Chapter 243: Finally Out
A few hours later, Shu Zilan looked at the seven high-grade spiritual items on the ground, unsure whether to cry or laugh.
Seven high-grade spiritual items were equivalent to seven hundred low-grade spiritual items, or seventy thousand superior grade spirit stones, and they represented hundreds of years of her non-stop mining.
The price she paid for these seven high-grade spiritual items was merely spending one night with a stranger.
In the end, the man even revealed a secret to her: the stones she mined were immortal essence stones used by immortals for cultivation, worth a hundred times more than superior grade spirit stones.
After storing the seven high-grade spiritual items, Shu Zilan decided to mine some more immortal essence stones and then escape with the loot.
Unfortunately, the storage bags provided by the mining site had very small capacity, likely to prevent her from leaving the secret realm in such a manner.
Moreover, the mining site required that miners hand in their stones once a month, with a quota that could not be too low, probably to keep them from taking the immortal essence stones out.
Just as Shu Zilan decided to mine some more immortal essence stones before making her getaway, Li Xiaojun had already approached another fairy in a different tunnel.
After some forced and some trade-oriented exchanges of positive energy, Li Xiaojun continued searching for his next target.
Months later, all the female cultivators in the immortal essence stone vein fell victim to Li Xiaojun’s schemes.
However, most of the female cultivators were happy and did not make a fuss about it.
This was mainly because Li Xiaojun gave them far too much.
For them, seven high-grade spiritual items were extremely valuable, but to Li Xiaojun, who had raided the Daizong Secret Realm for over a hundred years, this amount barely scratched the surface.
While in the Daizong Secret Realm, Li Xiaojun spread positive energy while unknowingly seizing countless resources from the beast tribe.
Now, these resources were being utilized by him.
Months later, Li Xiaojun quietly left the mining site and began his widespread dissemination of positive energy throughout the Nine Li Secret Realm.
Even the female cultivator who had registered him when he first entered the secret realm didn’t escape Li Xiaojun’s grasp.
While Li Xiaojun was spreading positive energy in the Nine Li Secret Realm.
At the Saint Goya Cultivation Alliance.
Autumn Rain Star.
Within the immortal formation.
That day, Li Xiaojun’s daughter, Li Xinxin, born with Ni Xiaotang, initiated a conversation with him.
"Dad, most of our younger siblings have broken through to the Tribulation stage. When can we go outside?" Li Xinxin asked Li Xiaojun.
"Most of them have broken through to the Tribulation stage?" Li Xiaojun was surprised.
"Yes, out of more than fifty thousand younger siblings, over thirty thousand have reached the Tribulation stage," Li Xinxin nodded.
"Wow, that’s a lot of breakthroughs to the Tribulation stage. Alright then, I’ll teach you how to break the immortal formation right now."
Li Xiaojun did not expect that most of the children born after he left the Cultivation Alliance had already broken through to the Tribulation stage.
However, it made sense, considering over a thousand years had passed.
In this time, Li Xiaojun had poured most of the cultivation resources he obtained from the Immortal Realm into these children.
So, it was only natural for them to break through to the Tribulation stage.
Soon, Li Xiaojun transmitted the control method of the immortal formation to his daughter, Li Xinxin.
Within the immortal formation.
After receiving the method to control the immortal formation from Li Xiaojun, Li Xinxin excitedly said to her mother, Ni Xiaotang, "Mother, Dad gave me the method to control the immortal formation!"
"Great! We can finally leave this damned formation," Ni Xiaotang replied, also feeling thrilled.
"Hurry, teach me how to control the formation."
"Okay, Mother."
Before long, Li Xinxin taught Ni Xiaotang how to control the formation.
Once Ni Xiaotang learned the method, she immediately left the immortal formation.
In the sky above the formation, Ni Xiaotang gazed at the countless shining stars and breathed in the fresh air, feeling an overwhelming sense of freedom.
"Hahaha, this is wonderful! We are finally out!" Ni Xiaotang couldn’t help but laugh joyfully.
Having been trapped in the immortal formation for over a thousand years, she yearned for freedom throughout that entire time.
