The Cycle of Reincarnation in the Four-Courtyard House: A Journey Through the Heavens

"Clatter~"

A crisp, soft thud broke the silence of the underground palace's treasure vault.

Evelyn cautiously opened her tightly closed eyes, and where her gaze fell, lay a mangled, dried-up corpse on the ground.

At the same time, a faint purple lightning flashed across the depths of Li Xiao's pupils, disappearing in an instant.

When he devoured Imhotep's soul, he quietly activated the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning within his body. With the supreme power of the divine lightning, he purified all the remaining violent and cursed impurities in Imhotep's soul, leaving only the purest soul essence, which was then completely devoured by the nascent soul in his sea of ​​consciousness.

With everything settled, the underground palace and treasure vault returned to silence.

Li Xiao turned to look at Evelyn beside him. At this moment, she was like a frightened fawn, her body slightly curled up, her whole body still trembling slightly uncontrollably, and the lingering fear in her eyes. She had not yet fully recovered from the terrifying scene just now.

Seeing her like this, Li Xiao stepped forward, reached out and pulled her into his arms. He whispered in her ear, slowly recounting Imhotep's origins and the past three thousand years ago.

From Imhotep's glorious position as High Priest of the Pharaoh three thousand years ago, to his forbidden love affair with Anshuna, his heinous crimes of regicide and treason, and his subsequent suffering from insect bites and imprisonment in a sarcophagus, everything is clearly recounted.

Evelyn had heard of these ancient Egyptian secrets before, but little historical material from this period has survived, so her understanding of it was incomplete.

After listening to Li Xiao's detailed explanation, the last trace of fear she had of him completely vanished.

She understood that the man she loved was not indiscriminately killing innocent people; what he had just done was simply eliminating an ancient demon that had been dormant for thousands of years and was extremely dangerous.

If Imhotep were allowed to escape and even return to the human world, with his magical powers and powerful soul force, he would surely unleash boundless calamities, slaughter all living beings, and cause immeasurable disastrous consequences for the entire human world.

With this thought in mind, Evelyn calmed down completely, tightly raising her arms to hug Li Xiao's waist, her heart filled with nothing but dependence and love.

After calming down, Evelyn looked up at the mountain of gold, jewels, and rare treasures, and couldn't help but speak softly, her tone tinged with helplessness and regret: "My dear, there are too many burial goods here. How are we going to move them out?"

Faced with her doubts, Li Xiao smiled calmly. With a slight thought, a vast divine sense spread out and completely covered the underground treasure vault.

In the next instant, the mountain of treasures vanished without a sound. The once dazzling and extravagant underground vault was completely emptied, leaving only the pharaoh's coffin in the center of the vault.

This incredible and illogical method once again shocked Evelyn.

She stared blankly at the empty underground palace, her eyes filled with amazement and admiration, and her respect for Li Xiao grew stronger.

At this moment, her admiration for Li Xiao grew even stronger. Women all fall for the strong, and Li Xiao, a mysterious, powerful, and omnipotent figure, gave Evelyn a great sense of security.

The two left the city of the dead together and returned to the bustling ancient city of Cairo.

Having shed the eerie and dangerous atmosphere of the ancient tomb and returned to the bustling world, Evelyn's tense mind finally relaxed completely, and she took the initiative to show Li Xiao around this world-renowned ancient city.

For three whole days, the two wandered through the streets and alleys of Cairo.

They stood at the foot of the majestic pyramids, gazing up at the grandeur of the Pharaohs' civilization from a thousand years ago; strolled along the ancient Nile River, feeling the gentle evening breeze, recounting the historical relics on both banks; wandered through the ancient city streets with their strong desert character, visiting centuries-old libraries, ancient temple ruins, and savoring local delicacies.

Three days of spending time together deepened their feelings for each other, and the years passed gently and peacefully.

The short trip passed in the blink of an eye, and the day of parting arrived as scheduled. After resting, Li Xiao was ready to return home, where "Mr. Zombie" was waiting for him.

Upon learning that Li Xiao was about to return to China, Evelyn's heart was instantly filled with a deep sense of reluctance, her eyes filled with tenderness and loneliness.

In less than a month of getting to know each other, this mysterious, powerful, yet incredibly caring Eastern man had already completely captured her heart.

However, she still has a lot of work to do at the library and cannot return to Dragon Kingdom with him at the moment.

Looking at the sullen beauty in his arms, Li Xiao gently stroked her soft hair and said, "You only have two more months to finish your work here, right? Then I'll personally take you to see the Dragon Kingdom."

Evelyn's eyes lit up with surprise when she heard Li Xiao's promise.

She was well aware of Li Xiao's mystery and power, and had personally witnessed his countless extraordinary abilities, so she never doubted his capabilities.

Upon hearing that Li Xiao would take her back to the Dragon Kingdom, Evelyn's heart was filled with happiness and sweetness.

"Darling, I'll be waiting for you in Cairo to pick me up!"

Don't worry!

On the eve of their parting, the bedroom was filled with tenderness and affection, and three hours of intense passion dispelled Evelyn's melancholy about leaving.

As dawn broke, the morning light streamed through the window into the room. Evelyn was still fast asleep in Li Xiao's arms. Li Xiao leaned down and gently kissed her smooth forehead, his movements extremely tender, as if afraid of disturbing her peaceful slumber.

After getting dressed, Li Xiao didn't linger and disappeared from the bedroom.

The next instant, he was already high in the sky, the fierce high-altitude wind howling and blowing, whipping his clothes, with endless yellow sand stretching beneath his feet, the sea of ​​clouds surging, and the world vast.

His destination was the vast, sparsely populated Sahara Desert.

Previously in the underground palace, he had completely devoured Imhotep's divine soul essence, and his cultivation had already reached perfection, completely breaking through the shackles of cultivation and reaching the critical point of breakthrough.

He chose the depths of the Sahara Desert, not far away, as the site for his tribulation to break through to the Void Refinement Realm. It was 1923, and no matter how he underwent his tribulation in the desert, he would not be detected by the outside world, since there were no satellites in the sky at that time.

The deepest, uninhabited forbidden zone in the Sahara Desert is an excellent place for secluded cultivation and breakthroughs.

At this moment, Li Xiao sat cross-legged on the yellow sand, his spiritual power surging and flowing around him, thus triggering the Heavenly Tribulation and officially breaking through to the Void Refining Realm.

The tribulation required to break through to the Void Refinement Realm is far greater than that required to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm.

Each lightning tribulation in the Void Refining Realm contains terrifying power to tear apart the Dao Foundation and Primordial Spirit, doubling the danger. Countless exceptionally talented cultivators have perished under this tribulation.
