Throughout his journey, Ye Li made no attempt to conceal his presence; on the contrary, he made a rather ostentatious display.
Therefore, the suddenly appearing, Elegant Light Projection quickly realized his true level of cultivation.
However, he didn't appear very calm; even his face twitched slightly.
According to the wishes of the refined young man before his death.
Those who were attracted to this place by the [Creation Method] in later generations were only the juniors from the Mountain Sea Realm.
The worst-case scenario is that Half-step Sun-Moon Realm cultivator arrives, having not yet condensed a Dharma Form but merely broken through that barrier.
Before his soul, which had preserved most of its life force, it remained as fragile as a plaything.
There is a very obvious difference between Half-step Great Power who has Dharma Form and Dharma Form.
As long as the plan goes smoothly.
The refined man was more than 70% confident that, with his powerful life force, he could live a second life in the body of the person exploring the Cave Abode.
However, the current situation is beyond his expectations.
"..."
The young Daoist before him possessed a vast and boundless aura of blood and energy, suggesting he was a future powerhouse who had pursued a path of physical cultivation. Even the slightest emanation of his power was enough to make him tremble with fear.
He was clearly an extremely powerful Half-step Great Power.
Let alone without the aid of a physical body, even if he had the aid of a physical body in life, he wouldn't dare say he was confident he could defeat his opponent.
What kind of nonsense is this, "possessing a body"?
The refined-looking man wanted to crush his teeth in frustration; his opponent's strength far exceeded his expectations!
But... it's too early to give up now.
Focusing on the tempering of flesh and blood might mean that the Daoist is not as proficient in cultivating the Spiritual Platform as martial artists of the same level.
Thinking of this...
The refined man's eyes brightened slightly, as if he saw hope reappear before him.
It should be noted that, compared to his somewhat weak physical body, his spiritual cultivation is among the best of martial artists of the same level.
If Ye Li's cultivation of the Spiritual Platform World is indeed not as proficient as he thought.
So, all I need to do is trick him into swallowing this Emerald Heart that I've spent countless hours refining.
Then, relying on his exceptionally powerful Spiritual Body, he shook the Spiritual Platform between his brows...
The refined man's heart gradually warmed; he increasingly felt that he might still have a chance to complete the plans he made before his death!
Let's do it!
He quickly regained his senses, and a gentle smile appeared on his illusory face:
"Sir, now that you have already condensed your Dharma Form, why do you still come to my Cave Abode seeking opportunities?"
Since things have come to this point, it's all or nothing; let's just take a gamble.
"Since we're already here, let's just take a look around."
Ye Li put away the panel, his tone casual.
The events in this area need time to unfold, and there is still some room for maneuver before that happens.
At this moment, he was actually a little anxious.
But considering the other party's Killing Intent,
After listening to the last words of this remnant soul, there wasn't much of a problem.
"Just browsing...?"
The refined-looking man's eyes flickered, as if he were pondering something, before he smiled and said, "By the way, I wonder which faction of the [Two Sects Four Halls] you belong to?"
"Neither, just a rogue cultivator."
"A rogue cultivator?"
The refined-looking man stood there, stunned, thinking the other person was telling a lame joke. He had never seen a rogue cultivator who could reach the Half-step Sun-Moon Realm in his previous life. He couldn't help but ask, "Didn't any of the powerful figures from the [Two Sects Four Halls] try to win you over?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Li shook his head again. "No."
Many powerful forces are now intent on killing him, so they would never consider recruiting him.
It's okay, though.
They didn't actively recruit Ye Li, but Ye Li planned to recruit them.
That's really strange.
The refined-looking man clicked his tongue in amazement. "Logically speaking, at our level, it should be them who are getting restless, let alone you who are just a rogue cultivator."
"The combat power of Half-step Great Power is extremely valuable. Even one more such power would be a huge boost to the entire force."
"Moreover, the situation in the Western Region is complex and volatile, with constant open and covert struggles and frequent clashes between large and small forces. Even those of us who exist are not without our taboos."
Having a powerful backer isn't necessarily a bad thing.
At this point, the illusory figure sighed, "Back then, I merely offended a Female Immortal from the Misty Immortal Sect, yet I directly provoked a deadly disaster. That Female Immortal, under the guise of upholding righteousness, severely injured me on this Tianchi Sea."
"The reason for this is simply that I slightly infringed upon the interests of the [Two Sects Four Halls], and that Female Immortal flew into a rage, openly declaring that she would hunt me down."
The refined-looking man stood with his hands behind his back, a hint of sadness in his eyes as he reminisced about the past. He said softly, "Even the Misty Immortal Sect, one of the two major sects, is a bit too domineering."
"Fellow Daoist, do you think I deserve to die?"
As he finished speaking, he naturally turned his head to look at Ye Li, waiting for Ye Li to agree with him before offering his Emerald Heart for him to swallow.
The heart contains a vast amount of pure energy; the refined man couldn't believe the other woman wasn't moved.
Once you're moved, everything becomes easier.
However, the next moment...
His entire smile froze on his face.
Alas!
A fierce wind surged throughout the main hall, and a dazzling golden line appeared between the other person's brows!
In an instant, a piece of dazzling Divine Iron shot out with a whoosh, its fierce attack instantly enveloping the refined man's Spiritual Body!
Under the astonished gaze of the refined man.
A subtle smile appeared on the young Daoist's fair and handsome face.
"Yes, you can die."
As he spoke, as if he were genuinely answering the refined man's question, Ye Li casually grasped the immortal Immortal Sword formed from the dazzling Divine Iron, which suddenly unleashed an incomparably terrifying sharpness!
"No..."
The refined-looking man's eyes widened, and his entire Spiritual Body trembled violently.
For him, who was attached to this emerald green heart, it would be simple to completely remove this Spiritual Body.
That means completely destroying this extremely valuable heart.
But for any martial artist, this is absolutely unacceptable, which is why the refined man dared to appear so openly and then chat with the Daoist as a friend.
As it turned out, the other party completely missed the mark, even answering his questions in an extremely tricky way. Moreover, he was asking if he deserved to die, not whether the other party wanted to kill him!
"Fellow Daoist! Did you mishear something?!"
Despite his horrified and shocked words, the refined man did not sit idly by and await his fate.
He directly used all his Divine Power, and amidst the tremors of the void, a powerful spiritual storm was already blasting towards the opponent's brow and Spiritual Platform!
As long as he can shake the Spiritual Platform of his brow and heart, he still has a chance!
However, this beautiful idea was shattered the moment the opponent made their move.
The Purple-robed youth's sword moved like a dragon, without any fancy sword moves. His sharp Sword Qi directly shattered the attacking Divine Power, splitting his Spiritual Body and his Emerald Heart in two!
Boom!!
In an instant, the entire main hall was shattered, and countless cracks suddenly appeared on the magnificent and mysterious Cave Abode!
In his final moments before losing consciousness, the refined man's eyes were bloodshot.
He saw the blazing flames floating beside the other person grow larger in the wind, swallowing the emerald green heart that had been split in two, instantly transforming it into the purest life energy!
