Li Jie frowned and looked at his mother. He was a favored child of heaven, but unfortunately he had to have such a mother.
"Okay! This is my plan. Kill Li Xiao!"
"His foundation is at its weakest right now. No one inside or outside the dynasty will speak up for him. I doubt the emperor will cause too much commotion over his death."
Faced with his mother's hysteria, Li Jie had no choice but to compromise. He said a few words and left.
Even though this was his biological mother, he was unwilling to communicate with her too much unless necessary.
Li Xiao was led by Zhou Xuan into a very remote courtyard in the imperial city.
It is quiet here, but it is not luxurious at all.
The courtyard is not too big. The only highlight is a huge willow tree, so big that it looks like a forest.
It is really incomprehensible that a prince would live in such a dilapidated house.
What's even more bizarre is that after a quick investigation, Li Xiao found out that the original owner of the house should be a woman.
Although there is no pink or colorful decorations, it is very elegant and tranquil, and many details of life are still preserved intact.
"It seems that your emperor has absolutely no intention of recognizing me as his son!"
"That's fine! If we can find peace and quiet here, then we'll stay here first!"
"If even this request cannot be met, then I will flee the Nine Flame Dynasty."
Li Xiao smiled and spoke in a half-joking tone.
"Young Master!"
Zhou Xuan was speechless and could only stand aside with his head down.
"Uncle Zhou! We are dependent on each other! I have some benefits here that I want to give you! How much you can get depends entirely on your luck."
Li Xiao glanced at him. In fact, at this time, Zhou Xuan had completely become Li Xiao's personal property.
In the world of cultivators, no one would treat Zhou Xuan as a human being, but rather as their vassal.
But Li Xiao is a time traveler, and he has the basic qualities of a modern person, so he is still polite to Zhou Xuan.
But in fact, in front of Li Xiao, Zhou Xuan had already lost himself and could not resist any of his arrangements.
"yes!"
Zhou Xuan was shocked, and his face was full of anticipation.
He belongs entirely to Li Xiao and doesn't mind taking any benefits from him.
"Let's go to the quiet room for retreat!"
Although this place is not luxurious enough, it has all the necessary functions, especially the quiet room for retreat, which is guarded by a very powerful formation.
Li Xiao directly channeled out his sea of spiritual energy and let Zhou Xuan devour it.
"Is this a transmission of power? How can I devour the Young Master's own spiritual energy?"
Zhou Xuan was a little confused and felt that Li Xiao was simply crazy for cultivating him in this way.
"Stop talking nonsense! Devour it with all your strength!"
Li Xiao snorted, called Tianya, who had also entered the sea-entering realm, and began to practice in meditation.
The sea of spiritual energy in his body gradually took shape, and it really became an ocean, ten thousand kilometers, one hundred thousand kilometers...
When the diameter reached one million kilometers, Li Xiao also reached the limit of the sea-entering realm.
"boom!"
A sound like the creation of the world was heard, and the entire sea of spiritual energy collapsed rapidly. In just a few breaths, it smoothly condensed into a small world.
Then, this small world turned into an energy imprint in the shape of a small tripod, quietly rose up and condensed on Li Xiao's forehead, and then disappeared without a trace.
The realm of Juding has been achieved!
"I didn't expect that I could advance on my own without using the system! Moreover, I should be the strongest Juding master in history, right?"
Li Xiao was pleasantly surprised. What others called the Ju Ding was actually just a term. There was something that could condense and carry the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, something equivalent to a human organ that he had cultivated himself!
But he is different. His small tripod truly contains an ocean of spiritual energy!
"boom!"
The endless ocean of spiritual energy suddenly began to fluctuate violently, and with an incredible momentum, it madly poured into the small tripod.
At this moment, Li Xiao's speed of absorbing spiritual energy increased by more than ten thousand times!
And this is the mystery of the Juding realm!
In order to help human practitioners speed up the absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, an organ that humans did not originally have was specially cultivated!
In the ancient cultivation world, such means would be called supernatural powers!
In that era, supernatural powers were innate, and the resources of the cultivation world would decline, but the cultivation techniques were constantly improving and perfecting!
This Ju Ding realm is something that has never existed before!
Ten days passed quickly, and Li Xiao's small tripod contained an entire ocean of spiritual energy, which gave him the illusion that he was a perpetual motion machine.
During this process, Zhou Xuan also enjoyed huge benefits. He used endless spiritual energy to temper his body, allowing him to successfully enter the seventh level of the imperial realm!
"Because of the existence of the Ju Ding realm, the gap between each small realm from this step onwards is simply unimaginable!"
Li Xiao opened his eyes and sighed. What he said was mainly referring to others, and he himself was naturally an exception!
"Yes! No matter how evil a being is, once they reach the Ju Ding realm, it will be impossible for them to fight against higher-level enemies!"
"Those who can surpass a small realm are also known as the One-Shining Heavenly Pride!"
"This person represents the sun, moon, and stars, shining brightly across the world!"
Zhou Xuan also sighed. He was already considered a super genius, otherwise he would not have achieved the emperor realm.
But along the way, he has never been a brilliant genius.
"With your current foundation, you can definitely strive to become a second-level genius."
Li Xiao laughed and joked, this was actually the truth.
They were huddled here to practice in seclusion, unaware that something big had happened in the outside world.
"Are you sure you want to do this? Li Xiao originally had nothing to do with you, and you've already done a lot. Don't you want to stop?"
Duanmu Rui, the Sword Saint of the Nation, frowned as he looked at the only disciple he valued, the Third Prince Li Sheng, who was also recognized as the most talented young man in the entire Jiuyan Dynasty.
He didn't originally have this name, but when he was eight years old, it was identified that he had extraordinary talent and was destined to enter the holy realm, so the dynasty ancestor personally gave him this name!
"Master! Fifth Brother has always been steadfast in following me, and I've already given so much. I just can't bear to let him go!"
When Li Sheng was young, he possessed terrifying strength, so although he was the third prince, he looked like a young boy of about thirteen years old.
He smiled bitterly and continued to be determined to deal with Li Xiao.
"Okay then! Since you already have a complete plan, I'll help you this time!"
Duanmu Rui looked at Li Sheng's young face. He looked a little dazed, as if he saw the old friend.
So, even though he knew it was nonsense, he still agreed.
