The arrival at Flying Cloud Pass signifies that the great battle is nearing its end, and Li Xingkong and his team's mission is now complete.
At this point, it would be perfectly fine to say hello to Huang Feihu at any time, and then return to the Jade Void Base.
Many of the immortals who came with them have already embarked on their return journey, but there are still many immortals busy with logistics.
After all, once the great battle is over, it will be time for them to unleash their full power.
Li Xingkong came with Liu Shinian, so there was no reason for him to leave alone.
Participating in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation Li Xingkong Li Xingkong another considerable reward, although he considered it to be of little use.
After all, Li Xingkong already had all the Concept Bead he could exchange for in the entire Jade Void region, and there was nothing else he was interested in.
Liu Shinian's recent gains, however, made her extremely happy.
On the one hand, she was stationed at the core of the entire formation, a very crucial position. On the other hand, because she needed to be on standby at all times and could not borrow from the knowledge base, Liu Shinian received nearly four times the contribution points due to these two factors, and also gained permission to freely enter and exit the knowledge base.
For her, this mission was far more profitable than anything she had made since arriving in the Era of Chaos.
"Hey, it's always good to have a big tree to lean on, that saying is so true."
As Liu Shinian tallied his spoils, his eyes crinkled into crescent moons with a smile.
"Hey, big tree, when are you going home?"
She nudged Li Xingkong; this trip had been very fruitful, and she could enjoy herself for a while when she got back.
"Go back, we've finished our mission, we can leave anytime."
Li Xingkong had packed his things long ago, or rather, he had nothing to pack at all.
Only a few Concept Bead need some work done; the rest is fine.
"I thought the big tree was going to take root here."
Liu Shinian raised an eyebrow. " General Huang is your senior brother, isn't he? Why don't you stay here a little longer?"
Li Xingkong had already obtained everything he wanted on this trip, and to be honest, there was nothing else for him to do at Flying Cloud Pass. He was just taking advantage of Huang Feihu for no reason, and the thought of it made Li Xingkong feel uncomfortable.
This is not what he wanted.
It would be better to go back to the base, sort out the gains from this trip, and then consider other things.
"No, staying under my senior brother's tutelage makes me feel like I'm just a freeloader; I'm not used to it."
Li Xingkong shook his head.
"Hey, I knew it! Let's set off now. Flying Cloud Pass is getting farther and farther away from our base. It might take us even longer to get back, so we need to prepare some things..."
Having received Li Xingkong's reply, Liu Shinian began to list the preparations needed for the trip.
"What are you muttering about? Let's go!"
Li Xingkong reached out and patted her shoulder, then pointed his other hand into the air, and a teleportation portal appeared like ripples on water.
"Well, we need to prepare. Can we just go straight back?"
Liu Shinian didn't doubt Li Xingkong's abilities, but rather that Flying Cloud Pass was simply too far from their base.
"Hey."
Li Xingkong didn't speak, but gestured with his head.
Across from the portal, the iconic demon-revealing mirror of the outpost hangs high.
His Traversal skills had certainly improved; opening a door to return to his base was effortless.
"You... hiss..."
Liu Shinian was utterly speechless.
"Please."
"You should have said so earlier, you bastard!"
Liu Shinian glanced at Li Xingkong, thankful she had prepared for so long. With a cold snort, she excitedly passed through the portal.
The next moment, Li Xingkong's figure also Traversal over, taking a step and returning to the camp from Flying Cloud Pass.
"So what are your plans next? If you come back..."
Standing at the entrance of the camp, Liu Shinian asked.
After all, the two were just fellow cultivators on a mission together. Now that the mission was coming to an end, it was time for them to go their separate ways.
"I plan to first establish my own cave dwelling, and then go into seclusion."
Li Xingkong had already figured out what he was going to do.
"A cave dwelling? You've been here for so long, and you still don't have one?"
Liu Shinian was a little curious; it didn't seem right to say that.
"No, not really. I was staying temporarily in the cave dwellings of a few cultivators."
Speaking of this, the images of those cultivators flashed through Li Xingkong's mind.
I haven't seen them for so many years, I wonder how they are doing now.
"Hmph, why bother with all that effort? Don't you have so much to offer? Just come to my cave."
Liu Shinian's eyes lit up; a good opportunity.
"That would be too much trouble for you, it's not a good idea."
Li Xingkong hesitated for a moment.
"We're like family, why are you giving me this nonsense? Come on, I'll take you there."
Liu Shinian punched Li Xingkong and chuckled to himself.
"Alright then, I'll borrow your space for now."
Unable to refuse Liu Shinian's hospitality, Li Xingkong was dragged into the camp.
The two did not immediately return to seclusion, as there were still many trivial matters to attend to.
First, you have to go to the commercial street and deliver the agreed-upon reward to the shopkeepers. The blessing you received back then wasn't free. Although the price was reduced considerably after Liu Shinian's negotiation, and it wouldn't have mattered if you didn't give it to them, the point is that favors are something that should be reciprocated.
The shopkeepers I met back then are still the same as before; after all, no one dares to cause trouble in this Jade Void Base.
After meeting with the shopkeepers again and distributing the red envelopes containing his contributions, Li Xingkong followed Liu Shinian to her cave dwelling.
Although this cave was located closer to the core area than Fufu and the others', Li Xingkong only realized after entering that this guy's cave wasn't as big as he had imagined.
Perhaps because one person doesn't need much space, this cave dwelling only has a few rooms.
As usual, Li Xingkong and made arrangements for his secluded training area.
I took some time to visit Fufu and the others. Ever since Li Xingkong modified their cave dwelling, the three of them have switched to supplying spiritual herbs. They haven't gone out to fight for their lives in recent years and have been living a much more comfortable life.
Seeing that the group's lives were thriving, Li Xingkong didn't bother them anymore. After checking their information and placing a large order with them, Li Xingkong left.
The so-called big orders were nothing more than a drop in the Li Xingkong.
After finishing up things at the base, Li Xingkong wasted no time and returned directly to his cave to begin his seclusion.
Li Xingkong first sorted out his gains since arriving in the Era of Chaos. This trip to the Era of Chaos was worthwhile. Not only did his cultivation level change from Heavenly Immortal to Golden Immortal, but he also found a concept that belonged to him and took several very crucial steps in the cultivation system he set up.
