After dealing with the Qin family and the people from the Nine Yang Sect, Li Ming didn't rest.
Continue cultivating your inner world, for this is the foundation of your inner realm and the bridge to becoming a Martial God.
He has now refined four of the five elements of innate essence, and has no shortage of resources, in addition to the special nature of his chaotic physique.
The inner world changes every day.
The mountains are getting higher, the waters are getting deeper, the earth is becoming more solid, the vegetation is becoming more vibrant, and the stability of heaven and earth has reached a new level.
Moreover... to prevent any unexpected events during the transaction, Li Ming used his life energy, which he hadn't used in a long time, to significantly enhance his strength and prepare himself.
"Is he about to become a Martial God?"
As they sensed the increasingly intense spiritual energy, the suppressed celestial beings became more and more certain of this fact.
They all came from prestigious families and naturally knew the necessary conditions for becoming a Martial God, one of which was to evolve one's inner world to a certain degree.
The speed at which Li Ming's inner world grew shocked them all.
Especially those few experts who had reached the pinnacle of the Celestial Realm, their hearts were filled with a deep sense of defeat, and they felt what it meant to feel the gap and despair.
Xiao Ri and Qin Qianjue felt a deep sense of sorrow.
They are both outstanding young talents, so why is there such a big difference between them?
Several days later.
The Seventh Prince returned to the courtyard and conveyed the message from the Qin family and the Nine Yang Sect. Both forces had agreed to exchange resources for hostages, and to show their sincerity, they offered to have Li Ming propose the location for the transaction.
Li Ming, after a moment's thought, decided on an unexpected location.
The Seventh Prince's eyes flickered, and he hesitated before saying:
"Wouldn't it be a bit dangerous to stay here?"
Li Ming smiled:
"Danger?"
"What I want is danger. You can let them spread this news unintentionally. I think quite a few people want to know this news, and it might even fetch a good price."
"When the time comes, you also need to communicate with me about the personnel you arrange."
"this……"
The Seventh Prince still felt uneasy. Li Ming was a very important person to the Primordial Divine Dynasty and was highly regarded by his father. He dared not simply agree to such a risky move.
In their view, given Li Ming's current status and position, it was best not to take too many risks.
"I have received information that a terrorist force may make a move."
After thinking for a moment, the Seventh Prince directly revealed the information he had wanted to say for a long time.
"Oh? Which force is so powerful?"
Li Ming narrowed his eyes and began to ponder.
Many forces want him dead, but few dare to take action, and even fewer have the strength... After all, he now has the terrifying existence of the Primordial Heavenly King behind him, making him virtually invincible without the presence of a Great Emperor.
"The Burial Heaven Pavilion is an unparalleled power located in the Central Region."
The Seventh Prince looked at Li Ming with a deep, unfathomable gaze:
"Legend has it that it comes from the Nine Netherworlds, inherits from the ancient times, and is the burial place of the gods."
Burial Pavilion?
Li Ming's heart stirred, and he said, "Is that the immortal force that claims to bury the heavens, the earth, and all living beings?"
The Seventh Prince nodded and pondered for a moment:
"The Burial Heaven Pavilion has a long history, and no one knows exactly when it appeared. Some say it was a divine tomb created by the Lord of the Underworld in the ancient times, some say it was a legacy left by the ancient Killing Emperor, and some say it was a secret force created by a Holy Emperor in the Middle Ages."
Even the emperor, who was the strongest man in the world, was unaware of this secret.
Even the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion doesn't know the true location of the Burial Sky Pavilion. They say it comes from the Central Region because their people like to operate in the Central Region and have the most outposts there. In reality, the Burial Sky Pavilion's influence in the Eastern Region is not small either, and many secular assassin forces may have some connection with it.
As far as I know, the Burial Heaven Pavilion originally didn't intend to target you, but it seems someone intervened, making you their primary target for annihilation. Recently, even within the Primal God City, many officials have begun inquiring about you, wanting to know your location and the Primal Heavenly King's thoughts.
"The tomb of the gods, the legacy of the Great Emperor, the hidden power of the Holy Emperor..."
A ripple appeared in the depths of Li Ming's eyes.
Regardless of the situation, it demonstrates that the Burial Sky Pavilion has an extraordinary origin. Such a terrifying force must possess countless secrets and methods.
"This Burial Heaven Pavilion is extremely mysterious; even the ancient emperors did not fully investigate its origins."
The seventh prince frowned, as if he had remembered something.
"It is said that the Azure Emperor once personally defeated the Burial Heaven Pavilion, but he did not completely eradicate it."
So, is that still your plan?
