorm cloud.
Wan Qing took a deep breath, hugged Lu Li, and then her Divine Soul left her body and flew straight inside.
Lu Li stood still, but his divine sense was already at full power, ready to save people at any moment.
