Chapter 188: A Huge Surprise
"System, what on Earth is going on?"
This was already the three hundred and eightieth time Li Xiaojun had asked the system.
Li Xiaojun had been stranded in outer space near Earth for almost six months.
He could use his divine sense to observe everyone’s actions on Earth, but he couldn’t participate himself.
He thought about it, and if he really couldn’t find a way, he would settle on Mars for a while.
After all, there were also his fellow countrymen from Earth living there.
However, just when Li Xiaojun thought that this time the system still wouldn’t answer his question,
suddenly, the system notification sound rang out.
[System Notification: Detected a fragment of the Creation Jade Plate from the prehistoric era, the system is collecting it…]
"What, the Creation Jade Plate?"
Hearing the system’s notification, Li Xiaojun was shocked.
"Could it be that the Primordial World is real?"
Li Xiaojun felt a bit incredulous.
At this moment, he trembled with excitement.
According to descriptions of the Primordial World, the Creation Jade Plate is a treasure of chaos, renowned alongside the Pangu Axe, Chaos Qinglian, and Chaos Pearl.
Even though the system indicated it was only a fragment of the Creation Jade Plate, it was still a piece of a treasure of chaos.
"System, how long will it take to collect the Creation Jade Plate?" Li Xiaojun asked the system, feeling a surge of excitement.
[System Notification: Estimated time to collect the Creation Jade Plate is one year…]
Only a year? That was something he could wait for.
"System, is there any way I need to assist you?" Li Xiaojun continued to ask the system.
[System Notification: The host just needs to remain in this location.]
Hearing the system’s words, Li Xiaojun nodded and then sat cross-legged in outer space.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, several months went by.
On this day, Li Xiaojun suddenly opened his eyes.
He noticed that Ye Qinxian had arrived in outer space outside Earth.
"I’ve been waiting for you, come over here."
Li Xiaojun reached out his hand in a direction.
Half an hour later, a stunning woman with a look of astonishment flew quickly to Li Xiaojun.
"You, you, you, how are you here?" Ye Qinxian asked Li Xiaojun with disbelief.
She could hardly believe that Li Xiaojun would appear here.
"What’s so surprising about it?" Li Xiaojun smiled at Ye Qinxian.
"Are you tracking me?" Ye Qinxian frowned as she quickly realized.
She was certain that in this place, no one else in the entire Big Dipper Star Field could know about it besides her.
Now that Li Xiaojun appeared here, it could only mean that he had been following her all along.
What puzzled her was why she didn’t discover Li Xiaojun scanning her with his divine sense.
Usually, unless the other person is at least two major stages above, anyone could detect a divine sense scan.
For example, if Li Xiaojun were a great emperor, he would only be one major stage above her, and she wouldn’t be unable to sense his divine sense scan.
If Li Xiaojun’s divine sense scanning couldn’t be detected by her, then he must be an Immortal.
Li Xiaojun is an Immortal? Could that be possible?
In the Big Dipper Star Field for hundreds of thousands of years, not even a single great emperor had been born, let alone an Immortal.
"Ye Qinxian, how did you know about this place?" Li Xiaojun asked her.
"Why should I tell you?" Ye Qinxian replied, somewhat annoyed.
She hadn’t expected that she’d run all the way to this land devoid of spiritual energy to get away from Li Xiaojun’s control, only to still be pursued by him.
At that moment, Ye Qinxian felt very discouraged.
"If you don’t tell me, then I will have to use the Soul Searching technique."
Li Xiaojun’s face turned serious, and his tone became very calm.
Hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Ye Qinxian’s expression changed, and she hurriedly said, "But I’m carrying your child…"
"So what? I want to know the answer," Li Xiaojun replied lightly.
After hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Ye Qinxian hesitated for a moment before revealing what she knew.
Previously, when Li Xiaojun had used the Soul Searching technique on her, he roughly scanned some of her memories. However, he hadn’t uncovered the memories Ye Qinxian had intentionally hidden.
Thus, the Soul Searching technique is not always foolproof.
Because if there is someone skilled in countertechniques, they can completely simulate a false memory for you to see.
Through Ye Qinxian’s explanation, Li Xiaojun finally understood why she knew about this place.
Ye Qinxian, during the Integration stage, had entered a great emperor’s tomb.
Inside the great emperor’s tomb, she found a note left by that great emperor.
In the note, the great emperor described an incident that happened during his Great Ascension stage when he was pursuing a Beast King. A powerful attack opened a space crack.
He then entered the space crack and discovered a star field devoid of any spiritual energy.
Afterward, the great emperor quickly opened the space crack to leave that star field.
After experiencing this, the great emperor recorded the incident in his notes and marked the stellar coordinates.
After reading the notes, Ye Qinxian also decided to try going to the coordinates marked by the great emperor.
With her Integration stage cultivation level, she barely managed to open a space crack and entered the place described by the great emperor.
Later, she discovered Earth and lived there for a period of time.
She found that in this star field devoid of any spiritual energy, she could not contact the outside world.
Moreover, as time passed, her cultivation level began to decline, though the decrease was not significant.
However, if cultivators stayed there for hundreds or even thousands of years, their true essence would surely be completely consumed.
Of course, this would be different if there were a large number of spirit stones for replenishment.
Ye Qinxian had stayed on Earth for decades.
After being captured by Li Xiaojun previously, she thought that her only chance to escape his control was to enter this star field devoid of spiritual energy.
As long as she arrived here, all restrictions Li Xiaojun had placed on her would become ineffective.
And with the passage of time, those restrictions would quickly dissipate due to the lack of spiritual energy!
If she could survive here for several decades, then when she left, she would be a free person again.
However, despite her plans, she completely overlooked the fact that Li Xiaojun was a powerful being in the Heavenly Immortal realm, and she couldn’t possibly escape his tracking.
"Ye Qinxian, tell me, how do you want me to deal with you?"
After listening to Ye Qinxian’s story, Li Xiaojun said coldly to her.
"Li Xiaojun, can you please let me go? Think about the child…" Ye Qinxian looked at him with a pitiful expression.
"Not possible."
Li Xiaojun shook his head.
In his mind, he was considering how to deal with Ye Qinxian.
Since Ye Qinxian dared to run away, a punishment was necessary.
However, because she was carrying his child, the punishment couldn’t be too severe.
In the end, Li Xiaojun thought of a solution.
