Chapter 172 171: Love Grows over Time, the Empress Sinks Into Evil (Part 1) [Subscribe]
Did you use up too much spiritual power just now to resist the meteorite...
Li Xu figured out the reason for Ji Wei's sudden loss of breath, and then felt anxious.
He has not yet reached the fourth level of cultivation and cannot control the air. If he falls from this height and hits the ground, Ji Wei's first-level physical body may not be able to withstand it.
Just when Li Xu wanted to use all his strength to catch up with Ji Wei who was falling in front, and use the charm method to resolve the crisis for the two of them, he saw her biting her lower lip tightly and barely holding on to a mouthful of spiritual power. He absorbed himself into the palm of his hand again, and rolled himself down in a gliding posture to a lake that was half destroyed by a meteorite.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Have you lost a lot of spiritual power?"
As soon as Li Xu climbed up from Ji Wei's soft, warm and fragrant body, he immediately looked at her pale and beautiful face with concern.
"I'm fine..."
Ji Weiming wanted to be tough at first, but after Jiaorou gasped twice, she finally couldn't hold back, and whispered: "The catastrophe of heaven and earth 20,000 years ago... was really powerful. Not only was the spiritual energy of heaven and earth exhausted, but also the spiritual energy in my sea of energy. The power is also dissipating uncontrollably.”
Is the spiritual power of your Qihai escaping?
Li Xu was startled when he heard this and looked down at Ji Weiming's lower abdomen. Only then did he notice something strange about her body.
Ji Wei's life seemed to be deflated as if an inflatable doll had deflated. The spiritual energy that was originally filled with energy in her sea of qi was leaking out from the pores all over her body.
"Your Majesty, don't panic. There are pills in my Najie that can help your Majesty recover quickly!"
Li Xu had just finished comforting him, but was stunned again.
Not only is Ji Weiming's spiritual energy leaking, but the Najie on his body is also leaking spiritual energy to the outside world.
There are countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures stored in the Taina ring. The shelf life should be infinite. However, at this moment, with the loss of the laws of heaven and earth, all heavenly materials and earthly treasures, including spiritual stones, have all evaporated their spiritual energy and turned into a puddle of powder. .
"The spiritual energy is exhausted, the Age of Dharma Ending...is that what it means? All monks and heavenly materials and earthly treasures have lost their spiritual energy!"
When Li Xu suddenly realized this, his heart sank heavily.
"Ji Wei's fate is by no means a special case. With the catastrophe of the collapse of heaven just now, at this moment, all the monks in Tianxuan Continent must have lost their cultivation and quickly become ordinary mortals - but, how come my cultivation is still the same? Intact?"
Li Xu soon discovered a new anomaly. His spiritual power was still deposited in the depths of the Qi Sea, and it did not leak out uncontrollably like Ji Wei's life.
"Could it be because I shared the Daluo Taoist Holy Body from Li Tianai?"
"The Holy Body of Daluo Dao Fetus not only allows me to obtain the Daluo Sword and recognizes its master, but also makes me immune to the negative effects caused by the collapse of Heavenly Dao?"
The more Li Xu pondered, the more suspicious he became, and he decided that the origin of his adopted sister must be extraordinary. However, whether it was the memories of the past twenty years or the original plot of the game in his previous life, they all showed that Li Tian'ai was just an abandoned baby picked up by Li Chunfeng.
"Get out of here...I, I can't let my cultivation continue to escape!"
At this time, Ji Wei Ming, who was softly pinned down by Li Xu, suddenly gasped a few times and pushed him away. She sat cross-legged with two of her top-notch big white legs, trying to draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the Frozen Thousand Miles. body, so as to make up for the spiritual power that is constantly escaping from her Qi sea.
"it's useless."
Li Xu looked at Ji Wei practicing her breath adjustment and thought silently in her heart.
"We have entered the Age of Dharma Ending where the way of heaven has collapsed. Where is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for you to practice?"
Just now he discovered that the Najie on his hand was also losing spiritual energy, so Li Xu immediately tried to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
According to Su Xianer, before the collapse of Heavenly Dao 20,000 years ago, Tianxuan Continent was experiencing the most prosperous cultivation era in history. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely abundant, creating countless powerful monks.
When he first traveled through time, Li Xu also clearly felt the gold content of the great world of cultivation. The concentration of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth 20,000 years ago was hundreds of times that of 20,000 years later! With Li Xu's luck qualifications reaching over 190, he only needs to perform a few heaven-level exercises, and endless spiritual energy from heaven and earth will converge towards him crazily.
