Chapter 455: Chapter 251: The Situation in the Spiritual Realm! The Crisis Begins to Surface!_2

Mo Qingyan smiled gently, her eyes brimming with tenderness.

Feeling that her words were too direct, a blush crept onto her cheeks.

Lu Li smiled faintly, then swiftly changed the subject.

"What exactly do the Stealing Heaven Alliance have in mind?"

He had always been very wary of that group, having experienced their methods firsthand when he was at the Golden Core stage.

They were not much different from the madmen of the cults he had encountered before.

"Alas... those people are nothing but a bunch of pitiful creatures."

Mo Qingyan sighed softly.

Lu Li looked puzzled, but he wasn’t in a hurry to speak; instead, he quietly waited while sipping on the Spiritual Tea.

After a moment, Mo Qingyan spoke again, "The entire Spirit Realm was created by a powerful being from the higher realms, with the World Crystal Core intact, surrounded by a Big Formation that isolated it from the outside."

"Until tens of thousands of years ago, there was an issue with the Array, and the ancestors gathered the top powerhouses of the Spirit Realm to reseal the Array."

"However, before this, someone breached the Array, snatched a trace of the world’s source, and broke through to Divinity Transformation. Amidst the relentless pursuit and assassination attempts by many powerhouses, they left this realm..."

Her voice was wistful as she disclosed ancient secrets to Lu Li.

Lu Li’s expression grew stern upon hearing this.

He had not expected that such a shocking event had occurred in the Spirit Realm during ancient times.

Typically, the world’s source fades after the creation of a world.

However, since this realm was artificially created, it could be unique.

Obviously, some cultivators had harbored thoughts they should not have.

The temptation of the world’s source was not something all cultivators could resist.

At this point, Mo Qingyan continued, "You also know that the path of the Earth Immortal is flawed, not only is it extremely difficult to advance, but even lifespan is not infinite."

"Some cannot even endure a hundred thousand years before their Daoist hearts collapse."

"Tens of thousands of years ago, those who were about to face the Five Decays of Heaven and Man came together to form the Stealing Heaven Alliance, aiming to snatch the world’s source, break through in cultivation, and leave this realm."

"Some who opposed them seized this opportunity to form the Spirit Cloud Alliance, and there were other neutral forces, thus shaping the entire political landscape of the Spirit Realm."

"If the world’s source were to be taken entirely, wouldn’t the Spirit Realm collapse immediately? At that time, all beings would perish."

A glint of cold light flashed in Lu Li’s eyes.

At this stage with his cultivation level, he was not yet capable of freely traveling through the myriad empty worlds.

If the Spirit Realm were to collapse, he too would be left with nowhere to go.

Not to mention his parents, kin, and Daoist partner.

This was something he absolutely could not accept.

It was unthinkable that those people were so heartless and ruthless, utterly disregarding the countless lives of the entire Spirit Realm.

Just for their own selfish desires, they wished to snatch the world’s source.

"What’s the current situation? Has the Stealing Heaven Alliance made any progress?"

Lu Li’s gaze flickered slightly.

"Alas... the top Big Formation, after tens of thousands of years of operation, has also revealed flaws and needs cultivators to maintain it constantly..."

Mo Qingyan uttered a soft sigh.

"Not only that, but even within the Spirit Cloud Alliance, some powerful members have started to disagree, and I don’t even know who can be fully trusted. You must be extremely cautious with anyone you come in contact with."

Lu Li nodded in understanding.

Under such life-or-death crises, it was difficult for any cultivator to maintain their true nature; this was also within his expectations.

Even himself, facing the end of his lifespan, his heart would likely waver.

The greatest fear for a cultivator is facing death, and given the slightest chance at life, they would seize it with all their might.

According to Mo Qingyan’s account, the situation in the Spirit Realm was already quite perilous.

Perhaps at the next moment, a great decisive battle could erupt.

As for the enemy, it might not just be the powerhouses of the Stealing Heaven Alliance.

Thinking of this made Lu Li feel a sense of urgency.

With his current strength, facing a devastating battle that could sweep across the entire world, he was far from sufficient.

He must start to make all-out efforts to break through in his cultivation; only by reaching the Nascent Soul Peak could he begin to have a preliminary impact on the outcome of the war.

At this moment, Lu Li suddenly remembered a critical question.

With a concerned expression, he asked, "How much longer can your Daoist heart last?"

He knew that Mo Qingyan had lived for nearly a hundred thousand years.

Even if she was not one of the oldest in the Spirit Realm, she was not far off.

Mo Qingyan smiled sweetly, a sudden warmth rising in her heart.