The fact that even a great emperor like the Azure Emperor could not completely destroy this force shows just how terrifying it is.
"good."
Li Ming nodded slightly, not hiding his thoughts, and said frankly:
"My mind is made up, you don't need to worry. In any case, I will not sit idly by and wait to die, nor will I seek death. Don't worry."
Seeing that the Seventh Prince was still hesitant, Li Ming sighed slightly.
"Seventh Prince, do you know why your uncle wanted you to contact me?"
"Why?" The Seventh Prince was puzzled. His father often brought up this point, and he was also curious about how Li Ming had figured it out.
"You are too indecisive. Your Majesty must avoid this. Besides, you are not me, so how can you know my thoughts?"
Li Ming said calmly, without offering further explanation, and waved his hand, making a gesture to see the guest out.
Upon seeing this, the Seventh Prince was taken aback for a moment, then stood up, bowed slightly, and walked out of the courtyard.
The Primordial Heavenly King had previously told him to follow Li Ming's advice and to fully assist him.
Such extraordinary behavior, different from that of ordinary people, is quite normal and reasonable, and there is no need to delve into it.
Stepping out of the courtyard, he gazed at the sky with a wistful expression, recalling Li Ming's rise to power, which was indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
"In that case, let's do it this way... We can deal with any problems that arise later."
...
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
"Phew~"
In the Imperial City of the Primal Gods, in a quiet courtyard, Li Ming exhaled a breath of turbid air, mixed with a strong aura of blood.
The moment he opened his eyes, the chaotic divine light in them seemed about to burst forth and pierce through heaven and earth.
At his level, it would actually take a great deal of good fortune to advance further.
Fortunately, he had made significant progress in his physical fitness.
This time, he fully absorbed the benefits of his physical advancement, resulting in a significant increase in his strength.
However, we still need to test its effectiveness in a real battle!
"Previously, the strength of the inner world was barely enough to reach the level of an ordinary person breaking through to the level of a Martial God. Now it will be much stronger, but it is still not perfect."
A thought crossed Li Ming's mind.
"However, my strength has greatly increased. If I face Qin Tiansu again, I am confident that I can win even without using the Supreme Bone."
Of course, the most crucial thing is breaking through to a higher level.
Many cultivation techniques describe methods for breaking through to the Martial God realm. Previously, Dugu Yijian had also shared a lot of insights on breaking through to the Martial God realm with him, which were information he had collected from various places and his own summaries.
However, as someone with an unparalleled chaotic physique, he can naturally walk a different path from others.
But this path is difficult; one must hone oneself to the peak, suppress all paths with one's own power, and thus achieve ultimate sublimation, entering the forbidden realm of the gods.
Li Ming thought for a moment, and decided that if he wanted to break through, he should try to take the most difficult path and bring every aspect to its extreme.
Then take a path that no one else can take.
Otherwise, how can you stand out from others?
After calculating the days, Li Ming got up and walked out of the courtyard.
"Brother Li~"
Hearing the commotion, Lin Fan realized that Li Ming had emerged from seclusion and immediately went to greet him.
Li Ming has been diligently cultivating these days, and he has learned quite well. He is no longer as eager to improve his cultivation as before, and for some reason, he is cultivating even faster than before.
In just one month, he broke through three more minor realms.
"If you're not afraid, you can come with me for a walk."
Li Ming glanced at this younger brother who was the reincarnation of a powerful being.
This kid was too focused on improving his cultivation level before, and his haste made waste, resulting in a somewhat unstable foundation. Although he had many fortuitous encounters and good talent, and didn't lay any major foreshadowing, it still slightly affected his future potential.
However, by cultivating alongside him, he benefited from the dissipated chaotic energy, coupled with the other party's slowly awakening memories and talents, and had no shortage of resources. Not only did he solidify his foundation to an extremely high level, but his cultivation also increased rapidly.
"Don't be afraid. If we follow Brother Li, what is there to fear if we travel the world together?"
Lin Fan nodded repeatedly, afraid that Li Ming wouldn't take him along.
"Haha, I'm just afraid you'll get caught in the crossfire. You know I've offended quite a few people."
Li Ming didn't seem to mind and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, to be honest, I also have some trump cards up my sleeve."
Lin Fan scratched the back of his head and patted his chest earnestly.
As the capital of a divine dynasty, the Primal Divine City was naturally incredibly prosperous, with its various districts progressing in layers, becoming more and more prosperous the closer they were to the center of the imperial city.
Strange beasts and magical creatures roam the streets, along with vehicles made of unknown materials.
In some specially designated areas, the sounds of vendors hawking their wares rise and fall, seemingly no different from those of ordinary merchants.
