A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 217 Holy crap~~
The deafening roar of the black lightning bolt colliding with the multicolored light bolt still echoed above Qingshui City. The debris kicked up by the shockwave fell like a torrential rain, but it was shattered by a layer of pale golden bell shadow as it approached Li Weizhou.

The Eastern Emperor Bell ultimately withstood the full force of a Celestial Spirit Realm expert's attack, but the price of not unleashing an attack comparable to a Celestial Spirit Realm expert within the Five Elements Formation far exceeded Li Weizhou's tolerance limit.

The moment the pillar of light dissipated, the five-colored spiritual light around him suddenly dimmed, and the Five Elements Divine Sword clattered into the ground, revealing his swaying body.

Her once jet-black hair turned snow-white at a visible speed, her tight skin quickly loosened and became covered with deep wrinkles, and even her lips lost their color, turning as pale as a withered corpse.

In an instant, his black hair turned white, and he reached the point of decay.

"Hahaha! So it's a forbidden technique!"

Upon seeing this, the black-robed elder, who was not much better off than Li Weizhou, was first stunned, then burst into a maniacal laugh, the eerie green flames on his bone staff trembling.

He had already been severely injured and was barely holding on; that previous attack had pushed him to his limit.

He then received an attack from Li Weizhou that was comparable to a True Monarch of the Immortal Realm, which brought him to the point of exhaustion and inability to continue.

The old man from the sinful clan originally couldn't understand it at all, but he didn't care anymore, because Li Weizhou's situation was even worse than his.

"You exhausted your life essence to activate the forbidden technique; now you're nothing but a piece of trash waiting to be slaughtered!"

As he spoke, he dragged his bone staff step by step toward Li Weizhou. With each step, the black patterns on the ground spread further. He cackled, "You destroyed my Ice Dragon and ruined my clan's great cause. Why aren't you arrogant now? I'm going to personally skin you alive, rip out your soul, and see what secrets you're hiding in this lower realm!"

Just as his bone staff was about to touch Li Weizhou's throat, Li Weizhou's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened. There was no despair in his eyes, but instead a sharp sword light flashed.

Immediately afterwards, a strange vitality suddenly erupted from his body. It was not the gentle wood-type spiritual power, but a more primal and domineering force, which instantly flowed through his meridians and throughout his body.

Her snow-white hair turned jet black again at a speed visible to the naked eye, her loose skin quickly tightened, the wrinkles on her face receded like a tide, and even the black blood at the corner of her mouth stopped seeping out.

In the blink of an eye, he went from being a withered man on the verge of death to his former upright appearance, and the sword intent around him was even more fierce than at his peak.

Bloodshot surged within his eyes!
The extremely yin and evil energy completely stunned the old man in black robes.

Who exactly is the evil one?!

"You...you, how is this possible?!"

The old man in black robes froze instantly, his eyes filled with disbelief. His bone staff stopped in mid-air, and he even forgot to move it forward. He exclaimed incredulously, "What kind of evil magic is this? You clearly already..."

Li Weizhou did not answer, but slowly gripped the Five Elements Divine Sword stuck in the ground.

The sword vibrated and hummed, and the five-colored spiritual light once again condensed into a pure evil-dispelling sword aura.

"No! Impossible!"

The old man in black robes finally felt fear. He even sensed that he might be caught off guard and turned to flee into the black miasma.

But Li Weizhou's sword was faster than his fear.

"cut!"

Li Weizhou let out a low shout and unleashed the Five Elements Divine Sword.

A five-colored sword aura that stretched across the sky caught up with the black-robed old man in an instant.

When the sword energy pierced through his protective black miasma, it made no sound, but directly cleaved his body and bone staff in two.

At the last moment, shock, anger, and resentment lingered in the old man's eyes.

He died without understanding what kind of evil technique a Spirit God Realm cultivator had practiced to achieve this.

No way, impossible!
Li Weizhou sheathed his sword and landed, swaying slightly. Although his face was not as pale as before, it still showed signs of weakness.

Although that sword strike wasn't at the Immortal Spirit Realm, it was still a strike at the peak of the Spirit God Realm.

After glancing at the corpse of the old man in black robes and casually putting it away, Li Weizhou did not linger and returned to the Five Elements Sect.

After returning to the sect, he only informed everyone that he was safe and sound before going into seclusion again.

……

How can I describe what I've gained this time...?

Hundreds of sinful beings originally focused on physical cultivation, and their essence and blood were evil and abundant.

Not to mention the three late-stage Spirit God Realm cultivators and one Sin Clan cultivator at the Immortal Spirit Realm.

In addition, there are the remains of cultivators within the vast city of Qingshui...

In short, this was the most satisfying and highest-quality meal Blood Sea had ever had since acknowledging God.

