ALL NOVEL Chapter 160.2
Li Tianyan took a bite and discovered that the sea spirit beasts indeed tasted different from his usual fare. He nodded, impressed. “It’s really good.”
“This octopus is so big; you can eat it for a long time!” Cheng Qi exclaimed, grabbing an octopus leg and chewing happily. Suddenly, his expression shifted to one of concern. “I don’t know if the big fish monster has left. It can’t stay there forever. We have to go out too.”
“There’s enough food in the sea. It will leave when it’s full,” Li Tianyan reassured him, though he knew it would take some time.
A whirlpool had sent them down earlier, but swimming back wasn’t as simple now. There were too many unpredictable dangers in the sea, forcing them to hide in the Qiankun Realm from time to time. They had already spent a lot of time navigating around.
Speaking of the whirlpool, an idea suddenly struck Li Tianyan. Perhaps there was a way for them to surface quickly.
“Young master, are the Water Spirit Pearls effective?” Cheng Qi asked, recalling how Li Tianyan had used many water spirit pearls during this period and wondering about the outcome.
“Most of the energy has now been converted into true spiritual energy,” Li Tianyan replied truthfully.
Because his Dantian was too deep, no matter what method had been used before, his true spiritual energy could not be squeezed out empty, and naturally would be a lot harder to be refilled.
The energy in the water spirit pearl was pure and thick, and he finally succeeded in compressing it into a drop. With this, the process would be much smoother from now on.
“Then when we get back, the young master can prepare to form a core. That’s so awesome!” Cheng Qi was so excited that he almost jumped up.
“You’re not bad either,” Li Tianyan said with a smile.
Perhaps due to the fight with the core formation puppet, Cheng Qi’s potential had been squeezed out, and the aura of yin fire in his body was slightly stronger than before. While in the reef cave, he had exhausted his spiritual energy several times while healing Li Tianyan’s injuries. By the time he woke up, Cheng Qi had already reached the peak of foundation establishment.
Li Tianyan, having the memories of his previous life, could practice with ease, but Cheng Qi had started from scratch and was not inferior to him at all. Such speed was truly unmatched.
For safety reasons, the two stayed in the Qiankun Realm for two days before venturing out. Fortunately, the big sea monster was gone.
This time, Li Tianyan did not use water technique. Instead, he and Cheng Qi released the two puppets.
.
One day later, on the calm sea surface, a whirlpool of seawater suddenly rose into the sky. If one looked closely, there seemed to be a human figure in the whirlpool, but in the blink of an eye, the whirlpool dissipated, and the figure vanished without a trace.
Tan Eyu, who had been practicing in Qingdan Palace, suddenly sensed something and opened her eyes.
After Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi left the deep sea, they quickly rushed back to the sect on the flying magic weapon. This time, Li Tianyan did not dare to be careless and stowed the Evil Sect’s gourd into the Qiankun Realm, he was even more cautious while flying.
After flying over the Canghai Sea for two days, Li Tianyan encountered the Tianfan Immortal Sect’s spaceship. It was Tian Min who had come to pick him up in person. Elder Su Yu was with him, and Tan Eyu was naturally also on the spaceship.
Tan Eyu crossed her arms, looking at the two people who had descended into the spacecraft, with a helpless expression on her face. As long as she glanced at them less, those two could cause trouble whether in the sky or on the ground.
Once Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi stood still, they greeted the two elders first.
“It’s okay, just go back with me first.” Upon seeing the two of them appear intact, Tian Min felt a wave of relief wash over him.
Seeing Tian Min’s expression, Li Tianyan’s eyes flashed with warmth. The group set off to return to the Tianfan Immortal Sect. With Su Yu piloting the spaceship, their speed naturally increased.
The Five Region Sect’s plan to eradicate the evil sect had been put on hold due to a letter of truce from the Tianfan Immortal Sect.
When the sects from several regions first saw the truce, they were somewhat dissatisfied. However, upon hearing Xuan Zhen’s explanation, everyone was shocked to realize they had nearly fallen into the Shura Sect’s trap again. Angered yet with no choice, they returned to the starting point to continue searching for the core of the Shura Sect.
After Li Tianyan returned to the sect, he and Cheng Qi went to the thunder pool to practice again. After exiting the thunder pool, they found a remote mountain retreat in the Tianfan Immortal Sect.
When Tian Min heard that Li Tianyan was preparing to form a core, he simply said “Oh,” with a numb expression, feeling no disturbance in his heart.
He just didn’t understand why Li Tianyan didn’t form a core in the Qingdan Palace. After all, the grounds of the Qingdan Palace were also made of special materials, sufficient to withstand a core formation thunderstorm.
Then one day, a month later, the top of the mountain where Li Tianyan retreated was suddenly covered with dense clouds. From a distance, it appeared to be three layers thick, which made onlookers feel a bit nervous.
Because of the overwhelming aura of the thundercloud, even the sect’s Core Formation elders did not dare to get too close. All the surrounding hills had been evacuated from where Li Tianyan was.
“Xiao Qi, is Tianyan hiding his cultivation?” Elder Tian Min asked Cheng Qi with a sense of unease. He could hardly believe the thundercloud in front of him was formed by a foundation establishment making a core.
“No,” Cheng Qi shook his head, a worried look flashing in his eyes. He had witnessed Li Tianyan form a core in his previous life, and although the thunder disaster at that time had also been immense, it was nothing like this.