But from the moment the meteorite rain fell, the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him disappeared without a trace. No matter how Li Xu used the heaven-level skills, he could not draw them back.
"That's bad news for me too."
"Although I have not lost my spiritual power like Ji Weiming and other monks because of Daluo Taoist Holy Body, I can no longer absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation, and my state will always stay at the fifth-grade god transformation stage."
"No, I am not as simple as staying at the fifth level of cultivation... I am now like a power bank filled with spiritual power. Every time I use my cultivation, the corresponding spiritual power is consumed. Once I use up the spiritual power in the sea of qi, When all my strength is exhausted, I will become a complete ordinary person like other monks."
Li Xu thought this was ironic.
At first, he tried every means to reach a reconciliation with Ji Weiming, just to get her invincible combat power to help him, but now the two of them have reconciled, but Ji Weiming is gradually losing her spiritual power and becoming an ordinary person, while he is just... Under the guidance of his adopted sister, he became the only fifth-grade monk left in the world, and became the invincible person in the world.
But the problem is that my fifth-grade cultivation level is still expendable. It will be consumed in just a few battles. Is it enough for me to attack the Haotian Sect and steal the Great Luo Sword?
"Don't panic. The more complicated the situation, the more you need to stay calm..."
Li Xu tried his best to maintain rational thoughts. For the sake of his adopted sister, Xia Lengbai, Cheng Susu and others, he must return to the modern age 20,000 years later. No difficulty can change his determination!
"According to the murals in the ruins of Haotian Sect, after the catastrophe, due to the influence of the Daluo Sword that fell from the sky, the people of Haotian Sect did not lose their cultivation immediately, but were first involved in the turbulence of time and space."
"After experiencing various illusions of time and space reversal, the people of Haotian Sect began to gradually lose their cultivation. In order to preserve the inheritance of the Taoist tradition, the leader of Haotian Sect used secret methods to sacrifice all the elders and disciples into puppets and buried them in the ten thousand feet of ice in the north. In the end, he jumped into the long river of time alone."
"In other words, if I want to find Haotian Sect, I can't go to its original sect address, but should go to the north in advance to wait..."
Thinking of this, the words that Su Xian'er told him before echoed in his ears again.
"The remains of the Haotian Sect that the Great Emperor Jiu Ri spent his entire life searching for turned out to be hidden in this ghost place in the North!"
"In his later years, the Great Emperor Jiu Ri devoted almost all his energy to searching for the remains of the Haotian Sect. The ancient books did not clearly state whether the Great Emperor Jiu Ri finally found the Daluo Sword, but I guess he should have found it..."
Li Xu did not know whether the established history could be changed. If it could not be changed, according to what Xian'er said, he would have to search for the Haotian Sect until his later years? !
But if history could be changed, would it still be history?
"Don't panic..."
"As long as I can return to 20,000 years later, it doesn't matter even if I search until my later years. After all, this represents the hope of my reunion with Li Tianai!"
When Li Xu thought that he would most likely have to search for the Haotian Sect for decades, he could not help but feel lost and panic, but he was not desperate, because as long as he got the Daluo Sword, he could use the time and space laws of the immortal sword to accurately teleport himself back to the time point he had just left 20,000 years ago.
Perhaps in this era 20,000 years ago, he would have spent several decades, but in the perspective of Su Xian'er, Cheng Susu and others 20,000 years later, he was just taken away by the Daluo Sword in the last second, and immediately traveled back in the next second.
"Is it really me, the Nine-Day Emperor who saved the world as Xian'er said?"
"But I don't have any bullshit thoughts of saving the world... I can't even save myself, I just want to return to 20,000 years later as soon as possible."
The more Li Xu recalled the information about the Nine-Day Emperor that Su Xian'er told him at that time, the more complicated his eyes became when he looked at Ji Weiming beside him, especially the sentence:
"In the desperate background of the end of the world at that time, the Nine-Day Emperor was like the rising sun, and with the assistance of his wife, the Saint Queen Ji Weiming, he saved the people from the catastrophe!"
...
...
Along with the end of the law era, there was also eternal darkness.
From that night on, there was no bright moon in Tianxuan Continent, let alone the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. There was only a gray and oppressive sky that was suffocating.
Ji Weiming didn't know how long she had been operating the Ice Sealing Thousand Miles, until she was awakened by a burst of fragrance. She was unable to attract a trace of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but instead completely dissipated the spiritual power in her sea of qi.
She relied entirely on her own peak first-class cultivation to unify the major barbarian tribes and become the peerless empress of the North. Suddenly losing the power to surpass the peak of the world made her feel unprecedented hesitation and uneasiness, as if everything she had now would leave her with her cultivation.
