Chapter 598: Unless a God King Personally Arrives!

"Mhm."

Ye Qingqing nodded, and her vast Divine Sense spread out in an instant.

This wasn't her first time exchanging treasures in the Merit Hall, so she had a general idea of what was available.

Both the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Qi and the Canghai Snow Dragon Palace had already been taken by Li Xuanfeng. For her, the most worthwhile thing to exchange for was a Body Refining opportunity from the Xuanwu Clan.

However, this Body Refining opportunity required not only forty billion battle merit but also two additional prerequisites: first, possessing top-tier Body Refining talent within the Canglan Realm, and second, having a cultivation level no lower than the Quasi-Emperor Fifth Heaven.

"Should I trade for it?"

Ye Qingqing fell into thought.

She could easily satisfy the first prerequisite; in the entire Canglan Realm, no one had higher Body Refining talent than her, except for Li Xuanfeng.

She was still a bit short of the second prerequisite. While she possessed strength comparable to the Quasi-Emperor Fifth Heaven, her cultivation had not yet achieved a Breakthrough.

Even if she exchanged for this Body Refining opportunity now, she wouldn't be able to use it immediately.

"Without external assistance, it would probably take me another six or seven years to reach the Quasi-Emperor Fifth Heaven. If I have suitable resources, that time could be shortened to two or three years."

"I'll select some cultivation resources first. It won't be too late to exchange for this Body Refining opportunity after I've achieved a Breakthrough in my Realm."

"However, my Junior Brother will definitely be interested in this Body Refining opportunity as well. Although his battle merit is currently exhausted, he'll be able to accumulate enough in two or three years."

"The Body Refining opportunity in the Xuanwu Clan's Guixu Land is a Great Emperor's Legacy, which is extremely precious to both him and me. On the path of Body Refining, my Junior Brother's talent is even greater than mine. Should I give it up?"

In the past two years, thanks to Li Xuanfeng, her battle merit had also soared. Combined with what she had accumulated before, she had more than enough to exchange for this Body Refining opportunity.

If it were the Ye Qingqing of the past, she would have chosen to exchange for it without hesitation.

But now, she hesitated.

It was only because this Body Refining opportunity was equally important to Li Xuanfeng.

She wasn't sure if she was considering the bigger picture, thinking that giving this opportunity to Li Xuanfeng would yield greater value, or if she had an indescribable feeling for her Junior Brother in her heart.

Over the past two years, she and her Junior Brother had fought side by side, patrolling various Void Battlefields and slaying one alien after another.

Just discussing their insights and understanding of the path of Body Refining provided them with endless topics of conversation.

Ye Qingqing not only felt that she and her Junior Brother coordinated perfectly in battle, but in terms of cultivation insights, it was as if she had met the soulmate of a lifetime. A sentiment she had never felt before had long since secretly sprouted in the depths of her heart.

"Forget it!"

With a soft sigh in her heart, Ye Qingqing's Divine Sense spread toward other light orbs.

A short while later.

Ye Qingqing had made her choice.

She did not choose the Body Refining opportunity in the Xuanwu Clan's Guixu Land, but instead selected a top-tier Medicinal Pill and a Sacred Fruit condensed from an Undying Medicine.

Both treasures were specifically for increasing cultivation and cost Ye Qingqing over one hundred trillion battle merit.

"Senior Sister, are you not choosing the Xuanwu Clan's Body Refining opportunity?"

Li Xuanfeng was somewhat surprised.

Although the Body Refining opportunity in the Xuanwu Clan's Guixu Land was precious to him, if Ye Qingqing used it, the benefits could actually be maximized, since Li Xuanfeng would receive a return.

It was just that if he exchanged for it and used the System to trigger a return again, he could obtain an even higher multiplier.

If Ye Qingqing exchanged for it herself, the return Li Xuanfeng received would certainly not be bad either.

"I'll think about it later,"

Ye Qingqing said with a smile, without telling Li Xuanfeng that she wanted to leave the opportunity for him.

"Master, please help me retrieve them."

Ye Qingqing took out her token.

