"The belly of the Mountain Devouring Beast is sealed. Even if you use the Earth Escape Talisman here, you can't escape from its belly." Li Yi explained when she saw that she was puzzled as to why the talisman was not used now. Li Yirou's expectant expression dimmed.
"But when it is expelled from its body, it will not pay special attention to the tail. That is our only chance!" He asked Li Yiru to take the time to rest for a while and then continue to climb to the top of the mountain, because this mountain-devouring beast starts digesting and absorbing from the foot of the mountain.
Li Yirou didn't know that she had only one such chance in her life, and she had to fight to make shit in order to survive. It was really fate that played tricks on her.
She explored the mountain with her spiritual sense. The spiritual plants on it were tilted here and there, and several demonic beasts had been shaken and fallen, and were scrambling to climb the top. This made Li Yirou worried. Could they really escape from here?
Fortunately, there was still a chance. The digestion time of mountain-devouring beasts was very long, some even taking ten years. Perhaps they could wait until the secret realm closed in three months and be automatically released? Li Yirou expressed her idea. As long as they could hold on for three months!
But Li Yi's expression did not relax at all. "We are in its belly, and we may not be discovered and kicked out by the secret realm."
"Don't worry, I will do my best to get you out." Li Yi pulled her and continued to climb up.
Contrary to what Li Yirou thought was a slow digestion, this mountain-devouring beast would start to shake the mountain every half an hour. Its digestion was to crush the entire mountain, and the further down it went, the stronger the crushing force became.
Li Yirou saw it repeatedly crush the unnecessary things into strips, and after it digested the entire mountain, it would excrete the waste in a unified manner.
Not knowing whether it would exert pressure again when it was discharged, Li Yiru did not dare to rush into the pile of earth and rocks. She decided to observe from above first before making any decision.
As the Mountain Devourer digested the mountain, the shaking and vibrations sometimes caused monsters to fall. Those that fell to the bottom were crushed into slag, their spiritual energy dissipating.
Li Yirou guessed that Li Yi wanted to climb to the top of the mountain, where it would be safer and he could practice. As they climbed, they had to be careful of the earthquakes caused by the Mountain Devourer's digestion.
The two of them pulled each other upwards, even having to fight any monsters they encountered. Perhaps because this mountain wasn't outside the secret realm, the monsters they encountered were beyond Li Yirou's ability to handle, so Li Yi almost always had to face them head-on, with Li Yirou assisting from the side.
Even though he had a high level of cultivation, he hadn't rested since entering the range of the Mountain Devouring Beast. He had to carry Li Yirou on his back all the way, and he had to face three ferocious monsters. The small figure was still gritting his teeth and persevering, but Li Yirou knew he was exhausted.
"I'll set up a formation to assist you." Li Yirou stood in front. A rope had been tied between them. It was taken out by Li Yi and was very strong. This time, it was Li Yirou's turn to drag Li Yi.
"You... aren't you tired?" Li Yi's voice was suddenly choked with sobs. Fang Ye's cultivation was so low, yet he was still persisting. He must also hold on!
Finally, they were about to reach the summit. But then, she noticed five demonic beasts on guard. They were communicating with each other, guarding the summit, and any demonic beasts that came up would be eaten.
Any monster that is too powerful will be driven away by them together.
"Don't go, let's stay here for a while." Li Yiru couldn't speak the animal language that the strange fire translated for her, so she could only pull Li Yi to rest not far from the top of the mountain for a while.
They had concealment talismans on their bodies, and Li Yiruo set up a formation. She then dug a hole and used the formation to support it to resist the impact of the shaking.
"Okay." This time Li Yi didn't ask why. He was already very tired and couldn't hold on any longer. He slumped there and tried to recover his spirit.
Although he had a splitting headache, he really wanted to chat with Fang Ye at this moment. "I have always believed that spiritual awareness is not very useful. It will naturally increase with the improvement of cultivation. There is no need for additional training."
"It's only after meeting you that I realize how useful spiritual awareness can be." Li Yirou nodded in agreement. "It is useful, but it's still not as good as a high level of cultivation."
Speaking of spiritual consciousness, she seemed to have felt a stirring in her mind once again, much to her surprise. This time, it seemed to be a spiritual sword.
What exactly does this mean? How could someone's spirit transform twice, with two patterns existing simultaneously within it? Perhaps her talent is her spiritual awareness. But no matter how strong her spiritual awareness is, she can't defeat others.
Li Yirou didn't want to share her unusual situation with others. She also couldn't confirm the spiritual pattern, so it might just be a flash and not actually appear. Besides, the situation was urgent, and she wasn't in the mood.
"Take a break. We're fine for now, you're just too tired." Li Yi's condition wasn't great either, so Li Yirou made him a cup of tea to help him relax and recover. He was incredibly tense and stressed out at the moment.
Even if you might die, you cannot be defeated before the danger actually comes.
Li Yi was about to continue talking, but suddenly realized it was unnecessary. Fang Ye wasn't afraid at all. He used to think that Fang Ye was too cautious, unable to take life and death lightly and move forward courageously. How could he become a true swordsman?
He was facing an unprecedented crisis. It wasn't a situation where he was suddenly faced with death in a fit of rage. It was a situation where he knew he might die, but he wouldn't die instantly. It was his first experience of being cut with a blunt knife.
He is so afraid of death. Before, he relied on a burst of madness, but when it comes to facing the death that may come at any time with clarity, he is no better than Fang Ye.
It turns out that courage isn't about knowing you'll win, but about persisting even when you know you'll fail. His state of mind changed, and his cultivation, which had been temporarily stagnant, began to loosen up at this moment.
His calmness and composure infected Li Yi, giving him a new understanding. Li Yi's spiritual platform finally began to take shape at this moment. The spiritual sword pattern with golden light became clearer and clearer. On the hilt, there was a shining golden light bead, dazzling and dazzling.
Gradually, the golden light became stable, and the spirit sword began to slowly rotate in the spirit platform.
"My spirit has also transformed." When Li Yi opened his eyes again, he brought Li Yiru a good news.
"Really? Your spirit platform must be in the shape of a spirit sword." Li Yirou was almost certain. Sure enough, in the darkness, she saw Li Yi nodded, and seemed to be worried that she couldn't see it, so she said "hmm".
He had always been calm and composed, having only recently shown a moment of panic. After transforming into a spiritual form, he seemed even more composed, possessing the aura of an old professor despite his youth.
"What's your pattern?" Li Yi asked, tentatively releasing his spiritual sense. "Don't disturb the monsters on the mountaintop." Li Yirou didn't want to cause any trouble yet, so she reminded him before answering his question, "Mine is a blue lotus."
"Blue?" Li Yi was curious. She didn't have a single water spiritual root, so why was it a blue lotus? Li Yirou was stunned for a moment before realizing she had been careless. Most cultivators' spiritual awareness also evolved based on their spiritual roots.
As expected, people tend to let things slip when they are relaxed. Li Yiru told herself to be more careful next time and was thinking about how to explain it.
