As for why Wan Chongshan has so many clones that Li Xingkong still can't contact, Li Xingkong didn't even bother to think about such trivial questions.
Why else? The Thousand Mountains Body was created by someone else, so it's only natural that they would have some backup plan.
The only thing that piqued Li Xingkong's curiosity was why this guy was keeping his Thousand Mountains Body as a pet.
Liu Shinian's mention of a harem was clearly a joke. Is Wan Chongshan that kind of person? Li Xingkong really doesn't think so.
Guapilong and Xiao Chongshan were both by his side. Li Xingkong was familiar with both the past and present versions of her, so she shouldn't be that abnormal.
Thinking about this is useless; you'll just have to go and see for yourself.
"Lead the way, Master Liu."
Li Xingkong gestured for him to enter and looked at Liu Shinian.
"Ahem, young comrade, you're so sensible!"
Liu Shinian laughed heartily, stepped forward, and patted Li Xingkong on the shoulder with feigned authority. He even pretended to flick the dust off Li Xingkong's collar, acting like a leader.
"Let's go then, Xiao Lizi!"
"Hurry up."
Li Xingkong was truly helpless; this guy was really putting on a dramatic act.
Li Xingkong really didn't know where Wan Chongshan would settle in the Jade Void Palace.
He didn't dare ask, and he didn't dare go even if there was nothing wrong. After all, the psychological trauma from before was still there, so he avoided it if he could.
However, the current situation is clearly not something he can resolve by hiding; it concerns cultivation, so he has to go even if he has to grit his teeth.
Following Liu Shinian through many twists and turns, this guy, who had been here for who knows how many days, was actually more familiar with the ins and outs of the Jade Void Palace than Li Xingkong.
"Tsk, someone's been in the Primordial World for so long, and hasn't come out for a single stroll. Now look what's happened, it's hard to say who's the host and who's the guest."
The system also popped up at the opportune moment, making a few comments about Li Xingkong.
"Tch, go play somewhere else, this isn't important."
Li Xingkong clearly didn't care about these things, after all, he came here to cultivate, not to travel.
"Oh right, that's not important."
The system responded perfunctorily.
"Looking for a beating, huh? You infected Liu Shinian?"
Li Xingkong glared at it.
"What are you saying? You're too embarrassed to talk to Little Liu, so you're bullying me just because I'm a system?"
"Hey! I'm on the system's side in this, Xiao Li, don't go too far, it's under my protection!"
Just as Li Xingkong and the system were staring at each other blankly, Little Liu's voice came over.
"Um?"
Li Xingkong wasn't speaking when he communicated with the system, yet this guy could still hear him!
"What? I'm its protector now!"
Liu Shinian's eyes widened, looking like a bully.
Li Xingkong Divine Sense and pulled out a wisp of Immortal Power belonging to Liu Shinian.
"You're really awful."
"Nonsense, mind your own business."
Liu Shinian showed no shame, withdrew the wisp of Immortal Power, and made a face.
"Arrive!"
Before Li Xingkong could say anything, Liu Shinian pointed to the small courtyard in front of him.
"You wait."
Li Xingkong pointed at her repeatedly, intending to give her a good welcome once this matter was settled.
"Oh dear, we have distinguished guests! Why don't you come in?"
Before Li Xingkong could finish speaking, he heard a voice transmission coming from the courtyard. The familiar voice made Li Xingkong tremble.
" Senior Wan, I came without prior notice; it was truly out of necessity. I hope you will understand."
"Enough with the nonsense, get here!"
Li Xingkong felt a force pulling him and Liu Shinian into the small courtyard.
"I know why you've come, but Thousand Mountains Body is my private property. What do you want in exchange?"
In a flash, Li Xingkong and Liu Shinian were sucked into a space, the very place where Liu Shinian had last seen Li Xingkong's Thousand Mountains Body.
The throne of Wan Chongshan, like a crystal formed from thousands of prisms, hung high in the air, and she rested one leg on it, leaning against it, looking every bit the part of a mountain queen.
Below her, Xiao Chongshan's figure was clearly visible; he was in seclusion, cultivating.
Teaching oneself is unprecedented.
"Senior, that is my Thousand Mountains Body..."
Li Xingkong didn't know where to begin. Those were all his Thousand Mountains Body, how did they become the private property of Wan Chongshan?
"You obtained your Thousand Mountains Method from me, right?"
Wan Chongshan raised an eyebrow and said.
"That's right, but..."
What did Li Xingkong want to say?
"That settles it then. You can think of it as me taking eleven percent tax, and that's all my share."
The Wan Chongshan remained unmoved.
No, this is just too outrageous.
Li Xingkong was a bit taken aback. What kind of outrageous argument was this? An eleventh of the month tax? Was that even possible?
However, seeing Wan Chongshan's smug expression, Li Xingkong didn't say anything more, after all, he had come here to ask for a favor.
"What would you like, senior?"
After thinking it over and over, Li Xingkong still asked. There was no other way; it concerned cultivation, and he had to do it no matter what.
I want you to promise me one thing.
Wan Chongshan looked at Li Xingkong in front of her, but she didn't mention any difficult or unsatisfactory problems.
What promise?
Li Xingkong's heart skipped a beat; this senior was probably going to make things difficult for him again.
"It's not the right time yet. Just agree."
Wan Chongshan didn't immediately reveal the contents, but instead wore a playful expression.
"Okay, I agree."
Li Xingkong didn't care what conditions she was going to propose. Anyway, Wan Chongshan could do anything he wanted, and he was probably just looking forward to making a fool of himself.
"Okay, then have you thought it through?"
A gentleman's word is as good as his bond.
Li Xingkong made all the promises he was right.
"Alright, you may take whatever you need from these Thousand Mountains Body."
Wan Chongshan pushed, and Li Xingkong felt the entire platform and countless mirrors around it being pushed apart. The space where Wan Chongshan and Xiao Chongshan were located was torn apart, and their figures disappeared.
Only then did Li Xingkong have time to look around at his surroundings.
Wan Chongshan truly lives up to her reputation as the one who created the Thousand Mountains Method. Each mirror here is connected to a parallel world, and under her control, these parallel worlds have been separated from reality and become independent entities.
No wonder Li Xingkong couldn't sense them; under this stripping, they simply didn't exist in the Primordial World.
"Oh dear, aren't you afraid that Sister Wan will sell you off?"
Liu Shinian, standing to the side, watched the entire event.
"What's there to be afraid of? There are many people in the entire Primordial World stronger than her. What can't she do if she wants to? She's just trying to mess with me."
Li Xingkong shook his head; he didn't believe there was anything that absolutely required his intervention.
With a wave of his hand, several figures from the Thousand Mountains Body emerged from the mirror and made contact with Li Xingkong.
After enlightening each of them, Li Xingkong took out the Concept Bead from his body and distributed them to the various Thousand Mountains Body.
"Forget about all that other stuff, let's get to the repairs!"
Without further ado, let's get straight to the point.
Liu Shinian also began observing at the same time, after all, she had also obtained a lot of information from Li Xingkong's system and had a better understanding of what Li Xingkong wanted to do.
The more observers there are, the more opportunities there may be to observe, which would also be helpful for her spiritual practice.
