Chapter 559
by fanqienovelChapter 559: This Distance is Wrong
When Li Xiaojun received Liu Hongxia’s emergency call, he was transforming a life planet.
“Dad, three Golden Immortal beasts are attacking me, and one of them is at great perfection in the Golden Immortal Realm. I can’t handle it alone, so I hope you can help me,” Liu Hongxia said to Li Xiaojun.
Hearing Liu Hongxia’s words, Li Xiaojun thought for a moment and decided to teleport Li Bai over.
At that time, Li Bai had reached the Early stage Taiyi Golden Immortal level, catching up to his biological father, Li Xiaojun.
If he went over, he could just solve Liu Hongxia’s problem.
“Dad, I can’t leave right now. You should go there yourself,” Li Bai’s voice came through.
Li Xiaojun was stunned to hear Li Bai’s words; he did not expect Li Bai to refuse him.
“What’s going on? What is keeping you from leaving?” Li Xiaojun asked Li Bai.
“Dad, I’m currently in the Demon Realm and have entered a remarkable place…”
“You’re in the Demon Realm?” Hearing Li Bai’s words, Li Xiaojun quickly opened the system map.
However, upon looking, he found that Li Bai was not even in the Demon Realm and was far away from it.
According to the latitude map calculated on the system map, Li Bai’s location was light-years away from the Demon Realm.
“Are you sure you’re in the Demon Realm?” Li Xiaojun asked with a furrowed brow.
During the conversation, Li Xiaojun directly teleported to Liu Hongxia’s side.
When he arrived, he waved his hand and eliminated the three Golden Immortal beasts attacking Liu Hongxia.
After finishing all this, he teleported away again.
The entire process took less than a minute.
Throughout the whole process, Li Xiaojun continued to communicate with Li Bai.
“Dad, I really am in the Demon Realm. I disguised myself and came here decades ago.
A few years ago, I suddenly discovered an unusual place—a place sealed by a Spatial Formation.
I exerted a lot of effort to break the formation and arrived in a peculiar space a few days ago.”
“In this space, I found a liquid gathered from innate spiritual energy that is even more advanced than spiritual energy…”
Hearing Li Bai’s words, Li Xiaojun felt somewhat speechless and quickly asked Li Bai, “Is the Spatial Formation you discovered like this…”
Then, Li Xiaojun described what the Spatial Formation looked like.
“How do you know this, Dad?” Li Bai was very surprised. “Have you discovered it already?”
“I hadn’t discovered it early! Because that Spatial Formation was set up by me,” Li Xiaojun replied with frustration.
“Ah? It was set up by you?” Hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Li Bai suddenly realized he had made a big mistake.
“Did you completely destroy the formation I gave you?” Li Xiaojun asked Li Bai.
“Um, it’s completely destroyed. If I hadn’t comprehended the rule of space, I wouldn’t have been able to enter,” Li Bai told Li Xiaojun.
“Well, Dad, I didn’t know this formation was set up by you. If I had known, I definitely wouldn’t have destroyed it.”
“It’s fine. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have known how far that space is from the Demon Realm.”
Li Xiaojun said, and his figure vanished once more.
When he reappeared, he was already in the Demon Realm.
Before long, he arrived at the place where he had previously set up the formation.
At that moment, because Li Bai had destroyed the formation, strands of innate spiritual energy were now emerging here.
Fortunately, the demon tribe did not discover this situation; otherwise, he would likely have attracted their attention while trying to seal off the area again.
Li Xiaojun quickly arranged a Taiyi Realm Formation nearby, shrouding and shielding the entire area.
Then, he used his divine sense to probe into a space crack.
His divine sense extended through the space crack for less than a hundred kilometers and soon discovered Li Bai’s figure.
At that time, Li Bai was not within the range of his previous formation but was at the position where the black long spear had once been.
“Dad? Did you come?” Li Bai sensed Li Xiaojun’s divine sense and quickly asked.
“I’ve come to clean up your mess,” Li Xiaojun replied, not pleased.
However, at that moment, Li Xiaojun’s thoughts were not focused on Li Bai.
He was calculating the distance between himself and Li Bai on the system map.
In Li Xiaojun’s divine sense perception, he was only about a hundred kilometers away from Li Bai.
However, the system map showed that he and Li Bai were at least a hundred billion kilometers apart.
Such a vast distance exceeded the observable universe’s 96 billion kilometers as recorded by Earth scientists.
Even with Li Xiaojun flying at over three thousand times the speed of light, it would take him over thirty million years to cover that distance.
Yet now, this distance appeared to be only a hundred kilometers in his divine sense perception.
This situation truly puzzled Li Xiaojun.
There were only two possible explanations: either the system map was incorrect, or they really were that far apart and Li Xiaojun’s cultivation level simply couldn’t comprehend it.
“Dad, this place I’m in is very strange. It’s filled with an energy that is even more powerful than innate spiritual energy, but this energy is extremely violent and can’t be absorbed. Even a Taiyi Golden Immortal here can’t gain any spiritual energy replenishment…”
At that moment, Li Bai said to Li Xiaojun.
Hearing Li Bai’s words, Li Xiaojun immediately understood what he meant.
He was referring to chaotic spiritual energy.
“Wait for me a moment; I’ll seal this place with a formation and then come find you,” Li Xiaojun said to Li Bai.
After that, he began to set up a sealing formation again.
Once the formation was completed, Li Xiaojun started to drill through the space crack towards Li Bai’s location.
However, soon he discovered that the space crack was too small for him to pass through.
This space crack was smaller than a needle’s tip, and countless chaotic spiritual energies blocked his way.
Moreover, he found that the space here was particularly solid, and he couldn’t expand the space crack even with all his might.
This situation made it very difficult for Li Xiaojun to enter through the space crack, like trying to row a boat upstream.
“Li Bai, how did you get in here?” Li Xiaojun asked.
He had previously tried to enter through the space crack but found it impossible, so how had Li Bai managed it?
“I don’t know; when I destroyed the formation, I suddenly appeared inside it and went through a spatial passage to get here,” Li Bai answered Li Xiaojun.
Upon hearing Li Bai’s words, Li Xiaojun pondered but was still uncertain.
“Could it be because of destroying the formation?”
“How did you destroy the formation?” Li Xiaojun asked Li Bai.
“I just did it like this… and then like this…”
After listening to Li Bai, Li Xiaojun followed his method and began to destroy the formation.
However, once the formation was destroyed, Li Xiaojun still remained in the Demon Realm and did not enter that space.
“Dad, just teleport over directly; why bother with how to get there?” Li Bai said to Li Xiaojun.
Hearing Li Bai’s words, Li Xiaojun nodded, “You’re right; I can just teleport over.”
No matter how Li Bai got there, he was already there, which provided Li Xiaojun with a teleportation coordinate.
Li Bai’s location was full of chaotic spiritual energy, and he could gather a large number of chaotic spirit stones using system space.
This way, he wouldn’t have to worry about the energy needed for the next upgrade of his system.
Before long, after repairing the sealing formation, Li Xiaojun directly chose to teleport.