Although she could see the stars and breathe in the fresh air while in the formation, she had never experienced true freedom.
Now, she was free at last.
But just as Ni Xiaotang had barely exited the formation, a figure appeared behind her.
"Ni Xiaotang."
A sudden voice called out.
Ni Xiaotang turned around and saw a woman whose presence left her speechless.
Stumbling over her words, she finally managed to exclaim, "Master."
The woman before her was none other than Ni Xiaotang’s teacher, Li Ziwei.
"Ni Xiaotang, where have you been for over a thousand years?"
"Huh! You broke through to the Late Tribulation stage!"
Li Ziwei was surprised to discover that Ni Xiaotang hadn’t used her divine sense to check. She realized that Ni Xiaotang had indeed broken through to the Late Tribulation stage.
"Master, I was trapped by my grandteacher for over a thousand years."
"My Dad trapped you?" Li Ziwei was astonished.
"Yes, if you come with me, you’ll understand."
With that, Ni Xiaotang cast a spell, revealing a door in the immortal formation.
"Huh? There’s a formation here?"
Li Ziwei was very surprised; she never imagined there was a formation hidden right beneath her nose.
"Master, you and I should go in." Ni Xiaotang flew into the formation, with Li Ziwei following closely behind.
However, once Li Ziwei entered the formation, she was taken aback.
In the formation, there were at least several million people.
To think so many people were hidden right under her nose, and she hadn’t noticed at all!
Soon, Li Ziwei discovered the extraordinary nature of this formation.
She realized that this formation was an immortal formation, and it was one she could not break.
"Master, let me introduce you to the situation here…"
Next, Ni Xiaotang explained the circumstances within the immortal formation to Li Ziwei.
In the process, Li Ziwei also found her other disciple, Liu Yuqi.
"You mean, my Dad has over fifty thousand children here?"
Upon hearing that her father had fathered over fifty thousand younger siblings in the immortal formation, even Li Ziwei’s calm demeanor began to crack.
"Master, my grandteacher said that we can only open the immortal formation once most of the children break through to the Tribulation stage. Recently, over thirty thousand children have broken through to the Tribulation stage, so…"
"What? Over thirty thousand people have broken through to the Tribulation stage?"
Li Ziwei was astounded to hear about the thirty thousand breakthroughs.
"Yes, Master."
"Good, that’s wonderful."
Immediately, Li Ziwei smiled.
"I didn’t expect my Dad to leave me such a big surprise before he left." Li Ziwei felt very happy.
With so many tribulation stage cultivators, she could launch a full-scale attack against the beast tribe.
In the past, the Human Race had refrained from attacking the beast tribe mainly because there were too many beast emperors.
Although the beast tribe no longer had any Beast Immortals and the Human Race had over a dozen human immortals, the sheer number of beast emperors made it impossible for the Human Race to eliminate all of them.
If the monsters couldn’t win, they could escape; in the vast starry sky, once a beast emperor hid, human immortals could hardly find them.
If the Human Race and beast tribe went to war, those beast emperors would certainly slaughter the lower-level cultivators of the Human Race.
There were too many Human Race strongholds, and with only a few human immortals, they could not guard all their territory.
Now, with over thirty thousand tribulation stage great emperors, the Human Race could not only defend all their lands but also mount an all-out attack on the beast tribe, directly eliminating them.
"Huh? Wait a minute, you said you were taken by my Dad over fourteen hundred years ago; wasn’t my Dad dead at that time?"
Suddenly, Li Ziwei realized something was wrong.
Her father had clearly died, killed by the Beast Immortal of the beast tribe.
"Master, actually my grandteacher did not die; he became an immortal long ago."
"What?"
Li Ziwei felt as if her biological father had played a trick on her upon hearing Ni Xiaotang’s words.
She quickly used the system space to communicate with her father.
Then she discovered that her ability to communicate with her father had been disabled.
What Li Ziwei didn’t know was that after Li Xiaojun agreed to let the people in the immortal formation out, he had blocked all communication features for the daughters on the side of the Cultivation Alliance.
Having suddenly fathered so many younger siblings, now that this situation was known, where would this old father’s pride go?
He had to let it settle for a while.