Lian Yuezhou gave Ye Qingqing a deep look, then couldn't help but glance at Li Xuanfeng. She didn't say much and followed the previous method to retrieve the two treasures from the Merit Hall.

With the Medicinal Pill and Sacred Fruit in hand, Ye Qingqing would be able to step into the Quasi-Emperor Fifth Heaven once she finished refining them.

She still had a lot of battle merit left and planned to see what she needed after her Breakthrough. It wouldn't be too late to exchange then; after all, the battle merit required for top-tier resources was enormous, and most Quasi-Emperors couldn't afford them even if they wanted to.

Buzz!

The entire hall vibrated once more as the Merit Hall faded away and all the light orbs disappeared. The East Xuan Hall returned to its original appearance.

"Since you've exchanged for everything you need, Fenger and Qinger, take some time to rest and then set out for the East Sea Frontier Post."

"Compared to the leisure we have here, things are becoming increasingly difficult at the East Sea."

Lian Yuezhou said as she looked at her two Disciples.

"Alright!"

Li Xuanfeng and Ye Qingqing nodded simultaneously.

The East Sea Frontier Post and the East Xuan Frontier Post were adjacent Boundary Passes, but the distance between them was exaggeratedly large.

The Thirty-Six Heavenly Star Field Grand Array enveloped the Canglan Realm like an eggshell. The distance from the Canglan Realm to the Formation's barrier was ten million light-years, meaning the radius of this spherical grand array was ten million light-years.

The sheer scale of the grand array barrier's area was evident!

The nine Boundary Passes were distributed across nine weak gaps in the grand array barrier. Even for adjacent Boundary Passes, the distance was despairingly vast.

Even with Li Xuanfeng's current strength, it would take a very long time to reach the East Sea Frontier Post on his own.

To arrive quickly, one had to rely on the power of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Star Field Grand Array itself. This array was precise, complex, and powerful, with spatial teleportation nodes connecting the Boundary Passes. As long as there was enough power to activate them, personnel could be transported quickly.

When the grand array was first set up, the need for mutual support between the Boundary Passes had been taken into account.

Li Xuanfeng and Ye Qingqing were in no hurry to depart.

The three of them stayed in the East Xuan Hall together, discussing cultivation, the Alien Races, the Mole among the Supreme Experts, and the situation at each Boundary Pass for a long time.

Half a month later.

Li Xuanfeng and Ye Qingqing finally decided to set out.

"Once you leave, you will no longer be within my protection. Everything else will depend on you, Fenger!"

Before they left, Lian Yuezhou spoke as she looked at Li Xuanfeng.

By now, both Lian Yuezhou and Ye Qingqing knew that Li Xuanfeng possessed the Heaven-Defying ability to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, allowing him to predict outcomes before acting.

However, the East Sea Frontier Post was not Lian Yuezhou's territory. If they encountered any danger, she wouldn't be able to provide immediate support.

The reason she dared to let Li Xuanfeng and Ye Qingqing go together was also because she considered that Li Xuanfeng could avoid danger in advance.

"Unless a God King personally arrives, nothing can affect me."

Li Xuanfeng gave a confident smile.

Before doing anything, he would first check the changes in his fate color through the System. If it was unfavorable, he would first simulate various choices until one of them caused his fate color to return to normal.

The Alien Races were trying everything to capture him alive, and it was still undecided which Supreme Expert in the Canglan Realm was the Mole. Once he left the East Xuan Frontier Post and lost Lian Yuezhou's immediate protection, it would be dangerous for Li Xuanfeng.

Without the System's ability to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, he naturally wouldn't recklessly head elsewhere.

By going to assist the East Sea Frontier Post, Li Xuanfeng could accumulate battle merit, and according to Lian Yuezhou, the other party would certainly provide some compensation.

The strongest power in the East Sea was the Dragon Clan.

The Dragon Clan was one of the oldest existing races in the Canglan Realm. Legend had it that Great Emperors had appeared in their history. Even though they were far from their former glory, their heritage would certainly not be poor. At least in terms of treasures, the Dragon Clan was among the best in the entire Canglan Realm.
