Chapter 587: Suffocating Frustration!
The Demon Cloud Battlefield is fifty thousand light-years away from the Suixing Battlefield; even at the speed of light, it would take fifty thousand years to fly there, showing just how vast the distance is.
If it were the previous Li Xuanfeng, crossing such a vast distance would have taken half a month.
But now, with his strength skyrocketing, his control over spatial power has become even more formidable. Even though this ability is significantly suppressed within the Endless Void, his speed has reached a whole new level.
Following the directional guidance of the boundary gate token, two streaks of light—one golden and one cyan—sped forward, rushing toward the location of the Demon Cloud Battlefield.
Along the way, Ye Qingqing took the initiative to communicate with Li Xuanfeng via Divine Sense, sharing their insights and realizations regarding the Dao of Body Refining.
Li Xuanfeng possessed the world's strongest Physique—the Primal Chaos Body. His Chaos Golden Bone contained infinite mysteries; every transformation not only made his Physical Body stronger but also allowed him to experience the wonder of his physical form constantly approaching a certain Origin of the Great Dao. Thus, Li Xuanfeng naturally had his own unique insights into the Dao of Body Refining.
These unique insights often provided Ye Qingqing with inspiration, allowing her to gain new realizations about the Dao of Body Refining. These new realizations were then returned to Li Xuanfeng after being multiplied by the System.
Continuing in this cycle, Ye Qingqing discovered that she and her Junior Brother actually had endless topics to discuss regarding just the Dao of Body Refining. Her Junior Brother understood her perfectly; many of his insights went straight to the core, and a few casual words from him would give her a sense of sudden enlightenment.
Ye Qingqing could only sigh that they had met so late, regretting why she hadn't communicated with her Junior Brother like this when they first met.
Li Xuanfeng could also clearly feel the changes in Ye Qingqing's emotions. The more the Senior Sister talked, the more excited and hooked she became, to the point where she didn't even notice that the way she looked at her Junior Brother was undergoing a certain mysterious change.
Li Xuanfeng was happy to let it be.
Back then, when he was deducing the Void Great Dream Art with Lian Yuezhou, he had used this same method: passing the realizations returned by the System to Lian Yuezhou to prompt her to generate new insights, which would then be returned to Li Xuanfeng, who would continue to pass the returned insights back to Lian Yuezhou… This created a very positive cycle, causing their understanding and realizations of the path of cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.
Now, a similar scene was playing out again.
Ye Qingqing specialized in the Dao of Body Refining. Initially, she cultivated the technique passed down to her by Lian Yuezhou, but later she forged her own path of cultivation. However, the path ahead was shrouded in mist, requiring her to constantly grope her way forward.
Every bit of mist that cleared meant her subsequent path of cultivation became a bit clearer.
Communicating with Li Xuanfeng was equivalent to accelerating the rate at which the mist cleared. Ye Qingqing seemed to see a straight Great Dao extending from beneath her feet, only to be shrouded in mist again far in the distance.
As the mist continued to clear, she would eventually see the end of this road—the Great Emperor!
“Junior Brother's Comprehension Ability is truly astounding!”
Ye Qingqing turned her head to look at Li Xuanfeng, who was flying side-by-side with her, thinking secretly to herself. That handsome profile actually caused a different kind of ripple to stir in her heart.
Ye Qingqing was obsessed with the Dao of Body Refining, wanting to break all laws with pure strength to prove her Dao and reach the position of Great Emperor; she naturally couldn't muster much interest in other matters.
What Dao Companions, what Dual Cultivation? How could they compare to the Supreme Dao!
Therefore, like Lian Yuezhou, Ye Qingqing not only kept her Primordial Yin intact, but her experience in matters of the heart was also zero.
In the cultivation world, many male Cultivators gathered vast harems with many wives and concubines, and many female Cultivators would also keep male pets and favorites.
However, there was no lack of Cultivators who chose to remain single to single-mindedly pursue the Dao, and the number of such Cultivators was quite large.
Lian Yuezhou and Ye Qingqing were both among them.
