"Fellow Daoist Lan is truly intelligent. I came here today to ask for your help. "Liu Ming's eyes flashed and he said indifferently.
"Fellow Daoist, please tell me. If there's anything I can help you with, I'll do my best to help." Lan Si sat down beside Liu Ming and smiled sweetly.
The two of them had become much closer over the past few days.
"I'd like to trouble Fellow Daoist Lan Si to ask your clan to help me gather some methods to break through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm," Liu Ming said bluntly.
Lan Si smiled wryly when she heard this.
"I know that this matter is somewhat extravagant, but I don't ask for anything definite. I only want some clues and rumors. As for the rest, I'll think of a way. "Liu Ming continued without waiting for Lan Si to speak.
"If it's just gathering some information, it won't be difficult. I'll immediately send a message back to the clan, but the timing isn't good. Our Bluewood Clan has also been implicated in the war. It may take some time before we can give Liu an answer. "Lan Si's expression relaxed slightly.
"War?" Liu Ming was startled and asked in confusion.
"Could it be that Fellow Daoist doesn't know? The Azure Snake and Shadow Wolves of the Eight Savage Clans have joined forces to attack the Heavenly Fox Clan. "Lan Si looked at Liu Ming in surprise and revealed the earth-shattering news.
"There's such a thing?!" Liu Ming was shocked.
"It's been two days since the news reached Luo City. It seems that Fellow Daoist Liu Ming has been in seclusion in his cave residence for the past few days and hasn't heard any news," Lan Si said.
"Does Fellow Daoist Lan know the current situation of the war?" Yaoji's figure appeared in Liu Ming's mind and he couldn't help but speak with concern.
"According to the news from the clan, the Profound Enlightening experts of both sides have fought several times and both sides have suffered casualties. However, the Heavenly Fox Clan is fighting one against two and is in an extremely disadvantageous situation. Even the Myriad Wave Temple has been besieged by the Azure Snake and Shadow Wolves. However, some important figures have broken through the siege and escaped. Three of the eight clans have launched this war. Now, not only is the Heavenly Fox Clan's sphere of influence filled with the flames of war, the situation of the entire Wasteland Continent is extremely turbulent. Even Luo City has been greatly affected … "Lan Si sighed and said with some worry.
Liu Ming wasn't in the mood to listen after hearing that the Myriad Wave Temple had been besieged.
"Fellow Daoist," Liu Ming asked without hesitation, he asked without hesitation.
"I don't know either. The situation within the sphere of influence of the Heavenly Fox Clan is unstable, and there are very few sources of information. Is there anyone in the Heavenly Fox Clan that Fellow Liu knows?" Lan Si was a little confused. When she saw the faint worry on Liu Ming's face, she suddenly remembered that when Liu Ming came to Luo City that year, he had asked her many things about Princess Yao Ji.
"No, I was just asking casually. Since the Heavenly Fox Clan is second only to the Blood Vine Clan among the eight savage clans, even though they were besieged by two clans, they shouldn't lose too badly." Liu Ming realized that he had lost his composure for a moment, so he regained his composure and said.
"I hope so," Lan Si slowly said.
"Since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. I'll leave the matter to you, Fellow Lan." Liu Ming stood up.
Lan Si did not ask him to stay. She personally sent Liu Ming out of the firm.
After leaving Bluewood Trading Company, Liu Ming walked around Luoyang City for a while. Sure enough, the Fey cultivators everywhere were discussing the war between the three races. Most of the Fey cultivators were worried. Of course, there were also some Fey cultivators who were gloating over the chaos.
Liu Ming inquired about Yaoji in several places that sold information, but he still didn't get any definite news about Yaoji. However, it was true that the Heavenly Fox Tribe was defeated.
He didn't stay in Luoyang City for long. Soon, he returned to the Small Universe Cave Abode with a heavy heart.
In the living room of the cave abode, Liu Ming paced back and forth. His expression kept changing.
After a while, he let out a long sigh. He suddenly stood still with a determined look on his face.
Since the Heavenly Fox Tribe was in trouble, Yaoji, as the young master, would definitely be involved in the war. No matter what, he felt that he had to find Yaoji.
However, his current strength was obviously not enough!
In the war between the three clans, there were several almighty cultivators in the Mystic Enlightening realm. Even if he, a cultivator of the Jin Dan Realm, went there, he would be like an ant jumping into a giant whirlpool. Not only would he be unable to control the situation, but he would also be easily swallowed up.
The most important thing now was to advance to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm as soon as possible!
He didn't know how much time it would take to collect other auxiliary methods to advance. However, he now had the Luo Suo Fruit, the Scarlet Scorching Pill, and the Cold Whale Fragrance. In addition to his mental strength and repeatedly purified magic power, he should have a thirty to forty percent chance of successfully breaking through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
Thoughts flashed in Liu Ming's mind. He gritted his teeth and decided to forcibly break through.
However, breaking through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm would cause too much commotion. It was obviously not suitable to do it in the Small Universe Cave Abode. He had to find another secluded place.
Liu Ming pondered and immediately began to prepare in the cave abode.
