"... That was so dangerous, I was almost struck by lightning."
Outside the Palace of Heaven, Wang Lu looked at the bottomless rift behind him with lingering fear. A Deity Stage cultivator was indeed awesome. Separated by such a long distance, a thunderbolt from the clear sky was powerful enough to turn a King Pill level cultivator into ashes.
Fortunately, just now, he and Liu Li did not stand under that thunderbolt. Instead, through a substitute sword, they guided the power of the thunderbolt down and completely poured it into the ground.
Looking at the deep rift that was split open by the power of the thunderbolt and smelling the pungent burnt smell in the air, Wang Lu could not help but sigh that even though his cultivation base was far inferior to hers, in terms of IQ, he could completely suppress Moonless. Thus, he could guess her every step of reaction in advance and then make arrangements in advance.
Through the magical ability of Liu Li's human and sword exchange, Wang Lu successfully helped her escape from Moon Capital. However, immediately after that, they would have to face the full pursuit of a Daoist Master of Deity Stage. Wang Lu didn't think that the time that he had bought would allow the two of them to escape far enough.
Therefore, in Moon Capital, Wang Lu simply left some clues for Moonless to actively guide her next move. Liu Li's human and sword exchange was not a flawless escape skill. The reason why she could freely exchange position between human and sword, and even hide from the perception of Moonless as well as the strict monitoring network of Moon Capital, was that Liu Li's Brilliant Sword Heart had refined the flying sword into a part of the cultivator's body. The human and sword exchange was as natural as raising a hand or a foot, and it would not cause any excess magical power fluctuation.
However, the flaw was that the connection between the human and sword was too close. Once this point was caught, it could be traced back to her. Secondly, if one wanted to leave an illusion of Liu Li in Moon Capital, in order to delay the time as much as possible, it was necessary to leave a powerful enough immortal sword. Considering the distance and other factors, only Skybreaker could take on this heavy responsibility. However, to leave an immortal sword in Moon Capital, the loss was too heavy. Moreover, the Skybreaker had long been an inseparable part of Liu Li. Once it was taken away, at least half of Liu Li's cultivation base would be wasted. Therefore, when the illusion was broken, Liu Li had to immediately swap the two flying swords, replacing the one that was the least involved with the other.
However, in front of Moonless, no matter how mysterious this magical ability was, she would still be able to catch some clues. With Moonless' temper, she would definitely take action in anger, and with the ability of a Deity Stage cultivator, taking the enemy's head from thousands of miles away was as easy as flipping one's hand … Therefore, Wang Lu told Liu Li to prepare the substitute sword in advance, so that at the critical moment, she could sacrifice a flying sword in exchange for her own life.
The result was as expected. After changing back the Skybreaker, a bolt of lightning fell from the clear sky. Were it not for Wang Lu's early preparation and promptly escaping with Liu Li, the two of them would have been seriously injured by this bolt of lightning.
After this lightning strike, presumably, Moonless herself would be even more annoyed, because her original intention was not to kill the two of them with the lightning strike, but to seriously injure them. Then she would personally come along with the lightning strike to capture the two of them and bring them back to Moon Capital to inflict eternal torture on them. However, the result was that Wang Lu and Liu Li were not hurt by the lightning strike. Moonless' lightning strike only smashed Liu Li's flying sword, but failed to leave any mark on the two of them. Right now, Moonless could at most carry out a carpet search through the location of the lightning strike, but it was impossible to specifically search for people.
Because Wang Lu and Liu Li had left the boundary of the Palace of Heaven and entered the scope of Sky City.
Moonless had great authority in the Palace of Heaven, but it could not be substituted in Sky City. This central city of Heavenly Earth carried the highest authority of the Temple of Heaven. Among the Nine Heavens, Chengtian was at the top, while Shentian and the other five lived in Sky City. There were at least dozens of vassal lords like Moonless in Sky City, and Moonless was definitely not the most outstanding among them.
Therefore, Wang Lu did not worry that after entering Sky City, Moonless would have the ability to wantonly search for him and Liu Li.
After all, Moonless' status as a vassal lord was too special. Not to mention that she was just a Harmonious Heaven Stage, even if she was promoted by one stage, it was impossible for her to act recklessly in Sky City. Once it attracted the attention of Chengtian, Moonless' throne as a vassal lord would be removed in minutes.
"So … for the time being, we are safe. Liu Li, during this period of time, I will help you heal … and then, let's go through the King Pill tribulation together. "
Liu Li nodded with a pale face. The girl's face was often full of smile, but at this time, it was replaced by a depressed look. He saw that Liu Li's eyes were without light and her lips were pale. Obviously, her spirit was injured.
This was also the price of escape. Even after so many preparations, in the end, the two of them still paid a considerable price. The flying sword that Liu Li refined into her body was crushed by Moonless and struck by lightning. For her, it was no less than having her two arms cut off. Although she was prepared, the injury was still not light. More importantly, Liu Li was now in the last period of Core Nourishing Stage before the King Pill tribulation. Although the loss of these two flying swords was still within the bearable range, it greatly shook her Jade Mansion, causing the highly condensed Xudan to show irregular tremor.
The King Pill tribulation might not be suppressed anymore.
In order to achieve the King Pill tribulation, Liu Li's early preparation was very adequate. Whether it was the level of method, magical power reserve, or state of mind, all of them could be said to be perfect. As long as the opportunity came, she could achieve a perfect breakthrough in one fell swoop. However, such a deep accumulation had actually somewhat gone beyond common sense. If it were someone else, with half of Liu Li's accumulation, it would be impossible for them not to break through. The reason why Liu Li was able to suppress her stage to the present was thanks to her special physique of Brilliant Sword Heart.