For Ye Qingqing, there was no male Cultivator who could keep up with her pace, and even fewer who could converse with her so congenially regarding the Dao of Body Refining as Li Xuanfeng did.
On the path she was most interested in and had spent the most time immersed in, meeting someone who understood her so well naturally caused ripples to unknowingly rise in Ye Qingqing's heart, which had been calm for countless years.
As someone who had been through this before, Li Xuanfeng could easily sense the changes in Ye Qingqing from her tone and micro-expressions. If they continued like this, developing to the point of Dual Cultivation was only a matter of time.
With Ye Qingqing's cultivation at the Quasi-Emperor Fourth Heaven, if he could help her break through to the Quasi-Emperor Fifth Heaven through Dual Cultivation, Li Xuanfeng would receive unimaginable benefits. Such a harvest would be second only to Dual Cultivating with Lian Yuezhou.
Patrolling the various Void Battlefields with his Senior Sister was precisely an opportunity to enhance their feelings for each other… in the cold and pitch-black void.
An incredibly massive mass of cloud and mist floated there. The main body of the cloud was blackish-gray, interspersed with purple and red lights, looking somewhat eerie from a distance.
Drawing closer, one could discover that the cloud was composed of three special energy substances. These energy substances were in a gaseous state, so they looked no different from clouds and mist.
However, the energies were closely linked to each other; they would not disperse, let alone disappear.
The diameter of the cloud reached one light-year. This was one of the Earth-Grade Void Battlefields—the Demon Cloud Battlefield.
This battlefield had been controlled by Foreign Races for a long time until the second-ranked Grand Sage of the Eastern Profound Domain, the Demonic Evil Grand Sage, took action, successfully conquering it and guarding it ever since.
Now, no traces of Formations being activated could be seen on this battlefield, nor could the aura of any living beings be sensed. The thick cloud and mist had a very strong isolation effect.
Passing through the layers of cloud and mist to the very center of the Demon Cloud Battlefield, one could see a burly man with long hair draped over his shoulders. His body was rippling with black Holy Power, and his limbs and neck were locked by Divine Power chains, firmly imprisoning him.
The man's bloodshot eyes stared fixedly through his hanging long hair at the mass of writhing flesh in front of him.
That mass of flesh was extremely bizarre, pink in color, looking like a mountain of meat formed by the corpses of various creatures whose bones had been extracted and then melted with acid.
The meat mountain had no fixed shape, only writhing incessantly. One moment it looked like a horse, the next like an ox, then a tiger, then a Dragon… After writhing for a long time, it finally underwent a transformation, turning into a burly, long-haired man in human form, identical to the man locked by the Divine Power chains. The only difference was that he was rippling with Divine Power.
“The Eastern Profound Domain is truly inefficient. Seven days have passed, and no one has come to save you. Are they unable to get away, or have you been abandoned?”
“The second-ranked Grand Sage of the Eastern Profound Domain should at least be of some use, right? They just discarded you like this?”
The burly man rippling with Divine Power fluctuations said as he looked at the burly man held by the chains.
However, the latter only stared fixedly at the former with bloodshot eyes, without saying a word.
It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but that he had no way to open his mouth.
This Foreign Race being, who had transformed into his likeness, had placed restrictive chains on both his Divine Sense and his voice.
This fellow's behavior was very strange; while he would strike up a conversation from time to time, he simultaneously restricted him from speaking. He wanted to speak but couldn't, and his Divine Sense couldn't transmit sound either; it felt like he was being intentionally made to suffer from bottled-up frustration.
The Demonic Evil Grand Sage was indeed suffering from frustration. As the second-ranked Grand Sage of the Eastern Profound Domain, when had he ever encountered such a humiliating scene?
The Foreign Race being before him was a Quasi-God King; even if he exhausted all his strength, he could not resist.
Quasi-God Kings usually do not appear in Earth-Grade battlefields, yet this Foreign Race being had appeared in the Demon Cloud Battlefield. This indicated that the Foreign Races did not lack Quasi-God Kings in the Heaven-Grade battlefields. The situation in the Canglan Realm was truly becoming more and more difficult.
