#339 - Return to Retreat
Seeing this, Li Chengfeng was on high alert and asked in a deep voice, "Three fellow cultivators, why are you blocking my path? I just helped you out of a predicament by killing the Fire Spirit Beast. Instead of being grateful, you're chasing me down. What's the reason for this?"
Lan Qianxue hurriedly removed her veil and said, "I am Lan Qianxue. We are also searching for a special poisonous flower to refine pills, but we encountered an unexpected event and happened to meet Fellow Cultivator Li.
Thank you for your help, but now is not the time to talk. We need to leave this place as soon as possible. Chasing you was to take you away with us, which can be regarded as a reward for your help."
Li Chengfeng had already made plans in his heart, but the other party's eagerness completely exceeded his expectations.
According to his plan, it would take at least a year for them to come to him.
He pretended to be surprised and said, "So it's the three female cultivators. You are so well disguised that I didn't even notice.
Since that's the case, I will leave with the three of you first, and then we can talk in detail later."
After speaking, he walked towards the three women fearlessly, without any precautions. In fact, he had secretly prepared countermeasures to prevent accidents.
Ye Bitong didn't say much. She once again performed a hand seal and cast a spell. Stepping on the ground, a magic circle instantly enveloped the three of them, and then disappeared without a trace.
When they reappeared, they were already in an area five thousand miles away, completely out of the Blackwater Swamp.
Ye Bitong's face was pale, and she quickly replenished her mana with a top-grade spirit stone. Then, she stomped her foot again, the magic circle activated, and the three of them leaped another three thousand miles.
After five consecutive teleportations, they finally moved far away from that dangerous place, appearing fifteen thousand miles away.
At this time, Ye Bitong's forehead was covered with fine sweat, looking extremely weak.
Lan Qianxue hurriedly stepped forward to help her and comforted her, "Okay, we are safe here."
However, Li Chengfeng shook his head and said seriously, "Not necessarily. Although this place is far away, the changes in the Blackwater Swamp are unknown, and we cannot stay here for long.
Although the distance is far, safety is the most important thing. We need to continue moving forward."
He suggested, "Let's hold hands and I'll lead the way."
Lan Qianxue didn't hesitate and was the first to grab Li Chengfeng's hand, laughing heartily, "Hurry up!"
Then, the four of them held hands in turn. Li Chengfeng used the Steps of Life and Death, surrounded by righteous aura. His steps showed amazing speed, ten miles in one step, a hundred miles in ten steps, and a thousand miles in a hundred steps, far surpassing single flight.
The three women secretly marveled at how such power could come from an entry-level Shrinking Earth into Inches technique.
They thought to themselves that if Li Bai could advance to the Nascent Soul stage, how shocking would it be to cross thousands of miles in one step.
After traveling tens of thousands of miles, they finally arrived at Qinghai City. The big stone in their hearts fell to the ground, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Li Chengfeng also seemed exhausted, panting heavily, but the strength he showed made the three women look at him with new eyes.
Taking them to use Shrinking Earth into Inches, escaping ten thousand miles in one breath, this strength and perseverance were truly amazing.
Seeing this, Li Chengfeng also put down the burden in his heart and said to the three women, "Three fellow cultivators, we have arrived at Qinghai City, and I should go back to seclusion to sort out my gains.
If you have anything to discuss in the future, we can talk about it after I come out of seclusion."
After speaking, he cupped his fist in a salute, and instantly used Shrinking Earth into Inches. With a flash of his figure, he sped towards Qinghai City.
Lan Qianxue wanted to say a few words to keep him, but Li Chengfeng had already gone far away, leaving only a residual image.
Liu Ruyan and Ye Bitong smiled at each other, both feeling something in their hearts.
Male cultivators often find it difficult to control themselves when facing beauties like them, but Li Chengfeng was able to stay clear-headed and eager to return to seclusion. This composure and determination are truly rare.
Lan Qianxue muttered with slight dissatisfaction, "This Li Bai is really impatient, leaving without even saying a few polite words."
Liu Ruyan chuckled and said, "He must have gained something in that pool and is eager to go back and digest his insights. This person is wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao, without other distractions. Such a character is more trustworthy."