When Qian Ruping learned that Liu Ming was preparing to break through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, she was naturally shocked. However, she knew that it was useless for her to follow him. Instead, she might be a hindrance. After handing over two sets of specially refined formation tools to Liu Ming, she silently prayed and waited in the secret room.
After preparing for a while, Liu Ming left the cave abode and walked quickly toward the east of the city. Soon, he was out of Luo City and came to the Endless Sea.
The vast and boundless sea lay in front of him. Liu Ming waved his hand and a purple sword light lifted his body and flew in a direction.
He already had an idea about the place where he would practice in seclusion. It was the small island where he killed the Cold Whale.
It was shrouded in thick fog all year round and was located in a remote location. Generally speaking, no one would come here. Moreover, during his previous exploration, he accidentally discovered that there was a rather good hidden spirit vein under the island. Otherwise, the Cold Whale would not have built its nest there.
Liu Ming was afraid that someone would follow him. He circled around the sea for a few days and finally arrived at the nameless island.
The white fog still shrouded the entire island. Although he had been here once, it took him some effort to find the location of the island.
He carefully explored the vicinity of the island and did not find any trace of cultivators. It seemed that the previous battle did not attract the attention of other cultivators.
However, this made him feel more at ease. After circling the island a few times, he immediately chose a hidden mountain wall and began to break the mountain to open up a temporary cave abode.
He did not plan to live here for a long time, so he did not make any elaborate carvings. In less than an hour, he had dug out several stone rooms.
After doing this, he set up a formation near the cave abode.
These two sets of formations were personally refined by Qian Ruping. One was a defensive formation, and the other was an illusion formation.
After burying the formation flags and formation discs of the two sets of formations near the cave abode, the fog around the island gathered and completely buried the island in the depths of the white fog.
The illusion formation refined by Qian Ruping had the effect of concealing the Divine Sense. Even if someone accidentally came here, it would be difficult to find the existence of the island.
After Liu Ming finished all this, he hovered over the island for a while, then nodded with satisfaction and landed back into the cave abode. He raised one hand, and a black light flew out of the gourd on his waist and turned into a black veiled girl. It was Scorpion.
"Scorpion, I am going to retreat and start to break through the bottleneck. Everything here will be handed over to you. If there is any abnormal movement, I allow you to kill immediately without asking!"
"Master, rest assured!" Scorpion heard these words and agreed without thinking.
Liu Ming nodded and walked into the deepest secret room of the cave abode. He waved his hand and launched several techniques to open the nearby defensive enchantment.
In the white fog around the island, a blue water wave light appeared, covering most of the mountain wall where Liu Ming's cave abode was located.
This set of formation was water attribute. With the help of the endless water vapor in the Endless Sea, it was enough to resist the attack of any Jin Dan Realm cultivator. Coupled with Scorpion's garrison, he was completely relieved.
At this moment, Liu Ming suddenly frowned. He flicked his hand on the Sumeru Ring, and a white formation disc appeared. A white light flew out from it and went into Liu Ming's eyebrows.
A message emerged in his mind, but it was sent by Lan Si. Unfortunately, it was not good news.
In the message, Lan Si mentioned two methods that could help break through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, but they were similar to rumors.
One was about the Thunder Crane Clan in the extreme north of the Wild Continent. Rumor had it that there was an Energy Melting Thunder Pool in the Crane Valley where the clan resided, which had the miraculous effect of cleansing the marrow.
The other method was about a secret realm in the Wild Continent called the Mirage. It would appear in the Wild Continent every thousand years or so. Rumor had it that there was a miraculous thing called the Sweet Malt Wood in the secret realm. It had incredible miraculous effects. Not only could it revive the dead, but it was also extremely useful for breaking through to the next realm.
After reading this message, Liu Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Putting aside the Energy Melting Thunder Pool of the Thunder Crane Clan, even if it existed, they would not lend it to an outsider like him for no reason.
As for the Mirage secret realm, Lan Si's message mentioned that the last time it appeared was more than 600 years ago. If he wanted to enter, he would have to wait for at least another 300 years. Moreover, the location of the Mirage secret realm could not be determined at all. Everything depended on luck.
At this moment, Liu Ming's heart had completely calmed down, and he no longer had any extravagant hopes.
He replied to Lan Si's message and put away the Communication Array Disc.
Half a month later, Liu Ming had been adjusting his breath and meditating in the secret chamber, adjusting his mental state and supernatural power to the best state. Only then did he take out the Luo Suo Fruit, the Scarlet Scorch Pill, and the Cold Whale Incense with a flick of his sleeve.
He first ignited the Cold Whale Incense, and a faint fragrance immediately filled the entire secret chamber of the cave abode.
As Liu Ming smelled the fragrance, he felt the distracting thoughts in his heart slowly begin to reduce. He was instantly delighted, and he had more confidence in the effects of the Cold Whale Incense.
With another wave of his hand, the Scarlet Scorch Pill turned into a red light and flew into his mouth in a flash, entering his stomach through his throat.
He slowly circulated his supernatural power, and a thick mass of it enveloped the Scarlet Scorch Pill, and he began to refine it.