Although the blood essence was restored twice today, causing the Blood Sea to shrink by nearly 30%, the gains not only made up for the deficit, but also allowed the Blood Sea to experience another major explosion since the Ice Dragon!

Beneath the Simpson Desert, Li Weizhou sat cross-legged atop an endless sea of ​​blood.

Visibly, strands of blood essence flowed into his body.

Spirit God Realm Level 7, Spirit God Realm Level 8, Spirit God Realm Level 9...

A fairyland!!!
Unfortunately, this can only be achieved through the physical body.

To be on the safe side, Li Weizhou still did not absorb any corpse's essence or blood in the spirit world.

They all dumped these corpses on this side of Earth to be dissolved into a sea of ​​blood.

Thus, the opportunity to absorb their souls was lost.

However, Li Weizhou always believed that every move would leave a trace. Although he didn't know what that trace was, he figured it was better to be safe than sorry.

On this side of Earth, there is no law and order, and people do whatever they want.

Not only are there powerful beings in the Spirit Realm, but there's also the Immortal Realm above them, so it's never too much to be careful.

What does it feel like to have a physical body in the Immortal Realm?

Li Weizhou raised his hand and looked at his right hand. Without using any spiritual power, he felt an invisible force flowing in his palm. This was pure physical blood and qi.

He subconsciously clenched his fist, and the moment his knuckles exerted force, the surrounding space was compressed and made to hum. The surface of the sea of ​​blood beneath him was shaken and rippled outwards. Even the tiny cracks in the distant desert rock layers were clearly perceived by him.

This is the terror of the physical body in the Immortal Realm.

He looked down at his arms; the muscles beneath his skin were firmer than before, but not bulging; instead, they exuded a restrained explosive power.

He tried to circulate his qi and blood, and lightly touched the surface of the sea of ​​blood with the sole of his foot. In an instant, he turned into a blur, darting through the sand beneath the desert as if by magic.

After traversing the desert for a while, Li Weizhou stopped. Instead, he soared into the sky, heading towards the atmosphere. He easily broke through the atmosphere's constraints and arrived in near-Earth orbit.

He paused for a moment, then turned back to Shan State and picked up Xiao Rui.

The Eastern Emperor Bell also has another important function: it allows him to protect those around him...

Xiao Rui has long hair that reaches her waist, bright eyes and white teeth, and is as beautiful as an ancient lady, but her personality remains cheerful.

She nestled close to Li Weizhou, showing no fear even as they ascended and broke through the atmosphere.

Once in near-Earth orbit, you see the blue Earth beneath your feet, with clouds like a light veil covering the surface. The magnificent ocean currents of the Pacific, the lush green of the Amazon rainforest, and the snow-white glaciers of Antarctica are all clearly visible.

Satellites orbiting Earth like fireflies around the blue planet, while the distant moon radiates a silvery-white light, its craters and maria more clearly visible than from a telescope on Earth.

He took a deep breath, looked at the surprise and fascination in the girl's eyes, and continued flying towards the moon with her.

The moment the two stepped onto the moon, Xiao Rui's pretty face flushed red. She bent down to touch the lunar soil beneath her feet, then looked at Li Weizhou with a smile.

Li Weizhou smiled and gestured for her to look up. Xiao Rui looked up into deep space, and the scene of the solar system instantly unfolded before her eyes.

Mars emits a faint reddish glow, and the Olympus Mons and Valles Marineris on its surface are clearly visible, as are the white ice layers of the Martian polar caps.

Jupiter's massive body occupies a large portion of the field of vision, with orange-red stripes flowing across its surface. Its four Galilean moons, like jewels, revolve around it. While Jupiter's rings are not as spectacular as Saturn's, they still exude a majestic aura.

Saturn's rings are the most dazzling, with countless ice blocks and rocks refracting a rainbow of colors under the sunlight, a breathtaking sight.

Uranus and Neptune, even further away, radiate pale blue and pale purple halos, like two jewels in the deep sky.

Meanwhile, the sun at the center of the solar system radiates intense golden light, with countless solar flares erupting on its surface. Although it is far away, one can still feel its destructive energy.

"This is the solar system..."

Xiao Rui murmured to herself, her heart filled with shock.

These are some scenes I've seen through pictures and videos while on Earth, but how can they compare to the feeling of standing on the surface of the moon and witnessing this magnificent sea of ​​stars with my own eyes?!

Only at this moment can one truly feel the vastness of the universe and one's own insignificance.

After watching for an hour, the two found a place that couldn't be seen by satellite, had sex, and then Li Weizhou sent the satisfied Xiao Rui back before returning to the same spot.

After gazing up for a moment, Li Weizhou flew towards Mars.

Li Weizhou wasn't sure whether he could travel freely throughout the universe after his physical body broke through to the Immortal Realm.