Ye Bitong nodded in agreement and took out a broken talisman from her bosom, handing it to Lan Qianxue, "Qianxue, after he comes out of seclusion, give him this broken talisman and ask him to try to draw a thousand sets of talisman formations.
Although this task is difficult, I just want to test his level.
It doesn't matter if he can't complete it, we can study it together, which will also improve his talisman skills."
Lan Qianxue took the broken talisman, her brows slightly furrowed, "This task is probably difficult even for a top-grade talisman master to complete. Won't it be too difficult for him?"
Ye Bitong smiled without saying a word, obviously confident.
Liu Ruyan suggested, "Let's go back and rest first. This experience has given me a deeper understanding of my own cultivation methods. It was worth the trip."
The three women smiled at each other, then set up their escape lights and flew towards Qinghai City, each contemplating their future path of cultivation.
After Li Chengfeng returned to his cave, he immediately set up restrictions to ensure that his cultivation would not be disturbed by the outside world.
He quickly entered the cultivation room and entered the Life Realm space through a mysterious method. This was the best place for him to retreat and cultivate, and to comprehend the world.
In this space belonging to him, Li Chengfeng was finally able to relax. He knew that this journey of destiny was extraordinary, and every insight might be an important cornerstone on his future path of cultivation.
He began to carefully savor everything he had experienced today, especially the power of that life-saving thunder tribulation.
He was surprised to find that the thunder tribulation could not only temper his body and improve his cultivation, but more importantly, it could also become a powerful weapon for him to fight against strong enemies. By communicating with the heavenly tribulation, he could borrow the power of heaven and earth to inflict devastating blows on his enemies.
This ability made him both excited and vigilant. He understood that although this power was strong, it also had strict limitations and conditions.
While comprehending the power of thunder tribulation, Li Chengfeng also developed a strong interest in Ye Bitong's teleportation array.
He knew that this technology, which could shrink a huge teleportation array, achieve portability, and teleport multiple people, was undoubtedly a huge help to cultivators.
It not only greatly saved time and mana, but also could become the key to escape at critical moments.
Li Chengfeng secretly pondered how to obtain this technology to make his path of cultivation smoother.
At the same time, he did not forget his spirit beast - Frog Saint. As soon as this little guy was released, he hopped around excitedly, obviously very satisfied with the rich spiritual energy here.
However, Li Chengfeng didn't give it too much time to enjoy. He directly waved his hand, trapped it in a lightning cage, and threw it a book, asking it to study hard and quickly improve its cultivation.
He knew that only a powerful spirit beast could become a good helper on his cultivation path, and the Mobile Frog Saint had already reached the peak of the alien world. If it could not break through the bottleneck, then its value would be greatly reduced.
"Study this book carefully. I hope you can improve to the realm of a second-order demon beast as soon as possible." Li Chengfeng said seriously to the Mobile Frog Saint, "If you can't break through, then I can only consider sending you back to the restaurant to see if the cultivators there are interested in your frog meat."
After hearing Li Chengfeng's threat, Frog Saint immediately restrained his playful attitude and became unusually serious, burying himself in studying the book, for fear of being sent back to the Jiulou and becoming a dish.
Seeing this, Li Chengfeng nodded in satisfaction and continued to focus on his own insights and plans.
He knew that the events in the Blackwater Swamp this time must have the shadow of Old Ancestor Qingyun behind them.
It was no accident that the Blackwater Swamp could exist and develop for a long time. There must be support and shelter from the Qingyun Sect.
Thinking of this, Li Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. He must improve his strength as soon as possible to cope with the challenges ahead.
At the same time, deep in the Blackwater Swamp, Great Fate Master Yu Yi was facing an unprecedented crisis.
His altars were destroyed one after another, making his heart ache. These altars not only cost him countless efforts, but were also the key to his cultivation of the power of fate.
When he used the power of fate to see the scene of the thunder tribulation destroying the Thunder Eyed Fire Spirit Beast, his face instantly turned gloomy.
He understood that this was the backlash and warning from the Heavenly Dao against them. The existence of the fate master did not seem to be tolerated by the Heavenly Dao.
