"It's a good thing I've reached the Nascent Soul stage, otherwise I really wouldn't have known you had this trick up your sleeve."
Li Xingkong reached out and touched the connection between the system and himself a few times, but still couldn't reach it.
It's normal that he can't touch it, after all, Li Xingkong understood a cruel truth after advancing to the Cosmic Sea.
In the universe, so-called rules and laws are all attributes of the universe itself. In the Cosmic Sea, everything needs its own stable rules in order to maintain its form and not be blown away.
The significance of the Dragon Gate is not only for crossing over, but it is also the initial protective shell for the Nascent Soul in the Cosmic Sea.
Similarly, it was also the first gift that the Original Universe gave to every Nascent Soul cultivator.
Every cultivator who originates from the same universe must have the same origin in the rules of that universe. This continuity in rules is similar to the blood ties between people. Experienced cultivators can know a person's origins with just one glance.
The rules are different; although he can see the system's methods, he obviously can't necessarily grasp them.
"Oh, it's no big deal. I was just a little bored while I was watching you cultivate."
Without batting an eye, the system quietly untied the rather intricate rope bondage binding Li Xingkong's body.
"Ahem, putting everything else aside, congratulations on achieving the Nascent Soul!"
The system coughed twice and said seriously.
"Originally, there should have been some additional assessments, but..." The system glanced at Wan Chongshan, then stopped speaking.
Anyway, the situation is special, emmm, congratulations in advance!
Li Xingkong, on the contrary, did not show too much joy. Before advancing to the Nascent Soul, he originally thought that the gap between himself and Wan Chongshan was not that big, but after the advancement, Li Xingkong realized that the gap between the two did not seem to have narrowed much.
The difference between a frog seeing the moon in the sky and an ant seeing the blue sky was vividly displayed in Li Xingkong's eyes at this moment.
He had already leaped into the Cosmic Sea, yet he still felt that the Wan Chongshan before him were bottomless.
"Did she cultivate so fast?" Li Xingkong was quite puzzled. The difference in their cultivation levels and the overwhelming strength made it hard for Li Xingkong to imagine which timeline this person came from.
Judging from this situation, even if I break through to the Nascent Soul, I still won't be able to do anything about this guy.
He hadn't forgotten why he broke through; he still needed to find a way to escape and save the current Guapilong.
"Why are you looking at me? Now that you've reached the Nascent Soul, I naturally won't stop you. Go do whatever you want."
After the system finished speaking with Li Xingkong, Wan Chongshan nodded unhurriedly. This guy's cultivation talent was indeed strong from beginning to end; he even managed to find such demanding conditions for Nascent Soul formation.
Moreover, that Power of Creation was indeed found to be exquisitely crafted.
However...
Wan Chongshan verbally conceded, but a hint of a smile still lingered in her narrowed eyes.
From now on, she won't be the main character.
Hearing Wan Chongshan say this, Li Xingkong even doubted his own ears. This guy had previously imprisoned and forced himself on her; he didn't seem like such a magnanimous person at all. Could it be that the tiny bit of conscience belonging to the Guapilong" within her had finally surfaced?
It was hard to say; Li Xingkong was somewhat doubtful.
"Go ahead, I won't stop you."
Wan Chongshan waved his hand, as if shooing away flies.
"Thank you so much, senior!"
Without saying a word, Li Xingkong Chasing Light Chaser and stepped out.
Even the system couldn't keep up with him.
"Wow, when did you become so agreeable? Could you let me go too?"
The system was somewhat taken aback by her actions.
"Hehe, the real show is yet to come. We need to find another place to watch it. As for you... you didn't even complete the task I gave you, and you still have the nerve to run away? Stay put."
Wan Chongshan reached out and hooked the system into her hand. Then she picked up a cup of tea from the table, took a step forward unhurriedly, and vanished from the spot.
Li Xingkong's cultivation of the Chasing Light was also quite good, especially after advancing to the Nascent Soul. Li Xingkong felt that there was no place in the current universe that he could not go.
But when the Chasing Light was activated and he took a step, Li Xingkong found that he had not arrived at the location of the Heavenly Palace Above the Clouds as he had hoped, but instead arrived in a very strange star system.
There are no planets in the entire galaxy; instead, eight stars revolve around a larger central star, as if the laws of physics do not exist here.
Li Xingkong had never been to this place before; he had never even seen it.
Looking around, even the other star systems in sight looked quite strange.
They were so precise, like a giant machine, that every galaxy looked exactly the same, as if they had been carved from the same mold, completely different from the galaxies Li Xingkong had ever seen before.
Just as Li Xingkong filled with doubt and was about to launch the Chasing Light again, the huge star in front of him suddenly began to move.
A wave of light surged toward Li Xingkong, and a clear voice appeared in Li Xingkong's mind.
"Holy crap, a cultivator! He's with me!"
"Wow, this is terrible! I need to go check my books. Wait for me, just a minute!"
The star transmitted another message, and then Li Xingkong noticed that dozens of galaxies in front of him had begun to rotate abnormally, as if they were searching for something.
After a short while, they stopped making noise.
That voice rang out again.
"Ah, found it, found it. Here, fill out a form first. You're a Nascent Soul cultivator, right?"
The voice was filled with a strange excitement; it seemed unusually thrilled.
"Who are you..."
Li Xingkong did not answer the question first, but instead asked about the identity of the voice.
This person was able to bring me here so quietly; they're clearly not a simple character.
"Oh, right, let me take a look. According to your usual etiquette, I should introduce myself first."
The voice paused, and then all the stars in the galaxy trembled in unison, the gushing sundials forming an extremely complex geometric pattern.
"I am the will of the current universe! You may call me Huan."
The will of the universe!
Li Xingkong was secretly startled. He really hadn't expected that this universe actually had a will.
Doesn't this mean that if he had chosen the Heavenly Heart Method back then, he was destined to fail in his cultivation?
Thank goodness.
"Alright, alright, this is my first time meeting a cultivator. This is truly a memorable occasion. Come on, let's stick to the same question: you're Nascent Soul cultivator, right?"
"That's right."
Li Xingkong naturally wouldn't believe him based solely on his words, but since the question didn't touch on his private matters, answering it wouldn't hurt.
"Good, good, good, Nascent Soul is good. Let me flip through it in a bit, emmm, it should be this page..."
The voice started talking to itself, leaving Li Xingkong somewhat confused.
