Chapter 985: Chapter 124: Traveling the Universe Freely with Liuli (2-in-1)

Outside the Heavenly Sphere, there also exists gravity pulling towards it, but it’s much lower than the gravity on the surface.

Just a light jump could propel one to an incredibly high position, taking a long time to land.

Therefore, for Luo Yan and Shi Liuli to move here, they must use Sword Control throughout the journey; otherwise, if they leap into the air with no foothold, it’s troublesome if attacked by Heavenly Demons.

The two flew on their Sword Light, circling the surface of the Heavenly Sphere for a long time, only to find it pointless.

No matter where on this surface, there were no fluctuations at all; it was completely identical–meaning, there was no cover to hide from the Heavenly Demons.

Meanwhile, the bone-chilling cold of the surrounding Chaotic Heavenly River was gradually eroding into their bodies.

“This is troublesome,” Shi Liuli said uneasily, “if it were only the water of this Heavenly River or only the Heavenly Demon attacks, it wouldn’t be completely unmanageable.”

“But the combination of these two makes the danger truly immense.”

She tossed a copper coin into the air, and as soon as it left her hand, it quickly froze, then slowly fell back into her palm.

“What about this way?” Luo Yan clasped his hands, unleashing the Innate Five Elements Divine Light.

With the changing dynamics of Five Elements Generation, the cold chill around them quickly turned to a subtle warmth, like sitting by a cozy fire.

“Won’t this consume a lot of True Yuan?” Shi Liuli asked worriedly.

Oh, it won’t, after all, I’m a First Grade Immortal Infant! I have plenty of True Yuan!

Naturally, he couldn’t say this to Shi Liuli, so Luo Yan just smiled calmly and didn’t respond.

“There haven’t been any heavenly demon attacks yet, so save your True Yuan, my dear.” Shi Liuli spoke with concern once more.

“They’ve already arrived.” Luo Yan suddenly pointed to a certain place.

Shi Liuli looked up to see vague shadows flickering between the distant stars.

“This should be the area of the First Layer of Heaven,” Shi Liuli said calmly, “the difficulty of combating Heavenly Demons here isn’t high.”

“But as time passes, news of us being here will inevitably leak, and the Heavenly Demons that come to attack will surely grow stronger.”

“So, what do you mean, my dear?” Luo Yan inquired.

“That old man only said we couldn’t hide inside the Heavenly Sphere, not that we couldn’t venture far from the Heavenly Sphere, right?” Shi Liuli suddenly asked.

“Are you thinking of delving deep into the cosmos?” Luo Yan asked in astonishment.

At first glance, this plan seemed too radical because at least the outer wall of the Heavenly Sphere provided support, but going deep into the Heavenly River, into the universe, would equate to entering the Heavenly Demons’ lair, and if surrounded en masse, it would indeed be disastrous.

But on closer thought… it did seem to have some logic.

Staying near the outer wall of the Heavenly Sphere was like staying near a giant light bulb at midnight, attracting more and more Heavenly Demons in swarms.

But if they went deep into the cosmos, although there was the risk of poking a hornet’s nest, they wouldn’t be trapped near the Heavenly Sphere.

“Mm.” Shi Liuli nodded, “Didn’t that old man say? The closer to the stars, the greater the power of my Qi Refining Technique’s derivative Daoist Magic.”

“Between you and me, the shortfall in battle strength lies with me, and Heavenly Demons, being always cunning, will certainly target me fiercely.”

“If I can enhance the power of Daoist Magic, my chances of self-preservation will also increase.”

Speaking of self-preservation, Luo Yan remembered something.

The last twelve masters of the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden did not include Shi Liuli’s name! This means that my dear wife didn’t make it to the end…

Oh well, as long as she likes it.

“Alright then.” Luo Yan laughed heartily, “Since this is just a secret realm and not the actual universe… why don’t we take this chance to explore how big this secret realm is, shall we?”

And so the two of them rode their swords, flying towards the distant stars.

Along the way, they saw three types of planets in this universe: first, the blazing stars; second, the barren rocks; and third, the Heavenly Spheres with runic barriers.

Among them, the first two accounted for the vast majority, and apart from their starting point, which was the Cultivation Realm, they didn’t see a second Heavenly Sphere.

Most regions were filled with the extremely cold waters of the Heavenly River, whose bone-chilling Water Element cold constantly seeped into them, only to be transformed by Luo Yan’s Innate Five Elements Divine Light into warm Wood Element Spiritual Energy.

This way, Shi Liuli didn’t have to constantly activate her True Yuan to resist the cold of the surrounding environment.

Luo Yan swept his Divine Sense around and noticed more and more patrolling shadows, all fearsome Demon Heads casting greedy, vicious glances their way.

Strangely enough, it was said that the uglier these extraterrestrial Demon Heads looked, the lower their Cultivation Realm often was.

However, those appearing as handsome men and beautiful women were indeed no pushovers, exceptionally formidable and strange.

Seeing these Demon Heads with bizarre appearances, Luo Yan knew they were definitely not on the same level as Madam Jiang, so he couldn’t bother to eliminate such small fry, only continuing to rush forward with Shi Liuli.

Soon, the two approached one of the stars.

This star appeared as just a speck of light from afar, but up close, it was massive, with yellow fireballs constantly erupting from its surface.

A slight approach let them feel the enormous heat it emitted, almost suffocating.

Luo Yan and Shi Liuli stopped their Sword Control, noticing that the surrounding Demon Heads were already as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, unable to contain their eagerness as they closed in.

“My dear, restore your True Yuan first.” Luo Yan was about to make a move when Shi Liuli stopped him with her outstretched hand, “Let me fend them off with my spell for a while.”
