Chapter 419: Chapter 233: Breaking into Grotto Heaven! _2
They swiftly arrived in front of the grand hall, and just as the two stepped in,
they saw Zhao Sitong in a red dress walking gracefully toward them. Her eyes turned complex upon seeing Lu Li.
“Your servant pays respect to Senior Lu.”
Her voice was crisp, like that of a siskin.
She had been utterly surprised when she learned of Lu Li’s recent breakthrough to Nascent Soul.
It was hard to believe that in just a few short years of not meeting, Lu Li had already become a Nascent Soul senior.
This was somewhat unexpected to her.
“Senior Sister Zhao is unharmed? How come you’ve suddenly become distant with your junior brother?”
Lu Li joked with a smile.
He was quite aware of her feelings for him, but he chose not to clarify them directly, instead indulging in a bit of teasing.
Zhao Sitong’s face turned red, yet warmth rose in her heart.
Even after the breakthrough to Nascent Soul, he was still that same Junior Brother Lu.
Beside them, Mo Qingyan looked at the two of them with a strange expression on her face.
She knew her disciple was probably beyond saving.
Then, Mo Qingyan led Lu Li to a jade table and they began to enjoy some Spiritual Tea.
As they sipped tea and discussed Tao, half a year quickly passed by.
During this half year, because their discussions were so profound, Mo Qingyan was quite taken aback by some of Lu Li’s insights into cultivation.
Impressively, Lu Li, who had just broken through to Nascent Soul, was able to discuss Tao with her, benefiting her greatly.
Lu Li, too, found these discussions incredibly beneficial, as acquiring the cultivation experience from a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator was quite rare.
On this day, as morning approached,
“Junior Brother Lu, let’s set off,”
Mo Qingyan said with a gentle smile.
“Don’t resist.”
“Um…”
Lu Li nodded with a smile.
At this moment, Mo Qingyan cast streaks of spiritual light into the void, which quickly disappeared, causing the surrounding Spiritual Energy to surge wildly.
Suddenly, a massive force arrived.
Lu Li felt a tightness all around him, and the space around them turned into a void, whisking them rapidly toward an unknown destination.
A moment later,
when Lu Li scanned his surroundings again, he found himself in a completely changed environment.
Clearly, this was a small world, with green mountains and waters, and white clouds drifting leisurely.
The spiritual energy in the air was abundant.
Ahead on the ground was a gigantic square, crowded with cultivators setting up stalls.
Surprisingly, most of those present were Nascent Soul cultivators, and some Golden Core cultivators also appeared to be disciples.
“This place is the exchange site of the Spirit Cloud Alliance, an ownerless small world,”
Mo Qingyan said with a light smile.
Lu Li nodded and, alongside Mo Qingyan, descended towards the square.
As they walked through the rows of stalls, the stalls were packed with an overwhelming array of Spiritual Objects, the Spiritual Energy was pressing.
There were also many cultivators bargaining, making the entire area quite bustling.
Seeing Mo Qingyan approaching, many cultivators nodded and smiled warmly.
Upon looking at Lu Li, all showed signs of inquiry.
News had already spread about Lu Li, the newly advanced Nascent Soul, and it was quite a surprise to find he was Mo Qingyan’s disciple.
“It seems that Mo Qingyan holds a not-so-low position within the Spirit Cloud Alliance,”
Lu Li thought to himself.
The pair continued walking and soon came to a small stall.
The stall displayed several fifth-tier Spirit Grass seeds and some pieces of Geng Gold Essence.
The stall owner was a beautiful woman in red, with a charming face and voluptuous figure.
Her cultivation was at the middle stage of Nascent Soul, quite remarkable.
“Senior Sister Mo is here. Is this the Junior Brother Lu you mentioned?”
He Yulian smiled coyly, appearing quite enticing.
She was very envious, surprised that among Mo Qingyan’s disciples, there could be a Nascent Soul Great Power.
Mo Qingyan smiled lightly, “How are you considering it?”
“I must kill him. Now that I’m joined by Mr. Lu, we will surely slay him, even if he hides in Grotto Heaven.”
He Yulian’s eyes flickered with cold light.
One of her talented female disciples had been harvested by Qin Xuwen until death.
Otherwise, she might have already broken through to Nascent Soul.
This infuriated her, and she had long wanted to kill him to comfort her disciple’s spirit.
Unfortunately, the man was very cunning. Most of his outings were done through avatars, making it difficult for her to find an opportunity.
Lu Li’s expression was stern, shocked by Qin Xuwen’s heinous acts.