However, the items they sell are mostly elixirs, pills, weapons, and magical treasures.
However, the streets are lined with tall buildings, such as the "Divine Weapon Building", "Treasure Hall", "Ten Thousand Beasts Hall", and the familiar "God of Wealth Pavilion" and "Heavenly Secrets Workshop".
Here, gold and silver are not the main currencies; instead, the special elemental crystals produced by the God of Wealth Pavilion are used as currency.
These elemental crystals are of excellent quality and contain abundant spiritual energy, making them the common currency among humans.
Behind the God of Wealth Pavilion stand many sacred sites, which is why it possesses this power.
However, Li Ming did not linger in the imperial city and continued walking outwards.
Not long after.
We arrived at the outer city area, at the Wangqing Riverbank.
The vast expanse of the river is picturesque, with the lake and mountains intertwined amidst the swirling mist, creating a serene and peaceful scene, like a stunning landscape painting, as if one were in a fairyland.
Li Ming and Lin Fan traveled eastward without rushing. Sometimes, cultivation is not something that can be achieved by shutting oneself away in seclusion. Experiencing the natural world, the seven emotions and six desires, and taking a walk in the mortal world can bring unexpected gains.
Of course, Li Ming didn't come out this time just to enjoy the spring scenery and relax.
It was a transaction.
"Let go of the distractions in your mind, and you'll see that this landscape is also a blessing."
Li Ming muttered to himself, standing on a small boat, as if he were truly on a river cruise.
"really."
Although Lin Fan didn't quite understand, he nodded, pretending to be someone who knew it too.
At this moment, a light drizzle fell, and the fog became even thicker, but my mood became even more relaxed.
Autumn has arrived, and wild geese are flying south.
The stream flows by, the rain patters like a pipa, the fallen leaves rustle, and the wind whistles in your ears.
The two strolled leisurely among the mountains and rivers, their bodies and minds becoming incredibly relaxed, as if they had let go of all grudges and affections and transcended them.
This is a kind of inner peace, and even a saint cannot maintain such a state of being without desires forever.
Martial artists are cultivators, neither immortals nor saints. They also have emotions and desires. It is always good to experience the world and its myriad things. Sometimes, comprehending the Dao in nature is also a transcendent way of cultivation, but it requires certain opportunities.
Unconsciously, Li Ming also brought Lin Fan into this state.
It was like a sudden enlightenment; his mental cultivation had unknowingly increased by several levels.
"You two gentlemen are usually very busy people, it's rare to have such a leisurely time."
The owner of the small boat, an old fisherman wearing a straw hat, said with a smile.
"Being swamped with miscellaneous matters is indeed a rare occurrence."
Li Ming said calmly, took out a pot of spirit wine, and while looking at the river view in the misty rain, he sipped the wine, feeling very content and at peace.
"Your Highness, you certainly have a refined taste. We've kept you waiting."
Beside them, a small boat slowly approached, braving the drizzle, yet not a single drop of rain fell upon it.
The newcomer was a master from the Nine Yang Sect. His name was unknown, but Li Ming could tell at a glance that he was a Martial God of the Heaven and Earth Realm, although his strength should be lower than that of Qin Tiansu.
This shows how much importance the Nine Yang Sect attaches to this deal involving the release of prisoners.
The mist and wisps of smoke made the river surface even more hazy.
Before Li Ming could even speak...
In the distance, another small boat slowly glides by, carrying a young woman dressed in green with glossy black hair. She seems to perfectly blend with the tranquility of the mountains and waters, possessing an inexplicable charm that evokes a wonderful feeling of harmony between humanity and nature.
"So you are the goddess of the Qin family. I've heard so much about you."
The Martial God of the Nine Yang Sect cupped his hands in greeting.
He hadn't expected that the Qin family would send this person.
Qin Xiran, a person with an innate Dao body, was surrounded by clouds and mist, and her figure was ethereal. Although she was standing right in front of me, she seemed to belong to a world other than the mortal realm.
This physique is much stronger than that of an ordinary innate holy body, and even stronger than that of an innate divine body in terms of enlightenment.
What's even more terrifying is that she was not even a hundred years old when she became a God of War, making her a genuine goddess.
"Your Highness, I've kept you waiting."
Qin Xiran's words were as ethereal and melodious as heavenly music. As she walked slowly across the river, a flawless goddess descended upon the mortal world.
Upon seeing the other party, Li Ming inexplicably thought of a word.
A honey trap?
Did the Qin family know they couldn't afford to offend him, so they backed down?
Or perhaps...
They have other bad intentions.