He knows he can conquer other smaller worlds, but he doesn't know how he does it; he can find out later.

But if one cannot even ascend to the celestial realm, one is unlikely to achieve true freedom.

However, in this world, the physical body of a celestial being can fly in the vacuum of space without any pressure.

No need to breathe, no need to worry about low temperatures, the physical strength is enough to withstand all kinds of dangers in the universe.

Moreover, as his understanding of the laws of space deepens, his speed in a vacuum may not be as fast as the speed of light, but if the teleportation of the Void Step is taken into account, it should exceed the speed of light.

Of course, current spatial abilities do not yet allow for instantaneous teleportation at will.

That requires consuming spatial energy that is currently non-renewable...

Have to wait.

He had a vague premonition that things might be very different once his divine soul also cultivated to the Immortal Spirit Realm.

During the flight, he also made a special detour to the asteroid belt, watching countless asteroids of varying sizes orbiting each other. Some were covered with craters, while others still had ice layers. Each one exuded the marks of time and an aura of death...

An hour later, he arrived on Mars...

The moment his feet touched the Martian surface, he clearly felt the change in gravity: about one-third that of Earth. His body felt light yet stable as he took a step. His feet rolled over the reddish-brown gravel, the grains of which were coarser and more angular than those in Earth's deserts, making a soft "rustling" sound under his feet, like scraps of iron polished by millions of years of wind and sand.

He looked up at the sky, but instead of the azure blue of Earth, there was only a murky orange-red. The sunlight was scattered into a warm tone as it passed through the atmosphere, but it did not bring any warmth to his body.

Although the daytime temperature on the surface of Mars is higher than the nighttime temperature, it is still as low as minus ten degrees Celsius. However, this extreme low temperature is no different from the normal room temperature for the physical body of the Immortal Spirit Realm. Even breathing does not need to be deliberately regulated, as the physical body has long been adapted to the vacuum and low temperature environment.

A glance around revealed that the desolation of the Martian surface far exceeded expectations. Everywhere one looked, there were craters of varying sizes, the largest of which was hundreds of meters in diameter. The bottom of the crater was covered with thick volcanic ash, and the dark brown volcanic rock was exposed, its surface covered with glassy patterns left by the cooling of molten metal, clearly traces left by a meteorite impact hundreds of millions of years ago.

The horizon in the distance was low and gentle, with a deep ravine stretching from the horizon to the horizon.

That was the edge of Mariners Valley, with steep walls and layers of rock, like the earth cleaved by a giant axe, bottomless, exuding a primitive and majestic desolation.

"It's even more deathly silent than I imagined."

Li Weizhou murmured to himself, slowly extending his divine sense to penetrate hundreds of meters below the earth's surface. He could clearly perceive the texture of the rock layers and distinguish the differences between rock strata formed in different geological eras.

The surface layer consists of loose gravel and volcanic ash, the middle layer is hard basalt, and the deeper layers are even older sedimentary rocks.

Thirty meters underground, a faint trace of heat could be detected, flowing slowly along the cracks in the rock strata, like the residual heat of a dormant volcano, giving this desolate land a faint sense of "life".

He walked towards the direction of Sailor Valley, his steps seemingly slow, but each step actually covered a hundred meters or so. Crimson sand flew up under his feet, but it did not stick to his robes.

Occasionally, you can see dried-up riverbeds along the way, which are hundreds of meters wide, with traces of water erosion still visible on the rocks on both sides.

The sedimentary rocks are layered and the pebbles are rounded. You can even see geological structures similar to "ripple marks" in Earth's rivers.

He crouched down and touched a pebble with his fingertips. The stone was cold and hard, with a smooth, mirror-like surface, but there was no trace of water molecules left. There was only a thin layer of iron oxide film, proving that liquid water had once flowed here, but it had dried up into its current state tens of thousands of years ago.

Li Weizhou felt a sense of doubt. He raised his perception to the limit, covering a range of hundreds of miles around, but he could not detect any signs of life. Only in the center of a meteorite crater did he sense an unusual energy fluctuation.

It is neither the heat energy of geological activity nor cosmic radiation, but a faint tremor similar to "space folds".

Li Weizhou's eyes lit up, and he immediately changed direction, heading towards the meteorite crater.

The crater is about fifty meters in diameter with a flat bottom. In the center stands a black rock, about two people tall, half-buried in the gravel. Its surface is covered with irregular patterns, and faint blue light shimmers in the patterns, which is out of place with the reddish environment of Mars.

Li Weizhou reached out and pressed his hand against the surface of the rock. His fingertips felt a cool touch. The rock was denser than the surrounding Martian rocks, and he could clearly feel the spatial fluctuations emanating from within it.

His eyes widened, and finally, incredulously, he blurted out, "Holy crap!"

This is an ethereal stone!!!