"How is your Majesty's cultivation?"
A low and calm voice came into her ears.
Ji Weiming's eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes, and a burning bonfire was reflected in her beautiful pupils.
Next to the bonfire, Li Xu handed her a shiny roasted hare: "Eat something first, fill your stomach to have the strength to practice."
Ji Weiming was silent for a moment, took the roasted rabbit and gnawed it silently.
After her cultivation was lost, she completely became a mortal. If she had been supplied with spiritual energy from heaven and earth before, she could even eat wind and drink dew without feeling hungry, but now she was so hungry that she was seeing stars.
"My cultivation will never recover."
Ji Weiming said suddenly when she was halfway through eating the roasted rabbit.
"I can't sense the spiritual energy from heaven and earth. I don't know how long it will last... I can't take you to Haotian Sect for the time being."
Li Xu was silent for a moment, and said casually: "It doesn't matter. My cultivation is still there. I can protect your majesty, and I will definitely take your majesty back to the modern world in the end."
Ji Weiming was startled, her red lips were soaked in grease and became crystal clear, which was many times more fragrant than the shiny roasted rabbit in her hand. She turned her head and looked at Li Xu.
"Why, your majesty doesn't believe me?"
Ji Weiming looked into his deep eyes for a while, and continued to lower her head to bite the roasted rabbit, neither answering whether she believed it or not.
Li Xu sighed secretly when he saw this.
He knew that Ji Weiming would only be more eager to return to the modern world than himself.
I have to go back 20,000 years for Li Tianai and other talents, but Ji Weiming does it for her barbarian people. Compared with her love, her family and country are obviously more important.
"Your Majesty, don't worry."
Li Xu comforted: "No matter how long we live in this era, as long as we find the Daluo Sword, we can travel back to the time when we first left, and your Majesty's barbarian people will not be in trouble."
"..."
Ji Weiming stopped talking to him, still without saying a word, and continued to close her eyes and regulate her breathing after eating the roasted rabbit silently, trying to draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into her body.
Li Xu couldn't persuade her to give up. He knew that she would definitely find it difficult to accept the fact that she had lost her cultivation in a short period of time, so he could only let her try until she gave up.
After extinguishing the burning bonfire with one foot, Li Xu chose a spot near Ji Weiming by the lake and closed his eyes to take a nap.
Although he was not like Ji Weiming who would not turn back until he hit the wall, he could not fall asleep at all. As soon as he closed his eyes, his adopted sister's noble jade face like a fairy and her ethereal and royal voice that he never got tired of listening to kept flashing in his mind.
Under the endless loss and pain, Li Xu was like savoring a treasure, flipping through the bits and pieces of his childhood with Li Tianai from the depths of his memory.
"Sister, don't practice today, play with me, okay?"
"When should I wait before I can practice with my sister?"
"Xiao Xu loves my sister the most, hehe."
"I don't want my sister to go to the battlefield! Wuwuwu, anyone can go to the battlefield, but my sister is not allowed to go!"
"Sister, sister, sister..."
As he flipped through the memories, half asleep and half awake, a burst of "gurgling" water flow suddenly woke Li Xu up.
He turned his head reflexively following the sound and saw "sister" standing in the middle of the lake not far away.
Under the dim light of the gray sky, "Li Tianai" was naked, her snow-white body seemed to be the dawn guiding people's hearts in the darkness. She scooped up a handful of lake water and gently sprinkled it on her shoulders and beautiful back.
"So similar..."
Li Xu whispered in a voice that only he could hear.
He had long felt that Ji Weiming and his adopted sister were very similar. Ji Weiming was not only the heroine in the original novel who was closest to Li Tianai in appearance and figure, but also had the same aloof and noble temperament, and even their voices were ethereal and beautiful.
"Puff."
Accompanied by a sound of falling into the water that was barely perceptible in the grayness, Li Xu dived into the bottom of the lake, turned into an arrow from a string, and swam quickly towards the noble figure in the center of the lake.
"...Who?!"
Since she killed everyone from the Haotian Sect, Ji Weiming has not had time to clean herself up. After several fruitless attempts to draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, she finally gave up the futile attempt and was about to go to the lake while Li Xu was sleeping to wash off the filth he left behind when he was detoxifying her. Unexpectedly, she had just started bathing when she sensed something strange at the bottom of the lake. Her face turned pale and her voice was also a little panicked.
"Your Majesty, it's me."
Li Xu put his hands around Ji Weiming's pink back and beautiful legs, and with a "splash", he picked her up from the lake in a princess hug. (End of this chapter)
