Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 497 The Advancement Battle is Coming

The round little house has a unique sense of security.

Li Xia sat cross-legged on the ground, effortlessly awakening the dormant power within the room.

The world before my eyes gradually became unreal, until it became clear again.

We have already arrived at that cliff.

Li Xia's fingers gently brushed against the plum blossoms still covered in snow, causing the petals to tremble slightly, the touch feeling incredibly real.

He sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, but instead of rushing into cultivation, he calmed his mind and pondered in this pure land of cultivation beyond the mortal world.

The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts have been completed once. If all the previous hard work in cultivation was just to confirm that 'that piece of land is mine'...

So now we should be at the stage of laying the foundation.

But Li Xia's doubts did not lie there. The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts were indeed very powerful; just one completion of it had elevated him to a higher level.

Both the attributes and resistances have been improved to a higher level.

But that's not enough!
Or rather, what you see is not enough.

Old Gods, Star Gods, racial stats, and other monsters that you can't fight against even though you're the same level as them.

As a top-tier lineage, they must have a way to deal with that kind of monster.

But he didn't see that possibility.

so----

Li Xia opened the panel of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, and the attribute at the bottom was particularly eye-catching.

[Five Elements Mutual Generation: ??? (Unlocked after reaching Tier 4)]

If there's a way, it must be this one.

A sense of anticipation suddenly welled up in his heart; the fourth rank was almost here!

After clearing his mind of all distractions, he closed his eyes and slowly immersed his entire being in the cycle of Qi circulation.

After being replenished, the true qi seemed to have changed.

What was once a lively stream has now become increasingly clear and lucid.

It simply flows gently through the body, infusing every part it passes through with vibrant life.

As the true qi circulates, a faint white light begins to emanate from the body's surface, and the light becomes more solid and substantial.

It also possesses the gentleness and inclusiveness of flowing water.

Time passed quietly, and Li Xia suddenly opened his eyes. Two beams of light flashed in his eyes and disappeared into the air, while invisible waves of energy surged outwards.

Snowflakes fluttered down, and plum blossoms in the distance swayed in the breeze, their delicate fragrance drifting down with the falling petals.

Li Xia stood up, felt the power surging within his body, and looked on with a hint of surprise.

It's different now, completely different.

If the original Eight-Nine Arcane Arts only injected energy into the body, allowing the body to slowly adapt to the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

So now it's like you've completed the basic adaptation and are starting to really strengthen yourself from the bottom up.

Li Xia clenched his fists, feeling as if with every breath, every second, he was becoming stronger.

When he returned to the manor, Aowu had already finished installing it online.

As expected, nobody believed the video it posted. Aside from praising the impressive special effects, there was nothing but ridicule and sarcasm.

Because Xiaolong also mentioned his experience of driving away the typhoon when he posted the message.

Most people are just watching and having fun as Aowu and people argue.

Some unassuming experts are indeed curious about the typhoon's sudden and miraculous turn and are trying to find the reason from a scientific perspective.

But most of the time it was met with ridicule.

"Still calling yourself a dragon? You've chosen an ID like 'Grandpa Dragon,' do you really think you're a dragon?"
If this image quality is real, I'll eat right here. What kind of equipment can produce this level of clarity in this weather and at this altitude?

"Are American technologies inferior to yours? They don't even have this kind of equipment."

"Have you ever been a dragon before? How dare you post this on such a presumptuous basis!"

Riding a dragon with roaring whiskers, I frantically pounded the keyboard:
"Little cat, open that idiot's box for me. If I, the Dragon Lord, don't come over today to watch him eat, I'm not worthy to be a dragon!"

Li Xia, who had been silently observing, suddenly spoke up:

"Awoo, you can't go. We can't go too far."

The crackling sounds stopped, and Aowu seemed petrified, the entire dragon radiating a faint sadness.

"Boss, do you know any assassins? Can you get one to kidnap him and bring him here?"

“I do know them, but have you forgotten? We wiped them all out when we went to the Middle East.” Li Xia stretched, waved to Xiao Long, and walked straight to his room.

The three boys may play around, but they always know their limits. The reason they act so recklessly is because they know that modern netizens won't believe anything they see.

Time flies by so fast; it seems like only a blink of an eye and the time spent in the mortal world has reached its minimum.

Li Xia didn't hesitate at all; he was now filled with longing for the fourth tier.

That was the eagerness to see the higher gates and the more beautiful scenery.

"The palace has returned!"

[Detecting the executioner's real-world time]

Minimum requirements have been met.

[Returning...]

Welcome back to the Hall of Light!

"Same as always, Aowu, take Black Charcoal and Howling Sky to the trading street and take this 200,000."

Li Xia transferred some of the remaining Hall Points to Aowu, and as the chief steward, Xiaolong was responsible for many aspects of procurement, including intelligence gathering.

Just within the hall, Aowu saved Li Xia an unknown amount of time, not to mention that Xiaolong was also an excellent support.

"No problem! Second brother, third brother, come with me!"

Watching the three little ones gradually disappear into the crowd, Li Xia headed to the enhancement hall alone.

This is the final enhancement at the third tier.
