Bang!
A large hand covered in scars pressed against the ground, stirring up fine dust and smoke. However, the determination it contained seemed to surpass the surging torrent of mud.
Li Qingshan, who was so heavily injured that he couldn't move, actually sat up. His body was covered in scars, but he was flowing with seven-colored splendor.
Gu Yanying was slightly taken aback. She felt her waist tighten.
The moment before they were engulfed by the landslide, a tornado roared and swept them up into the night sky.
Li Qingshan stood on the tornado with his legs between his legs. His long hair danced like ink as he gazed into the distance. He could see mountains and rivers spanning thousands of kilometers. The valley below had already been completely filled with rock, almost becoming their burial ground. The starry sky was vast, possessing a splendour that rivaled the nine provinces.
"Is the enemy this time the heaven?"
The sorrow of parting turned into fighting spirit. How could I be the type to moan and lament?
Gu Yanying looked up, and her heart trembled slightly. He was still the same person!
The rolling smoke and dust dispersed, and Li Qingshan slowly descended. His legs gave way, and he half-knelt on the ground. His injuries were far from fully recovered.
Gu Yanying hurriedly helped him up and asked curiously, "What kind of power is this? It can actually surpass the laws of the world?"
"Divine Talisman of Great Creation."
Li Qingshan opened his palm, and a colorful and magnificent talisman with flowing splendor floated above it. It was the core of the school of Novels' power — Divine Talisman of Great Creation.
In the crater, he tried all the powers in his body one by one, and finally found that this almost forgotten Divine Talisman of Great Creation was still flowing with splendor.
Although it was also suppressed by the laws of the world and could only manifest the methods of Qi Practitioners, it could not break through the invisible boundary of this world. But it was enough.
"I almost forgot that you're from the school of Novels. I understand now. So it's the power of faith."
Gu Yanying understood a little. The power of faith was an extremely special power, and the most common was that of Buddhist believers. No matter what world they were in, as long as they prayed sincerely, they could communicate with the gods and buddhas.
However, if it was used as a cultivation method, it would be too troublesome to gather, and it was not very useful in battle. Moreover, it was a consumable item. Therefore, very few people would take this path. At most, they would use it as a form of support to refine one or two treasures, such as the golden seal in the hands of the various Prefecture Overseers. If they were to fall into such a small world … It was also impossible for him to activate it.
In this respect. The School of Novels was indeed a weirdo.
"Consider yourself lucky to have met me!"
Just Just Now That Mountain-Shattering Scene. Being treated as an enemy by the world was definitely not just bad luck. But wherever there is a possibility of danger, there will definitely be danger. When encountering a mountain, it would collapse. If one went out during a thunderstorm, one would definitely be struck by lightning. If one did not have enough strength, one would not even be able to survive for a day.
If Gu Yanying was alone, she would have lost her life here.
"As long as there's life, there's hope!" Gu Yanying patted Li Qingshan's shoulder with a serious expression.
"It's too cold. I have no interest in dying in the same year, month, and day as a humorless woman like you."
"Of course it's best if you don't die. How are your injuries?" Gu Yanying raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"At least I won't die." Li Qingshan moved his limbs and activated the Divine Talisman of Great Creation to continue healing his injuries. He reached out and touched Gu Yanying's head. Light flowed between his fingers.
"What a useful ability, but you better use it sparingly. I'm afraid we'll be trapped for a long time."
Gu Yanying took off the bandage. Her injuries had healed, and her mind was much clearer. Although it was not a serious injury, she had no doubt that if it was not treated in time, it would still cost her life.
"You're right. I still have ties. It's not just Little Ann. There are still all sorts of grievances that have yet to be settled. I have to return to the nine states. How long will it take for you to completely refine this Kun Peng feather, accept its inheritance, and bring us back to the nine states? "
"It's hard to say. This world is really too small. It has restricted all of my power. I'm afraid I was stronger than I am now when I was born. Even if you gave me an artifact now, it would be difficult for me to refine it, let alone this Kun Peng feather."
Gu Yanying also frowned. Her current situation was really not much better than an ordinary person's. It was difficult for an individual to fight against the world, even if it was a small world.
"As expected of the unlucky ones in hell. Things never go well."
"I think this is the luckiest place. Think about it. If we were in a bigger world, what would happen? If we were in a world bigger than the nine states, what would happen? "
"That's true!"
If the world was a little bigger, it would not be as simple as just restricting power. Instead, it would be directly bombarded by heavenly thunder and earthly fire.
If they were in a world as big as the nine states or even bigger, they would have attracted countless experts when they descended from the sky. Not only would they not be able to keep the Kun Peng feather, their lives would also be in danger.
It was because this world was sufficiently weak that no one could react even after they descended for so long.
"It's really too weak. Could it be that they came on horses?"
