The Four Divine Trees are indispensable; otherwise, the barrier of Rakshasa Street will be damaged, causing the human world, the Spirit Domain, and Rakshasa Street to become connected, resulting in great trouble.
After listening to Golden Bell's words, everyone discussed the matter of repairing the Spirit Locust Tree and finally decided to go to find the Dragon Peach Tree the next day.
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone drifted off to sleep, while Xu Long used the barrier to probe his mental power into the Spirit Domain.
Using the Four Divine Trees and the Xihe Divine Pearl, the Spirit Controller separated the Spirit Domain from the human realm, and the Rakshasa Street served as a buffer zone between the two.
The Spirit Domain is the territory of the Spirit Controller. They are responsible for the operation of the entire Spirit Domain and decide which undead are qualified to enter Spirit Domain.
To put it bluntly, it's a monopoly!
It's not just about rights, but also about force—a two-way monopoly.
When Xu Long probed the Spirit Domain with his mental power, he immediately noticed the difference from Rakshasa Street.
The spiritual energy was incredibly dense, at least ten times that of Rakshasa Street.
Living in such a place, even without knowing how to cultivate, one's strength will gradually increase.
"No wonder Cao Yanbing only has the cultivation level of the Body Integration Stage, while the highest martial power in this world can reach the Tribulation Transcendence Limit. With such abundant spiritual energy, even someone with poor aptitude can break through quickly."
Xu Long sighed inwardly, suspecting that those Spirit Controller might still possess the means to instantly kill those at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.
Having controlled the Spirit Domain for so many years and possessing such astonishing resources, there must be many good things among them.
The telekinetic energy continued to penetrate deeper, and soon an island was discovered.
After passing through a barrier, Xu Long discovered that the concentration of spiritual energy had doubled again.
Furthermore, the closer you get to the center, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy becomes. Near the main hall at the very center, the spiritual energy even shows signs of liquefaction.
"Who dares to trespass into the Spirit Domain!"
A furious shout came from inside the hall, and a terrifying shockwave immediately spread outwards.
Almost visible to the naked eye, the ring of spiritual energy surged in all directions, and anything that touched it was immediately locked onto.
Xu Long was merely probing, not engaging in a direct confrontation with the Spirit Controller, so he immediately withdrew his mental power.
"Heh, interesting, very interesting. A powerful barrier has been set up to separate the Spirit Domain from the Rakshasa Street. The area with the least spiritual energy in the Spirit Domain is more than ten times that of the Rakshasa Street, while the outermost edge of the island reaches more than twenty times. If I'm not mistaken, the spiritual energy concentration inside that hall is definitely more than a hundred times that of the Rakshasa Street, and there might even be liquefied spiritual energy."
Xu Long sneered inwardly. He roughly knew why Huangfu Doulong and Xiang Kunlun had always been hostile to the Spirit Domain, and even wanted to destroy Spirit Domain.
Such shameless behavior, he would have done the same thing in his place.
They want to control the human soul and monopolize the spiritual energy of this world.
Who do you think you are?
A god high above?
Directing his thoughts, Xu Long closed his eyes and began to sleep.
As the moon sets in the west and the sun rises in the east, a new day begins once again.
Cao Xuanliang and Tang Liuyu guarded Rakshasa Street, while Cao Yanbing, Xia Ling, and Xu Long teamed up to search for the Dragon Peach Tree.
"By the way, do your readers often leave abusive comments, send you razor blades, send you feces, or even try to break your legs?"
Just as everyone was busy packing up, Xia Ling came over and asked with a dark face.
"Huh? How did you know?"
Xu Long was a little confused. Could this guy also be his fan?
"Heh, the protagonist had all his meridians severed from a young age and also contracted a crippled pet. The woman he loved was gang-raped to death, his doting older brother was hacked to death, and even his aunt who often helped him was bitten to death by a hungry wolf. If that were all, it would be fine, as long as the protagonist survived, I could accept it."
Xia Ling's face darkened, her expression as if she had eaten shit.
"But what happened next? They got addicted to torturing the protagonist! He finally joined a sect, only to have his master die in less than three days, and the sect be wiped out in less than seven. He barely escaped with his life, and even a stroll down the street would bring him into the clutches of spoiled brats. So many people, yet they all chose to cause trouble for the protagonist. He beat up the younger ones, then the older ones appeared; he beat up the older ones, then the even older ones appeared; and later, they even mobilized their entire sect to fight against him alone. In over a million words, he was chased like a dog for more than half the time."
"Who the hell gave you the guts to write that? Fish Leong? Bring her out here, I'm going to fight her to the death!"
Xia Ling stared intently at Xu Long. She had stayed up all night reading the book, and her anger had even caused her period to become irregular.
"Sigh, I'm just a lousy writer, and I'm doing all this for the protagonist's benefit!"
Xu Long sighed, "How can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain? The hardships we face now are just for future happiness and fulfillment. What's this? I haven't even killed off the protagonist's pet yet..."
"You fucking want to kill off the pets? They're the only ones left dead now, and you still want to kill them off?"
Upon hearing Xu Long's words, Xia Ling was furious.
He snatched the gourd from Li Xuanyuan's hand and smashed it at Xu Long.
"I'll fucking make you do what's best for the protagonist, I'll make you happy and fulfilled, I'll make you see the rainbow..."
After a while of fussing, everyone was finally ready.
Xia Ling was still indignant and angry about the protagonist's situation.
"If you're so capable, you can go find the Dragon Peach Tree yourself. Why drag us along?"
Xia Ling shoved the gourd into Li Xuanyuan's hand and asked angrily.
"Although you're incredibly weak, Li Xuanyuan is very strong, so having him along will provide some protection. As for him..."
Cao Yanbing glanced at Xu Long and said, "I can give him some pointers on the way and help him summon his Guardian Spirit. My intuition tells me that his Guardian Spirit might be stronger than Li Xuanyuan's."
"Heh, I hope he can summon the protagonist he wrote. Let's see if that tormented protagonist will fight the enemy or perish together with him."
Xia Ling snorted coldly, glanced at Li Xuanyuan's gourd, and wanted to give Xu Long another blow.
"I really know I was wrong. In my next book, I'll definitely write a happy and fulfilling story for the protagonist, with both parents alive and well, and a female lead who's big, fair, fragrant, and soft."
Xu Long was on the verge of tears. It was just a novel; was it really necessary to go to such lengths? At worst, he could just write his own character's death.
"You'd better write a good book next time, or you'll get a hammer instead of a gourd."
Cao Yanbing snorted and took out a different set of clothes, handing it to Xu Long.
"This is Spirit Clothing, which can conceal one's aura; otherwise, the other spirits of Rakshasa Street will mistake it for an intruder."
Why only give it to him? What about mine?
Seeing Xu Long put on his clothes, Xia Ling couldn't help but ask.
"Have your Guardian Spirit create one for you!"
"Oh!"
Xia Ling muttered something to herself, and suddenly a radiant light flashed around her, revealing a uniquely styled outfit.
Spirit Clothing are worn close to the body; the moment one puts on Spirit Clothing, the original clothes are stored inside the Guardian Spirit's body.
Xia Ling changed her clothes very quickly, but Xu Long still saw it very clearly.
"Great, great stuff!"
Xu Long and Cao Yanbing exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