“After this exchange, we’ll make our move immediately. How does that sound, Fellow Daoist He?”
“Just as Mr. Lu says,”
He Yulian nodded slightly.
Then Lu Li bid farewell to the two women and started to wander around the square.
Many stalls were filled with various high-level Spiritual Objects, which were quite tempting for him.
However, having just broken through to Nascent Soul left his pockets somewhat empty, allowing him only a few scant purchases, gaining little.
Just as Lu Li walked to a corner, ready to turn back, a message from the ancestor Spirit Monkey suddenly transmitted into his mind.
The voice was quite urgent.
“There is a fragment ahead, I sense a familiar scent.”
“The soul fluctuations inside have disappeared.”
Lu Li turned his head to look.
He saw a beautiful woman in white sitting cross-legged in front of a small stall.
Her cultivation level was only at the Golden Core Peak.
Clearly, she was a disciple of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
“How much for this Magical Treasure Fragment?”
Lu Li did not beat around the bush and pointed directly to the fragment in the corner, clearly stating his purpose.
“Senior, this item is nothing but tough and serves no other purpose, just ten high-grade Spirit Stones.”
Bai Xiaoyue smiled faintly, not daring to ask for an exorbitant price.
“I’ll take this item.”
Lu Li smiled, took out the Spirit Stones, and handed them to her.
Then he picked up the fragment, squeezed it hard, only to see it remained unchanged.
“Just as I thought.”
Lu Li’s face lit up with joy.
Unexpectedly, he found a delightful surprise this time.
The fragments he had collected were almost complete, just one piece short.
With this fragment, he could form a ring, and once he inherited the Immortal Mansion, with its resources, he would surely make great strides again.
Lu Li stored the fragment in his Storage Bag and then turned and left.
Afterward, he strolled around the square for most of the day until evening, when he went to meet He Yulian and two others at her stall.
Soon, the three of them gathered together.
“Inside is the spatial coordinates of the opponent.”
Mo Qingyan smiled gently, pulling out a white Jade Scroll and handing it to Lu Li.
Lu Li took the Jade Scroll, scanned it with his Divine Sense, his gaze flickering uncertainly.
The Jade Scroll contained the exact coordinates of a small world, very detailed.
“Using Cave Heaven Power, I will send you on your way.”
Mo Qingyan spoke again.
“Are you wondering why I am not joining you in taking action?”
Lu Li and the others listened and remained calm.
Naturally, they were quite curious.
“This person is likely deeply connected with the Stealing Heaven Alliance. If I were to act, a decisive battle would immediately erupt.”
Mo Qingyan’s expression was somber.
As a crucial powerhouse of the Spirit Cloud Alliance, she was constantly monitored. Taking action would involve the bigger picture.
He Yulian nodded in understanding.
Later, the three returned to Mo Qingyan’s Grotto Heaven.
The three stood firmly on a large lake.
Mo Qingyan’s hands moved quickly, sending out streaks of Spiritual Light that vanished into the void.
A vast power descended upon Lu Li and the other.
Then, with a wave of the void, the two disappeared from the spot.
Lu Li, accompanied by He Yulian, navigated through the void passages. Many small worlds surrounded them, some emanating faint murderous intents that were chilling.
He followed the Star Map in his mind, exploring swiftly forward.
They flew for half the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before arriving close to their target world.
This was under circumstances with specific coordinates; if it were up to their own searching, it would be very difficult to find this place.
No wonder Nascent Soul Cultivators who merged with Grotto Heaven had greatly enhanced survival abilities.
Even finding the world coordinates was a tough task.
“This is it.”
Lu Li’s face bore killing intent.
Then he and He Yulian swiftly moved forward and disappeared into the void channels.
With a hiss…
As the world barrier resisted, Lu Li felt a tightness around him and arrived in a strange world.
His Divine Sense swept across the world; the space was neither large nor small, but it was quite desolate.
The Spiritual Energy in the air was very thin.
On the ground, various large and small cities were built, countless mortals pulling giant stones slowly moving forward, their steps faltering, their faces numb.
“Daddy, I want to go home.”
On the official road, a frail woman with a huge rope on her back showed a pained expression, her legs trembling.
The middle-aged man beside her appeared utterly desperate.
“Ling’er, just hang on for a few more days…”
“Snap…”
Just then, a thick thorny vine whipped over.
It struck the woman’s back, revealing strips of blood that were startling.
“Pull faster, if you delay the matter of that divine being, I won’t spare you.”
A fat middle-aged man, holding the whip, showed disdain on his face.