Li Qingshan did not think that he had guessed correctly. There was a large group of people coming here.
"Actually, I have a feeling that it brought us to this small world because I thought about this when I crossed the void. I told you before, it likes me. As long as we can escape from here, I will definitely be able to refine it. "
"Without the Kun Peng feather, how can we escape from here? If you can really control it with your will, why don't you want to return to the nine states?" Li Qingshan questioned.
"Uh, of course, all of this is just my guess. It might not be accurate."
Gu Yanying said seriously. In fact, if they wanted to keep this Kun Peng feather, returning to the nine states would not be as safe as staying here. The fall of the meteor was too eye-catching.
"I can trust you. Give it to me!" Li Qingshan extended his hand to grab the Kun Peng feather.
"Hey, what are you doing? That's mine …" Gu Yanying struggled as hard as she could, but how could she resist Li Qingshan's brute strength? He forcefully pried her hand away and took the Kun Peng feather away. She could not help but widen her eyes and call out, "Li Qingshan!"
"How is it?" Li Qingshan fiddled around with the Kun Peng feather and tried to power the Divine Talisman of Great Creation to analyse it. Sure enough, although it resonated with the "phoenix" slightly, it was greatly rejected by the spirit turtle, ox demon, and tiger demon.
This made sense. The most powerful bloodlines had always been difficult to fuse with one another. The images of the remaining four transformations of the demonic and divine did not contain the Kun Peng.
"If you're done looking at it, give it back to me!" Gu Yanying made her way over. She was rather nervous.
Li Qingshan's heart skipped a beat. No matter how graceful and composed he was, it was just because he had not encountered anything important.
He called out, "You short-sighted woman. The Kun Peng feather is so extraordinary, yet you actually treat it as a regular arcane artifact or arcane treasure. If it possessed intelligence, it would definitely fly into a rage. Your strength might have been restricted, making you feel like you're extremely weak, but in the eyes of the owner of the feather, is there really such a great difference between your strength and weakness? "
Gu Yanying shuddered. Suddenly losing all of her strength made her feel unprecedentedly weak. Now that she heard what Li Qingshan said, she suddenly felt like she had seen a ray of light.
"In the past, you were a frog in a well. Now, you've just become a worm at the bottom of a well. And when an eagle soars through the sky, probably even the well won't notice it." Li Qingshan fiddled with the Kun Peng feather in his hand with certainty. "If there really is a legacy in there, then the standard it uses to evaluate the successor definitely won't be strength, but something else!"
This was something he had personally experienced. An Oxen had accompanied a mountain boy for his entire childhood, and it wasn't because he was very strong.
"You're … right!"
Gu Yanying's eyes sparkled, filled with undisguised admiration. Even when he saved her life Just Now, she wasn't this excited. She cupped her hands and said, "Thank you. In the end, my vision is still too narrow, and I take my own strength too seriously."
"Deal with it as soon as possible!"
"Of course!" Gu Yanying couldn't wait to take the feather from Li Qingshan's hand.
"Back to the original question. I hope to return to the Nine Prefectures as soon as possible," Li Qingshan said.
"Now, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first? I'll tell you the bad news first! It took us across the void, and it consumed its own strength. Although it's slowly recovering in a way that I can't understand, it's really very slow. I'm afraid it'll take a hundred years! "
"A hundred years!" Li Qingshan frowned.
"Or two hundred years. We have to accumulate enough strength for the next time we cross the void."
"Then what's the good news? Wait, I got it! "
Li Qingshan suddenly understood. The flow of time between a big world and a small world was different, and the difference could even be very big. "A day in the Heavens is a year on the Earth" was also very normal.
According to the clues left by Brother Ox, the time ratio between the Nine Heavens and the Nine Prefectures was very likely to be ten years for one day. The time ratio between this small world and the Nine Prefectures might not be that big, but it was definitely not small either.
A hundred years was not a long time. In fact, it was only equivalent to a closed-door training in the Nine Prefectures.
"Although this world imprisons us and wants to destroy us, it has given us the most precious time! I need time to obtain the inheritance of the Great Roc, and you also need time to sharpen your mind. After all, your cultivation speed is too fast. Those so-called geniuses spend a thousand years to achieve it, but you only used a tenth of it. However, some things can't be made up with talent. "
"That is indeed good news!"
Li Qingshan nodded. Gu Yanying's words were very reasonable. Many times, an advantage was also a disadvantage.
Mind, comprehension, and experience might sound illusory, but they had a great impact on a cultivator. The so-called "bottlenecks" basically all stemmed from these internal reasons.
Back then, the Clam King of Mirage Sea's great dream had benefited him greatly. Speaking of which, it was actually quite similar to his current situation. He had also lost all his strength and experienced all kinds of pain and setbacks. That was still a dream, but he was now facing a real world, so the comprehension he gained would definitely be deeper.