However, in Moon Capital, the successive battles allowed her to gain rich experience, and then she was continuously shaken by Moonless. Finally, she was somewhat unable to suppress it anymore.
With the girl's qualification, there was no bottleneck in achieving the King Pill. If she wanted to achieve it, she could do it at any time. However, at this time, she was seriously injured. If she achieved the King Pill in this situation, then the King Pill would be incomplete, and her previous hard work would be in vain. Therefore, Wang Lu must take Liu Li into the city as soon as possible to heal her injury. Healing in the wilderness was simply courting death. Even if Moonless didn't dare to act rashly in the Sky City, it was easy to secretly capture two King Pill level cultivators in the outskirts.
—
The process of entering the city was smoother than expected. After paying the basic entrance fee and showing the token obtained from the Temple of Gorgeous Town, Wang Lu took Liu Li into the central city of the Heavenly Earth, which was exactly the same as the last time Wang Lu came alone.
It seemed that Moonless didn't infiltrate her forces into the Sky City, which was barely good news … Of course, it was also possible that after Moonless calmed down, she let her people secretly monitor the Sky City, and when the preparation was complete, she would strike like thunder … However, Wang Lu couldn't care less.
After entering the Sky City, Wang Lu soon found a high-priced training room for rent. The inside was rich in spiritual energy and had a complete set of medicinal pills — although only relatively speaking. Compared to the training room on the Brilliant Peak of Spirit Sword Mountain, this place was far inferior, but it could barely meet the needs of Liu Li. Moreover, Wang Lu had no room to be picky.
In the next three days, Wang Lu tried his best to help Liu Li suppress the King Pill and treat her injury. Although he didn't deliberately cultivate the healing immortal method, in any case, he still had the cultivation base of the middle-level King Pill, so he quickly helped Liu Li stabilize.
A few days later, Liu Li began to cross the King Pill. The process was orderly and soon on the right track. It was estimated that in ten days, she would be able to perfect the pill.
This King Pill was not easy to achieve. Once the pill was formed, its quality would probably be unprecedented, comparable to Wang Lu's King Pill that condensed two great immortal level methods.
Wang Lu was quite looking forward to this.
However, during the condensing of the King Pill, Wang Lu couldn't stay in the training room, so as not to disturb the other party with his own power. Therefore, Wang Lu stood guard outside the door. His Non-Phase Sword Defense propped up a faint curtain of light, which excluded all possible interference.
On the third day, Liu Li has reached the final step of condensing her golden core. A perfectly round golden core has been formed in her Jade Mansion. She only needed to perfectly combine it with her body and primordial spirit, and then it would be a success.
Wang Lu had been maintaining his Non-Phase Sword Defense outside the training room for three days and three nights, so he was slightly tired. However, thinking that Liu Li was about to condense the pill, his faint excitement made the tiredness not worth mentioning.
As the saying goes, the closer one gets to the last step, the more careful one must be in all aspects. If something went wrong in the final stage of the King Pill fusion, it would be too late for regrets.
Thinking to this, Wang Lu took a deep breath and supported his Non-Phase Sword Defense a bit more firmly … In this way, after no one knows how long, he suddenly felt two scorching eyes coming from a distance.
Wang Lu immediately turned his head, but he only saw a row of snow-white walls.
The training room he rented was in a secluded corner on the outskirts of Sky City. Most of the surrounding buildings were empty. They were tall and mighty, but no one lived there. This was a typical planning error of Sky City. However, it was safer to use this place as the place for Liu Li to condense the pill. In the past few days, he had lit up the sword light of his Non-Phase Sword Defense day and night, but no one noticed it. However, unexpectedly, at the critical time, it attracted other people's attention.
Wang Lu focused his eyes. His eyes penetrated through the layers of buildings and saw that a few miles away, a woman in a splendid dress was looking at him with surprise and joy. Her eyes also penetrated through the layers of obstacles.
The woman looked elegant and generous. Her eyebrows were raised, showing a bit of heroic and forthright spirit. Wang Lu felt that she was quite familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.
And at this time, the woman's figure flashed and directly crossed several miles and appeared in front of Wang Lu.
The speed of her figure greatly surprised Wang Lu, but what surprised him even more was what followed.
"I can't believe you're here!"
As soon as the woman opened her mouth, all the hair on Wang Lu's body stood up. Because this voice couldn't be more familiar. Just a few days ago, the owner of this voice was the enemy that he focused on.
It was the master of Palace of Heaven, Moonless Harmonious Sky!
In an instant, Wang Lu didn't have time to think too much. He didn't have time to think about why Moonless would appear here at this time, why the half skeleton half beauty would suddenly restore the left half of her body, and why she dared to find trouble with him in Sky City at this time … In a flash, a moment of delay was enough to be fatal.
Wang Lu immediately channeled his Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword Qi, ready to erupt his full power … Although in front of a Daoist Master of Deity Stage, such power was probably insignificant, he had to buy time for Liu Li!
However, Moonless's action was far faster than him! The speed of a Daoist Master of Deity Stage was too fast, even faster than Wang Lu's thought. While the Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword Qi was still brewing in the King Pill, Moonless had already rushed over, and then …
Then, with a few words, she shocked Wang Lu so much that he forgot to resist.
"Sister Wu, I missed you so much."
