Immortal Rebel: The Obstacles!

"Holy crap? Something's not right! How come Situ Nan has become so powerful since Wang Lin reached Foundation Establishment?"

After witnessing Situ Nan's series of unruly actions, Li Mozhi was somewhat incredulous.

In the original story, when Wang Lin was being chased by Teng Li, he only had the cultivation level of the fifteenth level of Qi Condensation. Situ Nan could only use teleportation to carry Wang Lin all the way to escape. How come the style changed after Wang Lin reached the Foundation Establishment stage?

Did quantitative change lead to qualitative change?

Li Mozhi's expression hardened. He scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that after Wang Lin staggered into the wild jungle, he did not make any rash moves. Instead, he found a dilapidated tree to hide behind and began to work hard to heal his injuries.

"Is the foundation of cultivation unstable? If one is not careful, his cultivation level may regress to the Qi Condensation stage?" Li Mozhi discovered that Wang Lin's Dao foundation was about to collapse. It seemed that Situ Nan's use of his body to perform magic had caused great damage to Wang Lin.

"Wait a minute! Wang Lin has already arrived in the desolate jungle, why hasn't the system notified him yet?"

Li Mozhi quickly waved his hand, and the Roadblock System immediately appeared in front of him.

Current progress: thirteen days

The timeline remained unchanged; those thirteen days were still the time Li Mozhi spent blocking Wang Lin at the Hengyue Sect.

"What's the difference between this and happily opening your browser only to find a 404 error?" Li Mozhi thought to himself, a thousand animals stampeding through his mind.

After painstakingly subduing Zi Xuan, finding all the monsters in the wild jungle, and arranging everything, the system's side quest could not be triggered.

Well, it wasn't too hard. It just took some time to subdue the monsters. I didn't have to do anything else myself, since I had a free helper by my side.

"Kill Teng Li in the Savage Jungle? Kill Teng Li in the Savage Jungle! Teng Li... damn it!"

Li Mozhi took a closer look at the side quest title and instantly realized that Teng Li could only trigger the system's side quest in the Wilderness Jungle. It wouldn't be triggered if Wang Lin was alone.

Thinking of this, Li Mo had an idea and gave instructions to Zi Xuan, who was still healing.

"See that Foundation Establishment cultivator? That's him. I'm going out for a bit. If anything happens to him when I get back, I'll hold you accountable. If he's dead, then you have no reason to live either."

Zi Xuan suddenly opened his eyes. This was a matter of life and death, so he had no choice but to nod seriously.

Zi Xuan immediately scanned the area with his divine sense and found that the Foundation Establishment cultivator was still healing. He respectfully replied, "Yes, sir!"

Li Mozhi was still somewhat uneasy, so he slightly moved his lips and transmitted his voice to the white ape, the king of monsters in the wild jungle.

"Keep an eye on Zi Xuan beside me. If he harbors any ill intentions towards that Foundation Establishment cultivator, you can strike directly and kill him on the spot!"

"No demonic beasts should appear within a hundred miles of this Foundation Establishment cultivator, and no one should disturb his healing. After this operation, his soul blood will be returned to you, and you will be set free!"

Upon hearing this, the white ape was overjoyed, for this was a matter of great importance concerning its freedom. It immediately ordered its subordinates to stay away from the Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Even it itself kept a close eye on Zi Xuan, its eyes filled with hostility. "If Zi Xuan makes a move, I will kill him immediately. I remember clearly the grudge of that day when he threw the lightning ball into my cave!"

"Yes, sir!"

Li Mo knew he didn't have time to concern himself with their inner thoughts. The two sides were mutually restraining each other, and both sides' soul blood was in his hands, their lives and deaths were in his hands. He figured they wouldn't dare to act rashly.

After giving his instructions, Li Mozhi vanished from the forest in a flash. "The script is finished, the location is set up, even the lead actors are in place. Now you're telling me the villain ran away?"

He looked in the direction Teng Li had left, his face darkening, and said coldly, "Teng Li... I've come to find you!"

……

As Teng Li fled, his face was pale. He couldn't help but recall the scene that had just happened. Outside the wild jungle, the person he was chasing seemed to have divine power. His words could change the weather and even cause his own Nascent Soul level magic treasure to dissipate.

Teng Li had been chasing Wang Lin for several days, and he immediately realized that the person at the time was definitely not him.

That person would never possess such a terrifying aura, that lawless and unruly aura, which only an old monster who has cultivated for countless years could have.

In Teng Li's mind, the only one who could rival him was perhaps the patriarch of the Teng family, his great-grandfather, Teng Huayuan.

"It seems I have no choice but to go back to my clan and find my great-grandfather. That brat will definitely not let me go. Please ask my great-grandfather for help. Besides that teleportation treasure, that wondrous green flying sword will also be mine!"

Teng Li's face was gloomy, and his speed suddenly increased several times, in order to return to Teng Family City as quickly as possible.

Just then, the sky rumbled, dark clouds gathered, and everything turned pitch black, as if the end of the world had arrived.

"Great-grandson, your actions during this pursuit have truly disappointed me!" An aged voice suddenly resounded throughout the surroundings.

Teng Li looked around blankly, unable to find the source of the voice.

But he was all too familiar with that voice; it was none other than the patriarch of the Teng family, his great-grandfather, Teng Huayuan.

"Great-grandfather, why didn't you intervene just now! Your most beloved great-grandson almost lost his life!" Teng Li said, tears streaming down his face.

"Don't you understand? This whole journey has been a test for you. Think about it carefully: why did that person kill Chen Zhong but not you? It was an easy task; why didn't he do it?"

Teng Huayuan's words instantly enlightened Teng Li. Recalling the details of that time, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"That man killed Chen Zhongshang with just one finger, why didn't he finish me off in the same way? He was just bluffing, all show and no substance! Yes, that's right! Great-grandfather saw through everything!"

A cloud of black mist suddenly appeared in mid-air, and a "kind" voice came from within it.

"Go, go into the wild jungle and bring back that brat's head. This is your great-grandfather's test for you! I've already discovered that his cultivation has been greatly damaged, and he's only at the early Foundation Establishment stage. Great-grandson, don't disappoint me again!"

"Great-grandfather, why...?" Teng Li asked, looking at the cloud of black mist, puzzled.

"My great-grandfather is currently practicing a secret technique that cannot be shown to others or used in practice. That's why I said this is a test for you!"

"If your life is in danger, even if it means failing to master this secret technique, your great-grandfather will still come to your rescue!"

Having received Teng Huayuan's promise, Teng Li regained his former confidence, patted his chest, and said confidently.

"My great-grandson will surely pass this test and will not disappoint his great-grandfather!"