"Don’t worry, I have cultivated a Secret Technique, and as long as my mind does not fluctuate intensely, I can persist for tens of thousands more years."

"For the time being, I cannot be your Daoist partner."

Her tone was playful, and she gave Lu Li a charmingly mischievous glance.

"Then, as your husband, I shall collect some interest first."

Lu Li’s heart relaxed as he gently took Mo Qingyan’s soft hand into his own and held her in his embrace.

Feeling the fragrance emanating from her, his spirit was calmed.

Mo Qingyan’s face flushed red, but she did not resist.

Their affection for each other was already very deep, and such contact became something she gradually got used to.

She twisted her waist and said with a smile, "After this incident, Zhou Shenyuan and his companions are probably well-prepared. It’s too risky to force our way into their Grotto Heaven now."

Lu Li nodded in agreement.

He remained silent, waiting for her to continue with her plans.

He knew Mo Qingyan was not someone who would take a loss lying down.

Sure enough, his guess was soon confirmed.

After a while, Mo Qingyan spoke with an icy tone, "They can’t possibly stay together all the time. Once things have settled down, I will immediately summon Daoist friends and strike into the Grotto Heaven."

"Do you have a specific target in mind?"

Lu Li tightened his grip, a smile on his face.

"Pick the softest persimmon to squeeze first, let’s kill one to relieve the hatred in our hearts."

Mo Qingyan’s pretty face held a hint of fierceness.

"It’s easier for news to leak with more people. In any case, there’s no hurry for now. Wait until I break through the late Nascent Soul stage, and we can act together."

A light sparked in Lu Li’s eyes.

He was very supportive of the idea of revenge.

As his intended Daoist couple, Mo Qingyan had suffered repeated attacks. If he did nothing, it would likely be detrimental to his Daoist heart.

He had to severely punish the audaciousness of the Stealing Heaven Alliance.

Now, with an Immortal Mansion at his disposal, his cultivation was sure to advance by leaps and bounds.

Since acquiring the Immortal Mansion, he hadn’t explored it thoroughly, yet even the outer spiritual objects of the other halls had greatly benefited him.

Mo Qingyan, touched by his words, also had a moved expression on her face.

For Lu Li to support her without hesitation was within her expectations.

They had been together for many years, and she had long understood his character.

"Don’t worry, I will only invite one friend."

"Your cultivation is advancing so fast, are there any hidden dangers?"

She rested her cheek gently on Lu Li’s shoulder, her voice laced with a hint of doubt.

"It’s of no concern."

Lu Li smiled faintly, not bothering to explain further.

Then the two of them embraced in silence, gazing at the beautiful scenery outside the hall until deep into the night before they each rose and departed.

Lu Li walked into a secret chamber and sat down cross-legged.

With a thought, he took out the Immortal Mansion and placed it in the center of the room.

As mana was gradually invoked, the entire Immortal Mansion rapidly expanded, transforming into a structure several zhang high, glittering with golden light in the void.

"Swoosh..."

He rode on tunneling light, directly crossing the threshold and entering the Immortal Mansion.

As soon as he entered the grand hall of the Immortal Mansion, he saw the Spirit Monkey ancestor standing in the center with a smile on his face.

The other was clad in a green robe, appearing somewhat endearing.

"You’ve come. I thought you would visit the Immortal Mansion immediately after returning to the Spirit Cloud Realm. I didn’t expect you to be so patient."

The Spirit Monkey’s voice was haunting.

It had been several years since Lu Li had obtained the Immortal Mansion.

Lu Li smiled slightly, "Can you give me a detailed introduction to the Immortal Mansion?"

He was also very curious about what kind of treasures the great being from the higher realm had left behind.

Ever since he had reached the late stage of Qi Refinement, he had been looking forward to this day.

This Immortal Mansion was his greatest harvest over the years.

The Spirit Monkey ancestor’s expression turned somewhat sorrowful, "This Immortal Mansion was indeed left by my master, mainly to search for a successor. There are some trials that I must adhere to as well, and the treasures in the peripheral palaces are the extent of my authority."

"However, as long as you pass the trials, the benefits will surely be extraordinary."

"All sorts of top-grade spiritual materials, Exotic Beast Essence Blood, World Essence, and Spiritual Treasures, everything that one could ask for."

"Trials?"

Lu Li’s face showed a hint of confusion.

He hadn’t expected the owner of the Immortal Mansion to have set up certain thresholds.

However, this was quite normal. Having endured countless years, this Immortal Mansion likely had more than just him as a successor.

The words of the Spirit Monkey ancestor that followed seemed to confirm some of his guesses.
